Dear Mr. Ogata: This responds to your recent letter concerning the labelin requirements of Safety Standard No. 209, *Seat Belt Assemblies*. You ask whether the brand name of your vehicles, 'Mazda', may be dropped from the label on your seat belts.; The answer to your question is yes. Paragraph S4.1(k) of Safet Standard No. 209 requires the seat belt label to include year of manufacture of the assembly, model name or number of the assembly, and trade-mark of manufacturer or distributor. The name of the vehicle on which the assembly will be installed is not required to be on the seat belt assembly label.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
