Dear Mr. Iinuma: This is in response to your letter of September 17, 1975, in which yo ask whether a permanent label affixed to the inside surface of a hubcap would satisfy the requirements of a new proposed paragraph S3.2 of Standard No. 211.; The intent of the proposed labeling requirements, part of a genera identification scheme for motor vehicle equipment manufacturers, is to ensure rapid and efficient identification of the manufacturer of a defective or nonconforming part or vehicle. The placement of an identifying label on the inside of a hubcap would not hinder rapid identification of the manufacturer. Therefore, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would consider that a label that is permanently affixed to the inside surface of a hubcap and contains the information specified in proposed paragraph S3.2 of Standard No. 211 would comply with the requirements of S3.2.; We hope this answer is satisfactory. If you have any other questions please contact us.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
