Dear Mr. Matthews: In your letter of March 13 you ask for an interpretation o certification requirements applicable to remanufactured vehicles.; The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 and 49 CF Part 567 require only that certification of vehicle conformity be provided prior to the first purchase for purposes other than resale. On the basis of the work that you described as your 'remanufacturing', specifically that the vehicle retains its 'original frame, cab, body, axles, and transmission', we concur in your interpretation that vehicles of this nature are not new vehicles requiring certification of conformity with the Federal motor vehicle safety standards.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
