Dear Mr. Shue:#This responds to your April 26,1974 question whethe labeling information on hose installed in vehicles must remain legible after the vehicle is painted, and what 'permanently labeled' means in S5.2.2.#The answer of the question of painting over label information will be answered in our upcoming notice in response to petitions for reconsideration of the amendments we have made to the standard.#'Permanently labeled' means affixed in such a manner that it is not easily removable, and is reasonably designed to remain affixed and legible for the normal life of the component.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Assistant Chief Counsel;
