Dear Mr. Knight: This is in reply to your letter of April 14, 1971, in which you repea Rolls Royce's requests for interpretation of Standards No. 207 and 208.; The request for interpretation of the seat adjustment requirement o Standard No. 207 was initially made in your petition for reconsideration of that standard. Our response to the petitions on Standard No. 207 was published on April 20, 1971. Your petition was denied to the extent that it requested that the requirement be amended to permit 2 inches of travel. However, it is recognized that continuously adjustable seats may have a certain small amount of travel that would not be harmful, and the notice accordingly indicates that they are considered to remain in their adjusted position despite such motion.; We expect that you have by now received our reply to your questions o Standard No. 208. Your inquiry first reached us through your Washington counsel and we accordingly sent our reply by the same route. Please advise us if further clarification is needed.; Sincerely, Robert L. Carter, Acting Associate Administrator, Moto Vehicle Programs;
