TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION
TEXT: This will confirm your November 11, 1976, telephone conversation with Tad Herlihy of this office, concerning the certification label required by 49 CFR Part 567.
On the vehicles in question, the certification labels mistakenly indicated 1977 as the year of manufacture, even though manufacturing was actually completed in 1976. You proposed correcting this error before sale by crossing out the digits "77" and inserting "76" directly below them.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has no objection to certification labels that have been corrected in this manner, provided that all other requirements of the certification regulation are also met.
