TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of April 21, 1977, requesting information concerning Federal regulations regarding school bus safety on behalf of your constituent, Mrs. Peter Peugeot of Rockville Centre, New York.

I have enclosed a document, "Summary Description of Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Applicable to Buses," which should be helpful to Mrs. Peugeot. I have also enclosed an information summary, "Where to Obtain Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations," along with a set of forms from our Technical Reference Branch indicating how specific information may be retrieved through computer assisted literature searches along with an outline of fees for this service.

In addition to the above material, I have enclosed an order form for the entire set of Federal motor vehicle safety standards and regulations, in case Mrs. Peugeot desires this specific volume. I would call her attention to the fact that although this document is relatively expensive, it is furnished in loose-leaf form and is updated periodically for an indefinite period with the latest amendments and changes at no additional cost.

I trust this information and material will be of value to Mrs. Peugeot. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

SINCERELY,

Congress of the United States House of Representatives

April 21, 1977

Office of Congressional Liaison National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Department of Transportation

Thanking you for your cooperation, and with every good wish, I am.
