ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 1-3-91 from Paul Jackson Rice to Jeffrey P. Henderson (A37; Std. 213; Std. 302)

TEXT:

This letter is regarding whether plastic pouches that contain instruction sheets are applicable to the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 302 (MVSS 302).

In a conversation with Dee Fajita of N.H.T.S.A, she stated an interpretation has been made regarding instruction sheets as being not applicable to the requirements of MVSS 302, however, she was unaware of an interpretation regarding plastic pouches (simi lar to plastic sandwich bags).

Can you please determine whether a plastic pouch which may or may not be permanently attached to a child's car seat is applicable to the requirements of MVSS 302.

Thank you for your time and response.
