Dear Mr. Krueger: This will serve to confirm your understanding that a retractor capabl of meeting the requirements for a vehicle-sensitive emergency-locking retractor under Standard No. 209 conforms to the Standard even though it is provided with a back-up webbing-sensitive retractor that locks only at webbing accelerations greater than those specified in Standard No. 209.; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Chief Counsel
