Dear Mr. Meton: This is in reply to your telegram of December 9, 1971, in which yo asked whether the effective dates of Standards 206, 207, 208, and 210 are postponed to January 1, 1974 for firefighting vehicles as a result of the adoption of the effective date provisions of 49 CFR 571.8 (36 F.R. 13926, July 28, 1971).; Our answer is that since all of the amendments making the liste standards applicable to trucks were issued prior to the September 1, 1971 reference date used in 571.8, these standards are effective on the dates established at the time of their issuance. Versions of Standards 208 and 210 became effective for trucks on July 1, 1971, and amended versions of these standards, as well as standards 206 and 207 become effective January 1, 1972.; Sincerely, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
