Dear Mr. Myers: This is in further response to the telephone inquiries you made o December 14, 1971, concerning the effective date of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (sic) No. 206 with respect to trucks.; You stated that you understood that the original January 1, 1972 effective date had been or would be postponed to September 1, 1972. No such postponement has been made or proposed. The standard will go into effect with respect to trucks on the first of this coming year, as originally scheduled.; Your source of information may have confused the effective date of th standard with that of a minor proposed amendment to the standard. That amendment, which was to become effective on January 1, 1972, is now scheduled to become effective September 1, 1972. A copy of that proposed amendment is enclosed for your information.; You also asked about the existence of a mailing list which would enabl you to receive our new standards and amendments to our existing standards. The Government Printing Office periodically publishes supplements to a loose-leaf publication entitled 'Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (sic) and Regulations.' The most recent supplement, number 5, was published in November of this year. Detailed information concerning this service, including its cost, can be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.; If you wish to receive our proposed, as well as our final, new standar (sic) and amendments, you should consider subscribing to the *Federal Register*. A year's subscription to this publication, which costs $25.00, can be ordered from the Superintendent of documents.; Please write if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
