Dear Mr. Stewart: This is in reply to your letter of February 25, 1972, concerning Moto Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302. In your letter you ask whether the standard applies to drapery hardware and cords, plastic pulleys and carriers, and if so, whether burn rates for these components can be based on the 'Modern Plastics Encyclopedia,' which in turn is based on ASTM Test Method D635.; The standard lists the categories of interior components to which i applies. This list does not include drapery hardware, cords, plastic pulleys, or carriers, and we do not consider the standard to apply to those items.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
