New York 10017;
Dear Mr. Lane: This is in reply to your letter of June 1, 1973 and confirms th telephone conversation with Mr. Vinson of my staff on June 14, 1973.; The amendments to Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 116 published o May 17, 1973 modified container labeling requirements only for silicone-based brake fluid and hydraulic system mineral oil (paragraph S5.2.2.3) and did not affect the requirements for conventional DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids (paragraph S5.2.2.2) as your assumed. Therefore you appear to have no problem, and it is not necessary to consider your letter as a petition for reconsideration.; The sample label you enclosed appears to designate the contents a 'Super Heavy Duty Brake Fluid', rather than 'DOT 3 MOTOR VEHICLE BRAKE FLUID' as paragraph S5.2.2.2(e) requires. Otherwise, it is adequate compliance with paragraph S5.2.2.2.; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Chief Counsel
