Dear Mr. Oppenheimer:#This responds to Girling's February 22, 1974 petition for abbreviated labeling on short vacuum hose in cases where the 6-inch interval required by s%.2.2 of Standard 106, *Brake hoses*, makes complete labeling impossible.#The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has modified the labeling requirement of February 26, 1974 (39 FR 7425) by specifying an interval of 'not more than 6 inches' to permit the manufacture and labeling of short hose length without waste. Lettering may be any width so long as it is at least one-eighth of an inch high. your petition, Therefore, is denied as unnecessary.#Sincerely,Robert L. Carter,Associate Administrator,Motor Vehicle Programs;
