Dear Mr. Taft: This is in reply to your letter of December 20, 1974, to Edwar Wallace, asking that we republish Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 117 as one complete document. You point out that there have been several amendments to Standard No. 117, which makes a comprehensive reading of the standard difficult. You ask also that we incorporate directly in any republication the provisions of Standard No. 109 that are presently incorporated by reference, and you point out some errors in the text of the standard.; The complete standard should be republished as a single unit in th forthcoming edition of the *Code of Federal Regulations*, Title 49, Parts 200-999. We expect republication of this volume in the very near future. The errors you mention, i.e., that paragraphs S6.2 and S6.3.1(f) have been superseded and are therefore superfluous, are inconsequential in our view. However, we will defer any decision regarding your request until republication of the complete standard in the *Code of Federal Regulations*. If that version of the standard is not substantially correct in all respects, we will take steps to republish a corrected version.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Acting Chief Counsel
