Dear Mr. Boling: #This is to confirm the interpretation of the labelin requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake Hoses*, which I gave in a telephone conversation on February 27, 1975. #S5.2.4 of the standard requires each brake hose assembly to be labeled with a band. The band must include, among other information, 'a designation that identifies the manufacturer of the hose assembly...' A brake hose distributer who manufactures assemblies at multiple locations is not required to assign a designation to each location. A single designation will suffice. #Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
