Dear Mr. Wieman: #This responds to your letter of March 7, 1975, to Mr Francis Armstrong of this agency, concerning possible changes if Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake Hoses*. #On March 4, 1975, the NHTSA proposed a change in the definition of 'brake hose assembly' which would exclude from the standard's requirements certain assemblies made for repair of used vehicles (40 F.R. 8962, copy enclosed.) As proposed, the change would not exclude assemblies made by hose distributors. Several of the comments responding to the proposal have suggested that such distributor-made assemblies also be excluded, #When a final decision is made on this issue, it will be published in the Federal Register. #Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
