Dear Mr. Ryan: This responds to your April 27, 1978, letter asking whether a sampl certification label that you submitted complies with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Part 567, *Certification*.; Military vehicles are exempted from compliance with Federal safet standards. Therefore, the application of the safety standards to these vehicles is a matter of contract between a manufacturer and the military. Since the NHTSA does not mandate Federal safety standards for these vehicles, it is not necessary to put certification labels on them. If you choose to include a label with a vehicle, the label would not be required to comply with any Federal regulations.; Sincerely, Joseph J. Levin, Jr., Chief Counsel
