TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: In response to your letter of May 12, 1967, regarding the classification of your Blue Bird Wanderlodge, I have enclosed a copy of the Initial Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. On page 2408 of this document, "Bus" is defined as a motor vehicle with motive power, except a trailer, designed for carrying more than 10 persons. With the assumption that your Wanderlodge does have seating capacity for more than 10 people, it would therefore be classified as a bus.

Thank you for your interest in the motor vehicle safety program of this Bureau.
