TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of January 18, 1972, in which you enclosed a copy of a label you propose to use to fulfill your obligation under part 567 of Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The nomenclature does not meet the regulation. Paragraph 567.4(g) states "The label shall contain the following statements, . . ., in the order shown" (emphasis added). Your label does not identify (Illegible Words) from front to rear as specified in paragraph 567.4(g)(h)

An amendment to Part 567 was published in the Federal Register on December 10, 1971 (36 F.R.2. 23571) that allows manufacturers, of their option, to list more than one act of values for CVVR and (Illegible Word). However, the amendment contains specific language to be used in those circumstances.

We understand that your purpose is to supply only one label type to your various plants for installation on several models. The Certification regulations require each vehicle to be labeled with specific information applicable to that vehicle. We do not consider (Illegible Line) presented, to be consistent with (Illegible Word) requirements.
