TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of February 4 asking for copies of regulations applicable to a "motor home" you wish to manufacture.

I enclose a copy of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, the basic statute setting forth your obligations as a manufacturer, and the authority for all applicable regulations. A publication titled "Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard and Other Regulations" is available from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402. The price of $ 8.00 includes a subscription of up to one year of supplements. The Federal standards and regulations also appear in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Title 19 for the important regulations), generally available at law libraries. Amendments and proposals are published, when issued, in the Federal Register.

If you have any questions after obtaining and receiving these materials I will be happy to answer them for you. A "motor home" for your information, is defined as a "multipurpose passenger vehicle" under the Federal standards.
