FROM: RICHARD B. DYSON For Lawrence R. Schneider -- NHTSA

TO: Alfa Romeo Inc.

TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of August 9, 1973, in which you inquire whether Alfa Romeo may add to the consumer information "handouts" for prospective purchasers, required by NHTSA regulations, the consumer information required by the Environmental Protection Agency.

As long as the information required by NHTSA is presented in conformity with 49 CFR Part 575, we have no objection to the inclusion within the same covers of additional information relative to EPA requirements.

The wall posters you mentioned are not required by our regulations, so you may do with them as you please.

Alfa Romeo, Inc.

August 9, 1973

Richard Dyson --

N.H.T.S.A.

Dear Mr. Dyson:

I'm enclosing a copy of our consumer information handout that is used by our dealers in their showroom. This, as you know, is given to prospects.

This same layout is also given to each dealer in poster size format (about 30" x 40") for his showroom display.

What we'd like to do, is to add to both the handout and the poster, EPA's fuel consumption table. Ms. Sue Hickey of Dr. Briceland's office has already discussed this with you, and explained their program. It was suggested that we write you asking for your authorization to modify the Part 375 format to include EPA's table.

Our sample will give you an idea of the type of approach we'd like to use. We feel that this will present to prospective buyers all of the C.I. in one source, and possibly avoid some confusion.

Sincerely,

D. Black

Technical Director

Enclosure
