TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of July 10, 1975, in which you request a copy of the proposed rule dealing with tilt cab vehicle latch systems (Docket No. 69-27), which was referred to this office by the Docket Section.

Notice 1 of Docket 69-27 was published as an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on October 22, 1969 (34 FR 17115). On January 25, 1972, a notice was published suspending rulemaking on 69-27 and providing that no regulation would be issued without additional notice and opportunity for comment (37 FR 1120). There has been no further action taken on tilt cab vehicle latch systems since that date.

If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know.

SINCERELY,

July 10, 1975

Docket Section Federal Highway Administration

Re: 49 CFR Part 371; Docket No. 69-27 Tilt Cab Vehicle Latch Systems; Trucks

In a recent publication referring to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the notation appeared advising that on the date of August 1, 1971, proposed issue date of rules was to be effective.

As I commented for our company on Notice 1 of this document January 9, 1970, we have been anticipating a copy of the proposed rule.

This copy has not been received. Please advise if the date has been set back or if this document has been published, please forward a copy.
