Dear Mr. Dando: Thank you for your letter of October 4, 1968, in which you inquire about the acceptability of affixing a 'paper type nameplate' to the cab door glass of partially completed chassis-cab trucks.; A assume that you are referring to the requirement for certification o conformity with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966. The Federal Highway Administration has recently issued a notice of proposed certification regulations, a copy of which is enclosed. While of course this proposal may be changed before it is issued as a final rule, it will give you an indication of the specific requirements that will probably be established within the next few months.; With specific reference to your questions, the proposed regulations d specify in S. 275.5 that a label be affixed to a window of a chassis-cab. Not material is specified, so paper or similar materials will be satisfactory under this proposal. You will note that the proposed requirements differs in several respects from the drawing that you submitted with your letter. As least twelve-point type is require, which has capital letters of approximately 1/8 inch, the place of manufacture must be specified, and the statement restricting use most conform substantially with item (c) of that section.; We are pleased to be of assistance. Sincerely, Robert M. O'Mahoney, Assistant Chief Counsel fo Regulations.;
