Dear Mr. Hirai: This is in reply to your letter of August 20, 1973, regarding th applicability of Standard No. 302, 'Flammability of Interior Materials,' to a paper instruction sheet your Company may wish to place on the driver's side sun visor or on some other interior component to inform occupants about the seat belt interlock system.; The applicability of Standard No. 302 depends on whether th instruction sheet is attached in such a way as to form a permanent part of the sun visor or a permanent part of some other interior component covered by the standard. If the instruction sheet is easily removable and obviously not part of any component which must meet the requirements of the standard, we would not consider it to be part of any such component and, therefore, it would not be subject to the standard.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
