Dear Mr. White: This is to confirm your conversation with Mr. Schmeltzer of this offic in which he informed you that the Regrooved Tire regulation (49 CFR Part 569) does not prohibit the use of branding to meet its labeling requirements. the language in section 569.9 which requires the word 'regroovable' to be 'molded into or onto' tires designed for regrooving was intended to include any method, such as branding, that would leave the required information sunk into or raised upon the tire surface.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
