Dear Mr. King: I regret the delay in responding to your letter of April 23, in whic you provided certain certification information and details on your wheeled spreaders.; The wheeled spreaders attached to a towing vehicle are considered moto vehicles under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, and have been categorized as 'trailers'. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 is currently the only standard applicable to trailers, specifically those 80 inches and more in overall width.; This Standard will also apply to trailers of lesser width manufacture after December 31, 1968.; Accordingly Meyer Products is required to certify compliance i accordance with section 114 of the Act. I enclose for your guidance copies of the Act, Federal Standard No. 108, and the certification Notice currently in effect.; Sincerely, Robert M. O'Mahoney, Assistant Chief Counsel for Regulations
