TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of March 19, 1970, with which you submitted for our examination a sample format for consumer information produced by a computer.

The sample that you submitted does deviate from the requirements of the consumer information regulations in that the required warnings and explanations are placed on a sheet that is separate from the numerical data. The regulations generally require that the information be presented in the form illustrated by the published figures, with the explanatory matter in proximity to the numerical data. I believe that computer printing is flexible enough to allow you to accomplish this.
