TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of April 19, 1971 and to confirm that if you sell buses to a bus fleet owner, with tires, the name and address of the fleet owner and some means which you can identify the type of tires sold with the bus would be a sufficient record.

In the case where the bus owner purchased the tires from someone other than you, it is not your responsibility to maintain the records, but rather the responsibility of the person selling the tires to the bus fleet owner.
