TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of June 15, 1971, inquiring if a mobile concrete batch plant is considered a motor vehicle for purposes of the Tire Identification and Record Keeping Regulation (49 CFR 574).

The Erie Strayer's Mobile Combo-100 illustrated in your enclosed brochure is considered a motor vehicle. Enclosed is a letter dated April 20, 1970, signed by Secretary Volpe which sets forth the reasoning behind this determination.

As a motor vehicle manufacturer, you are required under Part 574, to maintain records of the name and address of the first purchaser for purposes other than resale of your vehicle along with a record of the tires shipped on or in your vehicles.

If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to write.

ENC.
