TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of August 18, 1972, enclosing threesample Certification labels. Each of the three labels contains a line for inserting the gross axle weight rating for four axles. You ask whether the lines representing intermediate axles may be deleted through the use of X's for vehicles that do not have such axles.

The use of X's or similar markings to delete superfluous times is Certification labels of the type you enclose, is not prohibited by the Certification regulations. Consequently they may be used for vehicles having up to four axles.
