TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of February 14, 1973, requesting information concerning Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 212 and replacement of motor vehicle windshields.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 212 applies only up to the point where a vehicle is first sold to a user. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration currently has no standards that apply to vehicles in use. A program for the development of standards that would apply to vehicles other than new vehicles is being considered by the Administration for implementation in the future.

Thank you for your inquiry.
