TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: As requested in your letter of March 27, enclosed is a copy of the Tire Identification and Record Keeping Regulation. As you will note the regulation is silent as to the question of payment of a fee for registering the tires. I do not think it would be illegal to charge a 50 cent fee for registering tires, however, we would certainly discourage the practice.

Sir:

I request a copy of "The Tire Registration Law". Retail outlet stores in this area are charging 50~ per each Recapped Tire sold as a registration fee. I question their Legal Grounds on this matter and need a copy of the law to solidify my position.

Sincerely,

D. Juve Q. A. Mgr.
