TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: I am enclosing a copy of Part 580, Odometer Disclosure Requirements, 49 CFR 580, issued under the authority of D 408 of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, which like all regulations of this and other Federal agencies is published in the Federal Register. This daily publication can be obtained at a price of $ 45.00 per year from: Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

Interpretation of the regulation to date has established that the odometer disclosure statement can be made in any format which includes the required information. Commercially printed forms, handwritten forms, and forms included in the "buyer's order form" used by dealers have all been approved. The government does not print forms but the regulation includes an example of an acceptable format.

If you have further questions, please write again.
