TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION
TEXT: This is in response to the May 26, 1975, petition of your client, Kugelfischer Georg Schaefer & Co., for an amendment of the banding requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, Brake Hoses.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has granted the petitions of General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company to delete the banding requirement. A proceeding respecting the issuance of a notice of proposed rulemaking has been commenced. Because the amendment requested by your client is inconsistent with the deletion of the banding requirement, in the strict sense, that petition is hereby denied. You may find, however, that the change now being developed in our rulemaking proceedings will be satisfactory to your client.
