TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of November 15, 1977, requesting an exemption from the Federal odometer disclosure regulations which will become effective as of January 1, 1978.

We appreciate the efforts of Minnesota to include odometer information on its certificates of title. However, we are not granting any exemptions for States which have not previously had odometer information on their titles. Since the citizens of your State have had to execute separate odometer disclosure statements in the past they will not be placed under any additional burden by this ruling. They will merely continue past practices until such time as Minnesota incorporates the revised odometer format on their titles.
