Dear Mr. Kato:#This is in reply to your letter of April 23, 1974 asking for an interpretation of Standard No. 101, as proposed in the *Federal Register* on September 27, 1973. You reference that portion of Paragraph S4.3.3 which states 'If illumination of controls and displays not listed in Paragraph S4.1 is provided, its intensity shall be variable in a manner that complies with this paragraph'.#The basic requirement of S4.3.3 is that 'A control shall be provided to adjust the intensity of control and display illumination. . . .' We interpret the basic requirement as applying to *all* control and display illumination, not just illumination of the minimum number of controls and displays specified in Tables I and II. Thus if the manufacturer chooses to provide illumination for *any* control or display, even those not related to safety such as the radio or clock, its intensity shall be variable in accordance with Paragraph S4.3.3.#Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
