CA 95060;
Dear Mr. Greighton: This is in reply to your letter of March 18, 1974, asking which Federa requirements apply to the Maxi- Cab, pictures of which you enclose. You describe the Maxi-Cab as a fiberglass shell that fits in the back of compact pickups, and indicate that it has been designed to be used to transport children.; Based on the pictures you have furnished, we have concluded that th Maxi-Cab is a 'pickup cover', which is defined in S4 of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, 'Glazing Materials' (49 CFR 571.205), as 'a camper having a roof and sides but without a floor, designed to be mounted on and removable from the cargo area of a truck by the user.'; Since you describe the Maxi-Cab as designed to transport persons, th glazing material used in its construction must conform to Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205. No other Federal requirements administered by this agency apply to it.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
