Dear Mr. Schoen: This is in response to your request for approval of Montana's Odomete Disclosure Statement as it presently appears of (sic) the State Certificate of Title.; The Montana title differs from the Federal requirements as set forth i 49 CFR Part 580 in that it does not contain a statement that the odometer reading reflects the amount of mileage over 99,999 miles. Without this item, the Montana form cannot be used in lieu of a separate Federal form. It would appear that you could provide a separate 'check box' directly under the actual odometer mileage statement on your present form.; If this statement is included, the National Highway Traffic Safet Administration will approve the Montana title.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
