Dear Mr. Lewis: This is in reply to your letter of March 25, 1974, asking whether consistently with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 117, maximum permissible load may be labeled in two lines, viz.: MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE LOAD XXXXXXXX LBS.; You ask further whether there is a maximum height requirement for th lettering used in the label.; Standard No. 117 does not specify labeling format, and the two-lin format you submit conforms to the standard. Paragraphs S6.3.1 and S6.3.2 of Standard No. 117 require all safety labeling, both permanent and affixed, to be at least 0.078 inches in height. No other requirements regarding labeling size are specified.; Sincerely, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
