Dear Mr. Klinger: This responds to your letter of December 10, 1980, to Joan Griffin o my staff regarding Safety Standard No. 127, *Speedometers and Odometers*. In your letter, you state that you manufacture speedometers and odometers for replica car manufacturers. You ask whether you can be exempted from the requirements of Standard No. 127 in light of the small number of speedometers and odometers that you sell.; The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has n authority to exempt manufacturers of motor vehicle equipment from compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Thus, your Speedometers and odometers must comply with the requirements of Standard No. 127 that are in effect at the time of manufacture.; We hope you find this information helpful. Please contact this offic if you have any questions.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
