Dear Mr. Calvin: This replies to your letter of June 30, 1971, and has reference t previous discussions your Mr. Gray and Mr. Wilson had with members of my engineering staff concerning lamp and reflector locations for trailers.; We have reviewed the drawings submitted and find that the locations an types of lamps and reflectors to be acceptable under the provisions of the Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. As we noted in past correspondence on this subject, a license plate light is not required by our present regulations. Again, the impression should not be given that this lamp, if not required by State regulation, must be installed on vehicles not certified to comply with Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108.; The Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety appreciates the efforts of you association in aiding motor carriers to understand and comply with the Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.; Sincerely yours,Robert A. Kaye, Director
