TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: In answer to your letter of December 15 I am enclosing a copy of the regulations published January 10 governing the importation of motor vehicles subject to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards.

You have advised us that Rolls-Royce prefers to affix the certification required by section 114 of P.L. 89-563 during manufacture of its passenger cars, and to install seat belts after importation of such cars into the United States. The regulations (19 C.F.R. 12.80(b)(iv) will allow Rolls-Royce to do so providing the informational label it prescribes is affixed to the windshield of these cars during shipment.

I hope this is satisfactory to your client.
