TO: Elgin Sweeper Company

TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of April 17 requesting either confirmation of your opinion that it was "not the intent of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to apply to" the three wheeled motor street sweeper manufactured by Elgin, or, in the alternative, consideration by the Federal Highway Administration of the establishment of a separate classification for these vehicles.

Three wheeled motor street sweepers are "motor vehicles" within the meaning of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966. However, they do not fall into any of the vehicle types defined thus far, to which standards are applicable, and consequently there are no standards applicable to it at this time.
