TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of January 18, 1969, to Dr. William Haddon, Jr., requesting information on Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) applicable to ambulances.

If the ambulance is built on a passenger car chassis, all of the FMVSS applicable to passenger cars would apply. However, if the ambulance is built on a truck chassis, the FMVSS applicable to multi-purpose passenger vehicles would apply. There have been no special exceptions granted for ambulances.

Enclosed for your information and guidance are copies of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 and the FMVSS established thereunder.
