TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of October 15, 1971, to Mr. Lewis Owen of this Office concerning the coating of Lexan lenses.

Plastic lenses used in the required lamps are required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 to meet SAE J576, which specifies no loss of surface luster and no surface deterioration. This Agency does not have the authority to "waive" any requirements of a Federal motor vehicle safety standard.

If you believe that motor vehicle safety does not demand requirements of this severity, you may submit a petition asking for an appropriate amendment of Standard No. 108.
