TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of August 12 asking for a clarification of the effect of the recent firefighting vehicle amendment (36 F.R. 13926) on Federal standards published prior to September 1, 1971 but effective after that date. Specifically you ask whether Standard No. 302 Flammability of Interior Materials, published on January 8, 1971 applies to firefighting vehicles on September 1, 1972, or September 1, 1974.

The firefighting vehicle amendment is effective September 1, 1971 and has no effect upon standards or amendments to standards issued before that date. Thus Standard No. 302 applies to firefighting vehicles as of September 1, 1972.

Sincerely,
