TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of June 8, 1972, to Robert L. Carter, as to whether Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 206 is applicable to a White "Freightliner" which was manufactured on or about December 1, 1970.

The White Freightliner, as illustrated in the picture you enclosed, is a truck tractor, and is classified as a "truck" under the motor vehicle safety standards. Standard No. 206 became applicable to trucks on January 1, 1972, and would not therefore apply to this truck. No other standards are applicable to the doors or door latches of this vehicle.

The standards do not apply to a vehicle after its first sale to a consumer (a used vehicle), and we exemption from the standards is necessary.
