N40-30 (ZTV) OCT 3 1974

Mr. Guy Malleret Director General Officine Alfieri Maserati S.p.A. Modena Italy

Dear Mr. Malleret:

This is in reply to your letter of September 13, 1974 expressing support for the petition by Citroen for rulemaking to amend Standard No. 105-75.

We have responded to Citroen by letter of September 19, 1973 asking for additional technical information and available accident statistics. Since certain models of Maserati vehicles are equipped with the Citroen full power braking system and NHTSA's ultimate decision will affect you. I enclose a copy of our letter with the thought that you may wish to provide us with Maserati's answer to these questions.

Yours truly,

Richard B. Dyson Acting Chief Counsel
