TITLE: Request for ruling submitted on behalf of Cantab Motors

ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 7-11-90 to Lawrence A. Beyer from Paul J. Rice; (A35; Part 591) TEXT:

This letter requests official notification by DOT that Cantab Motors is considered to be a manufacturer by your agency. We have filed the required documents several months ago.

As you may recall, Cantab Motors imports Morgan built non-functional vehicles as parts, which do not have a functional fuel delivery or storage system. Cantab manufactures a propane system for these and completes the compliance with all applicable FMVSS on each vehicle.

Please be reminded that ISIS Motors received such an opinion letter from your office on July 10, 1986 (Addressed to their counsel B. Lew). We would appreciate it if we could receive a similar letter.

Please process the request for exemption as soon as possible, since my client cannot remain in business without having vehicles to sell.
