ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 5/14/92 (est.) from Paul J. Rice to John Faist (A39; Part 571)

TEXT:

I would appreciate any information that you are able to provide in reference to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, parts 554-557, 565-568, 571, 573, 576, 577, and 579. In particular, I am interested in how these regulations pertain to a municipal government agency that transfers, modifies and/or fabricates custom vehicle bodies for use by its own departments. What procedures/steps is such an agency responsible for following, if any, in the customization of truck bodies.

Please send any information you may have on this subject to:

John Faist DAS Fleet Services Division 618 2nd Avenue, 12th Floor Seattle, WA 98104

Thank you.
