Dear Mr. Shrake: This is in reply to your letter of April 8, 1971, requesting confirmation of your understanding as to two sections of Standard No. 208, Occupant Crash Protection.; You are correct in reading section S4.3 to provide options for truck and multipurpose passenger vehicles with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less.; You are also correct in reading S4.2.2 and S4.2.3 to mea 'chassis-mount camper' when the term 'vehicles carrying chassis- mount campers' is used.; The petitions filed by RVI requesting amendments to Standards No. 20 and 210 are under active consideration and you should expect to receive an answer in the very near future.; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Acting Chief Counsel
