Dear Mr. Pieratt: In your letter of September 8, 1971, you ask whether final-stag manufacturers may use the new vehicle certification label required as of January 1, 1972, before that date.; Your members may use the new label before January 1, 1972. Since th two vehicle weight ratings are not required until that date, there is no legal objection either to leaving the appropriate space blank, or to typing the phrase 'NOT REQUIRED UNTIL 1/1/72' in the space provided.; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Chief Counsel
