Dear Mr. Brown: This is in response to your request of August 15, 1972, for a interpretation of Standard 217, Bus Window Retention and Release.; It is true that S5.3.2(a)(3) of the standard presently requires maximum torque of 20 inch-pounds. Your discussion of this requirement as it relates to the rotary mechanism you describe has, however, called our attention to a possible problem in the application of the standard. We are presently considering rulemaking to deal with the questions raised, and will notify you of our disposition of the matter. I regret any inconvenience the resultant delay in answering your question may cause you.; Sincerely, Richard B.Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
