Dear Mr. Emmons: This is in response to your letter of May 1, 1975, concerning Federa Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302, Flammability, and in amplification of your telephone conversation with Mr. Schwartz of my office.; As Mr. Schwartz advised you, Standard No. 302 applies to passenge cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses. Thus, the standard would apply to mattresses used in trucks. Further, it has been proposed to extend Standard No. 302 to campers and trailers other than those sold exclusively for the transportation of cargo (copy enclosed). Consequently, as you requested, I have enclosed a copy of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302, a recent amendment to that standard, and a proposed amendment which may also be of interest to you.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
