Dear Mr. Brewer: #I am writing in response to the question you raise in a September 5, 1975, telephone conversation with Mark Schwimmer of this agency, concerning the labeling requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake Hoses*. #You asked whether the designation 'AI & AII' is permitted on air brake hose for which the Type I and Type II dimensions listed in the standard are identical. In a letter to the Gates Rubber Company (copy enclosed), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration interpreted S7.2 of the standard as not permitting the designation 'AI-II'. For similar reasons, the designation 'AI & II' does not comply with S7.2. The designation 'AI & AII' would comply with the standard. #Sincerely, Frank A. Berndt, ACting Chief Counsel;
