Dear Mr. Kennebeck: This responds to Volkswagen's March 9, 1977, petition fo reconsideration of Standard No. 120, *Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars*.; Procedures for processing petitions for reconsideration are contains i the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Part 553. Part 553.35(c) states that '[t]he Administrator does not consider repetitious petitions.' Your March 9 petitions raises two issues that were also discussed in your February 20, 1976, petition for reconsideration. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) carefully considered those issues in our February 7, 1977 (42 FR 7140) response to petitions for reconsideration. Since the Agency has considered these issues previously, the NHTSA declines to consider them again as you suggest.; Sincerely, Robert L. Carter, Associate Administrator, Motor Vehicl Programs;
