Dear Mr. Johnson: This responds to your April 22, 1987, letter asking about the legalit of transporting people in fifth wheel trailers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is responsible for promulgating safety standards for the manufacture and sale of new motor vehicles. The use of a motor vehicle, such as a trailer, is a matter over which we have no jurisdiction.; Because the legality of carrying people in trailers might be governe by State law, we suggest you contact State officials with your questions. Additionally, questions you might have about the operation of interstate motor carriers should be directed to Mr. Tom Kozlowski of the Office of Motor Carrier Standards (Room 3403), Federal Highway Administration, at this address.; Sincerely, Erika Z. Jones, Chief Counsel
