TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your cooperation and response to the Federal Highway Administration request regarding the "Certification Requirements."

The information you have provided will be very useful to us; however, in accordance with Section 112 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, it would be appreciated if you would provide us with information as to where your tag will be located on your vehicles and also the serial identification system as requested in order that vehicles manufactured (complete) after January 1, 1968, can be identified.

In regard to your question as to whether there is an exception to the law regarding the placement of the three light markers at the rear of your vehicle because of the limited space on your rear frame, the answer is there is no exception and adherence is required. One possible solution to your problem might be to mount an additional bracket to mount the cluster of lights. This is only a suggestion and you may be able to arrive at a more practical arrangement.

Trusting this information answers your questions.
