TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in further reply to your request made to the Regional Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concerning the applicability of the Tire Identification and Record Keeping regulation (49 CFR Part 57) to tires on Cushman Golf Carts.

As we indicated in our letter of June 23, golf carts are not considered to be motor vehicles within the meaning of the regulation or the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Therefore, the regulation is not applicable to tires sold with or for golf carts.
