TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of November 30, 1972, asking if you have to maintain a record of the tires you sell and register or is it sufficient to mail the requested information to the tire manufacturer or the tire manufacturer's designee.

Under Part 574.8 of the Tire Identification and Record Keeping regulation (49 CFR Part 574) a tire dealer is recorded to submit the required information to the tire manufacturer or his designee but is not required to keep a separate record of the tires sold.
