TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Dr. Gregory has asked me to reply to your letter of August 28, 1973, in which you request our endorsement of new labels General Motors intends to use to fulfill its responsibilities under part 567 of Title 49 of the Gode of Federal Regulations.

The wording on the label meets the requirements of paragraph 567.4(g). The color of the paint under the label "window" would determine conformity with the contrasting color requirements in paragraph 567.4(f)

It would appear that the material would ". . . be permanently affixed . . ." if it ". . . is tightly bonded to the surface of the vehicle panel . . . ." However, it has not been the practice of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to endorse label materials.

Thank you for your continuing cooperation.
