TEXT: This is to confirm your telephone conversation with Mr. Schwartz of my office, in which he advised you that the manufacturer identifier referred to in Docket 1-22, Notice 10, was the manufacturer identifier required by S4.5.1 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 115. Inasmuch as the Society of Automotive Engineers has already assigned a manufacturer identifier to Great Dane Trailer, Inc., this requirement has been met.
