ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 5-29-91 from Paul Jackson Rice to Vel McCaslin (A37; Part 571.3)

TEXT:

Please explain or clarify the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 9166, 49 CFR, CH. V, SUB-PART A-571 to us.

If you have any brochure or information pertaining to this law, please sent it to me.

We have three 15 Passenger Vans which pick up students from Houston Independent Schools and bring them to our church for an After School Program. They are not painted yellow and we never put more than 15 passengers including driver. We use these vans for what capacity they were built. Are we in non-compliance of any law? Please advise.

Thank you for your help in this matter.
