TITLE: Re: Request for interpretation of 49 CFR 575.101

ATTACHMT: ATTACHED TO 7/26/95 LETTER FROM JOHN WOMACK TO LANCE TUNICK (REDBOOK 2; PART 575; STD. 105; STD. 135)

TEXT: Dear Orron:

This is to request that NHTSA clarify how it interprets the requirements of 49 CFR 575.101 (disclosure of vehicle stopping distance) when a manufacturer uses newly promulgated FMVSS 135 to certify its vehicle. The question arises because 575.101(c) refe rs to FMVSS 105, but makes no mention of FMVSS 135.

Thank you for your assistance.
