Standard Number: 1928.51
October 22, 1981
Mr. William E. Lawler

Carmel, Indiana 46032
Dear Mr. Lawler:
Thank you for your letter of October 5, 1981, requesting a clarification of 29 CFR 1928.51, Roll-over Protective Structures (ROPS) for tractors used in agricultural operations.
It was not the intent of 29 CFR 1928.51(b)(2)(ii)(B) to make the seat belt load requirement equal to the seat belt anchorage load requirement as mentioned in your letter. 29 CFR 1928.51(b)(2)(ii) requires each seat belt to meet the requirements set forth in Society of Automotive Engineers Standard SAE J4C, 1965 Motor Vehicle Seat Belt Assemblies, except as noted in Subparagraphs A, B and C.
If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to call or write.
Sincerely,
Bruce Hillenbrand
Deputy Director,
Federal Compliance and State Programs
