| Summary of Issue | OOSC Part II, Tiedown Defect Table. The Defect Classification Table for synthetic webbing has two columns, one is titled "Web Size" the other is "Out-of-Service Range". The second column title is misleading and can cause confusion which may lead to an inspector/officer declaring a vehicle OOS for a defect only violation. |
| Justification or Need | Several NAS Part B instructors have noted that students, including current inspectors read the title of the second column and believe that because the webbing defect meets the table, that is OOS. |
| Request for Action | Rename the second column "Defect Range" to eliminate any potential confusion. |
