Widerman, Director This Division, in cooperation with national organizations and the Federal government, develops safety standards for vehicles and re- lated safety equipment, conducts testing and approval of vehicle equipment, and promulgates rules and regulations for safe vehicle operation, inspection of vehicles and equipment in compliance with the safety and equipment provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code.

This Division also licenses and regulates auto wreckers and scrap processors in the State, and since June 1, 1973, licenses and regulates all manufacturers of passenger vehicles.

Since then, the Administration has opened additional regional offices in Baltimore City, Cumberland, Hagerstown, Rockville, Forest- ville, College Park, and Waldorf and in Cecil County.
