Therefore, we uphold the agency s interpretation. and insert in lieu thereof In any event, even if Mexico-domiciled trucks transporting goods between the United States and Mexico are introduce[d] . . . in interstate commerce, the safety decal requirement still does not apply to those trucks because the safety decal requirement does not apply to the introduction or delivery for introduction in interstate commerce of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment after the first purchase of the vehicle or equipment in good faith other than for resale. 49 U.S.C. ยง 30112(b)(1). The Mexico-domiciled trucks at issue in this case are driven into the United States to transport goods. The trucks themselves are not being resold. For that reason as well, the safety decal requirement simply does not apply to these trucks. Per Curiam FOR THE COURT: Mark J. Langer, Clerk BY: /s/ Jennifer M. Clark Deputy Clerk
