Sec. 583.10  Outside suppliers of passenger motor vehicle equipment.

    (a) For each unique type of passenger motor vehicle equipment for 
which a manufacturer or allied supplier requests information, the 
outside supplier shall provide the manufacturer/allied supplier with a 
certificate providing the following information:
    (1) The name and address of the supplier;
    (2) A description of the unique type of equipment;
    (3) The price of the equipment to the manufacturer or allied 
supplier;
    (4) A statement that the equipment has, or does not have, at least 
70 percent of its value added in the United States and Canada, 
determined under Sec. 583.6(c);
    (5) For equipment which has less than 70 percent of its value added 
in the United States and Canada,
    (i) The country of origin of the equipment, determined under 
Sec. 583.7(c); and
    (ii) The percent of its value added in the United States and Canada, 
to the nearest 5 percent, determined under Sec. 583.6(c).
    (6) For equipment that may be used in an engine or transmission, the 
country of origin of the equipment, determined under Sec. 583.8(c);
    (7) A certification for the information, pursuant to Sec. 583.13, 
and the date (at least giving the month and year) of the certification.
    (8) A single certificate may cover multiple items of equipment.
    (b) The information and certification required by paragraph (a) of 
this section shall be provided to the manufacturer or allied supplier no 
later than 45 days after receipt of the request, or the date specified 
by the manufacturer/allied supplier, whichever is later. (A manufacturer 
or allied supplier may request that the outside supplier voluntarily 
provide the information and certification at an earlier date.)
    (c)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, the 
information provided in the certificate shall be the supplier's best 
estimates of price, content, and country of origin for the unique type 
of equipment expected to be supplied during the 12 month period 
beginning on the first July 1 after receipt of the request. If the 
unique type of equipment supplied by the supplier is expected to vary 
with respect to price, content, and country of origin during that 
period, the supplier shall base its estimates on expected averages for 
these factors.
    (2) The 12 month period specified in (c)(1) may be varied in time 
and length by the manufacturer or allied supplier if it determines that 
the alteration is not likely to result in less accurate information 
being provided to consumers on the label required by this part.
    (d) For outside suppliers of engines and transmissions, the 
information and certification required by this section is in addition to 
that required by Sec. 583.12.
