Sec. 583.12  Suppliers of engines and transmissions.

    (a) For each engine or transmission for which a manufacturer or 
allied supplier requests information, the supplier of such engine or 
transmission shall provide the manufacturer or allied supplier with a 
certificate providing the following information:
    (1) The name and address of the supplier;
    (2) A description of the engine or transmission;
    (3) The country of origin of the engine or transmission, determined 
under Sec. 583.8;
    (4) A certification for the information, pursuant to Sec. 583.13, 
and the date (at least giving the month and year) of the certification.
    (b) The information provided in the certificate shall be the 
supplier's best estimate of country of origin for the unique type of 
engine or transmission. If the unique type of equipment used in the 
engine or transmission is expected to vary with respect to price, 
content, and country of origin during that period, the supplier shall 
base its country of origin determination on expected averages for these 
factors.
    (c) The information and certification required by paragraph (a) of 
this section shall be provided by outside suppliers 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.)
    (d) In the event that, during a model year, a supplier of engines or 
transmissions produces an engine of a new displacement or transmission 
of a new type or produces the same engine displacement or transmission 
in a different plant, the supplier shall notify the manufacturer of the 
origin of the new engine or transmission prior to shipment of the first 
engine or transmission that will be installed in a passenger motor 
vehicle intended for public sale.
    (e) A single certificate may cover multiple engines or 
transmissions. If a certificate provided in advance of the delivery of 
an engine or transmission becomes inaccurate because of changed 
circumstances, a corrected certificate shall be provided no later than 
the time of delivery of the engine or transmission.
    (f) For suppliers of engines and transmissions, the information and 
certification required by this section is in addition to that required 
by Secs. 583.10 and 583.11.
