         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 205--TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT NOISE EMISSION CONTROLS--Table of Contents
 
                         Subpart D--Motorcycles
 
Sec. 205.154  Consideration of alternative test procedures.

    The Administrator may approve applications from manufacturers of 
motorcycles for the approval of test procedures which differ from those 
contained in this subpart so long as the alternative procedures have 
been demonstrated to correlate with the prescribed procedure. To be 
acceptable, alternative test procedures must be such that the test 
results obtained will identify all those test motorcycles which would 
not comply with the noise emission standards prescribed in Sec. 205.152 
when tested in accordance with the measurement methodology specified in 
Appendix I. After approval by the Administrator, testing conducted by 
manufacturers using alternative test procedures will be accepted by the 
Administrator for all purposes including, but not limited to, selective 
enforcement audit testing.
