    (2) Number of revolutions of the positive displacement pump 
accumulated while test is in progress and exhaust samples are being 
collected.
    (3) Humidity of dilution air.
    (4) Manufacturer, model, type and serial number.

required to be weighed pursuant to a test order.
    (vii) A complete record of all emission tests performed pursuant to 
this subpart (except tests performed by EPA directly) including all 
individual worksheets and/or other documentation relating to each test, 
or exact copies thereof.
