          Subpart A_Applicability and Miscellaneous Provisions
 
Sec. 1068.20  May EPA enter my facilities for inspections?

    (a) We may inspect your engines, testing, manufacturing processes, 
engine storage facilities (including port facilities for imported 
engines or other relevant facilities), or records, as authorized by the 
Act, to enforce the provisions of this chapter. Inspectors will have 
authorizing credentials and will limit inspections to reasonable times--
usually, normal operating hours.
    (b) If we come to inspect, we may or may not have a warrant or court 
order.
    (1) If we do not have a warrant or court order, you may deny us 
entry.
    (2) If we have a warrant or court order, you must allow us to enter 
the facility and carry out the activities it describes.
    (c) We may seek a warrant or court order authorizing an inspection 
described in this section, whether or not we first tried to get your 
permission to inspect.
    (d) We may select any facility to do any of the following:
    (1) Inspect and monitor any aspect of engine manufacturing, 
assembly, storage, or other procedures, and any facilities where you do 
them.
    (2) Inspect and monitor any aspect of engine test procedures or 
test-related activities, including test engine selection, preparation, 
service accumulation, emission duty cycles, and maintenance and 
verification of your test equipment's calibration.
    (3) Inspect and copy records or documents related to assembling, 
storing, selecting, and testing an engine.
    (4) Inspect and photograph any part or aspect of engines and 
components you use for assembly.
    (e) You must give us reasonable help without charge during an 
inspection authorized by the Act. For example, you may need to help us 
arrange an inspection with the facility's managers, including clerical 
support, copying, and translation. You may also need to show us how the 
facility operates and answer other questions. If we ask in writing to 
see a particular employee at the inspection, you must ensure that he or

she is present (legal counsel may accompany the employee).
    (f) If you have facilities in other countries, we expect you to 
locate them in places where local law does not keep us from inspecting 
as described in this section. We will not try to inspect if we learn 
that local law prohibits it, but we may suspend your certificate if we 
are not allowed to inspect.
