Sec.  1039.210  May I get preliminary approval before I complete my 

application?



    If you send us information before you finish the application, we 

will review it and make any appropriate determinations, especially for 

questions related to engine family definitions, auxiliary emission-

control devices, deterioration factors, testing for service 

accumulation, maintenance, and NTE deficiencies and carve-outs. 

Decisions made under this section are considered to be preliminary 

approval, subject to final review and approval. If you request 

preliminary approval related to the upcoming model year or the model 

year after that, we will make best-efforts to make the appropriate 

determinations as soon as practicable. We will generally not provide 

preliminary approval related to a future model year more than two years 

ahead of time.
