and make any appropriate determinations, especially for questions 

related to engine family definitions, auxiliary emission-control 

devices, deterioration factors, testing for service accumulation, and 

maintenance. Decisions made under this section are considered to be 

preliminary approval, subject to final review and approval. We will 

generally not reverse a decision where we have given you preliminary 

approval, unless we find new information supporting a different 

decision. 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.
