Sec.  1051.345  What production-line testing records must I send to EPA?



    Do all the following things unless we ask you to send us less 

information:

    (a) Within 30 calendar days of the end of each test period, send us 

a report with the following information:

engines and state its location.

    (2) State the total U.S.-directed production volume and number of

    (3) Describe how you randomly selected vehicles or engines.

    (4) Describe your test vehicles or engines, including the engine 

family's identification and the vehicle's model year, build date, model 

number, identification number, and number of hours of operation before 

testing for each test vehicle or engine.

    (5) Identify how you accumulated hours of operation on the vehicles 

or engines and describe the procedure and schedule you used.

    (6) Provide the test number; the date, time and duration of testing; 

test procedure; initial test results before and after rounding; final 

test results; and final deteriorated test results for all tests. Provide 

the emission results for all measured pollutants. Include information 

for both valid and invalid tests and the reason for any invalidation.

    (7) Describe completely and justify any nonroutine adjustment, 

modification, repair, preparation, maintenance, or test for the test 

vehicle or engine if you did not report it separately under this 

subpart. Include the results of any emission measurements, regardless of 

the procedure or type of vehicle.

    (8) Provide the CumSum analysis required in Sec.  1051.315 for each 

engine family.

    (9) Report on each failed vehicle or engine as described in Sec.  

1051.320.

    (10) State the date the test period ended for each engine family.

    (b) We may ask you to add information to your written report, so we 

can determine whether your new vehicles conform with the requirements of 

this subpart.

    (c) An authorized representative of your company must sign the 

following statement:



    We submit this report under Sections 208 and 213 of the Clean Air 

Act. Our production-line testing conformed completely with the 

requirements of 40 CFR part 1051. We have not changed production 

processes or quality-control procedures for the engine family in a way 

that might affect the emission control from production vehicles (or 

engines). All the information in this report is true and accurate, to 

the best of my knowledge. I know of the penalties for violating the 

Clean Air Act and the regulations. (Authorized Company Representative)



    (d) Send electronic reports of production-line testing to the 

Designated Compliance Officer using an approved information format. If 

you want to use a different format, send us a written request with 

justification for a waiver.

    (e) We will send copies of your reports to anyone from the public 

who asks for them. See Sec.  1051.815 for information on how we treat 

information you consider confidential.
