Sec.  1068.420  How do I know when my engine family fails an SEA?



    (a) A failed engine is one whose final deteriorated test results 

exceed an applicable emission standard for any regulated pollutant.

    (b) Continue testing engines until you reach a pass decision for all 

pollutants or a fail decision for one pollutant.

    (c) You reach a pass decision for the SEA requirements when the 

number of failed engines is less than or equal to the pass decision 

number in Appendix A to this subpart for the total number of engines 

tested. You reach a fail decision for the SEA requirements when the 

number of failed engines is greater than or equal to the fail decision 

number in Appendix A to this subpart for the total number of engines you 

test. An acceptable quality level of 40 percent is the basis for the 

pass or fail decision.

    (d) Consider test results in the same order as the engine testing 

sequence.

    (e) If you reach a pass decision for one pollutant, but need to 

continue testing for another pollutant, we will disregard these later 

test results for the pollutant with the pass decision.

    (f) Appendix A to this subpart lists multiple sampling plans. Use 

the sampling plan for the projected sales volume you reported in your 

application for the audited engine family.

    (g) We may choose to stop testing after any number of tests.

    (h) If we test some of your engines in addition to your own testing, 

we may decide not to include your test results as official data for 

those engines if there is substantial disagreement between your testing 

and our testing. We will reinstate your data as valid if you show us 

that we made an error and your data are correct.

    (i) If we rely on our test data instead of yours, we will notify you 

in writing of our decision and the reasons we believe your facility is 

not appropriate for doing the tests we require under this subpart. You 

may request in writing that we consider your test results from the same 

facility for future testing if you show us that you have made changes to 

resolve the problem.
