Sec.  205.154  Consideration of alternative test procedures.



    The Administrator may approve applications from manufacturers of 

motorcycles for the approval of test procedures which differ from those 

contained in this subpart so long as the alternative procedures have 

been demonstrated to correlate with the prescribed procedure. To be 

acceptable, alternative test procedures must be such that the test 

results obtained will identify all those test motorcycles which would 

not comply with the noise emission standards prescribed in Sec.  205.152 

when tested in accordance with the measurement methodology specified in 

Appendix I. After approval by the Administrator, testing conducted by 

manufacturers using alternative test procedures will be accepted by the 

Administrator for all purposes including, but not limited to, selective 

enforcement audit testing.
