in the United States in any 12 consecutive month period. Incomplete 
vehicle manufacturers and intermediate manufacturers that do not intend 
to certify the vehicles in accordance with 49 CFR 567.5(f) or (g), and

manufacturers in accordance with 49 CFR 568.4 or 49 CFR 568.5, are not 
eligible for temporary exemptions under this subpart.
