          Subpart B_Emission Standards and Related Requirements
 
Sec.  1051.137  What are the consumer labeling requirements?

    Label every vehicle certified under this part with a removable hang-
tag showing its emission characteristics relative to other models. The 
label should be attached securely to the vehicle before it is offered 
for sale in such a manner that it would not be accidentally removed 
prior to sale. Use the applicable equations of this section to determine 
the normalized emission rate (NER) from the FEL for your vehicle. If the 
vehicle is certified without using the averaging provisions of subpart 
H, use the final deteriorated emission level. Round the resulting 
normalized emission rate for your vehicle to one decimal place. If the 
calculated NER value is less than zero, consider NER to be zero for that 
vehicle. We may specify a standardized format for labels. At a minimum, 
the tag should include: the manufacturer's name, vehicle model name, 
engine description (500 cc two-stroke with DFI), the NER, and a brief 
explanation of the scale (for example, note that 0 is the cleanest and 
10 is the least clean).
    (a) For snowmobiles, use the following equation:

NER = 16.61 x log (2.667 x HC + CO)-38.22

Where:

HC and CO are the cycle-weighted FELs (or emission rates) for 
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in g/kW-hr.

    (b) For off-highway motorcycles, use the following equations:
    (1) For off-highway motorcycles certified to the standards in Sec.  
1051.105, use one of the equations specified below.
    (i) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions less than or 
equal to 2.0 g/km, use the following equation:

NER = 2.500 x (HC+NOX)

Where:

HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission 
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.

    (ii) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions greater than 
2.0 g/km, use the following equation:

NER = 5.000 x log(HC+NOX)+ 3.495

Where:

HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission 
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.

    (2) For off-highway motorcycles certified to the standards in Sec.  
1051.615(b), use the following equation:

NER = 8.782 x log(HC+NOX) -5.598

Where:

HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission 
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/kW-hr.

    (c) For ATVs, use the following equations:
    (1) For ATVs certified to the standards in Sec.  1051.107, use one 
of the equations specified below.
    (i) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions less than or 
equal to 1.5 g/km, use the following equation:

NER = 3.333 x (HC+NOX)

Where:

HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission 
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.

    (ii) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions greater than 
1.5 g/km, use the following equation:

NER = 4.444 x log(HC+NOX)+4.217

Where:

HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission 
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.

    (2) For ATVs certified to the standards in Sec.  1051.615(a), use 
the following equation:


[[Page 627]]


NER = 8.782 x log(HC + NOX) -7.277

Where:

HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission 
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/kW-hr.
