Section 240.183  Compliance Determination

Compliance shall be determined based upon the measurement of exhaust emissions using the on-road remote sensing test procedures adopted by the Agency.  If, during the course of on-road inspections, a vehicle is found to exceed the on-road remote sensing emission standards specified in Section 240.182 for the model year and type of vehicle, the Agency shall send a notice to the vehicle owner of the violation, which notice will include the time and location of the reading.  The notice of a second on-road remote sensing exceedence shall, in addition to the information contained in the first notice, indicate that the vehicle has been reassigned and is subject to an out-of-cycle follow-up inspection at an official inspection station.  In no case shall the Agency send a notice of an on-road exceedence to the owner of a vehicle that was found to exceed the on-road remote sensing emission standards if the vehicle is registered outside the affected counties.
