# §1051.625. What special provisions apply to unique snowmobile designs for small-volume manufacturers?

- (a) If you are a small-volume manufacturer, we may permit you to produce up to 600 snowmobiles per year that are certified to less stringent emission standards than those in [§ 1051.103](/cfr/40/1051.103.md), as long as you meet all the conditions and requirements in this section.
- (b) **To apply for alternate standards under this section, send the Designated Officer a written request.** In your request, do two things:
  - (1) Show that the snowmobile has unique design, calibration, or operating characteristics that make it atypical and infeasible or highly impractical to meet the emission standards in [§ 1051.103](/cfr/40/1051.103.md), considering technology, cost, and other factors.
  - (2) Identify the level of compliance you can achieve, including a description of available emission-control technologies and any constraints that may prevent more effective use of these technologies.
- (c) You must give us other relevant information if we ask for it.
- (d) An authorized representative of your company must sign the request and include the statement: “All the information in this request is true and accurate, to the best of my knowledge.”.
- (e) **Send your request for this extension at least nine months before the relevant deadline.** If different deadlines apply to companies that are not small-volume manufacturers, do not send your request before the regulations in question apply to the other manufacturers.
- (f) If we approve your request, we will set alternate standards for your qualifying snowmobiles. These standards will not be above 400 g/kW-hr for CO or 150 g/kW-hr for HC.
- (g) You may produce these snowmobiles to meet the alternate standards we establish under this section as long as you continue to produce them at the same or lower emission levels.
- (h) You may not include snowmobiles you produce under this section in any averaging, banking, or trading calculations under Subpart H of this part.
- (i) You must meet all the requirements of this part, except as noted in this section.
