§ 1048.215 - What happens after I complete my application?

(a) If any of the information in your application changes after you submit it, amend it as described in § 1048.225.

(b) We may deny your application (that is, determine that we cannot approve it without revision) if the engine family does not meet the requirements of this part or the Act. For example:

(1) If you inappropriately use the provisions of § 1048.230(c) or (d) to define a broader or narrower engine family, we will require you to redefine your engine family.

(2) If we determine you did not appropriately select the useful life under § 1048.101(g), we will require you to lengthen it.

(3) If we determine you did not appropriately select deterioration factors under § 1048.240(c), we will require you to revise them.

(4) If your diagnostic system is inadequate for detecting significant malfunctions in emission-control systems, as described in § 1048.110(b), we will require you to make the system more effective.

(5) If your diagnostic system inappropriately disregards trouble codes under certain conditions, as described in § 1048.110(f), we will require you to change the system to operate under broader conditions.

(6) If your proposed emission control information label is inconsistent with § 1048.135, we will require you to change it (and tell you how, if possible).

(7) If you require or recommend maintenance and use instructions inconsistent with § 1048.125, we will require you to change them.

(8) If we find any other problem with your application, we will tell you what the problem is and what needs to be corrected.

(c) If we determine your application is complete and shows that the engine family meets all the requirements of this part and the Act, we will issue a certificate of conformity for your engine family for that model year. If we deny the application, we will explain why in writing. You may then ask us to hold a hearing to reconsider our decision (see § 1048.820).
