§1037.725 Required information for certification.

(a) You must declare your intent to use the provisions of this subpart for each vehicle family that will be certified using the ABT program before production. You must also declare the FELs you select for the vehicle family or subfamily for each pollutant for which you are using the ABT program. Your FELs must comply with the specifications of subpart B of this part. FELs must be expressed to the same number of decimal places as the applicable standards.

(b) Your declaration must include the following information:

(1) A statement that, to the best of your belief, you will not have a negative balance of credits for any averaging set when all credits are calculated at the end of the year; or a statement that you will have a negative balance of credits for one or more averaging sets but that it is allowed under §1037.745 for NHTSA's fuel efficiency program.

(2) Calculations of projected credits (positive or negative) based on projected U.S.-directed production volumes. We may require you to include similar calculations from your other vehicle families to project your net credit balances for the model year. If you project negative credits for a family or subfamily, state the source of positive credits you expect to use to offset the negative credits.
