[Docket No. NHTSA-2004-18512]


Highway Safety Programs; Model Specifications for Devices To 
Measure Breath Alcohol

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice amends the Conforming Products List for 
instruments that conform to the Model Specifications for Evidential 
Breath Testing Devices (62 FR 62091).

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 14, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. James F. Frank, Office of Research 
and Technology, Behavioral Research Division (NTI-131), National 
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20590; Telephone: (202) 366-5593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 5, 1973, the National Highway 
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published the Standards for 
Devices to Measure Breath Alcohol (38 FR 30459). A Qualified Products 
List of Evidential Breath Measurement Devices comprised of instruments 
that met this standard was first issued on November 21, 1974 (39 FR 
41399).
    On December 14, 1984 (49 FR 48854), NHTSA converted this standard 
to Model Specifications for Evidential Breath Testing Devices, and 
published a Conforming Products List (CPL) of instruments that were 
found to conform to the Model Specifications as Appendix D to that 
notice (49 FR 48864).
    On September 17, 1993, NHTSA published a notice (58 FR 48705) to 
amend the Model Specifications. The notice changed the alcohol 
concentration levels at which instruments are evaluated, from 0.000, 
0.050, 0.101, and 0.151 BAC, to 0.000, 0.020, 0.040, 0.080, and 0.160 
BAC; added a test for the presence of acetone; and expanded the 
definition of alcohol to include other low molecular weight alcohols 
including methyl or isopropyl. On October 3, 2002, the most recent 
amendment to the Conforming Products List (CPL) was published (67 FR 
62091), identifying those instruments found to conform with the Model 
Specifications.
    Since the last publication of the CPL, two (2) instruments have 
been evaluated and found to meet the model specifications, as amended 
on September 17, 1993, for mobile and non-mobile use. In alphabetical 
order by company, they are: (1) The Alcotest 6510 manufactured by 
Draeger Safety, Inc., Durango, CO. This is a hand held device intended 
for use in stationary or roadside operation and is powered by an 
internal battery. It uses a fuel cell sensor. (2) The Alco-Sensor FST 
manufactured by Intoximeters, Inc, St. Louis, MO. This is a hand held 
device intended for use in stationary or roadside operation and is 
powered by an internal battery. It uses a fuel cell sensor. Finally, a 
technical correction has to be made in the name of one device on the 
CPL. The current CPL lists the ``Intox EC/IR 2'' manufactured by 
Intoximeters, Inc., St. Louis, MO, but the device should be listed as 
``Intox EC/IR II.''
    The CPL has been amended to add the two instruments identified 
above to the list, and to make the one technical correction indicated.
    In accordance with the foregoing, the CPL is therefore amended, as 
set forth below.
