[Docket No. NHTSA-2006-24964]


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 published in 
2004 (69 FR 42237) for instruments that conform to the Model 
Specifications for Evidential Breath Testing Devices (58 FR 48705).

DATES: Effective Date: June 29, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Maria E. Vegega, Office of 
Behavioral Safety Research, Behavioral Research Division (NTI-131), 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20590; Telephone: (202) 366-4892.

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 (Model 
Specifications), 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 July 14, 2004, the most recent 
amendment to the Conforming Products List (CPL) was published (69 FR 
42237), identifying those instruments found to conform with the Model 
Specifications.
    Since the last publication of the CPL, five (5) 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 6810'' manufactured by Draeger Safety, Inc., 
Durango, Colorado. 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) & (3) The ``Alcotector BAC-100'' and the ``Alcotector C2H5OH'', 
both sold by Guth Laboratories, Inc. of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. These 
devices are hand held devices intended for use in stationary or 
roadside operations. Both devices use fuel cell sensors and are powered 
by 4 ``AA'' batteries. The two devices are identical except for their 
printers. The BAC-100 has an internal printer. The C2H5OH does not have 
an internal printer, but can use an optional wireless printer.
    (4) The ``EV 30'' manufactured by Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. of 
Wheat Ridge, Colorado. This device is a hand held device that uses a 
fuel cell sensor and is powered by an internal battery. It is intended 
for stationary or roadside operations.
    (5) The ``DataMaster DMT'', manufactured by National Patent 
Analytical Systems, Inc. of Mansfield, Ohio. This is a bench-top, AC 
powered, infrared type breath tester with an analytical filter at 3.44 
microns, and interference filters at 3.37 and 3.50 microns.
    The CPL has been amended to add the five instruments identified 
above.
    In accordance with the foregoing, the CPL is therefore amended, as 
set forth below.
