Highway Safety Programs; Conforming Products List of Evidential 
Breath Alcohol Measurement Devices

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of 
Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice updates the Conforming Products List (CPL) 
published in the Federal Register on March 11, 2010 (75 FR 11624) for 
instruments that conform to the Model Specifications for Evidential 
Breath Alcohol Measurement Devices dated, September 17, 1993 (58 FR 
48705).

DATES: Effective Date: June 14, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical issues: Ms. De Carlo 
Ciccel, Behavioral Research Division, NTI-131, National Highway Traffic 
Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 
20590; Telephone; (202) 366-1694. For legal issues: Ms. Jin Kim, Office 
of Chief Counsel, NCC-113, National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590; 
Telephone: (202) 366-1834.

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. Those instruments are identified on the CPL 
with an asterisk.
    On September 17, 1993, NHTSA published a notice to amend the Model 
Specifications (58 FR 48705) and to update the CPL. That 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, respectively. It also included a test for the presence 
of acetone and an expanded definition of alcohol to include other low 
molecular weight alcohols, e.g., methyl or isopropyl. Since that time, 
the CPL has been annotated to indicate which instruments have been 
determined to meet the Model Specifications published in 1984, and 
which have been determined to meet the Model Specifications, as revised 
and published in 1993. Thereafter, NHTSA has periodically updated the 
CPL with those breath instruments found to conform to the Model 
Specifications. The most recent update to the CPL was published March 
11, 2010 (75 FR 11624).
    The CPL published today adds nine (9) new instruments that have 
been evaluated and found to conform to the Model Specifications, as 
amended on September 17, 1993 for mobile and non-mobile use. One 
instrument is distributed by two different companies, so it has been 
listed twice, for a total of

[[Page 35748]]

ten (10) new entries on this CPL. In alphabetical order by company, 
they are:
    (1) The ``SAF'IR Evolution'' manufactured by Alcohol Countermeasure 
Systems Corp. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This is a hand-held instrument 
intended for use in stationary or mobile operations. It uses an 
infrared sensor and powered by internal batteries.
    (2) The ``Intoxilyzer 600'' manufactured by CMI, Inc., Owensboro, 
Kentucky. This is a hand-held instrument intended for use in stationary 
or mobile operations. It uses a fuel cell sensor and powered by an 
internal battery. The Intoxilyzer 600 is also distributed as the 
Alcolmeter 600 by Lion Laboratories outside the U.S., so it has been 
listed twice on the CPL, once under each of its distributors/
manufacturers.
    (3) The ``Guth 38'' manufactured by Guth Laboratories, Inc., 
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This is a hand-held instrument intended for 
use in stationary or mobile operations. It uses a fuel cell sensor and 
is powered by internal batteries.
    (4) The ``Alco-Sensor V XL'' manufactured by Intoximeters, Inc., 
St. Louis, Missouri. This is a hand-held instrument intended for use in 
stationary or mobile operations. It uses a fuel cell sensor and is 
powered by internal batteries.
    (5) The ``LifeGuard Pro'' manufactured by Lifeloc Technologies, 
Inc., Wheat Ridge, Colorado. This is a hand-held instrument intended 
for use in stationary or mobile operations. It uses a fuel cell sensor 
and is powered by internal batteries.
    (6) The ``DataMaster DMT with fuel cell option series number (SN) 
555555'' and the ``DataMaster DMT with fuel cell option series number 
(SN) 100630'' manufactured by National Patent Analytical Systems, Inc., 
Mansfield, Ohio. These instruments can be used in stationary and mobile 
operations. These instruments use both infrared and fuel cell sensors. 
These instruments can be powered by either 110 volts alternate current 
or 12 volts direct current.
    (7) The ``Alcovisor Jupiter'' and the ``Alcovisor Mercury'' 
manufactured by PAS International, Fredericksburg, Virginia. These are 
hand-held instruments intended for use in stationary or mobile 
operations. Both instruments use a fuel cell sensor and are powered by 
internal batteries.
    This update also removes four (4) instruments no longer supported 
by the manufacturer and makes one minor change.
    The following instruments (PBA 3000 B, PBA 3000-P, PBA 3000 C and 
Alcohol Data Sensor), manufactured by Lifeloc Technologies, Inc., Wheat 
Ridge, Colorado, are being removed from the CPL because these 
instruments were determined to be obsolete. These instruments are no 
longer manufactured, in use or being maintained by the manufacturer.
    The minor change includes a change of address for Alcohol 
Countermeasure Systems Corp., from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada to 
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
    In accordance with the foregoing, the CPL is updated, as set forth 
below.
