[Docket No. NHTSA-2012-0061]
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.
