This rule documents DEQ’s considerations regarding motor vehicle pollution control system requirements for Department of Defense personnel participating in the Privately Owned Vehicle Import Control Program.

(1)

U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) personnel participating in the DOD Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Import Control Program operating a 1975 or newer model year vehicle, may temporarily remove catalytic converter systems, or, if applicable, exhaust gas oxygen (O2) sensor(s), if one of the following conditions is met:

(a)

The vehicle will be driven to the port and surrendered for export under the above program within ten working days of disconnection, deactivation, or inoperability of the catalytic converter system or exhaust gas oxygen (O2) sensor(s); or

(b)

The catalytic converter systems and exhaust gas oxygen (O2) sensor(s) are reconnected, reactivated or made operable within 10 working days from the time the owner picked up the vehicle at the port.

(2)

Persons may disconnect, deactivate or render inoperable any catalytic converter system or exhaust gas oxygen (O2) sensor(s) on 1975 or newer model year vehicle of DOD personnel participating in the DOD POV Import Control Program which will be driven to the port and surrendered for exportation under said program within ten working days.

(3)

Unless otherwise exempt under this Division, vehicles must be configured as a vehicle certified by the EPA for sale and use within the United States under 40 C.F.R., part 86, subpart A.

(b)

The agency or organization that employs the owner of the vehicle;

(c)

The country to which the owner of the subject vehicle is transferring;
