Highway Safety Programs; Conforming
Products List of Calibrating Units for
Breath Alcohol Testers
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, Department of
Transportation.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice updates the
Conforming Products List (CPL)
published in the Federal Register on
June 25, 2007 (72 FR 34747) for devices
that conform to the Model
Specifications for Calibrating Units for
Breath Alcohol Tester (CUs) dated, June
25, 2007 (72 FR 34742). This update to
the CPL includes 44 new listings—3 wet
bath units and 41 dry gas units.
DATES: Effective Date: October 22, 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: Mr. David Bonelli, Office of
Chief Counsel, NCC–113, National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC 20590; Telephone
number (202) 366–2580.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
18, 1975 (40 FR 36167), the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) published a standard for
Calibrating Units for Breath Alcohol
Testers. A Qualified Products List of
calibrating units for breath alcohol
testers that met the standard was first
issued on November 30, 1976 (41 FR
53389).
On December 14, 1984, NHTSA
issued a notice to convert the mandatory
standards for calibrating units for breath
alcohol testers to Model Specifications
for such devices (49 FR 48865) and to
establish a Conforming Products List
(CPL) of calibrating units meeting the
Model Specifications. Calibrating units
provide known concentrations of
ethanol vapor for the calibration or
calibration checks of instruments that
measure breath alcohol (BrAC).
On December 29, 1994, NHTSA
published a notice amending the Model
Specifications and updated the CPL for
calibrating units (59 FR 67377). That
notice also proposed and sought
comments about an alternate test
procedure using National Institute for
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with
SUMMARY:

Standards and Technology (NIST)
Reference Gas Mixtures for evaluating
the accuracy and precision of dry-gas
ethanol calibrating units. In Appendix A
of that notice, NHTSA identified the
calibrating units with an asterisk that
had been tested and found to conform
to the 1984 Model Specifications (49 FR
48864), when tested at alcohol
concentrations 0.050, 0.100, and 0.150.
All the other calibrating units listed had
been tested and found to conform to the
1994 amended Model Specifications (59
FR 67377) when tested at alcohol
concentrations 0.000, 0.020, 0.040,
0.080 and 0.160.
The agency amended the Model
Specifications on August 13, 1997 by
incorporating the NIST test procedure
(62 FR 43416). In that same notice,
NHTSA updated the CPL and proposed
an alternate test procedure for
evaluating the accuracy and precision
for wet bath and dry gas calibrating
units using infra-red spectroscopy. On
June 25, 2007, NHTSA adopted an
alternate procedure for evaluating wet
bath and dry gas calibrating units using
infra-red spectroscopy (72 FR 34742).
That notice also adds references to the
dry gas standards by fixed concentration
of ethanol in terms of parts per million
(ppm) and tank size in terms of liters
(L). In that same notice, NHTSA
updated the CPL to include 22 new
listings (8 wet bath and 14 dry gas
units).
The CPL that appears in today’s
notice lists calibrating units that have
been determined to conform to the
current Model Specifications and
continues to identify those units found
to conform to the 1984 Model
Specifications.
The updated CPL includes 44 new
calibrating units (3 wet bath and 41 dry
gas units). The wet bath units include:
(1) Alcosim, submitted by Alcohol
Countermeasure Systems, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada;
(2) Model 12V500 submitted by Guth
Laboratories, Inc Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania; and
(3) Model 3402C-Tandem submitted
by RepCo Marketing, Inc., Raleigh,
North Carolina.
The dry gas units 1 include:
(4) 105.1 ppm/30 L, 225.8 ppm/30 L,
104 ppm/55 L, 226 ppm/55 L, 274 ppm/
55 L, 53.5 ppm/108 L, 224.9 ppm/108 L,
273.8 ppm/108 L, and 316.2 ppm/108 L
totaling nine (9) tanks submitted by

added to the CPL today is illustrative of the ethanol
concentration in the volume of nitrogen dry gas.
Concentration is expressed in parts per million
(ppm) or marketed as breath alcohol concentrations
(BAC) and volume is expressed in Liters (L).

This notice also removes nine (9)
manufacturers of fourteen (14) CUs from
the CPL whose products are
discontinued or no longer sold or
supported by the manufacturer. In some
cases, the manufacturer no longer exists
or expressed an interest in removing
their unit(s) from the CPL. In one case,
a unit was previously produced by one
manufacturer and is now being
supported by another manufacturer.
This unit will not be removed from the
CPL, but it will be listed only under the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Investigators from PHMSA’s Office of
Hazardous Materials Safety (OHMS)
recently conducted a compliance
inspection of George Welding & Supply
Co., Inc. As a result of that inspection,
PHMSA has determined that George
Welding & Supply Co., Inc. marked an
unknown number of high pressure
compressed gas cylinders with
unauthorized Requalifier Identification
Numbers (RIN). In addition, the
evidence suggests that George Welding
& Supply Co., Inc. marked and certified
an unknown number of high pressure
compressed gas cylinders as being
properly requalified in accordance with
the Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMR) when it had not conducted the
testing prescribed by the HMR. PHMSA
has no record that George Welding &
Supply Co., Inc. was ever approved to
requalify DOT-specification cylinders or
mark such cylinders as being
requalified.
The evidence suggests that George
Welding & Supply Co., Inc. used RINs
that were issued by PHMSA to other
companies authorizing cylinder
requalification. The companies whose
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
RINs were used without authorization
are: C171—Proshield Fire Protection,
Waterloo, IA; C004—Swartz Fire &
Safety Equipment Co., Inc., Bellefonte,
PA; C411—Advanced Fire Protection
Services, Inc., Ft. Walton Beach, FL;
C951—Peifer’s Fire Protection, Inc.,
Pillow, PA; D477—NASCO, Colorado
Springs, CO; D575—Sea Sports, Inc.,
Hyannis, MA; D576—Chenango
Welding Supply, LLC; A101—Airgas
North Central, Waterloo, IA; and D322—
Allstate Fire Equipment Co. Each of the
previously indicated companies with an
authorized RIN has been granted
authority to requalify cylinders under
the terms of the RIN supplied to them.
Thus, if cylinders were serviced by the
aforementioned companies, they are not
subject to this notice. Only cylinders
serviced by George Welding & Supply
Co., Inc. baring these markings are
affected.
A cylinder requalification consisting
of a visual inspection and a hydrostatic
test, conducted as prescribed in the
HMR, is used to verify the structural
integrity of a cylinder. If the
requalification is not performed in
accordance with the HMR, a cylinder
with compromised structural integrity
may be inadvertently returned to service
when it should be condemned.
Extensive property damage, serious
personal injury, or death could result
from rupture of a cylinder.

Highway Safety Programs; Conforming Products List of Calibrating
Units for Breath Alcohol Testers
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 June 25, 2007 (72 FR 34747) for
devices that conform to the Model Specifications for Calibrating Units
for Breath Alcohol Tester (CUs) dated, June 25, 2007 (72 FR 34742).
This update to the CPL includes 44 new listings--3 wet bath units and
41 dry gas units.
DATES: Effective Date: October 22, 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: Mr. David Bonelli,
Office of Chief Counsel, NCC-113, National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590;
Telephone number (202) 366-2580.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 18, 1975 (40 FR 36167), the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a
standard for Calibrating Units for Breath Alcohol Testers. A Qualified
Products List of calibrating units for breath alcohol testers that met
the standard was first issued on November 30, 1976 (41 FR 53389).
On December 14, 1984, NHTSA issued a notice to convert the
mandatory standards for calibrating units for breath alcohol testers to
Model Specifications for such devices (49 FR 48865) and to establish a
Conforming Products List (CPL) of calibrating units meeting the Model
Specifications. Calibrating units provide known concentrations of
ethanol vapor for the calibration or calibration checks of instruments
that measure breath alcohol (BrAC).
On December 29, 1994, NHTSA published a notice amending the Model
Specifications and updated the CPL for calibrating units (59 FR 67377).
That notice also proposed and sought comments about an alternate test
procedure using National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
Reference Gas Mixtures for evaluating the accuracy and precision of
dry-gas ethanol calibrating units. In Appendix A of that notice, NHTSA
identified the calibrating units with an asterisk that had been tested
and found to conform to the 1984 Model Specifications (49 FR 48864),
when tested at alcohol concentrations 0.050, 0.100, and 0.150. All the
other calibrating units listed had been tested and found to conform to
the 1994 amended Model Specifications (59 FR 67377) when tested at
alcohol concentrations 0.000, 0.020, 0.040, 0.080 and 0.160.
The agency amended the Model Specifications on August 13, 1997 by
incorporating the NIST test procedure (62 FR 43416). In that same
notice, NHTSA updated the CPL and proposed an alternate test procedure
for evaluating the accuracy and precision for wet bath and dry gas
calibrating units using infra-red spectroscopy. On June 25, 2007, NHTSA
adopted an alternate procedure for evaluating wet bath and dry gas
calibrating units using infra-red spectroscopy (72 FR 34742). That
notice also adds references to the dry gas standards by fixed
concentration of ethanol in terms of parts per million (ppm) and tank
size in terms of liters (L). In that same notice, NHTSA updated the CPL
to include 22 new listings (8 wet bath and 14 dry gas units).
The CPL that appears in today's notice lists calibrating units that
have been determined to conform to the current Model Specifications and
continues to identify those units found to conform to the 1984 Model
Specifications.
The updated CPL includes 44 new calibrating units (3 wet bath and
41 dry gas units). The wet bath units include:
(1) Alcosim, submitted by Alcohol Countermeasure Systems, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada;
(2) Model 12V500 submitted by Guth Laboratories, Inc Harrisburg,

This notice also removes nine (9) manufacturers of fourteen (14)
CUs from the CPL whose products are discontinued or no longer sold or
supported by the manufacturer. In some cases, the manufacturer no
longer exists or expressed an interest in removing their unit(s) from
the CPL. In one case, a unit was previously produced by one
manufacturer and is now being supported by another manufacturer. This
unit will not be removed from the CPL, but it will be listed only under
the manufacturer that is currently supporting it. The manufacturers and
units being removed include:
(1) Davtech Analytical Services, Canada, and its CALWAVE dT-100
unit;
(2) Intoximeters, Inc., St. Louis, Missouri, and its Alco Breath
Alcohol Standards unit;
(3) Luckey Laboratories, San Bernardino, California, and its
Simulator unit;
(4) PLD of Florida, Inc., Rockledge, Florida, and its BA 500 unit;
(5) Protection Devices, Inc., U.S. Alcohol Testing, Inc., Rancho
Cucamonga, California, and its LS34 Model 6100 unit;
(6) Scott Specialty Gases, Inc., Plumsteadville, Pennsylvania, and
its Model EBSTM Gaseous Ethanol Breath Standard, Scotty 28
0.040 BAC/28L, Scotty 28 0.045 BAC/28L, Scotty 28 0.080 BAC/28L, Scotty
28 0.100 BAC/28L and Scotty 28 0.105 BAC/28L units;
(7) Smith & Wesson Electronic Co., Springfield, Massachusetts is
being removed from the CPL. However, its Mark II-A Simulator continues
to be supported and maintained by National Draeger, Inc., Colorado.
This unit will continue to be listed under National Draeger.
[[Page 64589]]
(8) Systems Innovation, Inc., Hallstead, Pennsylvania and its True-
Test MD 901 unit; and
(9) U.S. Alcohol Testing, Cucamonga, California and its Alco-
Simulator 2000 and Alco-Simulator 61000 units.
The other change today is an update to the listing for Liquid
Technology Corp., Orlando, Florida, which expands Ethanol-in-Nitrogen
to specify that the unit includes a 105 Liter tank with alcohol
concentrations of 104.3 to 219 ppm.
Consistent with the paragraphs above, NHTSA updates the Conforming
Products List of Calibrating Units for Breath Alcohol Testers
(Manufacturer and Calibrating Unit) \2\ to read as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Infra-red (IR) and fuel cell breath testers may be
calibrated with either wet-bath or dry-gas CUs. However, it is
inadvisable to use dry gas CUs when calibrating gas chromatograph
EBTs.
