2. Confirm
that the diesel emission control strategy family name on the retrofit label
matches the diesel emissions control strategy family name on the compliance
form;
3. Confirm that the BART
number (BART 1, BART 2 or BART 3) on the compliance form matches the BART
number on the retrofit label;
4.
Visually confirm the presence of a retrofit device upon the vehicle;
5. If the vehicle satisfies all of the
conditions of (c)1 through 4 above, certify on the compliance form that the
retrofit requirement has been met; and
6. If the vehicle fails to satisfy any of the
conditions at (c)1 through 4 above, certify on the compliance form that the

1. Confirm that the vehicle
identification number on the vehicle matches the vehicle identification number
on the compliance form;
2. Visually
confirm the presence of a closed crankcase ventilation system that meets the
following:
i. The closed crankcase
ventilation system must not have any opening that would permit the uncontrolled
release of crankcase emissions from the engine, as specified by (d)2ii through
v below;
ii. The tubing or similar
ducting material originating at the crankcase vent must be ducted to the engine
air intake plenum and may include an in-line filtration system;
iii. An in-line filtration system may also
have a drainpipe that returns condensed fluids to the crankcase or a collection
vessel;
iv. All tubing, ducting or
pipes, or connections thereto, leading from the crankcase vent to the terminal
point in the air intake system must be closed and secure. This includes
connections to any intermediary filters or drain lines, and their terminal
points; and
v. There are no visible
indications of leaks from closed crankcase ventilation system, such as oil
residue at connection points or visible emissions from the closed crankcase
ventilation system;
3.
If the vehicle satisfies all of the conditions set forth at (d)1 and 2 above,
certify upon the compliance form that the closed crankcase ventilation system
installation requirement has been met; and
4. If the vehicle fails to satisfy any of the
conditions at (d)1 and 2 above certify on the compliance form that the closed
