35 Ill. Adm. Code 207.314
Collection and Testing
Section 207
Section 207.314 Collection
and Testing
a) Each vehicle that is purchased and collected by a vehicle
scrappage sponsor or manager shall be photographed at the collection site,
along with all owners or representatives or agents of the owners of the vehicle
that are present. Each vehicle shall also be marked with a unique
identification number that is visible in the photograph.
b) After arrival at the collection site, a vehicle scrappage
sponsor or manager shall take adequate measures to ensure that a vehicle that
is to be retired is not adjusted, repaired or tampered with in any way until
any testing has been completed. If non-emissions-related parts are no longer
in operable condition after the vehicle is collected and passes the operability
requirements in Section 207.312 of this Subpart, repairs may be made if needed
to allow testing (e.g., batteries, tires). No parts may be removed from any
vehicle prior to the completion of any testing.
c) The mileage indicated on the odometer must be recorded at the
time of collection.
d) If vehicles to be retired must undergo emissions testing
pursuant to the applicable vehicle scrappage plan and are not tested within 45
calendar days after collection of the vehicle, any CERs claimed which are
attributable to that vehicle will be discounted by ten percent. If emissions
testing is not conducted within 90 calendar days after collection of vehicles,
vehicle scrappage managers and sponsors will be able to claim CERs only on the
basis of modeled emissions.
e) In lieu of performing emissions testing on a vehicle, vehicle
scrappage managers and sponsors may use the most recent emissions test results
for that vehicle from an Agency administered IM240 Test conducted under the
Illinois vehicle emissions test program established and operated pursuant to
the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law of 1995 [625 ILCS 5/13B], provided that such
test was performed no more than 90 calendar days before collection of the
vehicle.
