#  Control of Air Pollution From Motor Vehicles and New Motor Vehicle Engines; Revisions to Regulations Requiring Availability of Information for Use of On-Board Diagnostic Systems and Emission-Related Repairs on 1994 and Later Model Year Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks and 2005 and Later Model Year Heavy-Duty Vehicles and Engines Weighing 14,000 Pounds Gross Vehicle Weight or Less; Notice of Document Availability

**AGENCY:**

Environmental Protection Agency.

**ACTION:**

Proposed rule, notice of document availability.

**SUMMARY:**

On June 8, 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (66 FR 30830) proposing revisions to regulations requiring availability of information for use of on-board diagnostic systems (OBD) and emission-related repairs. One of the proposed changes specified that manufacturers comply with SAE Standardized Practice J2534 for “pass-through reprogramming” for MY 2003 and later OBD-equipped vehicles with reprogramming capabilities. At the time the proposal was issued in June 2001, SAE J2534 had not yet been finalized. In the proposal, EPA committed to issuing a notice of document availability in the *Federal Register* to announce that SAE J2534 had been finalized.

SAE J2534 was finalized in February of 2002 and is now available for inspection only in EPA Air Docket A-2000-49 ( *see**ADDRESSES* ). In addition, interested parties can purchase this document directly from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) ( *see**ADDRESSES* ).

**ADDRESSES:**

Materials relevant to this rulemaking are contained in Docket No. A-2000-49. The docket is located at The Air Docket, 401 M. Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460, and may be viewed in room M1500 between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The telephone number is (202) 260-7549 and the facsimile number is (202) 260-4400 and the Internet e-mail is *[email protected].* A reasonable fee may be charged by EPA for copying docket material.

SAE J2534 can be purchased from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001 or at *www.sae.org.*
