Title: Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle and Engine Conversions 
Abstract: New regulations affecting the conversion of automobiles from the original fuel on which they were designed to operate to an alternative fuel are necessary because at this time vehicle fuel converters are only able to convert a vehicle's fuel operation if the conversion has been EPA certified. The certification process is suitable for the conversions of newer vehicles. However, converters seeking to legally convert an older vehicle, for which there are now tax and other monetary incentives, need a process more suitable for older vehicles. This rule clarifies the certification procedure for new vehicle conversions as well as creates an option for used vehicles to ensure continued air quality.
