NYVIP MESSAGE No. 6 (2006)
4/19/2006
TO: All NYMA
INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM: NYS DEPT.
OF MOTOR VEHICLES
SUBJECT: NYTEST
INSPECTION PROGRAM
The
NYTEST emissions inspection has been an important part of the New
York State emissions inspection program since 1998. This emissions
inspection continues to test vehicles 1995 and older and vehicles
over 8500 lbs., vehicles most likely to pollute. The NYTEST
inspection program remains a critical component of meeting New York
State’s responsibilities under the Clean Air Act and will
remain in effect until at least March 31, 2008. This extension is in
response to the requirements of the Clean Air Act, currently approved
emissions models in effect from the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and as a result of determinations made by the NYS Department
of Environmental Conservation.
Although this extension is over a year away, DMV wanted you to know
as soon as possible. Many stations are facing decisions about
maintenance contracts and other considerations, and we wanted you to
be assured that the program would continue. When we get closer to
the start of the extension period, we will be providing you with more
information.
SGS Testcom will remain the Data Manager under the provisions of the
NYVIP contract. Effective April 1, 2007, the NYTEST transaction fee
will be the same as the NYVIP transaction fee in effect at that time.
This message is also being sent over the NYTEST message network
system.
These are messages sent by NYS DMV to the
inspection stations via the emissions analyzer units. They frequently contain important
information, usage tips, or announcements of system changes.
