Section 1066.2 - Submitting information to EPA under this part(a) You are responsible for statements and information in your applications for certification, requests for approved procedures, selective enforcement audits, laboratory audits, production-line test reports, or any other statements you make to us related to this part 1066. If you provide statements or information to someone for submission to EPA, you are responsible for these statements and information as if you had submitted them to EPA yourself.(b) In the standard-setting part and in 40 CFR 1068.101 , we describe your obligation to report truthful and complete information and the consequences of failing to meet this obligation. See also 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 42 U.S.C. 7413(c)(2) . This obligation applies whether you submit this information directly to EPA or through someone else.(c) We may void any certificates or approvals associated with a submission of information if we find that you intentionally submitted false, incomplete, or misleading information. For example, if we find that you intentionally submitted incomplete information to mislead EPA when requesting approval to use alternate test procedures, we may void the certificates for all engine families certified based on emission data collected using the alternate procedures. This would also apply if you ignore data from incomplete tests or from repeat tests with higher emission results.(d) We may require an authorized representative of your company to approve and sign the submission, and to certify that all the information submitted is accurate and complete. This includes everyone who submits information, including manufacturers and others.(e) See 40 CFR 1068.10 for provisions related to confidential information. Note however that under 40 CFR 2.301 , emission data are generally not eligible for confidential treatment.(f) Nothing in this part should be interpreted to limit our ability under Clean Air Act section 208 ( 42 U.S.C. 7542 ) to verify that vehicles conform to the regulations.
