The following controls are prohibited: (i) For anyone to design, manufacture, or install e mission control systems so they cause or contribute to an unreasonable risk to public health , welfare, or safety while operating. (ii) For anyone to design, manufacture, or install emission control systems with features that disable, deactivate, reduce effectiveness, or bypas s the emission controls, either actively or passively. For example, However, you may not include a manual vent that the operator can open to bypass emission controls if that vent closes automatically (i.e., without o perator involvement)

. You may include such design features if they ask us to allo w such features if needed for safety reasons or if the features operate during emission tests described in subpart F of this part. For example, you may include an integrated or external manually activated device in the portable fuel container’s design to temporarily relieve pres sure, provided that the device is in place during emission testing and closes automatically when not in use. * * * * *

List each distinguishable configuration i n the emission family. Include descriptions and part numbers for all detachable components such as spouts and caps and describe any devices designed for venting pressure, if applicable

. * * * * *

1004. Section 59.625 is amended by adding paragraph (b)(6 ) to read as follows: §59.625 How do I select emission families? * * * * * (b) Group containers in the same emission family if they are the same in all the following aspects:

### (1) Type of material (including pigments, plasticiz ers, UV inhibitors, or other additives that may

affect control of emissions). (2) Production method. (3) Spout and cap design. (4) Gasket material and design. ( 5) Emission control strategy. ( 6) Strategy for venting pressure. * * * * *
