## 1. General Requirements

Federal J I M Program requirements : Utah was previously required by Section 182 and Section 187 ofthe Clean Air Act to implement and maintain an Inspection and Maintenance (1/M) program in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties that met the minimum requirements of40 code offederal regulation (CFR) Part 51 SubpartS and that was at least as effective as the EPA's Basic Performance Standard as specified in 40 CFR 51.352

. The Basic Performance Standard requirement is no longer applicable as the relevant nonattainment areas in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties have been redesignated to attainment 

### I maintenance for the carbon monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. Parts A, B , C, D , and E of Section X, together with the referenced appendices, continue to demonstrate compliance with the 40 CFR Part 51 provisions for Inspection and Maintenance Program Requirements for Davis , Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties and produce mobile source emission reductions that are sufficient to demonstrate continued maintenance ofthe applicable CO and 1-hour ozone NAAQS. In addition, the Cache, Davis , Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties' I/M programs are also utilized as a control measure to attain and maintain EPA's particulate NAAQS (PM25 and PM 10)

. On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Checks: By January I, 2002 , OBD checks and OBDrelated repairs are required as a routine component of Utah 11M programs on model year 1996 and newer light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks equipped with certified onboard diagnostic systems

. The federal performance standard requires repair of malfunctions or system deterioration identified by or affecting OBD systems.
Utah J I Mprogram history andgeneral authority: The legal authority for Utah's 11M programs , Utah Code Annotated Section 41-6-163.6 1

, was enacted during the First Special Session ofthe Utah legislature in 1983. 11M programs were initially implemented by Davis and Salt Lake counties in 1984, by Utah County in 1986, and by Weber County in 1990

. In 1990, the legislature enacted Section 41-6-163.7 2 that requires that counties with 11M programs use computerized 11M testing equipment, adopt standardized emission standards , and provide for reciprocity. Those requirements were fully implemented by Davis , Salt Lake, and Utah counties on September 1, 1991 , and by Weber County on January 1, 1992.

I Renumbered and recodified in 2005 at Utah C ode Annotated 41-6a-1 642 2 Renumbered and recodified in 2005 at Utah Code Annotated 4 1-6a-1 643

Section X , Part A , page 1Section 41-6-163.6 was again amended by the legislature in 1992 to include vehicles owned and operated by the federal government, federal employees , and students and employees ofcolleges and universities. The 1992 revision of41-6-163.6 also established more stringent restrictions for vehicles that qualify for a farm truck exemption

. Section 41-6-163.6 requires that, if identified as necessary to attain or maintain any NAAQS , a county must create an 

### liM program that follows the criteria outlined in 41-6- 163

.6. Once a county enacts regulations or ordinances, amendments to Section 19-2-104 in 1992 authorized the Utah Air Quality Board to formally establish those requirements for county I/M programs after obtaining agreement from the affected counties

. Section 41-6-163.6 was also amended to allow the counties to subject individual motor vehicles to inspection and maintenance at times other than the annual inspection.
Section 41-6-163.6 was amended in 1994 to authorize implementation of 

### liM programs stricter than minimum federal requirements in counties where it is necessary to attain or maintain ambient air quality standards. Section 41-6-163.6 requires preference be given to a decentralized program to the extent that a decentralized program will attain and maintain ambient air quality standards and meet federal requirements. 

### It also requires affected counties and the Air Quality Board to give preference to the most cost effective means to achieve and maintain the maximum benefit with regard to air quality standards and to meet federal air quality requirements related to motor vehicles. The legislature indicated preference for a reasonable phase-out period for replacement of air pqllution test equipment made obsolete by an 

### liM program in accordance with applicable federal requirements and if such a phase-out does not otherwise interfere with attainment of ambient air quality standards.
House Concurrent Resolution No. 9 ofthe 1994 General Session ofthe legislature (H.C.R. 9) was a concurrent resolution ofthe legislature and the governor expressing opposition to the EPA position regarding the implementation of enhanced vehicle inspection and urging the EPA to recognize the benefits of other vehicle inspection program options and to work with the state to develop workable plans for attaining ambient air quality standards and protecting public health

. In 1995 , the legislature amended Section 41-6-163

.7 to rescind the requirement for I/M program standardization and reciprocity between counties. While advantageous , standardization and reciprocity between 

### liM counties is no longer required, and each 

### liM county is free to develop an 

### liM program that best meets the respective county's needs.
In 2002 , the Legislature amended Section 41-6-163.7 to allow for inspection every other year for cars that are six years old or newer on January 1 each year. This provision is applicable to the extent allowed under the current state implementation plan for each
area.
In 2005, the Legislature renumbered Section 41-6-163.6 and re-codified it as Section 41- 6a-1642. The Legislature also amended Section 41-6a-1642 to allow counties with an

Section X, Part A, page 2liM program to require college students and employees who park a motor vehicle on college or university campus that is not registered in a county subject to emission inspection to provide proof of compliance with an emission inspection.
Section 41 6a-1642 was amended in 2008 to provide an exemption for vintage vehicles , which are defined in Section 41-21-1. Section 41 6a-1642 was again amended in 2009 to provide an exemption for custom vehicles, which are defined in Section 41-6a-1507.
In 201 0, the legislature enacted Section 41-1 a-1223 that allows counties with an liM program to impose a local emissions compliance fee of up to three dollars

. This same bill amended Section 41-6a-1642 to require liM counties that impose the fee to use revenues generated from the fee to establish and enforce an emission inspection and maintenance program
. Section 41-6a-1642 was amended in 2011 to require liM counties ' regulations and ordinances to be compliant with the analyzer design and certification requirements contained in the SIP

. In 2012, the Legislature amended Section 41-6a-1642 to allow a motor vehicle that is less than two years old as ofJanuary 1 of any given year to be exempt from being required to obtain an emission inspection. This provision is applicable to the extent allowed under the current SIP for each area. This bill went into effect on October 1, 2012. In addition, the legislature also amended Section 41-1a-205 to allow a safety and emissions inspection issued for a motor vehicle during the previous 11 months may be used to satisfy the safety and emissions inspection requirements 3

. The effective date ofthis bill is January 1, 2013. The legislature also amended Section 41-1a-1223 to allow the counties to collect a $2.25 fee for those vehicles that are registered for a six-month period under Utah Code Annotated 41-1a-215.5

. The effective date ofthis bill is July 1, 2013.


## 2. Applicability

General Applicability: Utah Code Annotated 41-6a-1642 gives authority to each county to implement and manage an liM program to attain and maintain any national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). Davis , Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties were required under Section 182 and 187 ofthe Clean Air Act to implement an liM program to attain and maintain the ozone and carbon monoxide NAAQS. All ofUtah's ozone and carbon monoxide maintenance areas are located in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties. In addition, a motor vehicle 1/M program is a control measure for attaining the particulate matter NAAQS in Cache, Davis , Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties. Utah's SIP for liM is applicable county-wide in Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties

.

3 Utah Code 41-6a-1642(7) states that " the emissions in spection shall be required within the same time limit applicable to a safety inspection under Section 41-la-205. " Section X, Part A, page 3

### 3. General Summary Below is a general summary ofUtah ' s liM programs. Part B , C, D , E and F ofthis section ofthe SIP provide a more specific summary ofl/M programs for Cache, Davi s, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties. These parts also incorporate the individual county liM ordinances/regulations and policies that provide for the enforceability ofthe respective liM programs. '
Network T y

p e: All Utah liM programs are comprised ofa decentralized , test-and-repair network.
J I Mprogram funding requirements : Counties with liM programs allocate funding as needed to comply with the relevant requirements specified in Utah's SIP ; the Utah statutes ; county ordinances , regulations and policies; and the federal liM program regulation. Program budgets include funding for resources nece ssary to adequately manage the programs conduct covert and overt audits , including repairs ; assist and educate inspectors, station owners , and the public; manage , analyze, and report data; ensure compliance with the program by inspectors , stations , and vehicle owners ; and evaluate and upgrade the programs. Funding mechanisms: Utah's liM programs are funded through several mechanisms including, but not limited to , a fee which is collected at the time ofregistration by the Utah Tax Commission Division ofMotor Vehicles or the county Assessor's Office. Those monies are remitted to the county in which the vehicle is registered. The collection of fees for various permitting activities and the selling inspection certificates to inspection stations are the other mechanisms. A fee schedule can be found in an appendix to each county liM ordinance or regulation.
Government fleet: Section 41-6a-1642(1)(b) ofthe Utah Code requires that all vehicles owned or operated in the liM counties by federal , state, or local government entities comply with the liM programs.
Vehicles owned b y students and federal employees: Section 41-6a-1642(5) provides a provision that counties may require universities and colleges located in Utah's liM areas to require proofofcompliance with the liM program for vehicles which are permitted to park on campus regardless ofwhere the vehicle is registered. Vehicles operated by federal employees and operated on a federal installation located within an liM program area are also subject to the liM program regardless ofwhere they are registered. Proofof compliance consists ofa current vehicle registration in an liM program area, an liM certificate of compliance or waiver, or evidence of exempt vehicle status.
Rental vehicles : All vehicles available for rent or use in an liM county are subject to the county liM program. To the extent practicable, all vehicles principally operated in the county are subject to the liM program.

Section X, Part A, page 4Farm truck exemption: Eligibility for the farm truck exemption from the 11M programs is specified in Section 41-6a-1642(4) and must be verified in writing by county JIM program staff

. Out-of-state exemption: Vehicles registered in an 

### liM county but operated out-of-state are eligible for an exemption. The owner must complete Utah State Tax Commission form TC-81 0 in order to be registered without inspection documentation. The owner must explain why the vehicle is unavailable for inspection in Utah. Common situations include Utah citizens that are military personnel stationed outside ofthe state, students attending institutions ofhigher education elsewhere, and people serving religious assignments outside the area. Ifthe temporary address ofthe owner is located within another liM program area listed on the back ofthe form, the owner must submit proofof compliance with that JIM program at the time of , and as a condition precedent to, registration or renewal ofregistration. The vehicle owner must identify his or her anticipated date ofreturn to the state and is required to have the vehicle inspected within ten days after the vehicle is back in Utah.
Motorist Compliance Enforcement Mechanism: The 

### liM programs are registrationenforced on a county-wide basis. A certificate of emissions inspection or a waiver or other evidence that the vehicle is exempt from the 11M program requirements must be presented at the time of, and as a condition precedent to, registration or renewal of registration ofa motor vehicles as specified in Section 41-6a-1642(1 )(a). Owners of vehicles operated without valid license plates or with expired license plates are subject to ticketing by peace officers at any time. Proofofcompliance consists ofa current vehicle registration in an 

### liM program area or an 

### liM certificate of compliance or waiver, or evidence ofexempt vehicle status.
Valid registration required: A certificate of emissions inspection or a waiver or other evidence that the vehicle is exempt from the 11M program requirements must be presented at the time of, and as a condition precedent to , registration or renewal of registration ofa motor vehicles as specified in Section 41-6a-1642 and 41-1 a-203(1 )(c). The 11M inspection is required within two months prior to the month the registration renewal is due as specified in Section 41-6a-1642(7) and 41-la-205(2)(a). Owners of vehicles operated without valid license plates or with expired license plates are subject to ticketing by peace officers at any time. Registration status is also checked on a random basis at roadblocks and in parking lots at various locations around the state

. Per Section 41-1 a-402, Utah license plates indicate the expiration date ofthe registration. Per Section 41-1a-1303 , it is a Class C misdemeanor for a person to drive or move, or for an owner knowingly to permit to be driven or moved, upon any highway any vehicle ofa type that is required to be registered in the state that is not registered in the state. Section 41-1 a1315 specifies that it is a third degree felony to falsify evidence oftitle and registration. Change of ownership: Vehicle owners are not able to avoid the JIM inspection program by changing ownership ofthe vehicle. Upon change ofvehicle ownership the vehicle must be re-registered by the new owner. The new owner must present an emissions Section X, Part A, page 5certificate, waiver, or proof of exemption from the 11M program as a condition precedent to registration4

. The new annual registration and l/M inspection dates for the vehicle will be the date ofregistration.
Utah Tax Commission, and County Assessors roles: The Utah Tax Commission Motor Vehicle Division and county assessor deny applications for vehicle registration or renewal ofregistration without submittal of a valid certificate of compliance, waiver, or verified evidence of exemption. Altered or hand-written documents are not accepted. All certificate data is collected by county 11M program auditors and subjected to scrutiny for evidence ofany improprieties.
Database quality assurance: The vehicle registration database is maintained and quality assured by the Utah Division ofMotor Vehicle (DMV)

. Each county 11M inspection database is maintained and quality assured by the county liM program staff. The county liM program has access to the DMV database and utilizes it for quality assurance purposes. All databases are subject to regular auditing, cross-referencing, and analysis. The databases are also evaluated using data obtained during roadblocks and parking lot surveys. Evidence ofprogram effectiveness may trigger additional joint enforcement activities. Oversightprovisions: The oversight program includes verification ofexempt vehicle status through inspection, data accuracy through automatic and redundant data entry for most data elements, an audit trail for program documentation to ensure control and tracking of enforcement documents, identification and verification of exemptiontriggering changes in registration data, and regular audits of 11M inspection records , 11M program databases, and the DMV database. Enforcement staff quality assurance : County 11M program auditors and DMV clerks involved in vehicle registration are subject to regular performance audits by their supervisors. All enforcement personnel (direct and indirect) involved in the motorist enforcement program are subject to disciplinary action, additional training, and termination for deviation from procedures. Specific provisions are outlined in the DMV procedures manual which is available upon request. The county 11M audit policy documents are provided in their respective part ofthis section. Quality Control: The 11M counties maintain records regarding inspections, equipment maintenance, and the required quality assurance activities.
