Conforming Products List of Evidential Breath Alcohol Measurement 
Devices

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice updates the Conforming Products List (CPL) 
published in the Federal Register on June 29, 2006 (71 FR 37159) for 
instruments that conform to the Model Specifications for Evidential 
Breath Testing Devices (58 FR 48705).

DATES: Effective Date: December 17, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical issues: Ms. De Carlo 
Ciccel, Behavioral Research Division, NTI-131, National Highway Traffic 
Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 
20590; Telephone; (202) 366-1694. For legal issues: Ms. Allison Rusnak, 
Office of Chief Counsel, NCC-113, National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590; 
Telephone: (202) 366-1834.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 5, 1973, the National Highway 
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published the Standards for 
Devices to Measure Breath Alcohol (38 FR 30459). A Qualified Products 
List of Evidential Breath Measurement Devices comprised of instruments 
that met this standard was first issued on November 21, 1974 (39 FR 
41399).
    On December 14, 1984 (49 FR 48854), NHTSA converted this standard 
to Model Specifications for Evidential Breath Testing Devices (Model 
Specifications), and published a Conforming Products List (CPL) of 
instruments that were found to conform to the Model Specifications as 
Appendix D to that notice (49 FR 48864).
    On September 17, 1993, NHTSA published a notice to amend the Model 
Specifications (58 FR 48705) and update the CPL. That notice changed 
the alcohol concentration levels at which instruments are evaluated, 
from 0.000, 0.050, 0.101, and 0.151 BAC, to 0.000, 0.020, 0.040, 0.080, 
and 0.160 BAC. These devices are identified on the CPL with an 
asterisk. Additionally, that notice includes a test for the presence of 
acetone and an expanded definition of

[[Page 71481]]

alcohol to include other low molecular weight alcohols; e.g., methyl or 
isopropyl. Thereafter, NHTSA has periodically updated the CPL with 
those breath instruments found to conform to the Model Specifications. 
The most recent update to the CPL was published June 29, 2006 (71 FR 
37159).
    The CPL published today adds 6 instruments that have been evaluated 
and found to conform to the Model Specifications, as amended on 
September 17, 1993, for mobile and non-mobile use. In alphabetical 
order by company, they are:
    (1) Intoxilyzer 240 (aka: Lion Alcolmeter 400+, outside U.S.) 
manufactured by CMI, Inc., Owensboro, Kentucky. This is a handheld 
device intended for use in stationary or roadside operations. It uses a 
fuel cell sensor and is powered by 5 ``AA'' batteries.
    (2) The ``Alcotest 9510'' manufactured by Draeger Safety, Inc., 
Durango, Colorado. This is a bench-top device intended for use in a 
stationary setting. It is AC-powered and has dual sensors. The Alcotest 
9510 uses both a fuel cell sensor and a 9-micron infra-red type sensor 
to measure mouth alcohol.
    (3) The ``AlcoQuant 6020'' manufactured by EnviteC by Honeywell 
GmbH, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. This is a handheld device intended for 
use in stationary or roadside operations. It uses a fuel cell sensor 
and is powered by 4 ``AA'' batteries.
    (4) The ``EC-IR-II (Enhanced with serial numbers above 10,000)'' 
manufactured by Intoximeters, Inc., St. Louis, Missouri. This is a 
bench-top, dual sensor device intended for stationary operations, and 
it is AC powered. This EC-IR-II uses a fuel cell sensor to determine 
breath alcohol concentration. The device also uses an infra-red type 
sensor to screen for mouth alcohol. The original EC-IR-II design was 
modified to incorporate additional test memory capacity, additional 
hardware to allow recirculation of a wet bath simulator, and enhanced 
EMC and RFI immunity. This model with the enhancements has an external 
and internal printer production option available.
    (5) The ``Phoenix 6.0'' manufactured by Lifeloc Technologies, Inc., 
Wheat Ridge, Colorado. This is a handheld device that uses a fuel cell 
sensor and is powered by an internal battery. It is intended for 
stationary or roadside operations. The Phoenix 6.0 has the same core 
electronics, fuel cell, pump, and algorithms as the Lifeloc EV30. 
Enhancements of the Phoenix 6.0 include high resolution display, 
wireless printing, barometric pressure sensor (to assist with dry gas 
calibrations), and Easy ModeTM software to guide the user 
through the DOT testing protocol.
    (6) The ``ALC-PRO II (US)'', manufactured by Tokai-Denshi, Inc., 
Tokyo, Japan. This device is a handheld battery-powered breath tester 
with a fuel cell sensor. The breath tester is connected to a 10.5'' by 
7.5'' by 5'' AC powered analytical unit. It is intended for stationary 
or roadside operations.
    The CPL has been updated to include the six instruments identified 
above.
    In accordance with the foregoing, the CPL is therefore updated, as 
set forth below
