Highway Safety Programs; 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 December 17, 2007 (72 FR 71480) 
for instruments that conform to the Model Specifications for Evidential 
Breath Alcohol Measurement Devices (58 FR 48705).

DATES: Effective Date: March 11, 2010.

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: Mr. David Bonelli, 
Office of Chief Counsel, NCC-113, National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590; 
Telephone: (202) 366-5834.

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.
    On September 17, 1993, NHTSA published a notice to amend the Model 
Specifications (58 FR 48705) and to 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, respectively. 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 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 December 17, 2007 (72 FR 71480).
    The CPL published today adds four (4) new instruments and updates 
the mobility status of one (1) existing instrument that have been 
evaluated and found to conform to the Model Specifications, as amended 
on September 17, 1993, for mobile and non-mobile use. This update also 
makes minor changes to instrument names and a change to a company 
location. In alphabetical order by company, they are:
    (1) The ``Alcotest 7510'' manufactured by Draeger Safety, Inc., 
Irving, Texas. This is a hand-held instrument intended for use in 
stationary or roadside operations. It uses a fuel cell detector and is 
battery powered.
    (2) The ``Alcotest 9510'' manufactured by Draeger Safety, Inc., 
Irving, Texas. This instrument previously conformed to the model 
specifications and was listed as a stationary device. After further 
testing, this instrument conforms to the specifications for stationary 
or roadside operations. This instrument is portable with a detachable 
carrying handle. It can be powered by either 110 volts AC or 12 volts 
DC, such as from a car battery. The Alcotest 9510 uses fuel cell and 
infra-red type sensors.
    (3) The ``Alco-Sensor V'' manufactured by Intoximeters, Inc., St. 
Louis, Missouri. This is a hand-held instrument intended for use in 
stationary or roadside operations. It uses a fuel cell detector and is 
battery powered.
    (4) The ``Evidenzer'' manufactured by Nanopuls AB, Uppsala, Sweden. 
This instrument is intended for use in stationary or roadside 
operations. The Evidenzer is a non-dispersive infra-red device that is 
powered by either 120 volts AC power or 12 volts DC, such as from a car 
battery.
    (5) The ``Mark V Alcovisor'' manufactured by PAS International, 
Fredericksburg, Virginia. This is a hand-held instrument that uses a 
fuel cell detector and is battery powered.
    Minor changes include adding ``Intox'' before or in the name of EC/
IR instruments by Intoximeters. Draeger Safety, Inc. address changed 
from Durango, Colorado to Irving, Texas.
    The CPL has been updated to include the five instruments and the 
minor changes identified above.
    In accordance with the foregoing, the CPL is therefore updated, as 
set forth below.
