(1) To obtain a Certificate of an Approved
			 Retrofit Compliance, using a Department-approved application, a Person who owns
			 or to whom the Medium- or Heavy-duty Truck shall be registered must submit
			 information sufficient to allow the Department to determine that the retrofit
			 technology meets the requirements of OAR 340-256-0510  and that the retrofit
			 technology is in good working order, including:
(a) A statement signed by the installer of
			 the Approved Retrofit Technology declaring that, at the time of installation,
			 the installer was authorized to perform the installation work by the
			 manufacturer of the Approved Retrofit Technology;
(b) A statement signed by the Person who owns
			 or to whom the Medium- or Heavy-duty Truck shall be registered committing to
			 and declaring the following:
(A) That, after
			 the issuance of a Certificate of Approved Retrofit Compliance, the Person who
			 owns or to whom the Medium- or Heavy-duty Truck is registered will either
			 ensure that the Approved Retrofit Technology remains operational and
			 functioning efficiently or notify the Department immediately in writing that
			 the Approved Retrofit Technology is functioning with decreased efficiency or
			 effectiveness or is no longer operational and functioning;
(B) That the Person who owns or to whom the
			 Medium- or Heavy-duty Truck is registered will notify the Department
			 immediately in writing if, after the issuance of a Certificate of Approved
			 Retrofit Compliance, the Person who owns or to whom the Medium- or Heavy-duty
			 Truck is registered becomes aware that changes occur such that the equipment no
			 longer would constitute Approved Retrofit Technology;
(C) That the Person who owns or to whom the
			 Medium- or Heavy-duty Truck is registered will engage in the annual renewal and
			 the Periodic Verification Process if and as required under OAR
			 340-256-0540;

			 and
(E) That the Person who owns or

			 may be:
(A) A Verification Letter issued by
			 EPA showing that the retrofit technology was listed on the Verified
			 Technologies List for Clean Diesel of EPA as of the effective date of this
			 rule. The letter shall describe the engine families and operating criteria
			 appropriate for the application of the retrofit technology and shall state that
			 the retrofit technology will result in a reduction of Diesel Particulate Matter
			 of at least 85 percent;
(B) An
			 Executive Order issued by the CARB showing that the retrofit technology was
			 listed on the Currently Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategy of the CARB
			 as of the effective date of this rule. The Executive Order shall describe the
			 engine families and operating criteria appropriate for the installation and use
			 of the retrofit technology and shall state that the retrofit technology results
			 in a reduction of Diesel Particulate Matter of at least 85 percent;
			 or
(C) Substantially equivalent
			 information to that required under paragraphs (A) or (B) based on retrofit
			 technology listed on either the Currently Verified Diesel Emission Control
			 Strategy of CARB or the Verified Technologies List for Clean Diesel of EPA
			 after the effective date of this rule that would allow the Department to
			 determine that the retrofit technology meets the requirements in OAR
			 340-256-0510(d);
(f)
			 Information sufficient to allow the Department to determine that the Approved
			 Retrofit Technology complies with labeling requirements in OAR 340-256-0550,
