    (a) Any manufacturer obtaining certification under this part shall 
supply to the Administrator, upon request, a reasonable number of 
production vehicles (or engines) selected by the Administrator which are 
representative of the engines, emission control systems, fuel systems, 
and transmission offered and typical of production models available for 
sale under the certificate. These vehicles (or engines) shall be 
supplied for testing at such time and place and for such reasonable 
periods as the Administrator may require. Heavy-duty engines supplied 
under this paragraph may be required to be mounted in chassis and 
appropriately equipped for operation on a chassis dynamometer.
    (b)(1) Any manufacturer of light-duty vehicles or light-duty trucks 
obtaining certification under this part shall notify the Administrator, 
on a yearly basis, of the number of vehicles domestically produced for 
sale in the United States and the number of vehicles produced and 
imported for sale in the United States during the preceding year. Such 
information shall also include the number of vehicles produced for sale 
pursuant to Sec. 88.204-94(b) of this chapter. A manufacturer may elect 
to provide this information every 60 days instead of yearly by combining 
it with the notification required under Sec. 86.079-36. The 
notification must be submitted 30 days after the close of the reporting 
period. A manufacturer may combine

included in paragraphs (b)(1) (i) through (iv) of this section into the 
report required under this section. The vehicle production information 
required shall be submitted as follows:
    (i) Total production volume expressed in terms of units produced;
    (ii) Model type production volume, expressed for each model type in 
terms of units produced and as a percentage of total production;
    (iii) Base level production volume, expressed for each base level in 
terms of units produced and as percentage of:
    (A) Total production of its respective model type(s), and
    (B) Total production; and
    (iv) Vehicle configuration production volume, expressed for each 
vehicle configuration in terms of units produced, and as a percentage of 
the total production of its respective base level. In addition, each 
vehicle configuration shall be identified by its appropriate engine-
system combination.
    (2) All light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks covered by a 
certificate of conformity under Sec. 86.082-30(a) shall be adjusted by
