    (ii) These reports shall indicate the model year, evaporative family 
and the actual U.S. sales volume. The manufacturer may petition the 
Administrator to allow volume produced for U.S. sale to be used in lieu 
of U.S. sales. Such petition shall be submitted within 30 days of the 
end of the model year to the Manufacturers Operations Division. For the 
petition to be granted, the manufacturer must establish to the 
satisfaction of the Administrator that production volume is functionally 
equivalent to sales volume.
    (iii) The U.S. sales volume for end-of-year reports shall be based 
on the location of the point of sale to a dealer, distributor, fleet 
operator, broker, or any other entity that comprises the point of first 
sale.
    (iv) Failure by a manufacturer to submit the end-of-year report 
within the specified time may result in certificate(s) for the 
evaporative family(ies) certified to the certification standards set 
forth in Sec. Sec. 86.090-8, 86.090-9, and 86.091-10 being voided ab 
initio plus any applicable civil penalties for failure to submit the 
required information to the Agency.
    (v) The information shall be organized in such a way as to allow the

Testing implementation schedules of Sec. Sec. 86.096-8, 86.096-9, and 
86.096-10.
