Sec. 86.544-90  Calculations; exhaust emissions.

    The final reported test results, with oxides of nitrogen being 
optional for model years prior to 2006 and required for 2006 and later 
model years, shall be computed by use of the following formula: (The 
results of all emission tests shall be rounded, in accordance with ASTM 
E29-93a (incorporated by reference in Sec. 86.1), to the number of 
places to the right of the decimal point indicated by expressing the 
applicable standard to three significant figures.)
