Installation Audit Submissions -- INSTRUCTIONS

An important component of the Locomotive Part 1033 requirements is the Installation Audit Program (40 CFR §1033.335). Manufacturers must audit the remanufacture of locomotives covered by their certificates of conformity for proper components, component settings and component installations on randomly selected locomotives in an engine family. EPA has created an Excel-based template to help standardize the process by which manufacturers submit the results of these audits. The 16 fields included in the Installation Audits worksheet are described below. Manufacturers must document that all emission related components on a remanufactured locomotive are properly installed and are set to the proper specifications. Audits performed by the owners/operators of the locomotives are acceptable provided they are performed in accordance with the provisions of 1033.335 (affidavits for these audits may be requested by EPA staff). The first five fields at the top of the worksheet pertain to general information including: Model Year, Manufacturer, Total Annual Production, Audit Sample Size, and Location and Description of Audit Facilities. The 11 columns in the main table require additional data entry or input from the manufacturer for each engine family being audited. The “Field Descriptions” worksheet contains detailed notes on each of the 16 fields in the Installation Audits worksheet, including a description of the required data or information, how the data should be entered, the existence of any drop-down menus, and any other information that would be relevant to that field (including whether the field is dependent on preceding entries in the spreadsheet). In accordance with 40 CFR 1033.335(b), manufacturers must audit at least five percent of the annual production per model year per installer, or ten per engine family per installer, whichever is less. Also, in accordance with 40 CFR 1033.335(e) if a remanufactured locomotive fails an audit, then two additional locomotives must be audited from the next ten remanufactured in that engine family by that installer.
