The federal government must certify training programs for technicians who convert vehicles to run on alternative fuels. These programs must teach safe installation, correct specs, and emissions testing. The Secretary must consult manufacturers, fuel suppliers, and conversion companies while building the program.
The Secretary* must make sure the federal government sets up and runs a program that certifies training programs. These are for technicians who install equipment that converts gasoline or diesel vehicles to run on alternative fuel, and for technicians who maintain those converted vehicles.
A training program cannot be certified unless it teaches technicians the right and safe way to install this equipment. It must cover following specifications, including the original manufacturer's specifications, how the converted vehicle should be operated, how to test emissions, and other mechanical issues that come up with these conversions.
While building this certification program, the Secretary must consult with vehicle manufacturers, fuel suppliers, companies that convert vehicles to alternative fuels, and anyone else affected by it.
The Secretary* shall ensure that the Federal Government establishes and carries out a program for the certification of training programs for technicians who are responsible for motor vehicle installation of equipment that converts gasoline or diesel-fueled motor vehicles into dedicated vehicles or dual fueled vehicles, and for the maintenance of such converted motor vehicles. A training program shall not be certified under the program established under this section unless it provides technicians with instruction on the proper and safe installation procedures and techniques, adherence to specifications (including original equipment manufacturer specifications), motor vehicle operating procedures, emissions testing, and other appropriate mechanical concerns applicable to these motor vehicle conversions. The Secretary shall ensure that, in the development of the program required under this section, original equipment manufacturers, fuel suppliers, companies that convert conventional vehicles to use alternative fuels, and other affected persons are consulted.
