Administration
[Docket No. NHTSA–2013–0058]
Model Specifications for Breath
Alcohol Ignition Interlock Devices
(BAIIDs)
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice revises the Model
Specifications for Breath Alcohol
Ignition Interlock Devices (BAIIDs). The
Model Specifications are guidelines for
the performance and uniform testing of
BAIIDs. These devices are designed to
prevent a driver from starting a motor
vehicle when the driver’s breath alcohol
concentration (BrAC) is at or above a set
alcohol level. Every State in the United
States has enacted a law providing for
the use of BAIIDs as a sanction for
drivers convicted of driving while
intoxicated offenses. This notice revises
the 1992 Model Specifications, to test
BAIIDs for conformance. These Model
Specifications are based, in part, on
input from interested parties during an
open comment period. This notice also
indicates that NHTSA will delay
rendering a decision about the
feasibility and timing of a Conforming
Products List (CPL) until more
information is available. Accordingly,
NHTSA plans to conduct an assessment
to determine whether establishing and
maintaining a CPL is feasible, prior to
rendering a decision.
