RE: New Pa Inspection
And some more I will not post the other 50 pages I have of it
ATTENTION: ALL OFFICIAL INSPECTION[/b] STATIONS [/align]QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICERS AND PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE[/align]BI06-1 [/align]SAFETY INSPECTION[/b] BULLETIN [/align]APRIL 2006 [/align]TOPICS IN THIS BULLETIN:[/align]UPDATE REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ENHANCED INSPECTION [/b][/align]STATIONS TO INSPECT RECONSTRUCTED VEHICLES[/b] [/b][/align]As a follow-up to the September 2005 letter concerning the review of the reconstructed[/b] vehicle [/align]process, PennDOT has continued to work with the “Specialized Vehicle Compliance Advisory Panel†[/align]to establish procedures and requirements for the inspection[/b] and titling of reconstructed[/b], specially [/align]constructed, modified, flood, recovered theft, collectible vehicles[/b] and street rods. This panel (which [/align]is prescribed by law) consists of Legislative, Department and Industry representatives. [/align]As you may be aware, any appointed safety inspection[/b] station may currently inspect reconstructed[/b], [/align]specially constructed, modified, flood, recovered theft, collectible vehicles[/b] and street rods, complete [/align]the required application form and submit it to PennDOT for processing. Upon receipt of a title, the [/align]applicant then has to obtain a registration and license plate and have the vehicle reinspected prior to [/align]being able to operate the vehicle. [/align]The new process will consist of a network of specially equipped Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] [/align]Stations under contract with PennDOT with specially trained inspection[/b] personnel. Enhanced Vehicle [/align]Safety Inspection[/b] Stations may also choose to become a participating company in our On-Line [/align]Registration Program and be authorized to process title and registration work. This would permit you [/align]to issue registration plates, cards and stickers for customers, including those requesting credentials for [/align]reconstructed[/b] and flood vehicles[/b]. For those Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Stations that decide [/align]not to participate in the On-Line Registration Program, the services of the existing network of dealers, [/align]agents and messengers, who are able to issue registration credentials for a reconstructed[/b] vehicle that [/align]qualifies, will be available. [/align]The following questions and answers will provide you with a more comprehensive overview of the [/align]program and assist you in determining whether or not you choose to participate in this program. [/align]General [/align]Q. [/align]When does PennDOT expect to start the Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] program for [/align]reconstructed[/b], specially constructed, modified, collectibles, flood, recovered theft vehicles[/b] and [/align]street rods? [/align]A. [/align]PennDOT’s implementation date is scheduled for January 1, 2007. [/align]

2[/align]Q. [/align]What types of vehicles[/b] will require an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b]? [/align]A. [/align]All vehicles[/b] currently requiring the submission of an MV-426 application (for reconstructed[/b], [/align]specially constructed, flood, modified, recovered theft, collectible vehicles[/b] and street rods) [/align]will require the Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b]. [/align]Q. [/align]Of the vehicles[/b] listed above, what types of vehicle applications can be processed by a [/align]participating company in the On-Line Registration Program and be issued a registration and [/align]license plate immediately?[/align]A. [/align]Vehicles[/b] that require a reconstructed[/b] vehicle title brand, flood vehicle brand or a reconstructed[/b] [/align]flood vehicle title brand can be issued a registration and license plate immediately. [/align]Q. [/align]How will applications be processed for the remaining vehicle types such as; specially[/align]constructed, modified, collectible, recovered theft vehicles[/b] and street rods? [/align]A. [/align]After an inspection[/b] at an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station is completed, the [/align]application and other required documents are verified and assembled by the inspection[/b] [/align]mechanic. The application will be forwarded to PennDOT for review and expedited [/align]processing as is currently done. [/align]Q. [/align]If I am not an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station, will I be authorized to inspect [/align]reconstructed[/b], specially constructed, flood, modified, recovered theft, collectible vehicles[/b] and [/align]street rods and complete the required application for the purpose of having a vehicle titled and [/align]registered in Pennsylvania?[/align]A. [/align]No. Only those stations appointed as an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station will be[/align]authorized to perform these functions after January 1, 2007. [/align]Q. [/align]Is participation in this program voluntary?[/align]A. [/align]Yes, participation in the Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station program is voluntary. [/align]Q. [/align]How many vehicles[/b] are expected to require an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b]?[/align]A. [/align]PennDOT records indicate that approximately 40,000 enhanced inspections will need to be [/align]performed each year. [/align]Q. [/align]Is there a deadline for applying to become an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station?[/align]A. [/align]No. However, PennDOT will work to assure that there is an adequate network of Enhanced [/align]Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Stations to offer the public this service beginning January 1, 2007. [/align]Q. [/align]If I choose not to participate now, will I be able to apply as an Enhanced Vehicle Safety [/align]Inspection[/b] Station at a later time? [/align]A. [/align]Yes. After the initial start up, adding the Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station type to [/align]an existing safety inspection[/b] station can be done anytime by contacting your Quality [/align]Assurance Officer. [/align]Q. [/align]How do I begin the process of becoming an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station?[/align]A. [/align]You can begin the process of becoming an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station by [/align]requesting a requirements package and contract via email at PAInspections@state.pa[/b].us or by [/align]faxing your request to the attention of the Contract Section at (717) 705-6990.

3[/align]Administrative [/align]Q. [/align]Will there be a fee to become an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station or inspector?[/align]A. [/align]There will be no fee to apply for and be appointed as an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] [/align]Station. However, an investment in tools and inspector training will be required. Additionally, [/align]a certificate of insurance for general commercial liability in the amount of $50,000 and annual [/align]criminal record checks for employees will be required. [/align]Q. [/align]Must I have a separate insurance policy in the amount of $50,000 to operate an Enhanced [/align]Vehicle Safety Inspection[/b] Station? [/align]A. [/align]No. Current insurance policies in place will meet this requirement if the $50,000 minimum[/align]amount is maintained [/align]Q

RE: New Pa Inspection
That sucks. Makes me think that installing the cold air kit/tune will be more hassle than it's worth ( I live in the Philly 'burbs). Even if your re-install the stock airbox and reflash to stock tune to pass inspection/emissions, my guess is there is big old fine waiting for you if you then put the CAI/new tune back on and get pulled over. Has anyone in PA already undergone one of these new "modified" inspections? Care to comment on your experience?

RE: New Pa Inspection
It seems that it will be hard to enforce most things, like changing you stereo, paint or other things. To much red tape for Joe Blow to have to keep up with. That still sucks that something like that was even put into law. It reeks as another form of taxation. Where I live there are all sorts of rules that the inspection places are supposed to enforce, but they just blow it off. All they want is that yearly fee.

RE: New Pa Inspection
I thought that was the definition of a politican? incompetant or otherwise undesirable
ORIGINAL: nkx1
Got it, thanks for the definition! Although, I do not feel it is applicable to me whatsoever.
I actually do think for myself as most should, and accordingly, do not subscribe, wholly, to the objectives of any one political ideology. I'm independent, as I feel most should be. That way, you're as unbiased as possible when voting etc. And incompetant or otherwise undesirable politicians are less frequently elected as a result of political affiliation.

So, I get my car inspected, then install the CAI and tune. How the heck would anyone know that my inspection is now invalid? Don't sweat the small stuff...
