1 EPA Family Emissions Limits (FEL) for Snowmobiles are 75 for Hydrocarbons and 275 for Carbon Monoxide (2010 and 2011 model years). (See Federal Register Vol. 73, No. 123, Wednesday, June 25, 2008, page 35946)
2 Hydrocarbons: certified by EPA to a Family Emissions Limit (FEL) of 15 g/kW-hr or less.
3 Carbon Monoxide: certified by EPA to a Family Emissions Limit (FEL) of 120 g/kW-hr or less. Air emission figures for carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons presented are either the Official Test Results (OTR) or the certified FEL. The Official Test Results are actual measured emissions. FEL's are not-to-exceed levels as certified by EPA.
4 Society of Automotive Engineers testing procedures allow for a 2 dB tolerance over the sound level limit to provide for variations in test site, temperature gradients, wind velocity gradients, test equipment, and inherent differences in nominally identical vehicles. (It has been observed that under some test site conditions, variability in test results greater than 2 dB can be experienced.) Sound emission figures represent an average of Official Test Results.
5 Yellowstone BAT certification for all 2008 year model snowmobiles will expire at the end of the 2012-2013 winter. Once approved, a snowmobile would generally be certified in Yellowstone as BAT for a period of six years.
2003-2006 Model Year BAT Snowmobiles Authorized to be used on Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park
In Grand Teton National Park, BAT snowmobiles are allowed to be used on Jackson Lake for the purpose of ice fishing. The certification period is for six years, except that for individual machines, the period may be extended up to a total of 10 years provided that the mileage does not exceed 6,000 miles. Following are model year 2003-2007 snowmobiles authorized for use on Jackson Lake.
