- urges the EPA to waive requirements for recertifying conversion kits under certain circumstances;
- urges the EPA to permit small vehicle manufacturers to include vehicles and engines in a single engine category;
- urges the EPA to provide additional guidance to small volume manufacturers regarding the conversion of older vehicle models;
- urges the EPA to institute a natural gas vehicle research, development, and

The bill passed unanimously in the House Transportation Committee and now moves to the House floor for further debate.
