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
