DATE: 05/26/2022
TO: ALL EMISSIONS INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM: NYS DEPT. OF MOTOR VEHICLES
SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF NYVIP3 + EQUIPMENT
ORDERING
***PLEASE BRING THIS MESSAGE TO THE ATTENTION OF
THE STATION OWNER AND/OR MANAGER***
This message is to inform you of upcoming changes
to the New York Vehicle Inspection Program (NYVIP) and requirements to
participate as an emissions station.
As previously advised, NYVIP3 will require all
inspection stations to purchase a new computerized vehicle inspection system
(CVIS). As such, you must proceed to WWW.NYVIP3.COM to register and complete
your equipment order with Opus Inspection, Inc. (Opus).
To order your NYVIP3 equipment, the following
information will be required:
1) Facility
license number
2) Facility
contact information
3) Owner or
manager contact information
4) Payment
method information
Due to verified equipment supply chain shortages,
Opus has requested a modified implementation timeline for NYVIP3; as such,
hardware shipments must be prioritized:
• Opus will prioritize orders from official
diesel emissions (opacity) inspection stations and stations not
currently conducting inspections on the NYVIP network. Two important deadlines
are outlined below, please plan accordingly:
o July 2022: Opus expects to begin fulfilling these orders.
o November 1, 2022: Official diesel emissions (opacity) inspection stations and stations not currently conducting
electronic inspections are expected to have ordered and secured NYVIP3
equipment.
• All other stations currently conducting
inspections with a CVIS – excluding official diesel emissions (opacity)
inspection stations as noted above – are expected to begin receiving their
orders by Q2 2023.
o This group of stations have
the option of placing an order immediately, or closer to their targeted
delivery date.
o Placing an order and
submitting a completed NYVIP3 Station Participation Agreement to Opus will
ensure compliance and uninterrupted service with current NYVIP2 equipment.
For further information, email Opus Inspection at NYVIP3Info@Opusinspection.com. Please include your name, phone number, email address, and
facility number with your question(s), or call the DMV Office of Clean Air at
(518) 473-0597 and select Option #4.
DMV and Opus
will follow up this communication with further information as it becomes
available. Please be on the lookout for future NYVIP3 updates.
