The substance behind enrollment.
Enrollment in the Compliance Program delivers a customized set of operational compliance instruments — the documents, procedures, and forms a shop needs to demonstrate substantive compliance with the Clean Air Act and parallel state programs. The instruments are prepared by our compliance team, customized to the shop, and ready for review by retained counsel and adoption on the date of issuance.
Fifteen instruments. Four operational categories.
The Compliance Standard organizes operational documentation into four categories. Each category addresses a distinct functional area of the shop's exposure under the Clean Air Act, applicable state programs, and adjacent consumer-protection law. Each instrument within a category is customized to the member shop and bears the shop's registered member number on every page.
Customer-facing disclosure
The instruments a shop's customers see, sign, and rely upon. Establishes the contractual posture between shop and customer, captures the off-road use representation required for non-street-legal components, and sets warranty handling under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Internal operations
The procedures and records the shop maintains internally. Demonstrates that compliance is a documented operating practice, not a marketing claim. The Clean Air Act SOP is the foundational instrument the EPA, retained counsel, and insurers will request first if regulatory contact occurs.
Regulatory contact response
Complete Program & Enterprise onlyThe instruments a shop deploys at the moment of regulatory contact. The Holding Letter is the template counsel adapts for first response. The Litigation Hold preserves records under federal evidentiary obligations. The Crisis Communications Protocol governs internal and external messaging during an active matter.
Public-facing posture
The instruments and credentials that demonstrate the shop's compliance posture to the outside world. The audit worksheet identifies actionable revisions to the shop's website. The Member Registry entry and member registration provide third-party-verifiable evidence of program completion.
Three tiers, each calibrated to a different exposure profile.
Tier selection is driven primarily by the shop's exposure profile — the kinds of products in inventory, the regulatory contact history, and the jurisdictions of operation. The matrix below describes who each tier is built for.
