Please consider raising the number of PHEV conversions that would
trigger the requirement for emissions testing, from 10 vehicles to
100 units. Start-up PHEV ventures will be unduly burdened with the
cost of these tests at the proposed limit of 10 conversions, to
such an extent that it would become impractical (unprofitable) to
lunch a business to perform Plug-In conversions. At 100 vehicles,
the burden of testing costs on each car could be at least
manageable, ($2000) even if not ideal,  allowing us to collectively
proceed with the important work of improving the fuel economy of
tens of thousands of existing hybrid vehicles on the roads in North
America. A business that fails due to excessive external costs,
can't help the cause.

Thank you for your continued efforts on behalf of all who care
about the air.
