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.
