by the EPA to an emissions standard at least as stringent as those specified
under §114.609 of this title (relating to On-Road Diesel Vehicle Purchase
or Lease Incentive Schedule) shall be eligible for an incentive for the reimbursement
of incremental costs not to exceed that specified under §114.609 of this
title if the purchaser or lessee of the on-road diesel vehicle agrees to register
the vehicle in this state and meets the requirements of this section.
(b) Only one incentive will be provided for each eligible new
on-road diesel vehicle purchased or leased in the state.
(c) The incentive shall be provided to the lessee and not to
the purchaser if the on-road diesel vehicle is purchased for the purpose of
leasing the on-road diesel vehicle to another person.
(d) An incentive for the lease of an eligible new on-road diesel
vehicle shall be prorated based on an eight-year lease term.

shall sign a certification that the person will operate the on-road diesel
vehicle in this state for not less than 75% of the vehicle's annual mileage
while owned or leased by the purchaser or lessee and while the purchaser or
lessee resides within the state before the reimbursement of incremental costs
can occur. The certification must contain, at a minimum:

of the person receiving the incentive;
(2) the purchase date, manufacturer, model, model year, vehicle
license number, vehicle identification number, gross vehicle weight rating,
