Certain jurisdictions will need to make changes to their administrative arrangement in order to fully implement the NCOP. Prospective constructors or modifiers should contact the jurisdiction in which a vehicle is to be registered or modified to determine the most up to date information about the business rules or transitional arrangements that may be in force.

Looks like extra red tape for the state laws.

First few lines of the NCOP say it all. Local authorities have the power to enforce whatever they like as far as their "interpretaion" of the NCOP, vetoing anything in it they don't like.

Basically business as usual for the various State Dept of Transport. Another toothless attempt at being seen to be doing something, rather than actually producing anything enforceable.

Vehicle modifications is state jurisdiction, not federal. The states would need to sign those powers to the federal government before a national system could be implemented.

NCOP is a good idea, but the practicalities of it make it too much like hard work for our poor state legislators.

havent they been doing this for 10yrs they have been discussing NCOP ??? Surely if they are planning for at least last 2-3yrs to have it come in Jan 1, they would plan to have all the bullshit admin ready to go??

But as said, another ACCC....
