Question & AnswerQ&A (LTO MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. RIB-2006-790)
The main purpose is to mandate the validation of emission testing results in the LTO IT Project system to ensure that only emission test results verified online and in real-time are accepted for motor vehicle registration.
Department Order Nos. 2005-34 and 2005-37 prescribe the rules and regulations governing the authorization of Private Emission Testing Centers and PETC Information Technology Providers.
All PETCs must be connected to the LTO-IT System online and in real-time through their respective PETC-IT Providers to allow verification of emission test results prior to vehicle registration.
Effective January 2, 2007, LTO officials and employees shall accept only emission test results verified and authenticated online in real-time under the DOTC/LTO-IT System.
The system verifies and accepts only motor vehicles with a 'Passed' emission test result for renewal registration of 'Private' and 'Exempt Private' vehicles, including those combined with miscellaneous transactions.
A rejection letter will be generated if the motor vehicle has no corresponding emission record.
No, the system will not validate emission test results of other motor vehicle classifications or types of transactions.
All orders or memoranda that conflict with this circular are deemed superseded.
Assistant Secretary Reynaldo I. Berroya signed the memorandum circular.
