(2) For each vehicle configuration specified in paragraph (a) (1) of this section for which a fuel economy value approved under 40 CFR Part 600, does not exist, but for which a fuel economy value determined under that part exists, the manufacturer shall submit that fuel economy value.

(3) For each vehicle configuration specified in paragraph (a) (1) of this section for which a fuel economy value has been neither determined nor approved under 40 CFR Part 600, the manufacturer shall submit a fuel economy value based on tests or analyses comparable to those prescribed or permitted under 40 CFR Part 600 and a description of the test procedures or analytical methods used.
