Under contract with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYSDMV), Opus Inspection Inc. (Opus) is the provider of Computerized Vehicle Inspection System (CVIS) equipment and information management for the New York Vehicle Inspection Program (NYVIP2). Your inspection station has a contract with Opus for those services. Your station pays Opus a test authorization (TA) fee for each inspection your NYVIP2 CVIS conducts.

This message is to inform you that effective January 1, 2015, the test authorization (TA) fee for each inspection/transaction pre-paid to Opus remains the same at $0.436 (43.6 cents) throughout calendar year 2015.
