Test Procedures for Testing Highway and Nonroad Engines and
Omnibus Technical Amendments
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation revises and harmonizes test procedures from
the various EPA programs for controlling engine emissions. It does not
change emission standards, nor is it intended to change the emission
reductions expected from these EPA programs. Rather, it amends the
regulations that describe laboratory specifications for equipment and
test fuels, instructions for preparing engines and running tests,
calculations for determining final emission levels from measured
values, and instructions for running emission tests using portable
measurement devices outside the laboratory. These updated testing
regulations currently apply to land-based nonroad diesel engines, land-
based nonroad spark-ignition engines over 19 kilowatts, and
recreational vehicles. The revisions in this final rule will update the
regulations to deal more effectively with the more stringent standards
recently promulgated by EPA and will also clarify and better define
certain elements of the required test procedures. In particular, the
amendments better specify the procedures applicable to field testing
under the regulations.
This action also applies the updated testing regulations to highway
heavy-duty diesel engine regulations. This action is appropriate
because EPA has historically drafted a full set of testing
specifications for each vehicle or engine category subject to emission
standards as each program was developed over the past three decades.
This patchwork approach has led to some variation in test parameters
across programs, which we hope to address by adopting a common set of
test requirements. The primary goal of this effort is to create unified
testing requirements for all engines, which when implemented will
streamline laboratory efforts for EPA and industry.
This action will also include other technical changes intended to
clarify and better define requirements for several different EPA engine
programs. These changes are relatively minor and are technical in
scope.
DATES: This final rule is effective September 12, 2005.
The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
this regulation is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of September 12, 2005.

I. Modified Test Procedures for Highway and Nonroad Engines
A. Incorporation of Nonroad Test Procedures for Heavy Duty Highway
Engines
As part of our initiative to update the content, organization and
writing style of our regulations, we are revising our test
procedures.\1\ We have grouped all of our engine dynamometer and field
testing test procedures into one part entitled, ``Part 1065: Test
Procedures.'' For each engine or vehicle sector for which we have
recently promulgated standards (such as land-based nonroad diesel
engines or recreational vehicles), we identified an individual part as
the standard-setting part for that sector. These standard-setting parts
then refer to one common set of test procedures in part 1065. We intend
in this rule to continue this process of having all our engine programs
refer to a common set of procedures by applying part 1065 to all heavy-
duty highway engines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For an overview of our new regulatory organization, refer to
our fact sheet entitled, ``Plain-Language Format of Emission
Regulations for Nonroad Engines,'' EPA420-F-02-046, September 2002,
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/largesi.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the past, each engine or vehicle sector had its own set of
testing procedures. There are many similarities in test procedures
across the various sectors. However, as we introduced new regulations
for individual sectors, the more recent regulations featured test
procedure updates and improvements that the other sectors did not have.
As this process continued, we recognized that a single set of test
procedures would allow for improvements to occur simultaneously across
engine and vehicle sectors. A single set of test procedures is easier
to understand than trying to understand many different sets of
procedures, and it is easier to move toward international test
procedure harmonization if we only have one set of test procedures. We
note that procedures that are particular for different types of engines
or vehicles, for example, test schedules designed to reflect the
conditions expected in use for particular types of vehicles or engines,
will remain separate and will be reflected in the standard-setting
parts of the regulations.
In addition to reorganizing and rewriting the test procedures for
improved clarity, we are making a variety of changes to improve the
content of the testing specifications, including the following:
Writing specifications and calculations in international
units
Adding procedures by which manufacturers can demonstrate
that alternate test procedures are equivalent to specified procedures.
Including specifications for new measurement technology
that has been shown to be equivalent or more accurate than existing
technology; procedures that improve test repeatability, calculations
that simplify emissions determination; new procedures for field testing
engines, and a more comprehensive set of definitions, references, and
symbols.
Defining calibration and accuracy specifications that are
scaled to the applicable standard, which allows us to adopt a single
specification that applies to a wide range of engine sizes and
applications.
Some emission-control programs already rely on the test procedures
in part 1065. These programs regulate land-based nonroad diesel
engines, recreational vehicles, and nonroad spark-ignition engines over
19 kW.
We are adopting the lab-testing and field-testing specifications in
part 1065 for all heavy-duty highway engines, as described in Section
II.J. These procedures replace those currently published in subpart N
in 40 CFR part 86. We are making a gradual transition from the part 86
procedures. For several years, manufacturers will be able to optionally
use the part 1065 procedures. By the 2010 model year, part 1065
procedures will be required for any new testing. For all testing
completed for 2009 and earlier model years, manufacturers may continue
to rely on carryover test data based on part 86 procedures to certify
engine families in later years. In addition, other subparts in part 86,
as well as regulations for many different nonroad engines refer to the
test procedures in part 86. We are including updated references for all
these other programs to refer instead to the appropriate cite in part
1065.
Part 1065 is also advantageous for in-use testing because it
specifies the same procedures for all common parts of field testing and
laboratory testing. It also contains new provisions that help ensure
that engines are tested in a laboratory in a way that is consistent
with how they operate in use. These new provisions will ensure that
engine dynamometer lab testing and field testing are conducted in a
consistent way.
In the future, we may apply the test procedures specified in part
1065 to other types of engines, so we encourage companies involved in
producing or testing other engines to stay informed of developments
related to these test procedures. For example, we expect to propose in
the near future new regulations for locomotives, marine engines, and
several types of nonroad SI engines. We are likely to consider some
changes to part 1065 in each of these rulemakings.
B. Revisions to Part 1065
Part 1065 was originally adopted on November 8, 2002 (67 FR 68242),
and was initially applicable to standards regulating large nonroad
spark-ignition engines and recreational vehicles under 40 CFR parts
1048 and 1051. The recent rulemaking adopting emission standards for
nonroad diesel engines has also made part 1065 optional for Tier 2 and
Tier 3 standards and required for Tier 4 standards. The test procedures
initially adopted in part 1065 were sufficient to conduct testing, but
in this final rule we have reorganized these procedures and added
content to make various improvements. In particular, we have
reorganized part 1065 by subparts as shown below:
Subpart A: general provisions; global information on applicability,
alternate procedures, units of measure, etc.
Subpart B: equipment specifications; required hardware for testing
Subpart C: measurement instruments
Subpart D: calibration and verifications; for measurement systems
Subpart E: engine selection, preparation, and maintenance
Subpart F: test protocols; step-by-step sequences for laboratory
testing and test validation
Subpart G: calculations and required information
Subpart H: fuels, fluids, and analytical gases
Subpart I: oxygenated fuels; special test procedures
Subpart J: field testing and portable emissions measurement systems
Subpart K: definitions, references, and symbols
The regulations now prescribe scaled specifications for test
equipment and measurement instruments by parameters such as engine
power, engine speed and the emission standards to which an engine must
comply. That way this single set of specifications will cover the
[[Page 40422]]
full range of engine sizes and our full range of emission standards.
Manufacturers will be able to use these specifications to determine
what range of engines and emission standards may be tested using a
given laboratory or field testing system.
The new content for part 1065 is mostly a combination of content
from our most recent updates to other test procedures and from test
procedures specified by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). In some cases, however, there is new content
that never existed in previous regulations. This new content addresses
very recent issues such as measuring very low concentrations of
emissions, using new measurement technology, using portable emissions
measurement systems, and performing field testing. A full description
of the changes is in the Technical Support Document that accompanies
this final rule (this document is available in the docket for this
rulemaking).
The new content also reflects a shift in our approach for
specifying measurement performance. In the past we specified numerous
calibration accuracies for individual measurement instruments, and we
specified some verifications for individual components, such as
NO2 to NO converters. We have shifted our focus away from
individual instruments and toward the overall performance of complete
measurement systems. We did this for several reasons. First, some of
what we specified in the past precluded the implementation of new
measurement technologies. These new technologies, sometimes called
``smart analyzers'', combine signals from multiple instruments to
compensate for interferences that were previously tolerable at higher
emissions levels. These analyzers are useful for detecting low
concentrations of emissions. They are also useful for detecting
emissions from raw exhaust, which can contain high concentrations of
interferences, such as water vapor. This is particularly important for
field testing, which will most likely rely upon raw exhaust
measurements. Second, this new ``systems approach'' challenges complete
measurement systems with a series of periodic verifications, which we
feel will provide a more robust assurance that a measurement system as
a whole is operating properly. Third, the systems approach provides a
direct pathway to demonstrate that a field test system performs
similarly to a laboratory system. This is explained in more detail in
item 10 below. Finally, we feel that our systems approach will lead to
a more efficient way of assuring measurement performance in the
laboratory and in the field. We believe that this efficiency will stem
from less frequent individual instrument calibrations, and higher
confidence that a complete measurement system is operating properly.
We have organized the new content relating to measurement systems
performance into subparts C and D. We specify measurement instruments
in subpart C and calibrations and periodic system verifications in
subpart D. These two subparts apply to both laboratory and field
testing. We have organized content specific to running a laboratory
emissions test in subpart F, and we separated content specific to field
testing in subpart J.
In subpart C we specify the types of acceptable instruments, but we
only recommend individual instrument performance. We provide these
recommendations as guidance for procuring new instruments. We feel that
the periodic verifications that we require in subpart D will
sufficiently evaluate the individual instruments as part of their
respective overall measurement systems. In subpart F we specify
performance validations that must be conducted as part of every
laboratory test. In subpart J we specify similar performance
validations for field testing that must be conducted as part of every
field test. We feel that the periodic verifications in subpart D and
the validations for every test that we prescribed in subparts F and J
ensure that complete measurement systems are operating properly.
In subpart J we also specify an additional overall verification of
portable emissions measurement systems (PEMS). This verification is a
comprehensive comparison of a PEMS versus a laboratory system, and it
may take several days of laboratory time to set up, run, and evaluate.
However, we only require that this particular verification must be
performed at least once for a given make, model, and configuration of a
field test system.
Below is a brief description of the content of each subpart,
highlighting some of the new content. We also highlight the more
significant changes from the regulatory language that was proposed in
our responses to public comments. See the TSD for a more complete
listing of the changes and comments to our proposed part 1065.
1. Subpart A: General Provisions
In Subpart A we identify the applicability of part 1065 and
describe how procedures other than those in part 1065 may be used to
comply with a standard-setting part. In Sec. 1065.10(c)(1), we specify
that testing must be conducted in a way that represents in-use engine
operation, such that in the rare case where provisions in part 1065
result in unrepresentative testing, other procedures would be used. We
have revised the proposed regulatory language for this requirement to
clarify the manufacturers' requirements and the process that we would
use to make changes to the test procedures in these cases.
Other information in this subpart includes a description of the
conventions we use regarding units and certain measurements and we
discuss recordkeeping. We also provide an overview of how emissions and
other information are used to determine final emission results. The
regulations in Sec. 1065.15 include a figure illustrating the
different ways we allow brake-specific emissions to be calculated.
In this same subpart, we describe how continuous and batch sampling
may be used to determine total emissions. We also describe the two ways
of determining total work that we approve. Note that the figure
indicates our default procedures and those procedures that require
additional approval before we will allow them.
2. Subpart B: Equipment Specifications
Subpart B first describes engine and dynamometer related systems.
Many of these specifications are scaled to an engine's size, speed,
torque, exhaust flow rate, etc. We specify the use of in-use engine
subsystems such as air intake systems wherever possible in order to
best represent in-use operation when an engine is tested in a
laboratory.
Subpart B also describes sampling dilution systems. These include
specifications for the allowable components, materials, pressures, and
temperatures. We describe how to sample crankcase emissions. We also
now allow limited use of partial-flow dilution for PM sampling. Subpart
B also specifies environmental conditions for PM filter stabilization
and weighing. Although these provisions mostly come from our recent
update to part 86, subpart N, we also describe some new aspects in
detail.
The regulations in Sec. 1065.101 include a diagram illustrating
all the available equipment for measuring emissions.
3. Subpart C: Measurement Instruments
Subpart C specifies the requirements for the measurement
instruments used for testing. In subpart C we recommend accuracy,
repeatability, noise, and response time specifications for individual
measurement instruments, but note that we require that overall
[[Page 40423]]
measurement systems meet the calibrations and verifications Subpart D.
In some cases we allow new instrument types to be used where we
previously did not allow them. For example, we now allow the use of a
nonmethane cutter for NMHC measurement, a nondispersive ultraviolet
analyzers for NOX measurement, zirconia sensors for
O2 measurement, various raw-exhaust flow meters for
laboratory and field testing measurement, and an ultrasonic flow meter
for CVS systems. We had proposed to also allow zirconia sensors for
NOX measurement, but we are not finalizing that option at
this time because of manufacturer concerns about drift and sensor
response to NO2 and NH3.
4. Subpart D: Calibrations and Verifications
Subpart D describes what we mean when we specify accuracy,
repeatability and other parameters in subpart C. We are adopting
calibrations and verifications that scale with engine size and with the
emission standards to which an engine is certified. We are replacing
some of what we have called ``calibrations'' in the past with a series
of verifications, such as a linearity verification, which essentially
verifies the calibration of an instrument without specifying how the
instrument must be initially calibrated. Because new instruments have
built-in routines that linearize signals and compensate for various
interferences, our existing calibration specifications sometimes
conflicted with an instrument manufacturer's instructions. In addition,
there are new verifications in subpart D to ensure that the new
instruments we specify in subpart C are used correctly. The most
significant changes in this subpart from the proposal are that we split
the language for continuous gas analyzer verification into two sections
(Sec. Sec. 1065.308 and 1065.309), we provide more detailed
descriptions for the FID O2 interference verifications
(Sec. 1065.362) and NMHC cutter setups (Sec. 1065.365), and we added
Sec. 1065.395 for inertial PM balance verification.
5. Subpart E: Engine Selection, Preparation, and Maintenance
Subpart E describes how to select, prepare, and maintain a test
engine. We updated these provisions to include both gasoline and diesel
engines. This subpart is relatively short, and we did not make many
changes to its proposed content.
6. Subpart F Test Protocols
Subpart F describes the step-by-step protocols for engine mapping,
test cycle generation, test cycle validation, pre-test preconditioning,
engine starting, emission sampling, and post-test validations. We
proposed an improved way to map and generate cycles for constant-speed
engines that would better represent in-use engine operation. We have
modified this language slightly to reflect the different ways in which
constant-speed test cycles can be specified. We are adopting a more
streamlined set of test cycle and validation criteria. We allow modest
corrections for drift of emission analyzer signals within a certain
range. We are also adopting a recommended procedure for weighing PM
samples. We are not finalizing our proposed procedure to correct for
instrument noise because after receiving many comments, we now
acknowledge that the procedure is not robust and applicable to all
emissions.
7. Subpart G Calculations and Required Information
Subpart G includes all the calculations required in part 1065. We
are adopting definitions of statistical quantities such as mean,
standard deviation, slope, intercept, t-test, F-test, etc. By defining
these quantities mathematically we intend to resolve any potential mis-
communication when we discuss these quantities in other subparts. We
have written all calculations for calibrations and emission
calculations in international units to comply with 15 CFR part 1170,
which removes the voluntary aspect of the conversion to international
units for federal agencies. Furthermore, Executive Order 12770 (56 FR
35801, July 29, 1991) reinforces this policy by providing Presidential
authority and direction for the use of the metric system of measurement
by Federal agencies and departments. For our standards that are not
completely in international units (i.e., grams/horsepower-hour, grams/
mile), we specify in part 1065 the correct use of internationally
recognized conversion factors.
We also specify emission calculations based on molar quantities for
flow rates, instead of volume or mass. This change eliminates the
frequent confusion caused by using different reference points for
standard pressure and standard temperature. Instead of declaring
standard densities at standard pressure and standard temperature to
convert volumetric concentration measurements to mass-based units, we
declare molar masses for individual elements and compounds. Since these
values are independent of all other parameters, they are known to be
universally constant.
We have added some detail to the calculations relative to the
proposed calculations to make them clearer. We also made changes in
response to comments from manufacturers.
8. Subpart H Fuels, Fluids, and Analytical Gases
Subpart H specifies test fuels, lubricating oils and coolants, and
analytical gases for testing. We are eliminating the Cetane Index
specification for all diesel fuels, because the existing specification
for Cetane Number sufficiently determines the cetane levels of diesel
test fuels. We are not identifying any detailed specification for
service accumulation fuel. Instead, we specify that service
accumulation fuel may be a test fuel or a commercially available in-use
fuel. This helps ensure that testing is representative of in-use engine
operation. We are adding a list of ASTM specifications for in-use fuels
as examples of appropriate service accumulation fuels. Compared to the
proposed regulatory language, we have clarified that Sec.
1065.10(c)(1) does not require test fuels to be more representative
than the specified test fuels. We have added an allowance to use
similar test fuels that do not meet all of the specifications, provided
they do not compromise the manufacturer's ability to demonstrate
compliance. We also now allow the use of ASTM test methods specified in
40 CFR part 80 in lieu of those specified in part 1065. We did this
because we more frequently review and update the ASTM methods in 40 CFR
part 80 versus those in part 1065.
We proposed purity specifications for analytical gases that scale
with the standards that an engine must meet. In the final regulations,
we have clarified the requirement to use good engineering judgment to
maintain the stability of these gases, and have tightened the purity
specification for FID fuel in response to comment.
9. Subpart I Oxygenated Fuels
Subpart I describes special procedures for measuring certain
hydrocarbons whenever oxygenated fuels are used. We updated the
calculations for these procedures in Subpart G. We have made some
revisions to the proposed text to make it consistent the original
content of the comparable provisions in 40 CFR part 86. We have also
added an allowance to use the California NMOG
[[Page 40424]]
test procedures to measure alcohols and carbonyls.
10. Subpart J Field Testing and Portable Emissions Measurement Systems
We are adopting a wide range of changes to subpart J Field Testing.
Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS) must generally meet the
same specifications and verifications that laboratory instruments must
meet, according to subparts B, C, and D. However, allow some deviations
from laboratory specifications. In addition to meeting many of the
laboratory system requirements, a PEMS must meet an overall
verification relative to a laboratory measurements. This verification
involves repeating a duty cycle several times. The duty cycle itself
must have several individual field-test intervals (e.g., NTE events)
against which a PEMS is compared to the laboratory system. This is a
comprehensive verification of a PEMS. We are also adopting a procedure
for preparing and conducting a field test, and we are adopting drift
corrections for emission analyzers. Given the evolving state of PEMS
technology, the field-testing procedures provide for a number of known
measurement techniques. We have added provisions and conditions for the
use of PEMS in an engine dynamometer laboratory to conduct laboratory
testing.
11. Subpart K Definitions, References, and Symbols
In subpart K we are adopting new and revised definitions of terms
frequently used in part 1065. For example we have revised our
definitions of ``brake power'', ``constant-speed engine'', and
``aftertreatment'' to provide more clarity, and we have added new
definitions for things such as ``300 series stainless steel'',
``barometric pressure'', and ``operator demand''. There are new
definitions such as ``duty cycle'' and ``test interval'' to distinguish
the difference between a single interval over which brake-specific
emissions are calculated and the complete cycle over which emissions
are evaluated in a laboratory. We also present a thorough and
consistent set of symbols, abbreviations, and acronyms.
II. Technical Amendments
A. Standard-Setting Changes That Apply to Multiple Categories
1. Definitions
We are revising several definitions that apply over more than one
part of our regulations. These changes are designed to harmonize our
regulations.
We are changing the definition of Marine engine and Marine vessel
to harmonize our approach to amphibious vehicles and clarify other
issues. We have treated amphibious vehicles differently whether they
had a diesel engine or a spark-ignition engine. We are harmonizing our
treatment of amphibious vehicles by consistently treating these as
land-based products. We are also adding a provision defining amphibious
vehicles are those that are designed primarily for operation on land to
clarify that we don't consider hovercraft to be amphibious vehicles.
This is consistent with our intent and our analyses in the rulemaking
to initially set standards for these products. See the Technical
Support Document for additional information related to these
definitions. In particular, note that we describe our interpretation of
what it means for an engine to be ``installed in a marine vessel.''
Manufacturers have raised several questions related to this issue,
especially as it relates to portable engines installed on barges.
2. Penalties
The Clean Air Act specifies maximum penalty amounts corresponding
to each prohibited Act. These maximum penalty amounts are periodically
adjusted for inflation, based on the provisions of the Debt Collection
Improvement Act. These maximum penalties have been updated under 40 CFR
part 19. The new maximum penalties are $32,500 for introducing
noncompliant engines into commerce and for manufacturers guilty of
tampering, and $2,750 for non-manufacturers guilty of tampering. In
addition, the maximum penalty we can recover using administrative
procedures is $270,000. We are extending these revised penalties into
each of our emission-control programs.
3. Deterioration Factors for HC+NOX Standards
Manufacturers requested that we allow them to calculate a single
deterioration factor for engines that are subject to combined
HC+NOX emission standards, rather than calculating separate
deterioration factors for each pollutant. We proposed for some engines
to clarify that separate deterioration factors were appropriate. In the
case of spark-ignition engines, it is especially true that changing
carburetor calibrations and other things affecting air-fuel ratios have
a direct inverse relationship on HC and NOX emissions. Where
deterioration factors are based on service accumulation through the
entire useful life, we believe it is therefore appropriate to base
deterioration factors for spark-ignition engines subject to
HC+NOX emission standards on a single deterioration factor
for the combined pollutants. However, if deteriortion factors are based
on service accumulation over less than the full useful life, we want to
avoid the situation where a manufacturer is extrapolating values that
presume further improvement in the emission levels of any particular
pollutant. For such testing, we therefore specify that separate
deterioration factors for each pollutant are appropriate. We are making
a related, additional change to clarify that manufacturers must include
both low-hour and deteriorated emission measurements for each
pollutant, even if the regulations allow for a single deterioration
factor for HC+NOX emissions together. Compression-ignition
engines have different wear mechanisms and generally have much longer
useful-life values, so it is not clear that this approach to allowing
combined deterioration factor is appropriate for these engines. We may
further consider applying this change to compression-ignition engines
in a future rulemaking.
4. Emission Warranty Related to Extended Service Contracts
Manufacturers objected to our proposal to apply emission-related
warranty requirements to components for which a consumer pays for an
extended performance warranty. We agree with the point raised by the
manufacturers that these service contracts do not necessarily imply
that the part should last longer, but rather that the manufacturer (or
a third-party provider) has made a calculation regarding the financial
and customer service benefits of offering contracts that provide free
or reduced-cost coverage for certain components after collecting an up-
front charge. We will remove this provision across all engine
categories.
5. Exemption for Staged Assembly
Some manufacturers pointed out that they were facing difficulties
with production processes that required them to ship nearly completed
engines to one or more different facilities for final assembly. Without
an exemption, this would violate the applicable prohibited acts, since
it involves the introduction into commerce an engine that is not in its
certified configuration. To address this concern, we have adopted an
exemption that allows manufacturers to assemble engines at multiple
facilities, as long as they maintain control of the engines at all
times before final assembly. Manufacturers would need to
[[Page 40425]]
request approval for such an arrangement. EPA approval may be
conditioned on the manufacturer taking reasonable additional steps to
ensure that engines end up in their certified configuration. This
exemption applies to all the engine categories that are subject to 40
CFR part 1068 (as described in the next section), and to locomotives
and marine diesel engines.
B. Nonroad General Compliance Provisions (40 CFR Part 1068)
In addition to the changing test procedures described above, we are
making various changes to the general compliance provisions in 40 CFR
part 1068, which currently applies to land-based nonroad diesel
engines, recreational vehicles, and nonroad spark-ignition engines over
19 kW. We encourage manufacturers of other engines to take note of
these changes, since we intend eventually to apply the provisions of
part 1068 to all engines subject to EPA emission standards.
There was extensive comment related to the existing provisions in
Sec. 1068.260 related to the exemption that allows engine
manufacturers to arrange for shipment of aftertreatment devices
separately from engines that are intended to rely on aftertreatment.
Commenters suggested that we relax some of the provisions that were
intended to prevent noncompliance. We continue to believe the
provisions adopted in Sec. 1068.260 are appropriate for nonroad
engines. The more extensive oversight and control mechanisms are
important to ensuring that engines are assembled correctly, since there
are so many possible equipment manufacturers and so many different
business relationships among companies. Given that we are requiring
engine manufacturers to include the cost of aftertreatment components
in the price of the engine, we believe it is implicitly clear that the
engine manufacturer is responsible for shipping costs, so we have
removed the proposal to restate that in the regulations. We are making
three other adjustments to the proposal. First, we are removing the
requirement for engine manufacturers to arrange for direct shipment of
aftertreatment components from the supplier to the equipment
manufacturer, since a third party may appropriately be involved to
produce system assemblies for integration into equipment. Second, we
are adding a paragraph to clarify that integrated manufacturers can
meet their auditing requirements by maintaining a database for matching
up engines with the appropriate aftertreatment components. Third, we
are adopting the staged-assembly exemption, as described above, which
would streamline the production process for integrated engine and
equipment manufacturers and address a wide range of production
scenarios in addition to separate shipment of aftertreatment
components.
The changes to part 1068 include several other minor adjustments
and corrections. These changes are described in the Technical Support
Document.
C. Land-Based Nonroad Diesel Engines (40 CFR Parts 89 and 1039)
We recently adopted a new tier of emission standards for nonroad
diesel engines, codifying these standards in 40 CFR part 1039. This
rulemaking led us to make several regulatory changes to the existing
tiers of standards for these engines in 40 CFR part 89. In cases where
we discovered the need for changes after publishing the proposed rule,
but we did not make those changes to part 89 in the final rule out of
concern that the public had not had an opportunity for comment.
Similarly, we are adopting some adjustments to part 1039, based on
information that surfaced late in that rulemaking. See the Technical
Support Document for a complete discussion of the rulemaking changes
for these engines.
We proposed to add a constraint for averaging, banking, and trading
to prevent manufacturers from including credits earned in California or
another state if there would ever be a situation in which manufacturers
would be making engines with lower emissions to meet more stringent
state standards or to earn emission credits under the state program. In
the case of nonroad diesel engines, California has adopted our Tier 4
standards without an emission-credit program that does not involve
California-specific credit calculations. The proposed provision would
therefore have no effect for the foreseeable future. We have decided
not to adopt the proposed provision, but expect to pursue this if
California adopts more stringent standards or creates a California-
specific emission-credit program for these engines (see 40 CFR
1051.701(d)(4)).
D. Marine Diesel Engines (40 CFR Part 94)
We are making several changes to our marine diesel engine program,
in 40 CFR part 94. These changes are intended to clarify several
aspects of the program. These changes are described in detail in the
Technical Support Document. This discussion also elaborates on our
interpretation of various provisions. For example, we describe how to
determine which standards apply to amphibious vehicles and hovercraft.
We also explain how we interpret the term ``marine diesel engine'' with
respect to auxiliary applications in which it may not be clear whether
the engine is ``installed'' on the vessel or not.
E. Small Nonroad Spark-Ignition Engines (40 CFR Part 90)
We are adding a new Sec. 90.913 to better define the
responsibilities for manufacturers choosing to certify their engines
below 19 kW to the emission standards for Large SI engines in 40 CFR
part 1048. We are also revising Sec. 90.1 to cross-reference
provisions in parts 86, 1048, and 1051 that allow highway motorcycle
engines and nonroad engines above 19 kW to meet the requirements in
part 90 under certain conditions.
We are making several amendments to the test procedures, such as
improving calculations for humidity corrections, adding clarifying
language, and adjusting reporting provisions. We are also updating
current references to test procedures in 40 CFR part 86 by pointing
instead to 40 CFR part 1065. In addition, we are making a variety of
minor corrections and clarifications. See the Technical Support
Document for a discussion of all these changes.
F. Marine Spark-Ignition Engines (40 CFR Part 91)
We are adopting only minimal changes for Marine SI engines in 40
CFR part 91. These changes are primarily to update current references
to test procedures in 40 CFR part 86 by pointing instead to 40 CFR part
1065. We are also updating various definitions, as described in Section
II.A. Manufacturers raised some issues in the comment period that
resulted in further minor corrections and adjustments for the final
rule. We also corrected equations for typographical errors.
G. Large Nonroad Spark-Ignition Engines (40 CFR Part 1048)
We adopted emission standards for nonroad spark-ignition engines
over 19 kW in November 2002 (67 FR 68242). The regulations in 40 CFR
part 1048 were our first attempt to draft emission-control regulations
in plain-language format. In the recent final rule for nonroad diesel
engines, we went through a similar process, including extensive
interaction with a different set of manufacturers. This process led us
to adopt regulatory provisions in 40 CFR part 1039 that differ somewhat
from those in part 1048. Since the process of meeting standards,
applying for
[[Page 40426]]
certificates, and complying with other emission-related requirements
has a lot of commonality across programs, we have a strong interest in
adopting consistent provisions and uniform terminology where possible.
As a result, we are making extensive changes in part 1048 to align with
the regulations in part 1039.
For discussion of these changes, see the Technical Support
Document.
H. Recreational Vehicles (40 CFR Part 1051)
We adopted emission standards for recreational vehicles in November
2002 (67 FR 68242). The regulations in 40 CFR part 1051 were our first
attempt to draft emission-control regulations in plain-language format.
In the recent final rule for nonroad diesel engines, we went through a
similar process, including extensive interaction with a different set
of manufacturers. This process led us to adopt regulatory provisions in
40 CFR part 1039 that differ from those in part 1051. Since the process
of meeting standards, applying for certificates, and complying with
other emission-related requirements has a lot of commonality across
programs, we have a strong interest in adopting consistent provisions
and uniform terminology as much as possible. As a result, we are making
extensive changes in part 1051 to align with the regulations in part
1039. These provisions are all discussed in more detail in the
Technical Support Document.
We proposed to add a constraint for averaging, banking, and trading
to prevent manufacturers from including credits earned in California or
another state if there would ever be a situation in which manufacturers
would be making engines with lower emissions to meet more stringent
state standards or to earn emission credits under the state program. We
are adopting this provision in the final rule to require exclusion of
California sales from federal ABT calculations if a company is subject
to more stringent state standards, or if a company generates or uses
emissions credits to show that it meets California standards. This
provision is necessary to prevent double-counting of emission credits.
In the case of recreational vehicles, California adopted emission
standards that predate the EPA rulemaking. The California emission
standards are based on a similar technology assessment, but are in a
different form. For example, California specifies different numerical
standards that apply to hydrocarbon emissions only, while EPA's
standards apply to HC+NOx emissions. Given the difficulty in
comparing these two sets of standards, we are making the judgment that,
for the purposes of ABT calculations, California's current exhaust
emission standards are equivalent to the EPA standards. Under the
current requirements, companies would therefore exclude their
California products from federal ABT calculations only if those
products generate or use emission credits under the California program.
If California adopts new standards for recreational vehicles, we will
again make a judgment regarding the relative stringency of the two
programs for ABT purposes.
I. Locomotives (40 CFR Part 92)
We proposed a variety of changes for our locomotive regulations in
40 CFR part 92 to correct various technical references and
typographical errors. We are finalizing those changes. We are also
finalizing other changes in response to comments. The large majority of
the comments received regarding locomotives came from the Engine
Manufacturers Association (EMA). See the Technical Support Document for
additional information. In addition to the changes being finalized, we
are also publishing the following clarifications in response to public
comments.
EMA asked that remanufacturers be allowed to limit the practice of
not replacing every power assembly with remanufactured power assemblies
at the time of engine remanufacture. Remanufacturers already can limit
this practice just as original manufacturers limit the parts that are
used in their locomotives. In fact, remanufacturers would be expected
to limit this practice to only those cases in which they can be certain
that the previously used power assembly will not cause an engine to
exceed an emission standard. By allowing an engine to be remanufactured
under its certificate, the remanufacturer is assuming responsibility
for the emission performance of that remanufactured engine. We define
remanufactured locomotives to be ``new'', and the certificate holder
has the same responsibilities as the manufacturer of a freshly
manufactured locomotive. The remanufacturer is thus expected to
maintain some degree of control over the remanufacturing process to
ensure that the remanufactured locomotive. For example, the
remanufacturer might limit the certificate to only those engines
remanufactured by installers that has been properly trained. It must be
noted, however, that while certificate holders have responsibility for
the emission performance of locomotives remanufactured under their
certificates, 40 CFR 92.209 also assigns responsibility to others
involved in the remanufacturing process.
EMA asked that EPA not use the term ``offer for sale'' in the
prohibited acts (40 CFR 92.1103). They are concerned that this would be
problematic because locomotives are generally manufactured only after a
sales agreement has been completed. The manufacturer offers to
manufacture and sell a locomotive at least several months before it
actually has obtained a certificate of conformity for the locomotive.
Given this confusion, we are clarifying that EPA does not interpret the
phrase ``offer to sell'' to apply to products that have not yet been
manufactured (or remanufactured, as applicable).
EMA asked that EPA exempt replacement engines as we do in other
nonroad engine programs. However, such exemption is not necessary with
locomotives. Long after the manufacturer has stopped manufacturing
brand new engines, that manufacturer (along with other remanufacturers)
will be certifying remanufacturing systems. Thus, we believe that the
cases in which a brand new engine will be needed will be rare.
Nevertheless, we are finalizing a regulatory change in 40 CFR 92.204 to
explicitly allow manufacturers to include freshly manufactured
locomotive engines in the same engine family as remanufactured
locomotives. We believe that this will resolve the issue, since
manufacturers would merely need to certify a remanufacturing system for
each engine it manufactures.
Finally, we are adopting a provision that will allow manufacturers
to certify locomotives that have total power less than 750 kW. This
provision will allow manufacturers of hybrid locomotives to certify
under 40 CFR part 92. EMA commented that if we do this, we should
specify test procedures and duty-cycle weightings for such hybrids. We
agree that this would be appropriate in the long term, but do not
believe that this rulemaking would be the proper place for such
provisions. Instead, we expect to rely on the testing and calculation
flexibility of 40 CFR 92.207 and 92.132(e) to certify hybrids on a
case-by-case basis.
J. Highway Engines and Vehicles (40 CFR Parts 85 and 86)
Most of the changes we are adopting in parts 85 and 86 apply
uniquely to different types of vehicles or engines. We are, however,
adopting changes to the program for Independent Commercial Importers
that affect all the different applications. The Technical
[[Page 40427]]
Support Document describes how we are limiting the importation of
products where the applicable standards are based on the year of
original production. We continue to allow unlimited importation of
products where the applicable standards are based on the year of
modification.
The following paragraphs provide an overview of the changes for
each type of engine or vehicle. See the Technical Support Document for
a more detailed discussion of these changes.
1. Light-Duty Vehicles
For light-duty vehicles, we are adopting a variety of
clarifications and corrections, especially related to test procedures.
2. Highway Motorcycles
For highway motorcycles, we are correcting fuel specifications,
clarifying the requirements related to engine labels, fixing the
provisions related to using nonroad certificates for highway
motorcycles below 50 cc (consistent with similar changes in other
programs), and making a variety of other minor corrections.
3. Heavy-Duty Highway Engines
As discussed above, we are adopting the lab-testing and field-
testing specifications in part 1065 for heavy-duty highway engines,
including both diesel and Otto-cycle engines. These procedures replace
those currently published in 40 CFR part 86, subpart N.
We proposed to complete the migration of heavy-duty highway test
procedures to part 1065 by the 2008 model year. Manufacturers pointed
out that it would be most appropriate to move this date back to 2010 to
correspond with the implementation of the new emission standards in
that year. We agree that it would be appropriate to make this
transition over several model years to fully migrate to part 1065, no
later than model year 2010. Manufacturers do not need to conduct new
testing if they are able to use carryover data, but any new testing for
2010 and later model years must be done using the part 1065 procedures.
Migrating heavy-duty highway engines to the part 1065 procedures allows
us to include all the testing-related improvements in the HD2007 rule,
including those we have adopted through guidance.\2\ In addition, part
1065 incorporates revisions based on updated procedures for sampling
low concentrations of PM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ ``Guidance Regarding Test Procedures for Heavy-Duty On-
Highway and Non-Road Engines,'' December 3, 2002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another question was raised about how EPA should conduct testing
during this transition stage. We intend to incorporate near-term
upgrades that would make our testing facilities capable of meeting the
requirements in part 1065. Most of the testing methods in part 1065
result in better measurements and should therefore not pose problems,
even if manufacturers based their certification on the test procedures
specified in part 86. Three exceptions to this include the steps for
mapping an engine, denormalizing test cycles, and evaluating cycle-
validation criteria. Changing the specified procedure for these three
items would involve different engine operation that could cause an
engine to have higher or lower emission levels.For all other
parameters, the new procedures would be equivalent, or would give more
accurate or more precise results. We are therefore specifying that we
will follow the manufacturer's procedures for these three items related
to engine operation, but will otherwise consider our tests valid if we
use procedures from either part 86 or part 1065, regardless of the
procedures used by the manufacturer.
EMA responded to our request for comment related to a provision
that would allow engine manufacturers to ship certified engines without
applicable aftertreatment components, while providing for separate
shipment of those components to equipment manufacturers. EMA commented
that such a provision would be appropriate, and that it should be set
up to require either that the component cost be included in the price
of the engine, or auditing requirements for engine manufacturers, but
not both, since the equipment manufacturer has enough incentive to make
the final installation without additional oversight. We agree with
manufacturers that these more flexible arrangements are appropriate for
the prevailing business relationships for heavy-duty highway engines.
There are far fewer manufacturers producing heavy-duty trucks and buses
than nonroad equipment. Engine manufacturers are therefore expected to
be able to maintain control with an approach that requires them either
to include the price of the aftertreatment in the engine price or to
conduct periodic audits of vehicle manufacturers, but not both. In the
periodic audit we require manufacturers to confirm the number of
aftertreatment component shipped is sufficient for the applicable
vehicle production. This confirmation is intended to show that the
vehicle manufacturers have purchasing and manufacturing processes in
place to ensure that they are ordering and receiving enough
aftertreatment components and that each vehicles is equipped with the
correct components. To reduce the risk of noncompliance where the
engine and aftertreatment components are not priced together, we
require that engine manufacturers have a written confirmation that the
vehicle manufacturer has ordered the appropriate aftertreatment before
shipping engines without the otherwise required aftertreatment
components.
We are adopting a test-related provision that was described in the
proposal. We requested comment on approaches to address the concern
that some engines experience significant overspeed excursions when
following the proposed approach to defining maximum test speed and
denormalizing duty cycles. As described in the Technical Support
Document, we are finalizing a provision to define maximum test speed at
the highest speed point at which engines are expected to operate in
use.
III. Public Participation
In the proposed rule, we invited public participation in a public
hearing, a public workshop, and a comment period for written comments.
No one responded to indicate in interest in the public hearing, but we
held the public workshop to talk through a wide range of issues. We
also received written comments from about 20 organizations, mostly
representing manufacturers. Several principle issues raised by
commenters are described in the individual sections above. The Final
Technical Support Document addresses the full range of comments.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866 the Agency must determine whether the
regulatory action is ``significant'' and therefore subject to review by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the requirements of this
Executive Order. The Executive Order defines a ``significant regulatory
action'' as any regulatory action that is likely to result in a rule
that may:
Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or
more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, Local, or Tribal governments or
communities;
[[Page 40428]]
Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with
an action taken or planned by another agency;
Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements,
grants, user fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations of
recipients thereof; or
Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
The Office of Management and Budget reviewed this rule under the
provisions of Executive Order 12866. Any new costs associated with this
rule will be minimal. In addition, some of the changes will
substantially reduce the burden associated with testing, as described
in the Regulatory Support Document.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not include any new collection requirements, as it
merely revises the measurement methods and makes a variety of technical
amendments to existing programs.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
EPA has determined that it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis in connection with this final rule.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of this final rule on small
entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined
in the underlying rulemakings for each individual category of engines;
(2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city,
county, town, school district or special district with a population of
less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-
profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
After considering the economic impacts of this final rule on small
entities, EPA has concluded that this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The small entities directly regulated by this rule are small businesses
that produce nonroad engines. We have determined that no small entities
will be negatively affected as a result of this rule. This rule merely
revises the measurement methods and makes a variety of technical
amendments to existing programs. This rule, therefore, does not require
a regulatory flexibility analysis.
Although this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities, EPA nonetheless has tried to
reduce the impact of this rule on small entities. For example, most of
the changes clarify existing requirements, which will reduce the time
needed to comply, and added flexibility, which may allow for a simpler
effort to comply.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law. 104-4, establishes requirements for federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on state, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to state, local, and tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation of why that
alternative was not adopted.
Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including tribal
governments, it must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a
small government agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying
potentially affected small governments, enabling officials of affected
small governments to have meaningful and timely input in the
development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant federal
intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising
small governments on compliance with the regulatory requirements.
This rule contains no federal mandates for state, local, or tribal
governments as defined by the provisions of Title II of the UMRA. The
rule imposes no enforceable duties on any of these governmental
entities. Nothing in the rule significantly or uniquely affects small
governments. We have determined that this rule contains no federal
mandates that may result in expenditures of more than $100 million to
the private sector in any single year. This rule merely revises the
measurement methods and makes a variety of technical amendments to
existing programs. The requirements of UMRA therefore do not apply to
this action.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the states, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
Under Section 6 of Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue a
regulation that has federalism implications, that imposes substantial
direct compliance costs, and that is not required by statute, unless
the Federal government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct
compliance costs incurred by State and local governments, or EPA
consults with State and local officials early in the process of
developing the proposed regulation. EPA also may not issue a regulation
that has federalism implications and that preempts State law, unless
the Agency consults with State and local officials early in the process
of developing the proposed regulation.
Section 4 of the Executive Order contains additional requirements
for rules that preempt State or local law, even if those rules do not
have federalism implications (i.e., the rules will not have substantial
direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government). Those
requirements include providing all affected State and local officials
notice and an opportunity for appropriate participation in the
development of the regulation. If the preemption is not based on
express or implied statutory authority, EPA also must consult, to the
extent practicable, with appropriate State and local officials
regarding the conflict between State law and Federally protected
interests within the agency's area of regulatory responsibility.
This rule does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the
[[Page 40429]]
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.''
This rule does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This rule will be implemented at the Federal
level and impose compliance costs only on engine manufacturers and ship
builders. Tribal governments will be affected only to the extent they
purchase and use equipment with regulated engines. Thus, Executive
Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies
to any rule that (1) is determined to be ``economically significant''
as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an
environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may
have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action
meets both criteria, Section 5-501 of the Order directs the Agency to
evaluate the environmental health or safety effects of the planned rule
on children, and explain why the planned regulation is preferable to
other potentially effective and reasonably feasible alternatives
considered by the Agency.
This rule is not subject to the Executive Order because it does not
involve decisions on environmental health or safety risks that may
disproportionately affect children.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use
This rule is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not likely to have a significant effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of energy.
I. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C.
272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless doing so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to
provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not
to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
This rule involves technical standards. The International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) has a voluntary consensus
standard that can be used to test engines. However, the test procedures
in this final rule reflect a level of development that goes
substantially beyond the ISO or other published procedures. The
procedures incorporate new specifications for transient emission
measurements, measuring PM emissions at very low levels, measuring
emissions using field-testing procedures. The procedures we adopt in
this rule will form the working template for ISO and national and state
governments to define test procedures for measuring engine emissions.
As such, we have worked extensively with the representatives of other
governments, testing organizations, and the affected industries.
J. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
V. Statutory Provisions and Legal Authority
Statutory authority for the engine controls adopted in this rule is
in 42 U.S.C. 7401--7671q.

6. Section 85.1713 is added to subpart R to read as follows:
Sec. 85.1713 Delegated-assembly exemption.
The provisions of this section apply for manufacturers of heavy-
duty
[[Page 40431]]
highway engines. (a) Shipping an engine separately from an
aftertreatment component that you have specified as part of its
certified configuration will not be a violation of the prohibitions in
Clean Air Act section 203 (42 U.S.C. 7522), if you follow the
provisions of paragraph (b) or (c) of this section.
(b) If you include the cost of all aftertreatment components in the
cost of the engine and ship the aftertreatment components directly to
the vehicle manufacturer, or arrange for separate shipment by the
component manufacturer to the vehicle manufacturer, you must meet all
the following conditions:
(1) Apply for and receive a certificate of conformity for the
engine and its emission-control system before shipment.
(2) Provide installation instructions in enough detail to ensure
that the engine will be in its certified configuration if someone
follows these instructions.
(3) Have a contractual agreement with a vehicle manufacturer
obligating the vehicle manufacturer to complete the final assembly of
the engine so it is in its certified configuration when installed in
the vehicle. This agreement must also obligate the vehicle manufacturer
to provide the affidavits required under paragraph (b)(4) of this
section.
(4) Take appropriate additional steps to ensure that all engines
will be in their certified configuration when installed by the vehicle
manufacturer. At a minimum, you must obtain annual affidavits from
every vehicle manufacturer to whom you sell engines under this section.
Include engines that you sell through distributors or dealers. The
affidavits must list the part numbers of the aftertreatment devices
that vehicle manufacturers install on each engine they purchase from
you under this section.
(5) Describe in your application for certification how you plan to
use the provisions of this section and any steps you plan to take under
paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
(6) Keep records to document how many engines you produce under
this exemption. Also, keep records to document your contractual
agreements under paragraph (b)(3) of this section. Keep all these
records for five years after the end of the model year and make them
available to us upon request.
(7) Make sure the engine has the emission control information label
we require under the standard-setting part.
(c) If you do not include the cost of all aftertreatment components
in the cost of the engine, you must meet all the conditions described
in paragraphs (b)(1) through (7) of this section, with the following
additional provisions:
(1) The contractual agreement described in paragraph (b)(3) of this
section must include a commitment that the vehicle manufacturer will do
the following things:
(i) Separately purchase the aftertreatment components you have
specified in your application for certification.
(ii) Perform audits as described in paragraph (c)(3) of this
section.
(2) Before you ship an engine under the provisions of this
paragraph (c), you must have written confirmation that the vehicle
manufacturer has ordered the appropriate aftertreatment components.
(3) You must audit vehicle manufacturers as follows:
(i) If you sell engines to 16 or more vehicle manufacturers under
the provisions of this section, you must annually audit four vehicle
manufacturers to whom you sell engines under this section. To select
individual vehicle manufacturers, divide all the affected vehicle
manufacturers into quartiles based on the number of engines they buy
from you; select a single vehicle manufacturer from each quartile each
model year. Vary the vehicle manufacturers you audit from year to year,
though you may repeat an audit in a later model year if you find or
suspect that a particular vehicle manufacturer is not properly
installing aftertreatment devices.
(ii) If you sell engines to fewer than 16 vehicle manufacturers
under the provisions of this section, set up a plan to audit each
vehicle manufacturer on average once every four model years.
(iii) Starting with the 2014 model year, if you sell engines to
fewer than 40 vehicle manufacturers under the provisions of this
section, you may ask us to approve a reduced auditing rate. We may
approve an alternate plan that involves auditing each vehicle
manufacturer on average once every ten model years, as long as you show
that you have met the auditing requirements in preceding years without
finding noncompliance or improper procedures.
(iv) Audits must involve the assembling companies' facilities,
procedures, and production records to monitor their compliance with
your instructions, must include investigation of some assembled
engines, and must confirm that the number of aftertreatment devices
shipped were sufficient for the number of engines produced. Where a
vehicle manufacturer is not located in the United States, you may
conduct the audit at a distribution or port facility in the United
States.
(v) If you produce engines and use them to produce vehicles under
the provisions of this section, you must take steps to ensure that your
facilities, procedures, and production records are set up to ensure
compliance with the provisions of this section, but you may meet your
auditing responsibilities under this paragraph (c)(3) of this section
by maintaining a database showing how you pair aftertreatment
components with the appropriate engines.
(vi) You must keep records of these audits for five years after the
end of the model year and provide a report to us describing any
uninstalled or improperly installed aftertreatment components. Send us
these reports within 90 days of the audit, except as specified in
paragraph (f) of this section.
(4) In your application for certification, give a detailed plan for
auditing vehicle manufacturers, as described in paragraph (c)(3) of
this section.
(d) An engine you produce under this section becomes new when it is
fully assembled, except for aftertreatment devices, for the first time.
Use this date to determine the engine's model year.
(e) Once the vehicle manufacturer takes possession of an engine
exempted under this section, the exemption expires and the engine is
subject to all the prohibitions in CleanAir Act section 203 (42 U.S.C.
7522).
(f) You must notify us within 15 days if you find from an audit or
another source that a vehicle manufacturer has failed to meet its
obligations under this section.
(g) We may suspend, revoke, or void an exemption under this
section, as follows:
(1) We may suspend or revoke your exemption for the entire engine
family if we determine that any of the engines are not in their
certified configuration after installation in the vehicle, or if you
fail to comply with the requirements of this section. If we suspend or
revoke the exemption for any of your engine families under this
paragraph (g), this exemption will not apply for future certificates
unless you demonstrate that the factors causing the nonconformity do
not apply to the other engine families. We may suspend or revoke the
exemption for shipments to a single facility where final assembly
occurs.
(2) We may void your exemption for the entire engine family if you
intentionally submit false or incomplete information or fail to keep
and provide to EPA the records required by this section.
[[Page 40432]]
(h) You are liable for the in-use compliance of any engine that is
exempt under this section.
(i) It is a violation of the Act for any person to complete
assembly of the exempted engine without complying fully with the
installation instructions.
(j) [Reserved]
(k) You may ask us to provide a temporary exemption to allow you to
complete production of your engines at different facilities, as long as
you maintain control of the engines until they are in their certified
configuration. We may require you to take specific steps to ensure that
such engines are in their certified configuration before reaching the
ultimate purchaser. You may request an exemption under this paragraph
(k) in your application for certification, or in a separate submission.

28. Section 86.447-2006 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 86.447-2006 What provisions apply to motorcycle engines below 50
cc that are certified under the Small SI program or the Recreational-
vehicle program?
(a) General provisions. If you are an engine manufacturer, this
section allows you to introduce into commerce a new highway motorcycle
(that is, a motorcycle that is a motor vehicle) if it has an engine
below 50 cc that is already certified to the requirements that apply to
engines or vehicles under 40 CFR part 90 or 1051 for the appropriate
model year. If you comply with all the provisions of this section, we
consider the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 90 or 1051 for each
engine or vehicle to also be a valid certificate of conformity under
this part 86 for its model year, without a separate application for
certification under the requirements of this part 86. See Sec. 86.448-
2006 for similar provisions that apply to vehicles that are certified
to chassis-based standards under 40CFR part 1051.
(b) Vehicle-manufacturer provisions. If you are not an engine
manufacturer, you may produce highway motorcycles using nonroad engines
below 50 cc under this section as long as you meet all the requirements
and conditions specified in paragraph (d) of this section. If you
modify the nonroad engine in any of the ways described in paragraph
(d)(2) of this section for installation in a highway motorcycle, we
will consider you a manufacturer of a new highway motorcycle. Such
engine modifications prevent you from using the provisions of this
section.
(c) Liability. Engines for which you meet the requirements of this
section, and vehicles containing these engines, are exempt from all the
requirements and prohibitions of this part, except for those specified
in this section. Engines and vehicles exempted under this section must
meet all the applicable requirements from 40 CFR part 90 or 1051. This
applies to engine manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers who use these
engines, and all other persons as if these engines were used in
recreational vehicles or other nonroad applications. The prohibited
acts of 42 U.S.C. 7522 apply to these new highway motorcycles; however,
we consider the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 90 or 1051 for
each engine to also be a valid certificate of conformity under this
part 86 for its model year. If we make a determination that these
engines do not conform to the regulations during their useful life, we
may require you to recall them under 40 CFR part 86, 90, or 1068.
(d) Specific requirements. If you are an engine or vehicle
manufacturer and meet all the following criteria and requirements
regarding your new engine or vehicle, the highway motorcycle is
eligible for an exemption under this section:
(1) Your engine must be below 50 cc and must be covered by a valid
certificate of conformity for Class II engines issued under 40 CFR part
90 or for recreational vehicles under 40 CFR part 1051.
(2) You must not make any changes to the certified engine that
could reasonably be expected to increase its exhaust emissions for any
pollutant, or its evaporative emissions, if applicable. For example, if
you make any of the following changes to one of these engines, you do
not qualify for this exemption:
(i) Change any fuel system or evaporative system parameters from
the certified configuration.
(ii) Change, remove, or fail to properly install any other
component, element of design, or calibration specified in the engine
manufacturer's application for certification. This includes
aftertreatment devices and all related components.
(iii) Modify or design the engine cooling system so that
temperatures or heat rejection rates are outside the original engine
manufacturer's specified ranges.
(3) You must show that fewer than 50 percent of the engine family's
total sales in the United States are used in highway motorcycles. This
includes engines used in any application, without regard to which
company manufactures the vehicle or equipment. In addition, if you
manufacture highway motorcycles, you must show that fewer than 50
percent of the engine family's total sales in the United States are
highway motorcycles. Show that you meet the engine-sales criterion as
follows:
(i) If you are the original manufacturer of the engine, base this
showing on your sales information.
(ii) In all other cases, you must get the original manufacturer of
the engine to confirm the engine sales volumes based on its sales
information.
(4) You must ensure that the engine has the label we require under
40 CFR part 90 or 1051.
(5) You must add a permanent supplemental label to the engine in a
position where it will remain clearly visible after installation in the
vehicle. In the supplemental label, do the following:
(i) Include the heading: ``HIGHWAY MOTORCYCLE ENGINE EMISSION
CONTROL INFORMATION''.
(ii) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may
instead include the full corporate name and trademark of another
company you choose to designate.
(iii) State: ``THIS ENGINE WAS ADAPTED FOR HIGHWAY USE
WITHOUTAFFECTING ITS EMISSION CONTROLS.''.
(iv) State the date you finished installation (month and year), if
applicable.
(6) Send the Designated Compliance Officer a signed letter by the
end of each calendar year (or less often if we tell you) with all the
following information:
(i) Identify your full corporate name, address, and telephone
number.
(ii) List the engine or vehicle models you expect to produce under
this exemption in the coming year.
(iii) State: ``We produce each listed [engine or vehicle] model for
without making any changes that could increase its certified emission
levels, as described in 40 CFR 86.447-2006.''.
(e) Failure to comply. If your highway motorcycles do not meet the
criteria listed in paragraph (d) of this section, they will be subject
to the standards,
[[Page 40436]]
requirements, and prohibitions of this part 86 and the certificate
issued under 40 CFR part 90 or 1051 will not be deemed to also be a
certificate issued under this part 86. Introducing these engines into
commerce without a valid exemption or certificate of conformity under
this part violates the prohibitions in 40 CFR part 85.
(f) Data submission. We may require you to send us emission test
data on any applicable nonroad duty cycles.
(g) Participation in averaging, banking and trading. Engines or
vehicles adapted for recreational use under this section may not
generate or use emission credits under this part 86. These engines or
vehicles may generate credits under the ABT provisions in 40 CFR part
90 or 1051. These engines or vehicles must use emission credits under
40 CFR part 90 or 1051 if they are certified to an FEL that exceeds an
applicable standard.

29. Section 86.448-2006 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 86.448-2006 What provisions apply to vehicles certified under
the Recreational-vehicle program?
(a) General provisions. If you are a highway-motorcycle
manufacturer, this section allows you to introduce into commerce a new
highway motorcycle with an engine below 50 cc if it is already
certified to the requirements that apply to recreational vehicles under
40 CFR parts 1051. A highway motorcycle is a motorcycle that is a motor
vehicle. If you comply with all of the provisions of this section, we
consider the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 1051 for each
recreational vehicle to also be a valid certificate of conformity for
the motor vehicle under this part 86 for its model year, without a
separate application for certification under the requirements of this
part 86. See Sec. 86.447-2006 for similar provisions that apply to
nonroad engines produced for highway motorcycles.
(b) Nonrecreational-vehicle provisions. If you are not a
recreational-vehicle manufacturer, you may produce highway motorcycles
from recreational vehicles with engines below 50 cc under this section
as long as you meet all the requirements and conditions specified in
paragraph (d) of this section. If you modify the recreational vehicle
or its engine in any of the ways described in paragraph (d)(2) of this
section for installation in a highway motorcycle, we will consider you
a manufacturer of a new highway motorcycle. Such modifications prevent
you from using the provisions of this section.
(c) Liability. Vehicles for which you meet the requirements of this
section are exempt from all the requirements and prohibitions of this
part, except for those specified in this section. Engines and vehicles
exempted under this section must meet all the applicable requirements
from 40 CFR part 1051. This applies to engine manufacturers, vehicle
manufacturers, and all other persons as if the highway motorcycles were
recreational vehicles. The prohibited acts of 42 U.S.C. 7522 apply to
these new highway motorcycles; however, we consider the certificate
issued under 40 CFR part 1051 for each recreational vehicle to also be
a valid certificate of conformity for the highway motorcycle under this
part 86 for its model year. If we make a determination that these
engines or vehicles do not conform to the regulations during their
useful life, we may require you to recall them under 40 CFR part 86 or
40 CFR 1068.505.
(d) Specific requirements. If you are a recreational-vehicle
manufacturer and meet all the following criteria and requirements
regarding your new highway motorcycle and its engine, the highway
motorcycle is eligible for an exemption under this section:
(1) Your motorcycle must have an engine below 50 cc and it must be
covered by a valid certificate of conformity as a recreational vehicle
issued under 40 CFR part 1051.
(2) You must not make any changes to the certified recreational
vehicle that we could reasonably expect to increase its exhaust
emissions for any pollutant, or its evaporative emissions if it is
subject to evaporative-emission standards. For example, if you make any
of the following changes, you do not qualify for this exemption:
(i) Change any fuel system parameters from the certified
configuration.
(ii) Change, remove, or fail to properly install any other
component, element of design, or calibration specified in the vehicle
manufacturer's application for certification. This includes
aftertreatment devices and all related components.
(iii) Modify or design the engine cooling system so that
temperatures or heat rejection rates are outside the original vehicle
manufacturer's specified ranges.
(3) You must show that fewer than 50 percent of the engine family's
total sales in the United States are used in highway motorcycles. This
includes highway and off-highway motorcycles, without regard to which
company completes the manufacturing of the highway motorcycle. Show
this as follows:
(i) If you are the original manufacturer of the vehicle, base this
showing on your sales information.
(ii) In all other cases, you must get the original manufacturer of
the vehicle to confirm this based on their sales information.
(4) The highway motorcycle must have the vehicle emission control
information we require under 40 CFR part 1051.
(5) You must add a permanent supplemental label to the highway
motorcycle in a position where it will remain clearly visible. In the
supplemental label, do the following:
(i) Include the heading: ``HIGHWAY MOTORCYCLE ENGINE EMISSION
CONTROL INFORMATION''.
(ii) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may
instead include the full corporate name and trademark of another
company you choose to designate.
(iii) State: ``THIS VEHICLE WAS ADAPTED FOR HIGHWAY USE WITHOUT
AFFECTING ITS EMISSION CONTROLS.''.
(iv) State the date you finished modifying the vehicle (month and
year), if applicable.
(6) Send the Designated Compliance Officer a signed letter by the
end of each calendar year (or less often if we tell you) with all the
following information:
(i) Identify your full corporate name, address, and telephone
number.
(ii) List the highway motorcycle models you expect to produce under
this exemption in the coming year.
(iii) State: ``We produced each listed highway motorcycle without
making any changes that could increase its certified emission levels,
as described in 40 CFR 86.448-2006.''.
(e) Failure to comply. If your highway motorcycles do not meet the
criteria listed in paragraph (d) of this section, they will be subject
to the standards, requirements, and prohibitions of this part 86 and 40
CFR part 85, and the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 1051 will not
be deemed to also be a certificate issued under this part 86.
Introducing these motorcycles into commerce without a valid exemption
or certificate of conformity under this part violates the prohibitions
in 40 CFR part 85.
(f) Data submission. We may require you to send us emission test
data on the duty cycle for Class I motorcycles.
(g) Participation in averaging, banking and trading. Recreational
vehicles adapted for use as highway motorcycles under this section may
not generate or use emission credits under this part 86. These engines
may generate credits under the ABT provisions in 40 CFR part 1051.
These engines must use emission credits under 40 CFR part
[[Page 40437]]
1051 if they are certified to an FEL that exceeds an applicable
standard.

(a) Generating transient test cycles. The heavy-duty transient
engine cycles for Otto-cycle and diesel engines are listed in Appendix
I((f) (1), (2) and (3)) to this part. These second-by-second listings
represent torque and rpm maneuvers characteristic of heavy-duty
engines. Both rpm and torque are normalized (expressed as a percentage
of maximum) in these listings.
(1) To unnormalize rpm, use the following equations:
(i) For diesel engines:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13JY05.001
Where:
MaxTestSpeed = the maximum test speed as calculated in 40 CFR part
1065.
(ii) For Otto-cycle engines:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13JY05.002
Where:
MaxTestSpeed = the maximum test speed as calculated in 40 CFR part
1065.
(2) Torque is normalized to the maximum torque at the rpm listed
with it. Therefore, to unnormalize the torque values in the cycle, the
maximum torque curve for the engine in question must be used. The
generation of the
[[Page 40439]]
maximum torque curve is described in 40 CFR part 1065.
(b) Example of the unnormalization procedure. Unnormalize the
following test point, given Maximum Test speed = 3800 rpm and Curb Idle
Speed = 600 rpm.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13JY05.003
(1) Calculate actual rpm:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13JY05.004
(2) Determine actual torque: Determine the maximum observed torque
at 1829 rpm from the maximum torque curve. Then multiply this value
(e.g., 358 ft-lbs) by 0.82. This results in an actual torque of 294 ft-
lbs.
(c) Clutch operation. Manual transmission engines may be tested
with a clutch. If used, the clutch shall be disengaged at all zero
percent speeds, zero percent torque points, but may be engaged up to
two points preceding a non-zero point, and may be engaged for time
segments with zero percent speed and torque points of durations less
than four seconds. (See 40 CFR 1065.514 for allowances in the cycle
validation criteria.)

(b) Test cycle. (1) Perform testing as described in Sec. 86.1362-
2007 for determining whether an engine meets the applicable standards
when measured over the supplemental emission test.
(2) For engines not certified to a NOX standard or FEL
less than 1.5 g/bhp-hr, EPA may select, and require the manufacturer to
conduct the test using, up to three discrete test points within the
control area defined in paragraph (d) of this section. EPA will notify
the manufacturer of these supplemental test points in writing in a
timely manner before the test. Emission sampling for these discrete
test modes must include all regulated pollutants except particulate
matter.

\1\ Speed terms are defined in 40 CFR part 1065.
\2\ The percent torque is relative to the maximum torque at the commanded test speed.
\3\ The percent torque is relative to maximum torque at the commanded engine speed.
(b) Prior to beginning the test sequence, the engine must be
warmed-up according to the procedures in Sec. 86.1332-90(d)(3)(i)
through (iv).
(c) The test must be performed in the order of the mode numbers in
paragraph (a) of this section. Where applicable, the EPA-selected test
points identified under Sec. 86.1360-2007(b)(2) must be performed
immediately upon completion of mode 13. The engine must be operated for
the prescribed time in each mode, completing engine speed and load
changes in the first 20 seconds of each mode. The specified speed must
be held to within50 rpm and the specified torque must be
held to within plus or minus two percent of the maximum torque at the
test speed.
(d) One filter shall be used for sampling PM over the 13-mode test
procedure. The modal weighting factors specified in paragraph (a) of
this section shall be taken into account by taking a sample
proportional to the exhaust mass flow during each individual mode of
the cycle. This can be achieved by adjusting sample flow rate, sampling
time, and/or dilution ratio, accordingly, so that the criterion for the
effective weighting factors is met. The sampling time per mode must be
at least 4 seconds per 0.01 weighting factor. Sampling must be
conducted as late as possible within each mode. Particulate sampling
shall be completed no earlier than 5 seconds before the end of each
mode.
(e) The test must be conducted with all emission-related engine
control variables in the highest brake-specific NOX
emissions state which could be encountered for a 30 second or longer
averaging period at the given test point and for the conditions under
which the engine is being tested.
(f) Manufacturers must follow the exhaust emissions sample analysis
procedures under Sec. 86.1340, and the calculation formulas and
procedures under Sec. 86.1342, for the 13-mode cycle and the 3 EPA-
selected test points as applicable for steady-state testing, including
the NOX correction factor for humidity.
(g) Calculate the weighted average emissions as follows:
(1) For each regulated gaseous pollutant, calculate the weighted
average emissions using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13JY05.005
Where:
AWA = Weighted average emissions for each regulated gaseous
pollutant, in grams per brake horse-power hour.
AM = Modal average mass emissions level, in grams per hour.
Mass emissions must be calculated as described in Sec. 86.1342.
AP = Modal average power, in brake horse-power. Any power
measured during the idle mode (mode 1) is not included in this
calculation.
WF = Weighting factor corresponding to each mode of the
steady-state test cycle, as defined in paragraph (a) of this section.
i = The modes of the steady-state test cycle defined in paragraph (a)
of this section.
n = 13, corresponding to the 13 modes of the steady-state test cycle
defined in paragraph (a) of this section.
(2) For PM measurements, a single filter must be used to measure PM
over the 13 modes. The brake-specific PM emission level for the test
must be calculated as described for a transient hot start test in Sec.
86.1343. Only the power measured during the sampling period shall be
used in the calculation.
(h) The test fuel used for supplemental steady-state testing under
this section must meet the requirements of Sec. 86.1313.
(i) Ambient conditions, charge cooling specifications, and intake
and exhaust restrictions for supplemental steady-state testing and
maximum allowable emission limit testing under this section must meet
the requirements of Sec. 86.1330.

Sec. 89.419 Dilute gaseous exhaust sampling and analytical system
description.
(a) General. The exhaust gas sampling system described in this
section is designed to measure the true mass of gaseous emissions in
the exhaust of petroleum-fueled nonroad compression-ignition engines.
This system utilizes the CVS concept (described in 40CFR part 1065,
subparts A and B) of measuring mass emissions of HC, CO, and
CO2. A continuously integrated system is required for HC and
NOX measurement and is allowed for all CO and CO2
measurements. The mass of gaseous emissions is determined from the
sample concentration and total flow over the test period. As an option,
the measurement of total fuel mass consumed over a cycle may be
substituted for the exhaust measurement of CO2. General
requirements are as follows:
* * * * *
(3) * * *
(i) Bag sampling (see 40 CFR part 1065) and analytical capabilities
(see 40 CFR part 1065), as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 in appendix A
to this subpart; or
* * * * *
(b) * * *
(1) Exhaust dilution system. The PDP-CVS shall conform to all of
the requirements listed for the exhaust gas PDP-CVS in 40 CFR part
1065. The CFV-CVS shall conform to all the requirements listed for the
exhaust gas CFV-CVS in 40 CFR part 1065. In addition, the CVS must
conform to the following requirements:
* * * * *
(2) * * *
(i) The continuous HC sample system (as shown in Figure 2 or 3 in
appendix A to this subpart) uses an ``overflow'' zero and span system.
In this type of system, excess zero or span gas spills out of the probe
when zero and span checks of the analyzer are made. The ``overflow''
system may also be used to calibrate the HC analyzer according to 40
CFR part 1065, subpart F, although this is not required.
* * * * *
(v) * * *
(B) Have a wall temperature of 191 [deg]C 11 [deg]C
over its entire length. The temperature of the system shall be
demonstrated by profiling the thermal characteristics of the system
where possible at initial installation and after
[[Page 40446]]
any major maintenance performed on the system. The profiling shall be
accomplished using the insertion thermocouple probing technique. The
system temperature will be monitored continuously during testing at the
locations and temperature described in 40 CFR 1065.145.
* * * * *
(4) * * *
(ii) The continuous NOX, CO, or CO2 sampling
and analysis system shall conform to the specifications of 40 CFR
1065.145 with the following exceptions and revisions:
(A) The system components required to be heated by 40 CFR 1065.145
need only be heated to prevent water condensation, the minimum
component temperature shall be 55 [deg]C.
(B) The system response shall meet the specifications in 40 CFR
part 1065, subpart C.
(C) Alternative NOX measurement techniques outlined in
40 CFR part 1065, subpart D, are not permitted for NOX
measurement in this subpart.
(D) All analytical gases must conform to the specifications of
Sec. 89.312.
(E) Any range on a linear analyzer below 155 ppm must have and use
a calibration curve conforming to Sec. 89.310.
(iii) The chart deflections or voltage output of analyzers with
non-linear calibration curves shall be converted to concentration
values by the calibration curve(s) specified in Sec. 89.313 before
flow correction (if used) and subsequent integration takes place.

read as follows:
Sec. 89.421 Exhaust gas analytical system; CVS bag sample.
* * * * *
(b) Major component description. The analytical system, Figure 4 in
appendix A to this subpart, consists of a flame ionization detector
(FID) (heated for petroleum-fueled compression-ignition engines to 191
[deg]C 6 [deg]C) for the measurement of hydrocarbons,
nondispersive infrared analyzers (NDIR) for the measurement of carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide, and a chemiluminescence detector (CLD) (or
HCLD) for the measurement of oxides of nitrogen. The exhaust gas
analytical system shall conform to the following requirements:
(1) The CLD (or HCLD) requires that the nitrogen dioxide present in
the sample be converted to nitric oxide before analysis. Other types of
analyzers may be used if shown to yield equivalent results and if
approved in advance by the Administrator.
(2) If CO instruments are used which are essentially free of
CO2 and water vapor interference, the use of the
conditioning column may be deleted. (See 40 CFR part 1065, subpart D.)
(3) A CO instrument will be considered to be essentially free of
CO2 and water vapor interference if its response to a
mixture of 3 percent CO2 in N2, which has been bubbled
through water at room temperature, produces an equivalent CO response,
as measured on the most sensitive CO range, which is less than 1
percent of full scaleCO concentration on ranges above 300 ppm full
scale or less than 3 ppm on ranges below 300 ppm full scale. (See 40
CFR part 1065, subpart D.)
(c) Alternate analytical systems. Alternate analysis systems
meeting the specifications of 40 CFR part 1065, subpart A, may be used
for the testing required under this subpart. Heated analyzers may be
used in their heated configuration.

(b) * * *
(2) An evaluation of the effects of test measurement systems on
engine emissions shall be conducted using good engineering judgment to
ensure that such test systems do not significantly impact exhaust
emissions from the engine. For example, this would require evaluation
of all types of emission sampling systems, and of fuel- and air-flow
measurement systems for raw sampling. This can be accomplished by
operating the engine at the highest engine torque value that will be
encountered on the test cycle before and after such test systems are
installed to ensure that the impact on measured torque is less than 5
percent. This may also be accomplished by measuring air-to-fuel ratio
using a zirconia universal exhaust gas oxygen (UEGO) sensor to ensure
that the impact on measured air-to-fuel ratio is less than 5 percent at
the highest engine torque value that will be encountered on the test
cycle before and after such test systems are installed. The impact of
air- and fuel-flow measurement systems may be evaluated based on an
engineering analysis of the impact of the change in pressure induced on
air-intake pressure and fuel supply pressure by these measurement
systems. While this would typically be done before testing, it may also
be done as a post-test verification.

Calibration means the set of specifications, including tolerances,
specific to a particular design, version, or application of a
component, or components, or assembly capable of functionally
describing its operation over its working range. This definition does
apply to Subpart B of this part.
* * * * *
Locomotive means a self-propelled piece of on-track equipment
designed for moving or propelling cars that are designed to carry
freight, passengers or other equipment, but which itself is not
designed or intended to carry freight, passengers (other than those
operating the locomotive) or other equipment. The following other
equipment are not locomotives (see 40 CFR parts 86 and 89 for this
equipment):
(1) Equipment which is designed for operation both on highways and
rails are not locomotives.
(2) Specialized railroad equipment for maintenance, construction,
post accident recovery of equipment, and repairs; and other similar
equipment, are not locomotives.
(3) Vehicles propelled by engines with total rated horsepower of
less than 750 kW (1006 hp) are not locomotives (see 40 CFR parts 86 and
89 for this equipment), unless the owner (including manufacturers)
chooses to have the equipment certified under the requirements of this
part. Where equipment is certified as a locomotive pursuant to this
paragraph (3), it shall be subject to the requirements of this part for
the remainder of its service life. For locomotives propelled by two or
more engines, the total rated horsepower is the sum of the rated
horsepowers of each engine.

as selling it, you need to certify the engine. We will issue a
certificate of conformity if you send us an application for
certification showing that you meet all the applicable requirements
from this part 94 and pay the appropriate fee. Also, in some cases, we
may allow manufacturers to modify the engine as needed to make it
identical to engines already covered by a certificate. We would base
such an approval on our review of any appropriate documentation.
Theseengines must have emission control information labels that
accurately describe their status.

184. Section 94.907 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 94.907 Engine dressing exemption.
(a) General provisions. If you are an engine manufacturer, this
section allows you to introduce new marine engines into commerce if
they are already certified to the requirements that apply to
compression-ignition engines under 40 CFR parts 85 and 86 or 40 CFR
part 89, 92 or 1039 for the appropriate model year. If you comply with
all the provisions of this section, we consider the certificate issued
under 40 CFR part 86, 89, 92, or 1039 for each engine to also be a
valid certificate of conformity under this part 94 for its model year,
without a separate application for certification under the requirements
of this part 94.
(b) Boat-builder provisions. If you are not an engine manufacturer,
you may install an engine certified for the appropriate model year
under 40 CFR part 86, 89, 92, or 1039 in a marine vessel as long as you
do not make any of the changes described in paragraph(d)(3) of this
section and you meet the requirements of paragraph (e) of this section.
If you modify the non-marine engine in any of the ways described in
paragraph (d)(3) of this section, we will consider you a manufacturer
of a new marine engine. Such engine modifications prevent you from
using the provisions of this section.
(c) Liability. Engines for which you meet the requirements of this
section are exempt from all the requirements and prohibitions of this
part, except for those specified in this section. Engines exempted
under this section must meet all the applicable requirements from 40
CFR parts 85 and 86 or 40 CFR part 89, 92, or 1039. This paragraph (c)
applies to engine manufacturers, boat builders who use such an engine,
and all other persons as if the engine were used in its originally
intended application. The prohibited acts of Sec. 94.1103(a)(1) apply
to these new engines and vessels; however, we consider the certificate
issued under 40 CFR part 86, 89, 92, or 1039 for each engine to also be
a valid certificate of conformity under this part 94 for its model
year. If we make a determination that these engines do not conform to
the regulations during their useful life, we may require you to recall
them under this part 94 or under 40 CFR part 85, 89, 92, or 1039.
(d) Specific requirements. If you are an engine manufacturer and
meet all the following criteria and requirements regarding your new
marine engine, the engine is eligible for an exemption under this
section:
(1) You must produce it by marinizing an engine covered by a valid
certificate of conformity from one of the following programs:
(i) Heavy-duty highway engines (40 CFR part 86).
(ii) Land-based nonroad diesel engines (40 CFR part 89 or 1039).
(iii) Locomotive engines (40 CFR part 92).
(2) The engine must have the label required under 40 CFR part 86,
89, 92, or 1039.
(3) You must not make any changes to the certified engine that
could reasonably be expected to increase its emissions. For example, if
you make any of the following changes to one of these engines, you do
not qualify for the engine dressing exemption:
(i) Change any fuel system parameters from the certified
configuration, or change, remove, or fail to properly install any other
component, element of design, or calibration specified in the engine
manufacturer's application for certification. This includes
aftertreatment devices and all related components.
(ii) Replacing an original turbocharger, except that small-volume
manufacturers of recreational engines may replace an original
turbocharger with one that matches the performance of the original
turbocharger.
(iii) Modify or design the marine engine cooling or aftercooling
system so that temperatures or heat rejection rates are outside the
original engine manufacturer's specified ranges.
(4) You must show that fewer than 50 percent of the engine family's
total sales in the United States are used in marine applications. This
includes engines used in any application, without regard to which
company manufactures the vessel orequipment. Show this as follows:
(i) If you are the original manufacturer of the engine, base this
showing on your sales information.
(ii) In all other cases, you must get the original manufacturer of
the engine to confirm this based on its sales information.
(e) If you are an engine manufacturer or boat builder using this
exemption, you must do all of the following:
(1) Make sure the original engine label will remain clearly visible
after installation in the vessel.
(2) Add a permanent supplemental label to the engine in a position
where it will remain clearly visible after installation in the vessel.
In your engine label, do the following:
(i) Include the heading: ``Marine Engine Emission Control
Information''.
[[Page 40460]]
(ii) Include your full corporate name and trademark.
(iii) State: ``This engine was marinized without affecting its
emission controls.''
(iv) State the date you finished marinizing the engine (month and
year).
(3) Send a signed letter to the Designated Officer by the end of
each calendar year (or less often if we tell you) with all the
following information:
(i) Identify your full corporate name, address, and telephone
number.
(ii) List the engine models for which you expect to use this
exemption in the coming year and describe your basis for meeting the
sales restrictions of paragraph (d)(4) of this section.
(iii) State: ``We prepare each listed engine model for marine
application without making any changes that could increase its
certified emission levels, as described in 40 CFR 94.907.''
(f) Engine inventories. In general you may use up your inventory of
engines that are not certified to new marine emission standards if they
were originally manufactured before the date of the new standards.
However, stockpiling these engines is a violation of Sec.
94.1103(a)(1)(i)(A).
(g) Failure to comply. If your engines do not meet the criteria
listed in paragraph (d) of this section, they will be subject to the
standards, requirements, and prohibitions of this part 94 and the
certificate issued under 40 CFR part 86, 89, 92, or 1039 will not be
deemed to also be a certificate issued under this part 94. Introducing
these engines into commerce without a valid exemption or certificate of
conformity under this part violates the prohibitions in 40 CFR
94.1103(a)(1).
(h) Data submission. (1) If you are the original manufacturer and
marinizer of an exempted engine, you must send us emission test data on
the appropriate marine duty cycles. You can include the data in your
application for certification or in the letter described in paragraph
(e)(3) of this section.
(2) If you are the original manufacturer of an exempted engine that
is marinized by a post-manufacture marinizer, you may be required to
send us emission test data on the appropriate marine duty cycles. If
such data are requested you will be allowed a reasonable amount of time
to collect the data.
(i) Participation in averaging, banking and trading. Engines
adapted for marine use under this section may not generate or use
emission credits under this part 94. These engines may generate credits
under the ABT provisions in 40 CFR part 86, 89, 92, or 1039, as
applicable. These engines must use emission credits under 40 CFR part
86, 89, 92, or 1039 as applicable if they are certified to an FEL that
exceeds an applicable standard.
(j) Operator requirements. The requirements for vessel
manufacturers, owners, and operators in subpart K of this part apply to
these engines whether they are certified under this part 94 or another
part as allowed by this section.
0
185. A new Sec. 94.912 is added to subpart J to read as follows:
Sec. 94.912 Optional certification to land-based standards for
auxiliary marine engines.
This section applies to auxiliary marine engines that are identical
to certified land-based engines. See Sec. 94.907 for provisions that
apply to propulsion marine engines or auxiliary marine engines that are
modified for marine applications.
(a) General provisions. If you are an engine manufacturer, this
section allows you to introduce new marine engines into commerce if
they are already certified to the requirements that apply to
compression-ignition engines under 40 CFR part 89 or 1039 for the
appropriate model year. If you comply with all the provisions of this
section, we consider the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 86 or
1039 for each engine to also be a valid certificate of conformity under
this part 94 for its model year, without a separate application for
certification under the requirements of this part 94.
(b) Boat builder provisions. If you are not an engine manufacturer,
you may install an engine certified for land-based applications in a
marine vessel as long as you meet all the qualifying criteria and
requirements specified in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section. If
you modify the non-marine engine, we will consider you a manufacturer
of a new marine engine. Such engine modifications prevent you from
using the provisions of this section.
(c) Liability. Engines for which you meet the requirements of this
section are exempt from all the requirements and prohibitions of this
part, except for those specified in this section. Engines exempted
under this section must meet all the applicable requirements from 40
CFR part 89 or 1039. This paragraph (c) applies to engine
manufacturers, boat builders who use such an engine, and all other
persons as if the engine were used in its originally intended
application. The prohibited acts of Sec. 94.1103(a)(1) apply to these
new engines and vessels; however, we consider the certificate issued
under 40 CFR part 89 or 1039 for each engine to also be a valid
certificate of conformity under this part 94 for its model year. If we
make a determination that these engines do not conform to the
regulations during their useful life, we may require you to recall them
under this part 94 or under 40 CFR part 89 or 1068.
(d) Qualifying criteria. If you are an engine manufacturer and meet
all the following criteria and requirements regarding your new marine
engine, the engine is eligible for an exemption under this section:
(1) The marine engine must be identical in all material respects to
a land-based engine covered by a valid certificate of conformity for
the appropriate model year showing that it meets emission standards for
engines of that power rating under 40 CFR part 89 or 1039.
(2) The engines may not be used as propulsion marine engines.
(3) You must show that the number of auxiliary marine engines from
the engine family must be smaller than the number of land-based engines
from the engine family sold in the United States, as follows:
(i) If you are the original manufacturer of the engine, base this
showing on your sales information.
(ii) In all other cases, you must get the original manufacturer of
the engine to confirm this based on its sales information.
(e) Specific requirements. If you are an engine manufacturer or
boat builder using this exemption, you must do all of the following:
(1) Make sure the original engine label will remain clearly visible
after installation in the vessel. This label or a supplemental label
must identify that the original certification is valid for marine
auxiliary applications.
(2) Send a signed letter to the Designated Officer by the end of
each calendar year (or less often if we tell you) with all the
following information:
(i) Identify your full corporate name, address, and telephone
number.
(ii) List the engine models you expect to produce under this
exemption in the coming year.
(iii) State: ``We produce each listed engine model for marine
application without making any changes that could increase its
certified emission levels, as described in 40 CFR 94.907.''
(3) If you are the certificate holder, you must describe in your
application for certification how you plan to produce engines for both
land-based and auxiliary marine applications, including projected sales
of auxiliary marine engines to the extent this can be determined. If
the projected marine sales are substantial, we may ask for the
[[Page 40461]]
year-end report of production volumes to include actual auxiliary
marine engine sales.
(f) Failure to comply. If your engines do not meet the criteria
listed in paragraph (d) of this section, they will be subject to the
standards, requirements, and prohibitions of this part 94 and the
certificate issued under 40 CFR part 89 or 1039 will not be deemed to

provisions:
(i) The engine requiring replacement is not certified or is
certified to emission standards that are less stringent than those in
effect when the replacement engine is built.
(ii) The engine manufacturer or its agent takes ownership and
possession of the engine being replaced or confirms that the engine has
been destroyed.
(iii) If the engine being replaced was not certified to any
emission standards under this part, the replacement engine must have a
permanent label with your corporate name and trademark and the
following language, or similar alternate language approved by the
Administrator:
THIS ENGINE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH U.S. EPA MARINE EMISSION
REQUIREMENTS. SELLING OR INSTALLING THIS ENGINE FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER
THAN TO REPLACE A MARINE ENGINE BUILT BEFORE JANUARY 1, [Insert
appropriate year reflecting when the earliest tier of standards began
to apply to engines of that size and type] MAY BE A VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL LAW SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTY.
(iv) If the engine being replaced was certified to emission
standards less stringent than those in effect when you produce the
replacement engine, the replacement engine must have a permanent label
with your corporate name and trademark and the following language, or

THIS ENGINE COMPLIES WITH U.S. EPA MARINE EMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR
[Insert appropriate year reflecting when the Tier 1 or Tier 2 standards
for the replaced engine began to apply] ENGINES UNDER 40 CFR
94.1103(b)(3). SELLING OR INSTALLING THIS ENGINE FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER
THAN TO REPLACE A MARINE ENGINEBUILT BEFORE JANUARY 1, [Insert
appropriate year reflecting when the next tier of emission standards
began to apply] MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW SUBJECT TO CIVIL
PENALTY.
(v) Where the replacement engine is intended to replace an engine
that is certified to emission standards that are less stringent than
those in effect when the replacement engine is built, the replacement
engine shall be identical in all material respects to a certified
configuration of the same or later model year as the engine being
replaced.
(vi) Engines sold pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph will
neither generate nor use emission credits and will not be part of any
accounting under the averaging, banking and trading program.
(vii) In cases where an engine is to be imported for replacement
purposes under the provisions of this paragraph (b)(3) of this section,
the term ``engine manufacturer'' shall not apply to an individual or
other entity that does not possess a current Certificate of Conformity
issued by EPA under this part; and
(viii) The provisions of this section may not be used to
circumventemission standards that apply to new engines under this part.
(4) An engine manufacturer may make the determination related to
replacement engines described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section
instead
[[Page 40462]]
of the Administrator, if the new engine is needed to replace an engine
that has experienced catastrophic failure. The engine manufacturer must
consider whether certified engines are available from its own product
lineup or that of the manufacturer of the engine being replaced (if
different). The engine manufacturer must keep records explaining why a
certified engine was not available and make these records available
upon request.

Aftertreatment, Brake power, Constant-speed operation, Exempted, Good
engineering judgment, Marineengine, Marine vessel, Maximum test speed,
Motor vehicle, Revoke, Suspend,United States, and Void and adding a
definition for Amphibious vehicle to read as follows:
Sec. 1039.801 What definitions apply to this part?
* * * * *
Aftertreatment means relating to a catalytic converter, particulate
filter, or any other system, component, or technology mounted
downstream of the exhaust valve (orexhaust port) whose design function
is to decrease emissions in the engine exhaust before it is exhausted
to the environment. Exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) and turbochargers
are not aftertreatment.
* * * * *
Amphibious vehicle means a vehicle with wheels or tracks that is
designed primarily for operation on land and secondarily for operation
in water.
* * * * *
Brake power means the usable power output of the engine, not
including power required to fuel, lubricate, or heat the engine,
circulate coolant to the engine, or to operateaftertreatment devices.
* * * * *
Constant-speed operation means engine operation with a governor
that controls the operator input to maintain an engine at a reference
speed, even under changing load. For example, an isochronous governor
changes reference speed temporarily during a load change, then returns
the engine to its original reference speed after the engine stabilizes.
Isochronous governors typically allow speed changes up to 1.0%. Another
example is a speed-droop governor, which has a fixed reference speed at
zero load and allows the reference speed to decrease as load increases.
With speed-droop governors, speed typically decreases (3 to 10)% below
the reference speed at zero load, such that the minimum reference speed
occurs near the engine's point of maximum power.
* * * * *
Exempted has the meaning we give in 40 CFR 1068.30.
* * * * *
Good engineering judgment has the meaning we give in 40 CFR
1068.30. See 40 CFR 1068.5 for the administrative process we use to
evaluate good engineering judgment.
* * * * *
Marine engine means a nonroad engine that is installed or intended
to be installed on a marine vessel. This includes a portable auxiliary
marine engine only if its fueling, cooling, or exhaust system is an
integral part of the vessel. There are two kinds of marineengines:
(1) Propulsion marine engine means a marine engine that moves a
vessel
[[Page 40465]]
through the water or directs the vessel's movement.
(2) Auxiliary marine engine means a marine engine not used for
propulsion.
Marine vessel has the meaning given in 1 U.S.C. 3, except that it
does not include amphibious vehicles. The definition in 1 U.S.C. 3 very
broadly includes every craft capable of being used as a means of
transportation on water.

215. Section 1048.10 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.10 How is this part organized?
The regulations in this part 1048 contain provisions that affect
both engine manufacturers and others. However, the requirements of this
part are generally addressed to the engine manufacturer. The term
``you'' generally means the engine manufacturer, as defined in Sec.
1048.801. This part 1048 is divided into the following subparts:
(a) Subpart A of this part defines the applicability of part 1048
and gives an overview of regulatory requirements.
(b) Subpart B of this part describes the emission standards and
other requirements that must be met to certify engines under this part.
Note that Sec. 1048.145 discusses certain interim requirements and
compliance provisions that apply only for a limited time.
(c) Subpart C of this part describes how to apply for a certificate
of conformity.
(d) Subpart D of this part describes general provisions for testing
production-line engines.
(e) Subpart E of this part describes general provisions for testing
in-use engines.
(f) Subpart F of this part describes how to test your engines
(including references to other parts of the Code of Federal
Regulations).
(g) Subpart G of this part and 40 CFR part 1068 describe
requirements, prohibitions, and other provisions that apply to engine
manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, owners, operators, rebuilders,
and all others.
(h) [Reserved]
(i) Subpart I of this part contains definitions and other reference
information.

216. Section 1048.15 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.15 Do any other regulation parts affect me?
(a) Part 1065 of this chapter describes procedures and equipment
specifications for testing engines. Subpart F of this part 1048
describes how to apply the provisions of part 1065 of this chapter to
determine whether engines meet the emission standards in this part.
(b) The requirements and prohibitions of part 1068 of this chapter
apply to everyone, including anyone who manufactures, imports,
installs, owns, operates, or rebuilds any of the engines subject to
this part 1048, or equipment containing these engines. Part 1068 of
this chapter describes general provisions, including these seven areas:
(1) Prohibited acts and penalties for engine manufacturers,
equipment manufacturers, and others.
(2) Rebuilding and other aftermarket changes.
(3) Exclusions and exemptions for certain engines.

217. Section 1048.20 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.20 What requirements from this part apply to excluded
stationary engines?
(a) You must add a permanent label or tag to each new engine you
produce or import that is excluded under Sec. 1048.1(c) as a
stationary engine. To meet labeling requirements, you must do the
following things:
(1) Attach the label or tag in one piece so no one can remove it
without destroying or defacing it.
(2) Secure it to a part of the engine needed for normal operation
and not normally requiring replacement.
(3) Make sure it is durable and readable for the engine's entire
life.
(4) Write it in English.
(5) Follow the requirements in Sec. 1048.135(g) regarding
duplicate labels if the engine label is obscured in the final
installation.
(b) Engine labels or tags required under this section must have the
following information:
(1) Include the heading ``EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION''.
(2) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may instead
include the full corporate name and trademark of another company you
choose to designate.
(3) State the engine displacement (in liters) and maximum engine
power.
(4) State: ``THIS ENGINE IS EXCLUDED FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF 40
CFR PART 1048 AS A ``STATIONARY ENGINE.'' INSTALLING ORUSING THIS
ENGINE IN ANY OTHER APPLICATION MAY BE AVIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW
SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTY.''.

218. Section 1048.101 is amended by revising the introductory text and
paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e), (g), and (h) to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.101 What exhaust emission standards must my engines meet?
The exhaust emission standards of this section apply by model year.
You may certify engines earlier than we require. The Tier 1 standards
apply only to steady-state testing, as described in paragraph (b) of
this section. The Tier 2 standards apply to steady-state, transient,
and field testing, as described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this
section.
(a) Emission standards for transient testing. Starting in the 2007
model year, transient exhaust emissions from your engines may not
exceed the Tier 2 emission standards, as follows:
(1) Measure emissions using the applicable transient test
procedures described in subpart F of this part.
(2) The Tier 2 HC+NOX standard is 2.7 g/kW-hr and the
Tier 2 CO standard is 4.4 g/kW-hr. For severe-duty engines, the Tier 2
HC+NOX standard is 2.7 g/kW-hr and the Tier 2 CO standard is
130.0 g/kW-hr. The following engines are not subject to the transient
standards in this paragraph (a):
(i) High-load engines.
(ii) Engines with maximum engine power above 560 kW.
(iii) Engines with maximum test speed above 3400 rpm.
(3) You may optionally certify your engines according to the
following formula instead of the standards in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section: (HC+NOX) x CO\0.784\ <= 8.57. The HC+NOX
and CO emission levels you select to satisfy this formula, rounded to
the nearest 0.1 g/kW-hr, become the emission standards that apply for
those engines. You may not select an HC+NOX emission
standard higher than 2.7 g/kW-hr or a CO emission standard higher than
20.6 g/kW-hr. The following table illustrates a range of possible
values under this paragraph (a)(3):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Standards for steady-state testing. Except as we allow in
paragraph (d) of this section, steady-state exhaust emissions from your
engines may not exceed emission standards, as follows:
(1) Measure emissions using the applicable steady-state test
procedures described in subpart F of this part:
(2) The following table shows the Tier 1 exhaust emission standards
that apply to engines from 2004 through 2006 model years:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Starting in the 2007 model year, steady-state exhaust emissions
from your engines may not exceed the numerical emission standards in
paragraph (a) of this section. See paragraph (d) of this section for
alternate standards that apply for certain engines.
(c) Standards for field testing. Starting in 2007, exhaust
emissions may not exceed field-testing standards, as follows:
(1) Measure emissions using the field-testing procedures in subpart
F of this part:
(2) The HC+NOX standard is 3.8 g/kW-hr and the CO
standard is 6.5 g/kW-hr. For severe-duty engines, the HC+NOX
standard is 3.8 g/kW-hr and the CO standard is 200.0 g/kW-hr. For
natural gas-fueled engines, you are not required to measure nonmethane
hydrocarbon emissions or total hydrocarbon emissions for testing to
show that the engine meets the emission standards of this paragraph
(c); that is, you may assume HC emissions are equal to zero.
(3) You may apply the following formula to determine alternate
emission standards that apply to your engines instead of the standards
in paragraph (c)(1) of this section: (HC+NOX) x
CO0.791 <= 16.78. HC+NOX emission levels may not
exceed 3.8 g/kW-hr and CO emission levels may not exceed 31.0 g/kW-hr.
The following table illustrates a range of possible values under this
paragraph (c)(2):

(e) Fuel types. The exhaust emission standards in this section
apply for engines using each type of fuel specified in 40 CFR part
1065, subpart H, on which the engines in the engine family are designed
to operate, except for engines certified under Sec. 1048.625. For
engines certified under Sec. 1048.625, the standards of this section
apply to emissions measured using the specified test fuel. You must
meet the numerical emission standards for hydrocarbons in this section
based on the following types of hydrocarbon emissions for engines
powered by the following fuels:
(1) Gasoline- and LPG-fueled engines: THC emissions.
(2) Natural gas-fueled engines: NMHC emissions.
(3) Alcohol-fueled engines: THCE emissions.
* * * * *
(g) Useful life. Your engines must meet the exhaust emission
standards in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section over their full
useful life. For severe-duty engines, the minimum useful life is 1,500
hours of operation or seven years, whichever comes first. For all other
engines, the minimum useful life is 5,000 hours of operation or seven
years, whichever comes first.
(1) Specify a longer useful life in hours for an engine family
under either of two conditions:
(i) If you design, advertise, or market your engine to operate
longer than the minimum useful life (your recommended hours until
rebuild may indicate a longer design life).
(ii) If your basic mechanical warranty is longer than the minimum
useful life.
(2) You may request in your application for certification that we
approve a shorter useful life for an engine family. We may approve a
shorter useful life, in hours of engine operation but not in years, if
we determine that these engines will rarely operate longer than the
shorter useful life. If engines identical to those in the engine family
have already been produced and are in use, your demonstration must
include documentation from such in-use engines. In other cases, your
demonstration must include an engineering analysis of information
equivalent to such in-use data, such as data from research engines or
similar engine models that are already in production. Your
demonstration must also include any overhaul interval that you
recommend, any mechanical warranty that you offer for the engine or its
components, and any relevant customer design specifications. Your
demonstration may include any other relevant information. The useful
life value may not be shorter than any of the following:
(i) 1,000 hours of operation.
(ii) Your recommended overhaul interval.
(iii) Your mechanical warranty for the engine.
(h) Applicability for testing. The emission standards in this
subpart apply to all testing, including certification, production-line,
and in-use testing. For production-line testing, you must perform duty-
cycle testing as specified in Sec. Sec. 1048.505 and 1048.510. The
field-testing standards of this section apply for those tests. You need
not do additional testing of production-line engines to show that your
engines meet the field-testing standards.

219. Section 1048.105 is amended by revising the section heading and
adding introductory text to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.105 What evaporative emission standards and requirements
apply?
The requirements of this section apply to all engines that are
subject to this part, except auxiliary marine engines.
* * * * *

220. Section 1048.115 is amended by removing and reserving paragraph
(d) and revising the introductory text and paragraphs (a), (b), (e),
and (g) to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.115 What other requirements must my engines meet?
Engines subject to this part must meet the following requirements:
(a) Crankcase emissions. Crankcase emissions may not be discharged
directly into the ambient atmosphere from any engine throughout its
useful life, except as follows:
(1) Engines may discharge crankcase emissions to the ambient
atmosphere if the emissions are added to the exhaust emissions (either
physically or mathematically) during all emission testing. If you take
advantage of this exception, you must do the following things:
(i) Manufacture the engines so that all crankcase emissions can be
routed into the applicable sampling systems specified in 40 CFR part
1065.
(ii) Account for deterioration in crankcase emissions when
determining exhaust deterioration factors.
(2) For purposes of this paragraph (a), crankcase emissions that
are routed to the exhaust upstream of exhaust aftertreatment during all
operation are not considered to be discharged directly into the ambient
atmosphere.
(b) Torque broadcasting. Electronically controlled engines must
broadcast their speed and output shaft torque (in newton-meters).
Engines may alternatively broadcast a surrogate value for determining
torque. Engines must broadcast engine parameters such that they can be
read with a remote device, or broadcast them directly to their
controller area networks. This information is necessary for testing
engines in the field (see Sec. 1048.515). This requirement applies
beginning in the 2007 model year. Small-volume engine manufacturers may
omit this requirement.
* * * * *
(e) Adjustable parameters. Engines that have adjustable parameters
must meet all the requirements of this part for any adjustment in the
physically adjustable range. An operating parameter is not considered
adjustable if you permanently seal it or if it is not normally
accessible using ordinary tools. We may require that you set adjustable
parameters to any specification within the adjustable range during any
testing, including certification testing, selective enforcement
auditing, or in-use testing.
* * * * *
(g) Defeat devices. You may not equip your engines with a defeat
device. A defeat device is an auxiliary emission-control device that
reduces the effectiveness of emission controls under conditions that
the engine may reasonably be expected to encounter during normal
operation and use. This does not apply to auxiliary-emission control
devices you identify in your certification application if any of the
following is true:
(1) The conditions of concern were substantially included in the
applicable test procedures described in subpart F of this part.
(2) You show your design is necessary to prevent engine (or
equipment) damage or accidents.
(3) The reduced effectiveness applies only to starting the engine.
0
221. Section 1048.120 is revised to read as follows:
[[Page 40468]]
Sec. 1048.120 What emission-related warranty requirements apply to
me?
(a) General requirements. You must warrant to the ultimate
purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the new nonroad engine,
including all parts of its emission-control system, meets two
conditions:
(1) It is designed, built, and equipped so it conforms at the time
of sale to the ultimate purchaser with the requirements of this part.
(2) It is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may
keep it from meeting these requirements.
(b) Warranty period. Your emission-related warranty must be valid
for at least 50 percent of the engine's useful life in hours of
operation or at least three years, whichever comes first. In the case
of a high-cost warranted part, the warranty must be valid for at least
70 percent of the engine's useful life in hours of operation or at
least five years, whichever comes first. You may offer an emission-
related warranty more generous than we require. The emission-related
warranty for the engine may not be shorter than any published warranty
you offer without charge for the engine. Similarly, the emission-
related warranty for any component may not be shorter than any
published warranty you offer without charge for that component. If an
engine has no hour meter, we base the warranty periods in this
paragraph (b) only on the engine's age (in years). The warranty period
begins when the engine is placed into service.
(c) Components covered. The emission-related warranty covers all
components whose failure would increase an engine's emissions of any
pollutant. This includes components listed in 40 CFR part 1068,
Appendix I, and components from any other system you develop to control
emissions. The emission-related warranty covers these components even
if another company produces the component. Your emission-related
warranty does not cover components whose failure would not increase an
engine's emissions of any pollutant.
(d) Limited applicability. You may deny warranty claims under this
section if the operator caused the problem through improper maintenance
or use, as described in 40 CFR 1068.115.
(e) Owners manual. Describe in the owners manual the emission-
related warranty provisions from this section that apply to the engine.
0
222. Section 1048.125 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.125 What maintenance instructions must I give to buyers?
Give the ultimate purchaser of each new nonroad engine written
instructions for properly maintaining and using the engine, including
the emission-control system. The maintenance instructions also apply to
service accumulation on your emission-data engines, as described in 40
CFR part 1065.
(a) Critical emission-related maintenance. Critical emission-
related maintenance includes any adjustment, cleaning, repair, or
replacement of critical emission-related components. This may also
include additional emission-related maintenance that you determine is
critical if we approve it in advance. You may schedule critical
emission-related maintenance on these components if you meet the
following conditions:
(1) You demonstrate that the maintenance is reasonably likely to be
done at the recommended intervals on in-use engines. We will accept
scheduled maintenance as reasonably likely to occur if you satisfy any
of the following conditions:
(i) You present data showing that, if a lack of maintenance
increases emissions, it also unacceptably degrades the engine's
performance.
(ii) You present survey data showing that at least 80 percent of
engines in the field get the maintenance you specify at the recommended
intervals.
(iii) You provide the maintenance free of charge and clearly say so
in maintenance instructions for the customer.
(iv) You otherwise show us that the maintenance is reasonably
likely to be done at the recommended intervals.
(2) You may not schedule critical emission-related maintenance more
frequently than the following minimum intervals, except as specified in
paragraphs (a)(3),
(b) and (c) of this section:
(i) For catalysts, fuel injectors, electronic control units,
superchargers, and turbochargers: The useful life of the engine family.
(ii) For gaseous fuel-system components (cleaning without
disassembly only) and oxygen sensors: 2,500 hours.
(3) If your engine family has an alternate useful life under Sec.
1048.101(g) that is shorter than the period specified in paragraph
(a)(2)(ii) of this section, you may not schedule critical emission-
related maintenance more frequently than the alternate useful life,
except as specified in paragraph (c) of this section.
(b) Recommended additional maintenance. You may recommend any
additional amount of maintenance on the components listed in paragraph
(a) of this section, as long as you state clearly that these
maintenance steps are not necessary to keep the emission-related
warranty valid. If operators do the maintenance specified in paragraph
(a) of this section, but not the recommended additional maintenance,
this does not allow you to disqualify those engines from in-use testing
or deny a warranty claim. Do not take these maintenance steps during
service accumulation on your emission-data engines.
(c) Special maintenance. You may specify more frequent maintenance
to address problems related to special situations, such as substandard
fuel or atypical engine operation. For example, you may specify more
frequent cleaning of fuel system components for engines you have reason
to believe will be using fuel that causes substantially more engine
performance problems than commercial fuels of the same type that are
generally available across the United States. You must clearly state
that this additional maintenance is associated with the special
situation you are addressing.
(d) Noncritical emission-related maintenance. You may schedule any
amount of emission-related inspection or maintenance that is not
covered by paragraph (a) of this section, as long as you state in the
owners manual that these steps are not necessary to keep the emission-
related warranty valid. If operators fail to do this maintenance, this
does not allow you to disqualify those engines from in-use testing or
deny a warranty claim. Do not take these inspection or maintenance
steps during service accumulation on your emission-data engines.
(e) Maintenance that is not emission-related. For maintenance
unrelated to emission controls, you may schedule any amount of
inspection or maintenance. You may also take these inspection or
maintenance steps during service accumulation on your emission-data
engines, as long as they are reasonable and technologically necessary.
This might include adding engine oil, changing air, fuel, or oil
filters, servicing engine-cooling systems, and adjusting idle speed,
governor, engine bolt torque, valve lash, or injector lash. You may
perform this nonemission-related maintenance on emission-data engines
at the least frequent intervals that you recommend to the ultimate
purchaser (but not the intervals recommended for severe service).

(f) Source of parts and repairs. State clearly on the first page of
your written maintenance instructions that a repair shop or person of
the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or repair emission-control
devices and systems. Your instructions may not require components or
service identified by brand, trade, or corporate name. Also, do not
directly or indirectly condition your warranty on a requirement that
the engine be serviced by your franchised dealers or any other service
establishments with which you have a commercial relationship. You may
disregard the requirements in this paragraph (f) if you do one of two
things:
(1) Provide a component or service without charge under the
purchase agreement.
(2) Get us to waive this prohibition in the public's interest by
convincing us the engine will work properly only with the identified
component or service.
(g) Payment for scheduled maintenance. Owners are responsible for
properly maintaining their engines. This generally includes paying for
scheduled maintenance. However, manufacturers must pay for scheduled
maintenance during the useful life if it meets all the following
criteria:
(1) Each affected component was not in general use on similar
engines before January 1, 2004.
(2) The primary function of each affected component is to reduce
emissions.
(3) The cost of the scheduled maintenance is more than 2 percent of
the price of the engine.
(4) Failure to perform the maintenance would not cause clear
problems that would significantly degrade the engine's performance.
(h) Owners manual. Explain the owner's responsibility for proper
maintenance in the owners manual.

223. Section 1048.130 is amended by revising paragraphs (a), (b)(3),
(b)(7), and (b)(8); and adding paragraph (d) to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.130 What installation instructions must I give to equipment
manufacturers?
(a) If you sell an engine for someone else to install in a piece of
nonroad equipment, give the engine installer instructions for
installing it consistent with the requirements of this part. Include
all information necessary to ensure that an engine will be installed in
its certified configuration.
(b) * * *
(3) Describe the instructions needed to properly install the
exhaust system and any other components. Include instructions
consistent with the requirements of Sec. 1048.205(v).
* * * * *
(7) Describe any other instructions to make sure the installed
engine will operate according to design specifications in your
application for certification. This may include, for example,
instructions for installing aftertreatment devices when installing the
engines.
(8) State: ``If you install the engine in a way that makes the
engine's emission control information label hard to read during normal
engine maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment,
as described in 40 CFR 1068.105.''.
* * * * *
(d) Provide instructions in writing or in an equivalent format. For
example, you may post instructions on a publicly available Web site for
downloading or printing. If you do not provide the instructions in
writing, explain in your application for certification how you will
ensure that each installer is informed of the installation
requirements.

224. Section 1048.135 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.135 How must I label and identify the engines I produce?
(a) Assign each engine a unique identification number and
permanently affix, engrave, or stamp it on the engine in a legible way.
(b) At the time of manufacture, affix a permanent and legible label
identifying each engine. The label must be--
(1) Attached in one piece so it is not removable without being
destroyed or defaced.
(2) Secured to a part of the engine needed for normal operation and
not normally requiring replacement.
(3) Durable and readable for the engine's entire life.
(4) Written in English.
(c) The label must--
(1) Include the heading ``EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION''.
(2) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may
identify another company and use its trademark instead of yours if you
comply with the provisions of Sec. 1048.635.
(3) Include EPA's standardized designation for the engine family
(and subfamily, where applicable).
(4) State the engine's displacement (in liters); however, you may
omit this from the label if all the engines in the engine family have
the same per-cylinder displacement and total displacement.
(5) State the date of manufacture [MONTH and YEAR]. You may omit
this from the label if you keep a record of the engine-manufacture
dates and provide it to us upon request.
(6) Identify the emission-control system. Use terms and
abbreviations consistent with SAE J1930 (incorporated by reference in
Sec. 1048.810). You may omit this information from the label if there
is not enough room for it and you put it in the owners manual instead.
(7) State: ``THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ON [specify
operating fuel or fuels].''.
(8) Identify any requirements for fuel and lubricants. You may omit
this information from the label if there is not enough room for it and
you put it in the owners manual instead.
(9) List specifications and adjustments for engine tuneups; show
the proper position for the transmission during tuneup and state which
accessories should be operating. You may omit this information from the
label if there is not enough room for it and you put it in the owners
manual instead.
(10) State the useful life for your engine family if it has a
longer useful life under Sec. 1048.101(g)(1) or a shortened useful
life under Sec. 1048.101(g)(2).
(11) Identify the emission standards to which you have certified
the engine.
(12) State: ``THIS ENGINE COMPLIES WITH U.S. EPA REGULATIONS FOR
[MODEL YEAR] LARGE NONROAD SI ENGINES.''.
(13) If your engines are certified only for constant-speed
operation, state: ``USE IN CONSTANT-SPEED APPLICATIONS ONLY''.
(14) If your engines are certified only for variable-speed
operation, state: ``USE IN VARIABLE-SPEED APPLICATIONS ONLY''.
(15) If your engines are certified only for high-load engines,
state: ``THIS ENGINE IS NOT INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT LESS THAN 75
PERCENT OF FULL LOAD.''.
(16) If you certify your engines under Sec. 1048.101(d) (and show
in your application for certification that in-use engines will
experience infrequent high-load operation), state: ``THIS ENGINE IS NOT
INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT MORE THAN--PERCENT OF FULL LOAD.''. Specify
the appropriate percentage of full load based on the nature of the
engine protection. You may add other statements to discourage operation
in engine-protection modes.
(17) If your engines are certified to the voluntary standards in
Sec. 1048.140, state: ``BLUE SKY SERIES''.
(d) You may add information to the emission control information
label to identify other emission standards that the engine meets or
does not meet (such
[[Page 40470]]
as California standards). You may also add other information to ensure
that the engine will be properly maintained and used.
(e) You may ask us to approve modified labeling requirements in
this part 1048 if you show that it is necessary or appropriate. We will
approve your request if your alternate label is consistent with the
requirements of this part.
(f) If you obscure the engine label while installing the engine in
the equipment such that the label will be hard to read during normal
maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment. If
others install your engine in their equipment in a way that obscures
the engine label, we require them to add a duplicate label on the
equipment (see 40 CFR 1068.105); in that case, give them the number of
duplicate labels they request and keep the following records for at
least five years:
(1) Written documentation of the request from the equipment
manufacturer.
(2) The number of duplicate labels you send and the date you sent
them.

226. Section 1048.145 is amended by revising the section heading and
paragraph (a) and removing and reserving paragraph(c) to read as
follows:
Sec. 1048.145 Are there interim provisions that apply only for a
limited time?
* * * * *
(a) Family banking. This paragraph (a) allows you to reduce the
number of engines subject to the Tier 2 standards by certifying some of
your engines earlier than otherwise required, as follows:
(1) For early-compliant engines to generate offsets under this
paragraph (a), you must meet the following general provisions:
(i) You must begin actual production of early-compliant engines by
September 1, 2006.
(ii) Engines you produce after December 31, 2006 may not generate
offsets.
(iii) Offset-generating engines must be certified to the Tier 2
standards and requirements under this part 1048.
(iv) If you certify engines under the voluntary standards of Sec.
1048.140, you may not use them in your calculation under this paragraph
(a).
(2) For every offset-generating engine certified to the Tier 2
standards, you may reduce the number of engines with the same maximum
engine power that are required to meet the Tier 2 standards in later
model years by one engine. You may calculate power-weighted offsets
based on actual U.S.-directed sales volumes. For example, if you
produce a total of 1,000 engines in 2005 and 2006 with an average
maximum power of 60 kW certified to the Tier 2 standards, you may delay
certification to that tier of standards for up to 60,000 kW-engine-
years in any of the following ways:
(i) Delay certification of up to 600 engines with an average
maximum power of 100 kW for one model year.
(ii) Delay certification of up to 200 engines with an average
maximum power of 100 kW for three consecutive model years.
(iii) Delay certification of up to 400 engines with an average
maximum power of 100 kW for one model year and up to 50 engines with an
average maximum power of 200 kW for two model years.
(3) Offset-using engines (that is, those not required to certify to
the Tier 2 standards) must be certified to the Tier 1 standards and
requirements of this part 1048. You may delay compliance for up to
three model years.
(4) By January 31 of each year in which you use the provisions of
this paragraph (a), send us a report describing how many offset-
generating or offset-using engines you produced in the preceding model
year.

227. Section 1048.201 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.201 What are the general requirements for obtaining a
certificate of conformity?
(a) You must send us a separate application for a certificate of
conformity for each engine family. A certificate of conformity is valid
from the indicated effective date untilDecember 31 of the model year
for which it is issued.
(b) The application must contain all the information required by
this part and must not include false or incomplete statements or
information (see Sec. 1048.255).
(c) We may ask you to include less information than we specify in
this subpart, as long as you maintain all the information required by
Sec. 1048.250.
(d) You must use good engineering judgment for all decisions
related to your application (see 40 CFR 1068.5).
(e) An authorized representative of your company must approve and
sign the application.
(f) See Sec. 1048.255 for provisions describing how we will
process your application.
(g) We may require you to deliver your test engines to a facility
we designate for our testing (see Sec. 1048.235(c)).

228. Section 1048.205 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.205 What must I include in my application?
This section specifies the information that must be in your
application, unless we ask you to include less information under Sec.
1048.201(c). We may require you to provide additional information to
evaluate your application.
(a) Describe the engine family's specifications and other basic
parameters of the engine's design and emission controls. List the fuel
types on
[[Page 40471]]
which your engines are designed to operate (for example, gasoline and
natural gas). List each distinguishable engine configuration in the
engine family.
(b) Explain how the emission-control system operates. Describe in
detail all system components for controlling exhaust emissions,
including all auxiliary-emission control devices (AECDs) and all fuel-
system components you will install on any production or test engine.
Describe the evaporative emission controls. Identify the part number of
each component you describe. For this paragraph (b), treat as separate
AECDs any devices that modulate or activate differently from each
other. Include all the following:
(1) Give a general overview of the engine, the emission-control
strategies, and all AECDs.
(2) Describe each AECD's general purpose and function.
(3) Identify the parameters that each AECD senses (including
measuring, estimating, calculating, or empirically deriving the
values). Include equipment-based parameters and state whether you
simulate them during testing with the applicable procedures.

(6) Identify the threshold values for the sensed parameters that
activate the AECD.
(7) Describe the parameters that the AECD modulates (controls) in
response to any sensed parameters, including the range of modulation
for each parameter, the relationship between the sensed parameters and
the controlled parameters and how the modulation achieves the AECD's
stated purpose. Use graphs and tables, as necessary.
(8) Describe each AECD's specific calibration details. This may be
in the form of data tables, graphical representations, or some other
description.
(9) Describe the hierarchy among the AECDs when multiple AECDs
sense or modulate the same parameter. Describe whether the strategies
interact in a comparative or additive manner and identify which AECD
takes precedence in responding, if applicable.
(10) Explain the extent to which the AECD is included in the
applicable test procedures specified in subpart F of this part.
(11) Do the following additional things for AECDs designed to
protect engines or equipment:
(i) Identify the engine and/or equipment design limits that make
protection necessary and describe any damage that would occur without
the AECD.
(ii) Describe how each sensed parameter relates to the protected
components' design limits or those operating conditions that cause the
need for protection.
(iii) Describe the relationship between the design limits/
parameters being protected and the parameters sensed or calculated as
surrogates for those design limits/parameters, if applicable.
(iv) Describe how the modulation by the AECD prevents engines and/
or equipment from exceeding design limits.
(v) Explain why it is necessary to estimate any parameters instead
of measuring them directly and describe how the AECD calculates the
estimated value, if applicable.
(vi) Describe how you calibrate the AECD modulation to activate
only during conditions related to the stated need to protect components
and only as needed to sufficiently protect those components in a way
that minimizes the emission impact.
(c) Explain how the engine diagnostic system works, describing
especially the engine conditions (with the corresponding diagnostic

ultimate purchaser of each new nonroad engine (see Sec. 1048.125).
(j) Include the emission-related installation instructions you will
provide if someone else installs your engines in a piece of nonroad
equipment (see Sec. 1048.130).
(k) Identify each high-cost warranted part and show us how you
calculated its replacement cost, including the estimated retail cost of
the part, labor rates, and labor hours to diagnose and replace
defective parts.
(l) Describe your emission control information label (see Sec.
1048.135).
(m) Identify the emission standards to which you are certifying
engines in the engine family.
(n) Identify the engine family's deterioration factors and describe
how you developed them (see Sec. 1048.240). Present any emission test
data you used for this.
(o) State that you operated your emission-data engines as described
in the application(including the test procedures, test parameters, and
test fuels) to show you meet the requirements of this part.
(p) Present emission data to show that you meet emission standards,
as follows:
(1) Present exhaust emission data for HC, NOX, and CO on
an emission-data engine to show your engines meet the applicable duty-
cycle emission standards we specify in Sec. 1048.101. Show emission
figures before and after applying adjustment factors for deterioration
factors for each engine. Include test data for each type of fuel from
40 CFR part 1065, subpart H, on which you intend for engines in the
engine family to operate (for example, gasoline, liquefied petroleum
gas, methanol, or natural gas). If we specify more than one grade of
any fuel type (for example, a summer grade and winter grade of
gasoline), you only need to submit test data for one grade, unless the
regulations of this part specify otherwise for your engine. Note that
Sec. 1048.235 allows you to submit an application in certain cases
without new emission data.
(2) If your engine family includes a volatile liquid fuel (and you
do not use design-based certification under Sec. 1048.245), present
evaporative test data to show your vehicles meet the evaporative
emission standards we specify in subpart B of this part. Show these
figures before and after applying deterioration factors, where
applicable.
(q) State that all the engines in the engine family comply with the
field-testing emission standards we specify in Sec. 1048.104 for all
normal operation and use when tested as specified in Sec. 1048.515.
Describe any relevant testing, engineering analysis, or other
information in sufficient detail to support your statement.
(r) For engines with maximum engine power above 560 kW, include
information showing how your emission
[[Page 40472]]
controls will function during normal in-use transient operation. For
example, this might include the following:
(1) Emission data from transient testing of engines using
measurement systems designed for measuring in-use emissions.
(2) Comparison of the engine design for controlling transient
emissions with that from engines for which you have emission data over
the transient duty cycle for certification.
(3) Detailed descriptions of control algorithms and other design
parameters for controlling transient emissions.
(s) Report all test results, including those from invalid tests or
from any other tests, whether or not they were conducted according to
the test procedures of subpart F of this part. If you measure
CO2, report those emission levels. We may ask you to send
other information to confirm that your tests were valid under the
requirements of this part and 40 CFR part 1065.
(t) Describe all adjustable operating parameters (see Sec.
1048.115(e)), including production tolerances. Include the following in
your description of each parameter:
(1) The nominal or recommended setting.
(2) The intended physically adjustable range.
(3) The limits or stops used to establish adjustable ranges.
(4) Information showing why the limits, stops, or other means of
inhibiting adjustment are effective in preventing adjustment of
parameters on in-use engines to settings outside your intended
physically adjustable ranges.
(u) Provide the information to read, record, and interpret all the
information broadcast by an engine's onboard computers and electronic
control units. State that, upon request, you will give us any hardware,
software, or tools we would need to do this. If you broadcast a
surrogate parameter for torque values, you must provide us what we need
to convert these into torque units. You may reference any appropriate
publicly released standards that define conventions for these messages
and parameters. Format your information consistent with publicly
released standards.
(v) Confirm that your emission-related installation instructions
specify how to ensure that sampling of exhaust emissions will be
possible after engines are installed in equipment and placed in
service. If this cannot be done by simply adding a 20-centimeter
extension to the exhaust pipe, show how to sample exhaust emissions in
a way that prevents diluting the exhaust sample with ambient air.
(w) State whether your engine will operate in variable-speed
applications, constant-speed applications, or both. If your
certification covers only constant-speed or only variable-speed
applications, describe how you will prevent use of these engines in
applications for which they are not certified.
(x) Unconditionally certify that all the engines in the engine
family comply with the requirements of this part, other referenced
parts of the CFR, and the Clean Air Act.
(y) Include estimates of U.S.-directed production volumes.
(z) Include other applicable information, such as information
specified in this part or part 1068 of this chapter related to requests
for exemptions.
(aa) Name an agent for service of process located in the United
States. Service on this agent constitutes service on you or any of your
officers or employees for any action by EPA or otherwise by the United
States related to the requirements of this part.

229. Section 1048.210 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.210 May I get preliminary approval before I complete my
application?
If you send us information before you finish the application, we
will review it and make any appropriate determinations, especially for
questions related to engine family definitions, auxiliary emission-
control devices, deterioration factors, testing for service
accumulation, and maintenance. Decisions made under this section are
considered to be preliminary approval, subject to final review and
approval. We will generally not reverse a decision where we have given
you preliminary approval, unless we find new information supporting a
different decision. If you request preliminary approval related to the
upcoming model year or the model year after that, we will make best-
efforts to make the appropriate determinations as soon as practicable.
We will generally not provide preliminary approval related to a future
model year more than two years ahead of time.

231. Section 1048.220 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.220 How do I amend the maintenance instructions in my
application?
You may amend your emission-related maintenance instructions after
you submit your application for certification, as long as the amended
instructions remain consistent with the provisions of Sec. 1048.125.
You must send the Designated Compliance Officer a request to amend your
application for certification for an engine family if you want to
change the emission-related maintenance instructions in a way that
could affect emissions. In your request, describe the proposed changes
to the maintenance instructions. We will disapprove your request if we
determine that the amended instructions are inconsistent with
maintenance you performed on emission-data engines.
(a) If you are decreasing the specified maintenance, you may
distribute the new maintenance instructions to your customers 30 days
after we receive your request, unless we disapprove your request. We
may approve a shorter time or waive this requirement.
(b) If your requested change would not decrease the specified
maintenance, you may distribute the new maintenance instructions
anytime after you send your request. For example, this paragraph (b)
would cover adding instructions to increase the frequency of a
maintenance step for engines in severe-duty applications.
(c) You need not request approval if you are making only minor
corrections (such as correcting typographical mistakes), clarifying
your maintenance instructions, or changing instructions for maintenance
unrelated to emission control.

232. Section 1048.225 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.225 How do I amend my application for certification to
include new or modified engines?
Before we issue you a certificate of conformity, you may amend your
application to include new or modified engine configurations, subject
to the provisions of this section. After we have issued your
certificate of conformity, you may send us an amended application
requesting that we include new or modified engine configurations within
the scope of the certificate, subject to the provisions of this
section. You must amend your application if any changes occur with
respect to any information included in your application.
(a) You must amend your application before you take either of the
following actions:
(1) Add an engine (that is, an additional engine configuration) to
an engine family. In this case, the engine added must be consistent
with other engines in the engine family with respect to the criteria
listed in Sec. 1048.230.
[[Page 40473]]
(2) Change an engine already included in an engine family in a way
that may affect emissions, or change any of the components you
described in your application for certification. This includes
production and design changes that may affect emissions any time during
the engine's lifetime.
(b) To amend your application for certification, send the
Designated Compliance Officer the following information:
(1) Describe in detail the addition or change in the engine model
or configuration you intend to make.
(2) Include engineering evaluations or data showing that the
amended engine family complies with all applicable requirements. You
may do this by showing that the original emission-data engine is still
appropriate with respect to showing compliance of the amended family
with all applicable requirements.
(3) If the original emission-data engine for the engine family is
not appropriate to show compliance for the new or modified nonroad
engine, include new test data showing that the new or modified nonroad
engine meets the requirements of this part.
(c) We may ask for more test data or engineering evaluations. You
must give us these within 30 days after we request them.
(d) For engine families already covered by a certificate of
conformity, we will determine whether the existing certificate of
conformity covers your new or modified nonroad engine. You may ask for
a hearing if we deny your request (see Sec. 1048.820).
(e) For engine families already covered by a certificate of
conformity, you may start producing the new or modified nonroad engine
anytime after you send us your amended application, before we make a
decision under paragraph (d) of this section. However, if we determine
that the affected engines do not meet applicable requirements, we will
notify you to cease production of the engines and may require you to
recall the engines at no expense to the owner. Choosing to produce
engines under this paragraph (e) is deemed to be consent to recall all
engines that we determine do not meet applicable emission standards or
other requirements and to remedy the nonconformity at no expense to the
owner. If you do not provide information required under paragraph (c)
of this section within 30 days, you must stop producing the new or
modified nonroad engines.

233. Section 1048.230 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.230 How do I select engine families?
(a) Divide your product line into families of engines that are
expected to have similar emission characteristics throughout the useful
life. Your engine family is limited to a single model year.
(b) Group engines in the same engine family if they are the same in
all of the following aspects:
(1) The combustion cycle.
(2) The cooling system (water-cooled vs. air-cooled).
(3) Configuration of the fuel system (for example, fuel injection
vs. carburetion).
(4) Method of air aspiration.
(5) The number, location, volume, and composition of catalytic
converters.
(6) The number, arrangement, and approximate bore diameter of
cylinders.
(7) Evaporative emission controls.
(c) You may subdivide a group of engines that is identical under
paragraph (b) of this section into different engine families if you
show the expected emission characteristics are different during the
useful life.
(d) You may group engines that are not identical with respect to
the things listed in paragraph (b) of this section in the same engine
family if you show that their emission characteristics during the
useful life will be similar.
(e) You may create separate families for exhaust emissions and
evaporative emissions. If we do this, list both families on the
emission control information label.
(f) Where necessary, you may divide an engine family into sub-
families to meet different emission standards, as specified in Sec.
1048.101(a)(2). For issues related to compliance and prohibited
actions, we will generally apply decisions to the whole engine family.
For engine labels and other administrative provisions, we may approve
your request for separate treatment of sub-families.

234. Section 1048.235 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.235 What emission testing must I perform for my application
for a certificate of conformity?
This section describes the emission testing you must perform to
show compliance with the emission standards in Sec. Sec. 1048.101(a)
and (b) and 1048.105 during certification. See Sec. 1048.205(q)
regarding emission testing related to the field-testing standards. See
Sec. 1048.240 and 40 CFR part 1065, subpart E, regarding service
accumulation before emission testing.
(a) Test your emission-data engines using the procedures and
equipment specified in subpart F of this part. For any testing related
to evaporative emissions, use good engineering judgment to include a
complete fuel system with the engine.
(b) Select emission-data engines according to the following
criteria:
(1) Exhaust testing. For each fuel type from each engine family,
select an emission-data engine with a configuration that is most likely
to exceed the exhaust emission standards, using good engineering
judgment. Consider the emission levels of all exhaust constituents over
the full useful life of the engine when operated in a piece of
equipment.
(2) Evaporative testing. For each engine family that includes a
volatile liquid fuel, select a test fuel system with a configuration
that is most likely to exceed the evaporative emission standards, using
good engineering judgment.
(c) We may measure emissions from any of your test engines or other
engines from the engine family, as follows:
(1) We may decide to do the testing at your plant or any other
facility. If we do this, you must deliver the test engine to a test
facility we designate. The test engine you provide must include
appropriate manifolds, aftertreatment devices, electronic control
units, and other emission-related components not normally attached
directly to the engine block. If we do the testing at your plant, you
must schedule it as soon as possible and make available the
instruments, personnel, and equipment we need.
(2) If we measure emissions on one of your test engines, the
results of that testing become the official emission results for the
engine. Unless we later invalidate these data, we may decide not to
consider your data in determining if your engine family meets
applicable requirements.
(3) Before we test one of your engines, we may set its adjustable
parameters to any point within the physically adjustable ranges (see
Sec. 1048.115(e)).
(4) Before we test one of your engines, we may calibrate it within
normal production tolerances for anything we do not consider an
adjustable parameter.
(d) You may ask to use emission data from a previous model year
instead of doing new tests, but only if all the following are true:
(1) The engine family from the previous model year differs from the
current engine family only with respect to model year.
(2) The emission-data engine from the previous model year remains
the appropriate emission-data engine under paragraph (b) of this
section.
(3) The data show that the emission-data engine would meet all the
[[Page 40474]]
requirements that apply to the engine family covered by the application
for certification.
(e) We may require you to test a second engine of the same or
different configuration in addition to the engine tested under
paragraph (b) of this section.
(f) If you use an alternate test procedure under 40 CFR 1065.10 and
later testing shows that such testing does not produce results that are
equivalent to the procedures specified in subpart F of this part, we
may reject data you generated using the alternate procedure.
0
235. Section 1048.240 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.240 How do I demonstrate that my engine family complies
with exhaust emission standards?
(a) For purposes of certification, your engine family is considered
in compliance with the applicable numerical emission standards in Sec.
1048.101(a) and (b) if all emission-data engines representing that
family have test results showing deteriorated emission levels at or
below these standards.
(b) Your engine family is deemed not to comply if any emission-data
engine representing that family has test results showing a deteriorated
emission level above an applicable emission standard from Sec.
1048.101 for any pollutant.
(c) To compare emission levels from the emission-data engine with
the applicable emission standards, apply deterioration factors to the
measured emission levels for each pollutant. Specify the deterioration
factors based on emission measurements using four significant figures,
consistent with good engineering judgment. For example, your
deterioration factors must take into account any available data from
in-use testing with similar engines (see subpart E of this part).
Small-volume engine manufacturers may use assigned deterioration
factors that we establish. Apply deterioration factors as follows:
(1) Multiplicative deterioration factor. For engines that use
aftertreatment technology, such as catalytic converters, use a
multiplicative deterioration factor for exhaust emissions. A
multiplicative deterioration factor is the ratio of exhaust emissions
at the end of useful life to exhaust emissions at the low-hour test
point. Adjust the official emission results for each tested engine at
the selected test point by multiplying the measured emissions by the
deterioration factor. If the factor is less than one, use one.
(2) Additive deterioration factor. For engines that do not use
aftertreatment technology, use an additive deterioration factor for
exhaust emissions. An additive deterioration factor is the difference
between exhaust emissions at the end of useful life and exhaust
emissions at the low-hour test point. Adjust the official emission
results for each tested engine at the selected test point by adding the
factor to the measured emissions. If the factor is less than zero, use
zero.
(d) Collect emission data using measurements to one more decimal
place than the applicable standard. Apply the deterioration factor to
the official emission result, as described in paragraph (c) of this
section, then round the adjusted figure to the same number of decimal
places as the emission standard. Compare the rounded emission levels to
the emission standard for each emission-data engine. In the case of HC
+ NOX standards, apply the deterioration factor to each
pollutant and then add the results before rounding.

and buildup, steps you took to ensure that it represents production
engines, any components you built specially for it, and all the
components you include in your application for certification.

238. Section 1048.255 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.255 When may EPA deny, revoke, or void my certificate of
conformity?
(a) If we determine your application is complete and shows that the
engine family meets all the requirements of this part and the Act, we
will issue a certificate of conformity for your engine family for that
model year. We may make the approval subject to additional conditions.
(b) We may deny your application for certification if we determine
that your engine family fails to comply with emission standards or
other requirements of this part or the Act. Our decision may be based
on a review of all information available to us. If we deny your
application, we will explain why in writing.
(c) In addition, we may deny your application or suspend or revoke
your certificate if you do any of the following:
(1) Refuse to comply with any testing or reporting requirements.
(2) Submit false or incomplete information (paragraph (e) of this
section applies if this is fraudulent).
(3) Render inaccurate any test data.
(4) Deny us from completing authorized activities despite our
presenting a warrant or court order (see 40 CFR 1068.20). This includes
a failure to provide reasonable assistance.
(5) Produce engines for importation into the United States at a
location where local law prohibits us from carrying out authorized
activities.

(6) Fail to supply requested information or amend your application
to include all engines being produced.
(7) Take any action that otherwise circumvents the intent of the
Act or this part.
(d) We may void your certificate if you do not keep the records we
require or do not give us information when we ask for it.
(e) We may void your certificate if we find that you intentionally
submitted false or incomplete information.
(f) If we deny your application or suspend, revoke, or void your
certificate, you may ask for a hearing (see Sec. 1048.820).

read as follows:
Sec. 1048.301 When must I test my production-line engines?
(a) If you produce engines that are subject to the requirements of
this part, you must test them as described in this subpart.
* * * * *

Sec. 1048.305 How must I prepare and test my production-line engines?
* * * * *
(d) * * *
(1) We may adjust or require you to adjust idle speed outside the
physically adjustable range as needed only until the engine has
stabilized emission levels (see paragraph (e) of this section). We may
ask you for information needed to establish an alternate minimum idle
speed.
* * * * *
(f) Damage during shipment. If shipping an engine to a remote
facility for production-line testing makes necessary an adjustment or
repair, you must wait until after the initial emission test to do this
work. We may waive this requirement if the test would be impossible or
unsafe, or if it would permanently damage the engine. Report to us, in
your written report under Sec. 1048.345, all adjustments or repairs
you make on test engines before each test.
(g) Retesting after invalid tests. You may retest an engine if you
determine an emission test is invalid under subpart F of this part.
Explain in your written report reasons for invalidating any test and
the emission results from all tests. If you retest an engine and,
within ten days after testing, ask to substitute results of the new
tests for the original ones, we will answer within ten days after we
receive your information.

241. Section 1048.310 is amended by revising paragraphs (c)
introductory text, (c)(2), (g), (h), and (i) to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.310 How must I select engines for production-line testing?
* * * * *
(c) Calculate the required sample size for each engine family.
Separately calculate this figure for HC+NOX and for CO. The
required sample size is the greater of these two calculated values. Use
the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13JY05.007
Where:
N = Required sample size for the model year.
t95 = 95% confidence coefficient, which depends on the
number of tests completed, n, as specified in the table in paragraph
(c)(1) of this section. It defines 95% confidence intervals for a one-
tail distribution.
x = Mean of emission test results of the sample.
STD = Emission standard.
[sigma] = Test sample standard deviation (see paragraph (c)(2) of this
section).
n = The number of tests completed in an engine family.
* * * * *
(2) Calculate the standard deviation, [sigma], for the test sample
using the following formula:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13JY05.008
Where:
Xi = Emission test result for an individual engine.
* * * * *
(g) Continue testing any engine family for which the sample mean,
x, is greater than the emission standard. This applies if the sample
mean for either HC+NOX or for CO is greater than the
emission standard. Continue testing until one of the following things
happens:
(1) The number of tests completed in an engine family, n, is
greater than the required sample size, N, and the sample mean, x, is
less than or equal to the emission standard. For example, if N = 3.1
after the third test, the sample-size calculation does not allow you to
stop testing.
(2) The engine family does not comply according to Sec. 1048.315.
(3) You test 30 engines from the engine family.
(4) You test one percent of your projected annual U.S.-directed
production volume for the engine family, rounded to the nearest whole
number. If your projected production is between 150 and 750 engines,
test engines as specified in paragraph (b) of this section until you
have tested one percent of your projected annual U.S.-directed
production volume. For example, if projected volume is 475 engines,
test two engines in each of the first two quarters and one engine in
the third quarter to fulfill your testing requirements under this
section for that engine family. If your projected production volume is
less than 150, you must test at least two engines.
(5) You choose to declare that the engine family does not comply
with the requirements of this subpart.
(h) If the sample-size calculation allows you to stop testing for a
pollutant, you must continue measuring emission levels of that
pollutant for any additional tests required under this section.
However, you need not continue making the calculations specified in
this section for that pollutant. This paragraph (h) does not affect the
requirements in Sec. 1048.320.
(i) You may elect to test more randomly chosen engines than we
require under this section. Include these engines in the sample-size
calculations.

(d) Section 1048.335 specifies steps you must take to remedy the
cause of the engine family's production-line failure. All the engines
you have produced since the end of the last test period are presumed
noncompliant and should be addressed in your proposed remedy. We may
require you to apply the remedy to engines produced earlier if we
determine that the cause of the

Sec. 1048.501 How do I run a valid emission test?
(a) Use the equipment and procedures for spark-ignition engines in
40 CFR part 1065 to determine whether engines meet the duty-cycle
emission standards in Sec. 1048.101(a) and (b). Measure the emissions
of all the pollutants we regulate in Sec. 1048.101 using the sampling
procedures specified in 40 CFR part 1065. Use the applicable duty
cycles specified in Sec. Sec. 1048.505 and 1048.510.
(b) Section 1048.515 describes the supplemental procedures for
evaluating whether engines meet the field-testing emission standards in
Sec. 1048.101(c).
(c) Use the fuels specified in 40 CFR part 1065, subpart C, to
perform valid tests for all the testing we require in this part, except
as noted in Sec. 1048.515. For service accumulation, use the test fuel
or any commercially available fuel that is representative of the fuel
that in-use engines will use.
(d) In place of the provisions of 40 CFR 1065.405, you may consider
emission levels stable without measurement after 50 hours of engine
operation.
(e) To test engines for evaporative emissions, use the equipment
and procedures specified for testing diurnal emissions in 40 CFR
86.107-96 and 86.133-96 with fuel meeting the specifications in 40 CFR
part 1065, subpart C. Measure emissions from a test engine with a
complete fuel system. Reported emission levels must be based on the
highest emissions from three successive 24-hour periods of cycling
temperatures. Note that you may omit testing for evaporative emissions
during certification if you certify by design, as specified in Sec.
1048.245.
(f) You may use special or alternate procedures to the extent we
allow them under 40 CFR 1065.10.
(g) This subpart is addressed to you as a manufacturer, but it
applies equally to anyone who does testing for you, and to us when we
perform testing to determine if your engines meet emission standards.
(h) Map all engines (including constant-speed engines) using the
procedures specified in 40 CFR part 1065 for variable-speed engines.
For constant-speed engines, continue the mapping procedure until you
reach the high-idle speed (the highest speed at which the engine
produces zero torque).

249. Section 1048.505 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.505 How do I test engines using steady-state duty cycles,
including ramped-modal testing?
This section describes how to test engines under steady-state
conditions. In some cases, we allow you to choose the appropriate
steady-state duty cycle for an engine. In these cases, you must use the
duty cycle you select in your application for certification for all
testing you perform for that engine family. If we test your engines to
confirm that they meet emission standards, we will use the duty cycles
you select for your own testing. We may also perform other testing as
allowed by the Clean Air Act.
(a) You may perform steady-state testing with either discrete-mode
or ramped-modal cycles, as follows:
(1) For discrete-mode testing, sample emissions separately for each
mode, then calculate an average emission level for the whole cycle
using the weighting factors specified for each mode. Calculate cycle
statistics for the sequence of modes and compare with the specified
values in 40 CFR 1065.514 to confirm that the test is valid. Operate
the engine and sampling system as follows:
(i) Engines with lean NOX aftertreatment. For lean-burn engines
that depend on aftertreatment to meet the NOX emission
standard, operate the engine for 5-6 minutes, then sample emissions for
1-3 minutes in each mode.
(ii) Engines without lean NOX aftertreatment. For other engines,
operate the engine for at least 5 minutes, then sample emissions for at
least 1 minute in each mode. Calculate cycle statistics for the
sequence of modes and compare with the specified values in 40 CFR part
1065 to confirm that the test is valid.
(2) For ramped-modal testing, start sampling at the beginning of
the first mode and continue sampling until the end of the last mode.
Calculate emissions and cycle statistics the same as for transient
testing.
(b) Measure emissions by testing the engine on a dynamometer with
one or more of the following sets of duty cycles to determine whether
it meets the steady-state emission standards in Sec. 1048.101(b):
(1) For engines from an engine family that will be used only in
variable-speed applications, use one of the following duty cycles:
(i) The following duty cycle applies for discrete-mode testing:

paragraphs (a) and (c)(1) to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.510 Which duty cycles do I use for transient testing?
(a) Starting with the 2007 model year, measure emissions by testing
the engine on a dynamometer with one of the following transient duty
cycles to determine whether it meets the transient emission standards
in Sec. 1048.101(a):
(1) For constant-speed engines and severe-duty engines, use the
transient duty-cycle described in Appendix I of this part.
(2) For all other engines, use the transient duty cycle described
in Appendix II of this part.
* * * * *
(c) * * *
(1) Operate the engine for the first 180 seconds of the appropriate
duty cycle from Appendix I or Appendix II of this part, then allow it
to idle without load for 30 seconds. At the end of the 30-second idling
period, start measuring emissions as the engine operates over the
prescribed duty cycle. For severe-duty engines, this engine warm-up
procedure may include up to 15 minutes of operation over the
appropriate duty cycle.

253. Section 1048.605 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.605 What provisions apply to engines certified under the
motor-vehicle program?
(a) General provisions. If you are an engine manufacturer, this
section allows you to introduce new nonroad engines into commerce if
they are already certified to the requirements that apply to engines
under 40 CFR parts 85 and 86 for the appropriate model year. If you
comply with all the provisions of this section, we consider the
certificate issued under 40 CFR part 86 for each engine to also be a
valid certificate of conformity under this part 1048 for its model
year, without a separate application for certification under the
requirements of this part 1048. See Sec. 1048.610 for similar
provisions that apply to engines certified to chassis-based standards
for motor vehicles.
(b) Equipment-manufacturer provisions. If you are not an engine
manufacturer, you may produce nonroad equipment using motor-vehicle
engines under this section as long as you meet all the requirements and
conditions specified in paragraph (d) of this section. If you modify
the motor-vehicle engine in any of the ways described in paragraph
(d)(2) of this section, we will consider you a manufacturer of a new
nonroad engine. Such engine modifications prevent you from using the
provisions of this section.
(c) Liability. Engines for which you meet the requirements of this
section are exempt from all the requirements and prohibitions of this
part, except for those specified in this section. Engines exempted
under this section must meet all the applicable requirements from 40
CFR parts 85 and 86. This applies to engine manufacturers, equipment
manufacturers who use these engines, and all other persons as if these
engines were used in a motor vehicle. The prohibited acts of 40 CFR
1068.101(a)(1) apply to these new engines and equipment; however, we
consider the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 86 for each engine to
also be a valid certificate of conformity under this part 1048 for its
model year. If we make a determination that these engines do not
conform to the regulations during their useful life, we may require you
to recall them under 40 CFR part 86 or 40 CFR 1068.505.
(d) Specific requirements. If you are an engine manufacturer or
equipment manufacturer and meet all the following criteria and
requirements regarding your new nonroad engine, the engine is eligible
for an exemption under this section:
(1) Your engine must be covered by a valid certificate of
conformity issued under 40 CFR part 86.
(2) You must not make any changes to the certified engine that
could reasonably be expected to increase its exhaust emissions for any
pollutant, or its evaporative emissions. For example, if you make any
of the following changes to one of these engines, you do not qualify
for this exemption:
(i) Change any fuel system or evaporative system parameters from
the certified configuration (this does not apply to refueling
controls).
(ii) Change, remove, or fail to properly install any other
component, element of design, or calibration specified in the engine
manufacturer's application for certification. This includes
aftertreatment devices and all related components.
(iii) Modify or design the engine cooling system so that
temperatures or heat rejection rates are outside the original engine
manufacturer's specified ranges.
(3) You must show that fewer than 50 percent of the engine family's
total sales in the United States are used in nonroad applications. This
includes engines used in any application without regard to which
company manufactures the vehicle or equipment. Show this as follows:
(i) If you are the original manufacturer of the engine, base this
showing on your sales information.
(ii) In all other cases, you must get the original manufacturer of
the engine to confirm this based on its sales information.
(4) You must ensure that the engine has the label we require under
40 CFR part 86.
(5) You must add a permanent supplemental label to the engine in a
position where it will remain clearly visible after installation in the
equipment. In the supplemental label, do the following:
(i) Include the heading: ``NONROAD ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION''.
(ii) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may
instead include the full corporate name and trademark of another
company you choose to designate.
(iii) State: ``THIS ENGINE WAS ADAPTED FOR NONROAD USE WITHOUT
AFFECTING ITS EMISSION CONTROLS. THE EMISSION-CONTROL SYSTEM DEPENDS ON
THE USE OF FUEL MEETING SPECIFICATIONS THAT APPLY FOR MOTOR-VEHICLE
APPLICATIONS. OPERATING THE ENGINE ON OTHER FUELS MAY BE A VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL LAW.''.
(iv) State the date you finished modifying the engine (month and
year), if applicable.
(6) The original and supplemental labels must be readily visible
after the engine is installed in the equipment or, if the equipment
obscures the engine's emission control information label, the equipment
manufacturer must attach duplicate labels, as described in 40 CFR
1068.105.
(7) Send the Designated Compliance Officer a signed letter by the
end of each calendar year (or less often if we tell you) with all the
following information:
(i) Identify your full corporate name, address, and telephone
number.
(ii) List the engine or equipment models you expect to produce
under this exemption in the coming year.
(iii) State: ``We produce each listed [engine or equipment] model
for nonroad application without making any changes that could increase
its certified emission levels, as described in 40 CFR 1048.605.''.
(e) Failure to comply. If your engines do not meet the criteria
listed in paragraph (d) of this section, they will be subject to the
standards, requirements, and prohibitions of this part 1048 and the
certificate issued under 40 CFR part 86 will not be deemed to also be a
certificate issued under this part 1048. Introducing these engines into
commerce without a valid exemption or certificate of conformity under
this part violates the prohibitions in 40 CFR 1068.101(a)(1).
(f) Data submission. We may require you to send us emission test
data on any applicable nonroad duty cycles.
(g) Participation in averaging, banking and trading. Engines
adapted for nonroad use under this section may generate credits under
the ABT provisions in 40 CFR part 86. These
[[Page 40480]]
engines must use emission credits under 40 CFR part 86 if they are
certified to an FEL that exceeds an applicable standard under 40 CFR
part 86.

this section allows you to introduce new nonroad engines or equipment
into commerce if the vehicle is already certified to the requirements
that apply under 40 CFR parts 85 and 86 for the appropriate model year.
If you comply with all of the provisions of this section, we consider
the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 86 for each motor vehicle to
also be a valid certificate of conformity for the engine under this
part 1048 for its model year, without a separate application for
certification under the requirements of this part 1048. See Sec.
1048.605 or similar provisions that apply to motor-vehicle engines
produced for nonroad equipment. The provisions of this section do not
apply to engines certified to meet the requirements for highway
motorcycles.
(b) Equipment-manufacturer provisions. If you are not a motor-
vehicle manufacturer, you may produce nonroad equipment from motor
vehicles under this section as long as you meet all the requirements
and conditions specified in paragraph (d) of this section. If you
modify the motor vehicle or its engine in any of the ways described in
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, we will consider you a manufacturer
of a new nonroad engine. Such modifications prevent you from using the
provisions of this section.
(c) Liability. Engines, vehicles, and equipment for which you meet
the requirements of this section are exempt from all the requirements
and prohibitions of this part, except for those specified in this
section. Engines exempted under this section must meet all the
applicable requirements from 40 CFR parts 85 and 86. This applies to
engine manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, and all other persons as
if the nonroad equipment were motor vehicles. The prohibited acts of 40
CFR 1068.101(a)(1) apply to these new pieces of equipment; however, we
consider the certificate issued under 40 CFR part 86 for each motor
vehicle to also be a valid certificate of conformity for the engine
under this part 1048 for its model year. If we make a determination
that these engines, vehicles, or equipment do not conform to the
regulations during their useful life, we may require you to recall them
under 40 CFR part 86 or 40 CFR 1068.505.
(d) Specific requirements. If you are a motor-vehicle manufacturer
and meet all the following criteria and requirements regarding your new
nonroad equipment and its engine, the engine is eligible for an
exemption under this section:
(1) Your equipment must be covered by a valid certificate of
conformity as a motor vehicle issued under 40 CFR part 86.
(2) You must not make any changes to the certified vehicle that we
could reasonably expect to increase its exhaust emissions for any
pollutant, or its evaporative emissions if it is subject to
evaporative-emission standards. For example, if you make any of the
following changes, you do not qualify for this exemption:
(i) Change any fuel system or evaporative system parameters from
the certified configuration, including refueling emission controls.
(ii) Change, remove, or fail to properly install any other
component, element of design, or calibration specified in the vehicle
manufacturer's application for certification. This includes
aftertreatment devices and all related components.
(iii) Modify or design the engine cooling system so that
temperatures or heat rejection rates are outside the original vehicle
manufacturer's specified ranges.
(iv) Add more than 500 pounds to the curb weight of the originally
certified motor vehicle.
(3) You must show that fewer than 50 percent of the engine family's
total sales in the United States are used in nonroad applications. This
includes any type of vehicle, without regard to which company completes
the manufacturing of the nonroad equipment. Show this as follows:
(i) If you are the original manufacturer of the vehicle, base this
showing on your sales information.
(ii) In all other cases, you must get the original manufacturer of
the vehicle to confirm this based on their sales information.
(4) The equipment must have the vehicle emission control
information and fuel labels we require under 40 CFR 86.007-35.
(5) You must add a permanent supplemental label to the equipment in
a position where it will remain clearly visible. In the supplemental
label, do the following:
(i) Include the heading: ``NONROAD ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION''.
(ii) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may
instead include the full corporate name and trademark of another
company you choose to designate.
(iii) State: ``THIS VEHICLE WAS ADAPTED FOR NONROAD USEWITHOUT
AFFECTING ITS EMISSION CONTROLS. THEEMISSION-CONTROL SYSTEM DEPENDS ON
THE USE OF FUELMEETING SPECIFICATIONS THAT APPLY FOR MOTOR-
VEHICLEAPPLICATIONS. OPERATING THE ENGINE ON OTHER FUELSMAY BE A
VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW.''.
(iv) State the date you finished modifying the vehicle (month and
year), if applicable.
(6) The original and supplemental labels must be readily visible in
the fully assembled equipment.
(7) Send the Designated Compliance Officer a signed letter by the
end of each calendar year (or less often if we tell you) with all the
following information:
(i) Identify your full corporate name, address, and telephone
number.
(ii) List the equipment models you expect to produce under this
exemption in the coming year.
(iii) State: ``We produced each listed engine or equipment model
for nonroad application without making any changes that could increase
its certified emission levels, as described in 40 CFR 1048.610.''.
(e) Failure to comply. If your engines, vehicles, or equipment do
not meet the criteria listed in paragraph (d) of this section, the
engines will be subject to the standards, requirements, and
prohibitions of this part 1048, and the certificate issued under 40 CFR
part 86 will not be deemed to also be a certificate issued under this
part 1048. Introducing these engines into commerce without a valid
exemption or certificate of conformity under this part violates the
prohibitions in 40 CFR 1068.101(a)(1).
(f) Data submission. We may require you to send us emission test
data on any applicable nonroad duty cycles.
(g) Participation in averaging, banking and trading. Vehicles
adapted for nonroad use under this section may generate credits under
the ABT provisions in 40 CFR part 86. These vehicles must use emission
credits under 40 CFR part 86 if they are certified to an FEL that
exceeds an applicable standard under 40 CFR part 86.

255. Section 1048.615 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(2), (a)(3),
(c), and (d) to read as follows:
[[Page 40481]]
Sec. 1048.615 What are the provisions for exempting engines designed
for lawn and garden applications?
* * * * *
(a) * * *
(2) The engine must have a maximum engine power at or below 30 kW.
(3) The engine must be in an engine family that has a valid
certificate of conformity showing that it meets emission standards for
Class II engines under 40 CFR part 90 for the appropriate model year.
* * * * *
(c) If your engines do not meet the criteria listed in paragraph
(a) of this section, they will be subject to the provisions of this
part. Introducing these engines into commerce without a valid exemption
or certificate of conformity violates the prohibitions in 40 CFR
1068.101.
(d) Engines exempted under this section are subject to all the
requirements affecting engines under 40 CFR part 90. The requirements
and restrictions of 40 CFR part 90 apply to anyone manufacturing these
engines, anyone manufacturing equipment that uses these engines, and
all other persons in the same manner as if these engines had a total
maximum engine power at or below 19 kW.
0
256. Section 1048.620 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.620 What are the provisions for exempting large engines
fueled by natural gas?
(a) If an engine meets all the following criteria, it is exempt
from the requirements of this part:
(1) The engine must operate solely on natural gas or liquefied
petroleum gas.
(2) The engine must have maximum engine power at or above 250 kW.
(3) The engine must be in an engine family that has a valid
certificate of conformity showing that it meets emission standards for
engines of that power rating under 40 CFR part 89 or 1039.
(b) The only requirements or prohibitions from this part that apply
to an engine that is exempt under this section are in this section.
(c) If your engines do not meet the criteria listed in paragraph
(a) of this section, they will be subject to the provisions of this
part. Introducing these engines into commerce without a valid exemption
or certificate of conformity violates the prohibitions in 40 CFR
1068.101.
(d) Engines exempted under this section are subject to all the
requirements affecting engines under 40 CFR part 89 or 1039. The
requirements and restrictions of 40 CFR part 89 or 1039 apply to anyone
manufacturing these engines, anyone manufacturing equipment that uses
these engines, and all other persons in the same manner as if these
were nonroad diesel engines.
(e) You may request an exemption under this section by submitting
an application for certification for the engines under 40 CFR part 89
or 1039.
0
257. Section 1048.625 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.625 What special provisions apply to engines using
noncommercial fuels?
In Sec. 1048.115(e), we generally require that engines meet
emission standards for any adjustment within the full range of any
adjustable parameters. For engines that use noncommercial fuels
significantly different than the specified test fuel of the same type,
you may ask to use the parameter-adjustment provisions of this section
instead of those in Sec. 1048.115(e). Engines certified under this
section must be in a separate engine family.
(a) If we approve your request, the following provisions apply:
(1) You must certify the engine using the test fuel specified in
Sec. 1048.501.
(2) You may produce the engine without limits or stops that keep
the engine adjusted within the certified range.
(3) You must specify in-use adjustments different than the
adjustable settings appropriate for the specified test fuel, consistent
with the provisions of paragraph(b)(1) of this section.
(b) To produce engines under this section, you must do the
following:
(1) Specify in-use adjustments needed so the engine's level of
emission control for each regulated pollutant is equivalent to that
from the certified configuration.
(2) Add the following information to the emission control
information label specified in Sec. 1048.135:
(i) Include instructions describing how to adjust the engine to
operate in a way that maintains the effectiveness of the emission-
control system.
(ii) State: ``THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE IN APPLICATIONS
USING NONCOMMERCIAL FUEL. MALADJUSTMENT OF THE ENGINE IS A VIOLATION
OFFEDERAL LAW SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTY.''.
(3) Keep records to document the destinations and quantities of
engines produced under this section.

258. A new Sec. 1048.630 is added to subpart G to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.630 What are the provisions for exempting engines used
solely for competition?
The provisions of this section apply for new engines built on or
after January 1, 2006.
(a) Equipment manufacturers may use uncertified engines if the
vehicles or equipment in which they are installed will be used solely
for competition.
(b) The definition of nonroad engine in 40 CFR 1068.30 excludes
engines used solely for competition. These engines are not required to
comply with this part 1048, but 40 CFR 1068.101 prohibits the use of
competition engines for noncompetition purposes.
(c) We consider a vehicle or piece of equipment to be one that will
be used solely for competition if it has features that are not easily
removed that would make its use other than in competition unsafe,
impractical, or highly unlikely.
(d) As an engine manufacturer, your engine is exempt without our
prior approval if you have a written request for an exempted engine
from the equipment manufacturer showing the basis for believing that
the equipment will be used solely for competition. You must permanently
label engines exempted under this section to clearly indicate that they
are to be used solely for competition. Failure to properly label an
engine will void the exemption.
(e) We may discontinue an exemption under this section if we find
that engines are not used solely for competition.
0
259. A new Sec. 1048.635 is added to subpart G to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.635 What special provisions apply to branded engines?
The following provisions apply if you identify the name and
trademark of another company instead of your own on your emission
control information label, as provided by Sec. 1048.135(c)(2):
(a) You must have a contractual agreement with the other company
that obligates that company to take the following steps:
(1) Meet the emission warranty requirements that apply under Sec.
1048.120. This may involve a separate agreement involving reimbursement
of warranty-related expenses.
(2) Report all warranty-related information to the certificate
holder.
(b) In your application for certification, identify the company
whose trademark you will use and describe the arrangements you have
made to meet your requirements under this section.
(c) You remain responsible for meeting all the requirements of this
chapter, including warranty and defect-reporting provisions.

260. Section 1048.801 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1048.801 What definitions apply to this part?
The following definitions apply to this part. The definitions apply
to all subparts unless we note otherwise. All undefined terms have the
meaning the Act gives to them. The definitions follow:
Act means the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
Adjustable parameter means any device, system, or element of design
that someone can adjust (including those which are difficult to access)
and that, if adjusted, may affect emissions or engine performance
during emission testing or normal in-use operation. This includes, but
is not limited to, parameters related to injection timing and fueling
rate. You may ask us to exclude a parameter that is difficult to access
if it cannot be adjusted to affect emissions without significantly
degrading engine performance, or if you otherwise show us that it will
not be adjusted in a way that affects emissions during in-use
operation.
Aftertreatment means relating to a catalytic converter, particulate
filter, or any other system, component, or technology mounted
downstream of the exhaust valve (or exhaust port) whose design function
is to decrease emissions in the engine exhaust before it is exhausted
to the environment. Exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) and turbochargers
are not aftertreatment.
Aircraft means any vehicle capable of sustained air travel above
treetop heights.
All-terrain vehicle has the meaning given in 40 CFR 1051.801.
Amphibious vehicle means a vehicle with wheels or tracks that is
designed primarily for operation on land and secondarily for operation
in water.
Auxiliary emission-control device means any element of design that
senses temperature, motive speed, engine rpm, transmission gear, or any
other parameter for the purpose of activating, modulating, delaying, or
deactivating the operation of any part of the emission-control system.
Blue Sky Series engine means an engine meeting the requirements of
Sec. 1048.140.
Brake power means the usable power output of the engine, not
including power required to fuel, lubricate, or heat the engine,
circulate coolant to the engine, or to operate aftertreatment devices.
Calibration means the set of specifications and tolerances specific
to a particular design, version, or application of a component or
assembly capable of functionally describing its operation over its
working range.
Certification means relating to the process of obtaining a
certificate of conformity for an engine family that complies with the
emission standards and requirements in this part.
Certified emission level means the highest deteriorated emission
level in an engine family for a given pollutant from either transient
or steady-state testing.
Compression-ignition means relating to a type of reciprocating,
internal-combustion engine that is not a spark-ignition engine.
Constant-speed engine means an engine whose certification is
limited to constant-speed operation. Engines whose constant-speed
governor function is removed or disabled are no longer constant-speed
engines.
Constant-speed operation means engine operation with a governor
that controls the operator input to maintain an engine at a reference
speed, even under changing load. For example, an isochronous governor
changes reference speed temporarily during a load change, then returns
the engine to its original reference speed after the engine stabilizes.
Isochronous governors typically allow speed changes up to 1.0 %.
Another example is a speed-droop governor, which has a fixed reference
speed at zero load and allows the reference speed to decrease as load
increases. With speed-droop governors, speed typically decreases (3 to
10) % below the reference speed at zero load, such that the minimum
reference speed occurs near the engine's point of maximum power.
Crankcase emissions means airborne substances emitted to the
atmosphere from any part of the engine crankcase's ventilation or
lubrication systems. The crankcase is the housing for the crankshaft
and other related internal parts.
Critical emission-related component means any of the following
components:
(1) Electronic control units, aftertreatment devices, fuel-metering
components, EGR-system components, crankcase-ventilation valves, all
components related to charge-air compression and cooling, and all
sensors and actuators associated with any of these components.
(2) Any other component whose primary purpose is to reduce
emissions.
Designated Compliance Officer means the Manager, Engine Programs
Group (6405-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.
Designated Enforcement Officer means the Director, Air Enforcement
Division (2242A), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.
Deteriorated emission level means the emission level that results
from applying the appropriate deterioration factor to the official
emission result of the emission-data engine.
Deterioration factor means the relationship between emissions at
the end of useful life and emissions at the low-hour test point,
expressed in one of the following ways:
(1) For multiplicative deterioration factors, the ratio of
emissions at the end of useful life to emissions at the low-hour test
point.
(2) For additive deterioration factors, the difference between
emissions at the end of useful life and emissions at the low-hour test
point.
Discrete-mode means relating to the discrete-mode type of steady-
state test described in Sec. 1048.505.
Emission-control system means any device, system, or element of
design that controls or reduces the regulated emissions from an engine.
Emission-data engine means an engine that is tested for
certification. This includes engines tested to establish deterioration
factors.
Emission-related maintenance means maintenance that substantially
affects emissions or is likely to substantially affect emission
deterioration.

same person are considered to be a single nonroad equipment
manufacturer.
Excluded means relating to an engine that either:
(1) Has been determined not to be a nonroad engine, as specified in
40 CFR 1068.30; or
(2) Is a nonroad engine that, according to Sec. 1048.5, is not
subject to this part 1048.
Exempted has the meaning given in 40 CFR 1068.30.
Exhaust-gas recirculation means a technology that reduces emissions
by routing exhaust gases that had been exhausted from the combustion
chamber(s) back into the engine to be
[[Page 40483]]
mixed with incoming air before or during combustion. The use of valve
timing to increase the amount of residual exhaust gas in the combustion
chamber(s) that is mixed with incoming air before or during combustion
is not considered exhaust-gas recirculation for the purposes of this
part.
Fuel system means all components involved in transporting,
metering, and mixing the fuel from the fuel tank to the combustion
chamber(s), including the fuel tank, fuel tank cap, fuel pump, fuel
filters, fuel lines, carburetor or fuel-injection components, and all
fuel-system vents.
Fuel type means a general category of fuels such as gasoline or
natural gas. There can be multiple grades within a single fuel type,
such as winter-grade and summer-grade gasoline.
Good engineering judgment has the meaning given in 40 CFR 1068.30.
See 40 CFR 1068.5 for the administrative process we use to evaluate
good engineering judgment.
High-cost warranted part means a component covered by the emission-
related warranty with a replacement cost (at the time of certification)
exceeding $400 (in 1998 dollars). Adjust this value using the most
recent annual average consumer price index information published by the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For this definition, replacement cost
includes the retail cost of the part plus labor and standard diagnosis.
High-load engine means an engine for which the engine manufacturer
can provide clear evidence that operation below 75 percent of maximum
load in its final application will be rare.
Hydrocarbon (HC) means the hydrocarbon group on which the emission
standards are based for each fuel type, as described in Sec.
1048.101(e).
Identification number means a unique specification (for example, a
model number/serial number combination) that allows someone to
distinguish a particular engine from other similar engines.
Intermediate test speed has the meaning given in 40 CFR 1065.1001.
Low-hour means relating to an engine with stabilized emissions and
represents the undeteriorated emission level. This would generally
involve less than 300 hours of operation.
Manufacturer has the meaning given in section 216(1) of the Act. In
general, this term includes any person who manufactures an engine,
vehicle, or piece of equipment for sale in the United States or
otherwise introduces a new nonroad engine into commerce in the United
States. This includes importers who import engines, equipment, or
vehicles for resale.
Marine engine means a nonroad engine that is installed or intended
to be installed on a marine vessel. This includes a portable auxiliary
engine only if its fueling, cooling, or exhaust system is an integral
part of the vessel. There are two kinds of marine engines:
(1) Propulsion marine engine means a marine engine that moves a
vessel through the water or directs the vessel's movement.
(2) Auxiliary marine engine means a marine engine not used for
propulsion.

test speed means the speed at which the engine produces peak torque.
Maximum test torque has the meaning given in 40 CFR 1065.1001.
Model year means one of the following things:
(1) For freshly manufactured equipment and engines (see definition
of ``new nonroad engine,'' paragraph (1)), model year means one of the
following:
(i) Calendar year.
(ii) Your annual new model production period if it is different
than the calendar year. This must include January 1 of the calendar
year for which the model year is named. It may not begin before January
2 of the previous calendar year and it must end by December 31 of the
named calendar year.
(2) For an engine that is converted to a nonroad engine after being
placed into service as a motor-vehicle engine or a stationary engine,
model year means the calendar year in which the engine was originally
produced (see definition of ``new nonroad engine,'' paragraph(2)).
(3) For a nonroad engine excluded under Sec. 1048.5 that is later
converted to operate in an application that is not excluded, model year
means the calendar year in which the engine was originally produced
(see definition of ``new nonroad engine,'' paragraph (3)).
(4) For engines that are not freshly manufactured but are installed
in new nonroad equipment, model year means the calendar year in which

New nonroad engine means any of the following things:
(1) A freshly manufactured nonroad engine for which the ultimate
purchaser has never received the equitable or legal title. This kind of
engine might commonly be thought of as ``brand new.'' In the case of
this paragraph (1), the engine becomes new when it is fully assembled
for the first time. The engine is no longer new when the ultimate
purchaser receives the title or the product is placed into service,
whichever comes first.
(2) An engine originally manufactured as a motor-vehicle engine or
a stationary engine that is later intended to be used in a piece of
nonroad equipment. In this case, the engine is no longer a motor-
vehicle or stationary engine and becomes a ``new nonroad engine''. The
engine is no longer new when it is placed into nonroad service.
(3) A nonroad engine that has been previously placed into service
in an application we exclude under Sec. 1048.5, where that engine is
installed in a piece of equipment that is covered by this part 1048.
The engine is no longer new when it is placed into nonroad service
covered by this part 1048. For example, this would apply to a marine-
propulsion engine that is no longer used in a marine vessel.
(4) An engine not covered by paragraphs (1) through (3) of this
definition that is intended to be installed in new nonroad equipment.
The engine is no longer new when the ultimate purchaser receives a

more of paragraphs (1) through (4) of this definition, where the
original engine manufacturer holds the certificate, is new as defined
by those applicable paragraphs.
(ii) An imported nonroad engine covered by a certificate of
conformity issued under this part, where someone other than the
original engine manufacturer holds the certificate (such as when the
engine is modified after its initial assembly), becomes new when it is
imported. It is no longer new when the ultimate purchaser receives a
title for the engine or it is placed into service, whichever comes
first.
(iii) An imported nonroad engine that is not covered by a
certificate of conformity issued under this part at the time of
importation is new, but only if it was produced on or after January 1,
2004. This addresses uncertified engines and equipment initially placed
into service that someone seeks to import into the United States.
Importation of this kind of new nonroad engine (or equipment containing
such an engine) is generally prohibited by 40 CFR part 1068.
New nonroad equipment means either of the following things:

273. Section 1051.103 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1) before
the table and paragraphs (b) introductory text and (c) introductory
text to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.103 What are the exhaust emission standards for
snowmobiles?
(a) * * *
(1) Follow Table 1 of this section for exhaust emission standards.
You may generate or use emission credits under the averaging, banking,
and trading (ABT) program for HC+NOX and CO emissions, as
described in subpart H of this part. This requires that you specify a
family emission limit for each pollutant you include in the ABT program
for each engine family. These family emission limits serve as the
emission standards for the engine family with respect to all required
testing instead of the standards specified in this section. An engine
family meets emission standards evenif its family emission limit is
higher than the standard, as long as you show that the whole averaging
set of applicable engine families meets the applicable emission
standards using emission credits, and the vehicles within the family
meet the family emission limit. The phase-in values specify the
percentage of your U.S.-directed production that must comply with the
emission standards for those model years. Calculate this compliance
percentage based on a simple count of your U.S.-directed production
units within each certified engine family compared with a simple count
of your total U.S.-directed production units. Table 1 also shows the
maximum value you may specify for a family emission limit, as follows:
* * * * *
(b) The exhaust emission standards in this section apply for
snowmobiles using the fuel type on which they are designed to operate.
You must meet the numerical emission standards for hydrocarbons in this
section based on the following types of hydrocarbon emissions for
snowmobiles powered by the following fuels:
* * * * *
(c) Your snowmobiles must meet emission standards over their full
useful life. The minimum useful life is 8,000 kilometers, 400 hours of
engine operation, or five calendar years, whichever comes first. You
must specify a longer useful life in terms of kilometers and hours for
the engine family if the average service life of your vehicles is
longer than the minimum value, as follows:
* * * * *
0
274. Section 1051.105 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1) before
the table and paragraphs (a)(3), (b) introductory text, and (c)
introductory text to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.105 What are the exhaust emission standards for off-highway
motorcycles?
(a) * * *
(1) Follow Table 1 of this section for exhaust emission standards.
You may generate or use emission credits under the averaging, banking,
and trading (ABT) program for HC+NOX and CO emissions, as
described in subpart H of this part. This requires that you specify a
family emission limit for each pollutant you include in the ABT program
for each engine family. These family emission limits serve as the
emission standards for the engine family with respect to all required
testing instead of the standards specified in this section. An engine
family meets emission standards evenif its family emission limit is
higher than the standard, as long as you show that the whole averaging
set of applicable engine families meets the applicable emission
standards using emission credits, and the vehicles within the family
meet the family emission limit. The phase-in values specify the
percentage of your U.S.-directed production that must comply with the
emission standards for those model years. Calculate this compliance
percentage based on a simple count of your U.S.-directed production
units within each certified engine family compared with a simple count
of your total U.S.-directed production units. Table 1 follows:
* * * * *
(3) You may certify off-highway motorcycles with engines that have
total displacement of 70 cc or less to the exhaust emission standards
in Sec. 1051.615 instead of certifying them to the exhaust emission
standards of this section. Count all such vehicles in the phase-in
(percent) requirements of this section.
(b) The exhaust emission standards in this section apply for off-
highway motorcycles using the fuel type on which they are designed to
operate. You must meet the numerical emission standards for
hydrocarbons in this section based on the following types of
hydrocarbon emissions for off-highway
[[Page 40488]]
motorcycles powered by the following fuels:
* * * * *
(c) Your off-highway motorcycles must meet emission standards over
their full useful life. For off-highway motorcycles with engines that
have total displacement greater than 70 cc, the minimum useful life is
10,000 kilometers or five years, whichever comes first. For off-highway
motorcycles with engines that have total displacement of 70 cc or less,
the minimum useful life is 5,000 kilometers or five years, whichever
comes first. You must specify a longer useful life for the engine
family in terms of kilometers if the average service life of your
vehicles is longer than the minimum value, as follows:

275. Section 1051.107 is amended by revising paragraphs (a), (b)
introductory text, and
(c) introductory text to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.107 What are the exhaust emission standards for all-terrain
vehicles (ATVs) and offroad utility vehicles?
* * * * *
(a) Apply the exhaust emission standards in this section by model
year. Measure emissions with the ATV test procedures in subpart F of
this part.
(1) Follow Table 1 of this section for exhaust emission standards.
You may generate or use emission credits under the averaging, banking,
and trading (ABT) program for HC+NOX emissions, as described
in subpart H of this part. This requires that you specify a family
emission limit for each pollutant you include in the ABT program for
each engine family. These family emission limits serve as the emission
standards for the engine family with respect to all required testing
instead of the standards specifiedin this section. An engine family
meets emission standards even if its family emission limit is higher
than the standard, as long as you show that the whole averaging set of
applicable engine families meets the applicable emission standards
using emission credits, and the vehicles within the family meet the
family emission limit. Table 1 also shows the maximum value you may
specify for a family emission limit. The phase-in values in the table
specify the percentage of your total U.S.-directed production that must
comply with the emission standards for those model years.
Calculate this compliance percentage based on a simple count of
your U.S.-directed production units within each certified engine family
compared with a simple count of your total U.S.-directed production
units. This applies to your total production of ATVs and offroad
utility vehicles that are subject to the standards of this part;
including both ATVs and offroad utility vehicles subject to the
standards of this section and ATVs and offroad utility vehicles
certified to the standards of other sections in this part 1051 (such as
Sec. 1051.615, but not including vehicles certified under other parts
in this chapter (such as 40 CFR part 90). Table 1 follows:

(2) You may certify ATVs with engines that have total displacement
of less than 100 cc to the exhaust emission standards in Sec. 1051.615
instead of certifying them to the exhaust emission standards of this
section. Count all such vehicles in the phase-in(percent) requirements
of this section.
(b) The exhaust emission standards in this section apply for ATVs
using the fuel type on which they are designed to operate. You must
meet the numerical emission standards for hydrocarbons in this section
based on the following types of hydrocarbon emissions for ATVs powered
by the following fuels:
* * * * *
(c) Your ATVs must meet emission standards over their full useful
life. For ATVs with engines that have total displacement of 100 cc or
greater, the minimum useful life is 10,000 kilometers, 1000 hours of
engine operation, or five years, whichever comes first. For ATVs with
engines that have total displacement of less than 100 cc, the minimum
useful life is 5,000 kilometers, 500 hours of engine operation, or five
years, whichever comes first. You must specify a longer useful life for
the engine family in terms of kilometers and hours if the average
service life of your vehicles is longer than the minimum value, as

276. Section 1051.110 is amended by revising the introductory text and
paragraph (a) to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.110 What evaporative emission standards must my vehicles
meet?
Your new vehicles must meet the emission standards of this section
over their full useful life. Note that Sec. 1051.245 allows you to use
design-based certification instead of generating new emission data.
(a) Beginning with the 2008 model year, permeation emissions from
your vehicle's fuel tank(s) may not exceed 1.5 grams per square-meter
per day when measured with the test procedures for tank permeation in
subpart F of this part. You may generate or use emission credits under

* * * * *
(a) Closed crankcase. Crankcase emissions may not be discharged
directly into the ambient atmosphere from any vehicle throughout its
useful life.
* * * * *
(c) Adjustable parameters. Vehicles that have adjustable parameters
must meet all the requirements of this part for any adjustment in the
physically adjustable range. Note that parameters that control the air-
fuel ratio may be treated separately under paragraph (d) of this
section. An operating parameter is not considered adjustable if you
permanently sealit or if it is not normally accessible using ordinary
tools. We may require that you set adjustable parameters to any
specification within the adjustable range during any testing,including
[[Page 40489]]
certification testing, production-line testing, or in-use testing.
(d) * * *
(3) * * *
(vi) The adjustable range of carburetor screws, such as air screw,
fuel screw, andidle-speed screw must be defined by stops, limits, or
specification on the jetting chart consistent with the requirements for
specifying jet sizes and needle configuration in this section.
* * * * *
(f) Defeat devices. You may not equip your vehicles with a defeat
device. A defeat device is an auxiliary emission-control device that
reduces the effectiveness of emission controls under conditions that
the vehicle may reasonably be expected to encounter during normal
operation and use. This does not apply to auxiliary emission-control
devices you identify in your certification application if any of the
following is true:
(1) The conditions of concern were substantially included in the
applicable test procedures described in subpart F of this part.
(2) You show your design is necessary to prevent vehicle damage or
accidents.
(3) The reduced effectiveness applies only to starting the engine.
(g) Noise standards. There are no noise standards specified in this
part 1051. See 40 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter G, to determine if your
vehicle must meet noise emission standards under another part of our
regulations.

278. Section 1051.120 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.120 What emission-related warranty requirements apply to
me?
(a) General requirements. You must warrant to the ultimate
purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the new engine, including
all parts of its emission-control system, meets two conditions:
(1) It is designed, built, and equipped so it conforms at the time
of sale to the ultimate purchaser with the requirements of this part.
(2) It is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may
keep it from meeting these requirements.
(b) Warranty period. Your emission-related warranty must be valid
for at least 50 percent of the vehicle's minimum useful life in
kilometers or hours of engine operation (where applicable), or at least
30 months, whichever comes first. You may offer an emission-related
warranty more generous than we require. The emission-related warranty
for the engine may not be shorter than any published warranty you offer
without charge for the engine. Similarly, the emission-related warranty
for any component may not be shorter than any published warranty you
offer without charge for that component. If a vehicle has no odometer,
base warranty periods in this paragraph (b) only on the vehicle's age
(in years). The warranty period begins when the engine is placed into
service.
(c) Components covered. The emission-related warranty covers all
components whose failure would increase an engine's emissions of any
pollutant. This includes components listed in 40 CFR part 1068,
Appendix I, and components from any other system you develop to control
emissions. The emission-related warranty covers these components even
if another company produces the component. Your emission-related
warranty does not cover components whose failure would not increase an
engine's emissions of any pollutant.
(d) Limited applicability. You may deny warranty claims under this
section if the operator caused the problem through improper maintenance
or use, as described in 40CFR 1068.115. You may ask us to allow you to
exclude from your emission-related warranty certified vehicles that
have been used significantly for competition, especially certified
motorcycles that meet at least four of the criteria in Sec.
1051.620(b)(1).
(e) Owners manual. Describe in the owners manual the emission-
related warranty provisions from this section that apply to the engine.

the emission-control system. The maintenance instructions also apply to
service accumulation on your emission-data vehicles, as described in
Sec. 1051.240, Sec. 1051.245, and 40 CFR part 1065.
(a) Critical emission-related maintenance. Critical emission-
related maintenanceincludes any adjustment, cleaning, repair, or
replacement of critical emission-related components. This may also
include additional emission-related maintenance that you determine is
critical if we approve it in advance. You may schedule critical
emission-related maintenance on these components if you meet the
following conditions:
(1) You demonstrate that the maintenance is reasonably likely to be
done at the recommended intervals on in-use vehicles. We will accept
scheduled maintenance as reasonably likely to occur if you satisfy any
of the following conditions:
(i) You present data showing that, if a lack of maintenance
increases emissions, it also unacceptably degrades the vehicle's
performance.
(ii) You present survey data showing that at least 80 percent of
vehicles in the field get the maintenance you specify at the
recommended intervals.
(iii) You provide the maintenance free of charge and clearly say so
in maintenanceinstructions for the customer.
(iv) You otherwise show us that the maintenance is reasonably
likely to be done at the recommended intervals.
(2) You may not schedule critical emission-related maintenance
within the minimum useful life period for aftertreatment devices,
pulse-air valves, fuel injectors, oxygen sensors, electronic control
units, superchargers, or turbochargers.
(b) Recommended additional maintenance. You may recommend any
additional amount of maintenance on the components listed in paragraph
(a) of this section, as long as you state clearly that these
maintenance steps are not necessary to keep the emission-related
warranty valid. If operators do the maintenance specified in paragraph
(a) of this section, but not the recommended additional maintenance,
this does not allow you to disqualifythose vehicles from in-use testing
or deny a warranty claim. Do not take these maintenance steps during
service accumulation on your emission-data vehicles.
(c) Special maintenance. You may specify more frequent maintenance
to address problems related to special situations, such as atypical
vehicle operation. You must clearly state that this additional
maintenance is associated with the special situation you are
addressing.
(d) Noncritical emission-related maintenance. You may schedule any
amount of emission-related inspection or maintenance that is not
covered by paragraph (a) of this section, as long as you state in the
owners manual that these steps are not necessary to keep the emission-
related warranty valid. If operators fail to do this maintenance, this
does not allow you to disqualify those vehicles from in-use testing or
deny a warranty claim. Do not take these inspection or maintenance
steps during service accumulation on your emission-data vehicles.
(e) Maintenance that is not emission-related. For maintenance
unrelated to emission controls, you may schedule any amount of
inspection or maintenance. You may also takethese
[[Page 40490]]
inspection or maintenance steps during service accumulation on your
emission-data vehicles, as long as they are reasonable and
technologically necessary. This mightinclude adding engine oil,
changing air, fuel, or oil filters, servicing engine-cooling systems,
and adjusting idle speed, governor, engine bolt torque, valve lash, or
injector lash, or adjusting chain tension, clutch position, or tire
pressure. You may perform this nonemission-related maintenance on
emission-data vehicles at the least frequent intervalsthat you
recommend to the ultimate purchaser (but not the intervals recommended
for severe service). You may also visually inspect test vehicles or
engines, including emission-related components, as needed to ensure
safe operation.
(f) Source of parts and repairs. State clearly on the first page of
your written maintenanceinstructions that a repair shop or person of
the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or repair emission-control
devices and systems. Your instructions may not require components or
service identified by brand, trade, or corporate name. Also, do not
directly or indirectly condition your warranty on a requirement that
the vehicle be serviced by your franchised dealers or any other service
establishments with which you have a commercial relationship. You may
disregard the requirements in this paragraph (f) if you do one of two
things:
(1) Provide a component or service without charge under the
purchase agreement.
(2) Get us to waive this prohibition in the public's interest by
convincing us the vehicle will work properly only with the identified
component or service.
(g) Payment for scheduled maintenance. Owners are responsible for
properly maintainingtheir vehicles. This generally includes paying for
scheduled maintenance. However, manufacturers must pay for scheduled
maintenance during the useful life if it meets allthe following
criteria:
(1) Each affected component was not in general use on similar
vehicles before the 2006 model year.
(2) The primary function of each affected component is to reduce
emissions.
(3) The cost of the scheduled maintenance is more than 2 percent of
the price of the vehicle.
(4) Failure to perform the maintenance would not cause clear
problems that would significantly degrade the vehicle's performance.
(h) Owners manual. Explain the owner's responsibility for proper
maintenance in the owners manual.

280. Section 1051.130 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.130 What installation instructions must I give to vehicle
manufacturers?
(a) If you sell an engine for someone else to install in a piece of
nonroad equipment, givethe engine installer instructions for installing
it consistent with the requirements of this part. Include all
information necessary to ensure that an engine will be installed in its
certified configuration.
(b) Make sure these instructions have the following information:
(1) Include the heading: ``Emission-related installation
instructions''.
(2) State: ``Failing to follow these instructions when installing a
certified engine in a piece of nonroad equipment violates federal law
(40 CFR 1068.105(b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described
in the Clean Air Act.''.
(3) Describe the instructions needed to properly install the
exhaust system and any other components. Include instructions
consistent with the requirements of Sec. 1051.205(r).
(4) Describe the steps needed to comply with the evaporative
emission standards in Sec. 1051.110.
(5) Describe any limits on the range of applications needed to
ensure that the engine operates consistently with your application for
certification. For example, if your engines are certified only to the
snowmobile standards, tell vehicle manufacturers notto install the
engines in other vehicles.
(6) Describe any other instructions to make sure the installed
engine will operate according to design specifications in your
application for certification. This mayinclude, for example,
instructions for installing aftertreatment devices when installing the
engines.
(7) State: ``If you install the engine in a way that makes the
engine's emission controlinformation label hard to read during normal
engine maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the vehicle, as
described in 40 CFR 1068.105.''.
(c) You do not need installation instructions for engines you
install in your own vehicles.
(d) Provide instructions in writing or in an equivalent format. For
example, you may post instructions on a publicly available Web site for
downloading or printing. If you do not provide the instructions in
writing, explain in your application for certification how you will
ensure that each installer is informed of the installation
requirements.

281. Section 1051.135 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.135 How must I label and identify the vehicles I produce?
Each of your vehicles must have three labels: a vehicle
identification number as described in paragraph (a) of this section, an
emission control information label as described in paragraphs (b)
through (e) of this section, and a consumer information label as
describedin Sec. 1051.137.
(a) Assign each vehicle a unique identification number and
permanently affix, engrave, or stamp it on the vehicle in a legible
way.
(b) At the time of manufacture, affix a permanent and legible
emission control information label identifying each vehicle. The label
must be
(1) Attached so it is not removable without being destroyed or
defaced.
(2) Secured to a part of the vehicle (or engine) needed for normal
operation and not normally requiring replacement.
(3) Durable and readable for the vehicle's entire life.
(4) Written in English.
(c) The label must--
(1) Include the heading ``EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION''.
(2) Include your full corporate name and trademark. You may
identify another company and use its trademark instead of yours if you
comply with the provisions of Sec. 1051.645.
(3) Include EPA's standardized designation for engine families, as
described in Sec. 1051.230.
(4) State the engine's displacement (in liters). You may omit this
from the emission control information label if the vehicle is
permanently labeled with a unique model name that corresponds to a
specific displacement. Also, you may omit displacement from the label
if all the engines in the engine family have the same per-cylinder
displacement and total displacement.
(5) State: ``THIS VEHICLE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ON [specify
operating fuel or fuels].''.
(6) State the date of manufacture [MONTH and YEAR]. You may omit
this from the label if you keep a record of the engine-manufacture
dates and provide it to us upon request, or if you stamp the date on
the engine or vehicle.
(7) State the exhaust emission standards or FELs to which the
vehicles are certified.
(8) Identify the emission-control system. Use terms and
abbreviations consistent withSAE J1930 (incorporated by reference in
Sec. 1051.810). You may omit this information from the label if
[[Page 40491]]
there is not enough room for it and you put it in the owners
manualinstead.
(9) List specifications and adjustments for engine tuneups; show
the proper position for the transmission during tuneup and state which
accessories should be operating.
(10) Identify the fuel type and any requirements for fuel and
lubricants. You may omit this information from the label if there is
not enough room for it and you put it in the owners manual instead.
(11) State the useful life for your engine family if it is
different than the minimum value.
(12) State: ``S VEHICLE MEETS U.S. EPA REGULATIONS FOR [MODEL YEAR]
[SNOWMOBILES or OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLES or ATVs or OFFROAD UTILITY
VEHICLES].''.
(d) You may add information to the emission control information
label to identify other emission standards that the vehicle meets or
does not meet (such as California standards). You may also add other
information to ensure that the engine will be properly maintained and
used.
(e) You may ask us to approve modified labeling requirements in
this part 1051 if you show that it is necessary or appropriate. We will
approve your request if your alternate label is consistent with the
requirements of this part.
(f) If you obscure the engine label while installing the engine in
the equipment such thatthe label will be hard to read during normal
maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment. If
others install your engine in their equipment in a way that obscuresthe
engine label, we require them to add a duplicate label on the equipment
(see 40 CFR 1068.105); in that case, give them the number of duplicate
labels they request and keepthe following records for at least five
years:
(1) Written documentation of the request from the equipment
manufacturer.
(2) The number of duplicate labels you send and the date you sent
them.
(g) Label every vehicle certified under this part with a removable
hang-tag showing its emission characteristics relative to other models,
as described in Sec. 1051.137.
0
282. A new Sec. 1051.137 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.137 What are the consumer labeling requirements?
Label every vehicle certified under this part with a removable
hang-tag showing its emission characteristics relative to other models.
The label should be attached securely to the vehicle before it is
offered for sale in such a manner that it would not be accidentally
removed prior to sale. Use the applicable equations of this section to
determine the normalized emission rate (NER) from the FEL for your
vehicle. If the vehicle is certified without using the averaging
provisions of subpart H, use the final deteriorated emission level.
Round the resulting normalized emission rate for your vehicle to one
decimal place. If the calculated NER value is less than zero, consider
NER to be zero for that vehicle. We may specify a standardized format
for labels. At a minimum, the tag should include: the manufacturer's
name, vehicle model name, engine description (500 cc two-stroke with
DFI), the NER, and a brief explanation of the scale (for example, note
that 0 is the cleanest and 10 is the least clean).
(a) For snowmobiles, use the following equation:
NER = 16.61 x log (2.667 x HC + CO)-38.22
Where:
HC and CO are the cycle-weighted FELs (or emission rates) for
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in g/kW-hr.
(b) For off-highway motorcycles, use the following equations:
(1) For off-highway motorcycles certified to the standards in Sec.
1051.105, use one of the equations specified below.
(i) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions less than or
equal to 2.0 g/km, use the following equation:
NER = 2.500 x (HC+NOX)
Where:
HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.
(ii) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions greater than
2.0 g/km, use the following equation:
NER = 5.000 x log(HC+NOX)+ 3.495
Where:
HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.
(2) For off-highway motorcycles certified to the standards in Sec.
1051.615(b), use the following equation:
NER = 8.782 x log(HC+NOX) -5.598
Where:
HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/kW-hr.
(c) For ATVs, use the following equations:
(1) For ATVs certified to the standards in Sec. 1051.107, use one
of the equations specified below.
(i) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions less than or
equal to 1.5 g/km, use the following equation:
NER = 3.333 x (HC+NOX)
Where:
HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.
(ii) If the vehicle has HC + NOX emissions greater than
1.5 g/km, use the following equation:
NER = 4.444 x log(HC+NOX)+4.217
Where:
HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/km.
(2) For ATVs certified to the standards in Sec. 1051.615(a), use
the following equation:
NER = 8.782 x log(HC + NOX) -7.277
Where:
HC+NOX is the FEL (or the sum of the cycle-weighted emission
rates) for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/kW-hr.

283. Section 1051.145 is amended by removing and reserving paragraph
(c), revising paragraphs (a)(3)(iv), (a)(4), (b)(1) before the table,
(b)(3), (e), and (g), and adding paragraphs (a)(3)(v), (a)(3)(vi), and
(h) to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.145 What provisions apply only for a limited time?
* * * * *
(a) * * *
(3) * * *
(iv) Show that fewer than 50 percent of the engine family's total
sales in the United States are used in recreational vehicles regulated
under this part. This includes engines used in any application, without
regard to which company manufactures the vehicle or equipment.
(v) If your engines do not meet the criteria listed in paragraph
(a) of this section, they will be subject to the provisions of this
part. Introducing these engines into commerce without a valid exemption
or certificate of conformity violates the prohibitions in 40 CFR
1068.101.
(vi) Engines exempted under this paragraph (a)(3) are subject to
all the requirements affecting engines under 40 CFR part 90. The
requirements and restrictions of 40 CFR part 90 apply to anyone
manufacturing these engines, anyone manufacturing equipment that
[[Page 40492]]
uses these engines, and all other persons in the same manner as other
engines subject to 40 CFR part 90.
(4) All vehicles produced under this paragraph (a) must be labeled
according to our specifications. The label must include the following:
(i) The heading ``EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION''.
(ii) Your full corporate name and trademark.
(iii) A description of the provisions under which this section
applies to your vehicle .
(iv) Other information that we specify to you in writing.
(b) * * *
(1) Follow Table 1 of this section for exhaust emission standards,
while meeting all the other requirements of Sec. 1051.107. You may use
emission credits to show compliance with these standards (see subpart H
of this part). You may not exchange emission credits with engine
families meeting the standards in Sec. 1051.107(a). You may also not
exchange credits between engine families certified to the standards for
engines above 225 cc and engine families certified to the standards for
engines below 225 cc. The phase-in percentages in the table specify the
percentage of your total U.S.-directed production that must comply with
the emission standards for those model years (i.e., the percentage
requirement does not apply separately for engine families above and
below 225 cc). Table 1 follows:
* * * * *
(3) For ATVs certified to the standards in this paragraph (b), use
the following equations to determine the normalized emission rate
required by Sec. 1051.137:
(i) For engines at or above 225 cc, use the following equation:
NER = 9.898 x log (HC + NOX) - 4.898
Where:
HC +NOX is the sum of the cycle-weighted emission rates for
hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/kW-hr.
(ii) For engines below 225 cc, use the following equation:
NER = 9.898 x log [(HC+NOX) 0.83] - 4.898
Where:
HC +NOX is the sum of the cycle-weighted emission rates for
hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in g/kW-hr.
* * * * *
(e) Raw sampling procedures. Using good engineering judgment, you
may use the alternate raw-sampling procedures instead of the procedures
described in 40 CFR part 1065 for emission testing certain vehicles, as
follows:
(1) Snowmobile. You may use the raw sampling procedures described
in 40 CFR part 90 or 91 for snowmobiles before the 2010 model year.
(2) ATV. You may use the raw sampling procedures described in 40
CFR part 90 or 91 for ATVs certified to the standards in Sec. 1051.615
before the 2011 model year. You may use these raw sampling procedures
for ATVs certified to the standards in Sec. 1051.107 or Sec.
1051.145(b) before the 2009 model year.
* * * * *
(g) Pull-ahead option for permeation emissions. Manufacturers
choosing to comply with an early tank permeation standard of 3.0 g/
m\2\/day prior to model year 2008 may be allowed to delay compliance
with the 1.5 g/m\2\/day standard by earning credits, as follows:
(1) Calculate earned credits using the following equation:
Credit = (Baseline emissions - Pull-ahead level) x
[lsqbb][Sigma]i(Production)i x
(UL)i[rsqbb]
Where:
Baseline emissions = the baseline emission rate, as determined in
paragraph (g)(2) of this section.
Pull-ahead level = the permeation level to which you certify the tank,
which must be at or below 3.0 g/m\2\/day.
(Production)i = the annual production volume of vehicles in
the engine family for model year ``i'' times the average internal
surface area of the vehicles' fuel tanks.
(UL)i = The useful life of the engine family in model year
``i''.
(2) Determine the baseline emission level for calculating credits
using any of the following values:
(i) 7.6 g/m\2\/day.
(ii) The emission rate measured from your lowest-emitting,
uncontrolled fuel tank from the current or previous model year using
the procedures in Sec. 1051.515. For example, this would generally
involve the fuel tank with the greatest wall thickness for a given
material.
(iii) The emission rate measured from an uncontrolled fuel tank
that is the same as or most similar to the model you have used during
the current or previous model year. However, you may use this approach
only if you use it to establish a baseline emission level for each
unique tank model you produce using the procedures in Sec. 1051.515.
(3) Pull-ahead tanks under this option must be certified and must
meet all applicable requirements other than those limited to compliance
with the exhaust standards.
(4) You may use credits generated under this paragraph (g) as
specified in subpart H of this part.
(h) Deficit credits for permeation standards. For 2008 through 2010
model years, you may have a negative balance of emission credits
relative to the permeation emission standards at the end of each model
year, subject to the following provisions:
(1) You must eliminate any credit deficit we allow under this
paragraph (h) by the end of the 2011 model year. If you are unable to
eliminate your credit deficit by the end of the 2011 model year, we may
void the certificates for all families certified to FELs above the
allowable average, for all affected model years.
(2) State in your application for certification a statement whether
you will have a negative balance of permeation emission credits for
that model year. If you project that you will have a negative balance,
estimate the credit deficit for each affected model year and present a
detailed plan to show where and when you will get credits to offset the
deficit by the end of the 2011 model year.
(3) In your end-of-year report under Sec. 1051.730, state whether
your credit deficit is larger or smaller than you projected in your
application for certification. If the deficit is larger than projected,
include in your end-of-year report an update to your detailed plan to
show how you will eliminate the credit deficit by the end of the 2011
model year.

284. Section 1051.201 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.201 What are the general requirements for obtaining a
certificate of conformity?
(a) You must send us a separate application for a certificate of
conformity for each engine family. A certificate of conformity is valid
from the indicated effective date until December 31 of the model year
for which it is issued.
(b) The application must contain all the information required by
this part and must not include false or incomplete statements or
information (see Sec. 1051.255).
(c) We may ask you to include less information than we specify in
this subpart, as long as you maintain all the information required by
Sec. 1051.250.
(d) You must use good engineering judgment for all decisions
related to your application (see 40 CFR 1068.5).
(e) An authorized representative of your company must approve and
sign the application.
[[Page 40493]]
(f) See Sec. 1051.255 for provisions describing how we will
process your application.
(g) We may require you to deliver your test vehicles or engines to
a facility we designate for our testing (see Sec. 1051.235(c)).

285. Section 1051.205 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 1051.205 What must I include in my application?
This section specifies the information that must be in your
application, unless we ask you to include less information under Sec.
1051.201(c). We may require you to provide additional information to
evaluate your application.
(a) Describe the engine family's specifications and other basic
parameters of the vehicle's design and emission controls. List the fuel
type on which your engines are designed to operate (for example,
gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, methanol, or natural gas). List
vehicle configurations and model names that are included in the engine
family.
(b) Explain how the emission-control system operates. Describe the
evaporative emission controls. Also describe in detail all system
components for controlling exhaust emissions, including all auxiliary-
emission control devices (AECDs) and all fuel-system components you
will install on any production or test vehicle or engine. Identify the
part number of each component you describe. For this paragraph (b),
treat as separate AECDs any devices that modulate or activate
differently from each other. Include all the following:
(1) Give a general overview of the engine, the emission-control
strategies, and all AECDs.
(2) Describe each AECD's general purpose and function.
(3) Identify the parameters that each AECD senses (including
measuring, estimating, calculating, or empirically deriving the
values). Include vehicle-based parameters and state whether you
simulate them during testing with the applicable procedures.
(4) Describe the purpose for sensing each parameter.
(5) Identify the location of each sensor the AECD uses.
(6) Identify the threshold values for the sensed parameters that
activate the AECD.
(7) Describe the parameters that the AECD modulates (controls) in
response to any sensed parameters, including the range of modulation
for each parameter, the relationship between the sensed parameters and
the controlled parameters and how the modulation achieves the AECD's
stated purpose. Use graphs and tables, as necessary.
(8) Describe each AECD's specific calibration details. This may be
in the form of data tables, graphical representations, or some other
description.
(9) Describe the hierarchy among the AECDs when multiple AECDs
sense or modulate the same parameter. Describe whether the strategies
interact in a comparative or additive manner and identify which AECD
takes precedence in responding, if applicable.
(10) Explain the extent to which the AECD is included in the
applicable test procedures specified in subpart F of this part.
(11) Do the following additional things for AECDs designed to
protect engines or vehicles:
(i) Identify the engine and/or vehicle design limits that make
protection necessary and describe any damage that would occur without
the AECD.
(ii) Describe how each sensed parameter relates to the protected
components' design limits or those operating conditions that cause the
need for protection.
(iii) Describe the relationship between the design limits/
parameters being protected and the parameters sensed or calculated as
surrogates for those design limits/parameters, if applicable.
(iv) Describe how the modulation by the AECD prevents engines and/
or equipment from exceeding design limits.
(v) Explain why it is necessary to estimate any parameters instead
of measuring them directly and describe how the AECD calculates the
estimated value, if applicable.
(vi) Describe how you calibrate the AECD modulation to activate
only during conditions related to the stated need to protect components
and only as needed to sufficiently protect those components in a way
that minimizes the emissionimpact.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Describe the vehicles or engines you selected for testing and
the reasons for selecting them.
(e) Describe the test equipment and procedures that you used,
including any special or alternate test procedures you used (see Sec.
1051.501).
(f) Describe how you operated the emission-data vehicle before
testing, including the duty cycle and the extent of engine operation
used to stabilize emission levels. Explain why you selected the method
of service accumulation. Describe any scheduled maintenance you did.
(g) List the specifications of the test fuel to show that it falls
within the required ranges we specify in 40 CFR part 1065.
(h) Identify the engine family's useful life.
(i) Include the maintenance instructions you will give to the
ultimate purchaser of each new vehicle (see Sec. 1051.125).
(j) Include the emission-related installation instructions you will
provide if someone else installs your engines in a vehicle (see Sec.
1051.130).
(k) Describe the labels you create to meet the requirements of
Sec. 1051.135.
(l) Identify the exhaust emission standards or FELs to which you
are certifying engines in the engine family.
(m) Identify the engine family's deterioration factors and describe
how you developed them (see Sec. 1051.243 and Sec. 1051.245). Present
any emission test data you used for this.
(n) State that you operated your emission-data vehicles as
described in the application (including the test procedures, test
parameters, and test fuels) to show you meet the requirements of this
part.
(o) Present emission data to show that you meet emission standards,
as follows:
(1) Present emission data for hydrocarbons (such as NMHC or THCE,
as applicable), NOX, and CO on an emission-data vehicle to
show your vehicles meet the applicable exhaust emission standards we
specify in subpart B of this part. Show emission figures before and
after applying deterioration factors for each pollutant and for each
vehicle or engine. If we specify more than one grade of any fuel type
(for example, a summer grade and winter grade of gasoline), you need to
submit test data only for one grade, unless the regulations of this
part specify otherwise for your engine.
(2) Present evaporative test data for hydrocarbons to show your
vehicles meet the evaporative emission standards we specify in subpart
B of this part. Show emission figures before and after applying
deterioration factors for each vehicle or engine, where applicable. If
you did not perform the testing, identify the source of the test data.
(3) Note that Sec. 1051.235 and Sec. 1051.245 allow you to submit
an application in certain cases without new emission data.
(p) Report all test results, including those from invalid tests or
from any other tests, whether or not they were conducted according to
the test procedures of subpart F of this part. If you measure
CO2, report those emission levels. We may ask you to send
other information to confirm that your tests
[[Page 40494]]
were valid under the requirements of this part and 40 CFR part 1065.
(q) Describe all adjustable operating parameters (see Sec.
1051.115(e)), including production tolerances. Include the following in
your description of each parameter:
(1) The nominal or recommended setting.
(2) The intended physically adjustable range.
(3) The limits or stops used to establish adjustable ranges.
(4) Information showing why the limits, stops, or other means of
inhibiting adjustment are effective in preventing adjustment of
parameters on in-use engines to settings outside your intended
physically adjustable ranges.
(r) Confirm that your emission-related installation instructions
specify how to ensure that sampling of exhaust emissions will be
possible after engines are installed in equipment and placed in
service. If this cannot be done by simply adding a 20-centimeter
extension to the exhaust pipe, show how to sample exhaust emissions in
a way that prevents diluting the exhaust sample with ambient air.
