being certified as if it were a new vehicle or engine.
(2) If a vehicle or engine to be converted was originally certified
to a NOX or particulate family emission limit other than the
applicable new vehicle NOX or particulate standard, the
family emission limit is the applicable standard.
(b) The emission standards applicable to conversions of 1992 and
earlier model year vehicles and engines are:
(1) Exhaust hydrocarbons (as applicable by fuel type). The Tier 0
hydrocarbon standards, as applicable by vehicle class, contained in
