                   Subpart C--Certification Provisions
 
Sec. 94.203  Application for certification.

    (a) For each engine family that complies with all applicable 
standards and requirements, the manufacturer shall submit to the 
Administrator a completed application for a certificate of conformity.
    (b) The application shall be approved and signed by the authorized 
representative of the manufacturer.
    (c) The application shall be updated and corrected by amendment, 
where necessary, as provided for in Sec. 94.210 to accurately reflect 
the manufacturer's production.
    (d) Each application shall include all the following information:
    (1)(i) A description of the basic engine design, including but not 
limited to, the engine family specifications, the provisions of which 
are contained in Sec. 94.204.
    (ii) A list of distinguishable configurations to be included in the 
engine family.
    (2) An explanation of how the emission control system operates, 
including detailed descriptions of:
    (i) All emission control system components;

[[Page 612]]

    (ii) The injection timing map or maps (i.e., degrees before or after 
top-dead-center), and any functional dependence of such timing on other 
operational parameters (e.g., engine coolant temperature or engine 
speed);
    (iii) Each auxiliary emission control device (AECD); and
    (iv) All fuel system components to be installed on any production or 
test engine(s).
    (3) A description of the test engine.
    (4) Special or alternate test procedures, if applicable.
    (5) A description of the operating cycle and the period of operation 
necessary to accumulate service hours on the test engine and stabilize 
emission levels.
    (6) A description of all adjustable operating parameters (e.g., 
injection timing and fuel rate), including all the following:
    (i) The nominal or recommended setting and the associated production 
tolerances.
    (ii) The physically adjustable range (Note: if this is different 
than the intended adjustable range, describe why these are different).
    (iii) The limits or stops used to limit adjustable ranges.
    (iv) Production tolerances of the limits or stops used to establish 
each physically adjustable range.
    (v) Information relating to the reason that the physical limits or 
stops used to establish the physically adjustable range of each 
parameter, or any other means used to inhibit adjustment, are the most 
effective means possible of preventing adjustment of parameters to 
settings outside the manufacturer's specified adjustable ranges on in-
use engines.
    (7) For families participating in the averaging, banking, and 
trading program, the information specified in subpart D of this part.
    (8) Projected U.S.-directed production volume information for each 
configuration.
    (9) A description of the test equipment and fuel used.
    (10) All test data obtained by the manufacturer on each test engine.
    (11) The intended useful life period for the engine family, in 
accordance with Sec. 94.9(a).
    (12) The intended deterioration factors for the engine family, in 
accordance with Sec. 94.218.
    (13) All information required for EPA to interpret all messages and 
parameters broadcast on an engine's controller area network, including 
but not limited to message or parameter identification, scaling, limit, 
offset, and transfer function. (The manufacturer may reference publicly 
released controller area network standards where applicable. The format 
of this information shall be provided in a format similar to publicly 
released documents pertaining to controller area network standards.)
    (14) (i) For Category 1 and Category 2 engines, a statement that the 
all the engines included in the engine family comply with the Not To 
Exceed standards specified in Sec. 94.8(e) when operated under all 
conditions which may reasonably be expected to be encountered in normal 
operation and use; the manufacturer also must provide a detailed 
description of all testing, engineering analyses, and other information 
which provides the basis for this statement.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (15) An unconditional statement certifying that all engines included 
in the engine family comply with all requirements of this part and the 
Clean Air Act.
    (16) A statement indicating duty-cycle and application of the engine 
(e.g., used to propel planing vessels, use to propel vessels with 
variable-pitch propellers, constant-speed auxiliary, recreational, 
etc.).
    (e) At the Administrator's request, the manufacturer shall supply 
such additional information as may be required to evaluate the 
application.
    (f)(1) If the manufacturer submits some or all of the information 
specified in paragraph (d) of this section in advance of its full 
application for certification, the Administrator shall review the 
information and make the determinations required in Sec. 94.208 (d) 
within 90 days of the manufacturer's submittal.
    (2) The 90-day decision period is exclusive of any elapsed time 
during

[[Page 613]]

which EPA is waiting for additional information requested from a 
manufacturer regarding an adjustable parameter (the 90-day period 
resumes upon receipt of the manufacturer's response). For example, if 
EPA requests additional information 30 days after the manufacturer 
submits information under paragraph (f)(1) of this section, then the 
Administrator would make a determination within 60 days of the receipt 
of the requested information from the manufacturer.
    (g)(1) The Administrator may modify the information submission 
requirements of paragraph (d) of this section, provided that all of the 
information specified therein is maintained by the manufacturer as 
required by Sec. 94.215, and amended, updated, or corrected as 
necessary.
    (2) For the purposes of this paragraph (g), Sec. 94.215 includes all 
information specified in paragraph (d) of this section, whether or not 
such information is actually submitted to the Administrator for any 
particular model year.
    (3) The Administrator may review a manufacturer's records at any 
time. At the Administrator's discretion, this review may take place 
either at the manufacturer's facility or at another facility designated 
by the Administrator.
