Sec. 1048.135  How must I label and identify the engines I produce?

    (a) Assign each production engine a unique identification number and 
permanently and legibly affix, engrave, or stamp it on the engine.
    (b) At the time of manufacture, add a permanent emission control 
information label identifying each engine. To meet labeling 
requirements, do four things:
    (1) Attach the label in one piece so it is not removable without 
being destroyed or defaced.
    (2) Design and produce it to be durable and readable for the 
engine's entire life.
    (3) Secure it to a part of the engine needed for normal operation 
and not normally requiring replacement.
    (4) Write it in block letters in English.

    (c) On your engine's emission control information label, do 13 
things:
    (1) Include the heading ``EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION''.
    (2) Include your full corporate name and trademark.
    (3) State: ``THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ON [specify 
operating fuel or fuels].''.
    (4) Identify the emission-control system; your identifiers must use 
names and abbreviations consistent with SAE J1930 (incorporated by 
reference in Sec. 1048.810).
    (5) List all requirements for fuel and lubricants.
    (6) State the date of manufacture (DAY (optional), MONTH, and YEAR); 
if you stamp this information on the engine and print it in the owner's 
manual, you may omit it from the emission control information label.
    (7) State: ``THIS ENGINE MEETS U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 
REGULATIONS FOR (MODEL YEAR) LARGE NONROAD SI ENGINES.''.
    (8) Include EPA's standardized designation for the engine family 
(and subfamily, where applicable).
    (9) State the engine's displacement (in liters) and maximum brake 
power.
    (10) State the engine's useful life (see Sec. 1048.101(g)).
    (11) List specifications and adjustments for engine tuneups; show 
the proper position for the transmission during tuneup and state which 
accessories should be operating.
    (12) Describe other information on proper maintenance and use.
    (13) Identify the emission standards to which you have certified the 
engine.
    (d) Some of your engines may need more information on the emission 
control information label.
    (1) If you have an engine family that has been certified only for 
constant-speed engines, add to the engine label ``CONSTANT-SPEED ONLY''.
    (2) If you have an engine family that has been certified only for 
variable-speed engines, add to the engine label ``VARIABLE-SPEED ONLY''.
    (3) If you have an engine family that has been certified only for 
high-load engines, add to the engine label ``THIS ENGINE IS NOT INTENDED 
FOR OPERATION AT LESS THAN 75 PERCENT OF FULL LOAD.''.
    (4) If you certify an engine to the voluntary standards in Sec. 
1048.140, add to the engine label ``BLUE SKY SERIES''.
    (5) If you produce an engine we exempt from the requirements of this 
part, see subpart G of this part and 40 CFR part 1068, subparts C and D, 
for more label information.
    (6) If you certify an engine family under Sec. 1048.101(d) (and 
show in your application for certification that in-use engines will 
experience infrequent high-load operation), add to the engine label 
``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.
    (e) Some engines may not have enough space for an emission control 
information label with all the required information. In this case, you 
may omit the information required in paragraphs (c)(3), (c)(4), (c)(5), 
and (c)(12) of this section if you print it in the owner's manual 
instead.
    (f) If you are unable to meet these labeling requirements, you may 
ask us to modify them consistent with the intent of this section.
