Sec.  1039.515  What are the test procedures related to not-to-exceed standards?

    (a) General provisions. The provisions in 40 CFR 86.1370-2007 apply 
for determining whether an engine meets the not-to-exceed emission 
standards in Sec.  1039.101(e). Interpret references to vehicles and 
vehicle operation to mean equipment and equipment operation.
    (b) Special PM zone. For engines certified to a PM standard or FEL 
above 0.07 g/kW-hr, a modified NTE control area applies for PM emissions 
only. The speeds and loads to be excluded are determined based on speeds 
B and C, determined according to the provisions of 40 CFR 86.1360-
2007(c). One of the following provisions applies:
    (1) If the C speed is below 2400 rpm, exclude the speed and load 
points to the right of or below the line formed by connecting the 
following two points on a plot of speed-vs.-power:
    (i) 30% of maximum power at the B speed; however, use the power 
value corresponding to the engine operation at 30% of maximum torque at 
the B speed if this is greater than 30% of maximum power at the B speed.
    (ii) 70% of maximum power at 100% speed.
    (2) If the C speed is at or above 2400 rpm, exclude the speed and 
load points to the right of the line formed by connecting the two points 
in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section (the 30% and 50% 
torque/power points) and

below the line formed by connecting the two points in paragraphs 
(b)(2)(ii) and (iii) of this section (the 50% and 70% torque/power 
points). The 30%, 50%, and 70% torque/power points are defined as 
follows:
    (i) 30% of maximum power at the B speed; however, use the power 
value corresponding to the engine operation at 30% of maximum torque at 
the B speed if this is greater than 30% of maximum power at the B speed.
    (ii) 50% of maximum power at 2400 rpm.
    (iii) 70% of maximum power at 100% speed.
