2015-02-19; vol. 80 # 33 - Thursday, February 19, 2015 80 FR 9078 - Amendments Related to: Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards, Nonroad Engine and Equipment Programs, and MARPOL Annex VI Implementation
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Direct final rule. This final rule is effective on May 5, 2015, without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by April 6, 2015. If EPA receives adverse comment on any provisions of the rule, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that those specific provisions will not take effect. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this regulation is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of May 5, 2015. 40 CFR Parts 59, 80, 85, 86, 600, 1037, 1043, 1051, 1054, 1060, 1065, and 1066 Summary The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action on several amendments involving technical clarifications for different mobile source regulations. First, we are making a variety of corrections to the Tier 3 motor vehicle emission and fuel standards. These changes generally correct or clarify various provisions from the Tier 3 rule without expanding the Tier 3 program or otherwise making substantive changes. Second, we are revising the test procedures and compliance provisions for nonroad spark-ignition engines at or below 19 kW (and for the corresponding nonroad equipment) to conform to current practices. The changes to evaporative emission test procedures also apply to some degree to other types of nonroad equipment powered by volatile liquid fuels. Third, we are addressing an ambiguity regarding permissible design approaches for portable fuel containers meeting evaporative emission standards. Fourth, we are revising the regulations to more carefully align with current requirements that apply to marine vessels with diesel engines as specified under MARPOL Annex VI. Fifth, we are correcting typographical errors in regulatory changes finalized in the Voluntary Quality Assurance Program rulemaking. This rulemaking action is not expected to result in any significant changes in regulatory burdens or costs.
2014-08-08; vol. 79 # 153 - Friday, August 8, 2014 79 FR 46356 - Emergency Vehicle Rule—SCR Maintenance and Regulatory Flexibility for Nonroad Equipment
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule. This rule is effective on September 8, 2014. 40 CFR Parts 86 and 1039 Summary This rule consists of three parts. First, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is adopting minimum maintenance intervals for replenishment of consumable chemical reductant (commonly known as diesel exhaust fluid, or DEF) in connection with the use of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technologies. Second, EPA is adopting provisions allowing manufacturers of nonroad engines to give operators the means to obtain short-term relief from emission controls while operating in emergency situations, such as those where operation of a nonroad engine or equipment is needed to protect human life, and where obtaining short-term relief from emission controls enables such operation. Third, EPA is adopting minor revisions to the direct final rule for emergency vehicles that became effective August 7, 2012, in response to comments received on the parallel Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
