Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition and 

Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines



AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).



ACTION: Proposed rule.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------



SUMMARY: EPA is proposing revisions to the standards of performance for 

new stationary compression ignition internal combustion engines under 

section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act. The proposed rule would implement 

more stringent standards for stationary compression ignition engines 

with displacement greater than or equal to 10 liters per cylinder and 

less than 30 liters per cylinder, consistent with recent revisions to 

standards for similar mobile source marine engines. The action also 

proposes to provide additional flexibility to owners and operators of 

affected engines, and would correct minor mistakes in the initial 

standards of performance. In addition, the action proposes revisions to 

the requirements for engines with displacement at or above 30 liters 

per cylinder to align more closely with recent standards for similar 

mobile source marine engines, and for engines in rural portions of 

Alaska that are not accessible by the Federal Aid Highway System. 

Finally, the proposal would make minor revisions to the standards of 

performance for new stationary spark ignition internal combustion 

engines to mirror certain revisions proposed for compression ignition 

engines, which would provide consistency where appropriate for the 

regulation of stationary internal combustion engines. The proposed 

standards would reduce nitrogen oxides by an estimated 1,100 tons per 

year, particulate matter by an estimated 38 tons per year, and 

hydrocarbons by an estimated 18 tons per year by the year 2030.

I. Background



A. Initial New Source Performance Standards



    This action proposes revisions to NSPS for new compression ignition 

(CI) stationary internal combustion engines (ICE). The NSPS were 

initially published on July 11, 2006 (71 FR 39153). New source 

performance standards implement section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA), and are issued for categories of sources which cause, or 

contribute significantly to, air pollution which may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. The standards apply 

to new stationary sources of emissions, i.e., sources whose 

construction, reconstruction, or modification begins after a standard 

for those sources is proposed.

    For the first time, the NSPS put Federal restrictions on emissions 

of particulate matter (PM), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), non-

methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) from new 

stationary CI engines. The NSPS also restricted the level of sulfur 

permitted in diesel fuel used in new stationary CI engines. The



[[Page 32614]]



levels in the NSPS were generally based on standards promulgated in 

previous rules for similar nonroad (i.e., mobile off-highway) engines. 

For larger engines with displacement greater than or equal to 10 liters 

per cylinder (l/cyl) and less than 30 l/cyl, the levels were based on 

standards for similar marine engines. EPA noted in the proposed rule 

(70 FR 39870) that it was reviewing the possibility of promulgating 

more stringent standards for such marine engines in the near future and 

would review whether to revise the standards for stationary engines 

with displacement greater than or equal to 10 l/cyl and less than 30 l/

cyl when the more stringent standards for marine engines with 

displacement greater than or equal to 10 l/cyl and less than 30 l/cyl 

were promulgated. For engines with displacement greater than or equal 

to 30 l/cyl, the standards were based on evidence collected for those 

specified engines.

    The standards for emergency engines were less stringent than those 

for non-emergency engines, given questions regarding the use of 

emission reduction aftertreatment technologies for such engines and the 

fact that such engines are rarely used, except in case of emergency. 

EPA also promulgated less stringent standards, and no fuel sulfur 

restrictions, for engines in U.S. Pacific territories where low sulfur 

fuel may be difficult to receive. However, these less stringent 

standards did not apply to engines at or above 30 l/cyl. Similarly, EPA 

delayed the low sulfur fuels requirement until December 1, 2010, for 

rural areas of Alaska not accessible by the Federal Aid Highway System 

(FAHS), and allowed the Governor of Alaska to submit an alternative 

plan for implementing the NSPS for public utilities located in these 

rural areas of Alaska.

    EPA estimated that the NSPS would reduce NOX emissions 

from stationary CI ICE by an estimated 38,000 tons per year (tpy), PM 

emissions by about 3,000 tpy, NMHC emissions by about 600 tpy, sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) emissions by an estimated 9,000 tpy, and CO 

emissions by approximately 18,000 tpy in the year 2015. EPA estimated 

that emissions of hazardous air pollutants would be reduced by 

approximately 93 tons in the year 2015. EPA estimated the NSPS would 

reduce NOX emissions from stationary CI ICE by an estimated 

270,000 tpy, PM emissions by about 17,000 tpy, NMHC emissions by about 

8,000 tpy, SO2 emissions by an estimated 24,000 tpy, and CO 

emissions by approximately 95,000 tpy in the year 2030.

    For the vast majority of engines, compliance requirements, 

particularly testing requirements, are primarily geared towards the 

manufacturers of the engines, not the owners and operators of engines. 

The engines had to be tested, certified and labeled prior to 

installation. Owners and operators are, however, required to operate 

and maintain their engines according to the written instructions of the 

engine manufacturers or according to procedures developed by the owner/

operators and approved by the manufacturer.



B. Events Following Promulgation of Initial NSPS



    Following promulgation of the initial NSPS, EPA received several 

comments from interested parties regarding aspects of the final rule. 

In particular, engine manufacturers stated their belief that the 

standards promulgated for engines with displacement greater than or 

equal to 30 l/cyl were not feasible, especially those located at areas 

without requirements for low sulfur diesel fuel. Engine manufacturers 

also noted some minor errors in the standards as published.

    The American Petroleum Institute (API) petitioned for review of the 

final NSPS, and stated to EPA that, among other concerns, API believed 

that the compliance requirements did not allow owner and operators 

enough flexibility to use operation and maintenance procedures, 

different from those recommended by manufacturers, that would provide 

good emission control practice for minimizing emissions. API also had 

other comments regarding the final rule, including concern regarding 

use of the term ``useful life'' in the stationary engine context, and 

concern that temporary portable engines would be treated as subject to 

NSPS requirements beyond the requirements for nonroad engines.

    On January 18, 2008, EPA published a final rule containing separate 

standards of performance for stationary spark ignition (SI) engines. 

(73 FR 3567) While these regulations are distinct from the standards of 

performance for CI engines, certain aspects of these regulations, 

particularly regarding compliance and definitions, are intended to be 

consistent with the regulations promulgated for CI engines.

    Additionally, on June 30, 2008, EPA published more stringent 

standards for new locomotives and for new CI marine vessels under 40 

CFR parts 1033 and 1042, respectively, including marine vessel engines 

with displacement greater than or equal to 10 l/cyl and less than 30 l/

cyl. (73 FR 37095) The rule promulgated two new tiers of standards for 

newly manufactured marine CI engines at or above 600 kilowatt (KW) (800 

horsepower (HP)), the second of which was based on the application of 

catalytic aftertreatment technology.

    Further, on April 30, 2010, EPA promulgated final fuel requirements 

and standards regulating emissions from marine engines with 

displacement above 30 l/cyl. (75 FR 22896) These requirements are 

equivalent to the limits adopted by the International Maritime 

Organization (IMO) in October 2008 as an amendment to Annex VI of the 

International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 

(also called MARPOL Annex VI).

    Finally, on October 31, 2008, the State of Alaska, pursuant to the 

provision in the final rule allowing it to request alternative 

provisions for rural Alaska, requested that EPA make certain changes in 

its requirements to account for circumstances in rural Alaska that are 

different from those in the rest of the United States. Alaska's 

specific recommendations are discussed below.



II. Summary of Proposed Amendments



A. Standards for New Engines With Displacement Greater Than or Equal to 

10 l/cyl and Less Than 30 l/cyl



    We are proposing to incorporate the recently-promulgated standards 

for new marine engines into our standards for new stationary engines 

with displacement greater than or equal to 10 l/cyl and less than 30 l/

cyl. The standards were found to be feasible for the marine engines 

covered by those requirements. As we discussed in the original NSPS 

final rule, stationary engines in this displacement range are similar 

in design to marine CI engines and are generally certified to marine 

standards. EPA is, therefore, basing the proposed revised standards for 

non-emergency stationary CI ICE with a displacement between 10 l/cyl 

and 30 l/cyl on the technologies identified in the recent rulemaking to 

be used to meet the emission standards for marine CI engines.

    The proposed standards would not take effect until 2013, at the 

earliest. The standards are summarized in the tables in this preamble. 

The first tier of standards divides these engines by displacement. The 

second divides the engines by maximum engine power.

\d\ The 1st Tier PM standards continue to apply for these engines in model years 2014 and 2015 only.



    The first tier of standards is based on engine-based technologies 

already in use or expected to be used for other mobile and stationary 

engines (e.g., improved fuel injection, engine mapping, and calibration 

optimization), as well as the use of ultra low sulfur (i.e., 15 parts 

per million (ppm) sulfur) diesel (ULSD). The second tier of standards 

is expected to be met with the use of catalytic exhaust aftertreatment 

that have already been used for other similar mobile and stationary 

engines, like catalyzed diesel particulate filters (CDPF) and selective 

catalytic reduction (SCR).



B. Compliance Requirements for Owners and Operators



    In the original final NSPS, EPA required all engines to be 

installed, configured, operated, and maintained according to the 

specifications and instructions provided by the engine manufacturer. 

EPA also allowed the option for owners and operators to follow 

procedures developed by the owner or operator that have been approved 

by the engine manufacturer for cases where site-specific conditions may 

require changes to the manufacturer's typical guidelines.

    Several parties objected to this requirement. According to the 

parties, this requirement restricts owners and operators from using the 

most appropriate methods for installing, operating and maintaining 

engines in the field. The parties claim that owners and operators are 

in the best position to determine the most appropriate method of 

installing, operating and maintaining engines in the field and have 

more experience in doing so than engine manufacturers, and that 

operation and maintenance provisions in manufacturer manuals are often 

too stringent and inflexible to be required in binding regulations.

    Based on the comments and information received during and after the 

rulemakings for both the CI and SI NSPS, EPA believes it is not 

appropriate to require owners and operators to follow manufacturer 

operation and maintenance procedures without allowing alternative 

options for owners and operators. Therefore, we are proposing to revise 

the regulations to allow owners and operators to develop their own 

operation and maintenance plans as an alternative to following 

manufacturer operation and maintenance procedures. However, if an 

owner/operator decides to take this approach, EPA will need greater 

assurance that the engine is meeting emission requirements. Thus, 

owner/operators using this approach will generally be subject to 

further testing of their engines and will be required to keep 

maintenance plans and records. EPA will consider such engines to be 

operating in a non-certified manner. Engines greater than 500 HP will 

be required to conduct a performance test within 1 year of startup (or 

within 1 year of changing the manufacturer's recommended configuration 

or settings for the engine) to demonstrate compliance with the emission 

standards, and will also have to conduct subsequent performance testing 

every 8,760 hours or 3 years (whichever comes first) thereafter. These 

engines will in addition be required to keep a maintenance plan and 

records of conducted maintenance.

    Engines greater than or equal to 100 HP and less than or equal to 

500 HP will be required to conduct a performance test within 1 year of 

startup (or within 1 year of changing the manufacturer's recommended 

configuration or settings for the engine) to demonstrate compliance 

with the emission standards and will in addition be required to keep a 

maintenance plan and records of conducted maintenance. Engines below 

100 HP operating in a non-certified manner will not have to conduct 

further performance testing, but are required to keep a maintenance 

plan and records.

    Owners and operators will also have the ability to adjust engine 

settings outside of manufacturer settings as long as they ensure the 

engines comply with the standards at those settings with a performance 

test.

    Parties also noted that the operation and maintenance requirements 

extended beyond emission-related operation and maintenance and



[[Page 32616]]



extended to operation and maintenance of all aspects of the engine, 

which the parties believed should be beyond the scope of the 

regulation. EPA agrees that the operation and maintenance requirements 

of the NSPS should be restricted to emission-related operation and 

maintenance, and is proposing to revise the regulations accordingly.

    Finally, one party has reported that owners and operators of 

engines in marine locations often need to use engines that meet the 

marine nonroad engine standards, but that the current NSPS requires the 

engine, if the engine is on a stationary platform rather than a ship, 

to meet the standards for land-based engines, rather than marine 

engines. EPA has not proposed to change the current regulation, but 

requests comment on the need for stationary engines in marine offshore 

settings to use engines meeting the marine engine standards, rather 

than land-based engine standards. Based on the comments received, EPA 

may decide to revise this requirement in the final rule.



C. Temporary Replacement Engines



    EPA received comments during and after the initial CI NSPS rule and 

during the SI NSPS rule indicating that there was some confusion 

regarding the status of temporary engines (i.e., generally engines in 

one location for less than 1 year) under EPA's regulations. Further, 

there was concern that for those temporary engines that were considered 

stationary under the definitions of stationary and nonroad engine, 

because they replaced other stationary engines during periods when the 

main engines were off-line (e.g., for maintenance work), owners and 

operators of major sources would have little or no ability to oversee 

the operations of these temporary engines, as they were generally owned 

and maintained by other entities.

    EPA notes that except for certain instances (e.g., engines at 

seasonal sources or engines that replace stationary engines at a site), 

engines in one location for less than 1 year are generally considered 

to be mobile nonroad engines under EPA's regulatory definitions of 

nonroad engine and stationary engine, and, therefore, the NSPS and 

other regulations applicable to stationary engines are not applicable 

to such engines. Examples of such nonroad engines are engines that are 

brought to a major source stationary source for less than 1 year for 

purposes of general maintenance or construction.

    Portable engines that replace existing stationary engines on a 

temporary basis are considered stationary engines. This provision 

allows the permitting authority to count the emissions of the temporary 

unit in the emissions from the stationary source, as it would for the 

permanent unit. This prevents sources from avoiding the counting of 

such units in its projected or actual emissions. EPA agrees with 

comments that with regard to temporary replacement engines, which are 

generally portable and moved from place to place, it is most 

appropriate that these engines, though considered stationary, should be 

allowed under the NSPS to meet requirements for mobile nonroad engines. 

These sources are not under the long-term control (or in many cases the 

short-term control) of the local source, and, therefore, it is 

appropriate to hold them to the requirements for similar sources that 

are mobile in character. EPA also notes that under the pre-existing 

general provisions for 40 CFR part 60, the fact that an engine moves 

from place to place does not, by the sole basis of that movement, make 

the engine a ``new'' engine for the purposes of the NSPS.



D. Standards for Engines With Displacement Greater Than or Equal to 30 

l/cyl



    In the final NSPS, EPA required owners and operators of stationary 

CI ICE with a displacement of greater than or equal to 30 l/cyl to 

reduce NOX emissions by 90 percent or more, or alternatively 

they had to limit the emissions of NOX in the stationary CI 

internal combustion engine exhaust to 1.6 grams per KW-hour (g/KW-hr) 

(1.2 grams per HP-hour (g/HP-hr)). They were also required to reduce PM 

emissions by 60 percent or more, or alternatively they had to limit the 

emissions of PM in the stationary CI internal combustion engine exhaust 

to 0.15 g/KW-hr (0.11 g/HP-hr). These standards were applicable in all 

areas, including areas in the Pacific (e.g., Guam) and rural Alaska 

that were exempted, at least temporarily, from using low sulfur fuel. 

The standards were also applicable to all engines in this displacement 

category, whether they were used for emergency or non-emergency 

purposes.

    Following completion of the original rule, EPA received comments 

from engine manufacturers stating that the standards would be 

infeasible in areas where low sulfur fuel was not used. The engine 

manufacturers recommended less stringent standards for areas where low 

sulfur fuel is not required. EPA also received later comments 

indicating that the standards were also infeasible for engines in areas 

with access to lower sulfur fuel, and that the standards should instead 

be harmonized with the IMO standards for similar engines in marine 

vessels. These comments also requested that EPA take the same approach 

to emergency engines with displacement greater than or equal to 30 l/

cyl as EPA takes for smaller emergency engines. For other emergency 

engines, EPA promulgated emission standards that do not require the use 

of aftertreatment, given the limited use of the engines, the 

ineffectiveness of the aftertreatment during startup, and the need for 

safe, reliable and immediate operation of the engine during 

emergencies. The comments state that engines of this size have been 

used as emergency generators at nuclear power plants in order to assure 

the safe shut-down of the reactor in case of emergency due to their 

excellent performance and reliability.

    Regarding the NOX standard for these engines, EPA agrees 

that it is appropriate to adjust the stringency of the NOX 

standard to match the worldwide NOX standard approved in the 

IMO's Annex VI and promulgated by EPA for marine engines with 

displacement above 30 l/cyl. While the technology required by the 

existing NSPS has been used on other stationary engines, EPA realizes 

the need to provide lead time for the technology to transfer to the 

largest of engines. The final IMO NOX standard is comparable 

to the existing NSPS NOX standard, but provides more 

leadtime for final implementation. Revising the standard to match the 

standard for marine engines allows manufacturers to design a single 

type of engine for both uses. This standard has been substantially 

reviewed by EPA and other governments and has been found to be feasible 

in the time provided. For engines installed prior to January 1, 2012, 

the standard is proposed to be 17.0 g/KW-hr (12.7 g/HP-hr) when maximum 

engine speed is less than 130 revolutions per minute (rpm); 45 [middot] 

n-0.2 g/KW-hr (34 [middot] n-0.2 g/KW-hr) when n 

(maximum engine speed) is 130 or more but less than 2,000 rpm; 9.8 g/

KW-hr (7.3 g/HP-hr) when maximum engine speed is 2,000 rpm or more. For 

engines installed after January 1, 2012, we are proposing a more 

stringent standard of 14.4 g/KW-hr (10.7 g/HP-hr) when maximum engine 

speed is less than 130 rpm; 44 [middot] n-0.23 g/KW-hr (33 

[middot] n-0.23 g/KW-hr) where n (maximum engine speed) is 

130 or more but less than 2,000 rpm; and 7.7 g/KW-hr (5.7 g/HP-hr) 

where maximum engine speed is greater than or equal to 2,000 rpm. For 

engines installed after January 1, 2016, we are proposing a more 

stringent



[[Page 32617]]



standard that presumes the use of aftertreatment. The levels are 

proposed to be 3.4 g/KW-hr (2.5 g/HP-hr) when maximum engine speed is 

less than 130 rpm; 9.0 [middot] n-0.20 g/KW-hr (6.7 [middot] 

n-0.20 g/KW-hr) where n (maximum engine speed) is 130 or 

more but less than 2,000 rpm; and 2.0 g/KW-hr (1.5 g/HP-hr) where 

maximum engine speed is greater than or equal to 2,000 rpm.

    For engines installed in Pacific island areas that are not required 

to use lower sulfur fuel, while EPA believes that SCR can be installed 

on such engines even where high sulfur fuel is being used, EPA agrees 

that the use of high sulfur fuel, and the presence of other impurities 

in this type of fuel (i.e., heavy fuel oil), as well as different 

density and viscosity, make it difficult to achieve similar results 

from SCR as would occur with lower sulfur fuel. Maintenance of high 

NOX reduction levels is also more difficult when using high 

sulfur fuel. The use of higher sulfur heavy fuel oil also increases 

engine-out NOX emissions because of the increased levels of 

contaminants in the fuel. EPA also notes that the areas in question do 

not have any significant ozone problem. We, therefore, are proposing 

not to require the more stringent standards that would otherwise apply 

beginning in 2016 in these areas.

    Similarly, we are proposing not to require the more stringent, 

aftertreatment-forcing NOX standards for emergency engines 

with displacement at or above 30 l/cyl. As the commenters noted, EPA 

did not require aftertreatment-forcing requirements for other emergency 

engines due to the limited use of the engines, the ineffectiveness of 

the aftertreatment during startup, and the need for safe, reliable and 

immediate operation of the engine during emergencies. EPA agrees that 

similar concerns are present for emergency engines in this power 

category.

    EPA is also modifying its fuel requirements for engines with 

displacement at or above 30 l/cyl. The final rule promulgated by EPA 

for marine engines with displacement above 30 l/cyl required those 

engines to use fuel meeting a 1,000 ppm sulfur level beginning in 2014, 

and also made other revisions to the mobile source fuel requirements 

that will likely have the effect of making 1,000 ppm sulfur fuel the 

outlet for diesel fuel that does not meet the 15 ppm sulfur standard 

generally required for mobile source fuel. Therefore, EPA is revising 

the fuel sulfur standards for stationary CI engines with displacement 

at or above 30 l/cyl to a 1,000 ppm sulfur level beginning in 2014.

    EPA agrees that the numerical standards for PM promulgated in the 

final rule would be very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve using 

high sulfur fuel. EPA therefore agrees that it is appropriate to revise 

the concentration limit for PM for stationary CI ICE with a 

displacement of greater than or equal to 30 l/cyl in areas where low 

sulfur fuel is not required. EPA is proposing a standard of 0.40 g/KW-

hr (0.30 g/HP-hr). Given the substantial health concerns associated 

with diesel PM emissions, EPA believes it is appropriate to require 

this level for all engines where low sulfur fuel is not required. 

Similarly, we are proposing to revise the PM standard for emergency 

engines to 0.40 g/kW-hr (0.30 g/HP-hr), for the reasons provided above 

regarding NOX standards for such engines.

    EPA is not proposing to change the PM standard for non-emergency 

engines in areas where the lower sulfur fuel is available. As EPA 

explained in the original NSPS, EPA believes this standard is 

achievable for engines using existing technology and low sulfur fuel. 

The substantial health risks associated with diesel PM require that 

these stringent standards remain in place.



E. Requirements for Engines Located in Rural Alaska



    In the initial final NSPS, EPA agreed to delay the sulfur 

requirements for diesel fuel intended for stationary ICE in rural areas 

of Alaska not accessible by the FAHS (``rural Alaska'') until December 

1, 2010, except that any 2011 model year and later stationary CI 

engines operating in rural Alaska prior to December 1, 2010, would be 

required to meet the 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur requirement for 

diesel fuel. This approach was consistent with the approach that was 

used for nonroad and highway engines in rural Alaska. EPA also included 

a special section in the final rule that specified that until December 

1, 2010, owners and operators of stationary CI engines located in 

Alaska should refer to 40 CFR part 69 to determine the diesel fuel 

requirements applicable to such engines.

    In addition, the final regulations included language that allows 

Alaska to submit for EPA approval through rulemaking process an 

alternative plan for implementing the requirements of this regulation 

for public-sector electrical utilities located in rural areas of Alaska 

not accessible by the FAHS. The alternative plan must be based on the 

requirements of section 111 of the CAA including any increased risks to 

human health and the environment and must also be based on the unique 

circumstances related to remote power generation, climatic conditions, 

and serious economic impacts resulting from implementation of the final 

NSPS.

    EPA also included an option in the final rule for owners and 

operators of pre-2011 model year engines located in remote areas of 

Alaska to petition the Administrator to use any fuels mixed with used 

oil that do not meet the fuel requirements in Sec.  60.4207 of the 

final rule beyond the required fuel deadlines. The owner or operator 

must show that there is no other place to burn the used oil. Each 

petition, if approved, is valid for a period of up to 6 months.

    EPA communicated with officials from the State of Alaska on several 

occasions following the promulgation of the final rule, and gave the 

State of Alaska an extension from the original deadline of January 11, 

2008, to provide its alternative plan for rural Alaska to EPA. On 

October 31, 2008, EPA received Alaska's request for several revisions 

to the NSPS as it pertains to engines located in the rural part of 

Alaska not served by the FAHS.

    In particular, the State of Alaska requested the following:

     Allow NSPS owner-operator requirements to apply only to 

model year 2011 and later engines.

     Maintain a December 1, 2010 deadline for transition of 

regulated engines to ULSD.

     Authorize continued use of single circuit jacketwater 

marine diesel engines for prime power applications.

     Remove limitations on using fuels mixed with used 

lubricating oil that do not meet the fuel requirements of 40 CFR part 

60, subpart IIII.

     Review emission control design requirements needed to meet 

new NSPS emission standards, including the possibility of removing or 

delaying emissions standards requiring advanced exhaust gas emissions 

aftertreatment technologies until the technology is proven for remote 

and arctic applications.

    EPA agrees that the circumstances in rural Alaska require special 

rules. EPA is, therefore, proposing several amendments for engines used 

in rural Alaska:

    1. Exempting all pre-2011 model year engines from diesel fuel 

sulfur requirements;

    2. Allowing owners and operators of stationary CI engines located 

in rural areas of Alaska to use engines certified to marine engine 

standards, rather than land-based nonroad engine standards;

    3. Removing requirements to use aftertreatment devices for 

NOX, in particular, SCR, for engines used in rural Alaska.



[[Page 32618]]



    In proposing these revisions, EPA notes the following information 

provided by the State of Alaska. In general, the State notes that over 

180 rural communities in Alaska that are not accessible by the FAHS 

rely on diesel engines and fuel for electricity. These communities are 

scattered over long distances in remote areas and are not connected to 

population centers by road or power grid. These communities are located 

in the most severe arctic environments in the United States.

    Regarding the request that owners and operator requirements apply 

only to model year 2011 and later engines, the State of Alaska focused 

on two particular requirements for pre-2011 engines: the requirement 

that pre-2011 engines that are manufactured after April 1, 2006 use 

ULSD beginning on December 1, 2010; and the requirement that after 

December 31, 2008, owners and operators may not install engines that do 

not meet the applicable requirements for 2007 model year engines.

    The State of Alaska noted that Alaska village power plants are 

typically operated by a single part-time operator with an alternate, 

that there is a high rate of turnover among plant operators, and that 

operators have limited training, expertise or resources. The State of 

Alaska notes that pre-2011 engines will all be fueled, prior to 

December 1, 2011, with the same fuel. The State of Alaska believes that 

it would greatly simplify operations to coordinate the fuel 

requirements with the introduction of 2011 model year engines, rather 

than retroactively requiring some, but not all, earlier engines to meet 

the fuel requirements. It would also facilitate the smoother transition 

to ULSD fuel, rather than requiring numerous engines to all meet the 

requirements at the same time. The State of Alaska noted that there is 

no technological requirement for pre-model year 2011 engines to use 

aftertreatment, and thus no technological need to use ULSD. EPA agrees 

that the requested revision will reduce the complexity of the 

regulations and that ULSD is not technologically necessary prior to 

model year 2011. EPA also notes that the requirement to use ULSD for 

2011 and later model year engines will eventually lead to a complete 

turnover of the fuel used in the remote villages. Therefore, EPA is 

proposing this revision.

    The State of Alaska notes that the planning, construction and 

operation of engines in rural Alaska is complex. The timeframe for 

these projects, which are coordinated among several governmental 

entities, typically exceeds 3 years. The State of Alaska notes that 

several projects that were designed and funded based on pre-2007 model 

year engines will not be installed prior to December 31, 2008. 

Therefore, the State of Alaska requests that the deadline be moved to 

December 2010. While EPA understands that some extra time may be needed 

to allow for these pre-existing projects to go forward with pre-2007 

engines, EPA does not believe the State of Alaska has justified a 2-

year extension, beyond the 2 years already provided in the regulations. 

However, EPA believes that a 1-year extension would be appropriate. EPA 

is, therefore, proposing a 1-year extension for owners and operators in 

rural Alaska to install pre-2007 model year engines.

    Regarding its request for continued use of single circuit 

jacketwater marine diesel engines for prime power applications, the 

State of Alaska notes that rural villages in Alaska use combined heat 

and power cogeneration plants, which are vital to their economy, given 

the high cost of fuel and the substantial need for heat in that 

climate. Heat recovery systems are used with diesel engines in rural 

communities to provide heat to community facilities and schools. 

Marine-jacketed diesel engines are used wherever possible because of 

their superior heat recovery and thermal efficiency. The State of 

Alaska has noticed great reductions in heat recovery when using Tier 3 

non-marine engines. The State notes that reductions in fuel efficiency 

will lead to greater fuel use and greater emissions from burning extra 

heating oil. EPA agrees with the State that there are significant 

benefits from using marine engines, and is proposing a revision that 

will allow engines in rural Alaska to use marine-certified engines. 

However, as the State of Alaska notes, marine-certified engines, 

particularly those below 800 HP, are not required to meet more 

stringent requirements for reduction of PM emissions, which is the most 

significant pollutant of concern in these areas. Therefore, EPA is 

proposing to require that owners and operators of engines manufactured 

in model years that would otherwise be certified to Tier 4 PM standards 

(e.g., model years 2011 and later for engines greater than or equal to 

130 KW (175 HP) and less than or equal to 560 KW (750 HP)) must either 

be certified to Tier 4 standards (whether land-based nonroad or marine) 

or must install PM reduction technologies on their engines to achieve 

at least 85 percent reduction in PM.

    Regarding the issue of using aftertreatment technologies that the 

State of Alaska says has not been tested in remote arctic climates, EPA 

notes that the State of Alaska is particularly concerned with 

NOX standards that would likely entail the use of SCR in 

rural Alaska. NOX reductions are particularly important in 

areas where ozone is a concern, because NOX is a precursor 

to ozone. However, the State of Alaska, and rural Alaska in particular, 

does not have any significant ozone problems. Moreover, the use of SCR 

entails the supply, storage and use of a chemical reductant, usually 

urea, that needs to be used properly in order to achieve the expected 

emissions reductions, and that may have additional operational problems 

in remote arctic climates. As noted above, these villages are not 

accessible by the Federal Aid Highway System and are scattered over 

long distances in remote areas and are not connected to population 

centers by road or power grid. They are located in the most severe 

arctic environments in the United States and they rely on stationary 

diesel engines and fuel for electricity and heating, and these engines 

need to be in working condition, particularly in the winter. While the 

availability of reductant is not a problem in the areas on the highway 

system, its availability in remote villages, particularly in the early 

years of the Tier 4 program, may be an issue, which is notable given 

the importance of the stationary engines in these villages. 

Furthermore, the costs for the acquisition, storage and handling of the 

chemical reductant would be greater than for engines located elsewhere 

in the United States due to the remote location and severe arctic 

climate of the villages. In order to maintain proper availability of 

the chemical reductant during the harsh winter months, new heated 

storage vessels may be needed at each engine facility, further 

increasing the compliance costs for these remote villages. Given the 

issues that would need to be addressed if SCR were required, and the 

associated costs of this technology when analyzed under NSPS 

guidelines, EPA understands the State of Alaska's argument that it is 

inappropriate to require such standards for stationary engines in rural 

Alaska.\1\ Therefore, EPA is proposing not to require owners and 

operators of new stationary engines to meet the Tier 4 standards for 

NOX in these areas and is soliciting comment on this 

decision. However, owners and operators of 2011 and later model year 

engines that do not



[[Page 32619]]



meet the Tier 4 PM standards would be required to use PM 

aftertreatment, as discussed above. The use of PM aftertreatment will 

also achieve reductions in CO and hydrocarbons.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



    \1\ Note that this action applies to stationary engines only; it 

is unlikely that such an approach would be appropriate for mobile 

engines, given that they are less permanent in a village and can 

move in and out of areas as work requires, and because EPA has less 

ability to enforce such an approach for mobile sources, where EPA 

does not regulate the owner or operator directly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



    Finally, regarding allowing owners and operators to blend up to 

1.75 percent used oil into the fuel system, the State notes that there 

are no permitted used oil disposal facilities in rural Alaskan 

communities. The State believes that it has developed a cost-effective 

and reliable used-oil blending system that is currently being used in 

many rural Alaskan communities, disposing of the oil in an 

environmentally beneficial manner and capturing the energy content of 

the used oil. The absence of allowable blending would, according to the 

State, necessitate the shipping out of the used oil and would risk 

improper disposal and storage, as well as spills.

    According to the State, blending waste oil at 1.75 percent or less 

will keep the fuel within American Society for Testing and Materials 

(ASTM) specifications if the sulfur content of the waste oil is below 

200 ppm. The State acknowledges the need for engines equipped with 

aftertreatment devices to use fuel meeting the sulfur requirements.

    EPA agrees that the limited blending of used oil into the diesel 

fuel used by stationary engines can be an environmentally beneficial 

manner of disposing of such oil and may be of little to no concern when 

kept within appropriate limits. In fact, in EPA's highway diesel 

regulations (40 CFR 80.522), we allow for the blending of used motor 

oil into fuel burned in highway engines if the engine was certified to 

the emission standards with the addition of the used oil, and if the 

oil is added in a manner consistent with the engine certificate. 

Nevertheless, EPA believes that there are certain issues that need to 

be further reviewed if EPA is to include in the final rule a provision 

allowing used oil to be mixed with diesel fuel in remote areas of 

Alaska. First, while any provision allowing used oil to be mixed with 

diesel fuel would need to be carefully circumscribed (e.g., the used 

oil could be no more than 1.75 percent of mixture and could not have a 

sulfur level above 200 ppm), EPA would like to have further information 

on whether, even at such circumscribed levels, mixing used oil into the 

fuel will have an effect on the operation or maintenance requirements 

for such engines, particularly engines using PM aftertreatment, and if 

so, how such changes will be managed by the operators.

    Second, on April 29, 2010, EPA proposed a set of regulatory actions 

under the CAA that address emissions from boilers, process heaters, and 

certain solid waste incinerators. On the same day, in a related action 

under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA proposed 

to define which non-hazardous secondary materials are ``solid waste'' 

for purposes of subtitle D (non-hazardous waste) of RCRA when burned in 

a combustion unit, since section 129(g)(5) of the CAA provides that 

``solid waste'' shall have the meaning established by the Administrator 

under RCRA. Under the proposed solid waste rule, used oil that does not 

meet the on-specification (``on-spec'') levels and properties of 40 CFR 

279.11 (``off-spec used oil'') would be considered a solid waste, 

unless it is processed to meet the on-spec used oil limits specified in 

40 CFR 279.11, and a combustion unit that burns off-spec used oil would 

be a solid waste incineration unit and would be subject to emission 

standards under section 129 of the CAA.

    Due to these issues, EPA believes that it would not be appropriate 

at this time to propose to allow the blending of used oil for 

stationary diesel engines under the NSPS. EPA solicits comment on 

whether to allow the blending of used oil into diesel fuel under the 

NSPS in rural areas of Alaska.



F. Reconstruction



    EPA is proposing to add a definition for ``reconstruct'' that is 

specific for the NSPS for stationary CI ICE and stationary SI ICE. EPA 

is also proposing to add provisions to the NSPS that require 

reconstructed engines to meet the emission standards for the model year 

in which the reconstruction occurs if the reconstructed engine meets 

any of the following criteria:

     The crankshaft is removed as part of the reconstruction; 

or

     The fixed capital cost of the new and refurbished 

components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost of a comparable 

new engine; or

     The serial number of the engine is removed as part of the 

reconstruction; or

     The reconstructed engine consists of a previously used 

engine block with all new components.



The proposed rule also clarifies that the provisions for modified and 

reconstructed engines apply to anyone who modifies or reconstructs an 

engine, including engine owners/operators, engine manufacturers, and 

anyone else. The proposed rule also adds additional clarification 

regarding what standards are applicable for modified or reconstructed 

engines.



G. Minor Corrections and Revisions



    EPA is proposing several minor revisions in this rule to correct 

mistakes in the initial rule or to clarify the rule. The revisions 

being proposed are listed below:

     Replacing the term ``useful life'' with ``certified 

emissions life,'' for purposes of clarity;

     Revising Table 3 in the in 40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII to 

account for a mistake in how Table 3 characterized the certification 

requirements for high speed fire pump engines in the initial final 

rule;

     Revising the definition of ``emergency stationary internal 

combustion engine,'' and the allowance for maintenance checks and 

readiness testing for such engines, to be consistent with the 

provisions promulgated in the recently completed requirements for 

existing stationary engines in 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ;

     Revising the requirement for emergency engines to install 

non-resettable hour meters such that emergency engines that meet the 

requirements for non-emergency engines do not have to install the hour 

meters;

     Revising the applicability provisions to make clearer 

EPA's requirement that all owners and operators of new sources must 

meet the deadlines for installation of compliant stationary engines;

     Revising certain provisions of the NSPS for stationary SI 

engines, particularly concerning definitions and compliance by owners 

and operators of such engines, to ensure consistency where appropriate 

for the regulation of stationary ICE; and

     Adding a definition of ``installed'' to provide clarity to 

the provisions regarding installing engines produced in previous model 

years.



III. Summary of Environmental, Energy and Economic Impacts



A. What are the air quality impacts?



    The proposed rule would reduce NOX emissions from 

stationary CI ICE between 10 and 30 l/cyl by an estimated 300 tpy, PM 

emissions by about 8 tpy, and NMHC emissions by about 4 tpy, in the 

year 2018. EPA estimated emissions reductions for the year 2018 because 

the year 2018 is the first year the emission standards would be fully 

implemented for stationary CI engines between 10 and 30 l/cyl. In the 

year 2030, the proposed rule would reduce NOX emissions from 

stationary CI ICE between 10 and 30 l/cyl by an estimated 1,100 tpy, PM 

emissions by about 38 tpy, and NMHC emissions by about 18 tpy. 

Emissions



[[Page 32620]]



reductions were estimated for the year 2030 to provide an estimate of 

what the reductions would be once there has been substantial turnover 

in the engine fleet. EPA expects very few stationary CI ICE with a 

displacement of 30 l/cyl or more to be installed per year, and no 

emissions or emissions reductions have been estimated for these 

engines.



B. What are the cost impacts?



    The total costs of the proposed rule are mostly based on the cost 

associated with purchasing and installing controls on non-emergency 

stationary CI ICE. The costs of aftertreatment were based on 

information developed for CI marine engines. Further information on how 

EPA estimated the total costs of the proposed rule can be found in a 

memorandum included in the docket (Docket ID. No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-

0295).

    The total national capital cost for the proposed rule is estimated 

to be approximately $236,000 in the year 2018, with a total national 

annual cost of $142,000 in the year 2018. The year 2018 is the first 

year the emission standards would be fully implemented for stationary 

CI engines between 10 and 30 l/cyl. The total national capital cost for 

the proposed rule in the year 2030 is $235,000, with a total national 

annual cost of $711,000.



C. What are the economic impacts?



    EPA expects that there will be less than a 0.03 percent increase in 

price and a similar decrease in product demand associated with this 

proposal for producers and consumers in 2018. For more information, 

please refer to the economic impact analysis for this rulemaking in the 

docket.



D. What are the non-air health, environmental and energy impacts?



    EPA does not anticipate any significant non-air health, 

environmental or energy impacts as a result of this proposed rule.



IV. Solicitation of Comments and Public Participation



    EPA seeks full public participation in arriving at its final 

decisions, and strongly encourages comments on all aspects of this 

proposed rule from all interested parties. Whenever applicable, full 

supporting data and detailed analysis should be submitted to allow EPA 

to make maximum use of the comments. The Agency invites all parties to 

coordinate their data collection activities with EPA to facilitate 

mutually beneficial and cost effective data submissions. A redline/

strikeout version of the complete standards of performance for 

stationary compression ignition engines and for stationary spark 

ignition engines which shows the changes that are being proposed in 

this action is available from the rulemaking docket.

    EPA is seeking specific comment on the appropriate test method for 

measuring PM emissions from stationary engines with a displacement 

greater than or equal to 30 l/cyl. Currently, the NSPS for stationary 

CI engines requires these engines to be tested using EPA Method 5, 

which requires the cooling of the engine flue gas to 120 degrees C (248 

degrees F). In a letter from the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) 

to EPA dated December 4, 2008 (see docket number EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0295), 

EMA stated that cooling the flue gas for large stationary engines to 

the filter holder temperature required by EPA Method 5 will result in 

measurement results that are non-reproducible. The letter stated that 

the condensation of semi-volatile organic components from the exhaust 

gas on the cold surfaces needed to cool the gas will lead to results 

that are not repeatable. The letter from EMA recommended that engine 

owners and operators be allowed to use EPA Method 17 or EPA Method 5B 

in lieu of EPA Method 5. EPA does not believe that the use of EPA 

Method 5 will lead to non-reproducible results because the particulate 

deposited on the internal walls of the sampling probe are recovered for 

weighing; the recovery and inclusion of the particulate deposited in 

the probe addresses the issue of variations in the deposition location 

of the condensed semi-volatile compounds. EPA seeks comment on whether 

EPA Method 5 is the appropriate test method for stationary CI engines 

with a displacement greater than or equal to 30 l/cyl, and any data to 

support the claim that the use of Method 5 to test these engines 

results in large uncertainties and non-reproducible emissions data.



V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews



A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review



    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the 

terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 

is therefore not subject to review under the EO.



B. Paperwork Reduction Act



    This action does not impose any new information collection burden. 

This action does not impose an information collection burden because 

the Agency is not requiring any additional recordkeeping, reporting, 

notification or other requirements in this proposed rule. The changes 

being proposed in this action do not affect information collection, but 

include revisions to emission standards and other minor issues. 

However, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has previously 

approved the information collection requirements contained in the 

existing regulations (40 CFR part 60 subpart A) under the provisions of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned 

OMB control number 2060-0590. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 

regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.



C. Regulatory Flexibility Act



    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 

to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 

notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative 

Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the 

rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, 

small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.

    For purposes of assessing the impacts of this proposed rule on 

small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as 

defined by the Small Business Administration's (SBA) regulations at 13 

CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government 

of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a 

population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is 

any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated 

and is not dominant in its field. The companies owning facilities with 

affected stationary ICE can be grouped into small and large categories 

using Small Business Administration (SBA) general size standard 

definitions. Size standards are based on industry classification codes 

(i.e., North American Industrial Classification System, or NAICS) that 

each company uses to identify the industry or industries in which they 

operate in. The SBA defines a small business in terms of the maximum 

employment, annual sales, or annual energy-generating capacity (for 

electricity generating units--EGUs) of the owning entity. These 

thresholds vary by industry and are evaluated based on the primary 

industry classification of the affected companies. In cases where 

companies are classified by multiple NAICS codes, the most conservative 

SBA definition



[[Page 32621]]



(i.e., the NAICS code with the highest employee or revenue size 

standard) was used.

    In addition, for the electric power generation industry, the small 

business size standard is an ultimate parent entity defined as having a 

total electric output of 4 million megawatt-hours (MW-hr) in the 

previous fiscal year. The specific SBA size standard is identified for 

each affected industry within the economic impact analysis for the 

proposal. In this case, we presume the affected engines will all be 

located in the electric power generation industry.

    After considering the economic impacts of this proposed rule on 

small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (SISNOSE). We 

estimate that only one small entity is expected to incur costs 

associated with this proposed rule, and the annualized costs are less 

than 0.02 percent of their sales. Hence, we conclude that there is no 

SISNOSE for this rule.

    For more information on the small entity impacts associated with 

the proposed rule, please refer to the Economic Impact Analysis in the 

public docket. Although the proposed rule would not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, EPA 

nonetheless tried to reduce the impact of the proposed rule on small 

entities. When developing the revised standards, EPA took special steps 

to ensure that the burdens imposed on small entities were minimal. EPA 

conducted several meetings with industry trade associations to discuss 

regulatory options and the corresponding burden on industry, such as 

recordkeeping and reporting. The proposed rule requires the minimum 

level of testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting to affected 

stationary ICE sources necessary to ensure compliance. We continue to 

be interested in the potential impacts of the proposed rule on small 

entities and welcome comments on issues related to such impacts.



D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995



    This rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may result in 

expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local, and Tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector in any 1 year. 

Only minimal changes are being proposed by the Agency in this action 

and where compliance costs are incurred, only a nominal number of 

stationary CI engines will experience a compliance cost expense. Thus, 

this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 or 205 of 

UMRA.

    This rule is also not subject to the requirements of section 203 of 

UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might 

significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The changes being 

proposed in this action by the Agency are minimal and mostly affect 

stationary CI engine manufactures and will not affect small 

governments.



E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism



    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between 

the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power 

and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as 

specified in Executive Order 13132. This proposed action primarily 

affects private industry, and does not impose significant economic 

costs on State or local governments. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does 

not apply to this action. In the spirit of Executive Order 13132, and 

consistent with EPA policy to promote communications between EPA and 

State and local governments, EPA specifically solicits comment on this 

proposed action from State and local officials.



F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 

Tribal Governments



    This proposed rule does not have Tribal implications, as specified 

in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). It will not 

have substantial direct effects on Tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the Federal government and Indian Tribes, or on 

the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 

government and Indian Tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175. 

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this proposed rule. EPA 

specifically solicits additional comment on this proposed action from 

Tribal officials.



G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 

Health Risks and Safety Risks



    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 

as applying only to those regulatory actions that are based on health 

or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of 

the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This 

proposed rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is 

based solely on technology performance.



H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use



    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 

(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action 

under Executive Order 12866.



I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act



    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law No. 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 

note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its 

regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards 

are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, 

sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to 

provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not 

to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.

    This proposed rulemaking does not involve technical standards. 

Therefore, EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary consensus 

standards.



J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations



    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, Feb. 16, 1994) establishes 

Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision 

directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and 

permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission 

by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, 

policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income 

populations in the United States.

    EPA has determined that this proposed rule will not have 

disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental 

effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not 

affect the level of protection provided to human health or the 

environment. The changes the Agency is proposing in this action will 

reduce emissions from certain stationary CI engines, which were 

previously not controlled as stringently as now. Other changes the 

Agency is proposing to make have minimal effect on emissions.

    7. Section 60.4205 is amended by revising paragraphs (a) and (d) 

and adding paragraphs (e) and (f) to read as follows:





Sec.  60.4205  What emission standards must I meet for emergency 

engines if I am an owner or operator of a stationary CI internal 

combustion engine?



    (a) Owners and operators of pre-2007 model year emergency 

stationary CI ICE with a displacement of less than 10 liters per 

cylinder that are not fire pump engines must comply with the emission 

standards in Table 1 to this subpart. Owners and operators of pre-2007 

model year emergency stationary CI ICE with a displacement of greater 

than or equal to 10 liters per cylinder and less than 30 liters per 

cylinder that are not fire pump engines must comply with the emission 

standards in 40 CFR 94.8(a)(1).

* * * * *

    (d) Owners and operators of emergency stationary CI engines with a 

displacement of greater than or equal to 30 liters per cylinder must

    (1) For engines installed prior to January 1, 2012, limit the 

emissions of NOX in the stationary CI internal combustion 

engine exhaust to the following:

    (i) 17.0 g/KW-hr (12.7 g/HP-hr) when maximum engine speed is less 

than 130 rpm;

equal to 130 but less than 2,000 rpm and where n is maximum engine 

speed; and

    (iii) 7.7 g/KW-hr (5.7 g/HP-hr) when maximum engine speed is

    (3) Meet the requirements of 40 CFR parts 89, 94 and/or 1068, as 

they apply to you.

* * * * *



[[Page 32625]]



    (c) * * * The engine must be installed and configured according to 

the manufacturer's emission-related specifications, except as permitted 

in paragraph (f) of this section.

* * * * *

    (e) If you are an owner or operator of a modified or reconstructed 

stationary CI internal combustion engine and must comply with the 

emission standards specified in Sec.  60.4204(e) or Sec.  60.4205(f), 

you must demonstrate compliance according to one of the methods 

specified in paragraphs (e)(1) or (2) of this section.

    (1) Purchasing, or otherwise owning or operating, an engine 

certified to the emission standards in Sec.  60.4204(e) or Sec.  

60.4205(f), as applicable.

    (2) Conducting a performance test to demonstrate initial compliance 

with the emission standards according to the requirements specified in 

Sec.  60.4212. The test must be conducted within 60 days after the 

engine commences operation after the modification or reconstruction.

    (f) If you own or operate an emergency stationary ICE, you must 

operate the engine according to the conditions described in paragraphs 

(f)(1) through (4) of this section.

    (1) For owners and operators of emergency ICE, any operation other 

than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, and operation in 

non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as permitted in this 

section, is prohibited.

    (2) There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary ICE 

in emergency situations.

    (3) You may operate your emergency stationary ICE for the purpose 

of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests 

are recommended by Federal, State or local government, the 

manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company associated with the 

engine. Maintenance checks and readiness testing of such units is 

limited to 100 hours per year. The owner or operator may petition the 

Administrator for approval of additional hours to be used for 

maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not 

required if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that 

Federal, State, or local standards require maintenance and testing of 

emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per year.

    (4) You may operate your emergency stationary ICE up to 50 hours 

per year in non-emergency situations, but those 50 hours are counted 

towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance and testing. 

The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for 

peak shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an 

electric grid or otherwise supply power as part of a financial 

arrangement with another entity; except that owners and operators may 

operate the emergency engine for a maximum of 15 hours per year as part 

of a demand response program if the regional transmission organization 

or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has 

determined there are emergency conditions that could lead to a 

potential electrical blackout, such as unusually low frequency, 

equipment overload, capacity or energy deficiency, or unacceptable 

voltage level. The engine may not be operated for more than 30 minutes 

prior to the time when the emergency condition is expected to occur, 

and the engine operation must be terminated immediately after the 

facility is notified that the emergency condition is no longer 

imminent. The 15 hours per year of demand response operation are 

counted as part of the 50 hours of operation per year provided for non-

emergency situations. The supply of emergency power to another entity 

or entities pursuant to financial arrangement is not limited by this 

paragraph (f)(4), as long as the power provided by the financial 

arrangement is limited to emergency power.

    (g) Unless you operate, maintain, install and configure your engine 

and control device according to the manufacturer's emission-related 

written instructions and change only those emission-related settings 

that are permitted by the manufacturer, you must demonstrate compliance 

as follows:

    (1) If you are an owner or operator of a stationary CI internal 

combustion engine with maximum engine power less than 100 HP, you must 

keep a maintenance plan and records of conducted maintenance to 

demonstrate compliance and must, to the extent practicable, maintain 

and operate the engine in a manner consistent with good air pollution 

control practice for minimizing emissions, but performance testing is 

required only if you do not install and configure your engine and 

control device according to the manufacturer's emission-related written 

instructions or if you change emission-related settings in a way that 

is not permitted by the manufacturer, in either of which case you must 

conduct an initial performance test within 1 year of such action.

    (2) If you are an owner or operator of a stationary CI internal 

combustion engine greater than or equal to 100 HP and less than or 

equal to 500 HP, you must keep a maintenance plan and records of 

conducted maintenance and must, to the extent practicable, maintain and 

operate the engine in a manner consistent with good air pollution 

control practice for minimizing emissions. In addition, you must 

conduct an initial performance test within 1 year of engine startup, or 

within 1 year following the change in emission-related settings or 

configuration indicated in this paragraph (g)(1)(ii), to demonstrate 

compliance.

    (3) If you are an owner or operator of a stationary CI internal 

combustion engine greater than 500 HP, you must keep a maintenance plan 

and records of conducted maintenance and must, to the extent 

practicable, maintain and operate the engine in a manner consistent 

with good air pollution control practice for minimizing emissions. In 

addition, you must conduct an initial performance test within 1 year of 

engine startup and conduct subsequent performance testing every 8,760 

hours of engine operation or 3 years, whichever comes first, thereafter 

to demonstrate compliance.

    14. Section 60.4212 is amended by revising the introductory text 

and paragraph (a) and adding paragraph (e) to read as follows:





Sec.  60.4212  What test methods and other procedures must I use if I 

am an owner or operator of a stationary CI internal combustion engine 

with a displacement of less than 30 liters per cylinder?



    Owners and operators of stationary CI ICE with a displacement of 

less than 30 liters per cylinder who conduct performance tests pursuant 

to this subpart must do so according to paragraphs (a) through (e) of 

this section.

    (a) The performance test must be conducted according to the in-use 

testing procedures in 40 CFR part 1039, subpart F, for stationary CI 

ICE with a displacement of less than 10 liters per cylinder, and 

according to 40 CFR part 1042, subpart F, for stationary CI ICE with a 

displacement of greater than or equal to 10 liters per cylinder and 

less than 30 liters per cylinder.

with a displacement of less than 10 liters per cylinder may meet the 

requirements of this subpart by manufacturing and installing engines 

meeting the requirements of 40 CFR parts 94 or 1042, as appropriate, 

rather than the otherwise applicable requirements of 40 CFR parts 89 

and 1039. Except as indicated in paragraph (c) of this section, the 

requirements of 40 CFR parts 94 and 1042 that are applicable to 

manufacturers, owners and operators of stationary CI engines located in 

areas of Alaska not accessible by the FAHS with a displacement of less

    Owners and operators of stationary CI ICE that do not use diesel 

fuel may petition the Administrator for approval of alternative 

emission standards, if they can demonstrate that they use a fuel that 

is not the fuel on which the manufacturer of the engine certified the 

engine and that the engine cannot meet the applicable standards 

required in Sec.  60.4204 or Sec.  60.4205 using such fuels and that 

use of such fuel is appropriate and reasonably necessary, considering 

cost, energy, technical feasibility, human health and environmental,

hours of operation or calendar years, whichever comes first. The values 

for certified emissions life for stationary CI ICE with a displacement 

of less than 10 liters per cylinder are given in 40 CFR 1039.101(g). 

The values for certified emissions life for stationary CI ICE with a 

displacement of greater than or equal to 10 liters per cylinder and 

less than 30 liters per cylinder are given in 40 CFR 94.9(a).

* * * * *



[[Page 32627]]



    Date of manufacture means one of the following things:

    (1) For freshly manufactured engines and modified engines, date of 

manufacture means the date the engine is originally produced.

    (2) For reconstructed engines, date of manufacture means the date 

the engine was originally produced, except as specified in paragraph 

(3) of this definition.

    (3) Reconstructed engines are assigned a new date of manufacture if 

the crankshaft is removed as part of the reconstruction or if the fixed 

capital cost of the new and refurbished components exceeds 75 percent 

of the fixed capital cost of a comparable new engine (see the 

definition of ``reconstruct''). An engine that is produced from a 

previously used engine block does not retain the date of manufacture of 

the engine in which the engine block was previously used if the engine 

serial number was removed (or the engine otherwise loses its identity), 

or the engine is produced using all new components except for the 

engine block. In all these cases, the date of manufacture is the date 

of reconstruction or the date the new engine is produced.

* * * * *

    Emergency stationary internal combustion engine means any 

stationary internal combustion engine whose operation is limited to 

emergency situations and required testing and maintenance. Examples 

include stationary ICE used to produce power for critical networks or 

equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when 

electric power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if 

the facility runs on its own power production) is interrupted, or 

stationary ICE used to pump water in the case of fire or flood, etc. 

Stationary CI ICE used for peak shaving are not considered emergency 

stationary ICE. Stationary CI ICE used to supply power to an electric 

grid or that supply non-emergency power as part of a financial 

arrangement with another entity are not considered to be emergency 

engines, except as permitted under Sec.  60.4211(e).

* * * * *

    Freshly manufactured engine means an engine that has not been 

placed into service. An engine becomes freshly manufactured when it is 

originally produced. Note that this includes an engine that is produced 

using some previously used parts if it does not retain its original 

identity.

    Installed means the engine is placed and secured at the location 

where it is intended to be operated; piping and wiring for exhaust, 

fuel, controls, etc., is installed and all connections are made; and 

the engine is capable of being started.

* * * * *

    Model year means the calendar year in which an engine is 

manufactured (see ``date of manufacture''), except as follows:

    (1) Model year means the annual new model production period of the 

engine manufacturer in which an engine is manufactured (see ``date of 

manufacture''), if the annual new model production period is different 

than the calendar year and includes January 1 of the calendar year for 

which the model year is named. It may not begin before January 2 of the 

previous calendar year and it must end by December 31 of the named 

calendar year.

    (2) For an engine that is converted to a stationary engine after 

being placed into service as a nonroad or other non-stationary engine, 

model year means the calendar year or new model production period in 

which the engine was manufactured (see ``date of manufacture'').

* * * * *

    Reconstruct means to replace or refurbish components of an existing 

engine to such an extent that the fixed capital cost of the new and 

refurbished components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost of 

a comparable new engine. The fixed capital cost of the new and 

refurbished components includes the capital cost of each component plus 

the labor cost for the replacement or refurbishment. For purposes of 

reconstruction, an existing stationary engine is defined as including 

those components mounted to or within the cylinder block, the engine 

housings, and engine mounted components, but excluding ancillary 

components such as external cooling for fuel supply.

* * * * *

    Stationary internal combustion engine means any internal combustion 

engine, except combustion turbines, that converts heat energy into 

mechanical work and is not mobile. Stationary ICE differ from mobile 

ICE in that a stationary internal combustion engine is not a nonroad 

engine as defined at 40 CFR 1068.30 (excluding paragraph (2)(ii) of 

that definition), and is not used to propel a motor vehicle, aircraft, 

or a vehicle used solely for competition. Stationary ICE include 

reciprocating ICE, rotary ICE, and other ICE, except combustion 

turbines.

* * * * *

    19. Table 3 to Subpart IIII of Part 60 is revised to read as 

follows:



   Table 3 to Subpart IIII of Part 60--Certification Requirements for

    25. Section 60.4243 is amended by:

    a. Revising paragraph (a) introductory text;

    b. Revising paragraph (a)(1);

    c. Revising paragraph (d); and

    d. Adding paragraph (i) to read as follows:





Sec.  60.4243  What are my compliance requirements if I am an owner or 

operator of a stationary SI internal combustion engine?



    (a) If you are an owner or operator of a stationary SI internal 

combustion engine that is manufactured after July 1, 2008, and must 

comply with the emission standards specified in Sec.  60.4233(a) 

through (c), you must comply by purchasing an engine certified to the 

emission standards in Sec.  60.4231(a) through (c), as applicable, for 

the same engine class and maximum engine power. In addition, you must 

meet one of the requirements specified in (a)(1) and (2) of this 

section.

    (1) If you operate and maintain the certified stationary SI 

internal combustion engine and control device according to the 

manufacturer's emission-related written instructions, you must keep 

records of conducted maintenance to demonstrate compliance, but no 

performance testing is required if you are an owner or operator. You 

must also meet the requirements as specified in 40 CFR part 1068, 

subparts A through D, as they apply to you. If you adjust engine 

settings according to and consistent with the manufacturer's 

instructions, your stationary SI internal combustion engine will not be 

considered out of compliance.

* * * * *

    (d) If you own or operate an emergency stationary ICE, you must



[[Page 32630]]



operate the engine according to the conditions described in paragraphs 

(d)(1) through (4) of this section.

    (1) For owners and operators of emergency ICE, any operation other 

than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, and operation in 

non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as permitted in this 

section, is prohibited.

    (2) There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary ICE 

in emergency situations.

    (3) You may operate your emergency stationary ICE for the purpose 

of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests 

are recommended by Federal, State or local government, the 

manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company associated with the 

engine. Maintenance checks and readiness testing of such units is 

limited to 100 hours per year. The owner or operator may petition the 

Administrator for approval of additional hours to be used for 

maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not 

required if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that 

Federal, State, or local standards require maintenance and testing of 

emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per year.

    (4) You may operate your emergency stationary ICE up to 50 hours 

per year in non-emergency situations, but those 50 hours are counted 

towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance and testing. 

The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for 

peak shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an 

electric grid or otherwise supply power as part of a financial 

arrangement with another entity; except that owners and operators may 

operate the emergency engine for a maximum of 15 hours per year as part 

of a demand response program if the regional transmission organization 

or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has 

determined there are emergency conditions that could lead to a 

potential electrical blackout, such as unusually low frequency, 

equipment overload, capacity or energy deficiency, or unacceptable 

voltage level. The engine may not be operated for more than 30 minutes 

prior to the time when the emergency condition is expected to occur, 

and the engine operation must be terminated immediately after the 

facility is notified that the emergency condition is no longer 

imminent. The 15 hours per year of demand response operation are 

counted as part of the 50 hours of operation per year provided for non-

emergency situations. The supply of emergency power to another entity 

or entities pursuant to financial arrangement is not limited by this 

paragraph (d)(4), as long as the power provided by the financial 

arrangement is limited to emergency power.

* * * * *

    (i) If you are an owner or operator of a modified or reconstructed 

stationary SI internal combustion engine and must comply with the 

emission standards specified in Sec.  60.4233(f), you must demonstrate 

compliance according to one of the methods specified in paragraphs 

(i)(1) or (2) of this section.

    (1) Purchasing, or otherwise owning or operating, an engine 

certified to the emission standards in Sec.  60.4233(f), as applicable.

    (2) Conducting a performance test to demonstrate initial compliance 

with the emission standards according to the requirements specified in 

Sec.  60.4244. The test must be conducted within 60 days after the 

engine commences operation after the modification or reconstruction.

    26. Section 60.4248 is amended by:

    a. Revising the definition of ``Certified emissions life'';

    b. Adding a definition for ``Date of manufacture'' in alphabetical 

order;

Sec.  60.4248  What definitions apply to this subpart?



* * * * *

    Certified emissions life means the period during which the engine 

is designed to properly function in terms of reliability and fuel 

consumption, without being remanufactured, specified as a number of 

hours of operation or calendar years, whichever comes first. The values 

for certified emissions life for stationary SI ICE with a maximum 

engine power less than or equal to 19 KW (25 HP) are given in 40 CFR 

90.105, 40 CFR 1054.107, and 40 CFR 1060.101, as appropriate. The 

values for certified emissions life for stationary SI ICE with a 

maximum engine power greater than 19 KW (25 HP) certified to 40 CFR 

part 1048 are given in 40 CFR 1048.101(g). The certified emissions life 

for stationary SI ICE with a maximum engine power greater than 75 KW 

(100 HP) certified under the voluntary manufacturer certification 

program of this subpart is 5,000 hours or 7 years, whichever comes 

first. You may request in your application for certification that we 

approve a shorter certified emissions life for an engine family. We may 

approve a shorter certified emissions life, in hours of engine 

operation but not in years, if we determine that these engines will 

rarely operate longer than the shorter certified emissions life. If 

engines identical to those in the engine family have already been 

produced and are in use, your demonstration must include documentation 

from such in-use engines. In other cases, your demonstration must 

include an engineering analysis of information equivalent to such in-

use data, such as data from research engines or similar engine models 

that are already in production. Your demonstration must also include 

any overhaul interval that you recommend, any mechanical warranty that 

you offer for the engine or its components, and any relevant customer 

design specifications. Your demonstration may include any other 

relevant information. The certified emissions life value may not be 

shorter than any of the following:

    (1) 1,000 hours of operation.

    (2) Your recommended overhaul interval.

    (3) Your mechanical warranty for the engine.

* * * * *

    Date of manufacture means one of the following things:

    (1) For freshly manufactured engines and modified engines, date of 

manufacture means the date the engine is originally produced.

    (2) For reconstructed engines, date of manufacture means the date 

the engine was originally produced, except as specified in paragraph 

(3) of this definition.

    (3) Reconstructed engines are assigned a new date of manufacture if 

the crankshaft is removed as part of the reconstruction or if the fixed 

capital cost of the new and refurbished components exceeds 75 percent 

of the fixed capital cost of a comparable new engine (see the 

definition of ``reconstruct''). An engine that is produced from a 

previously used engine block does not retain the date of manufacture of 

the engine in which the engine block was previously used if the engine 

serial number was removed (or the engine otherwise loses its identity), 

or the engine is produced using all new components except for the 

engine block.



[[Page 32631]]



In all these cases, the date of manufacture is the date of 

reconstruction or the date the new engine is produced.

* * * * *

    Emergency stationary internal combustion engine means any 

stationary internal combustion engine whose operation is limited to 

emergency situations and required testing and maintenance. Examples 

include stationary ICE used to produce power for critical networks or 

equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when 

electric power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if 

the facility runs on its own power production) is interrupted, or 

stationary ICE used to pump water in the case of fire or flood, etc. 

Stationary SI ICE used for peak shaving are not considered emergency 

stationary ICE. Stationary SI ICE used to supply power to an electric 

grid or that supply non-emergency power as part of a financial 

arrangement with another entity are not considered to be emergency 

engines, except as permitted under Sec.  60.4243(d).

* * * * *

    Freshly manufactured engine means an engine that has not been 

placed into service. An engine becomes freshly manufactured when it is 

originally produced. Note that this includes an engine that is produced 

using some previously used parts if it does not retain its original 

identity.

* * * * *

    Installed means the engine is placed and secured at the location 

where it is intended to be operated; piping and wiring for exhaust, 

fuel, controls, etc., is installed and all connections are made; and 

the engine is capable of being started.

* * * * *

    Model year means the calendar year in which an engine is 

manufactured (see ``date of manufacture''), except as follows:

    (1) Model year means the annual new model production period of the 

engine manufacturer in which an engine is manufactured (see ``date of 

manufacture''), if the annual new model production period is different 

than the calendar year and includes January 1 of the calendar year for 

which the model year is named. It may not begin before January 2 of the 

previous calendar year and it must end by December 31 of the named 

calendar year.

    (2) For an engine that is converted to a stationary engine after 

being placed into service as a nonroad or other non-stationary engine, 

model year means the calendar year or new model production period in 

which the engine was manufactured (see ``date of manufacture'').

* * * * *

    Reconstruct means to replace or refurbish components of an existing 

engine to such an extent that the fixed capital cost of the new and 

refurbished components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost of 

a comparable new engine. The fixed capital cost of the new and 

refurbished components includes the capital cost of each component plus 

the labor cost for the replacement or refurbishment. For purposes of 

reconstruction, an existing stationary engine is defined as including 

those components mounted to or within the cylinder block, the engine 

housings, and engine mounted components, but excluding ancillary 

components such as external cooling for fuel supply.

* * * * *

    Stationary internal combustion engine means any internal combustion 

engine, except combustion turbines, that converts heat energy into 

mechanical work and is not mobile. Stationary ICE differ from mobile 

ICE in that a stationary internal combustion engine is not a nonroad 

engine as defined at 40 CFR 1068.30 (excluding paragraph (2)(ii) of 

that definition), and is not used to propel a motor vehicle, aircraft, 

or a vehicle used solely for competition. Stationary ICE include 

reciprocating ICE, rotary ICE, and other ICE, except combustion 

turbines.

    Stationary internal combustion engine test cell/stand means an 

engine test cell/stand, as defined in 40 CFR part 63 subpart PPPPP, 

that tests stationary ICE.

* * * * *

    27. Table 2 to Subpart JJJJ of Part 60 is revised to read as 

follows:



                     Table 2 to Subpart JJJJ of Part 60--Requirements for Performance Tests
