These engines, used primarily in construction, agricultural, and industrial applications, are projected to continue to contribute large amounts of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides, all of which contribute to serious public health problems in the United States. These problems include premature mortality, aggravation of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, aggravation of existing asthma, acute respiratory symptoms, chronic bronchitis, and decreased lung function.

This comprehensive national program regulates nonroad diesel engines and diesel fuel as a system. New engine standards will begin to take effect in the 2008 model year, phasing in over a number of years. These standards are based on the use of advanced exhaust emission control devices.

Nonroad diesel fuel sulfur reductions of more than 99 percent from existing levels will provide significant health benefits as well as facilitate the introduction of high-efficiency catalytic exhaust emission control devices as these devices are damaged by sulfur.

We are now projecting that by 2030, this program will reduce annual emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter by 738,000 and 129,000 tons, respectively. These emission reductions will prevent 12,000 premature deaths, over 8,900 hospitalizations, and almost a million work days lost, and will achieve other quantifiable benefits every year. The total benefits of this rule will be approximately $80 billion annually by 2030. The substantial health and welfare benefits we are projecting for this final action exceed those we anticipated at the time of this proposal. Costs for both the engine and fuel requirements will be many times less, at approximately $2 billion annually. 69 FR 38958 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2004-06-29/04-11293 04-11293 fr29jn04-21 RIN 2060-AK27 6560-50-P OAR-2003-0012 FRL-7662-4 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2004-06-29/04-11293 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-06-29/html/04-11293.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-06-29/pdf/04-11293.pdf Fuel Additives Gasoline Imports Incorporation by Reference Labeling Motor Vehicle Pollution Penalties Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Environmental Protection Air Pollution Controls Administrative Practice and Procedure Confidential Business Information Research Vessels Warranties Air Pollution Control 316 p. 38958 39273 69 FR 38958 Title 40 Part 1039 40 CFR Part 1039 Title 40 Part 1048 40 CFR Part 1048 Title 40 Part 1051 40 CFR Part 1051 Title 40 Part 1065 40 CFR Part 1065 Title 40 Part 1068 40 CFR Part 1068 Title 40 Part 69 40 CFR Part 69 Title 40 Part 80 40 CFR Part 80 Title 40 Part 86 40 CFR Part 86 Title 40 Part 89 40 CFR Part 89 Title 40 Part 94 40 CFR Part 94 Title 40 Part 9 40 CFR Part 9 RIN 2060-AK27 Control of Emissions of Air Pollution From Nonroad Diesel Engines and Fuel; Federal Register Vol. 69, Issue RULE 04-11293 II ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2004-08-30 OAR-2003-0012 FRL-7662-4 6560-50-P 04-11293 Final rule.
