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. In the "Rules and Regulations" section of this Federal Register, we are taking direct final action without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule. 80 FR 8826 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2015-02-19/2015-02845 2015-02845 fr19fe15-13 RIN 2060-AS36 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0135 FRL 9922-32-OAR https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2015-02-19/2015-02845 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-02-19/html/2015-02845.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-02-19/pdf/2015-02845.pdf Vessels Environmental Protection Air Pollution Control Confidential Business Information Labeling Ozone Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Volatile Organic Compounds Electric Power Fuel Economy Administrative Practice and Procedure Confidential Business Information Diesel Fuel Fuel Additives Gasoline Imports Incorporation by Reference Motor Vehicle Pollution Penalties Petroleum Research Warranties 13 p. 8826 8838 80 FR 8826 Title 40 Part 1037 40 CFR Part 1037 Title 40 Part 1043 40 CFR Part 1043 Title 40 Part 1051 40 CFR Part 1051 Title 40 Part 1054 40 CFR Part 1054 Title 40 Part 1060 40 CFR Part 1060 Title 40 Part 1065 40 CFR Part 1065 Title 40 Part 1066 40 CFR Part 1066 Title 40 Part 59 40 CFR Part 59 Title 40 Part 600 40 CFR Part 600 Title 40 Part 80 40 CFR Part 80 Title 40 Part 85 40 CFR Part 85 Title 40 Part 86 40 CFR Part 86 RIN 2060-AS36 Amendments Related to: Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards, Nonroad Engine and Equipment Programs, and MARPOL Annex VI Implementation; Federal Register Vol. 80, Issue PRORULE 2015-02845 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2015-04-06 EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0135 FRL 9922-32-OAR 6560-50-P 2015-02845 Proposed rule.
