The regulations that govern these engines are found at 40 CFR 91. Pre-application A. Obtaining a Manufacturer Code : (one time only) EPA requests that engine manufacturers notify EPA if they intend to manufacture marine engines that will require EPA certification. Such notification does not obligate a manufacturer to certify engines. If a manufacturer has not previously certified mobile source engines or vehicles with EPA, EPA will assign a manufacturer code, consisting of three letters or a combination of letter(s) and number(s), that will be a permanent code included in the manufacturer's engine family designations. Manufacturers who already have codes assigned from other EPA mobile source programs must still notify EPA to change their status to include marine engines. B. Contact Persons The manufacturer should assign a primary contact person to work with EPA. All calls and mailings, including the certificate of conformity, will be directed to the manufacturer's primary contact unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer. EPA prefers the manufacturer's primary contact be in the United States. EPA will assign a primary EPA contact person for each manufacturer. Information for the EPA primary contact person may be mailed to (note: express mail to this address will be returned to sender): Anne Fredo Certification Team Leader Engine Compliance Programs Group U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 40 M Street, S.W., Mail Code 6403-J Washington, DC 20460 Phone: 202-233-9263 FAX: 202-233-9596 APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- For Express Mail Deliveries and Office Visits Only (regular U.S. mail delivered to this address will be returned to sender): U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 50 3rdStNW Washington, DC 20001 Att: Anne Fredo C. Model Year Preview EPA requests that each manufacturer provide a preview of its certification plans each model year. The preview should include an estimate of the number of engine families to be certified, when production is planned to begin, and any unusual or special circumstances that may impact certification. A written submission in lieu of a meeting is acceptable. The model year preview is the best time to notify EPA of any advance approvals that may be needed for variations from the regulations in test procedure, equipment or facilities. Failure to request advance approval in a timely manner is likely to result in a delay in certificate issuance, as discussed in Section IV of this guidance document. II. Application A manufacturer can apply for a certificate of conformity by following the steps listed below: The EPA application for a certificate of conformity consists of two parts: I) a completed marine engine certification application form and 2) a signed statement of compliance with federal regulations. Samples of the application form and instructions are included in Appendix A. A sample statement of compliance is included in Appendix B. Upon completion, the application should be sent to the EPA certification team leader. Paper copies and electronic versions are equally acceptable, currently only paper forms are available (the electronic forms will be handed out at the Marine Engine Certification Application Workshop). Applications submitted electronically will undergo an expedited review process since the data entry step is eliminated. EPA will be using the standardized engine family naming convention which is described in this document in Appendix C. The engine family name will appear on the engine information label and in the certificate of conformity. The engine family name should be used in all correspondence to EPA concerning that family. EPA requires that engines be certified annually and that the engine family name be changed every year regardless of carryover status. APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- Subpart B of 40 CFR 91 lists certification-related information that is required to be maintained by the manufacturer. III. Confidential Business Information (CBI) Please note that the manufacturer must clearly indicate any information included in the application that it wishes to claim as confidential and the time period for which confidentiality is to be maintained. The manufacturer should identify the specific answers that it claims as confidential by listing these answers (by question number) in the cover letter to the application or/and by stamping or marking the answers as confidential. If the manufacturer wishes this information to remain confidential until the engine family is introduced into commerce, the manufacturer must specifically make such a request, and must provide the anticipated introduction date. Examples of language for such a request are included in Appendix B. For paper submissions, EPA requests that the manufacturer submit an additional copy of its application in which all information claimed as confidential has been deleted. Please refer to Appendix D for more information on CBI. For electronic applications please refer to instructions in Appendix A describing how to designate responses as CBI. IV. EPA Review of Application EPA will make every effort to review an application within 30 calendar days of receipt of a completed application. As part of the review, EPA will determine whether to request additional information (audit) and/or to perform confirmatory testing. Manufacturers should plan to keep the test engine in its certification configuration until the end of production. If a review is delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, the EPA primary contact will call the manufacturer's primary contact. The EPA primary contact will also call with any questions that arise during application review. If the EPA primary contact cannot reach the manufacturer's primary contact by telephone within a reasonable amount of time, the question will be submitted in writing. V. Certificate of Conformity A certificate of conformity will be issued for an engine family once EPA determines that the regulatory requirements are met. A sample certificate is included in Appendix E. The effective date listed on the certificate is the date that engines covered by the certificate can be introduced into commerce. The certificate ceases to be valid at the end of the production period or December 31 of the calendar year for which the model year is named, whichever date is sooner. In most cases, the effective date of the certificate will be the date that the certificate is signed (the issue date). However, in cases in which a manufacturer requests unusually early certification, the effective date would be APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- January 2 of the first calendar year in which the engine family can be introduced into commerce. For example, if a certificate for the 999 Model Year is issued on October 31,1997, the effective date of the certificate would be January 2, 998 at the earliest. The certificate of conformity is signed by the Director of the Engine Programs and Compliance Division who is delegated with signature authority by the EPA Administrator. A certificate is not valid without this signature. The original signed certificate will be sent to the manufacturer's primary contact at the address provided by the manufacturer in the application for that engine family. VI. Amending an Application After the application has been submitted, the manufacturer may need to amend it. EPA requires a submission of amendments in order to have documentation that production engines are built in accordance with the certificate and to monitor potential changes in emissions from production engines. Amendments which must be reported are those which involve a product line change that may have an effect on emissions and/or those which change information reported in the application. As described at 40 CFR 9 . 22, manufacturers may report amendments to an application either in advance or concurrently with making a change in production. A manufacturer need only submit a brief description and revised application pages if an amendment merely corrects an error or omission in an application or changes a part number and does not involve a change which may affect emissions. If the running change is expected to increase emissions or would change the test engine selection, the manufacturer is required to either submit test data showing compliance after incorporating the running change, or to submit an engineering evaluation as to why engines will remain in compliance with all applicable standards and regulations. If the change is not expected to increase emissions, the manufacturer should submit the reason for that conclusion. EPA may require the manufacturer to perform tests on an engine representing the engine to be changed or added. Changes that may affect the durability of the emission control system, including but not limited to changes that may affect catalyst durability, must also be reported. EPA considers emission-related running changes to be amendments which add an engine model, potentially affect emissions or durability, or affect emission-related components. Many on-highway applicants have followed a practice of identifying successive amendments with a number which includes the family designation and model year of the engines being affected. (For example, the number of the first running change in the 998 model year for family WXYXM00621AI might be 98-00621AI -01.) This practice has proven to be quite useful and is highly recommended. Running changes which result in changes or additions to information in the APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- original application should be submitted using the same format as for application, but with the unaltered information left blank. The concurrent notification procedure described at 40 CFR 91. 22 (e) is similar to the optional notification procedure used by on-highway manufacturers. While this procedure does not eliminate EPA review, it does allow manufacturers to make changes without prior EPA review. However, if EPA determines that affected engines do not meet applicable requirements, EPA will notify the manufacturer that the running change is disapproved and to cease production of the affected engines. See instructions in Appendix A for submitting an electronic copy of a running change. Engine Family Name Carryover To reflect its statutory obligation to issue annual certificates of conformity, and to be consistent with other EPA mobile source certification programs, EPA will be granting certificates for each model year using engine family names that identify that unique model year. These family names should be provided in the manufacturers' applications for certification. It is EPAs preference that these engine family names be updated on engine labels each year. However, EPA will allow the carryover of the original (old) engine family name on engine labels from for carryover families. VIII. Data Carryover Under 40 CFR 9 .1 8(c), the engine manufacturer may request to use test data from a previous EPA model year to represent a new EPA model year. To obtain EPA approval for this carryover status, any differences between the previous and new model year engines must be shown not to cause the engine family to exceed the emission standards. If a running change results in a new worst case engine, then the data reported in the carryover application must reflect the new worst case configuration. IX. Labeling All certified engines must be labeled with an Emission Control Information Label. The Emission Control Information Label contents can be found under 40 CFR 9 . 13(c). For both new and existing technology engines, the label must contain all information listed in the regulations with the exception of information listed under 91.1 3(c)(3), (4), and (5) which may appear in the owners manual instead if there is insufficient room on the label. Also for new and existing technology engines, the date of manufacture may be put on the Emission Control Information Label, be stamped on the engine or put on a supplemental label next to the Emission Control Information Label. For existing APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- technology engines only, information listed under 9 .1 3(c)( 0), (I ), ( 3), and (14) may be placed in the owner's manual instead of on the Emission Control Information Label. X. Certification Fuel Manufacturers have three options for choice of certification fuel for this rule. The options are described at 40 CFR 9 .308(b). The first option is average in-use gasoline (e.g., Clean Air Act Baseline), specified at 40 CFR Part 9 , Subpart D, Appendix A, Table 3 (for the octane specification substitute, 86.1 3-94). The second option is federal certification fuel (e.g., Indolene), specified at 40 CFR 86.13 13-94(a), Table N94- . Note that manufacturers may request approval by the Administrator of fuels with substantially equivalent specifications to these two options. Third, manufacturers may use other fuels as described at 40 CFR 91.308(d). XI. Special and Alternate Test Procedures Regulations specify that special and alternate test procedures be approved by EPA. Special or alternate test procedures may include the use of alternate fuels, test cycles which differ from those described in the regulations, or any other deviation in test procedure. Manufacturers should propose special and alternate test procedures during the certification preview, i.e. prior to testing, as described above. The next step following clarification and an initial indication of approval from EPA is to submit a written request for the special and alternate procedures. If EPA approves, an approval letter will be sent to the manufacturer. When the manufacturer submits an application for an engine family which was tested using special or alternate procedures, a description of the procedures must be included in the statement of compliance. The description should identify the engine families for which the procedure applies, include a brief explanation of the procedure(s) and provide adequate reference to more detailed documentation on the procedure and indication of EPA approval. Manufacturers may elect to use an alternative test procedure provided it yields results equal to the results from the specified test procedure, its use is approved by EPA prior to testing, and the basis for equivalent results is fully described in the manufacturer's application (see 40 CFR 91.1 9(b)( )). EPA will work with manufacturers to assist them in making the required technical demonstrations to show equivalency of the emission results. Because EPA must monitor deviations from prescribed procedures, the certification format specified in this document requires that manufacturers attest that the prescribed regulatory procedures have been followed, or that the manufacturer must briefly describe any deviations from the prescribed regulatory procedures in the statement of compliance section of the application. APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- The requirements to seek EPA approval of special and alternate procedures and to report the procedures in the compliance statement apply to each applicable engine family for each model year regardless of carryover status. XII. Existing Technology PEL Calculations When Testing Postponed If postponing testing for existing technology marine engines, use one the following equations to calculate a PEL: If power is > 4.3kW, FEL(HC + NOx) = [151 +(557/P°'9)]+[2.0]gAW-hr If power is •< 4.3 kW, PEL (HC + NOx) = 302.0 X I . Adjustable Parameters (Provisions apply to New Technology ONLY) An adjustable parameter is any device, system, or element of design which is physically capable of being adjusted (even if access is difficult) and which, if adjusted, may affect emissions or engine performance during emission testing or normal in-use operation. Manufacturers are not liable for emissions over the adjustable range if the adjustable parameter is permanently sealed by the manufacturer or is otherwise not normally accessible using ordinary tools. Unsealed adjustable parameters may be required to be adjusted to a/?/setting within the adjustable range during certification, production line, selective enforcement audit, or in-use testing. If you intend to seal parameters to prevent adjustment, the methods of sealing must provide both a physical and a visual deterrent to tampering. If parameters are adjustable, you are responsible for assuring emission compliance within the full range of adjustability of those parameters. You should report all adjustable parameters sealed or unsealed, in your application. EPA may determine that a parameter which a manufacturer has sealed is not adequately sealed to prevent tampering; in this case EPA will provide written notification to you, and you must modify the seal within 2 years of the written notification, or you will be responsible for emissions over the entire adjustable range of the parameter. XIV. PEL Changes A marine engine manufacturer may change the PEL retroactively either to the beginning of production or to the commencement of a modification of the engine family. A APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- 8 modification of the engine family is defined as a running change which is either a physical modification to an engine, a change in specification or setting, the addition of a new configuration, or the use of a different deterioration factor. PEL changes are not allowed after the end of production. A new certificate must be issued to reflect the new PEL . The effective date of the certificate will be the date the PEL change was implemented. The engine emission information label should be changed to reflect the new PEL. However, engines affected by the PEL change which have already been produced do not have to be relabelled with the new PEL. APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- APPENDIX A EPA Marine Engine Certification Application Form Instructions for Completing Application Form APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- A-2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION APPLICATION FORM Instructions are included in this appendix to aid manufacturers in filling out the certification application form. This application should only be submitted ONCE ALL TESTING AND OTHER CERTIFICATION ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. These instructions are also available as an on-line help system on the Filemaker Pro version of the marine certification application form. The following forms comprise the Marine Engine Certification Application Form: the Statement of Compliance, the Marine Engine Family Information Form, the Marine Engine Test Information Form, the Marine Engine Model Summary Form, the Marine Engine Part Number Summary Form, and the Marine Engine ABT Form. The engine manufacturer completes these forms, which describe the engine family. The layout of the form is set up to assist the EPA with data input into an electronic data base. Please be sure to include units, or in cases where units are present on the forms, verify the validity of the preset units. EPA asks that the units on the forms match the standards in the regulation. Manufacturers may submit applications either electronically or on paper. EPA will most likely be able to expedite reviews for electronic applications since the data entry step is eliminated. The electronic version will employ some "pull-down" menus for some questions which will identify all acceptable responses. Where a response is limited by a pull down menu, those responses are described below. These responses are considered the only acceptable responses to those questions. Manufacturers may submit official correspondence and/or applications through the electronic mail system, Please submit all electronic mail to deadwyler.richard@epamail.epa.gov" The information will then be routed accordingly. Please do not send electronic applications directly to the individual EPA certification representatives. It is important to understand that anytime information is sent via electronic mail, there is no guarantee of security of the information while in transit to the EPA. Additionally, applications may be submitted on diskette. Confidential Business Information (CBI) A Confidential Business Information (CBI) block has been included in the Family Information Form, the Test Information Form, the Model Summary Form, and the Averaging, Banking & Trading (ABT) Form. The purpose of the CBI section is to allow the manufacturer to fill in the application APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- A-3 completely and at the same time designate which pieces of information, if any, are to be kept confidential. Once the application has been received and reviewed by the EPA certification representative, the material designated confidential by the manufacturer, will be erased from the public version of the database and the remainder of the application will be made public. To use the CBI section, first designate whether or not the information is to be kept confidential until introduction into commerce or indefinitely. If the material is CBI until introduction into commerce , type the introduction into commerce date in the blank on the top of the left hand column and enter the number preceding the question whose response is to remain confidential in the left-hand CBI column. If the material is to remain confidential indefinitely enter the number preceding the question whose response is to remain confidential indefinitely in the right-hand CBI column. Information on the ABT form may be specified confidential for a longer period of time than the introduction into commerce date- enter the date in the left hand column. Diagnostic Check The EPA database contains a built-in diagnostic check. The purpose of the diagnostic check is to ensure all required information has been entered on the Family Form and the Test Form. (If there are any questions which are not applicable, enter NA; do not just leave blank.) The diagnostic check also looks for common mistakes such as those made in the family name. The diagnostic check will not take the place of the certification reviewer. Any errors found on the Family Form, will be listed in a box to the right of the application labeled Family Form Checkout Box. Errors on the Test Form will be listed in a box to the right of the application labeled Test Form Checkout Box.

APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- APPENDIX C EPA STANDARDIZED ENGINE FAMILY NAMING CONVENTION APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- C-2 EPA Standardized Engine Family Names for 1998 and Later Model Years The following document is a final document prepared for distribution. It has been peer reviewed and EPA has made a decision to adopt this design. Manufacturers must use a standardized system for identifying their individual engine families. The system described below was developed by EPA in 1995 to meet new regulatory requirements for 998 and later model years. The engine family name consists of 2 characters. For the displacement field, zero is used as a space character in the leading position when a value does not apply. To avoid confusion with numeric characters '0' and ' ', characters T and 'O1 are not used. It is considered desirable to minimize use of characters 'Q1, V, Z, 'S1 'G1, which can be confused with '0',' ', '2', '5', and '6'; however, this has not always been possible. The following method is to be used to name engine families when data is submitted. The format of the standardized engine family name is: Family information for all families Organizing your engine families The engines in your product line must be divided into families according to the following criteria. Generally, engines in the same family must have the same: ( ) combustion cycle, (2) cooling mechanism, (3) cylinder configuration, (4) number of cylinders, (5) number of catalytic converters, in the same location, and with the same volume and composition, and, (6) thermal reactor characteristics. If you can demonstrate that engines with different combustion cycles, cooling mechanisms, etc., have similar emissions over the useful life, you may place the engines in the same engine family. Submit data showing equivalency with your request to combine or further divide engine families. APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- C-3 EPA engine family names Engine families must be named using the definitions provided below. Your certificates will be identified using this 2-character EPA family name.

If the manufacturer code for your company is not shown in the table above, contact EPA and request a code. Optionally, you may use the following definitions for positions 10 and I of the engine family name classAechnology type I =OB, old tech. 2=OB, new tech. 3 = PWC, old tech. 4=PWC, new tech. cycle/cooling/emissions A=2 stroke (2s), air-cooled (ac) engine, no catalyst B=2s, ac, catalyst C=2s, water-cooled (we), no catalyst D=2s, we, catalyst E=4 stroke (4s), ac, no catalyst F=4s, ac, catalyst G=4s, we , no catalyst H=4s, we, catalyst * NOTE: EPA allows carryover of family name on labels to use up stocks of labels; however, manufacturers must update the engine family name every year in the application for certification. APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- APPENDIX D Confidential Business Information in the Certification Application APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- D-2 As a general principle, information provided to EPA by individuals or companies will be considered public information and will be provided to those who request it unless the information falls under one of the exemptions listed in the Freedom of Information Act (the Federal statute which governs disclosure of information to the public). One of these exemptions is information which the submitting individual or company asserts is confidential or proprietary information (e.g., trade secrets). Manufacturers are entitled to assert a claim of confidential business information (CBI) on the information which they are required to submit in a certification application. If information the manufacturer asserts to be CBI is information which is otherwise discernible by physical inspection of the marine engine or equipment (e.g., question 10, "Emission Control System"), EPA will not release any such information that qualifies as CBI before the effective date of the certificate. If the manufacturer wishes this information to remain confidential until the engine family is introduced into commerce (when this date is after the effective date of the certificate), the manufacturer must inform EPA of this actual date of introduction into commerce when it submits its certification application, and specifically request that the information remain confidential until the introduction date. For example, consider this time line for a 997 model year engine: Date certificate issued: December , 996 Date certificate is effective: January 2, 997 Date of introduction into commerce: April , 997 Under this time line, EPA would not release any CBI from the certificate application until April , 997 or later, provided the manufacturer informs EPA of the date of introduction into commerce and makes such a request when it submits its certification package. See sample optional language for such a request in appendix B of this guidance. Manufacturers should be aware that certain information in the certification application can retain CBI status even after the actual date the engines are introduced into commerce. If a manufacturer desires that certain information retain CBI status after the date the engines are introduced into commerce, it must make this request when it submits its application package by informing EPA of the length of time the manufacturer wishes the information to remain CBI. Under EPA regulations at 40 CFR 9 .7, manufacturers must indicate clearly what information submitted is confidential. Manufacturers may state in the application cover letter which sections of the application are CBI, or/and otherwise mark or stamp the CBI. Whenever a manufacturer submits an application which contains information asserted to be confidential, EPA urges the manufacturers to submit an additional application with all CBI deleted to accompany the original application. APRIL 24, 1997 U.S. EPA MARINE ENGINE CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE —DRAFT— ------- D-3 Based on EPA's historical experience with certification applications in the on-highway program, EPA notes that certain information in the application should not be considered eligible to fall under a CBI claim under any circumstances. This information is generally available to the public or competitors and disclosure of this information would not be likely to cause any harm to the competitive position of any manufacturer. The Engine Compliance Programs Group (ECPG) staff believes that the information provided in response to the following questions on the Marine Engine Certification Application Form should not be considered confidential under any circumstances: Manufacturer Name 2. Contact Person, Address, Telephone, Facsimile 3. Model Year 5. Engine Family Name 6. Engine Family Name Used on Label 7. Engine Cycle (2 stroke or 4 stroke) 8. Engine Technology (New or Existing) 9. Valve Location/porting Configuration 3. Production Plant Location 4. Major Applications (OB, PWC, Other) 5. FEL 8. Carryover of Test Results 29. Emission Sampling Method 24. Certification Fuel 25. Test Cycle 28. Test Location 32. Certification Emission Test Results and Test Date Finally, manufacturers should remember that, if EPA receives a request under the Freedom of Information Act for release of a certification application, EPA will inform the requestor (in writing) that all information asserted to be CBI by the manufacturer cannot be released until the Agency (which in this instance means the Office of General Counsel (OGC)) makes a "final determination of confidentiality." The EPCG staff will then write to the manufacturer to offer the opportunity to substantiate its claim about the business confidentiality of the information by answering some questions about the information (the questions can be found in regulations at 40 CFR 2.204(e)). The EPCG staff will review the manufacturer's responses to these questions and forward them with comments to the OGC for the final determination of confidentiality. Any questions about this process should be addressed to: Robert M.
