Notes:
    For Tiers 1 and 2, Category 1  (C1) marine engines are greater than or equal to
    37 kilowatts (kW) and have a displacement less than 5.0 liters per cylinder
    (L/cylinder); Category 2 (C2) marine engines have a displacement greater than
    or equal to 5.0 L/cylinder and less than 30 L/cylinder; and Category 3 (C3)
    marine engines have a displacement greater than or equal to 30.0 L/cylinder.
    For Tiers 3 and 4, Category 1  represents engines up to 7 L/cylinder displace-
    ment; and Category 2 includes engines from 7 to 30 L/cylinder. The definition of
    Category 3 marine engines remains the same.
    Tiers 1  and 2 for marine engines less than 37 kW are subject to the same emis-
    sion standards as for land-based  engines. See Table 1 in 40 Code of Federal
    Regulations (CFR) Part 89.112 and 40 CFR Part 89.104.
    For Tiers 1 and 2, this refers to the rated power; for Tiers 3 and 4, this refers to
    the maximum engine power.
    Total hydrocarbon (THC) plus nitrogen oxides (NOx) for Tier 2 standards.
    Useful life is expressed in hours or years, whichever comes first. For Tiers 3 and
    4, a longer useful life in hours for  an engine family must be specified if either:!))
    the engine is designed, advertised,  or marketed to operate longer than the mini-
    mum useful life; or 2) the basic mechanical warranty is longer than the minimum
    useful life.
f   Warranty period is expressed in years and hours, whichever comes first.
g   For Tiers 3 and 4, there are no evaporative emission standards for diesel-fueled
    engines, or engines using other nonvolatile or nonliquid fuels (e.g., natural gas).
    If an engine uses a volatile liquid fuel, such as methanol, the engine>s fuel
    system and the vessel in which the engine is installed must meet the evapora-
    tive emission requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1045
    that apply with respect to spark-ignition engines. Manufacturers subject to evap-
    orative emission standards must meet the requirements of 40 CFR 1045.112 as
    described in 40 CFR 1060.1 (a)(2).
h   Indicates the model years for which the specified standards start.
i   N is the maximum test speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (rpm).
j   Manufacturers of Tier 3 engines greater than or equal to 19 kW and less than
    75 kW with displacement below 0.9 L/cylinder may alternatively certify some or
    all of their engine families to  a particulate matter (PM) emission standard of 0.20
    grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kW-hr) and a NOx+HC emission standard fo 5.8  g/
    kW-hr for 2014 and later model years.
k   The applicable Tier 2 NOx+HC standards continue to apply instead of the Tier 3
    values for engines at or above 2000 kW.

                                                                  Continued

-------
I    These Tier 3 standards apply to Category 1 engines below 3700 kW except
    for recreational marine engines at or above 3700 kW (with any displacement),
    which must meet the Tier 3 standards specified for recreational  marine engines
    with a displacement of 3.5 to 7.0 L/cylinder.
m  The following provisions are optional: 1)Manufacturers may use NOx credits to
    certify Tier 4 engines to a NOX+HC emission standard of 1.9 g/kW-hr instead of
    the NOX and HC standards. See 40 CFR 1042.101 (a)(8)(i) for more details. 2)
    For engines below 1000 kW, manufacturers may delay complying with the Tier 4
    standards until October 1, 2017. 3) For engines at or above 3700 kW, manufac-
    turers may delay complying with the Tier 4 standards until December 31, 2016.
n   The Tier 4 standard is for HC (not HC+NOx) in g/kW-hr.
o   These Tier 3 standards apply to Category 2 engines below 3700 kW; no Tier 3
    standards apply for Category 2 engines at or  above 3700 kW, although there
    are Tier 4 standards that apply.
p   An alternative set of Tier 3 and Tier 4 standards for PM, NOx, and HC are avail-
    able for Category 2 engines at or above 1400 kW, but must be applied to all of a
    manufacturer's engines in a given displacement category in model years 2012
    through 2015.
