ANNOUNCEMENT 2


Subject: AIR, TRANSPORT, ENERGY/Fuel - FR. EPA. Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle and Engine Conversions
 
[Federal Register Volume 76, Number 68 (Friday, April 8, 2011)]
[Rules and Regulations]
[Pages 19830-19874]

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 85 and 86

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0299; FRL-9289-7]
RIN 2060-AP64

Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle and Engine Conversions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is streamlining the process by which manufacturers of
clean alternative fuel conversion systems may demonstrate compliance
with vehicle and engine emissions requirements. Specifically, EPA is
revising the regulatory criteria for gaining an exemption from the
Clean Air Act prohibition against tampering for the conversion of
vehicles and engines to operate on a clean alternative fuel. This final
rule creates additional compliance options beyond certification that
protect manufacturers of clean alternative fuel conversion systems
against a tampering violation, depending on the age of the vehicle or
engine to be converted. The new options alleviate some economic and
procedural impediments to clean alternative fuel conversions while
maintaining environmental safeguards to ensure that acceptable emission
levels from converted vehicles are sustained.

DATES: The rule is effective April 8, 2011.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0299. All documents in the docket are listed in the
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the following
location: EPA Docket Center, EPA/DC, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202)
566-1744.
