Control of Emissions From New Marine Compression-Ignition Engines
at or Above 30 Liters per Cylinder
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing emission standards for new marine diesel
engines with per-cylinder displacement at or above 30 liters (called
Category 3 marine diesel engines) installed on U.S. vessels. These
emission standards are equivalent to those adopted in the amendments to
Annex VI to the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships (MARPOL Annex VI). The emission standards apply in
two stages--near-term standards for newly built engines will apply
beginning in 2011; long-term standards requiring an 80 percent
reduction in NOX emissions will begin in 2016. We are also
finalizing a change to our diesel fuel program that will allow for the
production and sale of 1,000 ppm sulfur fuel for use in Category 3
marine vessels. In addition, the new fuel requirements will generally
forbid the production and sale of other fuels above 1,000 ppm sulfur
for use in most U.S. waters, unless alternative devices, procedures, or
compliance methods are used to achieve equivalent emissions reductions.
We are adopting further provisions under the Act to Prevent Pollution
from Ships, especially to apply the emission standards to engines
covered by MARPOL Annex VI that are not covered by the Clean Air Act,
and to require that these additional engines use the specified fuels
(or equivalents).
The final regulations also include technical amendments to our
motor vehicle and nonroad engine regulations; many of these changes
involve minor adjustments or corrections to our recently finalized rule
for new nonroad spark-ignition engines, or adjustment to other
regulatory provisions to align with this recent final rule.
DATES: This final rule is effective on June 29, 2010. The incorporation
by reference of certain publications listed in this regulation is
approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of June 29, 2010.
