Overview of new standards Spark-ignition marine engine categories Program details Not-to-exceed zone Small businesses Evaporative emissions Certification Questions Outline
Final Rule • On September 4, 2008, EPA Administrator Steve Johnson signed, into law, new exhaust and evaporative emission standards for spark-ignition marine engines and vessels. • These standards apply only to new engines and vessels sold for use in the United States. • The standards will help reduce harmful health effects of ozone and carbon monoxide from these products.
Final Standards: Overview • HC+NOx exhaust emission standards for SI marine engines are similar in stringency to existing standards in California • New CO exhaust emission standards for all SI marine engines • New Not-to-Exceed provisions • New evaporative emission standards
Engine Categories SI Marine • Outboards/PWC • Sterndrive/Inboards • Jetboats • High performance • Air boats • Marine generators Small SI as well
Program Details OB/PWC Engines SD/I Engines Jetboats High performance Certification Evaporative Generator Sets Small business provisions NTE zone
Outboards/PWC • Same HC+NOx standards as CARB 2008 • Can be achieved with existing technology • 2-stroke direct injection engines • 4-stroke engines • Will essentially phase-out carbureted 2-stroke engines
SD/I Standards • Similar stringency as CARB 2008 standards • CO standard based on observed performance • Catalytic control for most engines • Credit program for jet boats using PWC engines • Engine-based standards for high-performance engines
SD/I Standards a This category also includes engines >373 kW that do not otherwise meet the definition of “high-performance.” b 2011 for small-businesses and for engines built using the 4.3L or 8.1L GM engine blocks. c For small businesses, the 2010 standards do not apply and the 2011 standards are delayed until 2013.
Many similar provisions as for OB/PWC Averaging, banking, and trading Closed crankcase Emissions related warranty Similar test procedures Some differences Onboard diagnostics No production line testing No manufacturer run in-use test program SD/I Provisions
Vast majority of SD/I marine engines built from GM engine blocks Planned product line changes Replace 4.3L with 4.1L Replace 8.1L with supercharged 6.0L Providing an additional year of lead time for SD/I engines built from these blocks GM Engine Blocks Vortec 4300 Vortec 8100
Short useful life and warranty periods No NTE standards Most manufacturers eligible for small business provisions Assigned emission factors 15% torque at idle during test Simplified testing High Performance Engines
Marine Generator Sets • Remain classified as small SI engines • Stringent CO standard based on new catalyst-equipped marine generators
Not-To-Exceed Standards Catalyst Equipped Engines 1.5 1.0 NTE standards are a multiplier times the E4 duty cycle certification value
Not-To-Exceed Standards 4-Stroke (non-catalyst) Engines 1.4 1.6 NTE standards are a multiplier times the E4 duty cycle certification value
Not-To-Exceed Standards 2-Stroke Engines NTE standards are a multiplier times the E4 duty cycle certification value
Broad engine families for high performance Additional lead time for SD/I Early ABT bonus credits for SD/I No production line testing Assigned deterioration factors Economic hardship relief Small Business Provisions
Evaporative Emissions • Portable tanks • Tank permeation • Self-sealing vent • Vessels • Hose and tank permeation • Diurnal emissions • Refueling spillage • Engines • Standards apply to hose & tanks directly mounted on engines 309 Boat Fuel Systems: Design and Compliance
Certification Procedures The ABCs of getting a Certificate of Conformity with EPA emission regulations…
The basics: If your product is subject to EPA emissions standards, you must obtain a Certificate of Conformity before you introduce it into US Commerce. Must demonstrate compliance with the applicable regulation. Certificates are issued by the Compliance and Innovative Solutions Division (CISD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality. CISD’s Heavy-Duty and Nonroad Engines Group processes the Applications for Certification for Marine SI You must certify every model year or production period Certification Procedures
To obtain a Certificate of Conformity: Read the regulations! SD/I & components: 40 CFR Parts 1045, 1060, 1065 and 1068 OB/PWC: add 40 CFR Part 91 http://epa.gov/otaq/marinesi.htm Request an EPA Manufacturer Code: http://epa.gov/otaq/verify/mfr-code.htm Contact: Mr. Pete Petersen, 734.214.4204; petersen.pete@epa.gov Determine: Engine Families/Permeation Families The type of Certificate you need: Exhaust, Evaporative (fuel lines, fuel tanks), or both How do I certify?
How do I certify? 4. Gather your data • Pay your fee: • Per Application • Information: http://epa.gov/otaq/fees.htm • Pay electronically at: https://www.pay.gov/ • Contact: • Mr. Bill Vanden Broek • 734.214.4468 • vandenbroek.willem@epa.gov *The amount of the fee depends on the calendar year in which the application is submitted, not the engine’s model year. Pay a fee for each application.
How do I certify? 5. Complete an Application for Certification • Per engine or permeation family • Download application template: epa.gov/otaq/certdat2.htm • Software required: FileMaker Pro (versions 7.0 to 9.0) • www.filemaker.com • Questions on completing/ submitting the application: • Exhaust: Mike Marko, 202.343.9536; marko.michael@epa.gov • Evaporative: Nick Flores: 202.343.2800; flores.nick@epa.gov • Carry over, running changes, carry across • Mark CBI • Comments section Additional Information Application for marine SI components is not on the website yet. Look for it here in the near future.
Engine Family Names 12-character string Must follow EPA’s family naming convention MY 2009 = 9; 2010 = A Marine SI (Exhaust) Evaporative (for MY 2009 only) How do I certify? 9XYZPTANKAB1 Industry Sector Code for Fuel Tanks Model Year 9XYZM1.72AB1 EPA Mfr Code Sequence Characters (Unique Identifier) Industry Sector Code for Fuel Lines Model Year EPA Mfr Code Sequence Characters 9XYZPLINEAB1 Engine Displacement (in Liters or Cubic Inches) Industry Sector Code for Marine SI Engines
