| 00-18023 | Retrofit/Rebuild Requirements for 1993 and Earlier Model Year Urban Buses; Certification of Equipment | Notice | Today's Federal Register document announces EPA's decision to certify equipment to the 0.10 g/bhp-hr standard for the Urban Bus Retrofit/Rebuild Program. The equipment is provided by Turbodyne Systems, Inc. (Turbodyne). Turbodyne submitted to EPA a notification of intent to certify equipment, signed November 14, 1997, pursuant to the program regulations at 40 CFR part 85, subpart O. On April 19, 1999, EPA published a document in the Federal Register that the Turbodyne notification had been received and made the notification available for public review and comment for a period of 45 days (64 FR 19151). EPA has completed its review and the Director of the Certification & Compliance Division has determined that it meets all requirements for certification. Accordingly, EPA approves the certification of this equipment effective July 17, 2000. The equipment consists of the base engine components used on the 25% reduction retrofit/rebuild kit certified by the Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC), components from the 25% retrofit catalyst kit certified by Engine Control Systems, Ltd. (ECS) and a TurboPac supercharger system supplied by Turbodyne that supplies additional air for combustion during engine acceleration. This Turbodyne kit is identical to the kit that was certified by the Detroit Diesel Corporation on May 14, 1998 (63 FR 26798) and is applicable to the same models, and model year engines as the DDC kit. The kit is applicable to 6V92TA urban bus engine models made by Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) from model years 1979 to 1989 and equipped with mechanical unit injectors (MUI), and may be used immediately by transit operators in compliance with program requirements. The kit is available in three horsepower levels (253, 277, and 294). EPA has determined that this Turbodyne kit complies with the 0.10 gram per brake horsepower-hour (g/bhp-hr) particulate matter (PM) standard for the applicable engines. EPA has not determined that Turbodyne's notification complies with the life cycle cost requirements of the program regulations because no life cycle costs were supplied with the application. Today's Federal Register document does not trigger any additional program requirements for transit operators. The 0.10 g/bhp-hr PM level has already been triggered for all engines covered by this notification. The notification of intent to certify, as well as other materials specifically relevant to it, are contained in Category XXIII-A of Public Docket A-93-42, entitled "Certification of Urban Bus Retrofit/ Rebuild Equipment." This docket is located at the address listed below. Additional details concerning this certification, the Turbodyne kit, and responsibilities of transit operators, are provided below. | 2000-07-17 | 2000 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/07/17/00-18023/retrofitrebuild-requirements-for-1993-and-earlier-model-year-urban-buses-certification-of-equipment | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-07-17/pdf/00-18023.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Today's Federal Register document announces EPA's decision to certify equipment to the 0.10 g/bhp-hr standard for the Urban Bus Retrofit/Rebuild Program.
