| 97-33768 | Control of Air Pollution: Emission Standards for New Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines at or Above 37 Kilowatts; Preemption of State Regulation for Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Standards; Amendments to Rules | Proposed Rule | Today's action, consistent with an order and opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, proposes amendments to EPA's regulations setting emission standards for large (at or above 37 kilowatts) nonroad compression ignition engines and to EPA's regulations defining the scope of preemption of state and local nonroad emission standards and establishing procedures for EPA authorization of California nonroad emission standards. Specifically, EPA proposes to withdraw portions of an interpretive rule which set forth the Agency's position on the Clean Air Act regarding the status of certain internal combustion engines manufactured before the effective date of the final rulemaking promulgating EPA's definition of nonroad engine. Additionally, consistent with the DC Circuit opinion, EPA also is amending the remaining text of this interpretive rule, as well as EPA's regulations issued under section 209(e) of the Act regarding the Agency's California nonroad standards authorization process, to clarify that California must seek authorization from EPA prior to enforcing standards and other requirements relating to emissions from any nonroad vehicles or engines, and not just new nonroad vehicles and engines, which was the original language used in these regulations. In the final rule section of today's Federal Register, EPA is issuing these amendments as a direct final rule without prior proposal, because EPA views the action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the amendments and for the decision to issue them as a direct final rule is set forth in the Preamble to the direct final rules. If no adverse comments are received in response to the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. Additionally, EPA will hold a public hearing on this proposed rule if one is requested. | 1997-12-30 | 1997 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/30/97-33768/control-of-air-pollution-emission-standards-for-new-nonroad-compression-ignition-engines-at-or-above | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-30/pdf/97-33768.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Today's action, consistent with an order and opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, proposes amendments to EPA's regulations setting emission standards for large (at or above 37 kilowatts) nonroad compression... |
