Regulations , the On-Road Vehicle and Engine  Emission Regulations  and the Marine Spark -
Ignition Engine, Vessel and Off -road Recreational Vehicle Emission Regulations  made 
under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) to maintain alignment 
with the corresponding technical amendments ma de by the U.S. EPA. The proposed 
Amendments would also make modifications to the Off-road Compression -Ignition (Mobile
