engine categories that are permanently 

preempted from state regulation. To 

determine consistency with section 

209(b)(1)(C), EPA typically reviews 

nonroad authorization requests under 

the same ‘‘consistency’’ criteria that are 

applied to motor vehicle waiver 

requests. Pursuant to section 

209(b)(1)(C), the Administrator shall not 

grant California a motor vehicle waiver 

if she finds that California ‘‘standards 

and accompanying enforcement 

procedures are not consistent with 

[section 202(a)]’’ of the Act. Previous 

decisions granting waivers and 

authorizations have noted that state 

standards and enforcement procedures 

are inconsistent with section 202(a) if: 

(1) There is inadequate lead time to 

permit the development of the necessary 

technology giving appropriate 

consideration to the cost of compliance 

within that time, or (2) the federal and 

state testing procedures impose 

inconsistent certification 

requirements.11

If California amends regulations that 

EPA has already authorized, California 

can seek EPA confirmation that the 

amendments are within the scope of the 

previous authorization. A within-thescope confirmation, without a full 

authorization review, is permissible if 

three conditions are met.12 First, the 

amended regulations must not 

undermine California’s determination 

that its standards, in the aggregate, are 

as protective of public health and 

welfare as applicable federal standards. 

Second, the amended regulations must 

not affect consistency with section 

202(a) of the Act. Third, the amended 

regulations must not raise any ‘‘new 

issues’’ affecting EPA’s prior 

authorizations. 

In considering whether to grant 

authorizations for accompanying 

enforcement procedures tied to 

standards for which an authorization 

has already been granted, EPA addresses 

questions as to whether the enforcement 

procedures undermine California’s 

determination that its standards are as 

protective of public health and welfare 

as applicable federal standards, and 

whether the enforcement procedures are 

consistent with section 202(a).13

III. EPA’s Request for Comments 

As stated above, EPA is offering the 

opportunity for a public hearing, and is 

requesting written comment on issues 

relevant to a within-the-scope analysis 

and a full authorization analysis. 

Specifically, we request comment on 

whether the 2011 Amendments (1) 

undermine California’s previous 

determination that its standards, in the 

aggregate, are at least as protective of 

public health and welfare as comparable 

federal standards; (2) affect the 

consistency of California’s requirements 

with section 209 of the Act; or (3) raise 

any other new issues affecting EPA’s 

previous waiver or authorization 

determinations. 

Should any party believe that the 

amendments are not within the scope of 

the previous authorizations, EPA also 

requests comment on whether the 2011 

Amendments meet the criteria for a full 

authorization. Specifically, we request 

comment on: (a) Whether CARB’s 

determination that its standards, in the 

aggregate, are at least as protective of 

public health and welfare as applicable 

federal standards is arbitrary and 

capricious; (b) whether California needs 

such standards to meet compelling and 

extraordinary conditions; and (c) 

whether California’s standards and 

accompanying enforcement procedures 

are consistent with section 209 of the 

Act. 

IV. Procedures for Public Participation 

If a hearing is held, the Agency will 

make a verbatim record of the 

proceedings. Interested parties may 

arrange with the reporter at the hearing 

to obtain a copy of the transcript at their 

own expense. Regardless of whether a 

public hearing is held, EPA will keep 

the record open until February 8, 2016. 

Upon expiration of the comment period, 

the Administrator will render a decision 

on CARB’s request based on the record 

from the public hearing, if any, all 

relevant written submissions, and other 

information that she deems pertinent. 

All information will be available for 

inspection at the EPA Air Docket No. 

EPA–HQ–OAR–2015–0224. 

Persons with comments containing 

proprietary information must 

distinguish such information from other 

comments to the greatest extent possible 

and label it as ‘‘Confidential Business 

Information’’ (CBI). If a person making 

comments wants EPA to base its 

decision on a submission labeled as CBI, 

then a non-confidential version of the 

document that summarizes the key data 

or information should be submitted to 

the public docket. To ensure that 

proprietary information is not 

inadvertently placed in the public 

docket, submissions containing such 

information should be sent directly to 

the contact person listed above and not 

to the public docket. Information 

covered by a claim of confidentiality 

will be disclosed by EPA only to the 

extent allowed, and according to the 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

If no claim of confidentiality 

accompanies the submission when EPA 

receives it, EPA will make it available 

to the public without further notice to 

the person making comments.
