ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

revision to the Placer County portion of

reduction credits (ERCs) from the 

reduction of volatile organic compound 

(VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), oxides 

of sulfur (SOX), particulate matter (PM), 

and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions 

due to the use and installation of a 

control device on stationary locomotive 

engines in rail yards. We are proposing 

to approve a local rule that provides 

administrative procedures for creating 

emissions reduction credits, consistent 

with Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) 

requirements.

Standards of Performance for 

Stationary Compression Ignition 

Internal Combustion Engines 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments 

to the standards of performance for 

stationary compression ignition (CI) 

internal combustion engines to allow 

manufacturers to design the engines so 

that operators can temporarily override 

performance inducements related to the 

emission control system for stationary 

CI internal combustion engines 

operating during emergency situations 

where the operation of the engine or 

equipment is needed to protect human 

life, and to require compliance with Tier 

1 emission standards during such 

emergencies. The EPA is also proposing 

to amend the standards of performance 

for certain stationary CI internal 

combustion engines located in remote 

areas of Alaska. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 21, 2015. 

Public hearing. If anyone contacts us
