(Note: The entire text of section 2299.5 is new la nguage.):

Section 2299.5. Low Sulfur Fuel Requirement, Emiss ion Limits and Other Requirements for Commercial Harbor Craft.

(a) Purpose.

The purpose of this section is to reduce diesel par ticulate matter (PM), oxides of sulfur (SOx), and oxides of nitrogen (NO
x ) from diesel propulsion and auxiliary engines on harbor craft that operate in any of the waters subj ect to this section (“Regulated California Waters”). This section implements provi sions of the Goods Movement Emission Reduction Plan, adopted by the California Air Resources Board (ARB or

CARB ) in April 2006, to reduce emissions and health ris k from ports and the movement of goods in California.

(b) Applicability.

(1) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), this section applies to any person who sells, supplies, offers for sale, purchases, ow ns, operates, leases, charters, or rents any new or in-use diesel fueled harbor cra ft that is operated in any of the Regulated California Waters.

(2) In the event a harbor craft and its engine(s) a re subject to the requirements of this section, and either the regulation for portabl e compression ignition (CI) engines and equipme nt (sections 93116

- 93116.5, title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR)), or the regulation for off

- road CI engines and equipment (sections 2420

- 2427, title 13, CCR), the requirements of this sect ion shall supersede those of the other two regulations fo r all engines on the vessel that are permanently affixed to the vessel (i.e., the en gine, its fueling system, or itsA - 2

exhaust system is welded or otherwise physically co nnected to the vessel or other vessel system in such a way that the engine c annot be eas ily removed for

use in a land

- based application without modifications).

Engine Subject to Multiple ARB Regulations. The requirements of this section shall control in the event an engine on a harbor cr aft is subject to the requirements:

(A) of this section, and either (B) the regulation for portable compression ignitio n (CI) engines and equipment (sections 93116-93116.5, title 17, Califo rnia Code of Regulations (CCR)), or (C) the regulation for off-road CI engines and equ ipment (sections 2420-2427, title 13, CCR).

This provision shall apply only to each engine on t he vessel that meets the above requirements and is permanently affixed to the vess el (i.e., the engine, its fueling system, or its exhaust system is welded or otherwis e physically connected to the vessel or other vessel system in such a way that th e engine cannot be easily removed for use in a land-based application without modifications).

(3) This section applies to towboats and tugboats e ngaged in or intending to engage in the service of pulling, pushing, or hauling alongside tank vessels or tank barges.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of title 13, CCR , section 2299.1 and title 17, CCR, section 93118, this section shall apply to any ocea n-going tugboats and towboats and shall supersede the requirements of 13 CCR 2299 .1 and 17 CCR 93118 in their entirety for ocean-going tugboats and towboat s. For purposes of this paragraph, “ocean-going tugboats and towboats” shal l mean tugboats and towboats with a “registry” (foreign trade) endorsem ent on its United States (U.S.) Coast Guard certificate of documentation, or tugboa ts and towboats that are registered under the flag of a country other than t he United States.

(5) Nothing in this section shall be construed to a mend, repeal, modify, or change in any way any other applicable State, U.S. Coast Guar d, or other federal requirements. Any person subject to this section s hall be responsible for ensuring compliance with both U.S. Coast Guard regu lations and the requirements of this section and any other applicab le State and federal requirements, including but not limited to, obtaini ng any necessary approvals, exemptions, or orders from the U.S. Coast Guard.

(e) Fuel Use and Engine Emission Requirements.

[Note: The plain English narrative in this overvie w is intended as a convenient guide for the reader and in no way adds, deletes, m odifies, or otherwise affects the legal requirements and substantive provisions s pecified in subsection (e) or any other part of this section. Subsection (e) set s forth the various fuel and emission requirements for harbor craft subject to t his regulation, and can be

broken down as follows:

• Subsection (e)(1) specifies low sulfur fuel use re quirements that apply to all harbor craft, new and in-use.

• Subsection (e)(2) specifies the requirement for in stalling hour-meters on all harbor craft, new and in-use.

• Subsection (e)(3) establishes requirements that ap ply to transactions involving new engines to be installed on in-use ves sels, including a limited 6-month “sell-through” provision for non-complying engines.

• Subsection (e)(4) sets forth requirements that app ly to newly acquired new harbor craft, including ferries.

• Subsection (e)(5) sets forth requirements that app ly only to newly acquired new ferries, above and beyond those established in subsection (e)(4). These provisions include requirements for applying Best Available Control Technology (BACT) to new ferries and their engines.

• Subsection (e)(6) is the key provision of this reg ulation, as it achieves emission reductions by requiring the eventual repla cement or cleanup of engines in the fleet of in-use ferries, excursion v essels, tugboats, towboats, push boats, and multipurpose harbor craft . This subsection requires that owners and operators eventually repla ce or otherwise bring into compliance with the specified engine standards all of their pre-Tier 1 and Tier 1-certified engines in their in-use vessel s by the dates shown in the specified compliance schedules. The compliance dates are designed to clean up the fleet’s oldest and dirtiest engines first, while giving more time for relatively newer, Tier 1 engines to be upg raded or replaced. Vessels with their homeport in the South Coast Air Quality Management District ( SCAQMD) have an accelerated compliance schedule to reflect that district’s greater need for expedited emission reductions. The compliance schedules are grouped by vessel type, lo cation of the vessel’s home port, the engine’s model year, and the engine’ s annual hours of operation.

• Subsection (e)(7) (6)(E) provides for a limited set of circumstances under

which the Executive Officer E.O. may grant short extensions to the compliance dates if warranted.]A - 22

(1) All Harbor Craft – Low Sulfur Fuel Use Requirement.

Tier 3 standard s may be used to comply with this paragraph unless the engine being replaced on the in

- use vessel was c ertified to a Tier 4

standard s , in which case the newly acquired engine must meet at least the

Tier 4 standard s

, or cleaner , or

(B) is newly acquired within the allowable 6 month “sell-through” period, as set forth in this paragraph. For purposes of this para graph only, the allowable sell-through period runs through 6 months after the date the Tier 2, Tier 3, orA - 23 Tier 4 standards have come into effect for a new en gine of the same power rating and displacement as the engine being replace d on the in-use vessel. Engines that are subsequently sold, supplied, offer ed for sale, or otherwise newly acquired after the 6 month sell-through perio d are subject to the requirements specified in paragraph (A) of this sub section, even if the engine was previously newly acquired within the 6 m onth sell-through period. does not meet the requirements specified in paragra ph (A) above, but it is sold, supplied, or offered for sale for use in the harbor craft within 6 months after the effective date of the applicable Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4 standards. The provisions of this paragraph (B) shall apply on ly to instances when the engine is sold, supplied, o r offered for sale within the 6

- month period specified above. Engines that are subsequently sol d, supplied, or offered

(6) In-Use Engines and Vessels – Schedules for Meeting Tier 2 or Tier 3

Standards.

(A) For Pre-Tier 1 and Tier-1 Certified Engines on Ferr ies, Excursion Vessels, Tugboats, Towboats, Push Boats, and Multipurpose Ha rbor Craft Only.

1. Applicability

.

This subsection (e)(6) applies to any person who ow ns, operates, sells, purchases, offers for sale, leases, rents, imports, or otherwise acquires an in-use ferry, excursion vessel, tugboat, towboat , push boat, or multipurpose harbor craft with a pre-Tier 1 or Tier -1 certified engine for use in any of the Regulated California Waters. Thi s subsection applies to all such engines on all such vessels.

2. General Requirement.

After January 1, 2009, a person subject to this pro vision may not own, operate, sell, purchase, offer for sale, lease, ren t, import, or otherwise acquire an in-use engine, or a vessel with an in-us e engine, unless that engine complies with at least one of the compliance methods set forth in subsection (e)(6)(C) by the applicable compliance d ate. The compliance methods set forth in subsection (e)(6)(C) involve e ither replacement of the in-use engine with a cleaner engine or demonstr ating that the in-use engine already meets specified standards, as set fo rth below.

For purposes of this subsection, “applicable compli ance date” is either the compliance date, as forth in subsection (e)(6)( D) for the in-use engine, or the compliance date from subsection (e)( 6)(D) for the in-use engine, as extended pursuant to subsection (e)(6)(E ), whichever applies

and occurs later.

(B) [Reserved for Future Use]

(C) Compliance Methods.

1. Method C1 – Replacement of the in-use engine with a U.S. EPA certified Tier 2 engine or one with a higher certification le vel (e.g., Tier 3- certified).

A person may comply under this method by replacing the in-use engine with a Tier 2- or Tier 3-certified engine, as set f orth in this paragraph. The replacement engine must meet the U.S. EPA Tier 2 or Tier 3 standards that would apply to a new engine, of the same size and configuration as the in-use engine, at the time of the applicable compliance date set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D).A - 28 [Note: For example, if the applicable compliance da te is January 1, 2010, and the Tier 2 standards would be in effect a t that time for a new engine of the same size and configuration as the in -use engine, the replacement would need to meet Tier 2 standards. H owever, if the applicable compliance date is instead January 1, 20 13, and the Tier 3 standards would be in effect for a new engine of th e same size and configuration as the in-use engine, the replacement engine would need to meet Tier 3 standards.]

Once the in-use engine has been replaced with an en gine that is U.S.

EPA-certified to meet at Tier 2 or Tier 3 standards , as set forth above, the engine is deemed to be in compliance with this subsection (e)(6) and no further replacements of this engine are required under this subsection. Tier 3-certified engines may be used a s the replacement engine to comply with this paragraph, even if Tier 4-certified engines become available by the applicable compliance date;

2. Method C2 – Demonstrate to the E.O.’s written satis faction that the inuse engine already meets the Tier 2 standards that apply or would apply to new engines on the date the Tier 2 standards bec ame effective.

a. A person may comply under this method by demons trating to the

E.O.’s written satisfaction that:

i. the in-use engine already meets the Tier 2 stan dards,

ii. which apply to new engines of the same power ra ting and displacement as the in-use engine.

b. This compliance method is available only if the person makes the required demonstration before the date Tier 3 stand ards become effective for new engines of the same size and conf iguration as the in-use engine. The person may rebuild the in-use e ngine to a cleaner standard or implement a diesel emission con trol strategy to aid in meeting these standards. [Note: For example , if the Tier 3 standards would have become effective on January 1, 2015 for a new engine of the same size and configuration as th e in-use engine, the person would need to provide the Tier 2-complia nce demonstration to the E.O.’s written satisfaction by January 1, 2015.]

c. For purposes of the demonstration, the person ma y, upon approval by the E.O., rely on any source of reliable and cre dible information, including but not limited to, any of the following:

i. the results from using the test method specified in section (j) or an alternative method approved by the E.O.;A - 29 ii. the in-use engine manufacturer’s certification test data or other emissions test data for that in-use engine;

iii. emissions test data derived from another in-us e engine that is configured and used in a substantially similar way to the in-use engine; iv. emissions test data used to meet the regulatory requirements of

ARB’s Verification Procedure for the non-verified e mission control strategy implemented; or v. emissions test data used to meet the requirement s for U.S. EPA certification for systems providing remanufacture t o a cleaner

standard.

The E.O. may, in his/her sole discretion and based on good engineering judgment, exclude any information he/sh e determines is

not reliable or credible.

3. Method C3 – Demonstrate to the E.O.’s written satis faction that the inuse engine already meets the Tier 2 or Tier 3 stand ards in effect or would be in effect for new engines at the time of t he applicable compliance date.

a. A person may comply under this method by demonst rating to the

E.O.’s written satisfaction that:

i. the in-use engine already meets the Tier 2 or Ti er 3 standards, ii. which apply to new engines of the same power ra ting and displacement as the in-use engine, iii. at the time of the applicable compliance date for the in-use engine.

b. To comply with this method, the person may demon strate that the inuse engine meets the Tier 3 standards, even if Tier 4 standards come into effect by the applicable compliance date. The person may rebuild the in-use engine to a cleaner standard or implement a diesel emission control strategy to aid in meeting these s tandards.

c. For purposes of the demonstration, the person ma y, upon E.O. approval, rely on any source of reliable and credib le information, including but not limited to, any of the following:

i. the results from using the test method specified in section (j) or an alternative method approved by the E.O.; ii. the in-use engine manufacturer’s certification test data or other emissions test data for that in-use engine;A - 30 iii. emissions test data derived from another in-us e engine that is configured and used in a substantially similar way to the in-use engine; iv. emissions test data used to meet the regulatory requirements of

ARB’s Verification Procedure for the non-verified e mission control strategy implemented; or v. emissions test data used to meet the requirement s for U.S. EPA certification for systems providing remanufacture t o a cleaner

standard.

The E.O. may, in his/her sole discretion and based on good engineering judgment, exclude any information he/sh e determines

is not reliable or credible.

4. Method C4 – Demonstrate to the E.O’s written satisf action that the in-use engine has not and will not operate 300 or more hou rs per calendar

year.

A person may comply under this method by demonstrat ing to the E.O.’s written satisfaction that the engine is a low use e ngine. This compliance method requires the person to provide records to th e E.O. of the engine’s total annual hours of operation for the ca lendar year immediately preceding the demonstration. The perso n must also provide documentation sufficient for the E.O. to pr oject future annual hours of operation for the engine. The person will be deemed in compliance with this method only if such records an d documentation

demonstrate to the E.O.’s written satisfaction that the in-use engine has not and will not operate 300 or more hours per cale ndar year.

(D) Compliance Dates.

Table 7 and Table 8 below set forth the compliance dates by which a person must meet the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(A). Table 7 applies only to vessels with a homeport outside of the SCAQMD; Tabl e 8 applies only to vessels with a homeport within the SCAQMD. The com pliance dates are set forth by engine model year and total annual hou rs of operation (for all uses) of the vessel in Regulated California Waters. For Table 7, Method D1, D2, or D3 below may be used for determining the actual or effective engine model year. For Table 8, only Method D1 or D3 may be used for determining the actual or effective engine model ye ar.

1. Method D1 – the engine’s actual model year of manuf acture.

A person may determine an engine’s compliance date under this method by using the engine’s actual model year of manufact ure, as documented by the sales contract, invoice, purchase order, or other legitimate proofA - 31 of purchase for the engine. The actual model year of manufacture may also be shown on a label permanently affixed to the engine by the

manufacturer. In the event of a conflict between t he proof of purchase and the permanent label, the date of manufacture sh own on the permanent label controls.

2. Method D2 – the engine’s effective model year based on the “Engine’s

Model Year + 5” method.

A person may determine an engine’s compliance date under this method by calculating the engine’s effective model year as the actual model year, using Method D1 above, and adding to that num ber 5 more years. To use this method, the person must use a diesel em issions control strategy (DECS) with the engine, as set forth below :

a. Relative to the emissions without the use of the DECS, the engine

with the DECS must be demonstrated to the E.O.’s wr itten satisfaction as emitting at least 25 percent less d iesel PM or NOx, and neither of those pollutants are increased by mo re than 10 percent. This requirement is met automatically if the DECS is a verified DECS (VDECS);

b. If the DECS is not a VDECS, the person must demo nstrate compliance with this paragraph by submitting to the E.O. emissions

data that demonstrate the non-verified emission con trol technology

achieves a diesel PM or NOx emission reduction of 2 5 percent or better, using the test methods specified in subsect ion (j). Upon approval of the E.O., the person may submit data de rived from the

use of other test methods to demonstrate to the E.O .’s written satisfaction the required 25 percent minimum emissi on reductions,

such as:

i. marine engine certification test data for the ha rbor craft propulsion or auxiliary engine, or engine manufacturer emissio n test data; ii. emissions test data derived from another engine that is configured and used in a substantially similar way to the in-u se engine on which the emission control strategy is to be used; or iii. emissions test data used to meet the regulator y requirements of

the ARB Verification Procedure for the non-verified emission control strategy implemented.

The E.O. may, in his/her sole discretion and based on good engineering judgment, exclude any data derived from the test methods under paragraph b above that he/she determi nes are not

reliable or credible.A - 32 A person’s use of a DECS or VDECS, which meets the requirements of this provision, extends the engine’s compliance date to the compliance date for a similar engine that is five m odel years newer (i.e., the actual model year for the engine with th e emissions control strategy + 5).

[Note: For example, the owner of a 1995 model year engine on a tugboat, which has a homeport outside of SCAQMD and operates in Regulated California Waters for 750 hours in 2013, would normally be required to meet a December 31, 2014 compliance date, as set forth in Table 7. However, if a DECS that meets th e requirements of this provision is implemented with this engine prio r to the 2014 nominal compliance date, the engine’s actual compli ance date would be extended to the compliance date for a 2000 model year engine (i.e., the effective model year = the 1995 model ye ar + 5). Accordingly, in that scenario, the engine’s effecti ve model year would extend the compliance date to December 31, 2016];

3. Method D3 – the engine’s effective model year based on the “Engine’s

Tier 1 Rebuild Model Year” method.

A person may determine an engine’s compliance date by demonstrating, to the E.O.’s written satisfaction, that the engine is an existing pre-2004 model year engine that was rebuilt to conform with U.S. EPA Tier 1 standards prior to January 1, 2008. If the E.O. is thus satisfied, the effective model year of the Tier 1 rebuilt engine, for purposes of determining the compliance date in Table 7 or Table 8, is the actual year

in which the Tier 1 rebuild occurred.A - 33

Except as provided in subsection (c), beginning Jan uary 1, 2009, no person shall own, operate, sell, purchase, offer for sale, lease , rent, import, or otherwise acquire an in

- use ferry, excursion vessel, tugboat, towboat, push boat or multipurpose harbor craft with pre

- Tier 1 or Tier 1

- certified engines for use in any of the Regulated California Waters unless the vesse l’s in

- use pre

- Tier 1 or

Tier 1

- certified engines meet the requirement s of subsection (e)(6)(D) on or before the compl iance date set forth in Table 7

, or Table 8

, of subsection (e)( 6 )(C) below, whichever date is applicable. For purposes of this section, a multipurpose harbor craft’s total annual hours of o peration shall be the basis for determining that vess el’s compliance date in Table 7

, or Table 8 , of

subsection (e)(6)(C).

(C) [Reserved for Future Use].

(D) Compliance Schedules and Determination of Engine Model Year

.

Except as otherwise provided for in subsection (c), in this subsection (e)(6)(C), and in subsection (e)(6)(D), the followi ng compliance dates shall apply to all in

- use engines and persons subject to subsection (e)(6)(A).

Table 7 specifies the compliance dates, by engine model yea r and annual hours of operation, th at apply to in

- use engines in harbor craft subject to subsection (e)(6)(A) and for which the vessel’s hom eport is located outside the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SC AQMD). Table 8 contains the compliance dates, by engine model year and ann ual hours of operation, that apply to in

- use engines in harbor craft subject to subsection (e)(6)(A) and for which the vessel’s homeport is lo cated within SCAQMD.

For purposes of determining the applic able compliance date in Table 7

, or Table 8, the engin e’s model year shall be determined using any of the following:

1. the engine’s actual model year of manufacture;

2. the engine’s effective model year ba sed on the “Engine’s Model

Year + 5” method, (applicable only for vessels with home ports outsid e of
the SCAQM D) which is as follows:

The “Engine’s Model Year + 5” method extends the ef fective model year if the person uses an emissions control strategy pu rsuant to this paragraph. To use this method, the person must use an emission control strategy with the exist ing in

- use engine that reduces either diesel PM or NOx by a minimum of 25 percent and does not i ncrease either pollutant by more than 10 percent, relative to the emissions of those pollutants without the use of the emission control strategy. If the

emissi on control strategy is not a VDECS, the person shal l demonstrate compliance with this paragraph by submitting emissi ons data thatA - 34 demonstrate the non

- verified emission control technology achieves a diesel PM or NOx emission reduction of 25 percent o r bette r, using the test methods specified in subsection ( j ). Upon approval of the E.O., the person may submit data derived from the use of othe r test methods to demonstrate the required 25 percent minimum emissio n reductions,

such as:

a. marine engine certi fication test data for the harbor craft propulsion or auxiliary engine, or engine manufacturer emissio n test data; or

b. emissions test data derived from another engine tha t is configured and used in a substantially similar way to the in

- use engine on

whic h the emission control strategy is to be used; or

c. emissions test data used to meet the regulatory req uirements of the

ARB Verification Procedure for the non

- verified emission control strategy implemented.

A person’s use of an emissions control strateg y pursuant to this provision extends the engine’s effective compliance date to the compliance date for a similar engine that is five m odel years newer (i.e., the actual model year for the engine with the emiss ions control strategy + 5). For example, the o wner of a 1995 model year engine on a tugboat with a homeport outside of SCAQMD and which operate s in Regulated California Waters for 750 hours in 2013, would norm ally be required to meet a December 31, 2014 compliance date, as set fo rth in Table 7.

Howev er, if an emissions control strategy that meets the requirements of this provision is implemented with this engine prio r to the 2014 nominal compliance date, the engine’s effective compliance date would be extended to the compliance date for a 2000 model y ear engine (i.e., the 1995 model year + 5). Accordingly, in that scenari o, the engine’s effective compliance date would be December 31, 201 6; or

3. the engine’s effective model year based on the “Eng ine’s Tier 1 Rebuild Model Year” method, which is as foll ows;

This method requires the person to demonstrate to t he E.O.’s written satisfaction that the existing pre

- 2004 model year engine was rebuilt to conform with U.S. EPA Tier 1 standards prior to Jan uary 1, 2008. If the E.O. is thus satisfied, the effecti ve model year of the Tier 1 rebuilt engine for purp oses of determining the Table 7

, or Table 8

, compliance date shall be the actual year in which the Tier 1 rebuil d occurred

(E) Compliance Extensions.

Pursuant to this subsection (e)(6)(E), a person s ubject to the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(C) may request in writing to the E.O. an extension to a compliance date set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D) ( i.e., extension to the “nominal” compliance date). The E.O. may grant an owner or operator the person an extension from a to the nominal compliance date deadline specified in subsect ion (e)(6)(C D ) for any one of the reasons set forth below. An ow ner or operator A

person granted such an extension shall be is deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(D C ) during the extension period, but only upon written authorization from the E.O. made pursu ant to this provision and only until the end of the extension period. During the extension, the person must meet all other requirements of this section. Immed iately upon the end of the extension period, the person must meet all the appl icable requirements of this section, including but not limited to, subsection ( e)(6)(C).

Except as provided in paragraph (e)(6)(E) 3 below, the E.O. may not combine compliance extensions granted pursuant to this prov ision may not be co mbined with any other compliance date extensions, includin g those set forth in this provision and in subsection (e)(6)( C D )2 and (C D )3. And E e xcept as provided in paragraphs (e)(6)(E) 2 and (e)(6)(E) 3 below, under no circumstances shall may the E.O. grant more than one compliance extension f or any individual engine, set of engines, or harbor craft.

1. Change in Annual Hours of Operation . The E.O. may grant a onetime, maximum one year extension to the nominal compliance dates set forth in subsection (e)(6)(C D ), provided the applicant person demonstrates to the E.O.’s written satisfaction that the all of the following has have occurred:

a. The vessel owner or operator person reasonably determined the vessel engine’s nominal compliance date based on th e engine’s hours of operation two years before the nominal com pliance date; and

b. In the year immediately prior to the nominal co mpliance date,

the engine’s annual hours of operation significantl y increased significantly from the prior year such that the engine’s effecti ve nominal compliance date would have been accelerated from one compliance date to an earlier compliance date.A - 39

[Note: For example, let’s assume suppose an operator has a 1982-model

year engine on a tugboat, which has a homeport outs ide of SCAQMD and operates for 750 hours in Regulated California Wate rs in 2010. If it is reasonable for the operator to assume the annual ho urs of operation in 2011 will be similar to 2010, the operator would pr oject from Table 7 that the engine’s compliance date would be is December 31, 2012, and would plan his operations accordingly. However, if the vessel engine’s operation increased substantially to 1600 hours in 2011, the engine normally would then have its compliance date accelerated to Decemb er 31, 2011, according to Table 7. The one-year extension would, therefor e, extend the engine’s actual compliance date back to what it would have b een without the change in hours of operation (i.e., back to December 31, 2 012).].

2. No Suitable Engine Replacement for Harbor Craft . The E.O. may
grant to an owner or operator a person a one year extension, which can be renewed annually, provided only if the owner or operator

person demonstrates to the E.O.’s written satisfaction tha t there is no suitable Tier 2-certified or Tier 3-certified repla cement engine available anywhere that can be used in his/her the person’s specific vessel, and

he/she the person cannot otherwise meet the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(C)

.

The E.O., in his/her sole discretion, may use any i nformation available to the E.O. to rebut the person’s demonstration. For purposes of this paragraph, the E.O. may only considerations for deem an engine’s suitability as suitable to replace an existing engine are whether if the replacement engine is similar in horsepower to the existing engine, the replacement engine can fit within the vessel’s engine compartment, and installation of the replacement engine would no t cause the vessel to violate U.S. Coast Guard or other applicable saf ety regulations. ;
t T he E.O. may not consider the cost of the replacement engine, by itself or including installation and downtime costs

, shall not be a valid basis for replacement in determining its suitability as a replacement

.

The application for and issuance of an initial exte nsion and subsequent extensions pursuant to this paragraph shall be are subject to the following requirements:

a. For an initial extension and all subsequent annu al extensions to be granted pursuant to this paragraph, the E.O. sha ll follow the same procedures for applying, determining completen ess, allowing public review and considering public comme nts, taking final action, and publishing E.O. decisions that ar e set forth in subsection (g f ) for Alternative Control of Emissions ( ACE) applications;A - 40 b. The E.O. shall consider all information submitte d by the public, including but not limited to, information related t o the availability of replacement engines suitable for the applicant’s person’s vessel;

c. Except for the engine(s) for which the extension is sought, the applicant shall person must demonstrate that all other engines subject to the owner or operator’s person’s direct control meet the requirements of subsection (e)(6);

d. The person must submit the application for an extension shall

be submit ted to and so that it is received by the E.O. no later

than six 6 months before the nominal compliance date of the engine for which the extension is requested;

e. The person must identify in T t he application shall identify each engine for which the extension is requested;

f. For each engine identified in paragraph (E)2. e 2 above, the
person must applicant shall provide in the application a detailed description of the reasons and factors that serve a s the basis for the applicant ’ s claim that no suitable replacement engines are is available. This description shall must include, but not be limited

to at a minimum , detailed engineering diagrams, calculations, and citations to applicable U.S. Coast Guard regula tions that support the applicant’s person’s claim that there are no suitable replacement engines available.

g. After the initial extension, T t he E.O. may grant additional one year extensions, provided the following requirement s are met:

i. All procedures specified in paragraph (e)(6) (E) 2.a and (e)(6)(E) 2.b above are followed;

ii. The application for an additional extension d emonstrates the engines identified in paragraph (e)(6)(E) 2.c remain in compliance with this section;

iii. The application is received by the E.O. no s ooner than six 6 months but no later than 2 months before the expira tion of the previous extension;

iv. The application identifies the engine(s) for which the additional extension is requested;A - 41

v. For each engine identified in paragraph (e)(6) (E)2.g. iv. above, the applicant shall person must provide in the application a detailed description of the reasons and factors that serve as the basis for the applicant ’s claim that suitable replacement engines remain unavailable. This descr iption

shall must include, but not be limited to at a minimum
