c d These standards are fixed except that e ngine families certified under the discontinuation allowance in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, § 2442(g)(2) may continue to meet current certification levels for HC+NOx over the engine’s useful life provided that the manuf acturer certifying such an engine family also certifies one or more engine families to family emissions limits sufficiently low to enable compliance on a corporate average basis

d e This standard may be met on a corporate average basis between high performance engines and/or between standard performance and high performance engines. Alternately, large volume dual category manufacturers that produce high performance engines and qualified intermediate

volume manufacturers may comply with the exhaust standards for small volume manufacturers provided a sufficient number of vessels with the

manufactur er’s standard performance engines are equipped with enhanced evaporative control systems as noted in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, § 2442(b)(5). Manufacturers must declare their intent to use this alternative prior to certifying engines for th e 2009 model year and

must continue to certify future model year engines using this alternat ive exclusively across product lines

. A new spark

- ignition marine eng ine produced solely to replace an engine originally manufactured in accordance with the requirements of § 2422

shall be identical in specifications to the most stringent certified emissions configuration currently available that can be installed in a vesse l or personal watercraft without unreasonable modifications

, as determined by- 22

- the Executive Officer

. A new replacement engine with emissions performance less than maximum stringency shall be allowed only if all engines of greater stringency are incompatib le with the vessel or personal

watercraft and so long as the emissions performance of the new replacement engine is at least as stringent as that of the engine being replaced

. New r eplacement engines that do not comply with current year emission requireme nts must be labeled as follows:

“ SALE OR INSTALLATION OF THIS ENGINE FOR A NY

PURPOSE OTHER THAN T O REPLACE AN ENGINE OF

SIMILAR OR LESS STRI NGENT EMISSIONS

PERFORMANCE IS A VIOLATION OF CALIF ORNIA LAW

SUBJECT TO CIVIL PEN ALTY.”

(1) Jet Boat Engines

(A) Jet boat engine families previo usly certified to the HC+NOx

standards for ou tboard engines and personal watercraft in § 2442(a) may continue to be certified to th ose standards

until 2012 with the addition al requirement for 2009 and subsequent model years to comply with the applicable

ca rbon monoxide standards for OB/PWC engines in Table

1.2

.

(B) Beginning in 2010, all new jet boat engine families shall comply with the standards for sterndrive/ outboard inboard engines in § 2442 (b) upon introduction, except that the se new jet boat engine families may be cross

- category

averag ed with any other jet boat or personal watercraft engine family to comply with th ose standards until 2012.

1. Notwithstanding subparagraph 2. below, a n e ngine famil y certified to the § 2442 (a) standards prior to 2 010 , but n ot previously use d in a jet boat application would be considered

a new jet boat engine famil y in 2010

.

2

. Replacements for discontinued jet boat engine families.

I n 2010 and 2011, i f a jet boat engine certified to the § 2442 (a) standards pri or to 2010 is discontinued, the manufacturer may introduce a replacement engine family that complies

with the § 2442 (a) standards , provided that the replacement- 23

- engine family is certified to an FEL at or below the certified

emissions level of the family i t replaces.

(C) Jet boat engines previously certified in the same engine family with per sonal watercraft engines must be certified separately and to a unique engine family beginning in 2010

2012.

, if new, or All other jet boat engines, including repla cements for discontinued jet boat engine families, must be certified separately and to a unique engine family beginning in 2010 2012 otherwise

.

(D) The OBD

- M requirements in § 2444.2 would apply to new jet boat engine families in 2010 and to all j et boat engine

(A) T he base engine manufacturer has announced that it plans

to discontinue the base engine.

(B) Each marinizer may have a discontinuation allowance for only one engine family in effect at any time. As an alternative to the “one engine family” stipulation, manufacturers may petition the Executive Officer to allow a modified grouping of engines based on factors that logically link the engines to be discontinued including, but not necessarily limited to, the pre

- marinized base configuratio n of the engine s ( e

. g ., the same base engine offered in one family with fuel injection and another family with carburetion)

.

(C) The discontinuation allowance would allow the marinizing manufacturer to continue to certify the engine family to be

discontinued to emission levels that are less stringent than

the standards otherwise required for sterndrive/inboard engines in § 2442 (b) for a total of four model years

, provided that on a corporate average basis, the

manufacture r meets the required standards in § 24 42 (b)

.

(D) Manufacturers shall not c ertif y engine families to emission levels less stringent than those in effect for previous model year versions of the same or similar engine family

. F luctuations in certification levels from year to year due to
component variation would not violate this p rohibition unless- 24

- the fluctuations result in an exceedance of the standards to which the engine family was previously certified

.

(E) Manufacturers shall comply with all applicable OBD

- M and evaporative requirements in effect for:

1. any previously uncertified engine family certified for the

first time under paragraph (g) (2) of this section to emission levels that are less stringent than the standards otherwise required for sterndrive/inboard engines in § 2442 (b) ; and

discontinuation allowance provisions of this paragraph (g)(2)

.

(3) General Hardship Relief Provision

M anufacturers may petition the Executive Officer at any time to issue temporary relief from any of the requirements of this Article

th at would result in extreme financial or technical hardship to the

manufacturer . The Executive Officer shall consider the following in determining whether or not to grant the manufacturer’s request for

relief and the extent to which relief is provided :

(A) Th e manufacturer could not have reasonably anticipated the situation for which relief is requested and has substantiated

that the circumstances resulting in the hardship w ere beyond

its control to avert; and

(B) The manufacturer has exhausted a ll existing relie f provisions in trying to remedy the situation; and

(C) The manufacturer has proposed a n effective

, i mplementable

, and enforceable plan to make up for any emission benefits

that would be lost should the requested relief be provided.

(4) Executive Officer Discr etion for Technical Changes.

The Executive Officer may revise or incorporate specific technical requirements with respect to the test procedures incorporated at § 2441(a)(58) of these regulations. For the purposes of this subparagraph (4), “ technical requ irements ” include s revisions to test procedures, test methodology, or any requirement to enhance- 25

- alignment with similar federal regulations promulgated after the amendments to this Article 4.7, as noticed June 6, 2008, are adopted. Such t echnical requirem ents shall be electronically

noticed to listserv subscribers

, shall be made available to the public via appropriate ARB webpage postings , and shall be noticed in the California Regulatory Notice Register. Such technical requirements
