2008, No. 52 § 2701. Definitions. (a) The definitions in Section 1900(b), Chapter 1, Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations are incorporated by reference herein. The following definitions shall govern the provisions of this chapter: (1) "15 ppmw or less sulfur fuel" means diesel fuel witha sulfur content equal to or less than 15 parts per million by weight (ppmw). (2) "Alternative Diesel Fuel" means any fuel used in diesel engines that is not commonly or commercially known, sold or represented as diesel fuel No. 1- D orNo. 2-D, pursuant to the specifications in ASTM Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils D975-81, and does not require engine or fuel system modifications for the engine to operate, although minor modifications(e.g. recalibration of the engine fuel control) may enhance performance. Examples of alternative diesel fuels include, but are not limited to, biodiesel, Fischer Tropsch fuels, and emulsions of water in diesel fuel.Natural gas is not an alternative diesel fuel. An emission control strategy using a fuel additive will be treated as an alternative diesel fuel based strategy unless: (A) The additive is supplied to the vehicle or engine fuel by an on-board dosing mechanism, or (B) The additive is directly mixed into the base fuel inside the fuel tank of the vehicle or engine, or (C) The additive and base fuel are not mixed untilvehicle or engine fueling commences, and no more additive plus base fuel combination is mixed than required for a single fueling of a single engine or vehicle. (3) "Approach Light System with Sequenced Flasher Lights in Category 1 and Category 2 Configurations" (ALSF-1 and ALSF-2) mean high intensity approachlighting systems with sequenced flashers used at airports to illuminate specified runways during category IIor III weather conditions, where category II means a decision height of 100 feet and runway visual range of 1,200 feet, and category III means no decision height or decision height below 100 feet and runway visual range of 700 feet. (4) "Applicant" means the entity that has applied for or has been granted verification under this Procedure. (5) "Auxiliary Emission Control Device" (AECD)means any device or element of design that senses temperature, vehicle speed, engine revolutions per minute (RPM), transmission gear, manifold vacuum, or anyother parameter for the purpose of activating, modulating, delaying, or deactivating the operation of the emission control system. (6) "Average" means the arithmetic mean.(7) "Backpressure Monitor" means a device that includes a sensor for measuring the engine backpressure upstream of a hardware-based diesel emission control system or component thereof installed in the exhaust system and an indicator to notify the operator when the backpressure exceeds specified high and in some caseslow backpressure limits, as defined by the engine manufacturer or the applicant for verification of a diesel emission control strategy. (8) "Baseline" means the test of a vehicle or enginewithout the diesel emission control strategy implemented. (9) "Cold Start" means the start of an engine only after the engine oil and water temperatures are stabilized between 68 and 86 degrees F for a minimum of 15 minutes. 13 CA ADC § 2701 Page 1 13 CCR § 2701 Cal.

Works.(10) "Diesel emission control strategy" or "Diesel emission control system" means any device, system, or strategy employed with an in-use diesel vehicle or pieceof equipment that is intended to reduce emissions. Examples of diesel emission control strategies include, but are not limited to, particulate filters, diesel oxidationcatalysts, selective catalytic reduction systems, fuel additives used in combination with particulate filters, alternative diesel fuels, and combinations of the above. (11) "Diesel Emission Control Strategy Family Name." See Section 2706(g)(2).(12) "Diesel Engine" means an internal combustion engine with operating characteristics significantly similar to the theoretical diesel combustion cycle. The primarymeans of controlling power output in a diesel cycle engine is by limiting the amount of fuel that is injected into the combustion chambers of the engine. A dieselcycle engine may be petroleum-fueled (i.e., dieselfueled) or alternate-fueled. (13) "Durability" means the ability of the applicant's diesel emission control strategy to maintain a level of emissions below the baseline and maintain its physicalintegrity over some period of time or distance determined by the Executive Officer pursuant to these regulations. The minimum durability testing periods contained herein are not necessarily meant to represent the entireuseful life of the diesel emission control strategy in actual service. (14) "Emergency Standy Engine" means a diesel engine operated solely for emergency use, except as otherwise provided in airborne toxic control measures adopted by the ARB. (15) "Emergency Use" means using a diesel engine to provide electrical power or mechanical work during any of the following events and subject to the following conditions:(A) The failure or loss of all or part of normal electrical power service or normal natural gas supply to the facility,(B) The failure of a facility's internal power distribution system, (C) The pumping of flood water or sewage to prevent or mitigate a flood or sewage overflow,(D) The pumping of water for fire suppression or protection, (E) The powering of ALSF-1 and ALSF-2 airportrunway lights under category II or III weather conditions, (F) Other conditions as specified in airborne toxic control measures adopted by the ARB.(16) "Emission control group" means a set of diesel engines and applications determined by parameters that affect the performance of a particular diesel emission control strategy. The exact parameters depend on the nature of the diesel emission control strategy and mayinclude, but are not limited to, certification levels of engine emissions, combustion cycle, displacement, aspiration, horsepower rating, duty cycle, exhaust temperature profile, and fuel composition. Verification of a diesel emission control strategy and the extension of existing verifications are done on the basis of emission control groups. (17) "Executive Officer" means the Executive Officer ofthe Air Resources Board or the Executive Officer's designee. (18) "Executive Order" means the document signed by the Executive Officer that specifies the verificationlevel of a diesel emission control strategy for an emission control group and includes any enforceable conditions and requirements necessary to support the designated verification. (19) "Fuel Additive" means any substance designed to be added to fuel or fuel systems or other engine-relatedsystems such that it is present in-cylinder during combustion and has any of the following effects: decreasedemissions, improved fuel economy, increased performance of the entire vehicle or one of its component parts, or any combination thereof; or assists diesel emission control strategies in decreasing emissions, or improving 13 CA ADC § 2701 Page 2 13 CCR § 2701 Cal.

component part, or any combination thereof. Fuel additives used in conjunction with diesel fuel may be treated as an alternative diesel fuel. See Section 2701 (a)(2). (20) "Hot Start" means the start of an engine within four hours after the engine is last turned off. The first hot start test run should be initiated 20 minutes after the cold start for Federal Test Procedure testing following Section 86.1327-90 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 86

. (21) "Portable Engine" means an engine designed and capable of being carried or moved from one location toanother, except as defined in section 2701(a)(24). Engines used to propel mobile equipment of a motorvehicle of any kind are not portable. Indicators of portability include, but are not limited to, wheels, skids, carrying handles, dolly, trailer, or platform. A portable engine cannot remain at the same facility location for more than 12 consecutive rolling months or 365 rolling days, whichever occurs first, not including time spent in a storage facility. If it does remain at the facility for more than 12 months, it is considered to be a stationary engine. The definitions in Title 13 California Code of Regulations section 2452(g) and section 2452(x) are incorporated by reference herein. (22) "Regeneration", in the context of diesel particulate filters, means the periodic or continuous combustion ofcollected particulate matter that is trapped in a particulate filter through an active or passive mechanism. Active regeneration requires a source of heat other than theexhaust itself to regenerate the particulate filter. Examples of active regeneration strategies include, but are not limited to, the use of fuel burners and electrical heaters. Passive regeneration does not require a sourceof heat for regeneration other than the exhaust stream itself. Examples of passive regeneration strategies include, but are not limited to, the use of fuel additives and the catalyst-coated particulate filter. In the context of NOx reduction strategies, "regeneration" means the desorption and reduction of NOx from NOx adsorbers (or NOx traps) during rich operation conditions. (23) "Revoke" means to cancel the verification status of a diesel emission control strategy. If a diesel emission control strategy's verification status is revoked by the Executive Officer, the applicant must immediately cease and desist selling the diesel emission control strategy to end-users.(24) "Stationary Engine" means an engine that is designed to stay in one location, or remains in one location. An engine is stationary if any of the following are true: (A) The engine or its replacement is attached to a foundation, or if not so attached, will reside at the samelocation for more than 12 consecutive months. Any engine that replaces engine(s) at a location, and is intended to perform the same or similar function as the engine(s) being replaced, will be included in calculating the consecutive time period. In that case, the cumulativetime of all engine(s), including the time between the removal of the original engine(s) and installation of thereplacement engine(s), will be counted toward the consecutive time period; or (B) The engine remains or will reside at a location for less than 12 consecutive months if the engine is located at a seasonal source and operates during the full annualoperating period of the seasonal source, where a seasonal source is a stationary source that remains in a single location on a permanent basis (at least two years) and that operates at that single location at least three months each year; or (C) The engine is moved from one location to anotherin an attempt to circumvent the residence time requirements [Note: The period during which the engine is maintained at a storage facility shall be excluded from the residency time determination.] The definitions in Title 13 California Code of Regulations section 2452(g) and section 2452(x) are incorporated by reference herein.(25) "Verification" means a determination by the Executive Officer that a diesel emission control strategymeets the requirements of this Procedure. This determination is based on both data submitted or otherwiseknown to the Executive Officer and engineering judge13 CA ADC § 2701 Page 3 13 CCR § 2701 Cal. Admin. Code tit. 13, § 2701
