RE:
redrafted
tech
amendments
Alan:

If
we
could
get
this
included
in
these
technical
amendments
it
would
be
a
great
help.
Our
engine
manufacturing
people
tell
us
it
can
be
a
marketing
nightmare.
A
new
boat
might
have
an
engine
that
has
an
EPA
label
that
says
it
last
years
engine.
The
engines
don't
have
model
years
like
boats
and
cars,
so
they
do
not
line
up
with
the
boat
model
years.

At
the
boat
show
you
might
see
a
2005
Grady
White
that
has
a
label
that
says
it
has
an
EPA
model
year
2004
engine.
The
consumer
wants
a
2005
engine
on
his
new
2005
boat.
In
reality
it
is
a
new
engine,
it's
the
EPA
label
that
causes
the
problem.

We
will
still
have
the
date
of
birth
on
the
manufacturers
tag
and
state
that
the
engine
meets
EPA
requirements,
just
not
the
"
model
year"

RE:

John,
We're
still
thinking
about
that
one,
so
I
didn't
want
to
presume
a
resolution
yet.
I'll
try
to
get
a
clearer
answer
soon
and
let
you
know
how
things
stand.

Thanks.
I
noticed
that
there
was
no
proposed
change
to
91.113
(
e)
model
year
elimination.
We
were
hoping
to
get
this
fixed
during
these
technical
amendments.
We
spoke
to
the
certification
group
last
May
regarding
this
change
and
they
didn't
object.

It
creates
problems
for
our
OB
manufacturers
that
sell
engines
to
boat
builders.
Are
you
aware
of
the
problem?

redrafted
tech
amendments
John,
We
have
prepared
a
new
version
of
draft
regulatory
language
for
the
tech
amendments
for
public
review.
The
link
below
connects
you
to
the
appropriate
electronic
docket.
The
new
file
is
listed
under
document
#
58.

This
file
contains
a
redline
version
of
the
regulatory
text
for
our
tech
amendments,
showing
what
has
changed
since
the
proposal.
We
are
preparing
the
package
for
going
final
over
the
next
few
months,
but
we
wanted
to
give
everyone
a
chance
to
see
the
writeup
one
more
time.
There
is
no
comment
period
associated
with
this
notice;
however,
if
you
feel
you
need
to
follow
up,
you
can
contact
us
to
communicate
any
remaining
concerns
you
might
have.

Alan
