Mark,
Attached
is
an
updated
draft
of
part
91
that
reflects
your
comments
on
the
equations.
I
confirmed
most
of
the
corrections,
but
wanted
to
make
sure
you
agreed
with
my
syntax.
I
am
starting
with
the
unformatted
version
of
presenting
the
equations.
I
may
get
to
the
fancier
version
with
the
equation
editor
before
we
are
all
done.

Three
things
are
noteworthy:
­
For
the
"
finished
calculation
you
suggest
for
91.325,
I
would
most
like
to
go
with
the
approach
adopted
in
89.318.
If
you
could
confirm
that
or
identify
the
reasons
for
any
adjustments,
I
can
process
that.
If
you
have
broader
concerns,
I'll
need
to
get
some
input
from
someone
who
understands
these
things
better
than
I
do.
­
While
the
test
cycle
clear
departs
from
the
ISO
cycle,
the
slight
correction
you
recommend
would
change
the
fundamental
test
procedure,
which
arguably
affects
the
stringency
of
the
standard.
We
may
want
to
propose
this
change
in
our
upcoming
NPRM,
but
I
don't
think
our
attorneys
will
approve
of
this
post­
NPRM
change
in
this
rule.
Let
me
know
what
you
recommend.
­
You
should
take
special
care
in
checking
the
S(
t)
equation,
since
it
looks
like
I
read
the
CFR
differently
than
you
did.
This
is
another
case
of
me
not
knowing
the
background
on
this
one,
so
let
me
know
if
this
is
wrong
and
I'll
work
it
with
the
experts.

We
will
be
talking
over
the
rest
of
your
comments
shortly,
so
there
may
be
further
changes
to
part
91
before
we're
all
done.
This
isn't
intended
to
prejudge
Let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions.

The
authority
citation
for

is
revised
to

as
follows:

2.
Section
91.3
is
amended
by
revising
the
definitions
for
"
Marine
spark­
ignition
engine",
"
Marine
vessel",
and
"
United
States",
adding
definitions
for
"
Amphibious
vehicle",
"
Marine
engine",
and
"
Spark­
ignition"
in
alphabetical
order
to
read
as
follows:
§
91.3
Definitions.
*
*
*
*
*
Amphibious
vehicle
means
a
vehicle
with
wheels
or
tracks
that
is
designed
primarily
for
operation
on
land
and
secondarily
for
operation
in
water.
*
*
*
*
*
Marine
engine
means
a
nonroad
engine
that
is
installed
or
intended
to
be
installed
on
a
marine
vessel.
This
includes
a
portable
auxiliary
marine
engine
only
if
its
fueling,
cooling,
or
exhaust
system
is
an
integral
part
of
the
vessel.
There
are
two
kinds
of
marine
engines:
(
1)
Propulsion
marine
engine
means
a
marine
engine
that
moves
a
vessel
through
the
water
or
directs
the
vessel's
movement.
(
2)
Auxiliary
marine
engine
means
a
marine
engine
not
used
for
propulsion.
Marine
spark­
ignition
engine
means
a
spark­
ignition
marine
engine
that
propels
a
marine
vessel.
*
*
*
*
*
Marine
vessel
has
the
meaning
given
in
1
U.
S.
C.
3,
except
that
it
does
not
include
amphibious
vehicles.
The
definition
in
1
U.
S.
C.
3
very
broadly
includes
every
craft
capable
of
being
used
as
a
means
of
transportation
on
water.
*
*
*
*
*
Spark­
ignition
means
relating
to
a
gasoline­
fueled
engine
or
any
other
type
of
engine
with
a
spark
plug
(
or
other
sparking
device)
and
with
operating
characteristics
significantly
similar
to
the
theoretical
Otto
combustion
cycle.
Spark­
ignition
engines
usually
use
a
throttle
to
regulate
intake
air
flow
to
control
power
during
normal
operation.
*
*
*
*
*
United
States
means
the
States,
the
District
of
Columbia,
the
Commonwealth
of
Puerto
Rico,
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Northern
Mariana
Islands,
Guam,
American
Samoa,
and
the
U.
S.
Virgin
Islands.

Administrative
penalty
authority.
In
lieu
of
commencing
a
civil
action
under
paragraph
(
b)
of
this
section,
the
Administrator
shall
assess
any
civil
penalty
prescribed
in
paragraph
(

of
this
section,
except
that
the
maximum
amount
of
penalty
sought
against
each
violator
in

assessment
proceeding
can
not
exceed
$
270,000,
unless
the
Administrator
and
the
Attorney
General
jointly
determine
that
a
matter
involving
a
larger
penalty
amount
is
appropriate
for
administrative
penalty
assessment.
Any
such
determination
by
the
Administrator
and
the
Attorney
General
is
not
subject
to
judicial
review.
Assessment
of
a
civil
penalty
is
made
by

record
after
opportunity
for
a
hearing
held
in
accordance
with
the
procedures
found

The
Administrator
may
compromise,

any
administrative
penalty
which
may
be
imposed
under
this
section.
