Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Model year 2001 and later model year spark-ignition personal watercraft and
				  outboard marine engines:
(1) Exhaust emissions
				  from new spark-ignition marine engines manufactured for sale, sold, or offered
				  for sale in California, or that are introduced, delivered or imported into
				  California for introduction into commerce must not exceed the hydrocarbon plus
				  oxides of nitrogen (HC+NOx) exhaust emission standards listed in Table 1.1 nor
				  the carbon monoxide (CO) exhaust emission standards listed in Table 1.2 during
				  its designated useful life:

1. For 2010 and subsequent model years,

							 otherwise maximum rated power may be used.
2. For 2010 and subsequent model years,
							 standards are measured in total hydrocarbons plus oxides of nitrogen.

b Abbreviation

c P is defined
							 as maximum rated power or maximum engine power (see footnote a) in kilowatts
							 (kW)
where:
Ptx is the average power in
					 kilowatts (kW) (sales-weighted) of the total number of spark-ignition marine
					 engines produced for sale in California in model year x. Engine power must be
					 calculated using the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard J1228,
					 November 1991, incorporated herein by reference. Engine manufacturers must not
					 determine Ptx by combining the power outputs of outboard
					 engines with the power outputs of personal watercraft engines.
(2) An engine manufacturer may comply with
				  the standards directly on an individual engine family basis. Consequently in
				  Table 1.1, FELs are not applicable for any model year and
				  Ptx means the average power in kW (sales-weighted) of
				  the subject engine family produced for sale in California in model year x.
Compliance with the HC+NOx standards
					 on a corporate average basis is determined as follows:

FELjx
=
The
							 Family Emission Limit (FEL) for engine family j in model year x, which must be
							 determined by the engine manufacturer subject to the following conditions: (1)
							 no individual engine family FEL shall exceed the maximum allowed value as
							 specified in Table 1.1; (2) no engine family designation or FEL shall be
							 amended in a model year unless the engine family is recertified; and (3) prior
							 to sale or offering for sale in California, each engine family must be
							 certified in accordance with the test procedures referenced in section
							 2447 and must meet the engine
							 manufacturer's FEL as a condition of the Executive Order. Before certification,
							 the engine manufacturer must also submit estimated production volumes for each
							 engine family to be offered for sale in California.

The

							 J1228, November 1991, incorporated herein by reference.
STDca
=
An
							 engine manufacturer's calculated corporate average
							 HC+NOx exhaust emissions from those California
							 spark-ignition marine engines subject to the California corporate average
							 HC+NOx exhaust emission standard determined from Table 1.1, as established by
							 an Executive Order certifying the California production for the model year.
							 This Executive Order must be obtained prior to the issuance of certification
							 Executive Orders for individual engine families for the model year.
(A) For
				  purposes of compliance under this paragraph, engine manufacturers must not
				  corporate average outboard engine families in combination with personal
				  watercraft engine families.
(B)
				  During the engine manufacturer's production year, for each engine family, the
				  engine manufacturer shall provide the Executive Officer within 45 days after
				  the last day in each calendar quarter the total number of spark-ignition marine
				  engines produced for sale in California and their applicable FEL(s).
(C) The Executive Order certifying the
				  California production for a model year must be obtained prior to the issuance
				  of certification Executive Orders for individual engine families for the model
				  year.
(D) The engine manufacturer's
				  average HC+NOx exhaust emissions must meet the corporate average standard at
				  the end of the engine manufacturer's production for the model year. At the end
				  of the model year, the manufacturer must calculate a corrected corporate
				  average using sales or eligible sales rather than projected sales.
(E) Production and sale of spark-ignition
				  marine engines that result in noncompliance with the California standard for
				  the model year shall cause an engine manufacturer to be subject to: revocation
				  or suspension of Executive Orders for the applicable engine families;
				  enjoinment from any further sales, or distribution, of such noncompliant engine
				  families, in the State of California pursuant to section
				  43017
				  of the Health and Safety Code; and all other remedies available under Part 5,
				  Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code. Before seeking remedial action
				  against the engine manufacturer, the Executive Officer will consider any
				  information provided by the equipment manufacturer.
(F) For each model, the engine manufacturer
				  shall submit California sales data ninety (90) days after the end of the model
				  year.
