Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a) If a TRU engine is being rebuilt to
remain in compliance with the in-use standards of section
2477.5(c), it
must be rebuilt in accordance with the 40 CFR, sections 89.130 and
1068.120, and 13 CCR, section
13 CCR,
section 2423 (l), as these
sections existed on August 31, 2012, and shall meet the following requirements:
(1) To remain in compliance with the in-use
performance standards, the engine must be rebuilt to a configuration of a more
stringent emissions standard tier than the original engine;
(2) The engine must be rebuilt to a certified
configuration of matched components. "Matched components" means a complete set
of components corresponding to the certified emissions configuration (tier) of
the engine that is being used as the reference for the rebuilt
engine.
(b) Beginning
November 14, 2012, engine rebuilders shall provide a supplemental label with
each rebuilt engine that includes the following information:
(1) Name of the engine rebuilder;
(2) Engine manufacturer of the original
engine
(3) Engine model;
(4) Engine model year:
(A) Prior tier engines. If the rebuilt engine
meets a prior-tier emissions standard, then the effective model year is
required;
(B) Current tier engines.
It the rebuilt engine meets the tier standard that is currently in effect, then
the model year is the year that the rebuild is completed.
(5) Horsepower rating of the certified
configuration of the rebuilt engine;
(6) Emissions standard tier met by the
certified configuration (e.g., Tier 4i); and
(7) Calendar year that the rebuild was
completed.
(c)
Supplemental labels shall be permanently affixed to the rebuilt engine in an
easily accessible place, in accordance with 40 CFR, section 89.110 (for Tier 1
or Tier 2) or 40 CFR,
section 1039.135 (for Tier 4). Alternative
supplemental label locations and font sizes may be necessary if surface space
is not available, subject to Executive Officer approval.
(d) Beginning January 13, 2013, engine
rebuilders shall provide the following documentation, within 30 days of
request, that demonstrates they have complied with the engine rebuilding
practices of 40 CFR, sections 89.130 and
1068.120, and 13 CCR, section
13 CCR,
section 2423 (l):
(1) Information that demonstrates there is a
reasonable technical basis for knowing that the rebuilt engine is equivalent,
from an emissions standpoint, to an engine that complies with the certification
standards applicable to the emissions tier standard of the rebuilt engine
(i.e., tolerances, calibrations, specifications). Such equivalency would exist
if the following two conditions are met:
(A)
Parts installed (whether the parts are new, used, or rebuilt) are such that a
person familiar with the design and function of engines would reasonably
believe that the parts perform the same function with respect to emission
control as the original parts; and
(B) Any parameter adjustment or design
element change is made only in accordance with the original engine
manufacturer's instructions or where data or other reasonable technical basis
exists that such parameter adjustment or design element change, when performed
on the rebuilt engine, is not expected to adversely affect in-use
emissions.
(2) The
technical demonstration must be signed and stamped by a licensed professional
mechanical engineer.
(e)
Beginning February 12, 2013, engine rebuilders shall provide a registration
information document with the rebuilt engine that includes:
(1) All of the TRU or TRU gen set engine
information needed to report to CARB pursuant to subparagraph 2477.20(f)(7)
except that engine family may be omitted for rebuilt engines. This information
must be the same as the information on the rebuilt engine's re-label and
supplemental emissions label that is attached to the engine. The registration
information document would include a certification statement by the engine
rebuilder, or third party installer stating that the engine information
provided is exactly the same as listed on the engine emissions label.
(2) A separate section of the registration
information document shall include entry spaces for all of the TRU or TRU gen
set unit information that is required to report the unit to CARB pursuant to
subparagraphs 2477.20(f)(4) and (5). The registration information document
would include a certification statement, with a signature space for the third
party installer, stating that the unit information provided is exactly the same
as listed on the unit label.
