Title: Control of Emissions of Air Pollution From Snowmobiles 
Abstract: We adopted three phases of snowmobile emission standards in 2002. A lawsuit resulted in a court order to eliminate the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) portion of the Phase 3 Standards on the grounds that we had no authority under the Clean Air Act to adopt NOx standards for snowmobiles. We were also directed to reconsider the hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) portions of the Phase 3 standards. In this Direct Final Rule, we intend to eliminate the Phase 3 NOx standard as directed by the court, but defer action on the HC and CO standards to a separate effort.
