Title: ●Nonconformance Penalties for On-Highway Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines
Abstract: This rulemaking will establish nonconformance penalties (NCPs) for heavy-duty motor vehicle engines subject to the nitrogen oxide (NOx) standards in 40 CFR 86.007-11. As specified in section 206(g) of the Clean Air Act, the regulations would allow manufacturers paying the NCP to certify engines with NOx emissions above the applicable standard. The regulations establishing NCPs were originally adopted in 1985 and have been amended five times since to include new emission standards. This rule will allow for NCPs to apply for NOx emissions standards for model year 2012 and later engines. EPA has established per engine penalties up to $3, 775 for emission rates between 0.20 and 0.50 g/hp-hr NOx for 2012 model year heavy-duty engines. The maximum penalties will increase by several hundred dollars per engine each year for later model years.
