Title: Heavy-Duty GHG On-Highway and Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Regulation Streamlining and Technical Amendments 
Abstract: This direct final rule consists of: joint EPA/NHTSA amendments and amendments that are unique to the rules of one or the other agency to the Medium- and Heavy-Duty Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Fuel Efficiency regulations issued on September 15, 2011, and EPA-exclusive amendments related to other EPA mobile source regulations. EPA and NHTSA are each adopting amendments to eliminate duplicative reporting requirements, reduce inadvertent minor differences between the EPA and NHTSA programs regarding such matters as voluntary early model year compliance, align testing procedures to market realities, and reduce unnecessary testing burdens. EPA is also adopting amendments including the engine replacement compliance provisions, technical hardship provisions related to emission standards for nonroad diesel engines, fuel line permeation test procedures for large spark ignition engines, and other nonroad spark-ignition engine amendments. This rule will assist regulated parties with complying with requirements by clarifying those requirements. This action is not expected to result in significant changes in regulatory burdens or costs.
