        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Emissions From Nonroad Spark-Ignition Engines and Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this rulemaking, EPA is promulgating exhaust emission standards for new nonroad spark-ignition engines that will substantially reduce emissions from these engines. The standards would apply starting in 2009 for new marine spark-ignition engines, including first-time EPA standards for sterndrive and inboard engines. The standards would apply starting in 2011 and 2012 for different sizes of new land-based, spark-ignition engines at or below 19 kilowatts (kW), which is equivalent to about 25 horsepower. These small engines are used primarily in lawn and garden applications. We are also promulgating evaporative emission standards for vessels and equipment using any of these engines. Nationwide, these emission sources contribute to ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) nonattainment.

We estimate that by 2030, this rule would result in significantly reduced pollutant emissions from regulated engine and equipment sources, including estimated annual nationwide reductions of 631,000 tons of volatile organic hydrocarbon emissions, 98,200 tons of NOx emissions, and 6,300 tons of direct particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. These reductions correspond to significant reductions in the formation of ground-level ozone. We would also expect to see annual reductions of 2,690,000 tons of carbon monoxide emissions, with the greatest reductions in areas where there have been problems with individual exposures. The requirements in this rule will substantially benefit public health and welfare and the environment. We estimate that by 2030, the rule's emission reductions would annually prevent 450 PM-related premature deaths, approximately 500 hospitalizations, and 52,000 work days lost. The total estimated annual benefits of the rule in 2030 would be $3.4 billion. Estimated costs in 2030 would be many times less at $240 million.]]></ABSTRACT>
