ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 89 and 90

[FRL-5502-6]


Reduced Certification Reporting Requirements for New Nonroad 
Engines

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Today's action proposes to revise certification requirements 
for new nonroad spark-ignition engines at or below 19 kilowatts (60 FR 
34582), and new nonroad compression-ignition engines at or above 37 
kilowatts (59 FR 31306), by reducing the reporting burden associated 
with the application for certification.
    In the final rule section of today's Federal Register, EPA is 
issuing these revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because EPA views the action as noncontroversial and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the revisions is set forth 
in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in 
response to that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated 
in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse public 
comment on any of the specific issues identified in the direct final 
rule, EPA will publish one action withdrawing the provisions of the 
final action corresponding to that specific issue, and all adverse 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested on commenting on this 
action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 7, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted (in duplicate, if 
possible) to: EPA Air and Radiation Docket, Attention Docket No. A-95-
57, room M-1500 (mail code 6102), 401 M St., S.W., Washington, D.C. 
20460. The docket may be inspected at this location from 8:30 a.m. 
until 5:30 p.m. weekdays. The docket may also be reached by telephone 
at [phone]. As provided in 40 CFR part 2, a reasonable fee may 
be charged by EPA for photocopying.
