40 CFR Part 86

[FRL-6523-7]

Amendments to the Test Procedures for Heavy-Duty Engines, and
Light-Duty Vehicles and Trucks and Amendments to the Emission Standard
Provisions for Gaseous Fueled Vehicles and Engines

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On September 5, 1997 EPA promulgated a direct final rulemaking
that amended several sections of the heavy-duty engine test procedure
regulations. EPA also published a notice of proposed rulemaking
proposing the same amendments. EPA noted that if adverse comments were
received regarding any provisions, EPA would withdraw those provisions
and comments would be addressed in a later final rule based on the
proposed rule. Due to adverse comments that were received regarding
three provisions, EPA issued a final rule on May 4, 1998 withdrawing
those three provisions and indicated that they would be addressed in a
separate action. Today, EPA is finalizing those three provisions with
amendments, after taking into consideration comments received during
the comment period and further discussions with heavy-duty engine and
light-duty vehicle manufacturers.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Materials relevant to this rulemaking are contained in
Docket No. A-96-07, and are available for public inspection and
photocopying between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. EPA
may charge a reasonable fee for copying docket materials.

I. Regulatory Revisions

On September 5, 1997, EPA published a direct final rule (62 FR
47114) and accompanying notice of proposed rule (62 FR 46937) making
amendments to the test procedures for heavy-duty engines and light duty
vehicles and trucks. Although EPA believed that the action was non-
controversial, adverse comments were received from the Engine
Manufacturers Association (EMA) and from the American Automobile
Manufacturers Association (AAMA). As a result of receiving the adverse
comments, EPA published a final rule (63 FR 24446) on May 4, 1998 that
withdrew the three provisions on which adverse comments were received.
After taking into consideration EMA and AAMA's comments and also
discussing the issues and options, today's action addresses the three
provisions. The paragraphs below describe the comments received for
each issue, followed by EPA's response.

a. Cycle Verification at Idle Conditions

Both of the comments received by EPA referred to changes made to
Sec. 86.1333-90. In Sec. 86.1333-90 EPA provided a new requirement for
cycle verification at idle conditions. The new requirement stated that
for idle segments that are seven seconds or longer, the average
feedback torque must fall within 10 ft-lb of the Curb Idle
Transmission Torque (CITT). Both EMA and AAMA commented that current
dynamometer systems utilized might not be capable of controlling torque
to this specification and thus the time period might have to be
lengthened or modifications made to dynamometer control systems. Both
EMA and AAMA recommended to change the idle segment specification from
seven to ten seconds. According to EMA and AAMA, such change would not
impact emissions and would allow manufacturers to comply with the CITT
requirements without having to make extensive modifications to engine
dynamometers control systems.
EPA agrees that making modifications to engine dynamometer systems
to meet the proposed CITT requirements would be not only burdensome but
also very costly. Furthermore, EPA agrees that increasing the idle
segment length specification from seven to ten seconds will not impact
emissions. Thus, EPA agrees with EMA and AAMA's recommendation and the
final rule will apply the CITT requirement to segments of ten seconds
or longer.

b. Critical Flow Venturi

In the September 5, 1997 final rule (62 FR 47114) EPA revised
sections 86.119-90, 86.1319-84 and 86.1319-90 to require manufacturers
to verify that the critical flow venturi is achieving critical flow
when using a CFV-CVS sampling system during the emissions test. Both
EMA and AAMA commented that, even though they agree with the technical
merits of such requirement, more lead time would be needed to make the
software and hardware changes necessary. Thus EMA and AAMA recommended
that, in order to provide sufficient time for the implementation of
this new requirement, that EPA provides an 18 month lead time.
EPA recognizes that this new requirement will require software
changes to current testing facilities and that more lead time would be
needed to ensure that all the manufacturer's testing facilities comply
at the same

[[Page 8276]]

time. Thus, EPA will not require that this provision be met until
August 20, 2001 to allow manufacturers to make the software and
hardware changes needed for compliance. EPA is not finalizing the
change to Sec. 86.1319-84 because this section is not applicable to
future model years.

c. Light-duty Diesel Cetane Number Specifications

On August 21, 1990 (55 FR 34120), EPA promulgated a final rule that
established new requirements related to the quality of diesel fuel. As
part of that rule EPA changed the cetane number specification to 40-48
and established a cetane index specification of 40-48. In the 1994
Gaseous Fuels Rule (59 FR 48472), modifications to the section
specifying certification fuel parameters for light-duty vehicles and
trucks resulted in inadvertent changes to the cetane number
specifications from 40-48 to 42-50. In the September 5, 1997 notice,
EPA proposed to correct the light-duty diesel fuel cetane
specifications contained in section 86.113-94. In its comments, AAMA
expressed concern that proposed correction would not provide sufficient
lead time for manufacturers to comply. In addition, they stated that
since diesel hydrocarbon emissions are sensitive to cetane levels,
changing the cetane level of the test fuel could cause in-use
compliance issues in the future. EMA and AAMA recommended EPA to keep
the current 42-50 cetane specification for light-duty certification
fuel.
EPA continues to believe that the current cetane number
specification of 42-50 is not correct since it does not include fuels
with cetane numbers/indices in the range of 40 to 42. Such fuels
represent a significant portion of in-use fuels, and should be included
as potential test fuels. EPA believes that it is necessary to change
the specifications to include this lower range. However, EPA has
analyzed the most recently available data for in-use fuels and has
determined that fuels with cetane numbers/indices in the range of 48 to
50 are also representative of in-use fuels. As a result, EPA is
finalizing a broad specification that includes both fuels with cetane
numbers/indices in the range of 40 to 42 and fuels with cetane numbers/
indices in the range of 48 to 50. EPA is applying this broad
specification to both light-duty and heavy-duty fuels.

II. Administrative Designation and Regulatory Analysis

Under Executive Order 12866, the Agency must determine whether this
regulatory action is ``significant and therefore subject to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) review and the requirements of the
Executive Order. The Order defines ``significant'' regulatory action as
one that is likely to result in a rule that may:
(1) have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, local or tribal governments or communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
Pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 12866, EPA has determined
that this action is not a ``significant'' regulatory action within the
meaning of the Executive Order an is therefore not subject to OMB
review.

III. Regulatory Flexibility

EPA has determined that it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis in connection with this final rule. In support of
its proposed rule entitled Control of Emissions of Air Pollution from
Highway Heavy-Duty Engines (61 FR 33421, June 27, 1996), EPA
characterized the heavy-duty engine manufacturing industry in Chapter 3
of its Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA). Based on that
characterization, EPA has determined that this action will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.

IV. Unfunded Mandates

Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA
must prepare a written statement to accompany any rule where the
estimated costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the
private sector will be $100 million or more in any one year. Under
section 205, EPA must select the most cost-effective and least
burdensome alternative that achieves the objective of the rule and that
is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to
establish a plan for informing and advising any small governments that
may be significantly and uniquely impacted by the rule. EPA has
determined that the costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or
the private sector, from this rule will be less than $100 million.

V. Paperwork Reduction Act

The technical amendments promulgated by this action do not create
or change the information collection burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information
collection requirements already contained in all the Part 86 sections
amended by this action and has assigned OMB control numbers 2060-0104
and 2060-0064.

VI. Submission to Congress and the General Accounting Office

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a report which includes a copy of the rule, to
each House of Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United
States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives and the Comptroller General of the General Accounting
Office prior to publication of this rule in the Federal Register. This
rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

VII. Federalism

Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
Under Section 6 of Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue a
regulation that has federalism implications, that imposes substantial
direct compliance costs, and that is not required by statute, unless
the Federal government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct
compliance costs incurred by State and local governments, or EPA
consults with State and local officials early in the process of
developing the proposed regulation. EPA also may not issue a regulation
that has federalism

[[Page 8277]]

implications and that preempts State law, unless the Agency consults
with State and local officials early in the process of developing the
proposed regulation.
This final rule does not have federalism implications. It will not
have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government,
as specified in Executive Order 13132. This rule only revises the
emissions testing requirements that are part of EPA's existing
regulation of new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines and only
affects the manufacturers of such vehicles and engines. Thus, the
requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order do not apply to this
rule.

VIII. Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

Under Executive Order 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is
not required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the
communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial
direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance
costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA consults with those
governments. If EPA complies by consulting, Executive Order 13084
requires EPA to provide to the Office of Management and Budget, in a
separately identified section of the preamble to the rule, a
description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation with
representatives of affected tribal governments, a summary of the nature
of their concerns, and a statement supporting the need to issue the
regulation. In addition, Executive Order 13084 requires EPA to develop
an effective process permitting elected officials and other
representatives of Indian tribal governments ``to provide meaningful
and timely input in the development of regulatory policies on matters
that significantly or uniquely affect their communities.''
Today's rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of Indian tribal governments. Accordingly, the requirements
of section 3(b) of Executive Order 13084 do not apply to this rule.

IX. Protection of Children

Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62FR19885, April 23,
1997) applies to any rule that: (1) is determined to be ``economically
significant'' as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns
an environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe
may have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory
action meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental
health or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain
why the planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective
and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that
the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Order has the
potential to influence the regulation. This rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an environmental
standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.

X. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law. 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C.
272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless doing so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA
to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides
not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
EPA has continued to incorporate ASTM test methods in this rule.
EPA is not aware of any voluntary consensus standards which are
inconsistent with the regulations promulgated in this rule.

device, the zero percent speed specified in the engine dynamometer
schedules (appendix I (f)(1), (f)(2), or (f)(3) to this part) does not
apply. The idle speed shall be the speed that results from the proper
operation of the engine's idle speed enhancement device.
(1) During idle speed enhancement device operation, a manual
transmission engine shall be allowed to idle at whatever speed is
required to target a feedback torque equal to zero (using, for example,
clutch disengagement, speed to torque control switching, software
overrides, etc.) at those points in appendix I(f)(1), (f)(2), or (f)(3)
to this part where both reference speed and reference torque are zero
percent values. For each idle segment that is ten

[[Page 8280]]

seconds or longer, the average feedback torque must be within
10 ft-lbs of zero. To allow for transition, up to the first
four seconds may be deleted from each idle segment calculation.
(2) During idle speed enhancement device operation, an automatic
transmission engine shall be allowed to idle at whatever speed is
required to target a feedback torque equal to CITT (see paragraph
(e)(2) of this section for definition of CITT) at those points in
appendix I(f)(1), (f)(2), or (f)(3) to this part where both reference
speed and reference torque are zero percent values. For each idle
segment that is ten seconds or longer, the average feedback torque must
be within 10 ft-lbs of CITT. To allow for transition, up to
the first four seconds may be deleted from each idle segment
calculation.
