§1054.1 Does this part apply for my engines and equipment?
(a) Except as provided in §1054.5 , the regulations in this part 1054 apply as follows:
(1) The requirements of this part related to exhaust emissions apply to new, nonroad spark-ignition engines with maximum engine power at or below 19 kW. This includes auxiliary marine spark-ignition engines.
(2) The requirements of this part related to evaporative emissions apply as specified in §§1054.110 and 1054.112 to fuel systems used with engines subject to exhaust emission standards in this part if the engines use a volatile liquid fuel (such as gasoline).
(3) This part 1054 applies starting with the model years noted in the following table:
Engine type | Engine displacement | Model year |
---|---|---|
Handheld | all | 2010 |
Nonhandheld | displacement <225 cc | 2012 |
Nonhandheld | displacement ≥225 cc | 2011 |
(4) This part 1054 applies for other spark-ignition engines as follows:
(i) The provisions of §§1054.620 and 1054.801 apply for new engines used solely for competition beginning January 1, 2010.
(ii) The provisions of §§1054.660 and 1054.801 apply for new engines used in emergency rescue equipment beginning January 1, 2010.
(5) We specify provisions in §§1054.145(f) and 1054.740 that allow for meeting the requirements of this part before the dates shown in Table 1 to this section. Engines, fuel-system components, or equipment certified to the standards in §§1054.145(f) and 1054.740 are subject to all the requirements of this part as if these optional standards were mandatory.
(b) Although the definition of nonroad engine in 40 CFR 1068.30 excludes certain engines used in stationary applications, stationary engines are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ, to comply with this part starting with the model years shown in Table 1 to this section.
(c) Engines originally meeting Phase 1 or Phase 2 standards as specified in appendix I of this part remain subject to those standards. Those engines remain subject to recall provisions as specified in 40 CFR part 1068, subpart F , throughout the useful life corresponding to the original certification. Also, tampering and defeat-device prohibitions continue to apply for those engines as specified in 40 CFR 1068.101 .
(d) The regulations in this part optionally apply to engines with maximum engine power at or below 30 kW and with displacement at or below 1,000 cubic centimeters that would otherwise be covered by 40 CFR part 1048 . See 40 CFR 1048.615 for provisions related to this allowance.
(e) In certain cases, the regulations in this part 1054 apply to propulsion marine engines that would otherwise be covered by 40 CFR part 1045. See 40 CFR 1045.610 for provisions related to these allowances.
[73 FR 59259, Oct. 8, 2008, as amended at 75 FR 23024, Apr. 30, 2010; 86 FR 34516, Jun. 29, 2021]
§1054.2 Who is responsible for compliance?
(a) The requirements and prohibitions of this part apply to manufacturers of engines and equipment, as described in §1054.1. The requirements of this part are generally addressed to manufacturers subject to this part's requirements. The term “you” generally means the certifying manufacturer. For provisions related to exhaust emissions, this generally means the engine manufacturer, especially for issues related to certification (including production-line testing, reporting, etc.). For provisions related to certification with respect to evaporative emissions, this generally means the equipment manufacturer. Note that for engines that become new after being placed into service (such as engines converted from highway or stationary use), the requirements that normally apply for manufacturers of freshly manufactured engines apply to the importer or any other entity we allow to obtain a certificate of conformity.
(b) Equipment manufacturers must meet applicable requirements as described in §1054.20. Engine manufacturers that assemble an engine's complete fuel system are considered to be the equipment manufacturer with respect to evaporative emissions (see 40 CFR 1060.5). Note that certification requirements for component manufacturers are described in 40 CFR part 1060.
[86 FR 34516, Jun. 29, 2021]
§1054.5 Which nonroad engines are excluded from this part's requirements?
This part does not apply to the following nonroad engines:
(a) Engines that are certified to meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 1051 (for example, engines used in snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles). Engines that are otherwise subject to 40 CFR part 1051 but not required to be certified (such as engines exempted under 40 CFR part 1051) are also excluded from this part 1054, unless the regulations in 40 CFR part 1051 specifically require them to comply with the requirements of this part 1054.
(b) Engines that are certified to meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 1048, subject to the provisions of §1054.615.
(c) Propulsion marine engines. See 40 CFR parts 91 and 1045. Note that the evaporative emission standards of this part also do not apply with respect to auxiliary marine engines as described in §1054.20.
(d) Engines used in reduced-scale models of vehicles that are not capable of transporting a person.
§1054.10 How is this part organized?
This part 1054 is divided into the following subparts:
(a) Subpart A of this part defines the applicability of this part 1054 and gives an overview of regulatory requirements.
(b) Subpart B of this part describes the emission standards and other requirements that must be met to certify engines under this part. Note that §1054.145 discusses certain interim requirements and compliance provisions that apply only for a limited time.
(c) Subpart C of this part describes how to apply for a certificate of conformity.
(d) Subpart D of this part describes general provisions for testing production-line engines.

(e) You must follow all emission-related installation instructions from the certifying manufacturers as described in §1054.130, 40 CFR 1060.130, and 40 CFR 1068.105. Failure to follow these instructions subjects you to civil penalties as described in 40 CFR part 1068, subpart B.
(f) Motor vehicles and marine vessels may contain engines subject to the exhaust emission standards in this part 1054. Evaporative emission standards apply to these products as follows:
(1) Marine vessels using spark-ignition engines are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 1045. The vessels are not required to comply with the evaporative emission standards and related requirements of this part 1054.
(2) Motor vehicles are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 86. They are not required to comply with the evaporative emission standards and related requirements of this part 1054.
