The USA Federal Clean Air Act

The USA Federal Clean Air Act
The Federal Clean Air Act Section 203.a (3) prohibits the removal
of air pollution control devices or the modification of an EPA-
certified non-road engine to a non certified configuration.
The Federal regulations implementing the Clean Air Act for non-
road engines, 40 CFR 89.1003(a)(3)(i), reads as follows:
The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited:
For a person to remove or render inoperative a device or element
of design installed on or in a non-road engine vehicle or equipment
in compliance with the regulations under this part prior to its sale
and delivery to the ultimate purchaser or for a person knowingly to
remove or render inoperative such a device or element of design
after the sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser.
The law provides a penalty of up to $2,750 for each violation.
An example of a prohibited modification is the recalibration of the
fuel system so that the engine will exceed the certified horsepower
or torque.
You should not make a change to an EPA-certified non-road
engine that would result in an engine that does not match the
engine configuration certified to meet the Federal Standards.
