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-certi-
fied non-road engine to a non-certified configuration.
The Federal regulations implementing the Clean Air Act for non-
road engines, 40 C.F.R.Section 89.1003(a)(3)(i), reads as follows:
The following act and the causing thereof are prohibited:
For a person to remove or render inoperative a device or ele-
ment of design installed on or in a non-road engine vehicle or
equipment in compliance with regulations under this part pri-
or to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser or for a
person knowingly to remove or render inoperative such a de-
vice or element of design after the sale and delivery to the ul-
timate purchaser.
The law provides a penalty of up to $2,500 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 en-
gine that would result in an engine that does not match the engine
configuration certified to meet the Federal Standards.
