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 acts 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.
