Spark Ignition Marine Vessel Evaporative Certification For Evaporative

Spark Ignition Marine Vessel Evaporative Certification For Evaporative Component Manufacturers John Mc. Knight IBEX 2010 Louisville, Kentucky

Applicability and Implementation • CARB standards will only apply to vessels with SI engines > 40 hp • CARB standards will harmonize with EPA standards through MY 2013 • CARB standards will be implemented for MY 2014

Evaporative Component Certification • All evaporative components (fuel tanks, fuel hoses and carbon canisters) must be certified by ARB • Evaporative component manufacturers apply for certification and receive an Executive Order (EO) • All evaporative components must be tested following ARB adopted test procedures September 2010 3

EPA vs. CARB Evaporative Emission Regulation EPA Regulation CARB Proposal Applicability All vessels Vessels > 40 HP Fuel Injection N/A Vessels > 40 hp Fuel Hose Permeation 15. 0 g/m 2/day @ 23 C 10. 0 g/m 2/day @ 23 C 2015 tech review, if technically and economically feasible 2016 - 5. 0 g/m 2/day @ 40 C Fuel Tank Permeation 2. 5 g/m 2/day @ 40 C or 1. 5 g/m 2/day @28 C . 70 g/m 2/day @ 28 C Diurnal 0. 4 g/gal/day Harmonize with EPA venting test procedure but set lower standard (0. 25 g/gal/day) Test Procedures Tank – 28 C Hose – 23 C Diurnal Profile – 78 - 90 F Tank – 28 C Hose – 23 C Diurnal Profile – 78 -90 F

EPA vs. CARB Evaporative Emission Regulation cont. EPA Regulation CARB Proposal Onboard Vapor Recovery N/A, but CARB will propose a deck fill plate that is compatible with the gasoline vapor recovery nozzle. Implementation Schedule 2009 – Hose 2012 – Tank 2012/2013 – Diurnal Reporting will start in 2013, with CARB standards in MY 2014 Labeling EPA specific label – may be combined with USCG capacity tag Manufacturers may propose an alternate label under ARB discretion Warranty 3 year emission warranty Require reporting of defective emissions related problems to 20 vessels Require reporting of defective emissions related problems to 10% of production or 20 vessels (whichever is less) Boat builders use certified components for installation Evaporative equipment Manufacturers certify and receive EO’s and boat builder installs or the Certification

Evaporative Component Labeling • ARB may approve alternate labeling for evaporative components – This may include EPA labeling September 2010 6

Major Evaporative Component Certification Steps 1. Test five components following ARB adopted test procedures – When applicable, data may be accepted from a previous test such as U. S. EPA certification data or OMT certification data 2. Submit a certification request letter, along with all test data to the Monitoring and Laboratory Division Chief 3. Receive Executive Order (EO) from ARB 4. Produce and label each evaporative component according to specification described in the EO request 5. Do Not introduce evaporative components into commerce in CA until EO received September 2010 7

Spark Ignition Marine Vessel Evaporative Certification for boat builders

Marine Vessel Evaporative Certification • Boat builder applies for certification and receives Executive Order (EO) • Must certify every year • Two certification methods: – Design-Based – Performance-Based September 2010 9

New Manufacturer Getting Started • Register with U. S. EPA as a manufacturer to receive 3 -digit code: [http: //www. epa. gov/otaq/verify/mfr-code. htm] • Submit to ARB via regular mail a certification contact authorization letter. – Name, address, e-mail, MFR’s name, EPA-assigned MFR’s. code • ARB assigns – ARB manufacturer code to enable access to Document Management System (DMS) – Engineer to assist in certification process September 2010 10

Major Marine Vessel Certification Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. (New Mfrs. ) Register with U. S. EPA to receive manufacturer code. Group vessel models into evaporative families. Create unique Evaporative Family code for each family using the same naming convention as EPA Demonstrate compliance with either the Design or Performance requirements Submit applications to ARB via the Internet (DMS). Receive Executive Order (EO) from ARB. Produce and label each marine vessel according to specifications described in applications. Do not introduce marine vessels into commerce in CA until EO received. Submit Running Changes if vessels, models, or components change during the model year September 2010 11
