    66. Section 1065.520 is amended by revising paragraphs (b), (f)(1),
(g) introductory text, and (g)(7)(iii) to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.520  Pre-test verification procedures and pre-test data
collection.

* * * * *
    (b) Unless the standard-setting part specifies different
tolerances, verify that ambient conditions are within the following
tolerances before the test:
    (1) Ambient temperature of (20 to 30) [deg]C.
    (2) Intake air temperature of (20 to 30) [deg]C upstream of all
engine components.
    (3) Atmospheric pressure of (80.000 to 103.325) kPa and within
5% of the value recorded at the time of the last engine
map.
    (4) Dilution air conditions as specified in Sec.  1065.140.
* * * * *
    (f) * * *
    (1) Start the engine and use good engineering judgment to bring it
to one of the following:
    (i) 100% torque at any speed above its peak-torque speed.
    (ii) 100% operator demand.
* * * * *
    (g) After the last practice or preconditioning cycle before an
emission test, verify the amount of nonmethane contamination in the
exhaust and background HC sampling systems. You may omit verifying the
contamination of a background HC sampling system if its contamination
was verified within ten days before testing. For any NMHC measurement
system that involves separately measuring methane and subtracting it
from a THC measurement, verify the amount of HC contamination using
only the THC analyzer response. There is no need to operate any
separate methane analyzer for this verification. Perform this
verification as follows:
* * * * *

    67. Section 1065.525 is revised to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.525  Engine starting, restarting, optional repeating of void
discrete modes and shutdown.

    (a) Start the engine using one of the following methods:
    (1) Start the engine as recommended in the owners manual using a
production starter motor or air-start system and either an adequately
charged battery, a suitable power supply, or a suitable compressed air
source.
    (2) Use the dynamometer to start the engine. To do this, motor the
engine within 25% of its typical in-use cranking speed.
Stop cranking within 1 second of starting the engine.
    (b) If the engine does not start after 15 seconds of cranking, stop
cranking and determine why the engine failed to start, unless the
owners manual or the service-repair manual describes the longer
cranking time as normal.
    (c) Respond to engine stalling with the following steps:
    (1) If the engine stalls during warm-up before emission sampling
begins, restart the engine and continue warm-up.
    (2) If the engine stalls during preconditioning before emission
sampling begins, restart the engine and restart the preconditioning
sequence.
    (3) If the engine stalls at any time after emission sampling begins
for a transient test or ramped-modal cycle test, the test is void.
    (4) Except as described in paragraph (d) of this section, void the
test if the engine stalls at any time after emission sampling begins.
    (d) If emission sampling is interrupted during one of the modes of
a discrete-mode test, you may void the results only for that individual
mode and perform the following steps to continue the test:
    (i) If the engine has stalled, restart the engine.
    (ii) Use good engineering judgment to restart the test sequence
using the appropriate steps in Sec.  1065.530(b).
    (iii) Precondition the engine by operating at the previous mode for

approximately the same amount of time it operated at that mode for the
last emission measurement.
    (iv) Advance to the mode at which the engine stalled and continue
with the duty cycle as specified in the standard-setting part.
    (v) Complete the remainder of the test according to the
requirements in this subpart.
    (e) Shut down the engine according to the manufacturer's
specifications.
    68. Section 1065.530 is revised to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.530  Emission test sequence.

    (a) Time the start of testing as follows:
    (1) Perform one of the following if you precondition sampling
systems as described in Sec.  1065.520(f):
    (i) For cold-start duty cycles, shut down the engine. Unless the
standard-setting part specifies that you may only perform a natural
engine cooldown, you may perform a forced engine cooldown. Use good
engineering judgment to set up systems to send cooling air across the
engine, to send cool oil through the engine lubrication system, to
remove heat from coolant through the engine cooling system, and to
remove heat from any exhaust aftertreatment systems. In the case of a
forced aftertreatment cooldown, good engineering judgment would
indicate that you not start flowing cooling air until the
aftertreatment system has cooled below its catalytic activation
temperature. For platinum-group metal catalysts, this temperature is
about 200 [deg]C. Once the aftertreatment system has naturally cooled
below its catalytic activation temperature, good engineering judgment
would indicate that you use clean air with a temperature of at least 15
[deg]C, and direct the air through the aftertreatment system in the
normal direction of exhaust flow. Do not use any cooling procedure that
results in unrepresentative emissions (see Sec.  1065.10(c)(1)). You
may start a cold-start duty cycle when the temperatures of an engine's
lubricant, coolant, and aftertreatment systems are all between (20 and
30) [deg]C.
    (ii) For hot-start emission measurements, shut down the engine.
Start the hot-start duty cycle as specified in the standard-setting
part.
    (iii) For testing that involves hot-stabilized emission
measurements, such as any steady-state testing, you may continue to
operate the engine at maximum test speed and 100% torque if that is the
first operating point. Otherwise, operate the engine at warm idle or
the first operating point of the duty cycle. In any case, start the
emission test within 10 min after you complete the preconditioning
procedure.
    (2) If you do not precondition sampling systems, perform one of the
following:
    (i) For cold-start duty cycles, prepare the engine according to
paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section.
    (ii) For hot-start emission measurements, first operate the engine
at any speed above peak-torque speed and at (65 to 85)% of maximum
mapped power until either the engine coolant, block, or head absolute
temperature is within 2% of its mean value for at least 2
min or until the engine thermostat controls engine temperature. Shut
down the engine. Start the duty cycle within 20 min of engine shutdown.
    (iii) For testing that involves hot-stabilized emission
measurements, bring the engine either to warm idle or the first
operating point of the duty cycle. Start the test within 10 min of
achieving temperature stability. Determine temperature stability either
as the point at which the engine coolant, block, or head absolute
temperature is within 2% of its mean value for at least 2
min, or as the point at which the engine thermostat controls engine
temperature.
    (b) Take the following steps before emission sampling begins:
    (1) For batch sampling, connect clean storage media, such as
evacuated bags or tare-weighed filters.
    (2) Start all measurement instruments according to the instrument
manufacturer's instructions and using good engineering judgment.
    (3) Start dilution systems, sample pumps, cooling fans, and the
data-collection system.
    (4) Pre-heat or pre-cool heat exchangers in the sampling system to
within their operating temperature tolerances for a test.
    (5) Allow heated or cooled components such as sample lines,
filters, chillers, and pumps to stabilize at their operating
temperatures.
    (6) Verify that there are no significant vacuum-side leaks
according to Sec.  1065.345.
    (7) Adjust the sample flow rates to desired levels, using bypass
flow, if desired.
    (8) Zero or re-zero any electronic integrating devices, before the
start of any test interval.
    (9) Select gas analyzer ranges. You may automatically or manually
switch gas analyzer ranges during a test only if switching is performed
by changing the span over which the digital resolution of the
instrument is applied. During a test you may not switch the gains of an
analyzer's analog operational amplifier(s).
    (10) Zero and span all continuous analyzers using NIST-traceable
gases that meet the specifications of Sec.  1065.750. Span FID
analyzers on a carbon number basis of one (1), C1. For
example, if you use a C3H8 span gas of
concentration 200 [mu]mol/mol, span the FID to respond with a value of
600 [mu]mol/mol. Span FID analyzers consistently with the determination
of their respective response factors, RF, and penetration fractions,
PF, according to Sec.  1065.365.
    (11) We recommend that you verify gas analyzer responses after
zeroing and spanning by sampling a calibration gas that has a
concentration near one-half of the span gas concentration. Based on the
results and good engineering judgment, you may decide whether or not to
re-zero, re-span, or re-calibrate a gas analyzer before starting a
test.
    (12) If you correct for dilution air background concentrations of
engine exhaust constituents, start measuring and recording background
concentrations.
    (13) Drain any condensate from the intake air system and close any
intake air condensate drains that are not normally open during in-use
operation.
    (c) Start testing as follows:
    (1) If an engine is already running and warmed up, and starting is
not part of the duty cycle, perform the following for the various duty
cycles:
    (i) Transient and steady-state ramped-modal cycles. Simultaneously
start running the duty cycle, sampling exhaust gases, recording data,
and integrating measured values.
    (ii) Steady-state discrete-mode cycles. Control the engine
operation to match the first mode in the test cycle. This will require
controlling engine speed and load, engine load, or other operator
demand settings, as specified in the standard-setting part. Follow the
instructions in the standard-setting part to determine how long to
stabilize engine operation at each mode, how long to sample emissions
at each mode, and how to transition between modes.
    (2) If engine starting is part of the duty cycle, initiate data
logging, sampling of exhaust gases, and integrating measured values
before attempting to start the engine. Initiate the duty cycle when the
engine starts.
    (d) At the end of each test interval, continue to operate all
sampling and dilution systems to allow the sampling system's response
time to elapse. Then stop all sampling and recording, including the
recording of background samples. Finally, stop any integrating devices
and indicate the end of the duty cycle in the recorded data.

    (e) Shut down the engine if you have completed testing or if it is
part of the duty cycle.
    (f) If testing involves another duty cycle after a soak period with
the engine off, start a timer when the engine shuts down, and repeat
the steps in paragraphs (b) through (e) of this section as needed.
    (g) Take the following steps after emission sampling is complete:
    (1) For any proportional batch sample, such as a bag sample or PM
sample, verify that proportional sampling was maintained according to
Sec.  1065.545. Void any samples that did not maintain proportional
sampling according to Sec.  1065.545.
    (2) Place any used PM samples into covered or sealed containers and
return them to the PM-stabilization environment. Follow the PM sample
post-conditioning and total weighing procedures in Sec.  1065.595.
    (3) As soon as practical after the duty cycle is complete but no
later than 30 minutes after the duty cycle is complete, perform the
following:
    (i) Zero and span all batch gas analyzers.
    (ii) Analyze any gaseous batch samples, including background
samples.
    (4) After quantifying exhaust gases, verify drift as follows:
    (i) For batch and continuous gas anlyzers, record the mean analyzer
value after stabilizing a zero gas to the analyzer. Stabilization may
include time to purge the analyzer of any sample gas, plus any
additional time to account for analyzer response.
    (ii) Record the mean analyzer value after stabilizing the span gas
to the analyzer. Stabilization may include time to purge the analyzer
of any sample gas, plus any additional time to account for analyzer
response.
    (iii) Use these data to validate and correct for drift as described
in Sec.  1065.550.
    (h) Unless the standard-setting part specifies otherwise, determine
whether or not the test meets the cycle-validation criteria in Sec.
1065.514.
    (1) If the criteria void the test, you may retest using the same
denormalized duty cycle, or you may re-map the engine, denormalize the
reference duty cycle based on the new map and retest the engine using
the new denormalized duty cycle.
    (2) If the criteria void the test for a constant-speed engine only
during commands of maximum test torque, you may do the following:
    (i) Determine the first and last feedback speeds at which maximum
test torque was commanded.
    (ii) If the last speed is greater than or equal to 90% of the first
speed, the test is void. You may retest using the same denormalized
duty cycle, or you may re-map the engine, denormalize the reference
duty cycle based on the new map and retest the engine using the new
denormalized duty cycle.
    (iii) If the last speed is less than 90% of the first speed, reduce
maximum test torque by 5%, and proceed as follows:
    (A) Denormalize the entire duty cycle based on the reduced maximum
test torque according to Sec.  1065.512.
    (B) Retest the engine using the denormalized test cycle that is
based on the reduced maximum test torque.
    (C) If your engine still fails the cycle criteria, reduce the
maximum test torque by another 5% of the original maximum test torque.
    (D) If your engine fails after repeating this procedure four times,
such that your engine still fails after you have reduced the maximum
test torque by 20% of the original maximum test torque, notify us and
we will consider specifying a more appropriate duty cycle for your
engine under the provisions of Sec.  1065.10(c).
    69. Section 1065.545 is amended by revising paragraph (b)(2) to
read as follows:

Sec.  1065.545  Validation of proportional flow control for batch
sampling.

* * * * *
    (b) * * *
    (2) Positive-displacement pump option. You may use the 1 Hz (or
more frequently) recorded pump-inlet conditions. Demonstrate that the
flow density at the pump inlet was constant within 2.5% of
the mean or target density over each test interval. For a CVS pump, you
may demonstrate this by showing that the absolute temperature at the
pump inlet was constant within 2% of the mean or target
absolute temperature over each test interval.
* * * * *
    70. Section 1065.550 is revised to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.550  Gas analyzer range validation, drift validation, and
drift correction.

    (a) Range validation. If an analyzer operated above 100% of its
range at any time during the test, perform the following steps:
    (1) For batch sampling, re-analyze the sample using the lowest
analyzer range that results in a maximum instrument response below
100%. Report the result from the lowest range from which the analyzer
operates below 100% of its range.
    (2) For continuous sampling, repeat the entire test using the next
higher analyzer range. If the analyzer again operates above 100% of its
range, repeat the test using the next higher range. Continue to repeat
the test until the analyzer always operates at less than 100% of its
range.
    (b) Drift validation and drift correction. Calculate two sets of
brake-specific emission results. Calculate one set using the data
before drift correction and calculate the other set after correcting
all the data for drift according to Sec.  1065.672. Use the two sets of
brake-specific emission results as follows:
    (1) If the difference between the corrected and uncorrected brake-
specific emissions are within 4% of the uncorrected results
or within 4% of the applicable standard for all regulated
emissions, the test is validated for drift. If not, the entire test is
void.
    (2) If the test is validated for drift, you must use only the
drift-corrected emission results when reporting emissions, unless you
demonstrate to us that using the drift-corrected results adversely
affects your ability to demonstrate that your engine complies with the
applicable standards.
    71. Section 1065.590 is amended by revising paragraph (j)(9) to
read as follows:

Sec.  1065.590  PM sample preconditioning and tare weighing.

* * * * *
    (j) * * *
    (9) Once weighing is completed, follow the instructions given in
paragraphs (g) through (i) of this section.
    72. Section 1065.595 is amended by revising paragraph (e) to read
as follows:

Sec.  1065.595  PM sample post-conditioning and total weighing.

* * * * *
    (e) To stabilize PM samples, place them in one or more containers
that are open to the PM-stabilization environment, which is described
in Sec.  1065.190. A PM sample is stabilized as long as it has been in
the PM-stabilization environment for one of the following durations,
during which the stabilization environment has been within the
specifications of Sec.  1065.190:
    (1) If you expect that a filter's total surface concentration of PM
will be greater than about 0.5 [mu]g/mm2, expose the filter
to the stabilization environment for at least 60 minutes before
weighing.
    (2) If you expect that a filter's total surface concentration of PM
will be less than about 0.5 [mu]g/mm2, expose the filter to
the stabilization environment for at least 30 minutes before weighing.
    (3) If you are unsure of a filter s total surface concentration of
PM, expose the filter to the stabilization environment for at least 60
minutes before weighing.

    (4) Note that 0.5 [mu]g/mm2 is approximately equal to
567 [mu]g of net PM mass on a PM filter with a 38 mm diameter stain
area. It is also an approximate surface concentration at 0.07 g/
kW[middot]hr for a hot-start test with compression-ignition engines
tested according to 40 CFR part 86, subpart N, or 50 mg/mile for a
light-duty vehicle tested according to 40 CFR part 86, subpart B.

Subpart G--[Amended]

    73. Section 1065.610 is amended by revising paragraph (b)(1) before
the equation to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.610  Duty cycle generation.

* * * * *
    (b) Maximum test torque, Ttest. For constant-speed engines,
determine the measured Ttest from the power-versus-speed
map, generated according to Sec.  1065.510, as follows:
    (1) Based on the map, determine maximum power, Pmax, and
the speed at which maximum power occurs, fnPmax. Divide
every recorded power by Pmax and divide every recorded speed
by fnPmax. The result is a normalized power-versus-speed
map. Your measured Ttest is the torque at which the sum of
the squares of normalized speed and power is maximum, as follows:
    74. Section 1065.642 is amended as follows:
    a. By revising the reference ``Eq. 1065.640-4'' to read ``Eq.
1065.640-5''.
    b. By revising the reference ``Eq. 1065.640-5'' in paragraph (b) to
read ``Eq. 1065.640-6''.
    c. By revising the reference ``Eq. 1065.640-6'' in paragraph (b) to
read ``Eq. 1065.640-7''.
    75. Section 1065.650 is amended by revising the reference to
``1065.650-5'' in paragraph (e)(4) to be ``Eq. 1065.650-5'' and adding
Equation 1065.650-5 after Equation 1065.650-4 in paragraph (b)(2)(i) to
read as follows:

Sec.  1065.650  Emission calculations.

* * * * *

    76. Section 1065.655 is amended by revising paragraphs (c)
introductory text and (d)(1)(ii) to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.655  Chemical balances of fuel, intake air, and exhaust.

* * * * *
    (c) Chemical balance procedure. The calculations for a chemical
balance involve a system of equations that require iteration. We
recommend using a computer to solve this system of equations. You must
guess the initial values of up to three quantities: the amount of water
in the measured flow, xH2O, fraction of dilution air in
diluted exhaust, xdil, and the amount of products on a
C1 basis per dry mole of dry measured flow,
xCproddry. For each emission concentration, x, and amount of
water, xH2O, you must determine their completely dry
concentrations, xdry and xH2Odry. You must also
use your fuel's atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio, [alpha], and oxygen-
to-carbon ratio, [beta]. For your fuel, you may measure [alpha] and
[beta] or you may use the default values in Table 1 of Sec.  1065.650.
Use the following steps to complete a chemical balance:
* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (ii) During emission testing you route open crankcase flow to the
exhaust according to Sec.  1065.130(i).

Subpart H--[Amended]

    77. Section 1065.701 is amended by revising paragraphs (c)
introductory text and (e) to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.701  General requirements for test fuels.

* * * * *
    (c) Fuels not specified in this subpart. If you produce engines
that run on a type of fuel (or mixture of fuels) that we do not specify
in this subpart, you must get our written approval to establish the
appropriate test fuel. See the standard-setting part for provisions
related to fuels not specified in this subpart. We will generally allow
you to use the fuel if you show us all the following things are true:
    (1) Show that this type of fuel is commercially available.
    (2) Show that your engines will use only the designated fuel in
service.
    (3) Show that operating the engines on the fuel we specify would
unrepresentatively increase emissions or decrease durability.
* * * * *
    (e) Service accumulation and field testing fuels. If we do not
specify a service-accumulation or field-testing fuel in the standard-
setting part, use an appropriate commercially available fuel such as
those meeting minimum specifications from the following table:

    83. Section 1065.750 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(2),
(a)(3), and (a)(4) to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.750  Analytical Gases.

* * * * *
    (a) * * *
    (2) Use the following gases with a FID analyzer:
    (i) FID fuel. Use FID fuel with a stated H2
concentration of (0.400 0.004) mol/mol, balance He, and a
stated total hydrocarbon concentration of 0.05 [mu]mol/mol or less.
    (ii) FID burner air. Use FID burner air that meets the
specifications of purified air in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. For
field testing, you may use ambient air.
    (iii) FID zero gas. Zero flame-ionization detectors with purified
gas that meets the specifications in paragraph (a)(1) of this section,
except that the purified gas O2 concentration may be any
value. Note that FID zero balance gases may be any combination of
purified air and purified nitrogen. We recommend FID analyzer zero
gases that contain approximately the flow-weighted mean concentration
of O2 expected during testing.
    (iv) FID propane span gas. Span and calibrate THC FID with span
concentrations of propane, C3H8. Calibrate on a
carbon number basis of one (C1). For example, if you use a
C3H8 span gas of concentration 200 [mu]mol/mol,
span a FID to respond with a value of 600 [mu]mol/mol. Note that FID
span balance gases may be any combination of purified air and purified
nitrogen. We recommend FID analyzer span gases that contain
approximately the flow-weighted mean concentration of O2
expected during testing. If the expected exhaust O2
concentration is zero, we recommend using a balance gas of purified
nitrogen.
    (v) FID methane span gas. If you always span and calibrate a
CH4 FID with a nonmethane cutter, then span and calibrate
the FID with span concentrations of methane, CH4. Calibrate
on a carbon number basis of one (C1). For example, if you
use a CH4 span gas of concentration 200 [mu]mol/mol, span a
FID to respond with a value of 200 [mu]mol/mol. Note that FID span
balance gases may be any combination of purified air and purified
nitrogen. We recommend FID analyzer span gases that contain
approximately the flow-weighted mean concentration of O2
expected during testing. If the expected exhaust O2
concentration is zero, we recommend using a balance gas of purified
nitrogen.
    (3) Use the following gas mixtures, with gases traceable within
1.0% of the NIST accepted value or other gas standards we
approve:
    (i) CH4, balance purified synthetic air and/or
N2 (as applicable).
    (ii) C2H6, balance purified synthetic air
and/or N2 (as applicable).
    (iii) C3H8, balance purified synthetic air
and/or N2 (as applicable).
    (iv) CO, balance purified N2.
    (v) CO2, balance purified N2.
    (vi) NO, balance purified N2.
    (vii) NO2, balance purified synthetic air.
    (viii) O2, balance purified N2.
    (ix) C3H8, CO, CO2, NO, balance
purified N2.
    (x) C3H8, CH4, CO, CO2,
NO, balance purified N2.
    (4) You may use gases for species other than those listed in
paragraph (a)(3) of this section (such as methanol in air, which you
may use to determine response factors), as long as they are traceable
to within 1.0% of the NIST accepted value or other similar
standards we approve, and meet the stability requirements of paragraph
(b) of this section.

Sec.  1065.901  Applicability.

* * * * *
    (b) Laboratory testing. You may use PEMS for any testing in a
laboratory or

similar environment without restriction or prior approval if the PEMS
meets all the specifications for the laboratory equipment that it
replaces. You may also use PEMS for any testing in a laboratory or
similar environment if we approve it in advance, subject to the
following provisions:
* * * * *
    86. Section 1065.905 is amended by revising paragraph (e)
introductory text to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.905  General provisions.

* * * * *
    (e) Laboratory testing using PEMS. You may use PEMS for testing in
a laboratory as described in Sec.  1065.901(b). Use the following
procedures and specifications when using PEMS for laboratory testing:
* * * * *
    87. Section 1065.910 is revised to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.910  PEMS auxiliary equipment for field testing.

    For field testing you may use various types of auxiliary equipment
to attach PEMS to a vehicle or engine and to power PEMS.
    (a) When you use PEMS, you may route engine intake air or exhaust
through a flow meter. Route the engine intake air or exhaust as
follows:
    (1) Flexible connections. Use short flexible connectors where
necessary.
    (i) You may use flexible connectors to enlarge or reduce the pipe
diameters to match that of your test equipment.
    (ii) Use flexible connectors that do not exceed a length of three
times their largest inside diameter.
    (iii) Use four-ply silicone-fiberglass fabric with a temperature
rating of at least 315 [deg]C for flexible connectors. You may use
connectors with a spring-steel wire helix for support and you may use
NomexTM coverings or linings for durability. You may also
use any other nonreactive material with equivalent permeation-
resistance and durability, as long as it seals tightly.
    (iv) Use stainless-steel hose clamps to seal flexible connectors,
or use clamps that seal equivalently.
    (v) You may use additional flexible connectors to connect to flow
meters.
    (2) Tubing. Use rigid 300 series stainless steel tubing to connect
between flexible connectors. Tubing may be straight or bent to
accommodate vehicle geometry. You may use T or Y fittings made of 300
series stainless steel tubing to join multiple connections, or you may
cap or plug redundant flow paths if the engine manufacturer recommends
it.
    (3) Flow restriction. Use flowmeters, connectors, and tubing that
do not increase flow restriction so much that it exceeds the
manufacturer s maximum specified value. You may verify this at the
maximum exhaust flow rate by measuring pressure at the manufacturer-
specified location with your system connected. You may also perform an
engineering analysis to verify an acceptable configuration, taking into
account the maximum exhaust flow rate expected, the field test system s
flexible connectors, and the tubing s characteristics for pressure
drops versus flow.
    (b) For vehicles or other motive equipment, we recommend installing
PEMS in the same location where a passenger might sit. Follow PEMS
manufacturer instructions for installing PEMS in cargo spaces, engine
spaces, or externally such that PEMS is directly exposed to the outside
environment. Locate PEMS where it will be subject to minimal sources of
the following parameters:
    (1) Ambient temperature changes.
    (2) Ambient pressure changes.
    (3) Electromagnetic radiation.
    (4) Mechanical shock and vibration.
    (5) Ambient hydrocarbons--if using a FID analyzer that uses ambient
air as FID burner air.
    (c) Use mounting hardware as required for securing flexible
connectors, ambient sensors, and other equipment. Use structurally
sound mounting points such as vehicle frames, trailer hitch receivers,
walkspaces, and payload tie-down fittings. We recommend mounting
hardware such as clamps, suction cups, and magnets that are
specifically designed for your application. We also recommend
considering mounting hardware such as commercially available bicycle
racks, trailer hitches, and luggage racks where applicable.
    (d) Field testing may require portable electrical power to run your
test equipment. Power your equipment, as follows:
    (1) You may use electrical power from the vehicle, equipment, or
vessel, up to the highest power level, such that all the following are
true:
    (i) The power system is capable of safely supplying power, such
that the power demand for testing does not overload the power system.
    (ii) The engine emissions do not change significantly as a result
the power demand for testing.
    (iii) The power demand for testing does not increase output from
the engine by more than 1 % of its maximum power.
    (2) You may install your own portable power supply. For example,
you may use batteries, fuel cells, a portable generator, or any other
power supply to supplement or replace your use of vehicle power.
However, you must not supply power to the vehicle, vessel, or equipment
s power system under any circumstances.
    88. Section 1065.915 is amended by revising paragraph (a) before
the table and paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(5)(iii)(B) to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.915  PEMS instruments.

    (a) Instrument specifications. We recommend that you use PEMS that
meet the specifications of subpart C of this part. For unrestricted use
of PEMS in a laboratory or similar environment, use a PEMS that meets
the same specifications as each lab instrument it replaces. For field
testing or for testing with PEMS in a laboratory or similar
environment, under the provisions of Sec.  1065.905(b), the
specifications in the following table apply instead of the
specifications in Table 1 of Sec.  1065.205.
* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (1) Recording ECM signals. If your ECM updates a broadcast signal
more or less frequently than 1 Hz, process data as follows:
    (i) If your ECM updates a broadcast signal more frequently than 1
Hz, use PEMS to sample and record the signal s value more frequently.
Calculate and record the 1 Hz mean of the more frequently updated data.
    (ii) If your ECM updates a broadcast signal less frequently than 1
Hz, use PEMS to sample and record the signal s value at the most
frequent rate. Linearly interpolate between recorded values and record
the interpolated values at 1 Hz.
    (iii) Optionally, you may use PEMS to electronically filter the ECM
signals to meet the rise time and fall time specifications in Table 1
of this section. Record the filtered signal at 1 Hz.
* * * * *
    (5) * * *
    (iii) * * *
    (B) Use a single BSFC value that approximates the BSFC value over a
test nterval (as defined in subpart K of this part). This value may be
a nominal BSFC value for all engine operation determined over one or
more laboratory duty cycles, or it may be any other BSFC that you
determine. If you use a nominal BSFC, we recommend that you select a
value based on the BSFC measured over laboratory duty cycles that best
represent the range of engine operation that defines a test interval
for field-

testing. You may use the methods of this paragraph (d)(5)(iii)(B) only
if it does not adversely affect your ability to demonstrate compliance
with applicable standards.
* * * * *
    89. Section 1065.920 is amended by revising paragraphs (a) and
(b)(7) introductory text to read as follows:

Sec.  1065.920  PEMS Calibrations and verifications.

    (a) Subsystem calibrations and verifications. Use all the
applicable calibrations and verifications in subpart D of this part,
including the linearity verifications in Sec.  1065.307, to calibrate
and verify PEMS. Note that a PEMS does not have to meet the system-
response specifications of Sec.  1065.308 if it meets the overall
verification described in paragraph (b) of this section. This section
does not apply to ECM signals.
    (b) * * *
    (7) The PEMS passes this verification if any one of the following
are true for each constituent:
* * * * *
    90. Section 1065.925 is amended by revising paragraph (h)(8) to
read as follows:

Sec.  1065.925  PEMS preparation for field testing.

* * * * *
    (h) * * *
    (8) If corrective action does not resolve the deficiency, you may
use a contaminated HC system if it does not prevent you from
demonstrating compliance with the applicable emission standards.
    91. Section 1065.935 is amended by revising paragraph (e)(1) to
read as follows:

Sec.  1065.935  Emission test sequence for field testing.

* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (1) Continue sampling as needed to get an appropriate amount of
emission measurement, according to the standard setting part. If the
standard-setting part does not describe when to stop sampling, develop
a written protocol before you start testing to establish how you will
stop sampling. You may not determine when to stop testing based on
emission results.

 Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation

    On August 29, 2012, the Exelon Generation Company, LLC, licensee
for the Muddy Run Pumped Storage Project, filed an Application for a
New License pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission's regulations thereunder. The Muddy Run Pumped Storage
Project is located on Muddy Run, a tributary to the Susquehanna River,
in Lancaster and York, Counties, Pennsylvania.
    The license for Project No. 2355 was issued for a period ending
August 31, 2014. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the license after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensee
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to
continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
    If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 2355 is issued to
the licensee for a period effective September 1, 2014 through August
31, 2015 or until the issuance of a new license for the project or
other disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. If issuance of
a new license (or other disposition) does not take place on or before
August 31, 2015, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR
16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is
renewed automatically without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise.
    If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that the licensee, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, is
authorized to continue operation of the Muddy Run Pumped Storage
Project, until such time as the Commission acts on its application for
a subsequent license.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a motor vehicle, including a
trailer, that was not originally manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS, and has no substantially similar U.S.-certified
counterpart, shall be refused admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided that the motor vehicle has safety features that
comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, all
applicable FMVSS based on destructive test data or such other evidence
as NHTSA decides to be adequate.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
    G&K Automotive Conversion Inc. (G&K), of Santa Ana, California
(Registered Importer R-90-007) has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether
nonconforming MY 2014 EMU Camper Trailer 4x4 Extreme Adventure trailers
are eligible for importation into the United States. G&K believes these
vehicles are capable of being modified to meet all applicable FMVSS.
    G&K submitted information with its petition intended to demonstrate
that MY 2014 EMU Camper Trailer 4x4 Extreme Adventure trailers are
capable of being altered to comply with all applicable standards to
which they were not originally manufactured to conform.
    Specifically, the petitioner contends that the nonconforming MY
2014 EMU Camper Trailer 4x4 Extreme Adventure trailers meet or are
capable of being altered to meet the following standards, in the manner
indicated:
    Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated
Equipment: Installation of the following U.S.-certified components as
necessary to meet the requirements of the standard: front and rear side
marker lamps, stop lamps, taillamps, turn signal lamps, front clearance
lamps, and side and rear mounted reflex reflectors.
    Standard No. 119 New pneumatic tires for motor vehicles with a GVWR
of more than 10,000 pounds: Replacement of any nonconforming tires with
tires that conform to the standard.
    Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and Rims and motor home/recreation
vehicle trailer: Installation of the required tire information placard.
    G&K further states that labels will be affixed to conform to
requirements of 49 CFR part 567 Certification.
    This notice of receipt of G&K petition does not represent any
agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of
the petition. Notice of final action on the petition will be published
in the Federal Register pursuant to the authority indicated below.

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), and (b)(1); 49
CFR 593.7; delegation of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

method for interested persons to submit brief, text-only comments on a
project;
    (2) You may file your comments or protests electronically by using
the eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission's website
(www.ferc.gov) under the link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling,
you can provide comments in a variety of formats by attaching them as a
file with your submission. New eFiling users must first create an
account by clicking on ``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select the

will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, and will
receive notification when the environmental documents (EA or EIS) are
issued for this project and will be notified of meetings associated
with the Commission's environmental review process.
    The Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. However, the filing of
a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the
proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene in the proceeding.
For instructions on how to intervene, see below.

Interventions

    Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,\6\ has the option to file a motion
to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and

Procedure \7\ and the regulations under the NGA \8\ by the intervention
deadline for the project, which is December 7, 2023. As described
further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to the extent
known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as your interest
in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include your status as
a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted community, or
