** Attention ** On January 18, 2008, the EPA made effective a combined final rule regarding new source performance standards (NSPS) for new stationary Spark Ignition (SI) engines and National Emission Standards Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for new Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) located at area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). RICE engines that are in operation with 500 or less brake horsepower at area sources of HAP emissions or used for emergency power are required to be in compliance by July 1, 2008. Owners and operators are required to have certain engines tested and certified. For additional details, please see SI/RICE rule published at EPA’s website.
