3. Existing Spark Ignition 4-Stroke Rich Burn Engines Timeline (See Notes 1 and 2)

RICE Rule Effective Date August 16, 2004
Initial Notifications

No later than December 13, 2004. [63.6645(b)]

Compliance Date No later than June 15, 2007 [63.6595(a)]
Notification of Intent to Conduct a Performance Test Within 60 days before the performance test is scheduled to begin, but no later than October 13, 2007 [63.6645(e)]
Conduct Performance Test and Other Initial Compliance Demonstrations No later than December 12, 2007 [63.6610(a) and Table 5]

Results of Initial Performance Tests No later than February 10, 2008, with the Notification of Compliance Status Report [63.6645(f)(2)]
Notification of Compliance Status No later than February 10, 2008 [63.6645(f)(1) and (2)]
Subsequent Performance Tests

Semiannually for all engines complying with the formaldehyde concentration standard and for engines ≥ 5,000 brake horsepower complying with the formaldehyde emission reduction standard [63.6615 and Table 3]

After a catalyst change, if using NSCR (Non-selective catalytic reduction) to comply with Subpart ZZZZ [63.6640(b)]

Semiannual Compliance Reports July 31, 2007 and semiannually on July 31 and January 31 thereafter [63.6650(b)(2) and (4)]

Notes:

  1. This timeline does not take into account special situations such as compliance extensions.
  2. Existing 4SRB: : stationary RICE with a site rating greater than 500 brake horsepower, the construction or reconstruction of which was commenced on or after December 19, 2002. [63.6590(a)(1)]
  3. For area sources that become a major source: stationary RICE that commence construction after the date the area source becomes a major source must be in compliance upon startup; stationary RICE that commence construction before the date the area source becomes a major source must be in compliance within 3 years after the area source becomes a major source. [63.6595(b)]
  4. A performance test must conducted if complying with emission limitations and operating limitations. An initial performance test is not required if a performance test has been previously conducted ant the test meets the requirements in 63.6610(d)(1) through (5).
  5. After compliance is demonstrated for two consecutive tests, the frequency of the subsequent tests may be reduced to annually. If any subsequent annual tests indicate that a RICE is not in compliance, semiannual performance testing must be resumed. In addition, you must resume semiannual performance testing if you deviate from any of the operating limits [Table 3].
  6. The initial semiannual report must cover the period beginning on the compliance date and ending on June 30 or December 31, whichever date is the first date following the end of the first calendar half after the compliance date [63.6650(b)(1)]. Subsequent reports cover the semiannual reporting period from January 1 through June 30 or July 1 through December 31 [63.6650(b)(3)].
  7. If you are subject to permitting requirements under Title V (40 CFR Part 70 or 71), you have the option of submitting your semiannual compliance reports according to the schedule established by the permitting authority for Title V monitoring reports [63.6650(b)(5)].
