Supplemental SSIE Exhaust Application Instructions (December 16, 2011 SSIE Board Hearing Changes)

ARB adopted revisions to the SSIE regulations on December 16, 2011 incorporating many provisions of 40 CFR 1054 by reference into California regulations and test procedures for SSIE engines for Model Year 2013 and later engine families. The ARB supplemental SSIE exhaust application lists the additional information that manufacturers are required to submit as part of the SSIE exhaust certification application to reflect the December 2011 hearing revisions.

Instructions for submitting the supplemental SSIE exhaust application for Model Year 2013 and later are as follows:

1) A) Model Year 2013 and later certification applications not yet submitted to ARB

For Model Year 2013 and later engine families, please cut and paste the contents of the supplemental SSIE exhaust application into the “Additional Comments” section (Page 14, Item 66) of the current ARB SSIE exhaust certification application.

B) Model Year 2013 and later certification applications already submitted to ARB

For each engine family, please submit this supplemental SSIE exhaust application into the DMS under the applicable exhaust application folder. Refer to DMS user’s guide for the file naming convention. Please provide this information as soon as possible but no later than the end of the model year.

2) If items in the supplemental SSIE exhaust application are already provided elsewhere in the current ARB SSIE exhaust certification application, you may add a reference location/pointer to the item in the main application in lieu of rewriting information. For example, for supplemental SSIE exhaust application S3 you may state “Address of Manufacturing Facility(s): Same as Page 1, Item 2b” in lieu of rewriting information.

3) For supplemental SSIE exhaust application S5, please refer to 40 CFR 1054.205(j) (What must I include in my application?) and 40 CFR 1054.130 (What installation instructions must I give to equipment manufacturers?) for specific requirements.

4) If you do not have enough space on the supplemental SSIE exhaust application form, you may submit additional documents into DMS if you list the filename and file directory in the supplemental SSIE exhaust application.

If you have any questions regarding the supplemental SSIE exhaust application, please contact your assigned ARB certification engineer.
