Flexibility engines certified under the California Air Resources Board’s flexibility program provisions are noncompliant engines unless a previously issued executive order for that engine family indicates the emission standard category is tier 4 interim. You may access these executive orders at the California Air Resources Board website: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/offroad/cert/cert.php. For example:

Executive Order U-R-002-0747 was issued on March 16, 2020, for Flexibility Program Engine Family Name “DCEXL15.0AAK,” a Cummins Inc. 2020 model engine. Executive Order U-R-002-0592-2 issued On December 30, 2013, for Engine Family DCEXL15.0AAK indicates the “Emission Standard Category” is tier 4 interim. Use of Engine Family “DCEXL 15.0AAK is compliant.

If you operate a vehicle that is noncompliant with these requirements, the Department deducts a $2000 penalty for each noncompliant engine for each day of operation.
