EPA emissions guidelines. The waiver will be transferred from the Air Force to the engine manufacturer. The transfer process requires the engine manufacturer to supply a decal for the engine stating “insert engine description here – This engine has an exemption for national security under 40 CFR 85.1708”. When specified (see 6.2) ultra low sulfur diesel compatible engines shall be provided.
