(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, any manufacturer-owned nonroad engine, as defined by § 89.902, is exempt from § 89.1003, without application, if the manufacturer complies with the following terms and conditions:

(iii) Final disposition of any engine removed from exempt status;  and

(2) The manufacturer must provide right of entry and access to these records to EPA authorized representatives as outlined in § 89.506.

(i) Be affixed in a readily visible portion of the engine,

(ii) Be attached in such a manner that cannot be removed without destruction or defacement,

(4) No provision of paragraph (a)(3) of this section prevents a manufacturer from including any other information it desires on the label.

(b) Any independent commercial importer that desires a precertification exemption pursuant to § 89.611(b)(3) and is in the business of importing, modifying, or testing uncertified nonroad engines for resale under the provisions of subpart G of this part, must apply to the Director, Engine Programs and Compliance Division. The Director may require such independent commercial importer to submit information regarding the general nature of the fleet activities, the number of nonroad engines involved, and a demonstration that adequate record-keeping procedures for control purposes will be employed.
