NESHAPS ZZZZ, NSPS IIII and NSPS JJJJ

This webpage provides a portal to important information that will assist you in complying with the USEPA’s requirements for reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE).  Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District is delegated authority from USEPA to implement and enforce the applicable regulations.  The District implements these rules in conjunction with other State and local regulations.  See the District’s webpage for compression ignition (CI) engines here and our webpage for spark-ignited (SI) engines here.  The Federal rules that apply to internal combustion engines include:

• NESHAP ZZZZ (opens in a new tab).  Applies to all existing engines (including new engines rated over 500 bhp that are located at major HAP sources) .
• NSPS IIII (opens in a new tab).  Applies to new CI engines.  Diesel fueled engines are an example of a CI engine.
• NSPS JJJJ (opens in a new tab).  Applies to SI engines.  Includes engines fueled by natural gas, LPG, gasoline, LFG, digester gas.
