RULE 12 - Registration of Specified Equipment

Rule 12 requires forms to be filled out; a District General Application Form (App116) and the applicable single form titled "Certificate of Compliance and Certificate of Registration".  For emergency standby diesel-fueled engines, select a form based on your diesel particulate matter (PM) exhaust emissions.  If exhaust emissions are unknown or greater than 0.4 grams per brake horsepower-hour (g/BHP-hr), use form 34W/12844.  This will limit the engine to 20 hours per year for maintenance and testing purposes.  If there is documentation that PM exhaust emissions are less than or equal to 0.4 g/BHP-hr, than the engine may be operated up to 30 hours per year for maintenance and testing purposes.  An ATCM Fee Code/BEC CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE & CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION  03W/10926 Asphalt Roofing Kettles/Asphalt Roofing Day Tanker PDF  05W/10927 Rock Drill PDF
