Cal. Code Regs. tit. 17 § 93118.5
The purpose and intent of this section is to reduce diesel particulate matter (PM), oxides of sulfur (SOx), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from diesel propulsion and auxiliary engines on harbor craft that operate in any of the waters subject to this section ("Regulated California Waters"). This section implements provisions of the Goods Movement Emission Reduction Plan, adopted by the California Air Resources Board (ARB or CARB) in April 2006, to reduce emissions and health risk from ports and the movement of goods in California. This Control Measure also ensures that commercial harbor craft do not create excess visible emissions. California's commercial harbor craft operations are largely situated in the vicinity of at-risk communities that directly benefit from localized reductions of NOx and PM emissions. This contributes to meeting community health goals as set forth in Assembly Bill 617 (Garcia, Stats. 2017, ch. 136). Furthermore, NOx and PM emission reductions contribute to meeting California's State Implementation Plan obligations for attainment, and further CARB's obligations under sections 39660 et seq. and 43013 et seq. of the Health & Safety Code. Additionally, use of shore power has a benefit of simultaneously reducing toxic, criteria pollutant, and GHG emissions. This contributes to meeting California's GHG emission reduction targets established in Assembly Bill 32 (Nunez, Stats. 2006, ch. 488) and Senate Bill 32 (Pavley, Stats. 2016, ch. 249).

This subsection (e)(6) applies, until December 31, 2022, to any person who owns, operates, sells, purchases, offers for sale, leases, rents, imports, or otherwise acquires an in-use ferry, excursion vessel, tugboat, towboat, push boat, crew and supply vessel, or barge and dredge vessel (in-use regulated category vessel) with a pre-Tier 1- or Tier 1-certified marine or off-road engine operating in any one of the above regulated in-use vessel categories for:
For purposes of this subsection, "applicable compliance date" is either the compliance date, as set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D) for the in-use engine, or the compliance date from subsection (e)(6)(D) for the in-use engine, as extended pursuant to subsection (e)(6)(E), whichever applies and occurs later.
A person may comply under this method by replacing the in-use engine with an engine certified to Tier 2 or Tier 3 marine or off-road engine emission standards as set forth in this paragraph. The replacement engine must meet the U.S. EPA Tier 2 or Tier 3 marine or off-road engine emission standards that would apply to a new engine, of the same size and configuration as the in-use engine, at the time of the applicable compliance date set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D). The replacement engine must meet the provisions of section 93118.5(e)(3).
[NOTE: For example, if the applicable compliance date is January 1, 2010, and the Tier 2 marine or off-road emission standards would be in effect at that time for a new engine of the same size and configuration as the in-use engine, the replacement would need to meet Tier 2 marine or off-road emission standards. However, if the applicable compliance date is instead January 1, 2013, and the Tier 3 marine or off-road emission standards would be in effect for a new engine of the same size and configuration as the in-use engine, the replacement engine would need to meet Tier 3 marine or off-road emission standards.]
Once the in-use engine has been replaced with an engine that is U.S. EPA-certified to meet Tier 2 or Tier 3 marine or off-road emission standards, as set forth above, the engine is deemed to be in compliance with this subsection (e)(6) and no further replacements of this engine are required under this subsection. Tier 3-certified marine or off-road engines may be used as the replacement engine to comply with this paragraph, even if Tier 4-certified marine or off-road emission engines become available by the applicable compliance date;
The E.O. may, in his/her sole discretion and based on good engineering judgment, exclude any information he/she determines is not reliable or credible.
The E.O. may, in his/her sole discretion and based on good engineering judgment, exclude any information he/she determines is not reliable or credible.
A person may comply under this method by demonstrating to the E.O.'s written satisfaction that the engine is a low-use engine. This compliance method requires the person to provide records to the E.O. of the engine's total annual hours of operation while operating in any of the regulated in-use vessel categories for the calendar year immediately preceding the demonstration. The person must also provide documentation sufficient for the E.O. to project future annual hours of operation for the engine. The person will be deemed in compliance with this method only if such records and documentation demonstrate to the E.O.'s written satisfaction that the in-use engine has not and will not operate 300 or more hours per calendar year in any of the regulated in-use vessel categories with the exception of the dredge or barge categories, or 80 or more hours per calendar year in either the dredge or barge categories.
Table 7, Table 8, Table 9, and Table 10 below set forth the compliance dates by which a person must meet the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(A). Table 7 applies only to engines on ferries, excursion vessels, tugboats, towboats, and push boats with a homeport outside of the SCAQMD; Table 8 applies only to engines on ferries, excursion vessels, tugboats, towboats, and push boats with a homeport within the SCAQMD; Table 9 applies only to engines on crew and supply vessels; and Table 10 applies only to engines on barge and dredge vessels. The compliance dates are set forth by engine model year and total annual hours of operation (for use in any regulated in-use vessel category) of the vessel in Regulated California Waters. For Table 7, Table 9, and Table 10, Method D1, D2, or D3 below may be used for determining the actual or effective engine model year. For Table 8, only Method D1 or D3 may be used for determining the actual or effective engine model year.
A person may determine an engine's compliance date under this method by using the engine's actual model year of manufacture, as documented by the sales contract, invoice, purchase order, or other legitimate proof of purchase for the engine. The actual model year of manufacture may also be shown on a label permanently affixed to the engine by the manufacturer. In the event of a conflict between the proof of purchase and the permanent label, the date of manufacture shown on the permanent label controls.
A person may determine an engine's compliance date under this method by calculating the engine's effective model year as the actual model year, using Method D1 above, and adding to that number 5 more years. To use this method, the person must use a diesel emissions control strategy (DECS) with the engine, as set forth below:
The E.O. may, in his/her sole discretion and based on good engineering judgment, exclude any data derived from the test methods under paragraph b above that he/she determines are not reliable or credible.
A person's use of a DECS or VDECS, which meets the requirements of this provision, extends the engine's compliance date to the compliance date for a similar engine that is five model years newer (i.e., the actual model year for the engine with the emissions control strategy + 5).
[NOTE: For example, the owner of a 1995 model year engine on a tugboat, which has a homeport outside of SCAQMD and operates in Regulated California Waters for 750 hours in 2013, would normally be required to meet a December 31, 2014 compliance date, as set forth in Table 7. However, if a DECS that meets the requirements of this provision is implemented with this engine prior to the 2014 nominal compliance date, the engine's actual compliance date would be extended to the compliance date for a 2000 model year engine (i.e., the effective model year = the 1995 model year + 5). Accordingly, in that scenario, the engine's effective model year would extend the compliance date to December 31, 2016].
A person may determine an engine's compliance date by demonstrating, to the E.O.'s written satisfaction, that the engine is an existing pre-2004 model year engine that was rebuilt to conform with U.S. EPA Tier 1 marine standards prior to January 1, 2008. If the E.O. is thus satisfied, the effective model year of the Tier 1 rebuilt engine, for purposes of determining the compliance date in Table 7, Table 8, Table 9, or Table 10, is the actual year in which the Tier 1 rebuild occurred.

Pursuant to this subsection (e)(6)(E), a person subject to the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(C) may request in writing to the E.O. an extension to a compliance date set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D) (i.e., extension to the "nominal" compliance date). The E.O. may grant the person an extension to the nominal compliance date for any one of the reasons set forth below. A person granted such an extension is deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(C) during the extension period, but only upon written authorization from the E.O. made pursuant to this provision and only until the end of the extension period. During the extension, the person must meet all other requirements of this section. Immediately upon the end of the extension period, the person must meet all the applicable requirements of this section.
Except as provided in paragraph (e)(6)(E)3 below, the E.O. may not combine compliance extensions granted pursuant to this provision with any other compliance date extensions, including those set forth in this provision and in subsection (e)(6)(D)2 and (D)3. And except as provided in paragraphs (e)(6)(E)2 and (e)(6)(E)3 below, under no circumstances may the E.O. grant more than one compliance extension for any individual engine, set of engines, or harbor craft.
The E.O. may grant a one-time, maximum one year extension to the nominal compliance date set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D), provided the person demonstrates to the E.O.'s written satisfaction that all of the following have occurred:
[NOTE: For example, suppose an operator has a 1982-model year engine on a tugboat, which has a homeport outside of SCAQMD and operates for 750 hours in Regulated California Waters in 2010. If it is reasonable for the operator to assume the annual hours of operation in 2011 will be similar to 2010, the operator would project from Table 7 that the engine's compliance date is December 31, 2012, and would plan his operations accordingly. However, if the vessel engine's operation increased substantially to 1600 hours in 2011, the engine normally would then have its compliance date accelerated to December 31, 2011, according to Table 7. The one-year extension would, therefore, extend the engine's actual compliance date back to what it would have been without the change in hours of operation (i.e., back to December 31, 2012).]
The E.O. may grant to a person a one year extension, which can be renewed annually, only if the person demonstrates to the E.O.'s written satisfaction that there is no suitable Tier 2 or Tier 3 marine or off-road-certified replacement engine available anywhere that can be used in the person's specific vessel, and the person cannot otherwise meet the requirements of subsection (e)(6)(C).
The E.O., in his/her sole discretion, may use any information available to the E.O. to rebut the person's demonstration. For purposes of this paragraph, the E.O. may deem an engine as suitable to replace an existing engine if the replacement engine is similar in horsepower to the existing engine, the replacement engine can fit within the vessel's engine compartment, and installation of the replacement engine would not cause the vessel to violate U.S. Coast Guard or other applicable safety regulations. The E.O. may not consider the cost of the replacement engine, by itself or including installation and downtime costs, in determining its suitability as a replacement.
The application for and issuance of an initial extension and subsequent extensions pursuant to this paragraph are subject to the following requirements:
Upon written request, the E.O. may grant to a person a 6-month extension to the nominal compliance date set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D), provided all the following criteria are met:
This provision applies only to fleets of 2 or more vessels that are owned by the same person. Upon written request, the E.O. may grant to the person an extension to the nominal compliance date(s) for engines on vessels within such fleets, as set forth below;
For all engines within a person's fleet that have not been granted an extension pursuant to paragraphs a or b above, the compliance dates for such engines remain as set forth in subsection (e)(6)(D).
The following requirements apply to any person's use of a DECS pursuant to subsections (e)(5) or (e)(6) and are in addition to any other applicable requirements:
Beginning January 1, 2023, any person subject to this subsection shall not sell, purchase, lease, rent, or import; offer for sale; or otherwise acquire or supply a new or in-use engine for a new or in-use harbor craft that is intended to operate or currently operates in RCW, unless that engine, on the date of acquisition, conforms to any one of the following subsections (A) through (E):
The E.O. may, in their sole discretion and based on good engineering judgment, exclude any information they determine is not reliable or credible;

At least 18 months prior to the compliance date, a ZEAT application must be submitted with the following information:
If a person adopts a ZEAT on new or newly acquired excursion vessels or short-run ferries no later than three years prior to compliance dates shown in Table 14, or at any time for any other category of vessel, the person may be granted additional compliance time as set forth in Table 15 for another excursion vessel or short-run ferry subject to subsection (e)(10), for all in-use engines to meet performance standards in subsection (e)(12) on another vessel in any regulated in-use category, or for all in-use engines to meet the requirements for commercial fishing vessels in subsection (e)(13) that is under a person's direct control and operating within the same California air basin.
Table 15. ZEAT Credit Time for Surplus ZEAT Deployment
| Marine Technology Type | Additional Compliance Time |
| Zero-Emission Capable Hybrid | 3 Extra Years |
| Zero-Emission | 7 Extra Years |
NOTE: The ZEAT credits in Table 15 are only issued in three- and seven-year increments, subject to the condition that the length of the additional compliance time may not extend beyond December 31, 2034, pursuant to subsection (e)(11)(B)7.
For example, a pilot boat, which is not subject to ZEAT requirements as set forth in subsection (e)(10) but must meet Tier 4 + DPF performance standards as set forth in subsection (e)(12) by December 31, 2027, is removed from service and replaced with a zero-emission vessel on December 31, 2026. In this scenario, the owner or operator of the pilot boat may request that CARB grant seven additional years to the compliance date for another vessel in the owner or operator's fleet that is operating in the same air basin, to comply with requirements of subsection (e)(12). However, the additional compliance time may not extend past December 31, 2034.
Regulated in-use vessels with pre-Tier 1- or Tier 1-certified engines may follow any of the below applicable compliance methods (e)(12)(C)(1) through (3) to comply with the performance standards set forth in subsection (e)(9).
A person may comply under this method by replacing the in-use engine with an engine certified to the most stringent marine standards (Tier 3 or Tier 4), or Tier 4 Final off-road engine emission standards applicable to a new engine with the applicable horsepower rating and duty cycle rating as the in-use engine at issue and that meets the applicable performance standards in subsection (e)(9) in its certified condition by U.S. EPA or CARB. The replacement engine must meet CARB defined performance standards that would apply to a new engine, of the applicable horsepower rating and duty cycle rating as the in-use engine, at the time of the compliance date set forth in subsection (e)(12)(D) plus any compliance extensions approved pursuant to subsection (e)(12)(E).
If an engine does not meet the most stringent marine standards (Tier 3 or Tier 4), or Tier 4 Final off-road standards applicable to a new engine with the applicable horsepower rating and duty cycle rating as the in-use engine at issue, and the applicable performance standards in subsection (e)(9), a person may comply under this method by repowering or rebuilding the in-use engine with an engine certified to the most stringent marine standards (Tier 3 or Tier 4), or Tier 4 Final off-road engine emission standards applicable to a new engine with applicable horsepower rating and duty cycle rating as the in-use engine and by additionally retrofitting the engine with a DPF.
A person may comply under this method by demonstrating that the tailpipe emissions meet the most stringent marine standards (Tier 3 or Tier 4), or Tier 4 Final off-road standards applicable to a new engine with the applicable horsepower rating and duty cycle rating as the in-use engine at issue, and also the applicable performance standards in subsection (e)(9). To comply with this method, the applicant must follow the provisions set forth in subsection (f).
Any pre-Tier 1 or Tier 1 certified engines on regulated in-use vessels may meet CARB performance standards using the phase-in method described below:
Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, and Table 19 below set forth the compliance dates by which a person must demonstrate that a regulated in-use vessel or engine meets the requirements of subsection (e)(12)(B). Table 16 applies only to any pre-Tier 1 and Tier 1 certified engines on regulated in-use vessels that were not subject to the in-use engine compliance requirements prior to January 1, 2023; Table 17 applies only to Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4 engines on ferries (except for short-run ferries), pilot vessels, all tugboats, towboats, and push boats; Table 18 applies only to Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4 engines on research vessels, commercial passenger fishing vessels, and in-use excursion vessels, and Table 19 applies to Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4 engines on barge and dredge vessels, crew and supply vessels, and workboats. The compliance dates are set forth by engine model year. For Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, and Table 19, Method D1 or D2 below may be used for determining the actual or effective engine model year.

A person may request that the E.O. grant an extension from the compliance dates forth in subsection (e)(10), (e)(12), (e)(13), or (i)(1) for infrastructure, feasibility, or scheduling delays. Compliance extensions are not transferrable to a subsequent owner after the sale of an engine or vessel. Except for Extension E5 for shipyard delays for new build vessels, owners/operators are not eligible to apply for extensions for newly acquired harbor craft.
With the exception of Extensions E2, Extension E3 for workboats pursuant to subsection (e)(12)(E)3.c.ii., and Extension E4, no extensions may extend beyond December 31, 2034.
With the exception of Extensions E2, Extension E3 for workboats pursuant to subsection (e)(12)(E)3.c.ii, and Extension E4, extensions may be combined, but the combination of extensions may not result in an extension for a single engine more than six years after the compliance date, or for more than eight years after the compliance date for vessels specified in subsection (e)(12)(E)3.c.i.
For each initial extension or renewal of an extension, the E.O. will review the application upon receiving a complete application. The E.O will approve or disapprove the requested compliance extension or renewal by relying on the information in the application, technical feasibility, and product availability as of the date of the deadline of the application, and their good engineering and financial judgment. If an applicant seeks a renewal of an extension, they must submit the same information required for the initial application.
For all regulated in-use vessels other than barges and barge-mounted dredges, to be eligible for this extension, all main propulsion engines must meet Tier 4 marine or Tier 4 Final off-road standards. Auxiliary engines onboard regulated vessels other than barges and barge-mounted dredges will not need to meet Tier 4 standards or be operated below the limits in Table 20 to be eligible for this extension.

The purpose of this subsection is to allow a person ("person" or "applicant") the option of applying alternative strategies to achieve equivalent or additional emission reductions relative to requirements of subsection (e)(7), (e)(10), (e)(12), or (e)(13).
A person subject to an approved ACE must retain records and reports for the lifetime of each engine and must submit these records and reports to the E.O. in the manner specified in the approved ACE or upon request by the E.O.
Within 30 days after receiving an ACE application, the E.O. shall notify an applicant whether the application is deemed sufficiently complete to proceed with further evaluation. If the application is deemed incomplete, the notification shall identify the application's deficiencies. The applicant must submit supplemental documentation within 30 days of receiving a notification indicating the application is incomplete. The E.O. shall have an additional 30-day period for reviewing each set of documents or information submitted in response to an incomplete determination. Nothing in this subsection prohibits the E.O. from requesting additional information from the applicant, during any part of the ACE application process, which the E.O. determines is necessary to evaluate the application.
After an ACE application has been deemed complete, within 30 days the E.O. shall provide a 30-day public comment period to receive comments on any element of the ACE application and whether the E.O. should approve or disapprove the ACE application based on the contents and merits of the application. The E.O. shall notify all interested parties of the following:
The E.O. shall also make this notification available for public review on the ACE internet site.
Within 30 days after the first public comment period ends, the E.O. shall notify the applicant and all interested parties of CARB's proposed approval or disapproval. This notification shall propose to approve the application as submitted, disapprove the application, or approve the ACE application with modifications as deemed necessary by the E.O. The notification shall identify the start and end dates for the 15-day second public comment period.
During the second public comment period, any person may comment on the E.O.'s proposed approval or disapproval of the ACE application and any element of the application. The E.O. shall also make this notification available for public review on the ACE internet site.
Within 30 days after the second public comment period ends, the E.O. shall take final action to either approve or deny an ACE application and shall notify the applicant accordingly. If the application is denied or modified, the E.O. shall state the reasons for the denial or modification in the notification. The notification to the applicant and approved ACE plan, if applicable, shall be made available to the public on the ACE internet site. In addition, the E.O. shall consider and address all comments received during the first and second public comment periods, and provide responses to each comment on the ACE internet site.
An applicant may apply for renewal of an approved ACE by forwarding the E.O. updated information for all elements of the approved ACE for review and re-approval. The applicant must submit the renewal application so that the E.O. receives the application no later than 30 days prior to the end of the ACE compliance period.
A person with an approved ACE must notify the E.O. in writing within 30 days upon learning of any information that would alter the emissions estimates submitted during any part of the ACE application process. If the E.O. has reason to believe that an approved ACE has been granted to a person that no longer meets the criteria for an ACE, the E.O. may, pursuant to subsection (f)(3) below, modify or revoke the ACE as necessary to assure that the applicant and subject vessel(s) meet the emission reduction requirements in this section.
With 30 days of notice of violation to the ACE holder, the E.O. may revoke or modify, as needed, an approved ACE if any of the following apply:
Public notification of a revocation or modification of an approved ACE shall be made available on the ACE internet site.
All harbor craft subject to this section shall meet the following requirements.
Facility owners and facility operators are jointly responsible for and must provide land-side shore power infrastructure sufficient to provide all auxiliary power needs, up to 99 kW for each vessel docked at their facilities as needed for vessel owners and operators to comply with the requirements as set forth in subsection (h).
The requirements of this subsection apply to any facility at which ZEAT vessels dock or moor.
This subsection applies to all main propulsion and auxiliary engines operating on all vessels (including commercial fishing vessels), and low-use engines regardless of engine model year, engine tier level, or compliance date. Applicable opacity limits as set forth in subsection (k)(2) must be met whenever the test procedure is administered.
Opacity testing shall be performed, and opacity must be measured and evaluated, using Society of Automotive Engineers "Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice, Snap Acceleration Smoke Test Procedure for Heavy-Duty Powered Vehicles" (SAE J1667, February 1996), which is incorporated herein by reference.
No engine shall exceed the smoke opacity levels provided below in accordance with this subsection.
This subsection applies to owners or operators of all commercial harbor craft subject to this subsection, except for commercial fishing vessels:
Table 23. Annual Fees for Owners or Operators of Regulated In-Use Vessels
| Category | Fee Amount |
| Per vessel, for single-vessel fleets | $364 |
| Per vessel, for all other fleets | $486 |
| Per main engine, for single-vessel fleets | $297 |
| Per main engine, for all other fleets | $396 |
| Per main engine, if complying by low-use exception as set forth in subsection (e)(14) | $594 |
| Late fee, per vessel | $130 |
| Late fee, per engine | $86 |
For example, for a vessel in a multi-vessel fleet with two main engines, the vessel owner or operator shall pay a total of $486 + ($396 x 2) = $1,278 per year for that one vessel. If the operator fails to pay this amount by September 1st, an additional $130 + ($86 x 2) = $302 late fee would be required for this vessel. For a fleet with one vessel only, with three main engines total, one of which is a low-use engine, the vessel owner or operator shall pay a total of $364 + ($297x2) + $594 = $1,552 per year. If the operator fails to pay this amount by September 1st, an additional $130 + ($86 x 3) = $388 late fee would be required for this vessel.
Beginning January 1, 2009, the owner or operator of a harbor craft must maintain the records specified in this subsection on the vessel or at the vessel's homebase for the life of each engine subject to this section, including fleet swing engines and marinized land-based engines. Records required beginning on January 1, 2023 must be maintained beginning January 1, 2023. The owner or operator must provide such records for inspection to an agent or employee of CARB upon request for all harbor craft subject to this section. Records may be provided as a hard copy, electronic, or any alternative reporting strategy approved by the E.O., except as provided in subsection (m)(21)(C). Records provided by the person under this provision must include, at a minimum, the following (if applicable):
Beginning January 1, 2023, the owner or operator of a harbor craft must maintain the following additional records:
An agent or employee of the ARB has the right of entry to board any harbor craft for the purpose of inspecting propulsion and auxiliary engines, emission control strategies, fuel systems, and fuel storage; collecting fuel sample(s) not to exceed one liter per fuel tank; and acquiring and inspecting records required pursuant to this section.
If any subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this regulation is, for any reason, held invalid, unconstitutional, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed as a separate, distinct, and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the regulation.
