U.S. EPA Clean Air Act enforcement action resolved in fiscal year 2022.
About this enforcement action
Settlement for alleged Clean Air Act violations involving the manufacture, import, or sale of vehicles, engines, or aftermarket components.
Regulatory context — Manufacturer cases
Manufacturer cases involve original equipment manufacturers and importers responsible for engines, vehicles, or aftermarket components introduced into U.S. commerce. The Clean Air Act requires every new engine sold in the United States to be covered by a valid EPA Certificate of Conformity demonstrating compliance with applicable emission standards. Manufacturer cases typically allege the introduction of uncertified engines into commerce, the submission of false or misleading certification data, or failure to comply with reporting and recordkeeping obligations. Civil penalties for these matters are assessed per noncompliant engine, with a per-violation statutory maximum reaching $45,268 for reporting and recordkeeping violations.
