This includes certain amendments related to provisions adopted in January 2023 as well as other provisions adopted in earlier rules. The EPA also proposes to make nonconformance penalties (NCPs) available to manufacturers of medium heavy-duty engines (Medium HDE) and heavy heavy-duty engines (Heavy HDE) beginning in MY 2027.
