Dear Mr. Potts:

In accordance with 1 CFR part 51, I request that you approve the
incorporation by reference of the material identified below into title
40 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  

ANSI

CSA IR-1-15, Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) High Flow Fueling
Connection Devices, Supplement to NGV 1-2006, ANSI approved August 26,
2015; into §§ 86.1(c)(2) and 86.1813-17(f)(1).

ASTM

ASTM D4809-13 Standard Test Method for Heat of Combustion of Liquid
Hydrocarbon Fuels by Bomb Calorimeter (Precision Method), approved May
1, 2013; into §§ 1036.530(b)(1)(i) and 1036.810(b)(1).

ε1 [insert title and approved date]; into §§1065.266(b),
1065.275(b)(2), and 1065.1010(b)(41).

ASTM D4629, ASTM D5291, ASTM D5599, and ASTM 5762 are already approved
for §1065.655; we are simply reorganizing the section and moving the
references from paragraph (d) to paragraph (e) and updating §1065.1010.

EPA

Greenhouse gas Emissions Model (GEM) Phase 2, Version 3.0, July 2016;
into §§ 1037.520 introductory text, 1037.801, and 1037.810(c)(2). 

IMO

MARPOL Annex VI, Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from
Ships, Third Edition, 2013, and NOx Technical Code 2008, consisting of:

Revised MARPOL Annex VI, Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution
from Ships, Third Edition, 2013 ("2008 Annex VI"); into §§ 1042.901
and 1042.910(b)(1)(i).

NOx Technical Code 2008, Technical Code on Control of Emission of
Nitrogen Oxides from Marine Diesel Engines, 2013 Edition, ("NOx
Technical Code"); into §§ 1042.104(g), 1042.230(d), 1042.302(c) and
(e), 1042.501(g), 1042.901, and 1042.910(b)(1)(ii).

Annex 12, Resolution MEPC.251(66) from the Report of the Marine
Environment Protection Committee on its Sixty-Sixth Session, April 25,
2014.  This document describes new and revised provisions that are
considered to be part of Annex VI and NOx Technical Code 2008 as
referenced in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section; into §§
1042.104(g), 1042.230(d), 1042.302(c) and (e), 1042.501(g), 1042.901,
and 1042.910(b)(1)(i) and (ii).

These standards were recently approved for part 1043, so we have not
included copies of the standards with this request.

NIST

NIST Special Publication 811, Guide for the Use of the International
System of Units (SI), 2008 Edition, March 2008; into §§ 1036.805
introductory text, 1036.810(c)(1), 1037.805 introductory text, and
1037.810(d)(1).  This is already IBRed into 40 CFR parts 1065 and 1066,
so we have not included a copy of the standard with this request.

SAE:

SAE J1025, Test Procedures for Measuring Truck Tire Revolutions Per
Kilometer/Mile, Stabilized August 2012; into §§ 1037.520(c)(1) and
1037.810(e)(1).

SAE J1252, SAE Wind Tunnel Test Procedure for Trucks and Buses, Revised
July 2012; into §§ 1037.525(b)(3), (c)(1)(i), and (c)(2)(v),
1037.530(a) intro and (a)(1), and 1037.810(e)(2).

SAE J1263 Road Load Measurement and Dynamometer Simulation Using
Coastdown Techniques, Revised March 2010; into §§ 1037.528
introductory text, (a), (b)(3)(ii), (c) introductory text, (c)(2), (e)
introductory text, and (h) introductory text, 1037.665(a)(2),
1037.810(e)(3), and 1066.305(a)(2).

SAE J1594, Vehicle Aerodynamics Terminology, Revised July 2010; into
§§ 1037.530(d) introductory text and 1037.810(e)(4).

SAE J1930, Electrical/Electronic Systems Diagnostic Terms, Definitions,
Abbreviations, and Acronyms, Revised October 2008; into §§ 1068.45(f)
and 1068.95(b)(1).

Tunnel Adjustment, Revised June 1994; into §§ 1037.530(b) and
1037.810(e)(5).

SAE J2263, Road Load Measurement Using Onboard Anemometry And Coastdown
Techniques, Revised December 2008; into §§ 1037.528 introductory text,
(a), (b)(3)(v), (d)(2), and (f) , 1037.665(a)(2), and 1037.810(e)(6).

SAE J2966, Guidelines for Aerodynamic Assessment of Medium and Heavy
Commercial Ground Vehicles Using Computational Fluid Dynamics, Issued
September 2013; into §§ 1037.532(a) introductory text and
1037.810(e)(9).

Note: SAE J1711 is already approved for §§ 600.011 and 600.116-12; we
are just redesignating lower-level paragraphs in § 600.116-12.  We also
reference SAE J1526 in § 1037.610(c) introductory text as a recommended
practice for measuring in-use fuel consumption.   

We are taking the opportunity to revise §§ 1043.100 and 1068.95 to
conform to the IBR guidance for centralized IBR sections.
