          Subject: Environmental Protection Agency. Control of Emissions of Air Pollution
                  from Nonroad Diesel Engines and Fuel

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), entitled
          Control of Emissions of Air Pollution from Nonroad Diesel Engines and Fuel (RIN:
          2060-AK27). We received the rule on May 13, 2004. It was published in the Federal
          Register as a final rule on June 29, 2004. 69 Fed. Reg. 38958.

          The final rule adopts new emission standards for nonroad diesel engines and sulfur
          reductions in nonroad diesel fuel. The comprehensive national program regulates
          nonroad diesel engines and diesel fuel as a system. New engine standards begin to
          take effect in the 2008 model year, phasing in over a number of years.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the EPA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that the EPA complied with the applicable requirements.

          If you have any questions about this report, please contact James W. Vickers,
          Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO
          evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule is Robert Robinson,
