Sec.  1039.230  How do I select engine families?

    (a) Divide your product line into families of engines that are 
expected to have similar emission characteristics throughout the useful 
life. Your engine family is limited to a single model year.
    (b) Group engines in the same engine family if they are the same in 
all the following aspects:
    (1) The combustion cycle and fuel.
    (2) The cooling system (water-cooled vs. air-cooled).
    (3) Method of air aspiration.
    (4) Method of exhaust aftertreatment (for example, catalytic 
converter or particulate trap).
    (5) Combustion chamber design.
    (6) Bore and stroke.
    (7) Number of cylinders (for engines with aftertreatment devices 
only).
    (8) Cylinder arrangement (for engines with aftertreatment devices 
only).
    (9) Method of control for engine operation other than governing 
(i.e., mechanical or electronic).
    (10) Power category.
    (11) Numerical level of the emission standards that apply to the 
engine.
    (c) You may subdivide a group of engines that is identical under 
paragraph (b) of this section into different engine families if you show 
the expected emission characteristics are different during the useful 
life.
    (d) You may group engines that are not identical with respect to the 
things listed in paragraph (b) of this section in the same engine family 
if you show that their emission characteristics during the useful life 
will be similar.
    (e) If you combine engines from different power categories into a 
single engine family under paragraph (d) of this section, you must 
certify the engine family to the more stringent set of standards from 
the two power categories in that model year.
