Compression Ignition (Diesel) Engines
If you intend to install a diesel engine (also known as a compression ignition internal combustion engine) and this engine was ordered after July 11, 2005 and manufactured after April 1, 2006 and is not a fire pump engine, then the engine is subject to federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) found under 40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII.. This regulation can be found at:
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR 60, Subpart IIII 
This federal NSPS also applies to diesel engines that are modified or reconstructed after July 11, 2005. For fire pump engines, the federal NSPS applies to engines ordered after July 1, 2006 that are manufactured as a certified National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) fire pump engine.
If the diesel engine is subject to NSPS Subpart IIII, and the engine will be used only for emergency use, then the Emergency Generator Application (191 kb) 
form should be used. Available in MS Word (438kb).
If the diesel engine is subject to NSPS Subpart IIII, and the engine will not be used for emergency use, then the Non-Emergency Generator Application (200 kb) form should be used. Available in MS Word (503kb).
Spark Ignition (Gasoline, Natural Gas, etc.) Engines
If you intend to install a gasoline engine or other type of spark ignition engine and this engine was ordered after June 12, 2006 and manufactured on or after the dates on the table below, the engine is subject to federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) found under 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ (Subpart JJJJ). This regulation can be found at:
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ

Engines with a maximum engine power less than 500 HP |
|
January 1, 2009 |
Emergency engines with a maximum engine power greater than 19 KW (25 HP) |
This federal NSPS also applies to spark ignited engines that are modified or reconstructed after June 12, 2006.
Although a specific application for engines subject to Subpart JJJJ has not yet been developed, the applicant must obtain a permit for these engines that meet the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ. The Division recommends that the applicant uses the Air Quality Permit - Short Form (77kb) available in MS Word (192kb). and use the manufacturer’s emission factors to estimate the emissions from the engine. The Division will evaluate the application to ensure that the engine meets the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ and will be permitted to comply with the NSPS standards if the application is approved.
Application for Non-NSPS Internal Combustion Engines
For emergency non-NSPS internal combustion engines, please use the application for Internal Combustion - Emergency Engine/Generator Application (254kb) Gasoline or diesel internal combustion emergency engine/generator permit application. Available in MS Word (377kb).
For non-emergency non-NSPS internal combustion engines, please use the application for Internal Combustion – Non-Emergency Engine/Generator Application (256kb) Gasoline or diesel internal combustion non-emergency engine/generator permit application Available in MS Word (377kb).
