For nonhandheld equipment, any equipment manufacturer whose production of nonhandheld equipment subject to regulation under this part or powered by engines regulated under this part, does not exceed 5,000 pieces for a given model year or annual production period excluding that equipment intended for introduction into commerce for use in a state that has established its own emission requirements applicable to such equipment or engines in such equipment, pursuant to a waiver granted by EPA under section 209(e) of the Clean Air Act.

For manufacturers owned by a parent company, this production limit applies to the production of the parent company and all its subsidiaries.\n\n3.
