The ATCM allows in-use diesel engines that do not comply with any of the Tier 1-4 emissions standards - also referred to as "uncertified" or "Tier 0" Engines - to be operated up until a designated compliance date as long as the engines were registered with the local air pollution control agency. Tier 1 and Tier 2 engines need to be in compliance by the 2015-2016 timeframe, or 12 years after initial installation, whichever is later.
