Affidavit: Annual Delegated Assembly Emission Compliance 10-Minute Training Module 2015
2
INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Delegated Assembly: Annual Affidavit module. This course is intended to inform you about the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulation specified around Annual Affidavit Reporting. These Affidavits are required for any engine system requiring aftertreatment. Upon completion of this course, you will be familiar with the Cummins Inc. requirement to achieve compliance with the EPA delegated assembly provision for Aftertreatment. Cummins Confidential2 Prior to this course, it is recommended that you be familiar with CIRCUIT, Global Customer Engineering, the EBU Learning Management System, Distributor Portal and Emissions.cummins.com. These will be valuable tools in the compliance process. 2015

Annual Affidavit Requirement EPA requires the engine manufacturer (CMI) to ensure the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) follows delegated assembly provisions. A contractual, Regulatory Agreement obligates the OEM to provide an Annual Affidavit to Cummins Inc. This Agreement with the OEM obligates that entity to complete the final assembly of the engine in its certified configuration. It is to Cummins’ advantage to communicate this requirement thoughtfully to OEMs. Cummins Confidential3 2015

Timing of Annual Affidavit Process Cummins Product Certification & Compliance (PC&C) and the Engine Business Unit (EBU) will work with the Distribution Channel early each year. Once the Channel has direction, timely requests to the OEMs need to be sent, signed and gathered in the allotted timeframe. Signed & notarized Affidavits are due before the deadline, usually within 90 days of request, for the prior year’s sales. Cummins Confidential4 2015 90 days

Ramifications of not Complying Cummins Confidential11 Clean Air Act Civil penalties may be applied if this requirement is not followed. But the more imminent penalty is the loss of ordering capability until that Annual Affidavit is signed, notarized and returned to Cummins. Note: It is the OEM's responsibility to have such process, documentation and audit capability in place that the OEM knows the number of Aftertreatment matched to the number of engines built into its equipment for the previous year. 2015
12
Annual Affidavit Regulation Applicability YES –All OEMs/Distributors who complete final assembly of engine systems requiring Aftertreatment –The engine system must be set in its certified configuration at the conclusion of final assembly. NO –End Users –Customers receiving fully assembled engine systems –No engines purchased requiring Aftertreatment in the previous year Cummins Confidential12 2015
13
Annual Affidavit Exemption Use the Nonroad or On-Highway Affidavit Exemption Contract Type if: If a Distributor/OEM did not buy any engines requiring Aftertreatment in the previous year, or Only pre-assembled engine system units (e.g. assembled Cummins Power Products) purchased Click the Exemption box as applicable. –This check in RAWeb acknowledges no Delegated Assembly engines purchased for year in question. –This Exemption then allows ordering to proceed with the proper system checks in place.
