TEAR Guide
The requirement to submit a TEAR is applicable to individuals and companies who elected to apply the transition engine provisions set out in section 13 of the Regulations in 2018 (i.e. imported and/or manufactured transition engines in 2018). The transition engine provisions allow, for certain periods of time, the import and manufacture of engines meeting either of the previous-tier standards (e.g. Tier 3 standards or the interim Tier 4 standards) if they are installed in or on a machine before the end of the set time frames. For more information on what a transition engine is, you may refer to the fact sheet.
Should you have any questions on the upcoming reporting deadline or the requirements under the Regulations, reach out to the Regulatory Administration Section and contact them directly.
