(b) For the purpose of paragraph (a) of this section, a country having no standards, whatsoever, is deemed to be a country having emission standards which differ from EPA standards.

(c) EPA will maintain a list of foreign countries that have in force marine SI emission standards identical to U.S. EPA standards and have so notified EPA. This list may be obtained by writing to the following address: Manager, Engine Compliance Programs Group 6403-J, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.
