40 CFR 1068.225 — Exemptions for tactical military vehicles and equipment
Code of Federal Regulations
Overview
40 CFR 1068.225 provides a conditional exemption for engines used in tactical military vehicles or equipment when certified in accordance with applicable Department of Defense standards.
Repeal relevance: Documents that emissions rules are not applied uniformly. Tactical military use has an established exemption pathway; commercial freight and civilian passenger transport do not.
Counterargument: The exemption is conditional, not universal. Not every military vehicle qualifies; the exemption depends on tactical designation and DoD certification.

40 CFR 1068.225 · Open source
Engines used in tactical military vehicles or equipment may be exempted from otherwise-applicable emission standards where the exemption is required for reasons of national security and where the equipment meets the tactical-vehicle criteria in the section.
Establishes: A conditional emissions exemption pathway for tactical military engines.
Plain English: The government exempts its own tactical equipment from the same rules commercial trucking must meet. That mismatch is the readiness argument.
