 Please consider adopting an exemption application protocol and
policy for business that must utilize non altered emissions systems
on small engines in hazardous life and death situations.  The dive
harvest commercial fishing industry utilizes small engines to power
"Air Breathing compressors" in salty, humid, wet  often very rough
weather marine environments. 

 Implementation of strict emissions and exhaust controls or
mandating battery powered small engines in the aforementioned
conditions can quickly render them very unreliable and extremely
dangerous during dive operations. 

 Please note:  Compromises to performance with small engines in
favor of emissions in hazardous conditions could lead to injury or
death in some occupational fields such as in commercial fishing
operations. 

By banning or limiting accessibility of small engines in the State
of California you would inadvertently force the use of inferior
parts, aftermarket or illegal replacement units which again can
unnecessarily put life in jeopardy in the event of failure.
 

SOME INDUSTRIES NEED TO BE EXEMPTED FROM THIS REGULATION/LAW.

Thank You for your consideration
