AGENCY: International Trade Administration, DOC.
ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth a request for input from U.S.
businesses capable of exporting their goods or services relevant to
emissions control from non-road diesel engines. These engines are
utilized by machines that perform a wide range of functions, including
excavators and other construction equipment; farm tractors and other
agricultural equipment; heavy forklifts; airport ground service
equipment; and utility equipment such as generators, pumps, and
compressors. The Department of Commerce continues to develop the web-
based U.S. Environmental Solutions Toolkit to be used by foreign
environmental officials and foreign end-users of environmental
technologies that will outline U.S. approaches to a series of
environmental problems and highlight participating U.S. vendors of
relevant U.S. technologies. The Toolkit will support the President's
National Export Initiative by fostering export opportunities for the
U.S. environmental industry, as well as advancing global environmental
protection.
DATES: U.S. companies capable of exporting goods or services relevant
to the environmental issue outlined above that are interested in
participating in the U.S. Environmental Solutions Toolkit should self-
identify by December 31, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT).
