New Emission standards from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will take effect on July 31, 2011. This will affect gasoline powered vessels imported into the U.S. Manufacturers will have to comply with new fuel system designs with integrated components (canisters, fills, vents and valves) such as those available from PerkoFuelSystems.com. Included in the regulations is a transition program which allows manufacturers
a phased-in period to produce exempted vessels. HAVE YOU SUBMITTED YOUR NOTICE

US marine equipment manufacturer Perko and manufacturer's representative E&P Marine Inc awarded Brazilian distributor Regatta with Perko's first ever Top Distributor award at METS this week in Amsterdam.
The presentation took place on Tuesday at Perko's stand and celebrates 28 years of collaboration.
"We've been working with Regatta for almost 30 years," said Perko's vice president of marketing George Bellwoar. "This is the first time we've presented this award. We've never had good reason to before. It's very rare for us to do something like this."
Perko manufactures a wide range of marine equipment from deck hardware to navigation lights at its Miami facility.
"Some distributors struggle to carry a broad selection of Perko products, but Regatta carries a wide range. We're proud to have them as a distributor."
Regatta founder Paulo Veloso began the company with his business partner 28 years ago. The distributor has 10 retail stores - with plans for two more to open next year - and supplies both the boatbuilder and end user, even selling boats.
"We've really seen the Brazilian marine industry develop," said Veloso. "The boom in Brazil is not as profound as everyone says it is, but compared with the crash felt in other countries then Brazil is doing very well. After a dip in 2009 we're already back up to 2008 levels, which was a fantastic year."
Vice president of E&P Marine Miguel Vasallo has seen an increase in the number of American companies looking to export since the crisis.
"We used to only represent US manufacturers in the Caribbean and in South America, but two years ago our representation went worldwide," says Vasallo. "The Pacific Ring is doing well, Australia in particular, and the Middle East is still very interesting."
