AND POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW
PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT
CODE 11346.5(a)(3)
Sections Affected:
 Proposed amendments to
California Code of Regulations, title 17, sections
94010, 94011, and 94016, and proposed adoption of
new section 94017.CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2015, VOLUME NO. 10-Z
 402Documents Incorporated by Reference:
The following documents are proposed for amend-
ments and incorporated by reference in California Code
of Regulations, title 17, sections 94010, 94011, 94016,
and 94017.
1. Definitions for Vapor Recovery Procedures
(D–200), last amended January 9, 2013 (Section
94010).
2. Certification Procedure (CP–201) —  Certification
Procedure for Vapor Recovery Systems at
Gasoline Dispensing Facilities, last amended
January 9, 2013 (Section 94011).
3. Certification Procedure (CP–206) —  Certification
Procedure for Vapor Recovery Systems at
Gasoline Dispensing Facilities Using
Aboveground Storage Tanks, last amended May
27, 2014 (Section 94016).
The following document is a newly–proposed ARB–
drafted document that will be incorporated by reference
into the Vapor Recovery Systems at Gasoline Dispens-
ing Facilities Regulation.
4. Proposed New Certification Procedure (CP–207)
— Certification Procedure for Enhanced
Conventional (ECO) Nozzles and Low
Permeation Conventional Hoses for Use at
Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (Section 94017).
Summary of Current Laws, Background, and Effect
of the Proposed Rulemaking:
California’s existing vapor recovery laws control
emissions associated with the storage and transfer of
gasoline from storage tanks at terminals or bulk plantsto tanker trucks, from tanker trucks to storage tanks at
gasoline dispensing facilities (GDF), and from GDF
tank to the vehicle’s fuel tank during vehicle fueling.
ARB and the air pollution control/air quality manage-
ment districts (air districts) share responsibility for im-
plementing the vapor recovery program. ARB staff cer-
tifies prototype vapor recovery systems installed at op-
erating GDFs. State law requires that throughout
California only ARB–certified systems be offered for
sale, sold, and installed. Air district staff inspects and
tests the vapor recovery system upon installation during
the permit process and conducts regular inspections to
check that systems are operating as certified.
ARB staff is now proposing to make amendments to
several of the current vapor recovery certification pro-
cedures, and proposes adoption of a new certification
procedure for enhanced conventional nozzles.
Objectives and Benefits of the Proposed Regulatory
Action:
The proposed amendments to the certification proce-
dures would:1. Adopt new performance standards and
specifications for nozzles used at non–retail GDFsthat have been excluded by the air districts from
Phase II vapor recovery, because they fuel a fleet
of newer vehicles that process gasoline vapors
on–board the vehicles (on–board refueling vapor
recovery or ORVR). Establishing standards andspecifications for these nozzles, which are referred
to as Enhanced Conventional Nozzles (ECO
Nozzles), would promote consistency statewideand yield further reductions in emissions.
2. Amend requirements to allow for the continued
use of pre–Enhanced Vapor Recovery Phase Isystems on certain aboveground storage tanks
until the end of the useful life of those systems,
thereby improving cost–effectiveness while
achieving emission reductions in areas where they
are most needed.
3. Clarify existing requirements for manufacturers of
vapor recovery equipment used on underground
storage tanks, aboveground storage tanks, andORVR fleet fueling facilities. These clarifications
would better allow ARB staff to ensure that
mass–produced vapor recovery equipment
matches the performance standards and
specifications of the equipment as evaluatedduring ARB certification.
DETERMINATION OF INCONSISTENCY AND
INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING 
STATE REGULATIONS
During the process of developing the proposed regu-
latory action, ARB has conducted a search of any simi-
lar regulations on this topic and has concluded that these
regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible
with existing state regulations.
COMPARABLE FEDERAL REGULATIONS
There are no federal regulations that are directly com-
parable to California’s Enhanced Vapor Recovery(EVR) program for ASTs, and there are no federal regu-
lations establishing a maximum allowable spillage rate
from gasoline dispensing nozzles that refuel ORVR ve-hicles. However, U.S. EPA has promulgated federal
regulations mandating GDFs in certain areas outside of
California to install Stage I systems that are similar to
the Phase I systems certified by ARB. Other states or
countries often require the installation of vapor recov-ery systems certified by ARB. Thus, changes to ARB
EVR certification requirements may have a national
and international impact.CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2015, VOLUME NO. 10-Z
 403A V AILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS AND

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE
PROPOSED REGULATION
The determinations of the Board’s Executive Officer
concerning the costs or savings necessarily incurred bypublic agencies and private persons and businesses in
reasonable compliance with the proposed regulatory
action are presented below.Fiscal Impact 
/ Local Mandate 
Pursuant to Government Code sections
11346.5(a)(5) and 11346.5(a)(6), the Executive Officer
has determined that the proposed regulatory action
would create overall savings to both State and localagencies.
Overall, Staff estimates the proposed regulatory ac-
tion would save local governments about $1,102,566over five years. Staff estimates the statewide savings
associated with the proposed regulatory action would
be about $424,085 for state agencies over five years.
Depending on each regulated entity’s particular cir-
cumstances, the ECO Nozzle component of the pro-posed regulatory action could create some additional
costs for local governments and school districts that
maintain their own fleet of vehicles and which are cur-
rently allowed to operate with uncertified conventional
nozzles. The potential costs and savings associated withthe proposed regulatory action are described in greater
detail in the ISOR and Appendix G to the ISOR. If any
local government or school district’s costs increase as a
result of the proposed regulation, those costs would not
be reimbursable under Government Code 17500 et seq.This is because the proposed regulatory action would
apply generally to all entities in the state with equip-
ment that is subject to the regulation. So while the pro-
posed regulations would impose a mandate on local
agencies (and potentially on school districts), the pro-posed regulatory action would not result in a reimburs-
able state–mandated program.
The proposed regulatory action would not create any
cost or savings in federal funding to the state.
Significant Statewide Adverse Economic Impact
Directly Affecting Business,  Including Ability to
Compete
The Executive Officer has made an initial determina-
tion that the proposed regulatory action would not havea significant statewide adverse economic impact direct-
ly affecting businesses, including the ability of Califor-
nia businesses to compete with businesses in other
states, or on representative private persons.
Cost Impacts on Representative Private Persons or
Businesses 
In developing this regulatory proposal, ARB staff
evaluated the potential economic impacts on represen-
tative private persons or businesses. Certain businessesthat own aboveground storage tanks may experience a
savings as a result of the proposed regulation, which
would delay the existing requirement to install an EVR
Phase I system. The savings is estimated to be an aver-
age of $1,705 per affected AST, achieved through def-erred compliance costs and the avoidance of capital
losses. Businesses that operate a fueling facility that
serves a private fleet of vehicles equipped with on–CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2015, VOLUME NO. 10-Z
 404board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) may experi-
ence a cost of $335 or a savings of $920 over five yearsas a result of the ECO Nozzle provisions of the pro-
posed regulation. Whether a cost or savings occurs is
dependent on what type of dispensing equipment is cur-
rently required at the affected facility.
Result of the Economic Impact Analysis/Assessment
Prepared Pursuant to Government Code Section
11346.3(b) 
Effects on Jobs/Businesses:
The Executive Officer has determined that the pro-
posed regulatory action would not affect the creation orelimination of jobs within the State of California, the
creation of new businesses or elimination of existing
businesses within the State of California, or the expan-
sion of businesses currently doing business within the
State of California. A detailed assessment of the eco-nomic impacts of the proposed regulatory action can be
found in the ISOR.
Benefits of the Proposed Regulation:
The proposed regulation would improve cost effec-
tiveness of the current Phase I EVR requirement foraboveground tanks, while retaining emission reduc-
tions where most needed. The proposed ECO Nozzle
regulation would result in a cost savings and reduced
emissions. A summary of these benefits is provided;
please refer to “Objectives and Benefits,” under the In-formative Digest of Proposed Action and Policy State-
ment Overview Pursuant to Government Code
11346.5(a)(3) discussion on page 396 of this notice. Adetailed assessment of the cost savings of the proposed
regulatory action can be found in the Economic Impact
Analysis in the ISOR.
Effect on Small Business 
The Executive Officer has also determined, pursuant
to California Code of Regulations, title 1, section 4, that
the proposed regulatory action would result in a savings
for affected small businesses that own aboveground
storage tanks. Staff expects approximately 233 ASTs
owned by small businesses would be affected by theproposal. These businesses are expected to save
approximately $1,705 each, for a statewide total of
$397,265. No small businesses are expected to be af-
fected by the ECO Nozzle proposal.
Housing Costs
The Executive Officer has also made the initial deter-
mination that the proposed regulatory action will not
have a significant effect on housing costs.
Alternatives 
Before taking final action on the proposed regulatory
action, the Board must determine that no reasonable al-
ternative considered by the Board, or that has otherwise
been identified and brought to the attention of theBoard, would be more effective in carrying out the pur-
pose for which the action is proposed, or would be as ef-fective and less burdensome to affected private persons
than the proposed action, or would be more cost–
effective to affected private persons and equally effec-
tive in implementing the statutory policy or other provi-
sion of law. ARB staff considered alternatives to theproposed amendments, as described in section VII of
the Initial Statement of Reasons.
Environmental Analysis 
ARB, as the lead agency for the proposed regulatory
action, has prepared an environmental analysis (EA)
under its certified regulatory program (Cal. Code Regs.,tit. 17, §§60000 through 60008) to comply with the re-
quirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA; Public Resources Code section 21080.5).
The EA determined that the proposed regulatory action
would not result in any significant adverse impacts onthe environment. The basis for reaching this conclusion
is provided in Section IV of the ISOR. Written com-
ments on the EA will be accepted during a 45–day pub-
lic review period starting on March 6, 2015 and ending
at 5 p.m. on April 20, 2015.
