Background and Effect of the Proposed
Rulemaking:
California Vehicle Code section 27156 generally pro-
hibits the sale, offer for sale, advertisement, or installa-tion of any devices that alter the design or performanceof any required motor vehicle pollution control deviceor system. ARB has the statutory authority to exemptnon–original equipment components from this prohibi-tion if it determines that such components will not re-duce the effectiveness of any required pollution controldevice or would not cause vehicle emissions to exceedapplicable standards. Under this authority, ARB hasadopted regulations applicable to aftermarket parts andhas adopted provisions specifically applicable to after-
market catalytic converters for passenger cars and
light–and medium–duty vehicles, and to aftermarketcritical emission control parts for on–highway motor-cycles. Emission control devices (e.g., diesel particu-late filters (DPF)) to control emissions from on–roadheavy–duty diesel engines and vehicles have not beenpreviously addressed. Consequently, ARB’s existingaftermarket parts provisions are not directly applicableto non–original equipment manufacturer (OEM) after-market emission control devices for on–road heavy–duty diesel engines, like diesel oxidation catalysts
(DOC), DPFs, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR).
In this rulemaking action, ARB staff proposes the
Board approve for adoption an evaluation procedurethat establishes the criteria for assessing whether after-market DPFs for 2007 through 2009 model year on–road heavy–duty diesel engines meet the criteria to beexempted from the anti–tampering prohibitions of Ve-hicle Code section 27156. The proposed procedure willprovide manufacturers that elect to manufacture after-market DPFs a legal pathway to market and sell suchdevices and will provide consumers a lower cost option
than purchasing new OEM DPFs. Although participa-
tion in this program would be voluntary, in that nomanufacturers would have to manufacture aftermarketDPFs, several companies have already expressed inter-est in the proposal.
The proposed evaluation procedure is solely applica-
ble to aftermarket DPFs, and is not designed to addressthe unique considerations applicable to other emissioncontrols used on heavy–duty diesel engines, such asdiesel oxidation catalysts or selective catalytic reduc-
tion systems.
Objectives and Benefits of the Proposed Regulatory
Action: 
The primary purpose of this proposed regulatory ac-
tion is to establish a procedure that will allow ARB to
evaluate whether aftermarket DPFs for 2007 through
2009 model year on–road heavy–duty diesel enginesmeet the criteria to be exempted from the anti–tamper-
ing prohibitions of Vehicle Code section 27156. Be-
cause of the unique characteristics of DPFs, the pro-
posed procedure not only considers the basic concepts
of modified parts (i.e., no reduction to engine/vehicleeffectiveness and does not cause emissions to exceed
applicable standards), but also includes: provisions to
ensure aftermarket DPFs are effective emission control
devices, including but not limited to, safety consider-
ations; a detailed submission, review, and approval pro-cess; and protections for the end user, which include
warranty, audit, and recall with required recordkeeping.
The proposed regulatory amendment requires that
the product be warranted to be free from defects for 2
years from the date of installation. Additionally, install-ers would be required to provide an installation warran-
ty for 2 years from the date of installation.
The most significant benefit to this procedure is to the
end users, which include those regulated by ARB fleet
rules. The proposed regulatory amendment wouldintroduce flexibility to the marketplace, allowing end
users more choice in obtaining a replacement for their
OEM DPF. Due to marketplace competition, aftermar-
ket DPFs are expected to sell for a lower price than
OEM DPFs, thus providing a cost savings to the enduser. The availability of lower cost DPFs may cause
more timely replacement of failed DPFs, ensuring con-
tinued emission benefits.
Comparable Federal Regulations: 
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA) has adopted regulations applicable to after-market parts in the Code of Federal Regulations, title
40, part 85. However, these regulations establish only a
voluntary self–certification program. In contrast,
ARB’s aftermarket parts regulations require aftermar-
ket part manufacturers to receive and obtain an exemp-tion before they can sell parts in California.
Any aftermarket emission control device is covered
under U.S. EPA’s 1974 “Interim Tampering Enforce-
ment Policy” (Memo 1A). Aftermarket catalytic con-
verters are legal for sale federally under an enforcementpolicy established by U.S. EPA in 1986, but the policy
does not constitute a regulation. This policy addressed
issues regarding aftermarket converters for light–dutyCALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2016, VOLUME NO. 10-Z
 339vehicles and light–duty trucks, but not aftermarket
emission control devices for diesel engines such as die-sel particulate filters.
An Evaluation of Inconsistency and Incompatibility
with Existing State  Regulations (Gov. Code,
§ 11346.5, subd. (a)(3)(D):
During the process of developing the proposed regu-
latory action, ARB searched any similar regulations on
this topic and concluded these regulations are neither
inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state
regulations.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE
PROPOSED REGULATION
Fiscal Impact/Local Mandate Determination
Regarding the Proposed Action  (Gov. Code,
§ 11346.5, subds. (a)(5)&(6)): 
The determinations of the Board’s Executive officer
concerning the costs or savings incurred by public
agencies and private persons and business in reasonable
compliance with the proposed regulatory action are
presented below.
Local Mandate (Gov. Code, § 11346.5, subd. (a)(5)):  
The Executive Officer has determined that the pro-
posed regulatory action would not create costs or sav-
ings to any local agency or school district, whether or
not reimbursable by the State under Government Code,
title 2, division 4, part 7 (commencing with section17500), or other nondiscretionary cost or savings to
State or local agencies.
Cost to any Local Agency or School District
Requiring Reimbursement (Gov. Code, § 17500 et
seq.):  
The Executive has determined there are no reimburs-
able costs to any local agency or school district because
of this proposal.
Cost or savings for State Agencies: 
ARB’s estimated administrative costs will be
$580,000 for the next 2 years, as specified in the Eco-
nomic and Fiscal Impacts Statement (Form 399) pre-
pared for this proposed regulatory action. The only sav-
ings that might result would be if an agency purchased
aftermarket DPFs for any state–owned vehicles.
Other Non–Discretionary Costs or Savings on Local
Agencies: 
The Executive Officer has determined there are no
non–discretionary costs or savings to local agencies.
Costs or Savings in Federal Funding to the State: 
Under Government Code sections 11346.5, subdivi-
sion (a) and 11346.5, subdivision (a)(6), the Executive
Officer has determined that the proposed regulatory ac-tion would not create costs or savings in federal funding
to the State.
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.
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 have
a significant statewide adverse economic impact direct-
ly affecting businesses, including the ability of Califor-
nia businesses to compete with businesses in otherstates, or on representative private persons.
Results of the Economic Impact
Analysis/Assessment (Gov. Code, § 11346.5,
subdivision (a)(10)): 
NON–MAJOR REGULATION: Statement of the
Results of the Economic Impact Assessment (EIA):
Effect on Jobs/Businesses: 
The Executive Officer has determined that the pro-
posed regulatory action would affect the creation orelimination of jobs within the State of California. Some
aftermarket DPF manufacturers and installers may ex-
pand and create jobs because of the introduction of af-termarket DPFs into the marketplace. On balance, the
proposal is expected to result in a small net gain in jobs.
The Executive Officer has determined that the pro-
posed regulatory action would not affect the creation of
new businesses or the elimination of existing busi-nesses within the State of California.
Existing Businesses currently doing business within
the State of California that manufacture, sell, or install
verified devices (retrofit DPFs) for older engines may
expand their businesses to accommodate aftermarketDPFs. In addition, OEM installers that do not have ex-
clusive agreements with OEMs may expand to accom-
modate aftermarket DPFs.
A detailed assessment of the economic impacts of the
proposed regulatory action can be found in the InitialStatement of Reasons (ISOR).
Benefits of the Proposed Regulation:
The objective of the proposed regulatory action is to
provide a clear path for device manufacturers interested
in selling aftermarket DPFs intended as modified partsin California and to provide end users another option in
the marketplace to replace failed DPFs on 2007–2009
on–road heavy–duty diesel engines originally equipped
with a DPF after expiration of the warranty period,
while still maintaining end user protections in the formof recordkeeping, warranty, recall, and audit require-
ments. Having alternative sources of DPFs intended as
substitutes for OEM parts is expected to result in a moreCALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2016, VOLUME NO. 10-Z
 340competitive market place and reduce the costs of DPFs
to the end user. A summary of these benefits is pro-
vided, please refer to “Objectives and Benefits,” underthe Informative Digest of Proposed Action and PolicyStatement Overview Pursuant to Government Code11346.5, subdivision (a)(3) discussion on page five.
Business Report (Gov. Code, 
§11346.5, subd.
(a)(11); 11346.3, subd. (d)):
Under Government Code sections 11346.3, subdivi-
sion (c) and 11346.5, subdivision (a)(11), the ExecutiveOfficer finds the reporting requirements in the regulato-ry proposal, which would apply to businesses, are nec-essary for the health, safety, and welfare of the people ofthe State of California. The proposed reporting require-ments are necessary to ensure manufacturer com-
pliance with the proposed procedure, particularly war-
ranty obligations, and to protect end users in case of arecall.
Cost Impacts on Representative Private Persons or
Businesses (Gov. Code,  § 11346.5, subd. (a)(9)): 
In developing this regulatory proposal, ARB staff
evaluated the potential economic impacts on represen-
tative private persons or businesses. The ARB is notaware of any cost impacts that a representative privateperson would incur because of the proposed action. Re-garding businesses, participation is voluntary and con-tingent on the fact the company wishes to sell in Califor-nia. No manufacturer is required to participate. If nocompanies participate, there is no cost to the regulation.
Businesses who participate would incur costs, as de-
tailed in the ISOR. Manufacturers and installers wouldnot participate unless they expect to realize a major eco-nomic benefit based on the sale and service of theproducts.
Effect on Small Business (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 1, §
4,
subds. (a) and (b)):
The Executive Officer has also determined, under
California Code of Regulations, title 1, section 4, thatthe proposed regulatory action might affect small busi-nesses, including DPF manufacturers, authorized in-stallers, and end users of these modified parts. Onlymanufacturers and installers who produce, install, andservice these devices would incur costs, and they wouldnot participate if they did not expect to realize an eco-
nomic benefit. The end user has no imposed costs and
may benefit from the option to purchase a lower costDPF.
Alternatives Statement (Gov. Code, § 11346.5, subd.
(a)(13)): 
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 otherwisebeen identified and brought to the attention of the Board
would be more effective in carrying out the purpose forwhich the action is proposed, or would be as effective
and less burdensome to affected private persons than
the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to
affected private persons and equally effective in imple-
menting the statutory policy or other provisions of law.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
ARB, as the lead agency under the California Envi-
ronmental Quality Act (CEQA), has reviewed the pro-
posed regulatory action and concluded that it is exempt
under CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty there is no
possibility that the proposed action may cause signifi-
cant adverse impact on the environment. A brief ex-planation of the basis for reaching this conclusion is in-
cluded in Section V of the ISOR.
