The Board also approved the ad option of new sections 1961.2 and 1961.3 in the California Code of Regulations, title 13, and new "California 2015 and Subsequent
Model Criteria Pollutant Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures and 2017 and Subsequent Model Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards and Test

### 2 Procedures for Passen ger Cars, Light

- Duty Trucks, and Medium

- Duty Vehicles" incorporated by reference therein, and amendment of the following document incorporated by reference therein: "California Non

- Methane Organic Gas Test Procedures," as last amended July 30, 2002.

Tog ether, t hese amendments reduce emissions of criteria pollutants from new light

- and

medium

- duty vehicles by: reducing fleet average emissions from new passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, and medium

- duty passenger vehicles to super ultra

- low

- emission

vehicle levels by 2025; replacing separate non

- methane organic gas (NMOG) and oxides of nitrogen standards (NOx) with combined NMOG plus NOx standards; increasing full useful life durability requirements from 120,000 miles to 150,000 miles, which guarantees vehic les operate longer at these proposed extremely low emission particulate levels; creating a backstop to assure continued production of super

- ultra

- low

emission vehicles after partial zero

- emission vehicles as a category are moved from the

Zero

- Emission Vehi cle program to the LEV III program in 2018; establishing more stringent particulate matter standards for light

- and medium

- duty vehicles; establishing zero fuel evaporative emission standards for passenger cars and light

- duty trucks, and more stringent eva porative standards for medium

- duty vehicles; establishing more stringent supplemental federal test procedure (SFTP) standards for passenger cars and light

- duty trucks; and, for the first time, requiring medium

- duty vehicles to meet SFTP

standards. Other m inor amendments (e.g., in

- use verification testing requirements, reporting requirements, etc.) are proposed to align existing related procedures with the principal amendments.

The amendments also establish more stringent greenhouse gas regulations that: are comprised of three emission standards; a carbon dioxide ( CO 2 

### ) standard, a methane

standard and a nitrous oxide standard; use a footprint

- based approach to reduce
emissions fr om new light

- duty vehicles and medium

- duty passenger vehicles; provide credits for improvements to the vehicle air conditioning system (either from the use of a refrigerant with a low Global Warming Potential or by incorporating improvements to the

efficie ncy of the system); provide credits for technologies that reduce CO 2 

### emissions but are not measured on the applicable test cycles; and provide credits for technology innovations on the largest of pickup trucks

.

At the hearing, the staff presented, and the Board approved modifications to the regulations originally proposed in the Staff Report released on December 7, 2011 , in response to comments received after the Staff Report was published. These

modifications include: allow ing 2015

- 2019 MY LEV II vehicle s to certify to combined NMOG+NOx standards instead of separate NMOG and NOx standards ; allow ing manufacturers to meet the phase

- in requirements for the LEV III medium

- duty vehicle particulate standards based on a percentage of the combined sales of medium

- duty vehicles weighing 8,501 to 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating ( GVWR ) and

medium

- duty vehicles weighing 10,001 to 14,000 pounds GVWR, rather than separate percentages for the 2 weight classes ; allow ing early compliance with 150,000

- mile SFTP standards for model year 2014 vehicles ; requir ing LEV III flex

- fueled vehicles to

### 3 test only on LEV III certification gasoline ; allow ing interim in

- use SFTP emission standards for new certifications through the 2020 model year ; add ing NMOG+NOx fleet average standards for the 2014 model year ; allow ing manufacturers to use projected

sales data rather than actual sales data to determine the minimum number of LEV III

super

- ultra

- low

- emission vehicles they must produce in the 2018 and subsequent model

years ; allow ing vehicles certified to federal standards to be included in the fleet average NMOG+NOx calculation based on the actual standards to which they certify ; eliminat ing the requirement that a manufacturer that elects to pool its emissions

-- from vehicles sold in California, with those of other states adopting California’s standards under section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7507)

-- report that selection to ARB prior to the start of each model year t o which that selection applies ; revis ing the provisions for trading evaporative emission fleet

- average credits among certain vehicle categories ; allow ing manufacturers to use projected sales data rather than actual sales

data to determine the minimum numbe r of vehicles they must produce in the 2015

- 2017 model years that meet the proposed evaporative emission standards and base compliance for this requirement upon the average number of vehicles produced over

the 2015

- 2017 time period in lieu of a year

- by

- yea r requirement ; modify ing the section

177 state pooling compliance option to specifically set forth required submittal information and to reduce the Executive Officer notification requirement ; allow ing optional early compliance in the 2014 model year with t he proposed evaporative

emission standards ; and r evis ing the refueling exemption for incomplete medium

- duty

vehicles

.

§ 1900. Definitions.

* * * *

(b) In addition to the definitions incorporated under subdivision (a), the following definitions shall govern the provisions of this chapter.

* * * *

(22) “Small volume manufacturer” means, with respect to the 2001 and subsequent model

- years, a manufacture r with California sales less than 4,500 new passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, medium

- duty vehicles, heavy

- duty vehicles and heavy

- duty engines based on the average number of vehicles sold for the three previous consecutive model years for which a manufact urer seeks certification as a small volume manufacturer; however, for manufacturers certifying for the first time in
California model

- year sales shall be based on projected California sales. A
manufacturer’s California sales shall consist of all vehicles or engines produced by the manufacturer and delivered for sale in California, except that vehicles or engines produced by the manufacturer and marketed in California by another manufacturer under the other manufacturer’s nameplate shall be treated as Calif ornia sales of the marketing manufacturer. Except as provided in the next paragraph

, beginning with for

the 2009 through 2017 model year s , the annual sales from different firms shall be aggregated in the following situations: (1) vehicles produced by two or more firms, one of which is 10% or greater part owned by another; or (2) vehicles produced by any two or more firms if a third party h as equity ownership of 10% or more in each of the firms; or (3) vehicles produced by two or more firms having a common corporate officer(s) who is (are) responsible for the overall direction of the companies; or (4) vehicles imported or distributed by all any firms where the vehicles are manufactured by the same entity and the importer or distributor is an authorized agent of the entity. Notwithstanding the provisions of th is paragraph, upon application to the Executive Officer, a manufacturer may be class ified as a “small volume manufacturer” for the 2015 through 2017 model years if the Executive Officer determines that it is operationally independent of the firm that owns 10% or more of the applicant or has a greater than 10% equity ownership in the appli cant based on the criteria provided in the last paragraph of this subsection (b)(22)

.

F or purposes of compliance with the zero

- emission vehicle requirements, heavy

- duty vehicles and engines shall not be counted as part of a manufacturer’s sales. F or
pu rposes of applying the 2005 and subsequent through 2017 model year zero

- emission vehicle requirements for small

- volume manufacturers under sections 1962(b) and 1962.1(b), the annual sales from different firms shall be aggregated in the case of (1)

### vehicles produced by two or more firms, each one of which either has a greater than 50% equity ownership in another or is more than 50% owned by another; or (2) vehicles produced by any two or more firms if a third party has equity ownership of greater than

50% in each firm. Notwithstanding the provisions of th is paragraph, upon application to the Executive Officer, a manufacturer may be classified as a “small volume

manufacturer” for the 2015 through 2017 model years if the Executive Officer

determines that it is operationally independent of the firm that owns 5 0% or more of the applicant or has a greater than 5 0% equity ownership in the applicant based on the

criteria provided in the last paragraph of this subsection (b)(22)

.

Except as provided in the nex t pa ragraph, f F or the 2018 and subsequent model years, the annual sales from different firms shall be aggregated in the following situations: (1) vehicles produced by two or more firms, one of which is 33.4% or greater part owned by another; or (2) vehicles p roduced by any two or more firms if a third party has equity ownership of 33.4% or more in each of the firms; or (3) vehicles produced by two or more firms having a common corporate officer(s) who is (are) responsible for the overall direction of the compa nies; or (4) vehicles imported or distributed by any firms where the vehicles are manufactured by the same entity and the importer or distributor is an authorized agent of the entity. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, upon application to the Executive Officer, a manufacturer may be classified as a “small

volume manufacturer” for the 2018 and subsequent model years if the Executive Officer determines that it is operationa lly independent of the firm that owns 33.4% or more of the applicant or has a greater than 33.4% equity ownership in the applicant based on the criteria provided in the last paragraph of this subsection (b)(22).

For the purposes of this paragraph, all man ufacturers whose annual sales are aggregated together under the provisions of this subsection (b)(22) shall be defined as

“related manufacturers.” Notwithstanding such aggregation, t he Executive Officer may make a determination of operational independence if all of the following criteria are met for at least 24 months preceding the application submittal: (1) for the t hree years preceding the year in which the initial application is submitted, the average California sales for the applicant does not exceed 4 ,500 vehicles per year; (2) no financial or other support of economic value is provided by related manufacturers for purposes of design, parts procurement, R&D and production facilities and operation, and any other

transactions between related manufacturer s are conducted under normal commercial arrangements like those conducted with other parties, at competitive pricing rates to the manufacturer; (3) related manufacturers maintain separate and independent research and development, testing, and production fa cilities; (4) related manufacturers do not use any vehicle powertrains or platforms developed or produced by related manufacturers; (5) patents are not held jointly with related manufacturers; (6) related manufacturers maintain separate business administra tion, legal, purchasing, sales, and marketing departments, as well as autonomous decision

- making on commercial matters; (7) the overlap of the Board of Directors between related manufacturers is limited to 25% with no sharing of top operational management, including president, chief executive officer,

### chief financial officer, and chief operating officer, and provided that no individual overlapping director or combination of overlapping directors exercises exclusive management control over either or both com panies; and (8) parts or components supply between related companies must be established through open market process, and to the extent that the manufacturer sells parts/components to non

- related manufacturers, it does so through the open market a competit ive pricing. Any manufacturer applying for operational independence must submit to ARB an Attestation Engagement from an independent certified public accountant or firm of such accountants verifying the accuracy of the information contained in the applica tion, as defined by and in accordance with the procedures established in 40 C.F.R. §80.125 , as last amended January 19, 2007 , which is incorporated herein by reference. The applicant must submit information to update any of the above eight criteria as mat erial changes to any of the criteria occur. If there are no material changes to any of the criteria, the applicant

must certify that to the Executive Officer annually . With respect to any such changes, the Executive Officer may consider extraordinary con ditions (e.g., changes to economic conditions, unanticipated market changes, etc.) and may continue to find the applicant to be operationally independent. In the event that a manufacturer loses eligibility as a

“small volume manufacturer” after a material change occurs, the manufacturer must begin compliance with the primary emissions program in the third model year after the model year in which the manufacturer loses its eligibility. The Executive Officer may, in

hi s or her discretion, re

- establish lost “small volume manufacturer” status if the manufacturer shows that it has met the operational independence criteria for three consecutive years.

. Ad opt new title 13, CCR, section 1961.2 to read as follows: (Note: the entire text of

section 1961. 2 set forth below is new language proposed to be added to the California Code of Regulations.)

§ 1961.2. Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures

- 201 5 and Subsequent Model Passenger Cars, Light

- Duty Trucks, and Medium

- Duty

Vehicles.

Introduction. This section 1961.2 contains the California “LEV III” exhaust emission standards for 2015 and subsequent model year passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, and

medium

- duty vehicles. A manufacturer must demonstrate compliance with the exhaust standards in subsection (a) applicable to specific test groups, and with the composite phase

- in requirements in subsection (b) applica ble to the manufacturer’s entire fleet.

Before the 2015 model year, a manufacturer that produces vehicles that meet the standards in subsection (a) has the option of certifying the vehicles to those standards, in which case the vehicles will be treated as LEV III vehicles for purposes of the fleet

wid e phase

- in requirements. Similarly, 2015

- 2019 model

- year vehicles may be certified to the “LEV II” exhaust emission standards in subsection 1961(a)(1), in which case the vehicles will be treated as LEV II vehicles for purposes of the fleet

- wide phase

in requirements.

A manufacturer has the option of certifying engines used in incomplete and diesel

medium

- duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of greater than 10,000 lbs. GVW to the heavy

- duty engine standards and test procedures set forth i n title 13, CCR, subsections 1956.8(c) and (h). All medium

- duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than or equal to 10,000 lbs. GVW, including incomplete otto

- cycle

medium

- duty vehicles and medium

- duty vehicles that use diesel cycle engin es, must be certified to the LEV III chassis standards and test procedures set forth in this section

1961.2.

Pooling Provision

.

For each model year, a manufacturer must demonstrate compliance with this section

1961.2 based on one of two options applicabl e throughout the model year, either: Option 1: the total number of passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, and medium

duty vehicles that are certified to the California exhaust emission standards in subsection (a) and subsection 1961(a)(1), and are produced and delivered for sale in California; or Option 2: the total number of passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, and medium

duty vehicles that are certified to the California exhaust emission standards in subsection (a) and subsection 1961(a)(1), and are produced an d delivered for sale in California, the District of Columbia, and all states that have adopted California's criteria

### pollutant emission standards set forth in this section 1961.2 for that model year pursuant to section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7507).

A manufacturer that selects compliance Option 2 must notify the Executive Officer of that selection in writing prior to the start of the applicable model year or must comply with Option 1. Once a manufacturer has selected compliance Optio n 2, that selection applies unless the manufacturer selects Option 1 and notifies the Executive Officer of that selection in writing before the start of the applicable model year.

When a manufacturer is demonstrating compliance using Option 2 for a given model year, the term "in California" as used in this section 1961.2 means California, the District of Columbia, and all states that have adopted California's criteria pollutant emission standards set forth in this section 1961.2 for that model year p ursuant to Section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7507).

6 Calculation of Fleet Average Total NMOG+NOx Credits or Debits. A manufacturer shall calculate the total

NMOG+NOx credits or debits, as follows:

[(NMOG+NOx Composite Emission Standard)

– (Manufacturer’s Sales

- Weighted Fleet

- Average Composite Emission Value)] x (Total Number of Vehicles Produced and Delivered for Sale in California in the 0

- 8,500 lbs GVWR plus MDPVs classes, if applicable) [Eq. 3]

A negative number constitutes total NMOG+NOx debits, and a positive number constitutes total NMOG+NOx credits accrued by the manufacturer for the given model year. Total NMOG+NOx credits earned in a given model year retain full value through the fifth model year after they are earned. At the beginning of the sixth model year, the total NMOG+NOx credits have no value. A manufacturer may trade

credits with other manufacturers

A manufacturer shall equalize total NMOG+NOx debits within three model years after they have been incurred by earn ing NMOG+NOx credits in an amount equal to the total NMOG+NOx debits. If total NMOG+NOx debits are not equalized within the three model

- year period, the manufacturer is subject to the Health and Safety Code section 43211 civil penalty applicable to a manu facturer which sells a new motor vehicle that does not meet the applicable emission standards adopted by the state board. The cause of action shall be deemed to accrue when the total NMOG+NOx debits are not equalized by the end of the specified time perio d. For the purposes of Health and Safety Code section 43211, the number of vehicles not meeting the state board’s emission standards is determined by dividing the NMOG+NOx debits for the model year by the NMOG+NOx composite emission standard in effect dur ing the model year

in which the debits were incurred.

7 Calculating the CO composite emission value. Composite emission values for CO shall be calculated in

accordance with Equation 1 above

. Unlike the NMOG+NOx composite emission standards, manufacturers would not be able to meet the proposed CO composite emission standard through fleet averaging : e ach individual test group must comply with the standard. Test groups certified to 4,000

- mile
SFTP emission standar ds are not subject to this CO emission standard.

Hydrocarbon credits earned in a given model year shall retain full value through the fifth model year after they are earned. At the beginning
of the sixth model year, the hydrocarbon credits will have no value.

(2) Procedure for Offsetting Hydrocarbon Debits . A manufacturer shall offset hydrocarbon debits with hydrocarbon credits for each emission standard category within three model years after the debits have been incurred. If total hydrocarbon debits are not equalized within three model years after they have been incurred, the manufacturer shall be subject to the Health and Safety Code section 43211 civil penalties applicable to a manufacture r which sells a new motor vehicle that does not meet the applicable emission standards adopted by the state board. The cause of action shall be deemed to accrue when the hydrocarbon debits are not equalized by the end of the specified time period. For

th e purposes of Health and Safety Code section 43211, the number of vehicles not meeting the state board’s emission standards shall be determined by dividing the total amount of hydrocarbon debits for the model year in the emission standard category by the a pplicable hydrocarbon emission standard for the model year in which the debits were first incurred.

Additionally, a manufacturer may use the excess hydrocarbon credits from the emission standard categories of (1) passenger cars and light

- duty trucks 6,000 pounds GVWR and under, and 0

- 3,750 pounds LVW and (2) light

- duty trucks 6,000 pounds GVWR and under, and 3,751

– 5,750 pounds LVW to equalize the hydrocarbon debits that remain at the end of the three model year offset period of any emission standard ca tegory. to equalize the hydrocarbon debits that remain at the end of the three model year offset period: (1) hydrocarbon credits may be exchanged between passenger cars and light

- duty trucks 6,000 pounds GVWR and under and 0

- 3,750 pounds LVW , and light

- du ty trucks 6,000 pounds GVWR and under and 3,751

- 5,750 pounds LVW and (2) hydrocarbon credits may be exchanged between light

- duty trucks 6,001

- 8,500 pounds GVWR and medium

- duty passenger vehicles, and medium

- duty vehicles and heavy

- duty vehicles.

6 Vehicle Canister Bleed Emission . Compliance with the canister bleed emission standard shall be determined based on the Bleed Emission Test Procedure described in the “California Evaporative Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2001 and Subsequent Model Mot or Vehicles,” incorporated by reference in section 1976(c), and demonstrated on a stabilized canister system.

Vehicles with a non

- integrated refueling canister

- only system are exempt from the canister bleed

emission standard.



### 2. Phase

For e ach model year, a manufacturer shall certify, at a minimum, the specified percentage of its vehicle fleet to the evaporative emission standards set forth in section 1976(b)(1)(G)1.a. or section 1976(b)(1)(G)1.b., according to the schedule set forth below. For the purpose of this section 1976(b)(1)(G)2., the manufacturer's vehicle fleet consists of the vehicles produced and delivered for sale by the manufacturer in California that are subject to the emission standards in section 1976(b)(1)(G)1. All 2015 through 2022 model motor vehicles that are not subject to these standards pursuant to the phase

2022 and subsequent 100

1 For the 2018 through 2022 model years only, a manufacturer may use an alternate phase

- in schedule
to comply with the phase

- in requirements. An alternate phase

- in schedule must achieve equivalent compliance volume by the end of the last model year of the scheduled phase

- in (2022). The compliance volume is the number calculated by multiplying the percent of vehicles (based on the manufacturer’s projected sales volume of all vehicles) meeting the new requirements in each model
year by the number of years implemented prior to and inclu ding the last model year of the scheduled
phase

- in, then summing these yearly results to determine a cumulative total. The cumulative total of the five year (60/60/80/80/100) scheduled phase

- in set forth above is calculated as follows: (60*5 years) + (60* 4 years) + (80*3 years) + (80*2 years) + (100*1 year) = 1040. Accordingly, the required
cumulative total for any alternate phase

- in schedule of these emission standards is 1040. The Executive Officer shall consider acceptable any alternate phase

- in sched ule that results in an equal or larger cumulative total by the end of the last model year of the scheduled phase

- in (2022).

2 Small volume manufacturers are not required to comply with the phase

- in schedule set forth in this table. Instead, they shall cer tify 100 percent of their 2022 and subsequent model year vehicle fleet to the evaporative emission standards set forth in section 1976(b)(1)(G)1.a. or section 1976(b)(1)(G)1.b.

3 T he percentage of vehicle fleet averaged across the 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years shall be used

to determine compliance with this requirement

.

3 4 The minimum percentage required in the 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years is determined by averaging the percentage of vehicles certified to the emission standards in section 1976(b)(1)(E) in each of the manufacturer’s 2012, 2013, and 2014 model year vehicle fleets. For the purpose of calculating this averag e, a manufacturer shall use the percentage of vehic les produced and delivered
for sale in California for the 2012

, and 2013 , and 2014 model years , and the percentage of projected sales in California for the 2014 model year.

. A manufacturer may calculate this average percentage using the projected sales for these model years in lieu of actual sales.

* * * *

2.1.4 Delete subparagraph (6); replace with: Air to Fuel Ratio Requirement. With the exception of cold

- start conditions, warm

- up conditions and rapid

- throttle motion conditions (“tip

- in” or “tip

- out” conditions), the air to fuel ratio shall not be richer at any time than, for a given engine operating condition (e.g., engine spee d, manifold pressure, coolant temperature, air charge temperature, and any other parameters), the leanest air to fuel mixture required to obtain maximum torque (lean best torque), with a tolerance of three six percent of the fuel consumption

. The emission control system shall remain in the operating mode producing the best balance of HC, CO, and NOx catalyst efficiency (e.g. closed loop/stoichiometric operation on 3

- way catalyst systems) under all conditions, except when required for engine com ponent temperature protection, driver power request, start enrichment requirements, fuel shut

- off situations (decelerations, rev limiter, torque management, etc.), or certain component malfunctions preventing safe closed

- loop operation. The Executive

Offi cer may approve a manufacturer's request for approval to use additional enrichment in subsequent testing if the manufacturer demonstrates that additional enrichment is needed to protect the vehicle, occupants, engine, or emission control hardware.

* * * *

2.1.6 Delete subparagraph (8); replace with: Small Volume Provisions. Small volume manufacturers of PCs, LDTs, and MDVs shall certify 100% of their PC, LDT, and MDV fleet in 2022 and subsequent model years under the 150,000

### 1.2.2.1.2 SFTP NMOG+NOx and CO Composite Exhaust

Emission Standards. For the 2015 and subsequent model years, a manufacturer must certify LEV II and LEV III LEVs, ULEVs, and SULEVs, such that the

manufacturer’s sales

- weighted fleet

- average NMOG+NOx composite emission value, does not exceed the applicable NMOG+NOx composite emission standard set forth in the following table. In addition, the CO composite emission value of any LEV III test group shall not exceed the CO composite emission standard set forth in the following table. SFTP compliance shall be demonstrated using the same gaseous or liquid fuel used for FTP certification. In the case of fuel

- flexible vehicles, SFTP compliance shall be demonstrated using the LEV III certification gasoline specified in Part II, Section A.100.3.1.2.

For each test group subject to this subsection, manufacturers shall calculate a Composite Emission Value for NMOG+NOx and, for LEV III test groups, a separate Composite Emission Value for CO, using the following equation:

Composite Emission Value = 0.28 x US06 + 0.37 x SC03 + 0.35 x FTP [Eq. 1]

where “US06” = the test group’s NMOG+NOx or CO emission value, as appli cable, determined through the US06 test; “SC03” = the test group’s NMOG+NOx or CO emission value, as applicable, determined through the SC03 test; and “FTP” = the test group’s NMOG+NOx or CO emission value, as applicable, determined through the FTP test.

If no vehicles in a test group have air conditioning units, the FTP cycle emission value can be used in place of the SC03 value in Equation 1. To determine compliance with the SFTP NMOG+NOx composite emission standard applicable to the model year, manufa cturers shall use a sales

- weighted fleet average of the NMOG+NOx composite emission values of every applicable test group. The sales

- weighted fleet average shall be calculated using a combination of carry

- over and new certification SFTP composite emission values (converted to NMOG+NOx, as applicable). LEV II test groups will use their emission values in the fleet average calculation but will not be considered LEV III test groups. Compliance with the CO composite emission standard cannot be demonstrated

t hrough fleet averaging. The NMOG+NOx sales

A negative number constitutes total NMOG+NOx debits, and a positive number constitutes total NMOG+NOx credits accrued by the manufacturer for the given model year. Total NMOG+NOx credits earned in a given model year retain full value through the f ifth model year after they are earned. At the beginning of the sixth model year, the total NMOG+NOx credits have no value. A manufacturer may trade credits with other manufacturers

A manufacturer shall equalize total NMOG+NOx debits within three model years after they have been incurred by earning NMOG+NOx credits in an amount equal to the total NMOG+NOx debits. If total NMOG+NOx debits are not equalized within the three model

- year period, the manufacturer is subject to the Health and Safety Code secti on 43211 civil penalty applicable to a manufacturer which sells a new motor vehicle that does not meet the applicable emission standards adopted by the state board. The cause of action shall be deemed to accrue when the total NMOG+NOx debits are not equal ized by the end of the specified time period. For the purposes of Health and Safety Code section 43211, the number of vehicles not meeting the state board’s emission standards is determined by dividing the NMOG+NOx debits for the model year by the NMOG+NO x composite emission standard in effect during the model year in which the debits were incurred.

7 Calculating the CO composite emission value. Composite emission values for CO shall be calculated in accordance

with Equation 1 above

. Unlike the NMOG+NOx composite emission standards, manufacturers would not be able to meet the proposed CO composite emission standard through fleet averaging: each individual test group must comply

with the standard. Test groups certified to 4,000

- mile SFTP emission standards are not subject to this CO emission

standard.

### 2.5.5 Calculation of Fleet Average Carbon Dioxide Value

.

* * * *

2.5.5.4 For each model year, a manufacturer must demonstrate compliance with the fleet average requirements in section E.2.5 based on one of two options applicable throughout the model year, either: Option 1: the total number of passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, and medium

duty passenger vehicles that are certified to the California exhaust emission standards in section E.2.5, and are produced and delivered for sale in California; or Option 2 : the total number of passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, and medium

duty passenger vehicles that are certified to the California exhaust emission standards in section E.2.5, and are produced and delivered for sale in California, the District of Columbia, a nd all states that have adopted California's greenhouse gas emission standards for that model year pursuant to Section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7507).

1. A manufacturer that selects compliance Option 2 must notify the Executive Officer of that selection, in writing, prior to the start of the applicable model year or must comply with Option 1. Once a manufacturer has selected compliance Option 2, that selec tion applies unless the manufacturer selects Option 1 and notifies the Executive Officer of that selection in writing before the start of the applicable model year.

2. When a manufacturer is demonstrating compliance using Option 2 for a given model year , the term "in California" as used in sections E.2.5 and E.3.2 means California, the District of Columbia, and all states that have adopted California's greenhouse gas emission standards for that model year pursuant to Section 177 of the

federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7507).

3. A manufacturer that selects compliance Option 2 must provide to the Executive Officer separate values for the number of vehicles in each model type and footprint value produced and delivered for sale in the District of Columbia and for each individual state within the average and the City CO 2

2.5.6 Credits for Reduction of Air Conditioning Direct Emissions

. Manufacturers may generate A/C Direct Emissions Credits by implementing specific air conditioning system technologies designed to reduce air conditioning direct emissions over the useful life of their vehicles. A manufacturer may only use an A/C Direct Emissions Credit for vehicles within a model type upon approval of the A/C Direct Emissions Credit for that model type by the Executive Officer. The conditions and requirements for obtaining approval of an A/C Direct Emissions Credit are described below.

2.5.6.2 To obtain approval of the A/C Direct Emissions Credit, the manufacturer must demonstrate through an engineering evaluation that the A/C system under

consideration reduces A/C direct emissions. The demonstration must include all of the following elements:

• the amount of A/C Direct Emissions Credit requested, in grams of CO 2 

### - equivalent per mile (gCO 2 

### e/mi);

• the calculations identified in section 1961.3(a)(6)(C) justifying that credit amount,

• schematic of the A/C system;

• speci fications of the system components with sufficient detail to allow reproduction of the calculation; and

• a justification that the number of fittings and joints has been minimized and components have been optimized to minimize leakage an explanation describi ng what efforts have been made to minimize the number of fittings and joints and to optimize the components in order to minimize leakage

.

Calculated values must be carried to at least three significant figures throughout the calculations, and the final credit value must be rounded to one tenth of a gram of CO 2

1.4 Certification of a Federal Vehicle in California. Whenever a manufacturer federally

- certifies a 2015 or subsequent model

- year passenger car, light

- duty truck or medium

duty vehicle model to the standards for a particular emissions bin that are more stringent than the standards for an applicable California vehicle emissions category, the equivalent California model may only be certified to (i) the California standards for a vehicle emissions category that are at least as stringent as the standards for the corresponding federal emissions bin, or (ii) the exhaust emission standards to which the federal model is certified. However, where the feder al exhaust emission standards for the particular emissions bin and the California standards for a vehicle emissions category are equally stringent, the California model may only be certified to

either the California standards for that vehicle emissions cat egory or more stringent California

standards. The federal emission bins are those contained Tables S04

- 1 and S04

- 2 of 40 CFR

section 86.1811

- 04(c) as adopted February 10, 2000. A California vehicle model is to be treated as equivalent to a federal vehicl e model if all of the following characteristics are identical: (a) Vehicle make and model; (b) Cylinder block configuration (e.g., L

- 6, V

- 8); (c) Displacement; (d) Combustion cycle; (e) Transmission class; (f) Aspiration method (e.g., naturally aspirated, turbocharged); and (g) Fuel (e.g., gasoline, natural gas, methanol). The comparative stringency of the standards for the federal exhaust emissions bin and for the California vehicle emissions category shall be based on a comparison of the sum of the 150,0 00

mile federal standards to the LEV III NMOG+NOx standards or the sum of the 120,000 mile federal standards to the sum of the 120,000 mile LEV II NMOG and NOx standards, as applicable

### 1.4.4 For purposes of meeting the California NMOG+NOx fleet average phase

in requirements or for determining vehicle equivalent credits, the applicable California NMOG+NOx value for passenger cars and light

- duty trucks or vehicle equivalent credits for

medium

- du ty vehicles shall be determined as follows: (a) T t he sum of the federal full useful life (150,000 miles or 120,000 miles, as applicable ) NMOG and NOx value s shall be compared with the next less stringent California

full useful life NMOG+NOx value to deter mine which emission category (e.g., LEV630,
LEV395, LEV160, ULEV570, ULEV400, ULEV340, ULEV270, ULEV250, ULEV200, ULEV125, ULEV70, ULEV50, SULEV230, SULEV200, SULEV170, SULEV150, SULEV30, or SULEV20) is to be used for the fleet average value or vehicle equ ivalent credit

calculation

. (b) For passenger cars and light

- duty trucks, once the equivalent California emission category is determined (e.g., whether the vehicle is considered a LEV630, LEV395, LEV160,
ULEV570, ULEV400, ULEV340, ULEV270, ULEV250, ULEV20 0, ULEV125, ULEV70, ULEV50, SULEV230, SULEV200, SULEV170, SULEV150, SULEV30, or SULEV20), the applicable NMOG+NOx value to be used in the fleet average calculation is set forth in the table in section E.2.1.2 of these test procedures for passenger cars and light

- duty trucks. For example, if the full useful life (150,000 miles) NMOG plus NOx standard to which the federal vehicle is certified is 0.110 grams per mile, that vehicle would be considered a ULEV125 for fleet average purposes because the combined U LEV125 full useful life NMOG+NOx value is 0.125 and is the next less stringent emission category. The applicable emission standard to be used in the fleet average calculation would therefore be 0.125 grams per mile.

### 100.5.5 California exhaust emission test procedures for US06 emissions.

100.5.5.1 Amend §86.159

- 08 as follows: Add the following sentence : The

exhaust PM emissions shall be measured us ing equivalent measurement techniques as those used to measure exhaust PM emissions on the FTP cycle except that provisions accounting for the cold start portion of the FTP cycle (including factors used to weight emission values from the different phases) shall be ignored.

100.5.5. 1 2 Delete subparagraph (b)(9) of §86.159

- 08 and replace with: During dynamometer operation, a fixed speed cooling fan or a road speed modulated fan as specified in §86.107

– 96(d)(1) may be used. The fan shall be positioned so as to direct cooling air to the vehicle in an appropriate manner. The engine compartment cover shall remain open if a fixed speed cooling fan is used and closed if a road speed modulated fan is used. In the case of vehicles with front engine compartment s, the fan shall be squarely positioned within 24 inches (61 centimeters) of the vehicle. In the case of vehicles with rear engine compartments (or if special designs make the above impractical), the cooling fan shall be placed in a position to provide su fficient air to maintain vehicle cooling. The Executive Officer may approve modified cooling configurations or additional cooling if necessary to satisfactorily perform the test. In approving requests for additional or modified cooling, the Executive Off icer will consider such items as actual road cooling data and whether such additional cooling is needed to provide a representative test.

100.5.5. 1 3 Hot 1435 LA92 ( Hot 1435 Unified Cycle) Test Procedure. Amend §86.159

- 08 with the following m odifications:

1. Replace all references to “US06” with “ Hot 1435 Unified Cycle.” Where §86.159

- 08 references another section of 40 CFR part 86, replace all mention of “US06”

with “ Hot 1435 Unified Cycle” in referenced sections.

2. Amend 40 CFR 86.159

- 08 as follows:

2.1 Delete Paragraph (a); replace with: Overview. The dynamometer operation consists of a single test starting from second 0 and ending at second 1435 in the driving schedule shown in Part II, Section E G

. This cycle will herein b e referred to as “ Hot 1435 Unified Cycle.” The vehicle is preconditioned in accordance with the instructions in this section to bring it up to

a warmed

- up, stabilized condition. This preconditioning is followed by a 1 to 2 minute idle period that proceed s directly into the Hot 1435 Unified Cycle driving schedule during which continuous proportional samples of gaseous emissions are collected for analysis. 2.2 Paragraph (b)

A negative number constitutes hydrocarbon debits, and a positive number constitutes hydrocarbon credits accrued by the manufacturer for the given model year. Hydrocarbon credits earned in a given model y ear shall retain full value through the fifth model year after they are earned. At the beginning of the sixth model year, the hydrocarbon credits will have no value.

(B) Procedure for Offsetting Hydrocarbon Debits. A manufacturer shall offset hydrocarb on debits with hydrocarbon credits for each emission standard category within three model years after the debits have been incurred. If total hydrocarbon debits are not equalized within three model years after they have been incurred, the manufacturer sha ll be subject to the Health and Safety Code section 43211 civil penalties applicable to a manufacturer which sells a new motor vehicle that does not meet the applicable emission standards adopted by
the state board. The cause of action shall be deemed to accrue when the hydrocarbon debits are not equalized by the end of the specified time period. For the purposes of Health and Safety Code section 43211, the number of vehicles not meeting the state board’s emission standards shall be determined by dividing the total amount of hydrocarbon debits for the model year in the emission standard category by the applicable hydrocarbon emission standard for the model year in which the debits were first incurred.

Additionally, a manufacturer may use the excess hydroc arbon credits from the emission standard categories of (1) passenger cars and light

- duty trucks 6,000 pounds GVWR and under, and 0

- 3,750 pounds LVW and (2) light

Summary of 15

- Day Changes to Proposed Regulation Order and Incorporated Test Procedures

Modifications to the Proposed Regulation Order

.

Modifications to § 1900. Definitions.

Subsection (b)(22) Qualifying language has been added to the definition

of a small volume manufacturer. The new text allows manufacturers that meet the 4,500 vehicle sales threshold for a small volume manufacturer, but are partially or fully owned by another manufacturer, to still qualify as “small volume manufacturers,” if they remain operationally independent from the company that owns them.

Modifications to §1961. Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures

- 2004 through 201 9 and Subsequent Model Passenger Cars, Light

- Duty Trucks, and Medium

- Duty Vehicles.

Subsection (a)(1) This subsection has been revised to allow 2015

- 2019 MY LEV II vehicles to certify to combined NMOG+NOx standards instead of separate NMOG and NOx standards.

S ubsection (b)(1)(A) This subsection has been revised to allow manufacturers to meet an NMOG+NOx fleet average standard rather than an NMOG fleet average standard for the 2014 model year.

Modifications to §1961.2. Exhaust Emission Standards and Test

Procedures

- 201 5 and Subsequent Model Passenger Cars, Light

- Duty Trucks, and Medium

- Duty Vehicles.

The introduction to this section was modified to allow the Pooling Provision to apply to this entire section, rather than to just the fleet average.

Subsection (a)(1) This subsection has been revised to allow 2015

- 2019 MY LEV II vehicles to certify to combined NMOG+NOx standards instead of separate NMOG and NOx standards.

Subsection (a)(2) The title of this subsection has been modified.

### G

Date of Release: February 2 2 , 2012; Proposed 15

- day Changes Date of Hearing: Janua r y 26

- 27 , 201 2 

### Subsection (a)(2)(B) This subsection has been modified to allow manufacturers to meet the phase

- in requirements for the LEV III medium

- duty vehicle particulate standards based on a percentage of the combined sales of

medium

- duty vehicles weighing 8,501 to 10,000 pounds GVWR and medium

duty vehicles weighing 10,001 to 14,000 pounds GVWR, rather than separate percentages for the two weight classes.

Subsection (a)(2)(D) This subsection has been modified to provide

manufacturers with an alternative compliance option for meeting the proposed particulate matter standards.

Subsection (a)(6) The NMOG+NOx standards that are applicable to this subsection are given in terms of three decimal places. It is, therefore, appropriate to round off the measured emission values to three decimal places. However, the current proposed text specifies that the emissions values be rounded to two decimal places. This error has been corrected.

Subsection (a)(7)(A) This subsection has been modified to allow early compliance with 150,000

- mile SFTP standards for model year 2014 vehicles. It has also been modified to require LEV III flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline. The purpose of this ch ange is to align with the LEV III FTP allowance for early compliance for model year 2014 vehicles.

Subsection (a)(7)(A)2 This subsection has been modified to clarify how to project full useful life emission values for vehicles continuing to certify to LEV

II SFTP emission standards during the LEV III SFTP phase

- in period (“carry

over” test groups) . It has also been modified to allow the use of full useful life
SFTP values in lieu of projections if such values are used to certify to the 4,000

- mile emission standards. This has been modified in order to ensure clarity for manufacturers and avoid confusion during the certification process.

Subsection (a)(7)(B) This subsection has been modified to require LEV III

flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III c ertification gasoline. The purpose of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing burden for flex

- fueled vehicles. It has also been modified to reduce the significant figures of the SFTP PM emission standards. This change is being proposed to align t he
PM standards measurement resolution with the current resolution of PM measurement equipment

Subsection (a)(7)(C) This subsection has been modified to require LEV III

flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline. The purpose

of t his change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing burden for flex

- fueled vehicles. Also, the naming convention for the UC cycle has been changed to

- 27 , 201 2 

### “Hot 1435 UC,” to clarify that the required test cycle is a modified UC cycle. In addition, the subsection was modified to clarify how to determine horsepower for the purposes of the MDV standards and to allow manufacturers to use FTP emissions values in place of SC03 emissions values in the composite emission equation. The purpose of this change is to

avoid exce ssive SFTP testing burden for MDVs. Air conditioning provides a relatively small load for an MDV engine and FTP emissions results would be
similar to SC03 emissions results.

Subsection (a)(7)(D) This subsection has been modified to require LEV III

flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline. The purpose of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing burden for flex

- fueled

vehicles. It has also been modified to reduce t he significant figures of the SFTP PM emission standards. This change is being proposed to align the

PM standards measurement resolution with the current resolution of PM measurement equipment. Also, the naming convention for the UC cycle has been change d to “Hot 1435 UC,” to clarify that the required test cycle is a modified UC cycle.

Subsection (a)(8)(A)1 Three of the values in the table have been corrected to align them with the proposed values set forth in the “California 2015 and Subsequent Model Cr iteria Pollutant Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures and 2017 and Subsequent Model Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for Passenger Cars, Light

- Duty Trucks, and Medium

- Duty Vehicles

. ”

Subsection (a)(8)(C)(2) This subsection has been modified to allow interim in

use SFTP emission standards for new certifications through the 2020 model year. The purpose of this change is to align with the interim in

- use standards
for LEV III FTP.

Subsection (a)(10) The word “s hall” has been changed to “may” to make it clear that vehicles that certify to the LEV III SULEV30 or the LEV III SULEV20

standard are not required to generate partial ZEV credits.

Subsection (b)(1)(A) NMOG+NOx fleet average standards have b ee n added to the table for the 2014 model year, to provide an alternative to the NMOG fleet average standards in section 1961.

Subsection (b)(1)(A)1 Text from this subsection has been moved to the Introduction to this section to show that it applies to the e ntire section. Clarifying language has also been added.

### Subsection (b)(1)(A)2 This subsection has been modified to allow manufacturers to use projected sales data rather than actual sales data to

determine the minimum number of SULEV30 and SULEV20 vehicl e s they must produce in the 2018 and subsequent model years.

Subsection (b)(1)(B)1.a An error in the formula has been corrected.

Subsection (b)(1)(B)1.b Errors in the formula have been corrected.

Subsection (b)(1)(B)1.c The table has been modified to a llow vehicles certified to federal standards to be included in the fleet average NMOG+NOx calculation based on the actual standards to which they certify. Also, values
have been added to the table for LEV II LEV ULEV medium

- duty vehicles.

Subsection (b)( 1)(B)2 This subsection has been amended to correct an

error in the Zero

- emission VMT Allowance values that may be used in the

calculations.

Subsection (b)(1)(B)3 This subsection has been deleted, because it is no longer needed, due to the modifications to subsection (b)(1)(B)1.c.

Subsection (b)( 1 ) (C)1 This subsection has been modified to provide an additional two year lead time before small volume manufacturers are required to certify to U LEV 125 standards. This change aligns the compliance dates for certifying to these new standards with the compliance dates by which these manufacturers must certify to the 3 mg/mi particulate standards and by which they must certify 100 percent of their fleet to LEV III standards.

Subsection (b)(2) This subsection ha s been modified to allow manufacturers to carryover the certification of vehicles that were certified as LEV II SULEVs prior to the 2015 model year for the 2015 and 2016 model

years . This change was needed to accommodate manufacturers’ production plans th at are already in place. This subsection has also been modified to provide small volume manufacturers with an additional two year s of lead time before they must certify all their vehicles to LEV III standards. This change was needed to align their requir ement for 100% certification of LEV III vehicles with the year that they must meet a more stringent fleet average and more stringent particulate matter standards

.

Subsection (b)(3)(A) Unnecessary text has been removed.

Subsection (b)(3)(C) It was necessary to add this subsection to the regulations to provide an alternate phase

- in schedule of LEV III vehicles for

### those manufacturers that produce too few medium

- duty vehicle test groups to be able to meet the percent requirements for the phase

- in of LEV III vehicles.

Subsection (c)(2)(A) The year of applicability for this section has been corrected to align it with the year that the LEV III regulations will apply to

medium

- duty vehicles. The first term, which applies to vehicles certified to LEV standards, was inadvertently omitted. It has been added back in to the
formula. The multiplying factors have been corrected to two decimal places

to make the formulas more accurate. Also, other errors in the formulas have

been corrected.

Subsection (c)(2)(B) This subsection has been amended to correct an

error in the Zero

- emission VMT Allowance values that may be used in the

calculations. Also, the formulas that apply to vehicles certified to L EV standards were inadvertently omitted. These have been added back in.

Subsection (f) This new subsection adds a severability provision to section

1961.2.

Modifications to §1961.3. Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards

and Test Procedures

- 20 17 and Subsequent Model Passenger Cars, Light

Duty Trucks, and Medium

- Duty Vehicles.

Subsection (a)(5)(D)1 This subsection has been modified to eliminate the requirement that a manufacturer that elects to pool its emissions report that

selection to ARB prior to the start of each model year to which that selection applies.

Subsection (a)(5)(D)3 This subsection has been modified to add clarifying language.

Subsection (a)(6)(B) The last bullet in this subsection is meant to be a reporting requirement that an A/C Direct Emissions Credit application must meet, instead of one of the criteria that an A/C system must meet in order to qualify for A/C Direct Emissions Credit. However, this was unclear to

manufacturers b ased on 45

- day comments received by ARB. Consequently, this subsection has been revised to clarify the intent of the language.

Subsection (a)(10) The in

- use compliance standards for vehicles certifying to the greenhouse gas standards in this section were inadvertently omitted from the regulations. They have been added to the regulations.

### Modifications to §1976

. Standards and Test Procedures for Motor Vehicle Fuel Evaporative Emissions.

Subsection (b)(1)(G)1.b This subsection has been m odif ied to revise the provisions for trading evaporative emission fleet

- average credits among certain vehicle categories

. This change would provide additional flexibility for trading evaporative emission credits among the heavier vehicle categories.
Staff believes that this change will not compromise manufacturers’ requirement to implement effective evaporative control across the entire fleet.

Subsection (b)(1)(G)2 This subsection has been modified to allow manufacturers to use projected sales data rather than actual sales data to determine the minimum number of vehicles they must produce in the 2015

- 2017 model years that meet the proposed evaporative emission standa rds

. This subsection has also been modified to base compliance for this requirement upon the average number of vehicles produced over the 2015

- 2017 time period in lieu of a year

- by

- year requirement. These modifications would provide flexibility in respon se to industry requests without compromising the requirement for manufacturers to maintain the percentage

of zero

- evaporative vehicles in their fleet during the early years of the phase

in to the proposed standards.

Subsection (b)(1)(G)4 This subsection h as been revised to m odify the pooling compliance option concerning states that adopt California’s evaporative emission standards pursuant to section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7507) to specifically set forth required submittal

informatio n and to reduce the Executive Officer notification requirement

. These changes are being proposed to clarify the information required and reduce the compliance burden for manufacturers who choose the pooling option.

Subsection (b)(1)(G)5 This subsection has been revised to a llow optional early compliance in the 2014 m odel y ear with the proposed evaporative emission standards. This change is being proposed to provide additional flexibility to vehicle manufacturer s.

Modifications to § 1978

. Standards and Test Procedures for Vehicle Refueling Emissions

.

Revise exemption for incomplete medium

- duty vehicles.

It has been suggested that all incomplete vehicles, rather than just a subset of incomplete vehicles, be exempted from the refueling requirements given the

Modifications to §2112. Definitions.

A reference to new section § 1961.3 was inadvertently omitted from this section. It was necessary to add it in, so this section applies to § 1961.3.

Modifications to §2139. Testing.

A reference to new section § 1961.3 was inadvertently omitted from this section. It was necessary to add it in, so this section applies to § 1961.3.

Modifications to §2140. Notification and Use of Test Results.

A reference to new section § 1961.3 was inadvertently omitted from this section. It was necessary to add it in, so this section applies to § 1961.3.

Modifications to §2147. Demonstration of Compliance with Emission
Standards.

A reference to new section § 1961.3 was inadvertently omitted from this section. It was necessary to add it in, so this section applies to § 1961.3.

Criteria Pollutant Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures an d 2009 through 2016 Model Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for Passenger Cars, Light Duty Trucks and Medium Duty Vehicles ”

Part I. Subpart D

Subsection 2.1.4 This subsection has been revised to require the air to fuel

ratio to not be richer than the leanest air to fuel mixture required to obtain maximum torque (lean best torque), with a tolerance of six percent of the fuel consumption and remove a provision describing the operating mode of the

emission contr ol system. This change is being proposed because there was insufficient time to conduct the necessary testing to ensure that the three percent tolerance in air

- to

- fuel ratio measurement is feasible.

Part I. Subpart E

Subsection 2.1.1 This subsection has been revised to allow manufacturers to meet an NMOG+NOx fleet average standard rather than an NMOG fleet average standard for the 2014 model year.

Part I. Subpart H

Subsection H.3.2 It is necessary to ask automakers who will be making hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to notify ARB of their intent 33 month prior to the applicable model year, because this lead time is needed to build a hydrogen fueling stations. Although this requirement wa s included in the proposed

“ California 2015 and Subsequent Model Criteria Pollutant Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures and 2017 and Subsequent Model
Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for Passenger Cars, Light

- Duty Tr ucks, and Medium

- Duty Vehicles ,” it was inadvertently omitted from these test procedures. Th is subsection has been revised to incorporate these requirements into these test procedures. A lso, a sentence was added to ensure that we are able to collect hydr ogen vehicle data three years out starting in 2012, since automakers are planning their commercial launch of fuel cell vehicles in 2015. The current proposed regulation requires hydrogen vehicle reporting by April 1, so the regulation, as currently propos ed, will not be chaptered in time to get data that could indicate that we trigger the regulation for stations in 2015.

Part I. Subpart B

Subsection B.2. Qualifying language has been added to the definition of a

small volume manufacturer. The new text allows manufacturers that meet the 4,500 vehicle sales threshold for a small volume manufacturer, but are partially or fully owned by another manufacturer, t o still qualify as “small volume manufacturers,” if they remain operationally independent from the company that owns them.

Part I. Subpart D

Subsection 2.1.4 This subsection has been revised to require the air to fuel

ratio to not be richer than the leanest air to fuel mixture required to obtain maximum torque (lean best torque), with a tolerance of six percent of the fuel consumption and remove a provision describing the operating mode of the emission control system. This change is being proposed be cause there was insufficient time to conduct the necessary testing to ensure that the three percent tolerance in air

- to

- fuel ratio measurement is feasible.

Subsection D. 2.1.6 This subsection has been revised to remove Small Volume Provisions specific to S FTP because the provisions for Small Volume Manufacturers already in the LEV III FTP program are linked to the SFTP

program.

Subsection D.2.2 This subsection has been revised to specify a conversion
factor of 1.03 to convert NMHC emission values to NMOG emission values for the purpose of determining SFTP compliance. The purpose of this change is to provide an accurate conversion factor for the US06 cycle because LEV II SFTP testing only required measurement of NMHC emission values.

Part I. Subpart E

Subsection E.1.1.1 This subsection has been revised to allow 2015

- 2019 MY LEV II vehicles to certify to combined NMOG+NOx standards instead of separate NMOG and NOx standards.

Subsection E.1.1.2.1 The title of this subsection has been modified.

### Subsection E. 1.1.2.1.2 This subsection has been modified to allow manufacturers to meet the phase

- in requirements for the LEV III medium

- duty vehicle particulate standards based on a percentage of the combined sales of

medium

- duty vehicles weighing 8,501 to 10,000 pounds GVWR and medium

duty vehicles weighing 10,001 to 14,000 pounds GVWR, rather than separate percentages for the two weight classes.

Subsection E. 1.1.2.1.4 This subsection has been modified to provide manufacturers with an alternative compliance option for meeting the proposed particulate matter standards.

Subsection E.1.2.2.1 This subsection has been revised to allow early compliance with 150,000

- mile SFTP standards for model year 2014 vehicles. The purpose of this change is to align with the LEV III FTP allowance for early compliance for model year 2014 vehicles.

Subsection E.1.2.2.1.1 This subsection has been revised to require LEV III
flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline for SFTP certification. The purpose of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing

burden for flex

- fueled vehicles. The table has b een corrected to specify that
the standards are NMOG

- based standards and not NMHC

- based standards. This has been changed to correct a clerical error.

Subsection E.1.2.2.1.2 This subsection has been revised to require LEV III
flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline for SFTP certification. The purpose of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing

burden for flex

- fueled vehicles.

Subsection E.1.2.2.1.2 Footnote 2 of the table has been revised to clarify how to project fu ll useful life emission values for vehicles continuing to certify to LEV II during the LEV III phase

- in period (“carry

- over” test groups)

. It has
also been modified to allow the use of full useful life SFTP values in lieu of projections if such values are used to certify to the 4,000

- mile emission

standards. This has been modified in order to ensure clarity for manufacturers and avoid confusion during the certification process.

Subsection E.1.2.2.2 This subsection has been revised to require LEV III
flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline for SFTP certification. The purpose of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing

burden for flex

- fueled vehicles. It has also been modified to reduce the significant figures of the SFTP PM emission standards. This change is being proposed to align the PM standards resolution with the current resolution of PM measurement equipment.

### Subsection E.1.2.2.3 This subsection has been revised to require LEV III
flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline for SFTP certification. The purpose of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing

burden for flex

- fueled vehicles. Also, the namin g convention for the UC cycle has been changed to “Hot 1435 UC,” to clarify that the required test cycle is a modified UC cycle. In addition, the subsection was modified to clarify how to determine horsepower for the purposes of the MDV standards and to a llow manufacturers to use FTP emissions values in place of SC03 emissions values in the composite emission equation. The purpose of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing burden for MDVs. Air conditioning provides a relatively small load for an MD V engine and FTP emissions results would be
similar to SC03 emissions results.

Subsection E.1.2.2.4 This subsection has been revised to require LEV III
flex

- fueled vehicles to test only on LEV III certification gasoline for SFTP certification. The purpo se of this change is to avoid excessive SFTP testing

burden for flex

- fueled vehicles. Also, the naming convention for the UC cycle has been changed to “Hot 1435 UC,” to clarify that the required test cycle is a modified UC cycle. It has also been modifie d to reduce the significant figures
of the SFTP PM emission standards. This change is being proposed to align
the PM standards resolution with the current resolution of PM measurement equipment.

Subsection E.1.6 The NMOG+NOx standards that are applicabl e to this subsection are given in terms of three decimal places. It is, therefore, appropriate to round off the measured emission values to three decimal places. However, the current proposed text specifies that the emissions

values be rounded to two dec imal places. This error has been corrected.

Subsection E.1.8 The word “shall” has been changed to “may” to make it clear that vehicles that certify to the LEV III SULEV30 or the LEV III SULEV20 standard are not required to generate partial ZEV credits.

Subsection E.2.1.1 NMOG+NOx fleet average standards have b ee n added to the table for the 2014 model year, to provide an alternative to the NMOG fleet average standards in the “ California 2001 through 2014 Model
Criteria Pollutant Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures and 2009 through 2016 Model Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for Passenger Cars, Light Duty Trucks and Medium Duty

Vehicles

### Subsection E.2.1.1.1 Text has been added to this subsection to exten d the pooli ng provision to other sections of these test procedures that address the phase

- in of LEV III standards.

Subsection E.2.1.1.2 This subsection has been modified to allow manufacturers to use projected sales data rather than actual sales data to

determine th e minimum number of SULEV30 and SULEV20 vehicle s they must produce in the 2018 and subsequent model years.

Subsection E.2.1.2.1(a) and (b) Errors in the formulas have been corrected.

Subsection E.2.1.2.1(c) The table has been modified to allow vehicles certified to federal standards to be included in the fleet average NMOG+NOx calculation based on the actual standards to which they certify. Also, values
have been added to the table for LEV II LEV ULEV medium

- duty vehicles.

Subsection E.2.1.2.2 This subsection has been amended to correct an

error in the Zero

- emission VMT Allowance values that may be used in the

calculations.

Subsection E.2.1.2.3 This subsection has been deleted, because it is no longer needed, due to the modifications to subsection E.2.1.2.2.

Subsection E.2.1.3 This subsection has been modified to provide an additional two year lead time before small volume manufacturers are required to certify to ULEV125 standards. This change aligns the compliance dates for certifying to these new standards with the compliance dates by which these manufacturers must certify to the 3 mg/mi particulate standards and by which they must certify 100 percent of their fleet to LEV III standards.

Subsection E.2.2 This subsection has been modified to allow manufacturers to carryover the certification of vehicles that were certified as LEV II SULEVs prior to the 2015 model year for the 2015 and 2016 model

years . This change was needed to accommodate manufacturers’ production plans that are already in place. This subsection has also been modified to provide small volume manufacturers with an additional two year s of lead time before they must certify all their v ehicles to LEV III standards. This change was needed to align their requirement for 100% certification of LEV III vehicles with the year that they must meet a more stringent fleet average and more stringent particulate matter standards

.

Subsection E.2.3. 1(a) Unnecessary text has been removed.

### Subsection E.2.3.1(c) It was necessary to add this subsection to the regulations to provide an alternate phase

- in schedule of LEV III vehicles for those manufacturers that produce too few medium

- duty vehicle test groups to be able to meet the percent requirements for the phase

- in of LEV III vehicles

.

Subsection E.2.5.5.4.1 This subsection has been modified to eliminate the requirement that a manufacturer that elects to pool its emissions report that

selection to A RB prior to the start of each model year to which that selection applies.

Subsection E.2.5.5.4.3 This subsection has been modified to add clarifying language.

Subsection E.2.5.6.2 The last bullet in this subsection is meant to be a reporting requirement that an A/C Direct Emissions Credit application must meet, instead of one of the criteria that an A/C system must meet in order to qualify for A/C Direct Emissions Credit. However, this was unclear to

manufacturers b ased on 45

- day comments received by ARB. Consequently, this subsection has been revised to clarify the intent of the language.

Subsection E.3.1.2.1 The year of applicability for this section has been corrected to align it with the year that the LEV III regulations will apply to

medium

- duty vehicles. The first term, which applies to vehicles certified to LEV standards, was inadvertently omitted. The multiplying factors have been corrected to two decimal places to make the formulas more accurate. These

have been added back in. Also, other errors in the formulas have been

corrected.

Subsection E.3.1.2.2 This subsection has been amended to correct an

error in the Zero

- emission VMT Allowance values that may be used in the

calculations. Also, the formulas that apply to vehicles certified to LEV standards were inadvertently omitted. These have been added back in.

Subsection E.4.3. 2 This subsection has been revised to allow interim in

use SFTP emission standards for new certifications through the 2020 model year. The purpose of this change is to align with the interim in

- use standards year for LEV III FTP.

Subsection E.5 The in

- use compliance standards for vehicles certifying to the greenhouse gas standards in this section were inadvertently omitted from these test procedures. They have been added in.

### Part I. Subpart G

Subsection G.3.5 Testing requirements for demonstration of compliance

with the LEV III PM standards have been added.

Part I. Subpart H

Subsection H.1.4(g) Text was inadvertently omitted from this subsection that sets forth criteria for comparing the stringency of LEV II standards and federal

Tier 2 standards

. The modifications to this subsection are needed to correct

that omission.

Subsection H.1.4.4 Subs ection E.2.1.2.1(c) has been revised to require that federally

- certified vehicles be included in a manufacturer’s fleet average
NMOG+NOx emission calculation based on the sum of the federal full useful
life NMOG and NOx standards to which the vehicles cert ify. This change makes the text in H.1.4.4(a) and H.1.4.4(b) unnecessary. Therefore, t his subsection was revised to remove text that is no longer needed. It was also necessary to add text to this subsection to accurately reflect that some

vehicles certi fied under these test procedures must meet 120,000 mile full useful life standards. The originally proposed language erroneously implies that all vehicles subject to this subsection are certified to 150,000 mile full

useful life standards.

Subsection H.1.4.6 This subsection was revised to reference the correct title of the applicable document.

Subsection H.3.2 “ V ehicle fuel pressure rating” was added to the reporting requirement for hydrogen vehicles to inform us about the fueling requirements

of the cars so that we can best inform the regulated par ty about fuel dispenser specs.

Subsection H.4.1.3(b) A typo has been corrected.

Part II. Subpart A

Subsection 100.3.1.2 Errors in the footnotes in the table have been

corrected.

Subsection 100.3.4 This subsection has been revised to require the use of the proposed test fuel containing ten percent ethanol f or evaporative emission testing of flex fuel vehicles. Automobile manufacturers requested this change to reduce the number of different test fuels th at would need to be maintained in order to complete certification testing. Staff agrees that this

### change is needed and staff does not believe it would reduce the benefit of the proposed evaporative emission program.

Subsection 100.5.5.1 This subsection h as been modified to clarify how to measure PM exhaust emissions on SFTP cycles.

Subsection 100.5.5.2 This subsection has been revised to allow use of a

road

- speed modulated fan in place of a fixed speed fan on the US06 cycle. The purpose of this change is to provide a more accurate simulation of real driving conditions.

Subsection 100.5.5.2.2.2 has been rev ised to specify that the engine compartment shall remain closed if a road

- speed modulated fan is used. The purpose of this change is to require proper lab usage of road

- speed
modulated fans.

Subsection 100.5.5.3 This subsection has been modified to cla rify how to measure PM exhaust emissions on SFTP cycles. It has also been revised to define the “Hot 1435 Unified Cycle” test for clarity.

Subsection 100.5.5.4.2.2.2 This subsection has been modified to clarify how
to measure PM exhaust emissions on S FTP cycles. It has also been revised to specify that the engine compartment shall remain closed if a road

- speed modulated fan is used. The purpose of this change is to require proper lab usage of road

- speed modulated fans.

Part II. Subpart G

This section has been added to specify the speed vs. time sequence for the Hot 1435 Unified Cycle Driving Schedule.

### Staff believes that this change will not compromise manufacturers’ requirement to implement effective evaporative control acros s the entire fleet.

Sub section 1.(e)(ii) This subsection has been modified to allow manufacturers to use projected sales data rather than actual sales data to determine the minimum number of vehicles they must produce in the 2015

- 2017 model years that mee t the proposed evaporative emission standards

. This subsection has also been modified to base compliance for this requirement upon the average number of vehicles produced over the 2015

- 2017 time period in lieu of a year

- by

- year requirement. These modifications would provide flexibility in response to industry requests without compromising the requirement for manufacturers to maintain the percentage

of zero

- evaporative vehicles in their fleet during the early years of the phase

in to the proposed st andards.

Subs ection 1.(e)(iv) This subsection has been modified to add a provision for the pooling compliance option concerning states that adopt California’s evaporative emission standards pursuant to section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7507). This change is being added since staff inadvertently omitted the pooling provision from the 45

- day document. This provision matches the 15

- day amended language in §1976. Standards and Test Procedures for Motor Vehicle Fuel Evaporative Emissions

, Subsection (b)(1)(G)4

.

Sub sections 1.(e)(v) This subsection has been revised to a llow optional early compliance in the 2014 m odel y ear with the proposed evaporative emission standards. This change is being proposed to provide additional flexibility to vehicle manufacturer s.
