SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

(A) CARB’s Waiver Request for its HD 

Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation 

CARB’s June 20, 2013, letter to the 

Acting Administrator presents EPA with 

CARB’s HD Tractor-Trailer GHG 

Regulation as adopted in 2008 and 

amended in 2010 and 2012.1 CARB is 

seeking a waiver for those elements of 

the HD Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation 

applicable to new 2011 through 2013 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

2To be consistent, the California certification 

procedures need not be identical to the federal 

certification procedures. California procedures 

would be inconsistent, however, if manufacturers 

would be unable to meet the state and the federal 

requirements with the same test vehicle in the 

course of the same test. See, e.g., 43 FR 32182 (July 

25, 1978). 

model year (MY) Class 8 tractors 

equipped with integrated sleeper berths 

(sleeper cab tractors), and to new 2011 

and subsequent MY dry-van and 

refrigerated-van trailers that are pulled 

by such tractors on California highways. 

(B) Scope of Preemption and Criteria 

for a Waiver Under the Clean Air Act 

Section 209(a) of the Clean Air Act, as 

amended (‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7543(a), 

provides: 

No state or any political subdivision 

thereof shall adopt or attempt to enforce any 

standard relating to the control of emissions 

from new motor vehicles or new motor 

vehicle engines subject to this part. No state 

shall require certification, inspection or any 

other approval relating to the control of 

emissions from any new motor vehicle or 

new motor vehicle engine as condition 

precedent to the initial retail sale, titling (if 

any), or registration of such motor vehicle, 

motor vehicle engine, or equipment. 

Section 209(b) of the Act requires the 

Administrator, after notice and 

opportunity for public hearing, to waive 

application of the prohibitions of 

section 209(a) for any state that has 

adopted standards (other than crankcase 

emission standards) for the control of 

emissions from new motor vehicles or 

new motor vehicle engines prior to 

March 30, 1966, if the state determines 

that the state standards will be, in the 

aggregate, at least as protective of public 

health and welfare as applicable federal 

standards. California is the only state 

that is qualified to seek and receive a 

waiver under section 209(b). EPA must 

grant a waiver unless the Administrator 

finds that (A) the determination of the 

state is arbitrary and capricious, (B) the 

state does not need the state standards 

to meet compelling and extraordinary 

conditions, or (C) the state standards 

and accompanying enforcement 

procedures are not consistent with 

section 202(a) of the Act. Previous 

decisions granting waivers of federal 

preemption for motor vehicles have 

maintained that state standards are 

inconsistent with section 202(a) if there 

is inadequate lead time to permit the 

development of the necessary 

technology giving appropriate 

consideration to the cost of compliance 

within that time period or if the federal 

and state test procedures impose 

inconsistent certification procedures.2

(C) Request for Comment 

EPA invites comment on CARB’s 

request for a waiver of its HD TractorTrailer GHG Regulation with regard to 

those regulatory provisions pertaining to 

new tractors (2011 through 2013 model 

years) and new trailers (2011 and 

subsequent model years) under the 

following three criteria: Whether (a) 

California’s determination that its motor 

vehicle emission standards are, in the 

aggregate, at least as protective of public 

health and welfare as applicable federal 

standards is arbitrary and capricious, (b) 

California needs such standards to meet 

compelling and extraordinary 

conditions, and (c) California’s 

standards and accompanying 

enforcement procedures are consistent 

with section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act. 

Procedures for Public Participation 

The Agency will make a verbatim 

record of the proceedings. Interested 

parties may arrange with the reporter at 

the hearing to obtain a copy of the 

transcript at their own expense. EPA 

will keep the record open until October 

18, 2013. Upon expiration of the 

comment period, the Administrator will 

render a decision on CARB’s request 

based on the record of the public 

hearing, relevant written submissions, 

and other information that she deems 

pertinent. 

Persons with comments containing 

proprietary information must 

distinguish such information from other 

comments to the greatest possible extent 

and label it as ‘‘Confidential Business 

Information’’ (CBI). If a person making 

comments wants EPA to base its 

decision in part on a submission labeled 

CBI, then a non-confidential version of 

the document that summarizes the key 

data or information should be submitted 

for the public docket. To ensure that 

proprietary information is not 

inadvertently placed in the docket, 

submissions containing such 

information should be sent directly to 

the contact person listed above and not 

to the public docket. Information 

covered by a claim of confidentiality 

will be disclosed by EPA only to the 

extent allowed and by the procedures 

set forth in 40 CFR part 2. If no claim 

of confidentiality accompanies the 

submission when EPA receives it, EPA 

will make it available to the public 

without further notice to the person 

making comments.
