and for the 2008 and subsequent model 

years. Three different emissions 

standards apply to the 2004, 2005–2007, 

and 2008 model years respectively. By 

letter dated December 7, 2005, CARB 

submitted a request seeking EPA 

confirmation that its amendments 

affecting these model years be 

considered within-the-scope of 

previously granted waivers of 

preemption under section 209(b) of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA), 42 U.S.C. 7543(b).

expressing its interest in presenting oral 

testimony. By June 8, 2007, any person 

who plans to attend the hearing should 

call David Dickinson at (202) 343–9256 

to learn if a hearing will be held. If EPA 

does not receive a request for a public

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No EPA–HQ–OAR–2005–

0133. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. 

The http://www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an e-mail 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through http://www.regulations.gov 

your e-mail address will be 

automatically captured and included as 

part of the comment that is placed in the 

public docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. Docket: All documents in the 

docket are listed in the http:// 

www.regulations.gov index. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

will be publicly available only in hard 

copy. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

(A) Background and Discussion: 

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)(1) 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). The 

Administrator must grant a waiver 

unless he 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. 

When EPA receives new waiver 

requests from CARB, EPA traditionally 

publishes a notice of opportunity for 

public hearing and comment and then 

publishes a decision in the Federal 

Register following the public comment 

period. In contrast, when EPA receives 

within the scope waiver requests from 

CARB, EPA usually publishes a decision 

in the Federal Register and 

concurrently invites public comment if 

an interested party is opposed to EPA’s 

decision. 

Although CARB has submitted a 

within the scope waiver request, EPA 

invites comment on the following 

issues: Whether California’s standards, 

within the context of a within the scope 

analysis (a) Undermine California’s 

previous determination that its 

standards, in the aggregate, are at least 

as protective of public health and 

welfare as comparable Federal 

standards, (b) affect the consistency of 

California’s requirements with section 

202(a) of the Act, and (c) raise new 

issues affecting EPA’s previous waiver 

determinations. Please also provide 

comment that if CARB’s standards were 

not found to be within the scope of 

previous waivers and instead required a 

full waiver analysis, whether (a) CARB’s 

determination that its standards, in the 

aggregate, are at least as protective of 

public health and welfare as applicable 

federal standards is arbitrary and 

capricious, (b) California needs separate 

standards to meet compelling and 

extraordinary conditions, and (c) 

California’s standards and 

accompanying enforcement procedures 

are consistent with section 202(a) of the 

Act. 

Procedures for Public Participation 

In recognition that public hearings are 

designed to give interested parties an 

opportunity to participate in this 

proceeding, there are no adverse parties 

as such. Statements by participants will 

not be subject to cross-examination by 

other participants without special 

approval by the presiding officer. The 

presiding officer is authorized to strike 

from the record statements that he or 

she deems irrelevant or repetitious and 

to impose reasonable time limits on the 

duration of the statement of any 

participant. 

If a hearing is held, 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. Regardless of whether a 

public hearing is held, EPA will keep 

the record open until July 13, 2007. 

Upon expiration of the comment period, 

the Administrator will render a decision 

on CARB’s request based on the record 

of the public hearing, if any, relevant 

written submissions, and other 

information that he deems pertinent. 

Persons with comments containing 

proprietary information must 

distinguish such information from other 

comments to the great possible extent 

and label it as ‘‘Confidential Business 

Information’’ (CBI). If a person making 

comments want 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. 

Dated: May 8, 2007. 

Elizabeth Craig, 

Acting Assistant Administrator, Office of Air 

and Radiation.
