ZERO

- EMISSION VEHICLE REGULATIONS BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, the California Zero

- Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation requires at least 12 percent of the passenger cars and light

- duty trucks produced by large or

intermediate

- volume manufacturers (LMV and IVM) and delivered for sale in California in 2012 to be ZEV credits, meaning credits from battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCV);

WHEREAS, since its 1990 adoption, the ZEV regulation has been modified six times to better align the regulatory timeline and requirements with the status of ZEV technology and ZEV commercialization feasibility;

WHEREAS, at the March 2008 ZEV hearing, the Board directed staff to review the ZEV, LEV, and greenhouse gas programs from the perspective of being able to reduce

smog

- forming pollution, to address the problem of the S tate’s contribution to global warming, and to reduce California’s dependence on petroleum, and to redesign the 2017 and beyond requirements for the ZEV program by strengthen ing it focusing it exclusively on the gold requirement ( battery, fuel

- cell, and plug

- in hybrid electric

vehicles ) to ensur e California remains the leading location for moving advanced, low

greenhouse gas technology vehicles to commercialization, which is critical to achieving

California’s 2050 greenhouse gas emission reduction goals;

WHEREAS, at the March 2008 ZEV hearing, the Board directed staff to develop a program to further the availab ility of alternative fuels and infrastructure, and to return to the Board with regulations, as appropriate;

WHEREAS, following the Board’s direction at the March 2008 ZEV hearing , staff

assessed the current state of ZEV technology, an analysis of pathway s to meeting California’s long term 2050 greenhouse gas reduction goals in the light

- duty vehicle subsector, and a review of current and possible future complimentary policies that will

be needed to aid in complimentary policies for ZEVs;

WHEREAS, at the December 2009 ZEV hearing, staff presented findings of an

assessment of the then current state of ZEV technology, including an analysis of pathways to meeting California’s long term 2050 greenhouse gas reduction goals in the

### Resolution 12

- 11 8

light

- duty vehi cle subsector, and a review of current and possible future complimentary policies that will be needed to aid in infrastructure and market pull policies for ZEVs;

WHEREAS, staff’s assessment found that ZEVs are essential to meeting California’s long term g reenhouse gas emission reduction goals and ZEVs will need to be 100 percent of new vehicle sales no later than model year 2050, and that any future modifications to the ZEV regulation should help keep the light

- duty vehicle subsector on

track to reach an 8 0 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050

, and a fueling infrastructure mandate is needed to ensure that publicly available hydrogen fuel

exists so that auto manufacturers can sell and lease fuel cell vehicle s ;

WHEREAS, at the December 2009 ZEV hearing, the Board found the following necessary to better align the ZEV regulation with California’s long term climate change and air quality improvement goals:

The focus of the ZEV regulation would shift from only criteria pollutant emission

reducti ons to greenhouse gas emission reductions as well as criteria pollutants;

The ZEV program helps assure that the transformation to very low carbon

- emitting vehicles occurs in the timeframe necessary to meet the State’s 2050 target of an 80 percent reductio n in greenhouse gas es compared to 1990 levels;

The ZEV regulation helps assure the successful launch of commercial ZEVs and plug

- in hybrid electric vehicles in the next decade, which appears necessary to meet

the 2050 greenhouse gas target;

PZEVs, or partial zero emission vehicles, now a part of the ZEV regulation, are commercial and can be removed from the ZEV regulation (effective in 2014). Their emission benefits are appropriately considered in the next revision to the LEV

criteria emission standar ds;

AT PZEVs, or advanced technology partial zero emission vehicles, now a part of the ZEV regulation, are commercial and can be removed from the ZEV regulation (effective in 2017). Their emission benefits are appropriately considered in the next

revisio n to the LEV greenhouse gas emission standards; and

The proposed structure, credit values, and stringency of the revised ZEV program will depend in part on the Board’s decision regarding the establishment of more stringent greenhouse gas standards for the overall fleet, and how well that decision places Californ ia on the path to meeting an 80

- percent reduction in greenhouse gas

emissions for the overall fleet, and how well that decision places California on the path to meeting that goal by 2050

.

WHEREAS, staff considered the Board’s direction as given at the 2009 December ZEV Hearing, as well as input from stakeholders, in developing these proposed amendments to the ZEV regulations and test procedures; and

### Resolution 12

- 11 9

WHEREAS, at the December 2009 ZEV hearing the Board directed staff to pursue the following three tiered approach to hydrogen infrastructure implementation:

1. Investigate financial incentives to meet current fuel cell vehicle needs; 2. Offer regulatory incentives through existing regulat ions; and 3. Mandate hydrogen through modifications to existing regulations or through a new regulation.

CLEAN FUELS OUTLET REGULATIONS BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, the Clean Fuels Regulation, adopted in 1990 and amended in 2000, requires certain owner/lessors of retail gasoline stations to equip an appropriate number of their stations with clean alternative fuel once 20,000 or more low emission vehicles, including flexible

- fuel and dual

- fuel vehicles, certified on a particular clean fuel are projected to be opera ting in California; the regulation applies to ZEVs (a subset of LEVs) and ZEV fuels, but specifically excludes electricity;

WHEREAS, when the Clean Fuels Regulation was adopted, it was expected that automobile manufacturers would primarily use alternativ e fuels to meet California’s LEV standards; however, auto manufacturers met California’s LEV requirements using California reformulated gasoline and, as a result, produced and delivered fewer

numbers of alternative fuel LEV vehicles for sale in California than was expected when the regulation was adopted;

WHEREAS, the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) regulation, adopted in 2009 as a performance standard for reducing the carbon intensity of transportation fuels, has resulted in increased amounts o f ethanol in conventional gasoline blends, and while ZEV fuels like hydrogen have a significantly lower overall carbon intensity than gasoline and ethanol, the parties regulated under LCFS have thus far chosen to not pursue transportation hydrogen as an LC FS compliance option due to the high cost of installing fueling infrastructure;

WHEREAS, major oil companies have divested most or all of their retail gasoline outlets

since the Clean Fuels R egulation was adopted in 1990 and are now considered to be “owner/lessors” of substantially fewer stations, and three major oil companies and three convenience store and supermarket chains now comprise the six largest owner/lessors;

WHEREAS, staff considered expected ZEVs under future greenhouse gas fleet

standar ds for light

- duty vehicles, and concluded that the likely level of market penetration would not achieve the cost reductions needed for commercialization in the timeframe needed to meet long term emission reduction goals; and

WHEREAS, staff has proposed amendments to the Clean Fuels Regulation that would align with California’s long

- term greenhouse gas emission reduction goals by applying only to ZEVs and ZEV fuels with a review for plug

- in electric vehicles, shifting the requi rements to build outlets to the larger refiner/importers of gasoline, extending the

### Resolution 12

- 11 10

timeline for both vehicle projections and building outlets, adding a lower regional activation trigger, adding a penalty provision for auto manufacture r s and ending the

req uirement to build outlets sooner

.

PROPOSAL FOR ADVANCED CLEAN CARS

WHEREAS, staff developed the Advanced Clean Cars program, which combines the control of smog

- causing pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions into a single coordinated package of amendment s and requirements for model year 2015 through 2025, including a new iteration of the LEV criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas standards (LEV III), ZEV regulations, and Clean Fuels Outlet regulation;

WHEREAS, developing the proposed amendments to the LEV III and ZEV elements of

the Advanced Clean Cars rulemaking staff conducted five public workshop s , released concepts for public review, and held several focused stakeholder meetings throughout the rulemaking process, in order to involve the public and a ffected stakeholders in the regulatory development process;

WHEREAS, t he first workshop, on March 2, 2010, focused on preliminary elements of the proposed LEV III criteria pollutant emission standards and involved a presentation of

technical information f rom several studies that we re under evaluation for potential greenhouse gas emission reduction ; t he second workshop, on May 3, 2010, focused on staff’s initial proposal for modifications to the ZEV regulation ; t he third workshop, on May 18, 2010, went into more detail in several areas related to LEV III criteria pollutant

emissions and greenhouse gas emissions ; t he fourth workshop, on November 16, 2010, provided an update on proposed requirements for LEV III criteria emissions, a review of technologies to r educe vehicle greenhouse emissions in the 2017

- 2025 timeframe, a

discussion on California’s Environmental Performance label requirements, and proposed modifications to the ZEV program ; and the fifth workshop , on July 19, 2011,

solicited input on items rela ting to the Advanced Clean Cars rulemaking ;

WHEREAS, in developing the proposed amendments to the CFO Regulation, the staff

conducted three public workshops on April 1, 2010, May 26, 2010, and July 13, 2011, and conducted meetings and conference calls with energy companies, fuel providers, station developers, auto manufacturers and other interested parties;

WHEREAS, in developing the amendments to the CFO Regulation , staff worked in parallel with affected stakeholders to create a collaborative agreeme nt approach to ensuring adequate hydrogen fueling infrastructure and as a result developed a draft framework for a memorandum of agreement (MOA). The framework for this MOA would have the signing parties work together to create an incentive fund to support

establishment of hydrogen stations. The goal of this MOA would be to create a network of at least 100 stations with the cost of support estimated at $100 million ;

### Resolution 12

- 11 11

WHEREAS, a public hearing and other administrative proceedings have been held in

accordanc e with the provisions of chapter 3.5 (commencing with section 11340), part 1, division 3, title 2 of the Government Code;

- 11 14

Transitional Zero

- Emission Vehicles (TZEV ), for 2012 and subsequent

model years;

Extending the travel provision for BEVs, which allows ZEVs placed in any state that has adopted the California ZEV regulation to count towards the ZEV regulation through 2017;

Providing flexibility for IVMs by red ucing their overall requirement in 2015 through 2017 model years, to allow these manufacturers to prepare for requirements beginning in model year 2018;

Increasing credits for Type V (300 mile FCV) ZEVs to appropriately incentivize this longer term tech nology;

Adding Type I.5x and Type IIx vehicles, which are both range extended BEVs (i.e. BEVx vehicles which are BEVs with a backup auxiliary power unit, which does not operate until the energy storage device is fully depleted) as a compliance option for manufacturers to meet up to half of a manufacturer’s requirement that must be met with pure ZEVs; and

Removing carry forward credit limitations for ZEVs, allowing manufacturers to bank ZEV credits indefinitely for use in later years.

WHEREAS, in conjunc tion with a public hearing notice published December 7, 2011, staff proposed substantial amendments to the ZEV regulation and to the ZEV Standards and Test Procedures, as set forth in Attachment B hereto; these amendments include the following primary elem ents for 2018 and subsequent model years:

Increasing the overall ZEV requirements in 2018 and subsequent model years

, by modifying the credit percentage requirement and decreasing the number of credits earned per vehicle;

Focusing the regulation on long term greenhouse gas reduction technologies, which are ZEV and TZEVs, and by removing PZEV and AT PZEV credits compliance options for manufacturers, and allowing manufacturers to use banked PZEV and AT PZEV credits, at a discounted rate, to offset a portion of their obligation that may be met with TZEVs;

Amending IVM and LVM size definitions to bring all but the smallest manufacturers under the full ZEV requirements by model year 2018;

Basing credits for ZEVs on a linear function of zero emission range on the urban dynamometer drive schedule (UDDS), with 50 mile BEVs earning 1 credit each and 350 mile FCVs earning 4 credits each;

### Resolution 12

- 11 15

Simplifying and streamlining TZEV credit based on the vehicle’s zero

. 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) applicable 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

wide 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 f or 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 sta ndards and test procedures set forth in 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

- dut y vehicles that use diesel cycle engines, 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 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 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 passenger vehicles that are certified to the California exhaust emission standards

in sub section (a) and subsection 1961(a)(1), and are produced and 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).

### D

Date of Release: January 26, 2012; Proposed 15

- day Changes Date of Hearing: January 26, 2012 

### 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 Op tion 1. Once a manufacturer has selected compliance Option 2, that selection shall apply unless the manufacturer selects Option 1 and notifies the Executive Officer of that selection in writing prior to 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

st andards 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) Exhaust Emission Standards.

(1) “LEV III” Exhaust Standards . The following standards are the maximum exhaust emissions for the full useful life from new 2015 and subsequent model year “LEV III” passenger cars, light

- duty trucks, and medium

- duty vehicles, including fuel

flexible, bi

### 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 applicable, 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 cycle emission va lue in Equation 1. To determine compliance with the SFTP NMOG+NOx composite emission standard applicable to the model year, manufacturers shall use a sales

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

- weighted fleet average shall be calculated using a combination of

carry

where "n" = a manufacturer’s total number of PC, LDT, and, if applicable, MDPV certification bins, in a

given model year including carry

- over certification bins, certifying to SFTP composite emission standards in that model year;

“number of vehicles in the t est group” = the number of vehicles produced and delivered for sale in California in the certification test group; and "Composite Value of Bin" = the numerical value selected by the manufacturer for the certification

bin that serves as the emis sion standard for the vehicles in the test group with respect to all testing for test groups certifying to SFTP on a 150,000

- mile durability basis, and the SFTP carry

- over composite emission value, as described in footnote 7 of this table, for carry

- over L EV II test groups.

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 begin ning 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 section 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 equalized by the end of the specified time period. For t he 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 during the m odel 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

- day Changes Date of Hearing: January 26, 2012 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 hyd rocarbon 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 manufactur er shall 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 deem ed 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 di viding 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 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 category. to equalize the hydrocarbon debits that remain at the end of the three model year offset period: (1) hydrocarbon credits may be exchanged be tween passenger cars and light

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

- 3,750 pounds LVW , and light

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

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

- 8,500 p ounds 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 descri bed in the “California Evaporative Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2001 and Subsequent Model Motor Vehicles,” incorporated by reference in section 1976(c), and demonstrated on a stabilized canister system.

Vehicles with a non

- integrated refueli ng canister

- only system are exempt from the canister bleed

emission standard.



### 2. Phase

emission standards set f orth 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 ma nufacturer 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

- in schedule shall comply with the requirements for 2004 through 2014 model motor vehicles, as described in section 1976(b)(1)(F).

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 including 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 schedule 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 certify 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 perce ntage of vehicles 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 proj ected sales for these model years in lieu of actual sales.

same gaseo us 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 applicable, 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 t he SFTP NMOG+NOx composite emission standard applicable to the model year, manufacturers 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 calculate d using a combination of carry

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 begin ning 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 section 43211 civil penalty applicable to a manufact urer 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 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+NOx 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, 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).

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 shall apply unless the manufacturer selects Option 1 and notifies the Executive Officer of that selection in writing prior to the start of the applicable model year.

2. When a manufacturer is demonstrating compliance using Option 2 for a given mode l 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 Clea n 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 Col umbia and for each individual state within the average and the City 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

exh aust emission standards to which the federal model is certified. However, where the federal exhaust emission standards for the particular emissions bin and the California standards for a vehicle emissions category are equally stringent, the California mod el may only be certified to either the California standards for that vehicle emissions category 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 Februar y 10, 2000. A California vehicle model is to be treated as equivalent to a federal vehicle 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 150,000

- day Changes Date of Hearing: Janua r y 26 , 201 2 (A) Calculation of Hydrocarbon Credits or Debits. For each emission standard category in the model year, a manufacturer shall calculate the hydrocarbon credits or debits, as fo llows:

[(Applicable Hydrocarbon Emission Standard for the Emission Standard Category)

– (Manufacturer’s Fleet

- Average Hydrocarbon Emission Value for the Emission Standard Category)] X (Total Number of Affected Vehicles)

where “Total Number of Affected Ve hicles” = the total number of vehicles in the evaporative families participating in the fleet

- average option, which are produced and delivered for sale in California, for the emission standard category of the given model year.

A negative number constitute s 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 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.

(B) Procedure for Offsetting Hydrocarbon Debits. A manufacturer shall offset hydrocarbon debits with hydrocarbon credits for each emission standard category within th ree 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 applic able 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

stand ard 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 hydrocarbon credits from the emission standard categories of (1) passenger cars and li ght

- 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 category. 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

standard shall be determined based on the Bleed Emission Test Procedure described in section III.D.12. of these procedures and demonstrated on a stabilized canister system. Vehi cles with a non

(ii) Phase

- In Schedule. For each model year, a manufacturer shall certify, at a minimum, the specified percentage of its vehicle fleet to

th e evaporative emission standards set forth in section I.E.1.(e)(i), according to the implementation schedule set forth below. For the purpose of this section I.E.1.(e)(ii), the manufacturer's vehicle fleet consists of the vehicles produced and delivered f or sale by the manufacturer in California that are subject to the emission standards in section I.E.1.(e)(i). All 2015 through 2022 model motor vehicles that are not subject to these standards pursuant to the phase

(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) meet ing the new requirements in each model year by the number of years implemented prior to and including 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 schedule 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

(3) The 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

det ermined by averaging the percentage of vehicles certified to the emission standards in section I.E.1.(c) in each of the manufacturer’s 2012, 2013, and 2014 model motor vehicle fleets. For the purpose of calculating this average, a

manufacturer shall use t he percentage of vehicles 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.
