STAFF REPORT: INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS 

2008 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE 

CALIFORNIA ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE PROGRAM REGULATIONS 

Public Hearing Date: March 27, 2008 

 Date of Initial Statement of Reasons: February 8, 2008 

Errata Release Date: February 19, 2008 

The errata materials presented below correct a table and a paragraph in the regulatory 

text contained in the Initial Statement of Reasons for the 2008 Proposed Amendments 

to the California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program Regulations (Staff Report), 

dated February 8, 2008. Text on page 3 that is shown in strikeout indicates where 

regulatory text has been deleted and text shown with underline indicates where text has 

been added. The corrected materials replace those made available and posted to the 

Air Resources Board rulemaking web site on February 8, 2008. The balance of the Staff 

Report remains the same as released on February 8, 2008. 

 

These modifications to the Staff Report and the regulatory text will also be made 

available in a Notice of Availability of Modified Text after the Board’s March 27, 2008 

public hearing. The Notice of Availability of Modified Text may contain additional 

substantive modifications as determined necessary and appropriate by the Board in 

response to comments received during the Board’s 45-day public comment period or 

presented to the Board in testimony or comments at the hearing itself.

Errata 

1. On page 19 of the staff report, Table 3.7 is replaced with the following table: 

2009-2011 2012- 2014 

AT-PZEV Type Description 

PreMultiplier Final Credit Final Credit 

Type E HEV 0.70 0.70 0.65 

CNG 

Compressed 

Natural Gas 

Engine 

0.70 0.70 0.70 

HICE 

Hydrogen Internal 

Combustion 

Engine 

2.30 6.90 2.30 

B12.5/ 80% ERF Blended PHEV 1.24 3.72 1.19 

B40/ 80% ERF Blended PHEV 1.78 5.34 1.73 

P10 AER PHEV 1.62 4.86 1.62 

P40 AER PHEV 2.40 7.20 2.40 

Column five of the table enumerates the proposed final credit amounts for 2012 

through 2014 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs); however, the originally 

published credit numbers are the product of an erroneous multiplier. The 

corrected Table 3.7 above reflects the proper final credit amounts for 2012 

through 2014 PHEVs. 

2. The text of title 13, CCR section 1962.1(b)(2)(B)1.b. contains three errors. 

First, it states that the cumulative percentage ZEV requirement is based upon a 

manufacturer’s average annual California sales of PCs and LDT1s. The requirement is 

actually based upon a manufacturer’s average annual California sales of PCs, LDT1s, 

and LDT2s. The LDT2 component is consistent with the LDT2 phase-in described in 

title 13, CCR section 1962.1(b)(1)(C). 

Second, the calculation to determine the percentage ZEV requirement is understated 

because it counts all manufacturer production in the denominator of the calculation 

instead of just the large volume manufacturer production. The percentage ZEV 

requirement has been recalculated using only the production numbers of the large 

volume manufacturers. 

Third, the ratio of Type I.5 to Type III vehicles was inadvertently omitted from the last 

sentence. 

The following paragraph shows the corrected regulatory language.

Requirement for the 2009-2011 Model Years. A large volume manufacturer 

electing to be subject to the alternative compliance requirements during model 

years 2009 through 2011 must produce, deliver for sale, and place in service in 

California enough 2009-2011 model-year Type III ZEVs to generate ZEV credits 

sufficient to meet a cumulative percentage ZEV requirement of 0.650.80 percent 

of the manufacturer’s average annual California sales of PCs, and LDT1s, and 

68 percent of LDT2s over the three year period from model years 20032004

through 20052006, or submit an equivalent number of credits generated by such 

vehicles. The manufacturer may meet this requirement with [i] 2009-2011 

model-year Type I, I.5, or Type II ZEVs, provided that 2 Type I ZEVs or 1.6 Type 

I.5 ZEVs or 1.33 Type II ZEVs or 0.8 Type IV ZEVs will equal one Type III ZEV.
