### EXHIBIT E ATTACHEMENT J HEARING REPORT Prepared Pursuant to Section 4-168(d) of the Connecticut General Statutes and Section 22a-3a-3(d)(5) of the Department of Environmental Protection Rules of Practice

Regarding Regulations for the Abatement ofAir Pollution: Proposed Amendments of Section 22a-174-36b and Proposed Amendment of Section 22a-174-27 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies Hearing Officer: Patrice Kelly Date of Hearing: December 18, 2008 I . Introduction On November 4, 2008, the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) signed a notice of intent to amend section 22a-174-36b (section 36b) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (R.C.S.A .) concerning the Low

Emission Vehicles 11 (LEV) program

and to amend section 22a-174-27 (section 27) ofthe R .C.S.A. concerning the state Inspection and Maintenance program . Pursuant to such notice, apublic hearing was held on December 18, 2008. The public comment period for the proposed amendments was initially scheduled to close on December 18, 2008, but was extended for twoweeks until January2, 2009 . As required by section 4-168(d) ofthe Connecticut General Statutes (C.G.S.), this report describes the regulations proposed forhearing; the principal reasons for support of the Department's proposed amendments; the principal considerations presented in oral and written comments in opposition to the Department's proposed amendments; all comments and responses thereto on the proposed amendments; and the final wording of the proposed regulation. Those individuals who submitted timely comments are identified in Attachment 2 . This report also contains a statement pursuant to C.G.S. section 22a-6(h) . II . Compliance with Section 22a-6(h) of the Connecticut General Statutes Pursuant to section 22a-6(h) of the Connecticut General Statutes, the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (Commissioner) is authorized to adopt regulations pertaining to activities for which the federal government has adopted standards or procedures. At the time of public notice, the Commissioner must distinguish clearly all provisions of a regulatory proposal that differ fromfederal standards or procedures either within the regulatory language or through supplemental documentation accompanying the proposal . In addition, the Commissioner must provide an explanation for all such provisions in the regulation-making record required under C .G.S. Title 4, Chapter 54 and make such explanation publicly available at the time of the notice ofpublic hearing required under C.G.S. section 4-168 .In accordance with the requirements of C .G.S. section 22a-6(h), the following statement is entered into the public administrative record in the matter of the proposed revisions to various sections of the air quality regulations, as scheduled for public hearing on December 18, 2008. The Department has performed a comparison of the proposed revisions with analogous federal laws andregulations, namely the Clean Air Act (CAA) and standards and procedures in section 40 ofthe Code of Federal Regulations. Asection-by-section comparison of the proposal with federal standards and procedures follows. With respect to the amendment ofsection 22a-174-36b concerning the LEVprogram, the revisions are intended to maintain the consistency of Connecticut's LEVprogram with California's LEV program in three respects: recall and warranty; labeling; and the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) requirements and travel provisions. Connecticut is required to maintain consistency with the California program under Section 177 of the CAA . There are two emissions programs in the United States, the federal emissions program located in Title II ofthe CAAand a similar California LEVprogram . The U .S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted the California programa waiver under section 209 ofthe CAA because it considers the California program to be " . . .at least as protective of public health and welfare as applicable federal standards." The California and federal programs contain similar elements with a few specific distinctions. The specific distinctions include: " Recalls under the California recall requirements are independent of recalls under the federal programsuch that, on a case by case basis, the recall provisions may produce different results; and " There are no comparable federal requirements for environmental performance labeling. The EPA does rate vehicles with respect to environmental performance characteristics but does not have a mandatory labeling program ; and " For the ZEVrequirements, California's program elements require manufacturers to sell more of the lower emitting vehicle classes compared to the federal program . With respect to the amendment of section 22a-174-27(e) concerning the motor vehicle emissions inspection program, there are no comparable federal standards or procedures. The revision ofsection 22a-174-27(e) is an exemption for compositevehicles consistent with a state statutory change made in 2007. Federal requirements under the CAAspecify when a state must adopt an emissions inspection programand the general goals the state program must meet, but do not specify the precise requirements of a state program . 111. Background, Summary, and Text of the Regulatory Amendments as Proposed Back2round On June 6, 2006, the Governor of the State of Connecticut signed into law Public Act 06-161, which the General Assembly adopted on May 3, 2006 . Public Act 06-161 as codified in C .G.S.section 22a-201a requires the Commissioner to adopt environmental performance labeling of

vehicles by January 1, 2009, consistent with California's recent programchanges. In June 2008, California adopted new environmental performance labeling specifications. Connecticut's adoption of those labeling specifications under section 36bwill satisfy the requirements of Public Act 06-161 . . California has also amended its rules regarding its LEVrecall and warranty provisions, and its requirements for the ZEVprogram, including the ZEVtravel provisions. California initially posted public notice of the rulemaking on February 8, 2008. California subsequently modified the text of its amendments andposted public notices on July 25, 2008, and October 3, 2008. Both notices were followed by a 15-day comment period. The CaliforniaAir Resources Board (CARB) formally adopted the changes on December 17, 2008 . The California Office of Administrative Law

formally approved the regulation on March 18, 2009. The regulation was filedwith the Secretary ofState and is effective on April 17, 2009. Connecticut is amending Section 36b to maintain consistency with the California ZEVamendments as is required by section 177 of the Clean Air Act. On June 25, 2007, the Governor of the State of Connecticut signed into law Public Act 07-167, which the General Assembly adopted on June 4, 2007. Public Act 07-167 as codified in C .G.S. section 14-164c(c) requires the Commissioner to amend regulations to exempt composite vehicles fromemissions testing requirements. The amendments to section 27 will satisfy the requirements of Public Act 07-167. Summary R .C.S.A . section 22a-174-36b, Low Emission Vehicle 11 Program . Section 36bserves as the basis for Connecticut's LEVprogram, which is modeled after California's LEVprogram . The amendments update R .C .S.A. section 22a-174-36b to be consistent with recent actions by California regarding its LEVprogramand in satisfaction of the statutory requirements of C .G.S. section 22a-201a. In particular, the revisions include the addition of environmental performance (EP) labeling for smog and greenhouse gas index scores. The labels must contain a smog score and a global warming score measuring the amount of greenhouse gas emissions fromthe vehicle compared to the average emissions ofall vehicle models ofthe same model year for that class ofvehicles. Acopy of the California EP label can be found in Attachment 4 to this report. The amendments will also modify the ZEVprogram . CARBhas amended its regulation that requires auto manufacturers to develop and commercialize ZEV technologies. The amendments have given manufacturers increased flexibility to comply with the ZEVrequirements, recognized and given credit to the environmental benefits of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and established ZEVcategories in recognition of new developments in fuel cell and battery electric vehicles (EV) . In addition, the amendments will revise the "travel provisions" contained in the ZEVprogram . The travel provision amendments will update the methods bywhich manufacturers will becredited when placing zero emission or other advanced technology vehicles in service in either

California or any state that has adopted California's LEVprogram . The amendments to the recall and warranty provisions incorporate technical changes that California has made to the LEVprogram . R .C .S.A . section 22a-174-27, Motor Vehicle Inspection Requirements. R .C.S.A . section 22a-174-27 establishes emissions standards and test requirements for the periodic motor vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program to assure that EPA required air quality benefits are achieved. The amendment will exempt composite vehicles from Connecticut's motor vehicle inspection program . According to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), a composite vehicle is defined as "Any motorvehicle, composed or assembled fromseveral parts of other motor vehicles, or the identification and body contours of which are so altered that the vehicle no longer bears the characteristics of any specific make of motor vehicle. Any vehicle not assembled by a manufacturer licensed as such in the State of Connecticut is classified as a composite motorvehicle."' These changes will affect a minimal number ofvehicles in Connecticut and will not have a significant impact on air quality in the state. Acopy of the proposed changes to section 36b and section 27 as proposed at the public hearing is contained in Attachment 1 to this report . IV . Principal Reasons in Support of the Proposed Amendments The proposed amendments made by the Department to section 36b meet requirements ofsection 177 ofthe federal Clean Air Act and Public Act 06-161 as codified in C .G.S. section 22a-201a. The recall, warranty, ZEV, and ZEV travel provision amendments will bring Connecticut in line with changes that California has made to its LEVprogramwhich serves as the basis for section 36b. The exemption of composite motor vehicles fromthe emissions inspection processes will meet the statutory requirements of Public Act 07-167. Connecticut Inspection and Maintenance Program data indicates in 2007 there were 359 composite motor vehicles in Connecticut. 2 After consideration ofexisting emission inspection exemptions found in 14-164(c) of the C .GS. there are approximately 100 ofthese vehicles that would be required to be inspected by the DMVeach year and exempting these vehicles will not have significant air quality impacts. V . Principal Reasons in Opposition of the Proposed Amendments The principal argument in opposition of the proposed rule changes was that the Department should not adopt the proposed ZEVprogram changes until California has finalized its ZEV rulemaking process. Other comments addressed technical changes that the Department should

Department's responses are set forth in detail in Section VI of this report. VI . Summary of Comments All comments submitted are summarized below with the Department's responses. Individuals submitting timely comment on the proposed amendments are identified in Attachment 2 to this report . When changes to the proposed text are indicated in response to comment, new text is in bold font and deleted text is in strikethrough font. Summaries of the comments submitted and the Department's responses are as follows: A . General Comments 1. Comment : The Department should not adopt the proposed ZEVprogram changes until California has finalized its ZEVrulemaking process. Both Mitsubishi and the Large Volume Manufacturers submitted this comment. Response: The Department was required to begin the rulemaking process shortly after California began its rulemaking process to ensure that Connecticut achieves identicality with California in a timely manner. The Department waited until after California's second 15-day notice of modifications to the ZEV amendment closed to hold a public hearing . The Department also extended the commentperiod for twoweeks to allowfor reviewofthe California ZEVamendments. Interested parties have therefore been given ample opportunity to review California's changes and comment on Connecticut's proposed changes to the ZEVprogram . Additionally, the Department has waited until the California ZEV amendments were finalized by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and approved by the California Office ofAdministrative Law before advancing these rule changes for final approval in Connecticut. The effective date of the California revisions has been entered, in lieu of the placeholder provided for the hearing version of the regulation, in threepositions in Table 36b-1 . Additionally the footnote explaining the use of the placeholders has been deleted ; the changes are as follows: Table 36b-1 California Code of Regulations (CCR)

. Specific Comments Comments by the Environmental Protection A ency 2 . Comment : EPAsupports Connecticut's proposed amendments to the LEV program . EPAhas reviewed the changes and found that the proposed amendments are consistent with the changes to the California LEVregulation. Response: The Department appreciates EPA's support for the proposed amendments and will continue its commitment to remaining consistent with California's LEVrule changes. 3 . Comment : EPAstates that since the LEVprogram is a control strategy listed in Connecticut's 2007 8-hour ozone attainment State Implementation Plan (SIP) the proposed changes to the LEVprogram, once they are final, should be submitted to EPAin an 8-hour ozone attainment SIPrevision. Response: The Department's LEVregulation is only included in the 8-hour ozone SIP as a weight-of-evidence measure and is not currently relied upon for SIPemissions reduction credits. The Department intends to take credit for the LEVprogramin the 8- hour ozone attainment SIP prepared to demonstrate compliance for the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. Comments by Mitsubishi 4 . Comment : Mitsubishi acknowledges the Department's efforts to maintain consistency with the California regulations and supports Connecticut's proposal as it will not require a state specific EP label . Mitsubishi will followCalifornia's regulation and apply all required environmental performance labels on a112009model year vehicles delivered for sale in Connecticut after January 1, 2009 . Response: The Department notes Mitsubishi's intent to comply with the EP label requirements starting on January 1, 2009. The Department appreciates Mitsubishi's initiative in early compliance with Connecticut's EP labeling requirements and in providing consumers with additional environmental information when they make vehicle purchasing decisions. Comments by The Connecticut Fund for the Environment 5 . Comment: The Connecticut Fund for the Environment (CFE) believes that the EP label being adopted inthis rulemaking does not meet its statutory requirements to have two greenhouse gas scores; one that compares the vehicle receiving the score to all vehicles in the same model year and another comparing the vehicle receiving the score to all vehicles in the same model class. CFE does not believe one score that combines both factors is sufficient . CFE would like the Department to work with the California Air Resources Board to develop a more comprehensive greenhouse gas label .Response: The Department believes that, at this time, it is most prudent to adopt the California environmental performance (EP) label . The California EP label has been developed using an extensive scientific database which takes into account the greenhouse gas emissions of the vehicle compared to both vehicles of the same model year and vehicles of the same class. It effectively incorporates the two greenhouse gas scores that are required by Public Act 06-161 . This offers the consumer the most comprehensive global warming score possible. In addition, California has extensively researched the formatting of their EP label and used consumer focus groups to provide feedback to create the most effective label for consumer education. In the Informative Digest that accompanied its rulemaking, California stated, "In designing the new EP label, staffturned to market research specialists for help and sought out consumer-based input from focus groups to provide clarity and understanding of a newly designed label," and, "Respondents stated that the information needs to be presented in a way that consumers find simple and understandable."4 Focus group research clearly indicates that simplicity of the EP label is the most important aspect ofthe label's effectiveness. Prior market research conducted by EPA, based on consumer focus groups, also found that, a simple scale from 1-10 for both Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gas emissions was recommend .5 After this extensive research, CARB concluded that "a simpler scale fromI-10 represents the optimal way to present emissions information ."6 Based on CARB's findings, Connecticut believes that the California EP label is the most effective label available at this time. Going forward the Department should workwith CARBto seek improvements in the EP label as necessary so that consumers have the best information in a user-friendly format . Comments bythe Large Volume Manufacturers 6 . Comment : The Large Volume Manufacturers suggest that the Department change the definition of "travel provision" in the amended regulations to include all types of ZEVs andnot just Type III ZEVs because California allowed additional types of ZEVs to gain credit under the travel provision. Response: The comment concerning the definition of "travel provision" in subsection (a) of section 36b is outside the scope of this proceeding. The inclusion ofadditional types of ZEVs in the travel provisions appears in sections 1962 and 1962.1 ofTitle 13 of the California Code, which are included by reference in the proposed revisions to subsection (e) ofsection 36b. Although the comment has merit, it should not be incorporated at this time, but should be reserved for consideration in a future amendment. In response to the comment, no change is recommended.

.arb.ca. og v/regact/2007/labels07/labe1s07 .htm , 4 Ibid. 5 Ibid. 6 Ibid.7. Comment : The Department should amend subsection (c)(2)(A) requirements that require

manufacturers to follow section 1962 of the California Code of Regulations (C.C.R .) to apply solely to MY 2008 because California's section 1962 requirements sunset after MY 2008. For 2009 and subsequent model years section 1962.1 requirements are applicable. The Large Volume Manufacturers suggest the phrase "In the 2008 model year" replace the phrase "Beginning with the 2008 Model Year" in subsection (c)(2)(A) . Response: The Department agrees with this comment and has incorporated the suggested revision in subsection (c)(2)(A) ofthe regulations by adding the word "In" and deleting the words "Beginning with" in line with the Commenter's suggested text . Through these changes, subparagraph (A) will clearly apply solely to the 2008 model year. The Department's recommended revision is as follows: (2) ZEV mandate

. (A) Beginning In the 2008 model year, each manufacturer's sales fleet of passenger cars and light duty trucks produced and delivered for sale in the State of Connecticut shall contain at least the same percentage of ZEVs subject to the same requirements, including early credit, banking, and travel provisions, set forth in the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, section 1962 using Connecticut specific vehicle numbers. It is also recommended that subsection (c)(1)(A) be revised to include the applicable 1962.1 requirements for 2009 and subsequent model years. The following change will make it clear that the section 1962.1 requirements are the proper ZEVrequirements for 2009 and subsequent model years. (c) Prohibitions and compliance requirements. (1) Unless subject to an exemption listed in subsection (d) of this section, no person shall sell or register, offer for sale or lease, import, deliver, purchase, rent, lease, acquire or receive a new 2008 or subsequent model year passenger car or light duty truck or a 2009 or subsequent model year medium-duty vehicle or medium-duty passenger vehicle in the State of Connecticut unless such vehicle is certified to California emission standards and meets: (A) The exhaust emission standards set forth in the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, sections 1956.8(g) or (h), 1960.1, 1961(a), of 1962(a) ;_or 1962.1(a) ;8

. Comment : The Large Volume Manufacturers suggest that the Alternative Compliance Path requirements in subsection (m) be revised by removing the "offer for sale" requirements for any type ofZEV that is allowed to gain credits through the newly amended travel provisions. They suggest that this modification be made by changing the phrases in subsections (m)(3)(E) and (m)(3)(D) from"including all ZEVs except type III ZEVs" to "including all ZEVs except ZEV types that qualify for the travel provisions under the California Code of Regulations sections 1962(d)(5)(D) and 1962.1(d)(5)(E) ." Response: The comment concerning the alternative compliance mechanismin subsection (m) is outside the scope of this proceeding. Subsection (m) is Connecticut's Alternative Compliance Mechanism ; it is limited to providing an alternative compliance mechanismto the subsection (c)(2)(A) requirements and only has effect in the 2008 model year because the alternative compliance mechanisms in subsection (m) end with the 2008 model year. Therefore, revisions to subsection (m) are not required. 9 . Comment : The Large Volume Manufacturers suggest that the alternative compliance path requirements in subsection (m) be changed by specifying a clear end date for the "offer for sale" requirements. They state that the California alternative compliance path is intended to be a transitional requirement and, as such, sunsets after the 2011 model year. They suggest that this change be made by adding the phrase "Through the 2011 model year" to the beginning of subsection (m)(2)(E) and deleting the words "operating under the alternative compliance path." Additionally a revision should be made to subsection (m)(3)(D) by adding the phrase "Through the 2011 model year" to the beginning of that subsection and deleting the words "Until such time as full compliance is achieved with the requirements ofsubsection (c)(2) ofthis section." Response: Please see the response to comment 8 . 10. Comment : The Large Volume Manufacturers suggest that the Department should maintain discretionary control of the "offer for sale" requirements. They suggest a change be made so that the Department would be able to work with the manufacturers to make ZEVvehicles available when the technology and infrastructure may best accommodate those vehicles. They suggest this be done by adding the phrase "unless the manufacturer can demonstrate to the Department's satisfaction that an alternative approach is better forthe advanced technology vehicle model that is being introduced" to the ends ofsubsections (m)(2)(E) and (m)(3)(d) . Response: Please see the response to comment 8. 11 . Additional Comment by Hearing Officer: The Statement of Purpose was drafted, along with original versions of the proposed amendment, following the passage of Public Act 06-161, which requires greenhouse gas labeling for new motor vehicles. To be consistent with the effective date of California's labeling requirement, the date, "October 1, 2009," in the Statement of Purpose should be replaced by "January 1, 2009," as is already reflected in the proposed revisions to subparagraph (c)(1)(1) ofsection 36b. Response: The Department recommends revising Statement of Purpose as follows: 10Statement of purpose: This amendment consists of revisions to two sections of the air quality regulations concerning motor vehicles. Specifically, the revisions include: Sections 1 through 3 of the amendment revise section 22a-174-36b of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (R .C.S.A.) in three respects: " First, section 22a-174-36b is updated in accordance with Public Act 06-161 to require manufacturers to place environmental performance labels starting on 2009 model year and later vehicles sold or leased in Connecticut on or after [October l, 2009] January 1, 2009. Labels must contain a smog score and a global warming score measuring the amount of greenhouse gas emissions fromthe car compared to the average emissions ofall vehicle models of the same model year for that class ofcars. The label will provide consumers with information on how

a vehicle purchase will affect the environment. " Second, section 22a-174-36b is updated in accordance with changes made to the California Air Resources Board low emissions vehicle program, which serves as the basis for R .C.S.A. section 22a-174-36b. The updatedprovisions include the "travel provisions" contained in the "zero emission vehicle" program . Travel provisions amend methods by which manufacturers are credited when placing zero emission or other advanced technology vehicles in service in either California or any state that has adopted California's motor vehicle emission control program under section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act. " Third, technical changes consistent with California's vehicle recall provisions are included. Section 4 revises R

.C.S.A. section 22a-174-27(e) in accordance with Public Act 07- 167 to eliminate composite motorvehicles fromConnecticut's motor vehicle inspection program

. VII . Final Text of the Proposed Amendment The final text of the proposed amendments to R .C.S .A . section 22a-174-36b and R .C .S.A. section 22a-174-27, as indicated in this hearing report is located at Attachment 3 to this report . VIII . Conclusion Based upon the comments submitted by interested parties and addressed in this Hearing Report, I recommend the proposed final regulation, as contained herein in Attachment 3, be submitted by 11the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection for Approval by the Attorney

General and the Legislative Regulations Review Committee.

HC .] Reserved. Statement of purpose: This amendment consists of revisions to two sections ofthe airquality regulations concerning motor vehicles. Specifically, the revisions include: Sections 1 through 3 of the amendment revise section 22a-174-36b of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (R.C.S .A .) in three respects: First, section 22a-174-36b is updated in accordance with Public Act 06-161 to require manufacturers to place environmental performance labels starting on 2009 model year and later vehicles sold or leased in Connecticut on or after October 1, 2009. Labels must contain a smog score and a global warming score measuring the amount of greenhouse gas emissions fromthe car compared to the average emissions ofall vehicle models of the same model year for that class ofcars. The label will provide consumers with information on how a vehicle purchase will affect the environment. Second, section 22a-174-36b is updated in accordance with changes made to the California Air Resources Board low emissions vehicle program, which serves as the basis for R .C.S.A. section 22a-174-36b. The updated provisions include the "travel provisions" contained in the "zero emission vehicle" program . Travel provisions amend methods by which manufacturers are credited when placing zero emission or other advanced technology vehicles in service in either California or any state that has adopted California's motor vehicle emission control program under section 177 ofthe federal Clean Air Act. " Third, technical changes consistent with California's vehicle recall provisions are included. Section 4revises R

.C.S.A. section 22a-174-27(e) in accordance with Public Act 07-167 to eliminate composite motor vehicles fromConnecticut's motor vehicle inspection program .
