OF NAME OF AGENCY Statement of Purpose Environmental Protection

Statement 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 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 of all vehicle models of the same model year for that class of cars. 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 CaliforniaAir 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 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(b) and (e) in accordance with Public Act 07-167 to eliminate composite motor vehicles fromConnecticut's motorvehicle inspection program .
