### 1 Statement of the Air and Radiation Management Administration

Department of the Environment

for the Public Hearing Relating to Proposed Amendments to Regulation .02 under COMAR 26.11. 34 related to

Low Emissions Vehicle Program held on December 18 , 20 1 3 Bal timore, MD



### My name is Justin Mabrey. I am an engineer in t he Mobile Sources Control Program of the Air and Radiation Management Administration, Department of the Environment.
This public hearing is being held pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR Sec tion 51.102 and Sections 2

- 301 et.seq. of the Environment Article, Annotated Code of Maryland. It is also being held in conformance with the State Administrative Procedures Act under the State Government Article, beginning at Section 10

- 101.

Notice of th is hearing appeared in the:
Maryland Register on November 15 , 201 3 ; MDE's website from October 30 , 20 1 3 to December 18 , 201 3 ; Baltimore Sun on November 15 , 20 1 3 ; Saint Mary's Enterprise on November 15 , 20 1 3 ; Frederick News

- Post on November 15 , 201 3 ; Cec il Whig on November 15 , 201 3 ; Salisbury Daily Times on November 15 , 201 3 ; Cumberland Times

- News on November 15, 2013; and the Washington Post on November 14 , 20 1 3

. Copies of these notices were submitted for the record.
Copies of the proposed amendments and supporting documents were made available to the State Clearinghouse and are also submitted at this time into the hearing record. Copies of the proposed amendments and supporting documents were made available for public inspection at the Air and Radia tion Management Administration offices in Baltimore, Cumberland, and Salisbury, and at all local health departments or local air quality control offices.
The purpose of today's hearing is to give the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed amendm ents to Regulation .0 2 under COMAR 26.11. 34

. Summary
This proposed action is the administrative action necessary for Maryland’s program to remain consistent with the California program as required by Section 177 of the Clean Air Act.

### 2

The Maryland Cl ean Cars Act of 2007 required the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to adopt regulations implementing the California Clean Car P rogram

. The MDE’s 2007 implementing regulations adopted the applicable California regulations through incorporation by reference. The C alifornia program is a dynamic, changing program . This proposed action updates the Maryland regulations with changes that have occurred to the California program since they were last updated in 201 2

. These amendments update Marylan d’s program requirements to be consistent with California’s program requirements. This action is necessary since many of the California regulations that are incorporated into the Maryland regulation have been updated.
Summary of Proposed Changes

The i ndividual regulatory changes can be grouped into 2 areas:

 Non

- substantive changes to the heavy

- duty on

- board diagnostics (HD

- OBD) and OBD II standards.

 Allowing compliance with the National greenhouse gas (GHG) standards to satisfy the requirements of Cal ifornia’s GHG standard.

Economic Impact
Minimal additional burden or cost is expected as a result of these amendments. The changes to the GHG component will help manufacturers meet the more stringent requirements. The GHG changes provide manufactur ers the ability to comply with California’s regulations, for MY 2017

- 2025, through meeting the National GHG standards; much like the current regulation allows MY 2012

- 2016 compliance through meeting the National program. This will help streamline the repor ting requirements for manufacturers and reduce the regulatory burden for them.

Emissions Benefits
The OBD related changes to the regulations will not impact the program ’s emissions benefits. Allowing compliance with the National GHG program to satisfy compliance with the California (and thus Maryland’s) program requirements may have a small impact on the benefits. The emissions impact is expected to be insignificant since the National GHG program was developed in coordination with California and was d esigned to minimize differences in program requirements that ultimately impact the emissions benefits. Once the National program takes effect nationwide, all vehicles sold in the country will produce fewer GHG emissions, not just those sold in California and the other Clean Ca r states. Any benefit loss associated with this dual compliance mechanism will likely be recovered as these national vehicles travel through Maryland and enter the fleet through other means (used car sales, resident relocations, etc. )

### 3

Maryland’s State Implementation Plan (SIP)
These amendments will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to Maryland’s State Implementation Plan

.
Consideration of Comments
The Department will consider all comments on the amendments before making a decision to adopt th ese amendments
