ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE STANDARDS FOR 2009 AND SUBSEQ UENT MODEL YEAR PASSENGER CARS, LIGHT-DUTY TRUCKS, AND MEDIUM- DUTY

VEHICLES.

All of the text shown below is new language to be a dded to the California Code of Regulations. Adopt new section 1962.1, title 13, C alifornia Code of Regulations, to read:

§ 1962.1 Zero-Emission Vehicle Standards for 2009 and Subsequent Model

Year Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium- Duty Vehicles.

(a) ZEV Emission Standard. The Executive Officer shall certify new 2009 and subsequent model passenger cars, light-duty tru cks and medium-duty vehicles as ZEVs if the vehicles produce zero exhaust emissions of any criteria pollutant (or precursor pollutant) under any and all possible ope rational modes and conditions.

(b) Percentage ZEV Requirements.

(1) General Percentage ZEV Requirement.

(A) Basic Requirement. The minimum percentage ZEV requirement for

each manufacturer is listed in the table below as t he percentage of the PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s to the extent required by section (b)(1)( C), produced by the manufacturer

and delivered for sale in California that must be Z EVs, subject to the conditions in this section 1962.1(b).

Model Years Minimum ZEV Requirement

2009 through 2011 11 % 2012 through 2014 12 % 2015 through 2017 14 % 2018 and subsequent 16 %

(B) Calculating the Number of Vehicles to Which the Per centage ZEV Requirement is Applied

. For the 2009 through 2011 model years, a manufact urer’s production volume of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s as ap plicable, produced and

delivered for sale in California will be based on t he three-year average of the manufacturer’s volume of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s a s applicable, produced and delivered for sale in California in the 2003 throug h 2005 model years. For 2012 and subsequent model years, a manufacturer’s production volume for the given model year will be based on the three-year average of the manu facturer’s volume of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s, as applicable, produced and deliv ered for sale in California in the prior fourth, fifth and sixth year [for example, 20 13 model year ZEV requirements will beFinal Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 2 based on California production volume of PCs and LD Ts, and LDT2s as applicable, for the 2007 to 2009 model years]. This production ave raging is used to determine ZEV requirements only, and has no effect on a manufactu rer’s size determination. As an alternative to the three-year averaging of prior ye ar production described above, a manufacturer may elect to base its ZEV obligation o n the number of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s, as applicable, produced by the manufactu rer and delivered for sale in California that same model year. For 2012 and subs equent model years, a manufacturer may, on an annual basis, select either the three-year average or the same model-year calculation method. In applying th e ZEV requirement, a PC, LDT1, or LDT2 as applicable, that is produced by one manufac turer (e.g., Manufacturer A), but is marketed in California by another manufacturer (e.g ., Manufacturer B) under the other manufacturer’s (Manufacturer B) nameplate, shall be treated as having been produced by the marketing manufacturer (Manufacturer B).

(C) Phase-in of ZEV Requirements for LDT2s

. Beginning with the ZEV requirements for the 2009 model year, a manufac turer’s LDT2 production shall be included in determining the manufacturer’s overall ZEV requirement under section (b)(1)(A) in the increasing percentages shown in th e table below.

2009 2010 2011 2012+

51% 68% 85% 100%

(D) Exclusion of ZEVs in Determining a Manufacturer’s S ales

Volume. In calculating, for purposes of sections 1962.1(b )(1)(B) and 1962.1(b)(1)(C), the volume of PCs, LDT1s and LDT2s a manufacturer h as produced and delivered for sale in California, the manufacturer shall exclude the number of ZEVs produced by the manufacturer, or by a subsidiary in which the manuf acturer has a greater than 50 percent ownership interest, and delivered for sale in California.

(2) Requirements for Large Volume Manufacturers.

(A) Primary Requirements for Large Volume Manufacturers through Model Year 2011

.

In the 2009 through 2011 model years, a manufacture r must meet at least 22.5 percent of its ZEV requirement with ZEVs or ZE V credits generated by such vehicles, and at least another 22.5 percent with ZE Vs, AT PZEVs, or credits generated by such vehicles. The remainder of the manufacture r’s ZEV requirement may be met using PZEVs or credits generated by such vehicles.Final Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

g. Carry-over of Excess Credits

. ZEV credits generated from excess production in model years 2005 through 2008 may be carried forward and applied to the 2009 through 2011 minimum floor requ irement specified in section 1962.1(b)(2)(B)1.b. provided that the value of thes e carryover credits shall be based onFinal Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 4 the model year in which the credits are used. Begi nning with the 2012 model year, these credits may no longer be used to meet the ZEV requirement; they may be used as Enhanced AT PZEV, AT PZEV, or PZEV credits. ZEV credits earned in model year 2009 and subsequent would be allowed to be carried forward for two years for application to the ZEV requirement. For example, Z EV credit earned in the 2010 model year would retain full flexibility through the 2012 model year, at which time that credit could only be used as Enhanced AT PZEV, AT PZEV, or PZEV credits, and could not be used to satisfy the ZEV credit obligation, which may only be satisfied with credit generated from ZEVs.

h. Failure to Meet Requirement for Production of ZEVs

. A manufacturer that, after electing the alternative r equirements in section 1962.1(b)(2)(B) for any model year from 2009 through 2011, fails to meet the requirement in section 1962.1(b)(2)(B)1.b. by the end of the 2011 model year, shall be treated as subject to the primary requirements in section 1962 .1(b)(2)(A) for the 2009 through 2011 model years.

i. Rounding Convention. The number of ZEVs needed for a manufacturer under section 1962.1(b)(2)(B)1.b. shal l be rounded to the nearest whole

number.

2. Compliance with Percentage ZEV Requirements. In the 2009 through 2011 model years, a manufacturer electing t he alternative compliance requirements in a given model year must meet at lea st 45 percent of its ZEV requirement for that model year with ZEVs, AT PZEVs or Enhanced AT PZEVs, or credits generated from such vehicles. ZEV credits generated for compliance with the alternative requirements during any given model yea r will be applied to the 45 percent which may be met with ZEVs, AT PZEVs, Enhanced AT P ZEVs, or credits generated from such vehicles, but not PZEVs. The remainder o f the manufacturer’s ZEV requirement may be met using PZEVs or credits gener ated from such vehicles.

3. Sunset of Alternative Requirements after the 2011 M odel Year. The alternative requirements in section 1962.1(b)(2 )(B) are not available after the 2011 model year.

(C) Election of the Primary or Alternative Requirements for Large Volume Manufacturers for the 2009 through 2011 Mode l Years

. A manufacturer shall be subject to the primary ZEV requirements fo r the 2009 model year unless it notifies the Executive Officer in writing prior to the start of the 2009 model year that it is electing to be subject to the alternative complianc e requirements for that model year. Thereafter, a manufacturer shall be subject to the same compliance option as applied in the previous model year unless it notifies the E xecutive Officer in writing prior to the start of a new model year that it is electing to sw itch to the other compliance option for that new model year. However, a manufacturer that has previously elected the primary ZEV requirements for one or more of the 2009 throug h 2011 model years may prior to the end of the 2011 model year elect the alternativ e compliance requirements for theFinal Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

(4) Requirements for Small Volume Manufacturers and Ind ependent Low

Volume Manufacturers

. A small volume manufacturer or an independent low volume manufacturer is not required to meet the percentage ZEV requirements. However, a small volume manufacturer or an independent low vol ume manufacturer may earn and market credits for the ZEVs or PZEVs it produces an d delivers for sale in California.

(5) Counting ZEVs and PZEVs in Fleet Average NMOG Calcu lations

. For the purposes of calculating a manufacturer’s fleet average NMOG value and NMOG credits under sections 1961(b) and (c), a vehicle c ertified as a ZEV is counted as one ZEV, and a PZEV is counted as one SULEV certified t o the 150,000 mile standards regardless of any ZEV or PZEV multipliers.

(7) Changes in Small Volume, Independent Low Volume, an d

Intermediate Volume Manufacturer Status.

(A) Increases in California Production Volume

. In 2009 and subsequent model years, if a small volume manufactu rer’s average California production volume exceeds 4,500 units of new PCs, L DTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produced and delivered f or sale for the three previous consecutive model years, or if an independent low v olume manufacturer’s average California production volume exceeds 10,000 units o f new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produced an d delivered for sale for the three previous consecutive model years, the manufacturer shall no longer be treated as a small volume, or independent low volume manufacture r, as applicable, and shall comply with the ZEV requirements for intermediate v olume manufacturers, as applicable, beginning with the sixth model year aft er the last of the three consecutive model years.Final Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 7

If an intermediate volume manufacturer’s average Ca lifornia production volume exceeds 60,000 units of new PCs, LDTs, and M DVs based on the average number of vehicles produced and delivered for sale for the three previous consecutive model years (i.e., total production volume exceeds 180,000 vehicles in a three-year period), the manufacturer shall no longer be treate d as an intermediate volume manufacturer and shall, beginning with the sixth mo del year after the last of the three

consecutive model years, comply with all ZEV requirements for LVMs.

Requirements will begin in the fourth model year ra ther than the sixth model year when a manufacturer ceases to be a small or intermediate volume manufacturer in 2003 or subsequent years due to the aggregation requirements in majority ownership situations, except that if the m ajority ownership in the manufacturer was acquired prior to the 2001 model year, the manu facturer must comply with the stepped-up ZEV requirements starting in the 2010 mo del year.

(B) Decreases in California Production Volume

. If a manufacturer’s average California production volume falls below 4, 500, 10,000, or 60,000 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs, as applicable, based on the av erage number of vehicles produced and delivered for sale for the three previ ous consecutive model years, the manufacturer shall be treated as a small volume, in dependent low volume, or intermediate volume manufacturer, as applicable, an d shall be subject to the requirements for a small volume, independent low vo lume, or intermediate volume manufacturer beginning with the next model year.

(C) Calculating California Production Volume in Change of Ownership Situations. Where a manufacturer experiences a change in owners hip in a particular model year, the change will affect app lication of the aggregation requirements on the manufacturer starting with the next model year. The

manufacturer’s small or intermediate volume manufac turer status for the next model year shall be based on the average California produ ction volume in the three previous consecutive model years of those manufacturers whos e production volumes must be aggregated for that next model year. For example, where a change of ownership during the 2010 model year results in a requirement that the production volume of Manufacturer A be aggregated with the production vo lume of Manufacturer B, Manufacturer A’s status for the 2011 model year wil l be based on the production

volumes of Manufacturers A and B in the 2008-2010 m odel years. Where the production volume of Manufacturer A must be aggrega ted with the production volumes of Manufacturers B and C for the 2010 model year, a nd during that model year a change in ownership eliminates the requirement that Manufacturer B’s production volume be aggregated with Manufacturer A’s, Manufac turer A’s status for the 2011 model year will be based on the production volumes of Manufacturers A and C in the 2008-2010 model years. In either case, the lead ti me provisions in sections 1962.1(b)(7)(A) and (B) will apply.Final Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

(f) Extended Service Multiplier for 1997-2003 Model Yea r ZEVs and

PZEVs With ≥

10 Mile Zero-Emission Range. Except in the case of a NEV, an additional ZEV or PZEV multiplier will be earned by the manufacturer of a 1997 through 2003 model year ZEV, or PZEV with ≥ 10 mile zero-emission range for each full year it is registered for operation on public roads in Cali fornia beyond its first three years of service, in the 2009 through 2011 calendar years. For additional years of service starting earlier than April 24, 2003, the manufactu rer will receive 0.1 times the ZEV credit that would be earned by the vehicle if it we re leased or sold new in that year, including multipliers, on a year-by-year basis begi nning in the fourth year after the vehicle is initially placed in service. For additi onal years of service starting April 24, 2003 or later, the manufacturer will rece ive 0.2 times the ZEV credit that would be earned by the vehicle if it were leased or sold new in that year, including multipliers, on a year-by-year basis beginning in the fourth yea r after the vehicle is initially placed in service. The extended service multiplier is report ed and earned in the year following each continuous year of service. Additional credit cannot be earned after model year 2011.

(g) Generation and Use of ZEV Credits; Calculation of P enalties

(1) Introduction. A manufacturer that produces and delivers for sal e in California ZEVs or PZEVs in a given model year exce eding the manufacturer’s ZEVFinal Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 17 requirement set forth in section 1962.1(b) shall ea rn ZEV credits in accordance with this section 1962.1(g).

(2) ZEV Credit Calculations.

(A) Credits from ZEVs. The amount of g/mi ZEV credits earned by a manufacturer in a given model year from ZEVs shall be expressed in units of g/mi NMOG, and shall be equal to the number of credits f rom ZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California that the manufacturer applie s towards meeting the ZEV requirements for the model year subtracted from the number of ZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California by the manufacture r in the model year and then multiplied by the NMOG fleet average requirement fo r PCs and LDT1s, or LDT2s as applicable, for that model year.

(B) Credits from PZEVs. The amount of g/mi ZEV credits from PZEVs earned by a manufacturer in a given model yea r shall be expressed in units of g/mi NMOG, and shall be equal to the total number o f PZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California that the manufacturer applie s towards meeting its ZEV requirement for the model year subtracted from the total number of PZEV allowances from PZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California by th e manufacturer in the model year and then multiplied by the NMOG fleet average requireme nt for PCs and LDT1s, or LDT2s as applicable, for that model year.

(C) Separate Credit Accounts. The number of credits from a manufacturer’s [i] ZEVs, [ii] Enhanced AT PZEVs, [i ii] AT PZEVs, [iv] all other PZEVs, and [v] NEVs shall each be maintained separately.

(3) ZEV Credits for MDVs and LDTs Other Than LDT1s

. ZEVs and PZEVs classified as MDVs or as LDTs other than LDT1s may be counted toward the ZEV requirement for PCs, LDT1s and LDT2s as applicable, and included in the calculation of ZEV credits as specified in this section 1962.1(g) if the manufacturer so designates.

(4) ZEV Credits for Advanced Technology Demonstration P rograms. In model years 2009 through 2014, ZEVs and Enhanced AT PZEVs, excluding NEVs, placed in a California advanced technology demonstr ation program for a period of two or more years, may earn ZEV credits even if it is n ot “delivered for sale” or registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (D MV). To earn such credits, the

manufacturer must demonstrate to the reasonable sat isfaction of the Executive Officer that the vehicles will be regularly used in applica tions appropriate to evaluate issues related to safety, infrastructure, fuel specificati ons or public education, and that for 50 percent or more of the first two years of placem ent the vehicle will be operated in California. Such a vehicle is eligible to receive the same allowances and credits that it would have earned if placed in service. To determi ne vehicle credit, the model year designation for a demonstration vehicle shall be co nsistent with the model year designation for conventional vehicles placed in the same timeframe. Manufacturers may earn credit for as many as 25 vehicles per mode l, per ZEV state, per year underFinal Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 18 this section 1962.1(g)(4). A manufacturer’s vehicl es in excess of the 25-vehicle cap will not be eligible for advanced technology demonstrati on program credits.

(5) ZEV Credits for Transportation Systems.

(A) General

. In model years 2009 and subsequent, a ZEV placed, for two or more years, as part of a transportation syst em may earn additional ZEV credits, which may be used in the same manner as other credi ts earned by vehicles of that category, except as provided in section (g)(5)(C) b elow. In model years 2009 through 2011, an Enhanced AT PZEV, AT PZEV or PZEV placed a s part of a transportation system may earn additional ZEV credits, which may b e used in the same manner as other credits earned by vehicles of that category, except as provided in section (g)(5)(C) below. A NEV is not eligible to earn credit for tr ansportation systems. To earn such credits, the manufacturer must demonstrate to the r easonable satisfaction of the

Executive Officer that the vehicle will be used as a part of a project that uses an innovative transportation system as described in se ction (g)(5)(B) below.

(B) Credits Earned

. In order to earn additional credit under this section (g)(5), a project must at a minimum demonst rate [i] shared use of ZEVs, Enhanced AT PZEVs, AT PZEVs or PZEVs, and [ii] the application of “intelligent” new technologies such as reservation management, card s ystems, depot management, location management, charge billing and real-time w ireless information systems. If, in addition to factors [i] and [ii] above, a project a lso features linkage to transit, the project may receive further additional credit. For ZEVs on ly, not including NEVs, a project that features linkage to transit, such as dedicated park ing and charging facilities at transit stations, but does not demonstrate shared use or th e application of intelligent new technologies, may also receive additional credit fo r linkage to transit. The maximum credit awarded per vehicle shall be determined by t he Executive Officer, based upon an application submitted by the manufacturer and, if a ppropriate, the project manager.

The maximum credit awarded shall not exceed the fol lowing:

(C) Cap on Use of Credits

.

1. ZEVs

. Credits earned or allocated by ZEVs pursuant to t his section (g)(5), not including all credits earned by the vehicle itself, may be used to satisfy up to one-tenth of a manufacturer’s ZEV obl igation in any given model year, and may be used to satisfy up to one-tenth of a manufac turer’s ZEV obligation which must be met with ZEVs, as specified in section 1962.1(b) (2)(D)3.

2. Enhanced AT PZEVs

. Credits earned or allocated by Enhanced AT PZEVs pursuant to this section (g)(5), not inclu ding all credits earned by the vehicle itself, may be used to satisfy up to one-tenth of a manufacturer’s ZEV obligation in any given model year, but may only be used in the same manner as other credits earned by vehicles of that category.

3. AT PZEVs

. Credits earned or allocated by AT PZEVs pursuant to this section (g)(5), not including all credits earn ed by the vehicle itself, may be used to satisfy up to one-twentieth of a manufacturer’s ZEV obligation in any given model year, but may only be used in the same manner as other cr edits earned by vehicles of that category.

4. PZEVs

. Credits earned or allocated by PZEVs pursuant to this section (g)(5), not including all credits earned by the vehicle itself, may be used to satisfy up to one-fiftieth of the manufacturer’s ZE V obligation in any given model year, but may only be used in the same manner as other cr edits earned by vehicles of that category.

(D) Allocation of Credits

. Credits shall be assigned by the Executive Officer to the project manager or, in the absence o f a separate project manager, to the vehicle manufacturers upon demonstration that a veh icle has been placed in a project.

Credits shall be allocated to vehicle manufacturers by the Executive Officer in

accordance with a recommendation submitted in writi ng by the project manager and signed by all manufacturers participating in the pr oject, and need not be allocated in direct proportion to the number of vehicles placed.

(6) Use of ZEV Credits

. A manufacturer may meet the ZEV requirements in any given model year by submitting to the Executive Officer a commensurate amount of g/mi ZEV credits, consistent with section 1962.1(b) . Credits in each of the categories may be used to meet the requirement for that catego ry as well as the requirements for lesser credit earning ZEV categories, but shall not be used to meet the requirement for a greater credit earning ZEV category. For example , credits produced from Enhanced AT PZEVs may be used to comply with AT PZEV require ments, but not with the portion

that must be satisfied with ZEVs. These credits ma y be earned previously by the manufacturer or acquired from another party.Final Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 20

(A) NEVs. Credits earned from NEVs offered for sale or placed in service in model years 2001 through 2005 cannot be used to satisfy more than the percentage limits described in the following table:

Model

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 21 This limitation applies to NEV credits earned by th e same manufacturer or earned by another manufacturer and acquired.

(B) Carry forward provisions for LVMs

. ZEV credits generated from excess production in model years 2009 and subsequen t, including those acquired from another party, may be carried forward and applied t o the ZEV minimum floor requirement specified in sections 1962.1(b)(2)(B)1. b. and (b)(2)(D) for two subsequent model years. Beginning with the third subsequent m odel year, those earned ZEV credits may no longer be used to satisfy the manufa cturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may only be satisfied by credits from ZEVs, bu t may be used to satisfy the manufacturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may b e satisfied by credits from Enhanced AT PZEVs, AT PZEVs, or PZEVs. For example , ZEV credit earned in 2010 would retain full flexibility through 2012, after w hich time that credit could only be used as Enhanced AT PZEV, AT PZEV, or PZEV credits.

(C) Carry forward provisions for manufacturers other than LVMs

. ZEV credits generated from 2009 and subsequent mode l year production by manufacturers that are not LVMs may be carried forw ard by the manufacturer producing the ZEV credit until the manufacturer bec omes subject to the LVM requirements, after the transition period permitted in section 1962.1(b)(7)(A). When subject to the LVM requirements, a manufacturer mus t comply with the provisions of section 1962.1(g)(6)(B).

ZEV credits traded by a manufacturer other than a L VM to any other manufacturer, including a LVM, are subject to section 1962.1(g)(6 )(B), beginning in the model year in which they were produced (e.g., a 2009 model year Z EV credit traded in calendar year 2010 can only be applied towards the portion of the manufacturer’s requirement that must be met with ZEVs through model year 2011; begi nning in model year 2012, the credit can only be applied to the portion of the ma nufacturer’s requirement that may be met with Enhanced AT PZEVs, AT PZEVs, or PZEVs).

(7) Requirement to Make Up a ZEV Deficit

.

(A) General. A manufacturer that produces and delivers for sal e in California fewer ZEVs than required in a given mode l year shall make up the deficit by the end of the third model year by submitting to th e Executive Officer a commensurate amount of g/mi ZEV credits. The amount of g/mi ZEV credits required to be submitted shall be calculated by [i] adding the number of ZEV s produced and delivered for sale in California by the manufacturer for the model year t o the number of ZEV allowances from partial ZEV allowance vehicles produced and de livered for sale in California by the manufacturer for the model year (for a LVM, not to exceed that permitted under section 1962.1(b)(2)), [ii] subtracting that total from the number of ZEVs required to be produced and delivered for sale in California by th e manufacturer for the model year, and [iii] multiplying the resulting value by the fl eet average requirements for PCs and LDT1s for the model year in which the deficit is in curred.Final Regulation Order – Part 5 Final §1962.1

Hearing Date: 03/27/08 Adopted: 12/17/08 22 (8) Penalty for Failure to Meet ZEV Requirements. Any manufacturer that fails to produce and deliver for sale in California the required number of ZEVs and submit an appropriate amount of g/mi ZEV credits an d does not make up ZEV deficits within the specified time allowed by section 1962.1 (g)(7)(A) shall be subject to the Health and Safety Code section 43211 civil penalty applicable to a manufacturer that sells a new motor vehicle that does not meet the ap plicable emission standards adopted by the state board. The cause of action sh all be deemed to accrue when the ZEV deficits are not balanced by the end of the spe cified time allowed by section 1962.1(g)(7)(A). For the purposes of Healt h and Safety Code section 43211, the number of vehicles not meeting the state board’ s standards shall be calculated according to the following equation, provided that the percentage of a LVM’s ZEV requirement for a given model year that may be satisfied with PZEV allowance vehicles or credits from such vehicles may not exce ed the percentages permitted under section 1962.1(b)(2)(A):

(No. of ZEVs required to be produced and delivered for sale in California for the model year) - (No. of ZEVs produced and delivered f or sale in California for the model year) - (No. of ZEV allowances from partial Z EV allowance vehicles produced and delivered for sale in California for t he model year) - [(Amount of ZEV credits submitted for the model year) / (the fl eet average requirement for PCs and LDT1s for the model year)]
