Suggested change:  Decouple GHG families from Criteria Pollutant families 
Comparison with LDOH:  Criteria Pollutant families ("Test Groups") decoupled from CAFE (and GHG) families ("Model Types") 

LDOH Test Group Determination For Criteria Pollutants §86.1827 - 01 (-12): 

Test group determination. This section applies to the grouping of vehicles into test groups within a durability group. 
 (a) To be included in the same test group, vehicles must be identical in all following respects: (1) Durability group; 
(2) Engine displacement (within a total band width of 15 percent of the largest displacement or 50 CID, which-ever is larger); 
(3) Number of cylinders or combustion chambers; 
 (4) Arrangement of cylinders or combustion chambers (e.g. in-line, v- shaped); 
5) Subject to the same emission standards (except for CO2), or FEL in the case of cold temperature NMHC standards, except that a manufacturer may request to group vehicles into the same test group as vehicles subject to more stringent standards, so long as all the vehicles within the test group are certified to the most stringent standards applicable to any vehicle within that test group. Light-duty trucks and light-duty vehicles may be included in the same test group if all vehicles in the test group are subject to the same emission standards, with the exception of the CO2 standard and/or the total HC standard. 

Greenhouse gas emission standards for light-duty vehicles, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles. §86.1818-12 : 

(ii) Calculation of fleet average CO2 standards for light trucks: 
In each model year manufacturers must comply with the CO2 exhaust emission standard for their light truck fleet, calculated for that model year as follows: 
(A) A CO2 target value shall be determined according to paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section for each unique combination of model type and footprint value. 
(B) Each CO2 target value, which represents a unique combination of model type and footprint value, shall be multiplied by the total production of that model type/footprint combination for the appropriate model year. 
(C) The resulting products shall be summed, and that sum shall be divided by the total production of light trucks in that model year. The result shall be rounded to the nearest whole gram per mile. This result shall be the applicable fleet average CO2 standard for the manufacturer`s light truck fleet. 

Note: - Model type is defined in 40 CFR 600.002-08 as ... a unique combination of car line, basic engine, and transmission class. The fleet average is calculated on the basis of model type emissions 

Calculation of FTP-based and HFET-based fuel economy and carbon-related exhaust emission values for a model type. §600.208-12: 

(2) In order to highlight the fuel efficiency and carbon-related exhaust emission values of certain designs otherwise included within a model type, a manufacturer may wish to subdivide a model type into one or more additional model types. This is accomplished by separating sub-configurations from an existing base level and placing them into a new base level. The new base level is identical to the existing base level except that it shall be considered, for the purposes of this paragraph, as containing a new basic engine.....
