WHEREAS,
the
Executive
Officer
finds
that:

The
regulatory
amendments
significantly
reduce
human
health,
safety,
or
environmental
risks.

The
cost­
effectiveness
of
the
regulatory
amendments
was
considered,
and
the
amendments
as
adopted
are
cost­
effective.

No
alternative
considered
by
the
ARB
would
be
more
effective
in
carrying
out
the
purpose
for
which
the
regulatory
amendments
are
proposed
or
would
be
as
effective
and
less
burdensome
to
affected
private
persons
than
the
adopted
amendments.

The
benefits
to
human
health,
public
safety,
public
welfare,
or
the
environment
justify
the
costs
of
the
regulatory
amendments.

NOW,
THEREFORE,
IT
IS
ORDERED
that
the
recitals
and
findings
contained
in
Resolution
98­
65
are
incorporated
by
reference
herein.

IT
IS
FURTHER
ORDERED,
in
accordance
with
Resolution
98­
65
and
Health
and
Safety
Code
sections
39515
and
39516,
that
the
amendments
to
Title
13,
California
Code
of
Regulations,
sections
1900,
1958,
and
1965,
and
the
incorporated
"
Emission
Control
and
Smog
Index
Label
Specifications,"
are
hereby
adopted,
as
set
forth
in
Attachment

hereto.

Executed
