Memorandum

Date: 		October 24, 2012

	

Subject: 	Technical Support Document for Approval of the Massachusetts
Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program and for Approval of the
New Hampshire Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program

	

To: 		Anne Arnold, Manager

		Air Quality Planning Unit, Office of Ecosystem Protection

From: 		Ariel Garcia, Environmental Engineer

		Air Quality Planning Unit, Office of Ecosystem Protection

This Technical Support Document (TSD) was prepared to support a direct
final rulemaking action to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revisions submitted on June 1, 2009 and November 30, 2009 by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and on November 17, 2011 by the State of
New Hampshire.  These SIP revisions include regulations to update the
enhanced motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  The Massachusetts I/M program was
previously approved into the SIP on November 15, 2000 (65 FR 68898) and
the New Hampshire I/M program was previously approved into the SIP on
January 10, 2001 (66 FR 1868).  Both state’s programs have since been
revised several times.  Most notably the Massachusetts and New Hampshire
programs have evolved to consist entirely of on-board diagnostic (ODB2)
testing of 1996 and newer vehicles; and neither program utilizes
dynamometers to physically test tail-pipe exhaust emissions.  This TSD
supports approval of the revised programs because the standards and
requirements will strengthen the Massachusetts and New Hampshire SIPs,
and are consistent with EPA I/M requirements at 40 CFR Part 51.

Background

Massachusetts’ I/M program has been in place, in some fashion, since
1983 and consisted of centralized testing facilities.  In 1999,
Massachusetts adopted 310 CMR 60.02, and began testing tailpipe
emissions, on model year 1984 and newer vehicles, by utilizing
dynamometers via a decentralized, mostly, test and repair network, with
some test-only facilities.  In 2004, Massachusetts implemented OBD2
testing of model year 1996 and newer vehicles.  In 2008, Massachusetts
went to an “OBD2-testing only” I/M program, and ceased conducting
tailpipe emissions tests with a dynamometer.  Massachusetts has
implemented a number of changes to its I/M program to ensure the current
program is as effective as the previously implemented program.  The June
1, 2009 SIP revision submitted by Massachusetts demonstrates that the
new “OBD2-testing only” I/M program is more effective than the
pre-existing I/M program.  Another major change in 2008, was
Massachusetts’ shift to emissions testing on an annual basis, where
previously emissions testing had been conducted every two years.  The
Massachusetts I/M program operates statewide and includes OBD2 testing
on the following light-duty (less than or equal to 8,500 pounds  Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)) and heavy-duty (a GVWR of 8,501 pounds or
more) vehicles if they are less than 15 years old:

		

Non-diesel light duty vehicles starting with model year 1996,

Diesel light duty vehicles starting with model year 1997,

Non-diesel heavy-duty vehicles less than or equal to 14,000 pounds GVWR
starting with model year 2008,

Diesel heavy-duty vehicles less than or equal to 14,000 pounds GVWR
starting with model year 2007, and

All heavy-duty vehicles greater than 14,000 pounds GVWR phased in as
OBD2 systems are required to be installed starting with model year 2010.

On January 10, 2001, EPA approved a SIP revision submitted by New
Hampshire for its I/M program, which consisted of: state regulations
incorporating an “anti-tampering” program to the existing Safety
Testing Program, state regulations incorporating a smoke opacity testing
program on heavy-duty trucks, and a commitment for statewide
implementation of OBD2 testing on vehicles required to be equipped with
OBD2 systems.  The anti-tampering program, which began in 1999,
consisted of a visual check for proper connection of emissions control
components on 1980 and newer vehicles.   In late 2006, New Hampshire
began a paper-based OBD2 testing program on vehicles of model year 2002
and newer.  In late 2007, OBD2 testing was expanded to all model year
1996 and newer vehicles.  In 2008, New Hampshire amended its regulation
to create an electronic OBD2 testing I/M program which covers light-duty
vehicles that are model year 1996 and newer, and light-duty diesel
vehicles that are model year 1997 and newer.  New Hampshire continues to
operate an anti-tampering program on vehicles up to 20 years old that
are not subject to an OBD2 inspection.

The Massachusetts and New Hampshire SIP submittals include each
state’s legal authority to perform I/M testing, the state regulations
to implement the programs, MOBILE6 modeling runs, narratives describing
the programs in detail and appendices which include a variety of
information including the contracts to implement the program, details
about the composition of the tested fleet, lists of inspection stations,
among other items.

The attached checklist goes through the required elements of EPA’s I/M
regulation by section in 40 CFR Part 51, and indicates if the States
have met those requirements.  If a response to any of the checklist
items varies for one of the states, it will be noted.

Recommended Action:  I recommend that we approve the SIP revisions
submitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 1, 2009 and
November 30, 2009, as well as the SIP revision submitted by the State of
New Hampshire on November 17, 2011.  These SIP revisions update: (1) the
Massachusetts motor vehicle I/M program which is codified in the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Regulations at 310
CMR 60.02 and the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicle Regulations at
540 CMR 4.00; and (2) the New Hampshire motor vehicle I/M program which
is codified in the New Hampshire Department of Safety Regulations at
Saf-C 3200 and Saf-C 5800.  These motor vehicle I/M programs are
intended to eliminate excess emissions from motor vehicles in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.     SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 I recommend
that EPA approve these programs because they will help reduce emissions
of volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide, and
will strengthen the Massachusetts and New Hampshire SIPs.  As shown in
the Attachment, the revised programs are consistent with EPA’s I/M
rule.  Also, Massachusetts and New Hampshire have demonstrated via
MOBILE6 runs that the revised programs meet the federal enhanced
performance standard and achieve greater emission reductions than the
previously approved I/M programs.

attach a description of your analysis and indicate "okay" below.  See
section 2 of each state’s SIP narrative.

		Massachusetts submitted modeling runs for calendar years 2009. 2010,
2011, 2012, and 2018.  Massachusetts utilized the MOBILE6.2 model to
generate emission factors (see Appendix 4 of the Massachusetts SIP
submittal’s narrative).

		New Hampshire submitted modeling runs for calendar years 2007, 2009,
and 2015.  New Hampshire utilized the MOBILE6.2 model to generate
emission factors (see Attachment VII to the New Hampshire SIP submittal
package).

		Both Massachusetts and New Hampshire meet the required performance
standard evaluations for all pollutants and years modeled except for the
first modeled year (2009 for Massachusetts and 2007 for New Hampshire);
Massachusetts’ modeling of the new program in 2009 shows a slight
increase in VOC and CO emissions.  New Hampshire’s modeling of the new
program in 2007 shows a slight increase in CO emissions.  Both cases can
be attributed to the limitations of the MOBILE6.2 model when modeling
the new program in each state; specifically, not enough program criteria
inputs are allowed in MOBILE6.2, when modeling the new programs, to
specify that there was an existing program in place prior to the new
program start date.

conducting state safety-related inspections, renewing vehicle
registrations/drivers licenses, collecting fees/taxes, or engaging in
