is
Applied.
A
manufacturer's
volume
of
PCs
and
LDT1s
produced
and
delivered
for
sale
in
California
will
be
averaged
for
the
1997,
1998,
and
1999
model
years
to
determine
the
California
PC
and
LDT1
production
volume
for
the
model
year
2005
ZEV
requirements.
For
subsequent
three­
year
periods
following
model
year
2005,
a
manufacturer's
California
production
volume
of
PCs
and
LDT1s,
and
LDT2s
as
applicable,
will
be
based
on
a
three­

average
of
the
manufacturer's
volume
of

and
LDT1s,
and
LDT2s
as
applicable,
produced
and
delivered
for

in
California

This
production
averaging
is
used
to
determine
ZEV
requirements
only,
and
has
no
effect
on
a

determination.
As
an
alternative
to
the

described
above,
a

of
a
subsequent

elect
to

in
Change
of
Ownership
Situations.
Where
a
manufacturer
experiences
a
change
in
ownership
in
a
particular
model
year,
the
change
will
affect
application
of
the
aggregation
requirements
on
the
manufacturer
starting
with
the
next
model
year.
The
manufacturer's
small
or
intermediate

manufacturer
status
for
the
next
model
year
shall
be
based
on
the
average
California
production
volume
in
the
three
previous
consecutive
model
years
of
those
manufacturers
whose
production
volumes
must
be
aggregated
for
that
next
model
year.
For
example,
where
a
change
of
ownership
during
the
2004
model
year
results
in
a
requirement
that
the
production
volume
of
Manufacturer
A
be
aggregated
with
the
production
volume
of
Manufacturer
B,
Manufacturer
A's
status
for
the
2005
model
year
will
be
based
on
the
production
volumes
of
Manufacturers
A
and
B
in
the
2002­
2004
model
years.
Where
the
production
volume
of
Manufacturer
A
must
be
aggregated
with
the
production
volumes
of
Manufacturers
B
and
C
for
the
2004
model
year,
and
during
that
model
year
a
change
in
ownership
eliminates
the
requirement
that
Manufacturer
B's
production
volume
be
aggregated
with
Manufacturer
A's,
Manufacturer
A's
status
for
the
2005
model
year
will
be
based
on
the
production
volumes
of
Manufacturers
A
and
C
in
the
2002­
2004
model
years.
In
either
case,

Introduction.
This
section
1962(
c)
sets
forth
the
criteria
for
identifying
vehicles
delivered
for
sale
in
California
as
PZEVs.
A
PZEV
is
a
vehicle
that
cannot
be
certified
as
a
ZEV
but
qualifies
for
a
PZEV
allowance
of
at
least
0.2.

(
2)
Baseline
PZEV
Allowance.
In
order
for
a
vehicle
to
be
eligible
to
receive
a
PZEV
allowance,
the
manufacturer
must
demonstrate
compliance
with
all
of
the
following
requirements.
A
qualifying
vehicle
will
receive
a
baseline
PZEV
allowance
of
0.2.

(
A)
SULEV
Standards.
Certify
the
vehicle
to
the
150,000­
mile
SULEV
exhaust
emission
standards
for
PCs
and
LDTs
in
section

existing
SULEV
intermediate
in­
use
compliance
standards
shall
apply
to
all
PZEVs).
Bi­
fuel,
fuel­
flexible
and
dual­
fuel
vehicles
must
certify
to
the
applicable
150,000­
mile
SULEV
exhaust
emission
standards
when
operating
on
both
fuels;

(

Calculation
of
Zero
Emission
VMT
Allowance.
A
vehicle
that
meets
the
requirements
of
section
1962(
c)(
2)
and
has
zero­
emission
vehicle
miles
traveled
("
VMT")
capability
will
generate
an
additional
zero
emission
VMT
PZEV
allowance
calculated
as
follows:

Urban
All­
Electric
Range
Zero­
emission
VMT
Allowance
<

Light­
Duty
Truck
and
Medium­
Duty
Vehicle
Classes,"
incorporated
by
reference
in
section

(
B)
Alternative
Procedures.
As
an
alternative
to
determining
the
zero­
emission
VMT
allowance
in
accordance
with
the
preceding
section
1962(
c)(
3)(
A),
a
manufacturer
may
submit
for
Executive
Officer
approval
an
alternative
procedure
for
determining
the
zero­
emission
VMT
potential
of
the
vehicle
as
a
percent
of
total
VMT,
along
with
an
engineering
evaluation
that
adequately
substantiates
the
zero­
emission
VMT
determination.
For
example,
an
alternative
procedure
may
provide
that
a
vehicle
with
zero­
emissions
of
one
regulated
pollutant
(
e.
g.
NOx)
and
not
another
(
e.
g.
NMOG)
will
qualify
for
a
zero­
emission
VMT
allowance
of
1.5.

(
C)
Additional
Allowances
for
Qualifying
HEVs.
The
Executive
Officer
shall
approve
an
additional
0.1
zero­
emission
VMT
partial
ZEV
allowance
for
an
HEV
with
an
allelectric
range
if
the
manufacturer
demonstrates
to
the
reasonable
satisfaction
of
the
Executive
Officer
that
the
HEV
is
equipped
with
software
and/
or
other
strategies
that
would
promote
maximum
use
of
off­
vehicle
charging,
and
that
the
strategies
employed
are
reasonably
reliable
and
tamper­
proof.

with
very
low
fuel­
cycle
emissions
shall
receive
a
PZEV
allowance
not
to
exceed

emissions
must
be
calculated
based
on
near­
term
production
methods
and
infrastructure
assumptions,
and
the
uncertainty
in
the

placed
as
part
of
a
transportation
system
may
earn
additional
ZEV
credits,
which
may
used
in
the
same
manner
as
other
credits
earned
by
vehicles
of
that
category,
except
as
provided
in
section
(

below.
A
NEV
is
not
eligible
to
earn

the
manufacturer
must
demonstrate
to
the
reasonable
satisfaction
of
the
Executive
Officer
that
the
vehicle
will
be
used
as

wireless
information
systems.
If,
in
addition
to
factors
[

above,
a
project
also
features
linkage
to
transit,
the
project
may
receive
further
additional
credit.
For
ZEVs
only,
not
including
NEVs,
a
project
that
features
linkage
to
transit,
such
as

and
charging
facilities
at
transit
stations,
but
does
not
demonstrate
shared
use
or
the
application
of
intelligent
new
technologies,
may
also
receive
additional
credit
for
linkage
to
transit.
The
maximum
credit
awarded
per
vehicle
shall
be
determined
by
the
Executive
Officer,
based
upon
an
