Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The executive officer shall determine the total projected
				  maximum volume of each designated clean fuel for each year, at least fourteen
				  months before the start of the year, in accordance with this section.
(a)
Identification of designated
				clean fuels
. The executive officer shall determine what designated
				clean fuels are expected to be used as the certification fuel in low- emission
				vehicles in the year. This determination shall be based on registration records
				of the Department of Motor Vehicles and projected production estimates
				submitted by motor vehicle manufacturers to the executive officer pursuant to
				the "California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 1988 Through
				2000 Model Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks and Medium-Duty Vehicles" as
				incorporated by reference in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, section
				1960.1, and the "California
				Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2001 and Subsequent Model
				Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks and Medium-Duty Vehicles" as incorporated by
				reference in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, section
				1961.
(b)
Estimation of number of
				designated clean fuel vehicles
.
(1)
				For each designated clean fuel identified pursuant to section
				2303(a), the
				executive officer shall make an estimate of the number of low-emission vehicles
				certified on the fuel for each calendar year.
The estimate shall be the sum of: [i] the number of low-
				  emission vehicles certified on the fuel that vehicle manufacturers have
				  projected to be produced in the corresponding model year and the prior model
				  year for sale in California; [ii] one-sixth of the number of low-emission
				  vehicles certified on the fuel that vehicle manufacturers project to produce
				  for the model year that is two years prior to the year for which the
				  calculations are being made; and [iii] the number of low-emission vehicles
				  certified on the fuel that are registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles
				  through July 30 of the year two years prior to the year for which the estimates
				  are being made.
(2) The
				vehicle manufacturers' projections used for the estimates made under this
				section 2303(b) shall be
				the reports of projected production data submitted by motor vehicle
				manufacturers to the executive officer pursuant to the "California Exhaust
				Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 1988 Through 2000 Model Passenger
				Cars, Light-Duty Trucks and Medium-Duty Vehicles" as incorporated by reference
				in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, section
				1960.1, or "California Exhaust
				Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2001 and Subsequent Model Passenger
				Cars, Light-Duty Trucks and Medium-Duty Vehicles" as incorporated by reference
				in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, section
