Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The Executive Officer may make a
				  determination to approve components (fuel tanks, fuel lines, and carbon
				  canisters) for use on evaporative emission control systems that have been shown
				  to meet the Design Standards in Table 1 of section
				  2754,
				  section
				  2755,
				  or section
				  2757
				  of this Article.
(b) A component
				  manufacturer must apply in writing to the Executive Officer for a component
				  claimed under subsection (a). The application shall include the supporting
				  documentation that quantifies the emissions or performance from at least five
				  production samples of the component intended for installation on small off-road
				  engines, including the test methods used to generate the data. If the test
				  methods are not as prescribed in this article the test methods shall include
				  criteria for reproducibility, accuracy, and sampling and laboratory procedures.
				  All information, including proprietary data submitted by a manufacturer
				  pursuant to this section, shall be handled in accordance with the procedures
				  specified in title 17, California Code of Regulations, sections
				  91000-91022.
(c) Within 30 days of
				  receipt of the application, the Executive Officer shall determine whether an
				  application is complete.
(d) Within
				  90 days after an application has been deemed complete, the Executive Officer
				  will approve/disapprove the component. If approved, an Executive Order will be
				  issued for the component for a period of four years. The applicant and the
				  Executive Officer may mutually agree to a longer time for reaching a decision.
				  An applicant may submit additional supporting documentation before a decision
				  has been reached. The Executive Officer will notify the applicant of the
				  decision in writing and specify such terms and conditions that are necessary to
				  ensure that the component will meet the design standards in subsection
				  (a).
(e) If the Evaporative
				  Emission Standards in section
				  2754,
				  2755,
				  or
				  2757
				  or test procedures are amended for a product category, all "approvals" granted
				  for components in the product category, except as provided in subsection (f),
				  have no force and effect as of the effective date of the amended standards or
				  the date testing must be conducted according to the amended test procedures, as
				  specified in CP-901 or CP-902.
(f)
				  If the Executive Officer determines that a component for which an "approval"
				  has been granted no longer meets the design standards specified in subsection
				  (a), the Executive Officer may deny, suspend or revoke the Executive Order
				  pursuant to section
				  2770
				  of this Article.
(g) Certification
				  of a fuel line or fuel tank may be renewed prior to the end of the four-year
				  certification period if no changes to the component have been made that could
				  affect its evaporative emissions. A Holder must submit a declaration signed by
				  an authorized representative stating that no changes have been made that could
				  affect the component's evaporative emissions as part of a request for
				  certification renewal. The signed declaration shall also state that the
				  certification test data originally submitted to CARB still represent the model
				  of the component with the highest permeation rate relative to the permeation
				  emission standard.
(h)
				  Certification of a carbon canister may be renewed prior to the end of the
				  four-year certification period if no changes to the carbon canister have been
				  made that could affect its butane working capacity. A Holder must submit a
				  declaration signed by an authorized representative stating that no changes have
				  been made that could affect the butane working capacity of the carbon canister
				  as part of a request for certification renewal. The signed declaration shall
				  also state that the certification test data originally submitted to CARB still
				  represent the butane working capacity of the carbon canister.
