(1) Community-Based Clean Mobility Programs
(a) DEQ must determine that a program
			 qualifies as a community-based clean mobility program under this rule before a
			 manufacturer may earn vehicle values under CCR, Title 13, section
			 1962.4(e)(2)(A)1.
(b) A
			 manufacturer may request DEQ to make a determination that a program qualifies
			 as a community-based clean mobility program. When making this request, the
			 manufacturer shall provide:
(A) Attestation
			 that the program meets each element of the definition of community-based clean
			 mobility program;
(B) Contact
			 information for the program, including program name, program implementer name
			 (if different), mailing address including a street address, city, state, and
			 zip code, federal tax identification number (if any), contact person name,
			 contact person phone number, and contact person email address;
(C) A description of the program, including
			 program objectives, total number of vehicles, and the program service location
			 or area;
(D) A written
			 communication from a responsible official (e.g., executive, principal officer)
			 of the entity that administers the program, which shall include the following:
(i) Certification that the vehicles will be
			 put into service exclusively for the purposes of operating a community-based
			 clean mobility program with a minimum of four years of service
			 operation;
(ii) Certification that
			 vehicle titles or lease agreements will be held by an organizational entity,
			 not by individual drivers; and
(iii) Certification that the program meets
			 the definition of community-based clean mobility program.
(c) In response to a request under
			 section (1)(b):
(A) DEQ may determine that a
			 program qualifies as a community-based clean mobility program if the
			 manufacturer has demonstrated that the program meets the requirements described
			 in section (2) and is a community-based clean mobility program; and
(B) DEQ will notify the manufacturer of the
			 determination in writing within 60 days. If the program is determined to
			 qualify as a community-based clean mobility program, DEQ will issue an order
			 designating the community-based clean mobility program.
(d) Renewal. A DEQ order issued under section
			 (3) approving a community-based clean mobility program shall remain valid for
			 four years. A manufacturer may request a renewal of a determination of a
			 community-based clean mobility program by providing the information and
			 materials specified under section (2). DEQ will review and approve or deny a
			 renewal request by the process specified in section (3).
(e) Revocation. DEQ may revoke an order
			 issued under this section (3) if DEQ determines that:
(A) The community-based clean mobility
			 program no longer satisfies the definition of a community-based clean mobility
			 program or the requirements in section (2); or
(B) The community-based clean mobility
			 program has resold or returned, prior to four years of service, one or more
			 vehicles that a manufacturer provided for use of the program for which the
			 manufacturer has earned Environmental Justice Vehicle Values pursuant to CCR,
			 Title 13, subsection 1962.4(e)(2)(A)1, except for resale to another qualifying
			 community-based clean mobility program.
