  1. Adoption of California Motor Vehicle Emission Standards Including Greenhouse Gases (GHG) March 18, 2008 Department of Environmental Protection Division of Air Resource Management

  2. Governor’s Executive Order 07-127 "[Adopt] the California motor vehicle emission standards in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, effective January 1, 2005, upon approval by [the EPA of California's] pending waiver, which includes emission standards for greenhouse gases [GHG]."

  3. Adopting the California Rules • Why? • Greater reductions of CO2 • Sooner than Florida would otherwise • Purpose of workshop • Presentation of concepts • Not rule language or structure • Opportunity for public comment • Provide recommendations to DEP

  4. Presentation Outline • CO2 emissions from Florida vehicles • Adoption process • Clean Air Act, waivers, and "identicality" • California rules "package" • Implementation in Florida • Minor changes and options to CA rules • Conceptual proposals

  5. Florida CO2 Emissions

  6. CO2 Emissions from Florida Vehicles Transportation accounts for over 40 percent of the CO2 emissions in Florida. Automobiles and light-duty trucks account for nearly 2/3 of the transportation CO2 emissions.

  7. Estimated GHG Reductionsfrom Florida Motor Vehicles

  8. GHG Emissions from FL Vehicles • Adopting the California GHG motor vehicle emission standards... • ...is part of an integrated GHG strategy • ...addresses a significant portion of GHG • ...is consistent with achieving GHG goals • ...involves a lag time of two (model) years • ...achieves greater reductions sooner

  9. Presentation Outline • CO2 emissions from Florida vehicles • Adoption process • Clean Air Act, waivers, and "identicality" • California rules "package" • Implementation in Florida • Minor changes and options to CA rules • Conceptual proposals

  10. Adoption Process • Clean Air Act § 209(b) • California can... • ...create new vehicle emission standards • ...through an EPA waiver process • California has... • ...developed GHG emission standards • ...requested a waiver from EPA • ...challenged EPA's denial

  11. Adoption Process • California's petition for review • U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit • Petition to intervene • State of Iowa • Florida Department of Environmental Protection This DEP rulemaking assumes eventual approval of the GHG waiver.

  12. Adoption Process • Clean Air Act § 177 • Florida can adopt California's rules • Must adopt identical standards • Cannot create a "3rd vehicle" • Proposing to adopt now at 62-285.400 • Commencement tied to waiver approval • Two model years after waiver

  13. California "Package" • Primary elements • Low emission vehicle standards (LEV) • Greenhouse gas standards (GHG) • Zero emission vehicles (ZEV) • Other provisions • Warranties • Recalls

  14. Tailpipe standards for new vehicles California-issued certification NMOG CO NOx Formaldehyde Particulates Some exemptions Fleet average emissions Based on vehicles delivered for sale NMOG Greenhouse gases Flexible cap & trade GHG credits, such as Low-leak A/C Flex fuel vehicles Hybrids Emission Standards (LEV & GHG)

  15. Percent Sales Requirements (ZEV) • Based on vehicles delivered for sale • Percentage must be ZEV • Cap & trade approach • Credits for partial ZEV • Hybrids, clean conventional, others • Pending California rulemaking • Simplify requirements • Add flexibility • Better match technical feasibility • "New Path" starting in 2012

  16. Warranties and Recalls • Integral part of California LEV program • Emission control system components • Certification based on vehicle durability • 50,000 mile vs. 120,000 mile basis • Standards vary depending on basis • Impacts fleet-wide average credits

  17. Presentation Outline • CO2 emissions from Florida vehicles • Adoption process • Clean Air Act, waivers, and "identicality" • California rules "package" • Implementation in Florida • Minor changes and options to CA rules • Conceptual proposals

  18. Incorporate by Reference • Sections of California code, Title 13 • Proposing... • "California" means "Florida" for compliance • Fleet-wide averages • Percent sales requirements • Technical aspects to remain with CARB • Certification process itself, emissions testing • Approval of alternatives, waivers • Assembly-line inspections, other surveillance • Initiating recalls

  19. Definitions not in the incorporated rules Model year Greenhouse gas Gross vehicle weight Etc. Definitions regarding Florida implementation  Florida model year Manufacturer Dealer Motor vehicle Custom vehicle Street rod Tweaks  (New Definitions)

  20. New Vehicles & "Florida Model Year" • Rules apply only to new vehicles • Motor vehicle  • Florida model year or subsequent  • Two model years after GHG waiver approval • Passenger car, light-duty truck, or medium-duty vehicle • New • Never transferred to an "ultimate purchaser" • Less than 7500 miles

  21. Proposed Records and Reports  • Manufacturers • Annual report • Fleet average remediation report • Copies of certification (per engine family) • Dealers • Only records similar to those already kept • No reporting

  22. Warranties and Recalls  • Same as California requirements • Modifications to required statements • Adapt forms to Florida vehicle owners • Telephone contact for Florida consumers • Recall campaigns in CA apply in FL • Unless manufacturer demonstrates recall is not applicable to Florida vehicles

  23. Enforcement Mechanisms  • Enforce via records and reports • Manufacturer and dealer • Annual reports, copies of certification, etc. • No registration enforcement • Compliance with fleetwide averages • Based on "delivered for sale" in Florida • Soliciting comments on how to treat... • ...rental cars • ...sales in other states • ...sales to consumers in other states

  24. DEP is Soliciting Comments on... • ...exemptions for certain new vehicles (categorical and conditional) • ...delivered for sale and use in Florida • ...appropriate phase-in periods for fleetwide averages and sales requirements • ...enforcement mechanisms, especially rental car fleets and cross-border sales
