Second Notice of Public Availability of Supporting Documents and Information
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE CALIFORNIA ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE PROGRAM REGULATIONS
Public Hearing Date: January 25, 2001
Public Availability Date for Additional Material in Record: November 15, 2001
Deadline for Public Comment: on Additional Material: November 30, 2001
This notice announces a second supplemental period in which the public may comment on additional modifications
being proposed for amendments to the regulations establishing the California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program.
No action by any member of the public is necessary unless the person wishes to comment on the additional modifications.
At a January 25, 2001 public hearing, the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) considered adoption of amendments
to section 1962, title 13, California Code of Regulations (CCR), and related regulations. The amendments, proposed
by staff, would make major changes to the requirements imposed on manufacturers by the California Zero Emission
Vehicle (ZEV) program. At the conclusion of the January hearing, the Board adopted Resolution 01-01, in which it
approved the originally proposed amendments with a number of modifications. The Resolution directed the Executive
Officer to incorporate the approved modifications into the proposed regulatory text, with such other conforming
modifications as may be appropriate, and to make the modified text available for a supplemental 15-day comment
period. On October 31, 2001, the proposed modifications were made available with a supplemental comment deadline
of November 15, 2001.
The Notice announcing the supplemental 15-day comment period also stated that, in accordance with Government Code
section 11347.1, the staff was adding to the rulemaking record the additional documents identified in Attachment
III thereto. It indicated that comment on these additional materials would also be accepted until November 15,
2001. The most significant additional document being added to the rulemaking file is an October 31 Staff Response
to a study entitled "Impacts of Alternative ZEV Sales Mandates on California Motor Vehicle Emissions"
submitted by General Motors Corp. during the comment period just prior to the January hearing. Some of the emissions
analysis in Sections 2.4 and 5 of the October 31 Staff Response was based on the EMFAC2001 ver. 2.07 emissions
inventory model. Since October 31, staff has provided the model in electronic form and relevant source codes to
members of the public upon request. However, staff has determined that it is appropriate to formally add that material
to the rulemaking file, and to provide a supplemental period for comment on it.
Accordingly, this Notice announces that the electronic files listed below are being added to the rulemaking file
for the 2001 amendments to the ZEV regulation. The materials have been posted on the ARB's Internet site for the
regulatory documents in this rulemaking - /regact/zev2001/zev2001.htm. The files may also
be inspected during normal business hours at the Air Resources Board offices at 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte CA
91731; contact Mark Carlock (626) 575-6608.
