Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 13, § 2005 - Exhaust Emissions and Test Procedures -Control of Oxides of Nitrogen Emitted from 1966-1970 Light-Duty Vehicles

The State Board finds compliance with the oxides of nitrogen control device standards set forth below to be necessary and technologically feasible for 1966 through 1970 model-year gasoline-powered motor vehicles under 6,001 pounds gross vehicle weight. In accordance with this finding, the device standards for oxides of nitrogen are:

Class (a) Vehicles (50 to 140 C.I.D.) -20 percent oxides of nitrogen reduction.

Classes (b) through (f) Vehicles (greater than 140 C.I.D.) -30 percent oxides of nitrogen reduction.

However, pursuant to Section 43614 of the Health and Safety Code, "after one or more devices are initially certified pursuant to Section43610, no device shall be accredited under that section which is less effective than the one or ones initially certified." As a result of this provision and certification of devices, as of July 18, 1973, the standard for all classes is 42%.

The test procedures for determining compliance with these standards are set forth in "California Oxides of Nitrogen Control Device Test Procedures for Used 1966 Through 1970 Model-Year Motor Vehicles Under 6,001 Pounds Gross Vehicle Weight," adopted by the State Board on November 17, 1971, as last amended July 18, 1973.
