Or. Admin. Code § 340-257-0070 - Fleet Average Non-Methane Organic Gas (NMOG) Exhaust Emission Requirements, Reporting, and Compliance
(1) Fleet average requirement.
(a) Effective model year 2009 through 2014,
except as provided in this subsection, each motor vehicle manufacturer's NMOG
fleet average emissions from passenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty
vehicles delivered for sale in Oregon must not exceed the fleet average NMOG
Exhaust Emission Requirement set forth in CCR, Title 13, section 1961(b). For
the 2014 model year only, a manufacturer may comply with the fleet average NMOG
+ NOx values in subsection (b) of this section in lieu of complying with the
NMOG fleet average emissions in this subsection. A manufacturer must either
comply with the NMOG + NOx fleet average requirements for both its PC/LDT1
fleet and its LDT2/MDPV fleet or comply with the NMOG fleet average
requirements for both its PC/LDT1 fleet and its LDT2/MDPV fleet. A manufacturer
must calculate its fleet average NMOG + NOx values using the applicable full
useful life standards. Compliance will be based on the number of vehicles
subject to this regulation, delivered for sale in Oregon.
(b) Effective model year 2015 through 2025,
each motor vehicle manufacturer's NMOG + NOx fleet average emissions from
passenger cars, light duty trucks and medium duty vehicles delivered for sale
to Oregon must not exceed the Fleet Average NMOG + NOx Exhaust Emission
Requirement set forth in CCR, Title 13, section 1961.2. Compliance will be
based on the number of vehicles subject to this regulation, delivered for sale
in Oregon.
(c) Effective model year
2026 and in subsequent model years, each motor vehicle manufacturer's NMOG +
NOx fleet average emissions from passenger cars, light duty trucks and medium
duty vehicles delivered for sale to Oregon must not exceed the Fleet Average
NMOG + NOx Exhaust Emission Requirement set forth in CCR, Title 13, section
1961.4. Compliance will be based on the number of vehicles subject to this
regulation, delivered for sale in Oregon, unless the motor vehicle manufacturer
chooses for compliance to be based on the cumulative number of vehicles that
are certified to the exhaust standards in CCR, Title 13, section 1961.4(d) or
(e), as applicable, that are produced and delivered for sale in Oregon,
California and any other states or the District of Columbia that have adopted
California's standards set forth in CCR, Title 13, section 1961.4 for that
model year pursuant to section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. §
7507).
(2) Fleet average NMOG and NMOG plus NOx
exhaust emission credits and debits for passenger cars, light-duty trucks and
medium-duty vehicles.
(a) Effective model year
2009 through 2014, except as provided in this subsection each vehicle
manufacturer may accrue NMOG emission credits and debits and use credits in
accordance with the procedures in California Code of Regulations, Title 13,
section 1961(b). For the 2014 model year only, a manufacturer may comply with
the fleet average NMOG + NOx values in subsection (b) of this section in lieu
of complying with the NMOG fleet average emissions in this subsection. A
manufacturer must either comply with the NMOG + NOx fleet average requirements
for both its PC/LDT1 fleet and its LDT2/MDPV fleet or comply with the NMOG
fleet average requirements for both its PC/LDT1 fleet and its LDT2/MDPV fleet.
A manufacturer must calculate its fleet average NMOG + NOx values using the
applicable full useful life standards. . Debits and credits accrued and used
will be based on the number of vehicles subject to this division, produced and
delivered for sale by each manufacturer in Oregon.
(b) Effective model year 2015 through 2025,
each vehicle manufacturer may accrue NMOG + NOx emission credits and debits and
use credits in accordance with the procedures in California Code of
Regulations, Title 13, section 1961.2. Debits and credits accrued and used will
be based on the number of vehicles subject to this division, produced and
delivered for sale by each manufacturer in Oregon.
(c) Effective model year 2026 and in each
subsequent year, each vehicle manufacturer may accrue NMOG + NOx emission
credits and debits and use credits in accordance with the procedures in
California Code of Regulations, Title 13, section 1961.4. Debits and credits
accrued and used will be based on the number of vehicles subject to this
division, produced and delivered for sale by each manufacturer in Oregon,
unless the motor vehicle manufacturer chooses for compliance to be based on the
cumulative number of vehicles that are certified to the exhaust standards in
CCR, Title 13, section 1961.4(d) or (e), as applicable, that are produced and
delivered for sale in Oregon, California and any other states or the District
of Columbia that have adopted California's standards set forth in CCR, Title
13, section 1961.4 for that model year pursuant to section 177 of the federal
Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
§
7507). Violations of failing to
equalize NMOG + NOx debits within three model years will be determined on a per
vehicle basis which is calculated by dividing the total amount of g/mi NMOG +
NOx emission debits for the model year by the g/mi NMOG + NOx fleet average
requirement for the model year in which the debits were first
incurred.
(3) Reporting.
(a) Effective model year 2009 through model
year 2014 except as provided in this subsection, each manufacturer must report
to DEQ by March 1 data that calculates the fleet average NMOG exhaust emissions
for the model year just ended. The report must follow the procedures in CCR,
Title 13, section 1961, and be in the same format used to report such
information to the California Air Resources Board. Manufacturers that elect to
comply with the NMOG + NOx fleet average emission limit for 2014 must report as
provided in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) Effective model year 2015 through model
year 2025, each manufacturer must report to DEQ by March 1 data that calculates
