Attachment 2 15-Day Modifications to the Original Proposal California Environmental Protection Agency AIR RESOURCES BOARD CALIFORNIA EVALUATION PROCEDURE FOR NEW AFTERMARKET DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTERS INTENDED AS MODIFIED PARTS FOR 2007 THROUGH 2009 MODEL YEAR ON-ROAD HEAVY-DUTY DIESEL ENGINES NOTE: This is a new Evaluation Procedure. For clarity the original text is shown in normal type. New deletions and additions to the proposed language are shown in strikethrough and underline format, respectively. Adopted: [INSERT DATE] Note: This document is incorporated by reference in section 2222(k), title 13, California Code of Regulations. It contains the criteria the Air Resources Board (ARB) will use to evaluate whether new aftermarket diesel particulate filters intended as modified parts for 2007-2009 model year on-road heavy-duty diesel engines qualify for exemptions from California Vehicle Code section 27156. An ARB exemption is required before any new aftermarket diesel particulate filter can be installed, sold, offered for sale, or advertised on a 2007-2009 model year on-road heavy-duty diesel engine operating in California.

This Procedure is not applicable to DPFs approved by the Verification Procedure, Warranty, and In-Use Compliance Requirements for In-Use Strategies to Control Emissions from Diesel Engines (Ttitle 13, California Code of Regulations (CCR) Ssections 2700-2711), DPFs that are in all material respects identical to the original equipment DPFs they are replacing, used DPFs, or to new aftermarket DPFs intended to replace original equipment manufacturer (OEM) DPFs that are constructed with metal substrates. (b) DEFINITIONS The definitions in Ttitle 13, CCRalifornia Code of Regulations, Ssection 1900(b),1, are hereby incorporated by reference herein. The following definitions shall govern the provisions of this Procedure: “Advertise” and “Aadvertisement” include, but are not limited to, any notice, announcement, information, publication, catalog, listing for sale, or other statement concerning a product or service communicated to the public for the purpose of promoting the awareness or sale of the product or service. “Alternative Ddiesel Ffuel” means any fuel used in a diesel engine that is not commonly or commercially known, sold, or represented by the supplier as diesel fuel No. 1-D or No. 2-D, pursuant to the specifications in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D975-81, “Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils,” as modified in May 1982,2, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and does not require engine or fuel system modifications for the engine to operate, although minor modifications (e.g., recalibration of the engine fuel control) may enhance performance. Examples of alternative diesel fuels include, but are not limited to, biodiesel and biodiesel blends not meeting the definition of California Air Resources Board (CARB) diesel fuel,; Fischer- Tropsch fuels,; emulsions of water in diesel fuel,; and fuels with a fuel additive. 1 Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Devices, Ttitle 13, CCR, §1900(b), (October 8, 2015). 2 American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), ASTM D975-81, Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils, ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, (May 1982). 1 “Applicant” means the entity that has applied for or has been granted an ARB approved exemption for the aftermarket DPF under this Procedure. “Auxiliary Eemission Ccontrol Ddevice” (AECD) means any element of design which senses temperature, vehicle speed, engine revolutions per minute (RPM), transmission gear, manifold vacuum, or any other parameter for the purpose of activating, modulating, delaying, or deactivating the operation of any part of the emission control system. “Average” means the arithmetic mean. “Backpressure Mmonitor” means a device that includes a sensor for measuring the engine backpressure upstream of a hardware-based aftermarket DPF or component thereof installed in the exhaust system and an indicator to notify the operator when the backpressure exceeds specified high and, in some cases, low backpressure limits, as defined by the engine manufacturer or the aftermarket DPF manufacturer. “Cold Sstart” means an “engine transient cycle emissions test” following either a “natural” cool-down period or a “forced” cool-down periods described in title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Ssections 86.1334-843 and 86.1335-90,4 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Part 86, as they existed on January 18, 2001 and September 5, 1997, respectively, which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. “Common ownership fleet” means on-road vehicles owned or managed day to day by the same person, corporation, partnership, or association. Vehicles managed by the same directors, officers, or managers, or by corporations controlled by the same majority stockholders are considered to be under common ownership or control even if their title is held by different business entities. “Days” when computing any period of time, means normal working days on which ARB is open for business unless otherwise noted. “Denied Wwarranty Cclaim” means a request from an end user to the installer or manufacturer for an inspection, repair, replacement, adjustment, or modification of a specific part or component of a new aftermarket DPF, or a claim that a vehicle or 3 Emission Regulations for New Otto-Cycle and Diesel Heavy-Duty Engines; Gaseous and Particulate Exhaust Test Procedures, title 40, CFR, Title 40, Ppart 86, Ssubpart N, §86.1334-84, (January 18, 2001). 4 Emission Regulations for New Otto-Cycle and Diesel Heavy-Duty Engines; Gaseous and Particulate Exhaust Test Procedures, title 40, CFR, Title 40, Ppart 86, Ssubpart N, §86.1335-90, (September 5, 1997). 2 engine, due to a problem originating from a new aftermarket DPF, needs inspection, repair, adjustment, or modification within the warranty period which is determined not to be a warrantable condition. “Diesel Eengine” means an internal combustion engine with operating characteristics significantly similar to the theoretical diesel combustion cycle. The primary means of controlling power output in a diesel cycle engine is by limiting the amount of fuel that is injected into the combustion chambers of the engine. A diesel cycle engine may be petroleum-fueled (i.e., diesel-fueled) or alternative-fueled. “Emission control group” means a set of diesel engines and applications determined by parameters that affect the performance of a particular new aftermarket DPF, including, but not limited to, certification levels of engine emissions, engine displacement, aspiration, horsepower rating, duty cycle, exhaust temperature profile, and fuel composition. The emission control groups are listed in the APPENDIX 1 of this Procedure. “End user” means any individual or entity that has purchased a new aftermarket DPF for purposes other than resale or that owns or operates a vehicle powered by a 2007-2009 model year on-road heavy-duty engine equipped with a new aftermarket
