We are limiting this determination to the 2007–2009 model years for two reasons. First, we believe that the problem of redesigning the covered vehicles to accommodate DPFs, though a matter of technological necessity, arises largely from the time remaining before 2007, which precludes manufacturers performing an extensive redesign of these space-constrained vehicles to accommodate the DPFs. Given more time, the somewhat larger DPFs needed to achieve 150,000 mile cleaning intervals could be accommodated in vehicle designs without compromising mission objectives. Second, the compliance strategies being chosen by the engine manufacturers generally entail a two step approach to meeting the new NOX standards, such that NOX aftertreatment devices will not be employed until 2010, and engine/vehicle designs will remain stable through the 2007–2009 phase-in period. Although the technology choices for 2010 NOX control have not yet been made, we think it likely that new exhaust system space requirements will be added to those entailed by the use of DPFs in 2007. Given that three additional years of leadtime are available before 2010, and that adjusting the DPF cleaning interval can contribute, at best, only modest relief to these space constraint problems, we expect manufacturers to rely on broader vehicle redesigns rather than on shorter cleaning intervals to resolve any such problems. Should that process identify applications in which shorter DPF cleaning intervals are still technologically necessary for 2010 and later heavy-duty vehicles, we would expect manufacturers to take this up with us in a timely manner.
