Electronic Access You may access this Federal Register document electronically from the Government Printing Office under the ‘‘Federal Register’’ listings at FDSys. (https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/ collection.action?collectionCode=FR). II. Background The EPA’s light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) program for model years (MYs) 2012–2016 provided a conditional exemption for small volume manufacturers (SVMs) with annual U.S. sales of less than 5,000 vehicles due to unique feasibility issues faced by these SVMs.1 The exemption was conditioned on the manufacturer making a good faith effort to obtain credits from larger volume manufacturers. For the MY 2017–2025 light-duty vehicle GHG program, EPA proposed, took public comment on, and in 2012 finalized specific regulations allowing SVMs to petition EPA for alternative standards, again recognizing that the primary program standards may not be feasible for SVMs and could drive these manufacturers from the U.S. market.2 EPA acknowledged in the 2012 final rule that SVMs may face a greater challenge in meeting CO2 standards compared to large manufacturers because they only produce a few vehicle models, mostly focused on high performance sports cars and luxury vehicles. SVMs have limited product lines across which to average emissions, and the few vehicles they produce often have very high CO2 levels on a per vehicle basis. EPA also noted that the total U.S. annual vehicle sales of SVMs are much less than 1 percent of total sales of all manufacturers and contribute minimally to total vehicular GHG emissions, and foregone GHG reductions from SVMs likewise are a small percentage of total industry-wide reductions. EPA received only supportive public comments on PO 00000 allowing alternative standards for SVMs, including from SVMs, their trade associations, and dealers.3 EPA adopted a regulatory pathway for SVMs to apply for alternative GHG emissions standards for MYs 2017 and later, based on information provided by each SVM on factors such as technical feasibility, cost, and lead time. 4 The regulations established in the 2012 rule outline eligibility criteria and a framework for establishing SVM alternative standards. Manufacturer average annual U.S. sales must remain below 5,000 vehicles to be eligible for SVM alternative standards.5 The regulations specify the requirements for supporting technical data and information that a manufacturer must submit to EPA as part of its application.6 The regulations specify that an SVM applying for an alternative standard provide the following technical information: • The CO2 reduction technologies employed by the manufacturer on each vehicle model, or projected to be employed, including information regarding the cost and CO2-reducing effectiveness. Include technologies that improve air conditioning efficiency and reduce air conditioning system leakage, and any ‘‘off-cycle’’ technologies that potentially provide benefits outside the operation represented by the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) and the Highway Fuel Economy Test (HFET). • An evaluation of comparable models from other manufacturers, including CO2 results and air conditioning credits generated by the models. • A discussion of the CO2-reducing technologies employed on vehicles offered outside of the U.S. market but not available in the U.S., including a discussion as to why those vehicles and/or technologies are not being used to achieve CO2 reductions for vehicles in the U.S. market. • An evaluation, at a minimum, of the technologies projected by the EPA in a final rulemaking as those technologies likely to be used to meet greenhouse gas emission standards and the extent to which those technologies are employed or projected to be employed by the manufacturer. • The most stringent CO2 level estimated to be feasible for each model, in each model year, and the technological basis for this estimate. • For each model year, a projection of the lowest feasible sales-weighted fleet 3 Docket No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2010–0799 CFR 86.1818–12(g). 5 40 CFR 86.1818–12(g)(1). 6 40 CFR 86.1818–12(g)(4). 4 40 1 75 2 77 FR 25419–25421, May 7, 2010.
