Finally, the alternative methodology
must be approved by EPA prior to the
manufacturer using it to generate
credits. As part of the review process
defined by regulation, the alternative
methodology submitted to EPA for
consideration must be made available
for public comment.4 EPA will consider
public comments as part of its final
decision to approve or deny the request
for off-cycle credits.
II. Off-Cycle Credit Applications
Using the alternative methodology
approach discussed above, Volkswagen
is applying for credits for model years
2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 model years
for off-cycle credits using the alternative
demonstration methodology pathway
for high-efficiency alternators.
Automotive alternators convert
mechanical energy from a combustion
engine into electrical energy that can be
used to power a vehicle’s electrical
systems. Alternators inherently place a
load on the engine, which results in
increased fuel consumption and CO2
emissions. High efficiency alternators
use new technologies to reduce the
overall load on the engine yet continue
to meet the electrical demands of the
vehicle systems, resulting in lower fuel
consumption and lower CO2 emissions.
Some comments on EPA’s proposed rule
for GHG standards for the 2016–2025
model years suggested that EPA provide
a credit for high-efficiency alternators
on the pre-defined list in the
regulations. While EPA agreed that
high-efficiency alternators can reduce
electrical load and reduce fuel
consumption, and that these impacts are
not seen on the emission test procedures
because accessories that use electricity
are turned off, EPA noted the difficulty
in defining a one-size-fits-all credit due
to lack of data. Since then, however a
methodology has been developed that
scales credits based on the efficiency of
the alternator; alternators with
efficiency (as measured using an
accepted industry standard procedure)
above a baseline value could get credits.
EPA has previously approved credits for
high-efficiency alternators using this
methodology for Ford Motor Company,
General Motors Corporation, Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles, Hyundai, Kia,
and Toyota Motor Company. Details of
the testing and analysis can be found in
the manufacturer’s applications.
III. EPA Decision Process
EPA has reviewed the applications for
completeness and is now making the
applications available for public review
and comment as required by the

regulations. The off-cycle credit
applications submitted by the
manufacturer (with confidential
business information redacted) have
been placed in the public docket (see
ADDRESSES section above) and on EPA’s
website at https://www.epa.gov/vehicleand-engine-certification/complianceinformation-light-duty-greenhouse-gasghg-standards. EPA is providing a 30day comment period on the applications
for off-cycle credits described in this
notice, as specified by the regulations.
The manufacturers may submit a
written rebuttal of comments for EPA’s
consideration, or may revise an
application in response to comments.
After reviewing any public comments
and any rebuttal of comments submitted
by manufacturers, EPA will make a final
decision regarding the credit requests.
EPA will make its decision available to
the public by placing a decision
document (or multiple decision
documents) in the docket and on EPA’s
website at the same manufacturerspecific pages shown above. While the
broad methodologies used by these
manufacturers could potentially be used
for other vehicles and by other
manufacturers, the vehicle specific data
needed to demonstrate the off-cycle
emissions reductions would likely be
different. In such cases, a new
application would be required,
including an opportunity for public
comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public
in general, and may be of interest to a
wide range of stakeholders including
environmental, human health, farm
worker, and agricultural advocates; the
chemical industry; pesticide users; and
members of the public interested in the
sale, distribution, or use of pesticides.
Since others also may be interested, the
Agency has not attempted to describe all
the specific entities that may be affected
by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult the
Chemical Review Manager for the
pesticide of interest identified in the
Table in Unit IV.
II. Background
Registration review is EPA’s periodic
review of pesticide registrations to
ensure that each pesticide continues to
satisfy the statutory standard for
registration, that is, the pesticide can
perform its intended function without
unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of
the registration review process, the
Agency has completed proposed interim
decisions for all pesticides listed in the
Table in Unit IV. Through this program,
67537
EPA is ensuring that each pesticide’s
registration is based on current
scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health
and the environment.
III. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in the
Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g)
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Procedural Regulations for Registration
Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among
other things, that the registrations of
pesticides are to be reviewed every 15
years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product
may be registered or remain registered
only if it meets the statutory standard
for registration given in FIFRA section
3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used
in accordance with widespread and
commonly recognized practice, the
pesticide product must perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment; that
is, without any unreasonable risk to
man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk from residues that result
from the use of a pesticide in or on food.
IV. What action is the Agency taking?
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice
announces the availability of EPA’s
proposed interim registration review
decision for the pesticide shown in
Table 1 and opens a 60-day public
comment period on the proposed
interim registration review decision.
