1140 Delaware’s National Low Emission Vehicle (NLEV) Regulation
1. Title of the Regulation:
Regulation 1140 – Delaware Low Emission Vehicle Program
2. Brief Synopsis of the Subject, Substance and Issues:
The provisions of this regulation establish in Delaware a LEV program, which incorporates the requirements of the California LEV program.
The LEV program shall apply to all model year 2013 and subsequent motor vehicles that are passenger cars and light-duty trucks subject to the California LEV program and delivered for sale in Delaware on or after January 1, 2013.
3. Possible Terms of the Agency Action:
None.
4. Statutory Basis or Legal Authority to Act:
7 Delaware Code, Chapter 60 and the Federal Clean Air Act, section 177 (42 U.S.C. § 7507), which allows states to establish more stringent motor vehicle standards than the Federal program by implementing the California program.
5. Other Regulations That May Be Affected by the Proposal:
None.
6. Notice of Public Comment:
Statements and testimony may be presented either orally or in writing at a public hearing to be held on Friday, October 22, 2010 beginning at 6:00 p.m. in DNREC’s R & R Building auditorium, Dover, DE. Interested parties may submit comments in writing to:

Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis
Regulatory Action
The Department is proposing to implement Regulation 1140 that would affect vehicle manufacturers, dealers, and any other person who transfers vehicles within DE. The proposed regulation would replace the Federal Tier 2 program in Delaware beginning with MY 2013, and as a result, only California certified vehicles can be legally sold in Delaware after January 1st of 2013. Considerable benefits to human health and the environment will be realized under this program in the long term. A significant portion of particulate emissions, ozone-forming emissions, and airborne cancer risks come from vehicle emissions. The primary goal of this proposal is to reduce the emissions of ozone precursors, particulates, toxic air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
Conclusions
After thorough consideration of the proposed implementation of Regulation 1140 under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 29 Del.C. Ch. 104, (Act), the Department concludes the following:
Background
Considerations
1. The nature of the reports and cost of their preparation. Currently, vehicle manufactures either report to EPA or CARB and the corresponding state if a LEV program is implemented.
Reporting requirements for manufactures under the federal program:
Proposed Regulation 1140 reporting requirements for manufacturers:
2. The nature and cost of required measures or investment. As both the federal program and California programs have evolved over the past two decades, the programs have become strikingly similar. Emission limits for both (including GHGs) have tightened to current levels that essentially mirror each other. However, the federal program contains three less stringent vehicle categories that are not acceptable under the LEV program.
Required measures
Vehicle manufacturers already produce “California certified” vehicles for our region. When extensive research was conducted with local dealers, the highest percentage of non-CARB vehicles available on a lot was less than ten percentage. The majority of dealers had zero, one, or two vehicles (larger trucks) that did not have a CARB certification
Required investment
Since vehicle manufactures already produce LEV cars on a regional basis, no additional investment will be necessary if DE implements Regulation 1140. With over 20 states and Washington D.C. already participating in the LEV program, vehicle manufacturers are well prepared for DE to implement a LEV program.
3. The nature and cost of legal, consulting and accounting services. There are no requirements in proposed Regulation 1140 that would necessitate a need for legal, consulting or accounting services. Therefore, there are no added costs for these services.
4. The ability of the entity to absorb or recover the added costs without suffering economic harm and without adversely affecting competition in the marketplace.
5. The added cost to the Department if exemptions or lesser requirements were promulgated.
6. The impact on the public interest of exempting or setting lesser requirements of compliance.
1140 Delaware’s National Low Emission Vehicle (NLEV) Regulation
09/11/1999
The environmental benefits of this regulation will be realized in all counties in the State of Delaware.
09/11/1999
The following terms, when used in this regulation, shall have the following meanings:
“NLEV Program” or “National Low Emission Vehicle Program” means a federally enforceable, voluntary nationwide clean car program designed to reduce smog and other pollution from new motor vehicles and that would achieve emission reductions from new motor vehicles in the Ozone Transport Region equivalent to or greater than would be achieved by the adoption of the CAL-LEV (California-Low Emission Vehicle) Program by all the OTC states.
09/11/1999
3.1 For the duration of Delaware’s participation in NLEV, manufacturers may comply with NLEV or equally stringent mandatory federal standards in lieu of compliance with any program, including the provisions of this subchapter and including any mandates for sales of ZEVs (zero emission vehicles), adopted by the State pursuant to the authority provided in Section 177 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), 42 U.S.C. Section 7401 et seq., applicable to passenger cars, light-duty trucks up through 6,000 pounds GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating), or medium-duty vehicles from 6,001 to 14,000 pounds GVWR if designed to operate on gasoline, as these categories of motor vehicles are defined in the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Division 3, Chapter 1, Article 1, Section 1900, incorporated herein by reference.
3.2 Delaware’s participation in NLEV extends until the commencement of model year 2006, except as provided in 40 C.F.R. Section 86.1707. If, no later than December 15, 2000, the EPA does not adopt standards at least as stringent as the NLEV standards provided in 40 C.F.R. Part 86, subpart R, that apply to new motor vehicles in model year 2004, 2005 or 2006, the State’s participation in NLEV extends only until the commencement of model year 2004, except as provided in 40 C.F.R. Section 86.1707.
3.3 If a covered manufacturer, as defined at 40 C.F.R. 86.1702, opts out of the NLEV program pursuant to the EPA NLEV regulations at 40 C.F.R. Section 86.1707, the transition from NLEV requirements to any state Clean Air Act Section 177 Program applicable to passenger cars, light-duty trucks up through 6000 pounds GVWR, or medium-duty vehicles from 6001 to 14,000 pounds GVWR if designed to operate on gasoline, as these categories of motor vehicles are defined in the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Division 3, Chapter 1, Article 1, Section 1900, incorporated herein by reference will proceed in accordance with the EPA NLEV regulations at 40 C.F.R. Section 86.1707.
