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:

After considering the impact on small business, as discussed below, there is no reason to exempt or to lessen the requirements by implementing Regulation 1140 for individuals or small businesses.
That the Department’s proposed implementation of Regulation 1140, when compared to EPA’s national Tier 2 standard,
Will not add to the reporting requirements, compared to the federal notification and reporting requirements;
Will not create a need for any legal, consulting, or accounting services;
Will not create any competitive disadvantages;
Will not drastically alter the operating cost for the Department compared to maintaining the less stringent national rule; and
Will reduce the public’s potential cancer and non-cancer health risks through the reduction of air pollutant emissions.

Background

The purpose of the Act is “to establish as a principle of regulatory policy that regulatory and reporting requirements fit the scale of those being regulated, that fewer, simpler requirements be made of individuals and small businesses and that to achieve these ends agencies be empowered and encouraged to issue regulations which apply differently to individuals and small businesses than to larger businesses.”
In making the consideration for qualifying small business entities, the Department must consider the following:
The nature of the reports and cost of their preparation;
The nature and cost of required measures or investment;
The nature and cost of legal, consulting and accounting services;
The ability of the entity to absorb or recover the added costs without suffering economic harm and without adversely affecting competition in the marketplace;
The added cost to the Department if exemptions or lesser requirements were promulgated; and
The impact on the public interest of exempting or setting lesser requirements of compliance.

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:

Total Deliveries.
Fleet-wide NOx average.
Durability demonstration (if requested).
Emission standards testing including: tailpipe emissions, on-board diagnostic requirements, and evaporative emission standards (if requested).

Proposed Regulation 1140 reporting requirements for manufacturers:

Total Deliveries in DE.
Fleet-wide NMOG average.
Durability demonstration (if requested).
Emission standards testing including: tailpipe emissions, on-board diagnostic requirements, and evaporative emission standards (if requested).

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.

Vehicle manufacturers affected by proposed Regulation 1140 are subject to the requirements of the Cal LEV equivalent already established by surrounding states that comprise the North East Region (New England States, NY, PA, MD, NJ). Vehicles are not individually manufactured specifically for DE.
As the requirements of proposed Regulation 1140 apply equally to all regulated sources, the Department does not anticipate any source to have a competitive advantage over the other sources.

5. The added cost to the Department if exemptions or lesser requirements were promulgated.

Due to the “third wheel” clause stipulated by the CAA, no such exemptions or lesser requirements diverting from Cal LEV requirements can be promulgated.

6. The impact on the public interest of exempting or setting lesser requirements of compliance.

Were the Department to continue with the Federal Tier 2 program requirements rather than proposed Regulation 1140, the public would potentially experience greater exposure to vehicle emissions.
The exposure to higher concentrations of vehicle emissions (VOCs, NOx, and PM) could lead to increased incidences of cancer, primarily manifested in lung tumors.
Long term exposure to higher concentrations of vehicle emission could also lead to other non-carcinogenic health impacts. These health impacts range from decreased lung function and increased respiratory symptoms to serious indicators of respiratory morbidity.
