using the AMA durability driving schedule (Reference Appendix IV,
Title 40, part 86,       Code of Federal Regulations           (June 28,    1977)).

from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation
on the approved application vehicles subject to the following
conditions:

       1.   No changes are permitted to the catalytic converter as
            described in the application for exemption.  Any changes to
            the catalytic converter orf any of its components, and other
            factors addressed in this order must be evaluated and approved
            by the ARB prior to marketing in California.

       2.   Marketing of the catalytic converter using identifications
            other than those shown in the exemption application, and in
            this Executive Order, or marketing of the catalytic converter
            for application other than the ones shown in this Executive
            Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained
            from the ARB.  Exemption of this product shall not be
            construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or
            advertise any components of the catalytic converter as
            individual devices.
