Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—45—5, the Air
Resources Board finds:

     1.    The Fuel Cat is an add—on device that is attached to the fuel line
           in a motor vehicle.                                    c

     2.    The fuel line is part of the required motor vehicle pollution
           control system.                   *

     3.    The Fuel Cat is intended for use with a required pollution control
            system.

     4.     The Fuel Cat by being installed on the fuel line alters the
            original design of a motor vehicle pollution control system.

            motor vehicle pollution control device.

     7.     The ARB, in the exercise of technical judgement,       is aware of no
            basis on which the Fuel Cat will provide either a decrease in
            emission or an increase in fuel economy.

     8.     It has not been determined what effect use of the Fuel Cat may
            have on any warranty, either expressed or implied, by the
            manufacturer of a motor vehicle on which the device is installed.

     9.     The Fuel Cat is not a certified motor vehicle pollution control
            device pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 43644.

     10.    The ARB by granting an exemption to Fuel~—Cat, Inc. for the Fuel

            device is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section
            27156.
