WHEREAS, AirTek, Inc. (AirTek) of 4410 W. 37"" Avenue, Hobart, Indiana 46342, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 to market its new aftermarket Series 712000 three—way catalytic converter (TWC) on 2000 and older DaimlerChrysler mini—vans equipped with on—board diagnostic II (OBD—II) systems as specified in Appendix D—280—13 and incorporated herein. The application coverage excludes vehicles equipped with a warm—up catalyst. The TWC will be used in a single underbody vehicle application. The Series 712000 TWC may also be installed on non—OBD II vehicles (1995 and older) similar in engine and exhaust configuration to those listed in Appendix D—280—13. WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health and Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations Division by Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—02—003, the ARB finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Section 2222(h), Title 13, California Code of Regulations. The emissions performance of said catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by Compliance and Research Services, Inc. using the ARB—modified RAT—A bench—aging cycle for a duration of 100 hours, as specified in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped With On—Board Diagnostic {I (OBD I!) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at the Ecologic Engine Testing Laboratory (Ecologic), Fullerton, California, with Series 712000 TWC installed on a 1999 3.3L Plymouth Grand Voyager mini—van, test group XCRXT0201230, certified to the Light—Duty Truck 2, Low Emission Vehicle emission standards (LDT2, LEV), showed that the catalytic converter met the applicable emission standards. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 712000 TWC did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD II system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below. NMOG CO NOx LDT2 100K LEV standards 0.130 5.5 0.5 Average Series 712000 TWC Test Results 0.030 0.5 0.3
