(Page 1 of 2) State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—280—5 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the vehicle Code AIRTEK, INC. (dba CATCO) "THREE—WAY PLUS OXIDATION CATALYTIC CONVERTERS" WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391, and Title 13, California Code of Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(h), authorize the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converter from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. WHEREAS, AirTek, Inc. (AirTek) of 4410 W. 37" Ave, Hobart, Indiana 46342, has applied to the ARB to amend their previous Executive Orders to reflect changes in the series part number systems. AirTek was exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 to market their aftermarket catalytic converters for the applications shown on Appendix A, except for vehicles equipped with an on—board diagnostic II system. 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—45—9, the ARB finds that the aftermarket catalytic converters comply with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). Emission performance of the catalytic converters was based on durability mileage accumulation on the catalysts for 25,000 miles using vehicles approved by the ARB and AMA driving cycle (Reference Appendix IV, Title 40, part 86, Code of Federal Regulations (June 28, 1977)). Whereas, emissions tests conducted at independent laboratories showed that the conversion efficiencies of the catalytic converters meet the minimum requirements for new aftermarket catalytic converters under California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—OEM Catalytic Converters. IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the catalytic converters are exempt 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 converters as described in the application for exemption. Any changes to the catalytic converters or 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 converters using identifications other than those shown in the exemption application, and in this Executive Order, or marketing of the catalytic converters for application other than the ones shown in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. Exemption of these catalytic converters shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any components of the catalytic converters as individual devices.
