 WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395, and Title 13, California Code of
—Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(h), authorize the California Air Resources
 Board and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the
 prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and 38391.

 WHEREAS, Airtek, Inc. (Airtek) of 4410 W. 37" Avenue, Hobart, Indiana 46342, has

California Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395 and Title 13, California Code of
