State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—353—31 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Miller Catalyzer Corporation "Series 60000 OBD II Compliant Three—way Catalytic Converter" WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and Section 2222(h), Title 13, California Code of Regulations (hereafter "CCR"), authorize the California Air Resources Board and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. WHEREAS, Miller Catalyzer Corporation (Miller) of 3295 Depot Road, Hayward, California 94545, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 to market its new aftermarket Series 60000 three—way catalytic converter (TWC) for installation on selected 1996 through 2003 model year Nissan passenger (PC) cars and light—duty trucks 1 (LDT1) equipped with on—board diagnostic II (OBD—II) systems as specified in Appendix D—353—31 and incorporated herein. The Series 60000 TWC will be used for single (one or two units) or dual (two units) exhaust system applications for selected Nissan PC/LDT1. The 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—353—31. 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, Air Resources Board finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). The emissions performance of the catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by Umicore Automotive Catalysts using Air Resources Board—modified RAT—A bench—aging cycle for 75 hours, as specified in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped with On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at the Automotive Testing Development Services, Inc. (ATDS), Ontario, California, using a 1999 3.1L Chevrolet Malibu equipped with a single exhaust system, and certified to the Low Emission Vehicle (LEV, PC) emission standards showed that the vehicle met the applicable emission standards with Series 60000 TWC (one unit) installed. WHEREAS, previous emissions and OBD II compatibility tests conducted by Miller Catalyzer Corporation using a vehicle of a weight classification similar to those listed in Appendix D—353—31 and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards resulted in the issuance of Executive Order D—353—24, it was determined that the installation of Series 31000 TWC on the vehicles listed in Appendix D—353—31 meets the requirements of California regulations.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the above catalytic converter is exempt from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on the approved vehicle applications specified in Appendix D—353—31 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 or any of their components, and other factors addressed in this order must be evaluated and approved by the Air Resources Board prior to marketing in California.

Miller Catalyzer Corporation‘s installation instructions for the new catalytic converter must conform to requirements in Paragraphs | and X of the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped with On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD I1) Systems." Upon installation, the catalytic converter must carry a manufacturer‘s warranty for 50,000 miles on the substrates and 50,000 miles or five years on the shell and end pipes. Miller Catalyzer Corporation and its vendors may not advertise the new aftermarket catalytic converter as a "high or easy flow" catalytic converter or use any phrase that could make them appear to perform better than an OEM catalytic converter. The new aftermarket catalytic converter substrate may not be sotd or supplied to a third party by Miller, its associates, vendors, other businesses, and individuals associated with Miller, to be assembled in a different facility and marketed under this Executive Order. Any marketing arrangement of the new aftermarket catalytic converter by a third party, which involves the use of packaging identification different from the ones described in this Executive Order must be approved by Air Resources Board prior to shipment.
