This exemption is only valid provided the engines meet the following operating conditions: (1) the engine exhaust temperature is greater than or equal to 275 degrees Celsius for 40 to 50 percent of the typical duty cycle, (2) the NOx to PM ratio is at least 8, and (3) the engine is operated using diesel fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 50 parts per million by weight.

2. This exemption is based on emission tests conducted by Johnson Matthey with the CRT Particulate Filter. Johnson Matthey submitted the following results: No. MY — Make . ‘Model THC ~|.

The same emission impact is expected when the CRT Particulate Filter is installed on heavy—duty vehicles equipped with any of the engines listed above. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the CRT Particulate Filter do not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the CRT Particulate Filter, as exempt by the ARB, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system, shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of the CRT Particulate Filter using identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or for an application other than that listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. This Executive Order shall not apply to any CRT Particulate Filter advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the CRT Particulate Filter may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board," may be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication. In addition to the foregoing, the ARB reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on JOHNSON MATTHEY — CRT PARTICULATE FILTER — D—393—4
