Series 12200 TWC will be used for dual parallel (2 units) catalytic converter system applications for the selected GM trucks.

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 Air Resources Board finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). Emission performance of the catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by Umicore Automotive Catalysts USA using the Air Resources Board—modified RAT—A bench—aging cycle for 100 hours, as specified in Appendix A to the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters" as adopted on October 25, 2007. WHEREAS, previous emissions and. OBD 11 compatibility tests conducted by Valina, Inc. using a 1999 5.7L Chevrolet Suburban truck equipped with dual exhaust system, and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards and medium—duty vehicle (MDV) weight classification showed that the vehicle met applicable emission standards for LEV/MDV2 with Series 12200 (2 units) installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 12200 TWC did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD |I system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below: NMOG CO NOx 120K Standards 0.230 6.4 0.6 Series 12200 Test 1 0.206 4.4 0.5 Series 12200 Test 2 0.217 5.2 — 0.6
