Summary Title II - Mobile Sources * TAILPIPE STANDARDS: Cars and light trucks: Tier I is 0.25 NMHC, 3.4 CO and 0.4 NOx. Possible Tier II is 0.125 NMHC, 1.7 CO and 0.2 NOx. Tier I phased in 1994-1996. Effectiveness of Tier II in 2004 depends on EPA study of need, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. Useful life extended to 100,000 miles for most emission standards. * COLD TEMPERATURE CO: Phase-in beginning in 1994 of 10 gpm at 20 degrees F for cars. A 3.4 gpm standard takes effect in 2002 if 6 or more cities are in CO nonattainment in mid-1997. * CLEAN FUELS: In 1998 all centrally-fueled fleets in 26 areas must buy 30% of the new vehicles that meet standards of 0.075 gpm VOC and 0.2 NOx; no toxic standards. If such vehicles are not being offered for sale in California the program is delayed possibly until 2001. Purchase requirements increase to 70% in 3rd year. In 1996, 150,000 clean fuel cars are required to be sold in California; increasing to 300,000 per year by 1999. These cars must meet a standard of 0.125 gpm VOC. Phase 2 begins in 2001 with cars meeting fleet-type standards. Other cities can opt-in to program. * REFORMULATED GASOLINE: Beginning in 1995 reformulated gasoline is required in the 9 worst ozone areas; minimum oxygen content (2.0%), benzene (1.0%), aromatics (25%), VOCs and toxics reductions (15%, up to 20-25% in 2000). Cities can opt-in. * OXYFUELS: Beginning in 1992, gas in 41 CO areas must have 2.7% oxygen level in winter months. * URBAN BUSES: Delays diesel particulate standard from 1991 to 1993. Beginning in 1994 all buses must meet a PM standard of 0.05 g/hphr (if not feasible EPA will set at 0.07). Based on performance EPA may implement a low polluting bus program in larger cities. * REFUELING: After consultation with DOT on safety issues, EPA required to promulgate onboard controls. Stage II requirements vary by classification. * VOLATILITY: 9 psi in most of the country beginning 1992; EPA can set lower levels in warmer areas, but cannot require any standard below 9 psi in attainment areas. * DESULFURIZATION: Diesel fuel highway use limited to 0.05% sulfur by weight. * AIR TOXICS: Based on a study of mobile source-related toxics, EPA will regulate, at a minimum, emissions of benzene and formaldehyde. * NON-ROAD ENGINES: Based on a study, EPA may regulate any category of non-road engines that contribute to urban air pollution. At a minimum, EPA must control locomotive emissions. * LEAD IN GASOLINE: As of January 1, 1996, lead banned from use in motor vehicle fuel.
