PROPOSED RULES
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 05-12-129.
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Chapter 173-423 WAC, Low emission vehicles, this rule implements ESHB 1397 in which the 2005 legislature adopted the California vehicle emission standards for certain vehicles and directed ecology to develop this rule. ESHB 1397 makes it illegal to register, lease, rent, or sell for use in the state any passenger car, light duty truck and medium duty passenger vehicle with less than 7,500 miles that does not meet California vehicle emission standards.
Hearing Location(s): Department of Ecology, Eastern Regional Office, 4601 North Monroe Street, Spokane, WA 99205, on November 9, 2005, at 7:00 p.m.; at the Department of Ecology, Northwest Regional Office, 3190 160th Avenue S.E., Bellevue, WA 98008, on November 14, 2005, at 7:00 p.m.; and at the Southwest Clean Air Agency, 11815 N.E. 99th Street, Suite 1294, Vancouver, WA, on November 15, 2005, at 7:00 p.m.
Date of Intended Adoption: November 28, 2005.
Submit Written Comments to: Brett Rude, Department of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504, e-mail brud461@ecy.wa.gov, fax (360) 407-7534, by November 18, 2005.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This new chapter of the Washington Administrative Code adopts specific California emission standards by reference, establishes that the requirements will apply to 2009 and subsequent model year vehicles, establishes certain exemptions, provides for a phase-in of the requirements, and establishes reporting, compliance and enforcement procedures that affect automobile manufacturers and dealers.
The effect of this rule is it will be illegal to register, sell, lease or rent for use in the state 2009 and later model year vehicles that are not certified to California standards. These vehicles will have lower emissions of ozone forming pollutants, cancer causing air toxics and greenhouse gases than would otherwise be the case. Reporting and registration requirements are established to help ensure compliance with these requirements. A penalty of up to $5,000 per vehicle is established for violations of these requirements.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The reduced emissions of ozone forming pollutants will reduce the risk of violating the national ozone standards and the possibility that some areas in Washington could be designated nonattainment for ozone by the Environmental Protection Agency. A designation of nonattainment would impose substantial costs on the start-up or expansion of industries with air emissions in such areas. The reduction of cancer causing air toxics will reduce health impacts and medical costs to citizens of Washington, especially those with impaired cardio-pulmonary health. Reduction of greenhouse gases will help Washington avoid the potentially serious impacts of global warming such as reduced snow pack, reduced summer water supplies, further impaired salmon runs, and reduced agricultural water supplies.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: ESHB 1397 codified as RCW 70.120A.010.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 70.120A.010, 46.16.017, and 46.37.540.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Agency Comments or Recommendations, if any, as to Statutory Language, Implementation, Enforcement, and Fiscal Matters: Department of Licensing may amend its rules to further implement requirements pertaining to the registration and titling of vehicles pursuant to chapter 46.16 RCW as amended by ESHB 1397. The California regulations being adopted by reference are available for inspection on ecology's web site, http://www.ecy.wa.gov/ecyhome.html.

A small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW.
DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF THE SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT (SBEIS): The objective of this SBEIS is to identify and evaluate the various requirements and costs that the rule might impose on business. In particular, the SBEIS examines whether the costs impose a disproportionate impact on the state's small businesses. The specific purpose/required contents of the SBEIS can be found in RCW 19.85.040.
IMPACT STATEMENT: This rule will affect franchise auto dealers (new cars) and independent auto dealers (used cars) in Washington. The rule also affects vehicle manufacturers. However, they have no facilities in Washington that must be analyzed under the small business impact provisions. There are 435 franchise auto dealers, operating at 651 locations, and 2,225 independent auto dealers. Franchise dealers are almost always larger than independent auto dealers because they are required to have repair facilities to do warranty work and must meet other manufacturer requirements. New vehicles never before titled and registered, which are over 90% of the vehicles affected by this rule, can be sold only by franchise auto dealers. Independent auto dealers only rarely have service and repair facilities. Under the rule, all 2009 and later model year vehicles with less than 7,500 miles sold for use in Washington have to be certified to California standards. The auto dealers estimate that roughly 95% of low mileage used vehicles with under 7,500 miles will be sold by franchise dealers, most of the rest will be sold by independent dealers, and a small number will be sold by individuals.
The normal day to day cost of selling vehicles and acquiring vehicles to sell is not affected by these rules. Regarding the acquisition of inventory after the rules are effective, dealers must only buy California certified vehicles for their inventory. Franchise dealers must order new California certified vehicles from manufacturers and all dealers will need to only buy used inventory from individuals, auctions, or other dealers that are also California certified. The Department of Ecology (ecology) determines there is no substantial cost to this; it is simply one more specification they need to have. The cost of this inventory may be higher in that new California certified vehicles are expected to cost on average about $1,000 more per vehicle than federally certified vehicles. That increase is expected to increase the price of used vehicles in the future. Ecology believes this increased cost will be passed on to consumers and will not substantially affect dealer margins.
Regarding the sale of vehicles, the primary costs of advertising and selling the vehicles remains the same. Dealers are also required to register vehicles for their customers. No additional record keeping or data handling affecting registration is required by these rules. Licensing agents will be required to use the information supplied in a slightly different way than without the rule. No new information or records are being required of dealers.
The rule does affect auto dealers in the following ways:
| • | Staff time needed to accommodate possible inspections by ecology staff. |
| • | Staff time needed to respond to possible information requests or possible fines if a dealer is violating the law. |
Licensing subagents are also affected by these rules. In Washington vehicles can be licensed either by county auditors or by private businesses called subagents. County auditors are "agents" for DOL and the private businesses are licensed by the auditors as "subagents." The private subagents all have less than fifty employees and licensing counters are often staffed by one person.
The main effect of the legislation and rule is that licensing agents will have to document that new vehicles and used vehicles with less than 7,500 miles are California certified. For new vehicles the manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO) provides readily available documentation of California certification. For used vehicles with less than 7,500 miles subagents will have to examine an extra form submitted by the dealers. If an individual is registering such a low mileage used vehicle, they will need to also supply extra documentation to prove that the vehicle is California certified. If the vehicle qualifies for an exemption, there will also be extra documentation required. Explaining the requirements to individuals registering vehicles with less than 7,500 miles or needing an exemption is expected to take the most time. DOL estimates that 11,000 vehicles, or about 4% of Washington registrations are purchases from out of state and will be registered by the individual purchaser rather than a dealer. This is a small fraction of the overall registrations, but additional time may be needed to handle some of these transactions. The effect of handling these requirements is not expected to increase staffing needs or otherwise substantially increase the costs of the subagents, especially in the longer run. There will, however, be a "learning curve" regarding application of the new requirements.
It is likely to take some time for licensing agents' staff to learn the new requirements. There is an ongoing system operated by DOL for training licensing agents. DOL maintains a licensing subagent "mailbox" where e-mails that update procedures and provide solutions to problems are distributed. Training materials will be developed by DOL and ecology, so the subagent cost is primarily the time needed to learn the new requirements. With two years before these requirements go into effect, some of the training can be accomplished through existing training mechanisms. Subagents may need to spend extra time on training since there are a number of different requirements that will now apply to licensing and titling. Most of these requirements are directly from the legislation. The proposed rule did not include some exemptions provided for in other states, so costs associated with exemptions are minimized in this rule.
Licensing subagents meet the regulatory definition of a small business but there is no demonstrated disproportionate impact under the Regulatory Fairness Act. The costs for licensing agents to learn the new rules and to register and title vehicles should be minimal given the long lead time available.
Ecology could not determine any disproportional impacts from this rule on franchise dealers, independent dealers or licensing subagents.
