             National Low Emission Vehicle (NLEV) Program
                      The National Low Emission Vehicle Program (NLEV) program is a voluntary program to introduce cleaner
                      cars and light trucks in all parts of the country. Under the agreement between the States and automobile
                      manufacturers, manufacturers began selling cleaner model year  1999 and 2000 cars and trucks in Connecticut,
                      Delaware, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and the District of
                      Columbia. (Massachusetts, New York, Vermont and Maine adopted California emission standards beginning
                      in the 1999, 1999, 2000 and 2001 model years, respectively.) Twenty-four of the largest automobile
                      manufacturers have voluntarily entered into the NLEV program. In model year 2001 to 2003 automobile
                      manufacturers will voluntarily sell these cleaner cars and trucks in the 45 states nationwide which are
                      participating in the  NLEV program. Although the automobile manufacturers volunteered for the program,
                      the lower emission levels and other requirements of the NLEV program are enforceable like any other federal
                      new vehicle program. The NLEV program will continue to exist until the cleaner Federal Tier 2 emission
                      standards become effective in the 2004 model year. (40 CFR Part 86 Subpart R)

             Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV)
                      Any motor vehicle having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating greater than 6000 pounds, except
                      passenger cars.
             Incomplete Vehicle
                      Any vehicle which does not have the primary load carrying device or container attached. In situations where
                      individual marketing relationships makes the status of the vehicle questionable, the Executive Officer shall
                      determine whether a specific model complies with the definition of incomplete vehicle.
             Light Duty Truck (LOT)
                      Any motor vehicle, rated at 6000 pounds gross vehicle weight or less, which is designed primarily for purposes of
                      transportation of property or is a derivative of such a vehicle, or is available with special features enabling off-
                      street or off-highway  operation and use.
                      [Note: The California  "light-duty truck" definition is essentially identical to the federal definition for "light light-
                      duty truck."]
             Light Duty Truck 1 (LDT1)
                      Any light-duty truck up through 3,750 Ibs loaded vehicle weight.
                      [Note: California does not use the terms "light-duty truck 1" and "light-duty truck 2" in an official sense. However,
                      they subdivide their light-duty trucks of less than 6000 pounds GVWR based on LVW in exactly the same way the
                      federal regulations do, so these terms are applied to California emission standards to facilitate comparison.]


             Light Duty Truck 2 (LDT2)
                      Any light-duty truck greater than 3,750 Ibs loaded vehicle weight.
                      [Note: California does not use the terms "light-duty truck 1" and "light-duty truck 2" in an official sense. However,
                      they subdivide their light-duty trucks of less than 6000 pounds GVWR based on LVW in exactly the same way the
                      federal regulations do, so these terms are applied to California emission standards to facilitate comparison.]


             Low Emission Vehicle (LEV)
                      Any vehicle certified to low-emission standards.
             Medium Duty Vehicle (MDV)
                      Any pre-1995 model year heavy-duty vehicle having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 8,500 pounds
                      or less, any 1992 and subsequent model year heavy-duty low-emission, ultra-low-emission, super-ultra-low-
                      emission or zero-emission vehicle having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 14,000 pounds or less, or
                      any 1995 and subsequent model year heavy duty vehicle having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of
                      14,000 pounds or less. Medium-duty vehicles are subdivided into five classes (MDV1-MDV5) based on vehicle
                      test weight.


             Non Methane Organic Gases (NMOG)
                      The total mass of oxygenated and non-oxygenated hydrocarbon emissions.
             Passenger Car (PC)
                      Any motor vehicle designed primarily for transportation of persons and having a design capacity of 12 persons or
                      less.
                      [Note: The California  "passenger car" definition is essentially identical to the federal definition for "light-duty
                      vehicle."!

                     weight."]
