Amend title 13, California Code of Regulations, section 2025, to
read as follows: 
NOTE: Set forth below are proposed amendments to title 13, of the
California Code of Regulations. 

Article 4.5. 
§ 2025. Regulation to Reduce Emissions of Diesel Particulate
Matter, Oxides of Nitrogen and Other Criteria Pollutants from
In-Use Heavy-Duty Diesel-Fueled Vehicles. 


(40) “Low-use Vehicle” means: a vehicle that will be operated fewer
than 1,000 miles in California in any compliance year. If that
vehicle has an engine that powers other equipment that can only be
used while stationary, the engine or power take off (PTO) must also
operate less than 100 hours in any compliance year. The hour
limitation does not apply for vehicles where the engine is used to
power an auxiliary mechanism that strictly loads and unloads cargo
from the vehicle (examples include, but are not limited to, dump
trucks, cement powder trucks, or trucks with attached lift
devices). 
(A) A vehicle that is operated fewer than 1,000 miles within the
borders of California in the compliance year, or 
(B) Until January 1, 2020, a vehicle that is operated fewer than
5,000 total miles, regardless of where it is operated, in the
compliance year. 

(1) Beginning January 1, 2011 through January 1, 2017, any vehicle
meeting the definition of an agricultural vehicle, as defined in
section 2025(d)(6)(5 ), that remains below the annual mileage
limits in Table 6 below are exempt from the requirements of section
2025(f) and (g).
