in Sec.  600.302-12(c)(5): ``This vehicle emits x grams CO2
per mile. The best emits 0 grams per mile (tailpipe only). Does not
include emissions from generating electricity; learn more at
fueleconomy.gov.'' For x, insert the vehicle's composite CO2
emission rate as described in Sec.  600.311.

60. Section 600.311-12 is added to subpart D to read as follows:

Sec.  600.311-12  Determination of values for fuel economy labels.

    (a) Fuel economy. Determine city and highway fuel economy values as
described in Sec.  600.210-12(a) and (b). Determine combined fuel
economy values as described in Sec.  600.210-12(c). Note that the label
for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles requires separate values for
combined fuel economy for vehicle operation before and after the
vehicle's battery is fully discharged; we generally refer to these
modes as ``Blended Electric+Gas'' (or ``Electric Only'', as applicable)
and ``Gas only''.
    (b) CO2 emission rate. Determine the engine-related CO2
emission rate as described in Sec.  600.210-12(d).
    (c) Fuel consumption rate. Calculate the fuel consumption rate as
follows:
    (1) For vehicles with engines that are not plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles, calculate the fuel consumption rate in gallons per 100 miles
(or gasoline gallon equivalent per 100 miles for fuels other than
gasoline or diesel fuel) with the following formula, rounded to the
first decimal place:

Fuel Consumption Rate = 100/MPG

Where:

MPG = The unrounded value for combined fuel economy from Sec.
600.210-12(c).

    (2) For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, calculate two separate
fuel consumption rates as follows:
    (i) Calculate the fuel consumption rate based on engine operation
after the

battery is fully discharged as described in paragraph (c)(1) of this
section.
    (ii) Calculate the fuel consumption rate during operation before
the battery is fully discharged in kW-hours per 100 miles as described
in SAE J1711 (incorporated by reference in Sec.  600.011), as described
in Sec.  600.116.
    (3) For electric vehicles, calculate the fuel consumption rate in
kW-hours per 100 miles with the following formula, rounded to the
nearest whole number:

Fuel Consumption Rate = 100/MPG

Where:

MPG = The combined fuel economy value from paragraph (a) of this
section, in miles per kW-hour.

    (4) For hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, calculate the fuel consumption
rate in kilograms of hydrogen per 100 miles with the following formula,
rounded to the nearest whole number:

Fuel Consumption Rate = 100/MPG

Where:

MPG = The combined fuel economy value from paragraph (a) of this
section, in miles per kilogram of hydrogen.

    (d) Fuel economy and greenhouse gas ratings. Determine a vehicle's
fuel economy and greenhouse gas ratings as follows:
    (1) For gasoline-fueled vehicles that are not plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles (including flexible fuel vehicles that operate on
gasoline), establish a single rating based only on the vehicle's
combined fuel economy from paragraph (a) of this section. For all other
vehicles, establish a fuel economy rating based on the vehicle's
combined fuel economy and establish a separate greenhouse gas rating
based on combined CO2 emission rates from paragraph (b) of
this section.
    (2) We will establish the fuel economy rating based on fuel
consumption values specified in paragraph (c) of this section. We will
establish the value dividing the 5 and 6 ratings based on the fuel
consumption corresponding to the projected achieved Corporate Average
Fuel Economy level for the applicable model year. This is intended to
prevent below-average vehicles from getting an above-average fuel
economy rating for the label. We will establish the remaining cutpoints
based on a statistical evaluation of available information from the
certification database for all model types. Specifically, the mean
value plus two standard deviations will define the point between the 1
and 2 ratings. The mean value minus two standard deviations will define
the point between the 9 and 10 ratings. The 1 rating will apply for any
vehicle with higher fuel consumption rates than the 2 rating;
similarly, the 10 rating will apply for any vehicle with lower fuel
consumption rates than the 9 rating. We will calculate range values for
the remaining intermediate ratings by dividing the range into equal
intervals. We will convert the resulting range intervals to equivalent
miles-per-gallon values. We will define the greenhouse gas ratings by
converting the values from the fuel economy rating intervals to
equivalent CO2 emission rates using the conventional
conversion factor for gasoline (8887 g CO2 per gallon of
consumed fuel).
    (e) Annual fuel cost. Calculate annual fuel costs as follows:
    (1) Except as specified in paragraph (e)(3) of this section,
calculate the total annual fuel cost with the following formula,
rounded to nearest $50:

Annual Fuel Cost = Fuel Price/MPG x Average Annual Miles

W

here:Fuel Price = The estimated fuel price provided by EPA for the
type of fuel required for the vehicle. The units are dollars per
gallon for gasoline and diesel fuel, dollars per gasoline gallon
equivalent for natural gas, dollars per kW-hr for plug-in
electricity, and dollars per kilogram of hydrogen for hydrogen fuel
cell vehicles.
MPG = The combined fuel economy value from paragraph (a) of this
section. The units are miles per gallon for gasoline and diesel
fuel, miles per gasoline gallon equivalent for natural gas, miles
per kW-hr for plug-in electricity, and miles per kilogram of
hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Average Annual Miles = The estimated annual mileage figure provided
by EPA, in miles.

    (2) For dual fuel vehicles and flexible fuel vehicles, disregard
operation on the alternative fuel.
    (3) For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, calculate annual fuel
cost as described in this paragraph (e)(3). This description applies
for vehicles whose engine starts only after the battery is fully
discharged. Use good engineering judgment to extrapolate this for
calculating annual fuel cost for vehicles that use combined power from
the battery and the engine before the battery is fully discharged.
Calculate annual fuel cost as follows:
    (i) Determine the charge-depleting ranges for city and highway
operation as described in paragraph (j)(4)(i) of this section. Adjust
each of these values for 5-cycle operation.
    (ii) Calculate multi-day individual utility factors (UF) as
described in Sec.  600.116 corresponding to the driving ranges from
paragraph (e)(3)(i) of this section.
    (iii) Calculate values for the vehicle's average fuel economy over
the charge-depleting range (in miles per kW-hr) for city and highway
operation as described in Sec.  600.210. Adjust each of these values
for 5-cycle operation. Convert these to $/mile values by dividing the
appropriate fuel price from paragraph (e)(1) of this section by the
average fuel economy determined in this paragraph (e)(3)(iii).
    (iv) Calculate values for the vehicle's average fuel economy over
the charge-sustaining range (in miles per gallon) for city and highway
operation as described in Sec.  600.210-12. Adjust each of these values
for 5-cycle operation. Convert these to $/mile values by dividing the
appropriate fuel price from paragraph (e)(1) of this section by the
average fuel economy determined in this paragraph (e)(3)(iv).
    (v) Calculate a composite $/mile value for city driving using the
following equation:

$/mile = $/mileCD x UF + $/mileCS x (1-UF)

    (vi) Repeat the calculation in paragraph (e)(3)(v) of this section
for highway driving.
    (vii) Calculate the annual fuel cost based the combined values for
city and highway driving using the following equation:

Annual fuel cost = ($/milecity x 0.55 + $/milehwy
x 0.45) x Average Annual Miles

    (f) Fuel savings. Calculate an estimated five-year cost increment
relative to an average vehicle by multiplying the unrounded annual fuel
cost from paragraph (e) of this section by 5 and subtracting this value
from the average five-year fuel cost. We will calculate the average
five-year fuel cost from the annual fuel cost equation in paragraph (e)
of this section based on a gasoline-fueled vehicle with a mean fuel
economy value, consistent with the value dividing the 5 and 6 ratings
under paragraph (d) of this section. The average five-year fuel cost
for model year 2012 is $12,600 for a 22-mpg vehicle that drives 15,000
miles per year with gasoline priced at $3.70 per gallon. We may
periodically update this five-year reference fuel cost for later model
years to better characterize the fuel economy for an average vehicle.
Round the calculated five-year cost increment to the nearest $50.
Negative values represent a cost increase compared to the average
vehicle.
    (g) Smog rating. Establish a rating for exhaust emissions other
than CO2 based on the applicable emission standards as shown
in Table 2 of this section. For

Independent Commercial Importers that import vehicles not subject to
Tier 2 emission standards, the vehicle's smog rating is 1. If EPA or
California emission standards change in the future, we may revise the
emission levels corresponding to each rating for future model years as
appropriate to reflect the changed standards. If this occurs, we would
publish the revised ratings as described in Sec.  600.302-12(k),
allowing sufficient lead time to make the changes; we would also expect
to initiate a rulemaking to update the smog rating in the regulation.

     (h) Ranges of fuel economy and CO2 emission values. We
will determine the range of combined fuel economy and CO2
emission values for each vehicle class identified in Sec.  600.315. We
will generally update these range values before the start of each model
year based on the lowest and highest values within each vehicle class.
We will also use this same information to establish a range of fuel
economy values for all vehicles. Continue to use the most recently
published numbers until we update them, even if you start a new model
year before we publish the range values for the new model year.
    (i) [Reserved]
    (j) Driving range. Determine the driving range for certain vehicles
as follows:
    (1) For vehicles operating on nonpressurized liquid fuels,
determine the vehicle's driving range in miles by multiplying the
combined fuel economy described in paragraph (a) of this section by the
vehicle's usable fuel storage capacity, rounded to the nearest whole
number.
    (2) For electric vehicles, determine the vehicle's overall driving
range as described in Section 8 of SAE J1634 (incorporated by reference
in Sec.  600.011), as described in Sec.  600.116. Determine separate
range values for FTP-based city and HFET-based highway driving, then
calculate a combined value by arithmetically averaging the two values,
weighted 0.55 and 0.45 respectively, and rounding to the nearest whole
number.
    (3) For natural gas vehicles, determine the vehicle's driving range
in miles by multiplying the combined fuel economy described in
paragraph (a) of this section by the vehicle's usable fuel storage
capacity (expressed in gasoline gallon equivalents), rounded to the
nearest whole number.
    (4) For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, determine the battery
driving range and overall driving range as described in SAE J1711
(incorporated by reference in Sec.  600.011), as described in Sec.
600.116, as follows:
    (i) Determine the vehicle's Actual Charge-Depleting Range,
Rcda. Determine separate range values for FTP-based city and
HFET-based highway driving, then calculate a combined value by
arithmetically averaging the two values, weighted 0.55 and 0.45
respectively, and rounding to the nearest whole number. Precondition
the vehicle as needed to minimize engine operation for consuming stored
fuel vapors in evaporative canisters; for example, you may purge the
evaporative canister or time a refueling event to avoid engine starting
related to purging the canister. For vehicles that use combined power
from the battery and the engine before the battery is fully discharged,
also use this procedure to establish an all electric range by
determining the distance the vehicle drives before the engine starts,
rounded to the nearest mile. You may represent this as a range of
values. We may approve adjustments to these procedures if they are
necessary to properly characterize a vehicle's all electric range.
    (ii) Use good engineering judgment to calculate the vehicle's
operating distance before the fuel tank is empty when starting with a
full fuel tank and a fully charged battery, consistent with the
procedure and calculation specified in this paragraph (j), rounded to
the nearest 10 miles.
    (5) For hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, determine the vehicle's
driving range in miles by multiplying the combined fuel economy
described in paragraph (a) of this section by the vehicle's usable fuel
storage capacity (expressed in kilograms of hydrogen), rounded to the
nearest whole number.
    (k) Charge time. For electric vehicles, determine the time it takes
to fully charge the battery from a 240 volt power source to the point
that the battery meets the manufacturer's end-of-charge criteria,
consistent with the procedures specified in SAE J1634 (incorporated by
reference in Sec.  600.011) for electric vehicles and in SAE J1711
(incorporated by reference in Sec.  600.011) for plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles, as described in Sec.  600.116. This value may be
more or less than the 12-hour minimum charging time specified for
testing. You must alternatively specify the charge time based on a
standard 120 volt power source if the vehicle cannot be charged at the
higher voltage.
    (l) California-specific values. If the Administrator determines
that automobiles intended for sale in California are likely to exhibit
significant differences in fuel economy or other label values from
those intended for sale in other states, the Administrator will compute
separate values for each class of automobiles for California and for
the other states.

accordance with Sec.  600.210 except that the values shall be rounded
to the nearest 0.1 mpg.
    (iv) The existing label values, calculated in accordance with Sec.
600.210, shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 mpg.
    (4)(i) If the recalculated city or highway fuel economy value in
paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section is less than the respective city
or highway value in paragraph (b)(3)(iv) of this section by 1.0 mpg or
more, the manufacturer shall affix labels with the recalculated model
type values (rounded to the nearest whole mpg) to all new vehicles of
that model type beginning on the day of implementation of the running
change.
    (ii) If the recalculated city or highway fuel economy value in
paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section is higher than the respective
city or highway value in paragraph (b)(3)(iv) of this section by 1.0
mpg or more, then the manufacturer has the option to use the
recalculated values for labeling the entire model type beginning on the
day of implementation of the running change.
    (c) For fuel economy labels updated using recalculated fuel economy
values determined in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section, the

(e.g., the annual fuel cost, range of comparable vehicles and the
applicability of the Gas Guzzler Tax as needed).
    (d) The Administrator shall periodically update the range of fuel
economies of comparable automobiles based upon all label data supplied
to the Administrator.
    (e) The manufacturer may request permission from the Administrator
to calculate and use label values based on test data from vehicles
which have not completed the Administrator-ordered confirmatory testing
required under the provisions of Sec.  600.008-08(b). If the
Administrator approves such a calculation the following procedures
shall be used to determine if relabeling is required after the
confirmatory testing is completed.
    (1) The Administrator-ordered confirmatory testing shall be
completed as quickly as possible.
    (2) Using the additional data under paragraph (e)(1) of this
section, the manufacturer shall calculate new model type city and
highway values in accordance with Sec. Sec.  600.207 and 600.210 except
that the values shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 mpg.
    (3) The existing label values, calculated in accordance with Sec.
600.210, shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 mpg.
    (4) The manufacturer may need to revise fuel economy labels as

    (i) If the recalculated city or highway fuel economy value in
paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section is less than the respective city
or highway value in paragraph (b)(3)(iv) of this section by 0.5 mpg or
more, the manufacturer shall affix labels with the recalculated model
type MPG values (rounded to the nearest whole number) to all new
vehicles of that model type beginning 15 days after the completion of
the confirmatory test.
    (ii) If both the recalculated city or highway fuel economy value in
paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section is less than the respective city
or highway value in paragraph (b)(3)(iv) of this section by 0.1 mpg or

statement and rates to all new vehicles of that model type beginning 15
days after the completion of the confirmatory test.
    (5) For fuel economy labels updated using recalculated fuel economy
values determined in accordance with paragraph (e)(4) of this section,
the manufacturer shall concurrently update all other label information
(e.g., the annual fuel cost, range of comparable vehicles and the
applicability of the Gas Guzzler Tax if required by Department of
Treasury regulations).

    (2) The Administrator will classify light trucks (nonpassenger
automobiles) into the following classes: Small pickup trucks, standard
pickup trucks, vans, minivans, and SUVs. Starting in the 2013 model
year, SUVs will be divided between small sport utility vehicles and
standard sport utility vehicles. Pickup trucks and SUVs are separated
by car line on the basis of gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). For a
product line with more than one GVWR, establish the characteristic GVWR
value for the product line by calculating the arithmetic average of all
distinct GVWR values less than or equal to 8,500 pounds available for
that product line. The Administrator may determine that specific light
trucks should be most appropriately placed in a different class or in
the special purpose vehicle class as provided in paragraphs (a)(3)(i)
and (ii) of this section, based on the features and characteristics of
the specific vehicle, consumer information provided by the
manufacturer, and other information available to consumers.

Subpart E--Energy Independence and Security Act; Consumer
Information

Sec.  575.401  Vehicle labeling of fuel economy, greenhouse gas, and
other pollutant emissions information.

    (a) Purpose and scope. The purpose of this section is to aid
potential purchasers in the selection of new passenger cars and light
trucks by providing them with information about vehicles' performance
in terms of fuel economy, greenhouse gas (GHG), and other air pollutant
emissions. Manufacturers of passenger cars and light trucks are
required to include this information on the label described in this
section. Although this information will also be available through means
such as postings at http://www.fueleconomy.gov, the additional label
information is intended to provide consumers with this information at
the point of sale, and to help them compare between vehicles.
    (b) Application. This section applies to passenger cars and light
trucks manufactured in model year 2013 and later. Manufacturers may
optionally comply with this section during model year 2012.
    (c) Definitions.
    (1) Data element means a piece of information required or permitted
to be included on the fuel economy and environment label.
    (2) Fuel economy and environment label means the label with
information about automobile performance in terms of fuel economy,
greenhouse gases, and other emissions and with rating systems for fuel
economy, greenhouse gases, and other emissions that also indicate the
automobile(s) with the highest fuel economy and lowest greenhouse gas
emissions, as specified at 49 U.S.C. 32908(g).
    (3) Miles per gasoline gallon equivalent (MPGe) is a measure of
distance traveled per unit of energy consumed, and functions as a
recognizable equivalent to, e.g., kilowatt-hours per mile (kW-hr/mile).

    (4) Monroney label means the label placed on new automobiles with
the manufacturer's suggested retail price and other consumer
information, as specified at 15 U.S.C. 1231-1233 (also known as the
``Automobile Information Disclosure Act label'').
    (5) Other air pollutants or other emissions means those tailpipe
emissions, other than carbon dioxide (CO2), for which
manufacturers must provide EPA with emissions rates for all new light
duty vehicles each model year under EPA's Tier 2 light duty vehicle
emissions standards requirements (40 CFR Part 86, Subpart S) or the
parallel requirements for those vehicles certified instead to the
California emissions standards. These air pollutants include non-
methane organic gases (NMOG), nitrogen oxides (NOX),
particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and formaldehyde (HCHO).
    (6) Slider bar means a horizontal rating scale with a minimum value
at one end and a maximum value at the other end that can accommodate a
designation of a specific value between those values with a box or
arrow. The actual rating value would be printed (displayed) at the
proper position on the scale representing the vehicle's actual rating
value relative to the two end values.
    (d) Required label. Prior to being offered for sale, each
manufacturer must affix or cause to be affixed and each dealer must
maintain or cause to be maintained on each passenger car or light truck
a label that meets the requirements specified in this section, and
conforms in content, format, and sequence to the sample labels depicted
