Notice of Rule Proposal and State Implementation Plan Revision<\/strong> PUBLIC NOTICE<\/strong> The primary component of this rulemaking is the incorporation by reference of California\u2019s Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulation, which will require manufacturers of passenger cars and light-duty trucks to meet an annual zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) requirement intended to increase the percentage of ZEVs sold in New Jersey that meet the minimum technical requirements. Additionally, the ACC II regulation includes more stringent multi-pollutant exhaust emission standards that manufacturers of internal combustion engine passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty vehicles must meet. The Department proposes this rulemaking to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) and local air pollutants, like nitrogen oxides (NOx<\/sub>) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), from the transportation sector.<\/p>\n This rulemaking has other components that will clarify and update several subchapters related to motor vehicles including N.J.A.C. 7:27-14, Control and Prohibition of Air Pollution from Diesel-Powered Motor Vehicles, N.J.A.C. 7:27-15, Control and Prohibition of Air Pollution from Gasoline-Fueled Motor Vehicles, and N.J.A.C. 7:27-28A, Model Year 2027 or Later Heavy-Duty New Engine and Vehicle Standards and Requirements, N.J.A.C. 7:27-29, Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) Program, and N.J.A.C. 7:27-31, Advanced Clean Trucks Program. Additionally, the proposed rulemaking includes penalty provisions at N.J.A.C. 7:27A for the proposed new rules to the Air Pollution Control rules.<\/p>\n The proposal also constitutes a revision to New Jersey\u2019s State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the attainment and maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone.<\/p>\n The proposal is scheduled to be published in the New Jersey Register dated August 21, 2023.\u00a0 A copy of the proposal is available on the Department\u2019s webpages at:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/deptest.nj.gov\/rules\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/proposals\/proposal-20230821a.pdf<\/a> and LexisNexis free public access to the New Jersey Register at https:\/\/www.lexisnexis.com\/hottopics\/njoal\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n A public hearing concerning the proposal will be conducted virtually via the Department\u2019s video conferencing software on September 21, 2023 at 9:30 A.M.<\/p>\n Please join the meeting from your computer, tablet, or smartphone<\/strong>.
