This section establishes requirements for automobile manufacturers to submit reports to the Environmental Protection Agency regarding their efforts to reduce automotive greenhouse gas emissions.
(a) General Requirements. (1) For each model year, each manufacturer shall submit a pre-model year report.
(1) For each model year, each manufacturer shall submit a pre-model year report.
(2) The pre-model year report required by this section for each model year must be submitted before the model year begins and before the certification of any test group, no later than December 31 of the calendar year two years before the model year. For example the pre-model year report for the 2012 model year must be submitted no later than December 31, 2010.
(3) Each report required by this section must:
(i) Identify the report as a pre-model year report;
(ii) Identify the manufacturer submitting the report;
(iii) State the full name, title, and address of the official responsible for preparing the report;
(iv) Be submitted to: Director, Compliance and Innovative Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2000 Traverwood, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105;
(v) Identify the current model year;
(vi) Be written in the English language; and
(vii) Be based upon all information and data available to the manufacturer approximately 30 days before the report is submitted to the Administrator.
(b) Content of pre-model year reports. (1) Each pre-model year report must include the following information for each compliance category for the applicable future model year and to the extent possible, two model years into the future:
(1) Each pre-model year report must include the following information for each compliance category for the applicable future model year and to the extent possible, two model years into the future:
(i) The manufacturer's estimate of its footprint-based fleet average CO2 standards (including temporary lead time allowance alternative standards, if applicable);
(ii) Projected total and model-level production volumes for each applicable standard category;
(iii) Projected fleet average CO2 compliance level for each applicable standard category; and the model-level CO2 emission values which form the basis of the projection;
(iv) Projected fleet average CO2 credit/debit status for each applicable standard category;
(v) A description of the various credit, transfer and trading options that will be used to comply with each applicable standard category, including the amount of credit the manufacturer intends to generate for air conditioning leakage, air conditioning efficiency, off-cycle technology, advanced technology vehicles, hybrid or low-emission full size pickup trucks, and various early credit programs;
(vi) A description of the method which will be used to calculate the carbon-related exhaust emissions for any electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles;
(vii) A summary by model year (beginning with the 2009 model year) of the number of electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, dedicated compressed natural gas vehicles, and dual fuel natural gas vehicles using (or projected to use) the advanced technology vehicle credit and incentives program, including the projected use of production multipliers;
(viii) The methodology which will be used to comply with N2O and CH4 emission standards; and
(ix) Notification of the manufacturer's intent to exclude emergency vehicles from the calculation of fleet average standards and the end-of-year fleet average, including a description of the excluded emergency vehicles and the quantity of such vehicles excluded.
(x) Other information requested by the Administrator.
(2) Manufacturers must submit, in the pre-model year report for each model year in which a credit deficit is generated (or projected to be generated), a compliance plan demonstrating how the manufacturer will comply with the fleet average CO2 standard by the end of the third year after the deficit occurred.

(a) This sample fuel economy calculation is applicable to 1978 through 1987 model year automobiles.
(1) Assume that a gasoline-fueled vehicle was tested by the Federal Emission Test Procedure and the following results were calculated: HC=.139 grams/mileCO=1.59 grams/mileCO2=317 grams/mile
According to the procedure in Sec. 600.113-78, the city fuel economy or MPGc, for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the HC, CO, and CO2 grams/mile values into the following equation.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC15NO91.202 MPGc=27.7
(2) Assume that the same vehicle was tested by the Federal Highway Fuel Economy Test Procedure and calculation similar to that shown in paragraph (a) by this appendix resulted in a highway fuel economy or MPGh of 36.9. According to the procedure in Sec. 600.113, the combined fuel economy (called MPGc/h) for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the city and highway fuel economy values into the following equation:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC15NO91.203
(b) This sample fuel economy calculation is applicable to 1988 and later model year automobiles.
(1) Assume that a gasoline-fueled vehicle was tested by the Federal Emission Test Procedure and the following results were calculated: HC = .139 grams/mile.CO = 1.59 grams/mile.CO2 = 317 grams/mile.
(2) Assume that the test fuel used for this test had the following properties: SG = 0.745.CWF = 0.868.NHV = 18,478 Btu/lb.
(3) According to the procedure in Sec. 600.113-08, the city fuel economy or MPGc, for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the HC, CO, and CO2 gram/mile values and the SG, CWF, and NHV values into the following equation: MPGc = (5174 x 10\4\x CWF x SG) / [((CWF x HC) + (0.429 x CO
+ (0.273 x CO2)) ((0.6 x SG x NHV) + 5471)]
Example: MPGc = (5174 x 10 \4\ x 0.868 x 0.745) / [(0.868 x .139 +
0.429 x 1.59 + 0.273 x 317)(0.6 x 0.745 x 18478 + 5471)]MPGc = 27.9
(4) Assume that the same vehicle was tested by the Federal Highway Fuel Economy Test Procedure and a calculation similar to that shown in (b)(3) of this section resulted in a highway fuel economy of MPGh of 36.9. According to the procedure in Sec. 600.210-08(c) or Sec. 600.210-12(c), the combined fuel economy (called MPGcomb) for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the city and highway fuel economy values into the following equation:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06JY11.045 [51 FR 37852, Oct. 24, 1986, as amended at 71 FR 77958, Dec. 27, 2006; 76 FR 39570, July 6, 2011]
Sec. Appendix III to Part 600--Sample Fuel Economy Label Calculation
Suppose that a manufacturer called Mizer Motors has a product line composed of eight car lines. Of these eight, four are available with the 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder, sequential multi-point fuel injection, 4-valve per cylinder, and 3-way catalyst engine. These four car lines are: AjaxBoredom IIIDodoCastor (Station Wagon)
A. A car line is defined in subpart A (with additional guidance provided in EPA Advisory Circular 89) as a group of vehicles within a make or division which has a degree of commonality in construction. Car line does not consider any level of decor or opulence and is not generally distinguished by such characteristics as roofline, number of doors, seats, or windows. Station wagons and light duty trucks are, however, identified separately from the remainder of each car line. In other words, a Castor station wagon would be considered a different car line than the normal Castor car line made up of sedans, coupes, etc.
B. The engine considered here is defined as a basic engine in subpart A of this part (with additional guidance provided in EPA Advisory Circular 83A). A basic engine is a unique combination of manufacturer, engine displacement, number of cylinders, fuel system, catalyst usage and other engine and emission control system characteristics specified by the Administrator. A model type is a unique combination of car line, basic engine, and transmission class. Thus Ajax is a car line but Ajax 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder manual four-speed transmission is a model type whereas Ajax 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder automatic three-speed transmission is a different model type.
C. The following calculations provide an example of the procedures described in subpart C of this part for the calculation of vehicle configuration and model type fuel economy values. In order to simplify the presentation, only city fuel economy values are included (as determined by either the derived 5-cycle method or vehicle-specific 5-cycle based method). The procedure is identical for highway and combined fuel economy values.
Step I. Input data as supplied by the manufacturer or as determined from testing conducted by the Administrator.

Step III. Determine base level fuel economy values.
A. For all the base levels except the base level which includes 4,000 pound, manual four-speed transmission data, the base level fuel economy is as noted in Step II since only one vehicle configuration was tested within each of these base levels. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------3,500 lb/M4 transmission.................. 16.1001 mpg.3,500 lb/A3 transmission.................. 15.9020 mpg.4,000 lb/A3 transmission.................. 13.8138 mpg.4,500 lb/A3 transmission.................. 13.2203 mpg.5,000 lb/A3 transmission.................. 10.6006 mpg.------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Since data from more than one vehicle configuration are included in the 4,000-pound, manual four-speed transmission base level, this fuel economy is harmonically averaged in proportion to the percentage of total sales of all vehicle configurations tested within that base level represented by each vehicle configuration tested within that base level. [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27DE06.083
Base level: M4 transmission, 4000 pounds:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27DE06.084
Therefore, the 4000 pound, M4 transmission fuel economy is 14.6840 miles per gallon.
Note that the car line of the test vehicle using a given engine makes no difference--only the weight and transmission do.
Step IV. For each model type offered by the manufacturer with that basic engine, determine the sales fraction represented by each inertia weight/transmission class combination and the corresponding fuel economy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ajax..................................... M4........................ 0.4000 at 3,500 lb.......... 16.1001

0.8000 at 5,000 lb.......... 10.6006----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step V. Determine fuel economy for each model type (that is, car line/basic engine/transmission class combination).
Ajax, 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder, A3 transmission, model type MPG is calculated as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27DE06.085
Similarly, Ajax and Dodo 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder, M4 model type MPG is calculated as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27DE06.086
Dodo 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder, A3 model type MPG is calculated as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27DE06.087
Boredom III 3.0 liter 6 cylinder M4 model type MPG = 14.6840 mpg, which rounds to 15 mi./gal\1\---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The model type fuel economy values rounded to the nearest mile per gallon, are the fuel economy values listed in the EPA Fuel Economy Guide and used on the general labels (window stickers) for production vehicles for that model year.---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boredom III 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder, A3 model type MPG is calculated as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27DE06.088
Castor 3.0 liter, 6 cylinder, A3 model type MPG is calculated as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27DE06.089
Note that even though no Dodo was actually tested, this approach permits its fuel economy figure to be estimated, based on the inertia weight distribution of projected Dodo sales within a specific engine and transmission grouping. [71 FR 77958, Dec. 27, 2006]

K. Style Guidelines
(a) Fuel economy labels must be printed on white or very light paper. Any label markings for which colors are not specified must be in black and white as shown. Some portions of the label must be filled with a blue or blue-shaded color as specified in subpart D of this part. Use the color blue defined in CMYK values of 40c-10m-0y-0k, or it may be specified as Pantone 283.
(b) Use a Univers font from Adobe or another source that properly reproduces the labels as shown in the samples. Use Light (L), Roman (R), Bold (B) or Black (Bl) font weights as noted. Font size is shown in points, followed by leading specifications in points to indicate line spacing (if applicable). Use white characters in black fields; use black characters in all other places. Unless noted otherwise, text is left-justified with a 1.6 millimeter margin. Some type may need tracking adjustments to fit in the designated space.
(c) Use the following conventions for lines and borders:
(1) Narrow lines defining the border or separating the main fields are 1.6 millimeter thick.
(2) Each rectangular shape or area, including the overall label outline, has an upper left corner that is square (0 radius). All other corners have a 3.2 millimeter radius.
(d) Fuel and vehicle icons, range and slider bars, and agency names and logos are available electronically.
(e) The following figures illustrate the formatting specifications: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06JY11.056 [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06JY11.057 [76 FR 39570, July 6, 2011]
