EXEMPTION JUSTIFICATION {Attach additional sheets if necessary)

The Air Resources Board (ARB) operates the Measurement and Technology Assessment Laboratory (MTA Lab) and is responsible for developing and implementing regulations to protect public health from air pollution hazards. The introduction of advanced engine and vehicle technology. emission aftenrcatments. or newer fuels in response to ARB's stringent regulations is creating new exhaust profiles, which are in need for in-depth characterization. The MTA Lab is required to collect and analyze emission data from various heavy duty vehicles through engine or chassis clynamometer testing.

The existing test automation systems, Chassis and Engine Dynamometer Test Control System (C/EDTCS). are proprietary to 1-loriba Instruments. Inc. (Horiba or Contractor). These automation systems control the dynarnorneters, gas analyzers, PM samplers. carbonyl impinge sampling cart. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) raw sampling analyzer, CVS flow measurements, CVS sample bag filling and analysis. lab ambient condition monitors, and many other pieces of equipment. With more electrification, vehicles and engines becoming more complex, modern engine and vehicle technologies are challenging the existing emissions measurement procedures and test equipment. Current and future emission tests demand more communication between the test automation systems and engines. The modification of the C/EDTCS automation, interfacing, data recording, and report generation is limited to the Contractor.
