EXEMPTION JUSTIFICATION (Attach additional sheets if necessary)

Under the U.S. EPA 40 CFR, Part 1065 and 1066, the Air Resources Board (ARB) is required to have the most accurate and defensible data on filter mass results. In order to provide such accurate results, ARB sought the help of the Measurement Technology Laboratories, LLC (MTL) who at the time was the only Contractor with an Auto Weighing System (A WS). MTL was able to use their existing system as a base to develop and completely customize an A WS for ARB's already existing clean rooms. MTL shall maintain ARB's customized Particulate Matter (PM) gravimetric measurement system. This system is proprietary to MTL and only MTL employees and engineers can maintain and service ARB's A WS system. MTL shall maintain ARB's controlled rooms and A WS system to provide the most accurate and defensible filter mass results that is fed into ARB's emission inventory and used for the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The proprietary A WS incorporated into the control rooms and equipment used for testing cannot be sustained without maintaining the rooms and equipment as well.
