PUBLIC LAW 94-000—MMMM. DD, 1975

PUBLIC LAW 94-163—DEC. 22, 1975 "(i) the total number of passenger automobiles manufactured by such manufacturer during model year 1974, plus "(ii) 133 percent of the total number of passenger automobiles manufactured by such manufacturer during the first 9 months of model year 1975. "(D) For purposes of subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph any passenger automobile imported during model year 1976, but prior to July 1, 1975, shall be deemed to have been manufactured (and imported) during the first 9 months of model year 1975. " (E) An automobile shall be considered domestically manufactured in any model year if at least 75 percent of the cost to the manufacturer of such automobile is attributable to value added in the United States or Canada, unless the assembly of such automobile is completed in Canada and such automobile is not imported into the United States prior to the expiration of 30 days following the end of such model year. The EPA Administrator may prescribe rules for purposes of carrying out this subparagraph. " (F) The fuel economy of each passenger automobile which is imported by a manufacturer in model year 1978 or 1979, as the case may be, and which is not domestically manufactured by such manufacturer, shall be deemed to be equal to the average fuel economy of all such passenger automobiles. "(c) Any reference in this part to automobiles manufactured by a manufacturer shall be deemed— "(1) to include all automobiles manufactured by persons who control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, such manufacturer; and "(2) to exclude all automobiles manufactured (within the meaning of paragraph (1)) during a model year by such manufacturer which are exported prior to the expiration of 30 days following the end of such model year. "(d)(1) Fuel economy for any model type shall be measured, and average fuel economy of a manufacturer shall be calculated, in accordance with testing and calculation procedures established by the E P A Administrator, by rule. Procedures so established with respect to passenger automobiles (other than for purposes of section 506) shall be the procedures utilized by the E P A Administrator for model year 1975 (weighed 55 percent urban cycle, and 45 percent highway cycle), or procedures which yield comparable results. Procedures under this subsection, to the extent practicable, shall require that fuel economy tests be conducted in conjunction with emissions tests conducted under section 206 of the Clean Air Act. The EPA Administrator shall report any measurements of fuel economy and any calculations of average fuel economy to the Secretary. "(2) 'The E P A Administrator shall, by rule, determine that quantity of any other fuel which is the equivalent of one gallon of gasoline. " (3) Testing and calculation procedures applicable to a model year, and any amendment to such procedures (other than a technical or clerical amendment), shall be promulgated not less than 12 months prior to the model year to which such procedures apply. "(e) For purposes of this part (other than section 506), any measurement of fuel economy of a model type, and any calculation of average fuel economy of a manufacturer, shall be rounded off to the nearest one-tenth mile per gallon (in accordance with rules of the E P A Administrator). "(f) The E P A Administrator shall consult and coordinate with the Secretary in carrying out his duties under this section.
