The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has the only certification process for aftermarket parts currently recognized as sufficient under the CAA, but that process is faulty. &nbsp;Obtaining a CARB Executive Order certifying that a part does not increase vehicle emissions takes increasingly long \u2014 now well over a year \u2014 even when an applicant has all of the paperwork and testing in order. It is increasingly costly, and it effectively hands the determination of Federal compliance over to the State of California. &nbsp;Further, because it is the only currently available and accepted certification process, the certification of parts is bottlenecked at CARB, driving up costs and limiting the supply of compliant parts. To further ensure vehicle affordability, it is the policy of my Administration that consumers should be able to fix their vehicles with affordable parts without being deemed to have circumvented emissions controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sec.&nbsp;2<\/strong>. &nbsp;Expanding Emission Repair Options. &nbsp;The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shall provide guidance within 30 days of the date of this memorandum on the freedom to fix by clarifying what actions individuals may take on their own vehicles to conduct emission repairs or have emission repairs conducted, consistent with the CAA. &nbsp;Such guidance shall be limited to the matters specified in this memorandum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sec.&nbsp;3<\/strong>. &nbsp;Providing Assurances. &nbsp;To increase clarity for aftermarket-equipment manufacturers, prevent cheap foreign knock-offs, and reduce reliance on CARB\u2019s faulty and backlogged certification process, the Administrator of the EPA shall encourage the submission of, expeditiously consider, and act on any requests from organizations capable of testing aftermarket parts for conformance with the CAA.&nbsp; Where appropriate, the Administrator of the EPA shall provide assurances, while protecting manufacturers\u2019 intellectual property and confidential business information, that the proposed certification processes for aftermarket-emissions parts meet the requirements of the CAA and relevant EPA regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sec.&nbsp;4<\/strong>. &nbsp;Individual Freedom to Fix. &nbsp;The Administrator of the EPA shall consider deprioritizing civil tampering enforcement actions against anyone who, in good faith, attempts to fix his or her own vehicle to its original configuration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As summarized in this White House Press Release:<\/p>\n<p>Today, President Donald J.
