                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 88--CLEAN-FUEL VEHICLES--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart C--Clean-Fuel Fleet Program
 
Sec. 88.307-94  Exemption from temporal transportation control measures 
for CFFVs.

    (a) States with covered areas shall exempt any CFFV required by law 
to participate in the clean-fuel fleet program or any vehicle generating 
credits under Sec. 88.304-94(c) from transportation control measures 
(TCMs) existing wholly or partially for air quality reasons included in 
an approved state implementation plan which restrict vehicle usage based 
primarily on temporal considerations, such as time-of-day and day-of-
week exemptions. However, CFFVs shall not qualify for TCMs where the 
temporal element is secondary to some other control element

and, in no case, shall such exemptions apply if they create a clear and 
direct safety hazard. This exemption does not include access to high 
occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, except as provided in Sec. 88.313-93.
    (b) States shall also grant temporal TCM exemptions to qualifying 
CFFVs being operated after SIP approval, but prior to the effective date 
for commencement of a state's CFFV credit program.
    (c) Temporal TCM exemptions provided for in paragraph (a) of this 
section are not effective outside of the areas for which states can be 
required to establish CFFV credit programs.
    (1) Such exemptions shall remain effective only while the subject 
vehicle remains in compliance with applicable CFFV emissions standards 
and other CFFV credit program requirements.
    (2) CFFV TCM exemptions shall not be transferred between vehicles 
within the same fleet nor shall they be sold or traded.
