Section 86.709-99 includes text that specifies requirements that differ from § 86.091-9 of subpart A of this part. Where a paragraph in § 86.091-9 is identical and applicable to § 86.709-99, this may be indicated by specifying the corresponding paragraph and the statement “[Reserved]. For guidance see § 86.091-9.” Where a corresponding paragraph of § 86.091-9 is not applicable, this is indicated by the statement “[Reserved].”
(a) (1) (A) Light light-duty trucks. In-use exhaust emissions from 1999 and later model year light light-duty trucks shall meet all standards in tables H99-1 and H99-2 in the rows designated with the applicable fuel type and loaded vehicle weight.

(A) Hydrocarbons: 220 ppm as hexane.
(B) Carbon monoxide: 1.2 percent.

The test weight basis for light light-duty trucks, for the purposes of determining equivalent test weight as prescribed in § 86.129-94, shall be loaded vehicle weight. The test weight basis for heavy light-duty trucks, for the purposes of determining equivalent test weight as prescribed in § 86.129-94, shall be adjusted loaded vehicle weight. The standard set forth in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section refers to the exhaust emitted at curb idle and measured and calculated in accordance with the procedures set forth in subpart P of this part.
(3) The standards set forth in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section refer to the exhaust emitted during the CST as set forth in subpart O of this part and measured and calculated in accordance with those provisions.
