Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Amendments to the Exhaust Emission Standards for 2007-2009 Model-Year Heavy-Duty Urban Bus Engines and the Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies  
  The Air Resources Board will conduct a continuation of a public hearing to consider adoption of
amendments to the statewide exhaust emission standards and test procedures for urban bus engines and vehicles and to the ARB fleet rule for transit agencies. These amendments, along with specific changes in the Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies addressing transit vehicles in the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), were described in the Notice for the September 15, 2005 rulemaking hearing. At the September 15, 2005 hearing, only those amendments affecting just the SCAQMD transit fleet were heard by the Board.

Public Hearing to Consider Truck Idling Emission Reduction Requirements  
  The Board will consider the adoption of idling emission reduction requirements for new 2008 and subsequent model-year heavy-duty diesel engines and trucks and amendments to the airborne toxic control measure to limit engine-idling by the existing fleet of in-use heavy-duty trucks.  
  More Information Staff Presentation   
     
     

05-10-4

Public Meeting to Consider Proposed Suggested Control Measure for Automotive Refinish Coatings  
  The proposed Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Automotive Refinish Coatings would improve enforceability, increase consistency among districts, and achieve significant emission reductions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from the use of automotive refinish coatings. The proposed SCM simplifies coating categories and it lowers VOC limits for coatings and solvents. The proposed SCM also establishes a prohibition of possession of non-complying coatings, which would aid in enforcement of the VOC limits.

OPEN SESSION TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ON SUBJECT MATTERS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD

Although no formal Board action may be taken, the Board is allowing an opportunity to interested members of the public to address the Board on items of interest that are within the Board's jurisdiction, but that do not specifically appear on the agenda. Each person will be allowed a maximum of five minutes to ensure that everyone has a chance to speak.


At 8:30, it is expected that Board Members will be given the opportunity to ride in an AC transit fuel cell bus from a location next to the building at which the hearing will be conducted.
