INTRODUCTION
|
| This page was developed to provide interested
parties with information about multimedia evaluations that are
conducted in response to ARB' s changes in motor vehicle fuel
specifications or the verification of alternative diesel fuels. |
|
BACKGROUND
|
| Health and Safety Code Section 43830.8 requires
that the state board (ARB) may not adopt any regulation that
establishes a specification for motor vehicle fuel unless that
regulation, and a multimedia evaluation conducted by affected agencies
and coordinated by the state board, are reviewed by the
California Environmental Policy Council established pursuant to
subdivision (b) of Section 71017 of the Public Resources Code. The
evaluation shall be based on the best available scientific data,
written comments submitted by any interested person, and information
collected by the state board. The state board shall prepare a written
summary of the multimedia evaluation, and shall submit the summary for
external scientific peer review, in accordance with Section 57004. |
| The California Air Resources Board works with
federal, state, and local agencies and affected parties
to prepare multimedia evaluations regarding any changes in
motor vehicle fuel specifications or certifications for alternative
diesel fuels. |
|
CONTACT INFORMATION
|
| If you have any questions about the multimedia
evaluations, please contact: California Air Resources Board, at (916)
