As an off road motorcycle enthusiast, and member of the OHV user
community, I am deeply concerned about the potential negative
impacts of the proposed regulation order for Off-Highway
Recreational Vehicles (OHRV): Evaporative Emission Control, Title
13, California Code of Regulations (Order). As you know, OHRV
refers to off-road motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, off-road
sport vehicles, off-road utility vehicles, and sand cars. The Order
will impact the production of said vehicles starting in 2018. 
I just became aware of the Order two days ago after receiving a
call from a concerned member of the OHV community. Due to a large
number of other OHV-related projects on my desk and the late
notice, I will not be able to produce a detailed analysis of the
Order for the July 24 comment period deadline nor attend the July
25 hearing. 
Since this proposed Order could have a significant impact on OHV
recreation and related businesses, I contacted the California State
Park Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division (Division) after
learning about the proposed Order to see if they had given any
input into the proposal. Division stated they just found out about
this proposed Order on Monday, July 15 and had not been consulted
by CARB, a sister agency. 

Here are my initial concerns about the proposed Order which are
hereby submitted in time to meet the July 24 public comment period
deadline:

1.	Impacts to Competition (Red Sticker) Off-Road Motorcycles 
2.	Impacts to “Red Sticker” Riding Seasons 
3.	Impacts to Competition Events Including Amateur Events 
4.	Drastic Increase in Cost of Production (all OHRVs) 
5.	Reduction or Elimination of Certain Lines of OHRVs/Loss of
Consumer Choice 
6.	Fiscal Impacts to OHRV Dealerships 
7.	Failure to Consult with Division 
8.	Fiscal Impact to Local Economies 
9.	Questionable Staff Analysis of Economic Impact to OHRV
Recreation 
10.	Questionable Staff Analysis of Environmental Benefit 
11.	Over Optimistic View of Future OHMVR Sale
