Rumors About the TRU Regulation – Fact or fiction?. 
Rumors - Fact or Fiction?
If you hear a rumor about the California Air Resources Board’s
(ARB) Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) regulation, please check
the TRU Website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm to verify
authenticity.  Also, be sure that you are signed up for the TRU
list serve so that you can stay informed on the latest news about
the TRU regulation.

Rumor #1:  An additional compliance extension has been
approved.
Truth #1:  This rumor is not true.  However, a six month grace
period is currently in effect until July 16, 2009, for meeting
the in-use performance standards.  For details, see TRU Advisory
08-15-R3 at the TRU Website at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm

Good Faith Compliance
If you have not already complied, ARB strongly recommends that
you place your emissions control technology orders as soon as
possible but by June 1, 2009, at the latest, to be considered for
good-faith compliance efforts in the event that there is a supply
bottleneck.  Verified retrofit emissions control systems and
parts, and replacement engines (new and remanufactured) are
currently in stock, with next-day shipping being quoted.  Stock
will run out soon and three-month delivery lead times are likely.
 ARB will begin enforcement after July 16, 2009.  Parties that
have not made good-faith effort to comply may be subject to
penalties.


Rumor #2:  If you register after the March 16, 2009,
registration deadline, ARB will automatically issue you a
citation with penalties.
Truth #2:  This rumor is not true.  ARB has no automatic
citation plan for those registering late.  If you missed the
registration deadline, please expedite your registration
application.  If a California-based TRU is inspected and does not
have an Identification Number affixed to both sides of the
housing, a citation could be issued.
