tru -- ARB Revises Financing Options for TRU ATCM Compliance

Posted: 19 Aug 2009 10:20:14
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has revised the
Financing Options list on the transport refrigeration unit (TRU)
compliance assistance document titled “Funding Opportunities for
TRU ATCM Compliance”. The revised document is posted at the TRU
Website at:  http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm.  

Look for this document under the “Compliance Assistance
Contacts” heading.

The new Financing Options list includes information about the
California Capital Access Program (CalCAP) that is implemented
under the California Pollution Control Financing Authority.  This
is a small business loan program.

Enforcement of Registration Requirement Underway

ARB’s Enforcement Division has started inspections statewide to
enforce the registration requirements of the TRU Airborne Toxic
Control Measure (ATCM).  All California-based TRUs are now
required to be registered in the ARB Equipment Registration
(ARBER) database.  The registration deadline was July 31, 2009. 
There is no registration fee.  If you missed that date, please
expedite your submittals to avoid penalties.  Any unregistered
California-based TRUs found by enforcement staff will be issued
citations, subject to a fine of up to $500 for first time
violators, and required to register within 30 days.  If
inspectors find a high noncompliance rate with a particular
fleet, they will follow-up with a comprehensive fleet-wide audit
and check for compliance for all applicable ARB programs.  These
audits will also include accuracy checks on the registration
information submitted to the ARBER database.

TRU Advisory 08-06-R4 explains how to register a TRU; this
includes what information is needed, where to find the
information, and how to submit the information to ARB.  TRU
Advisories are at:

In-Use Performance Standard Enforcement Begins January 2010

In January 2010, ARB Enforcement Division staff will start field
inspections of the TRU “In-Use Performance Standards” to make
certain they are compliant with applicable engine emissions
standards through the use of TRUs that are less then seven years
old, new engine repowers, or engine exhaust retrofits. 
Violations of these “hardware” requirements will carry a fine of
up to $1000 for first time violators.  ARB strongly recommends
that TRU owners take the necessary steps now to bring TRUs into
compliance before the end of the year.
