ordiesel -- Off-Road Regulation Update
Posted: 15 Dec 2009 16:53:59
This notice is to inform fleets that all of the provisions of The Air Resources Board’s (ARB) In-Use Off-road Diesel Vehicle Regulation (off-road regulation), including the March 1, 2010, compliance requirements for large fleets, are unchanged and remain in effect. ARB held a public meeting on December 9, 2009, to receive an update on implementation of the Truck and Bus Rule and to hear a brief update regarding economic indicators related to the off-road regulation. The Board directed its staff to return in April 2010 with a new provision for the Truck and Bus Rule that would provide truck fleets more flexibility in cleaning up their diesel emissions. The Board also directed staff to report back at the same time with a further assessment of off-road vehicle emissions, and an evaluation of a projection of off-road vehicle emissions that was prepared by the Associated General Contractors. The Board’s action does not affect the implementation of the In-Use Off-road Diesel Vehicle Regulation. The off-road regulation required reporting of all off-road diesel vehicles by August 1, 2009. Fleets that did not report by the deadline should do so as soon as possible. Although the deadlines for all fleets are past, ARB has extended an informal grace period so that fleets may report their vehicles late without penalty. Fleets that self-report will not face enforcement action if they report all of their vehicles prior to January 1, 2010 (for large and medium fleets) and March 1, 2010 (for small fleets). For further information, please see our updated Reporting Enforcement Advisory at http://www.arb.ca.gov/enf/advs/advs394.pdf For further information on off-road regulation requirements, please visit the knowledge center for the off-road regulation at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/knowcenter.htm which is now equipped with a convenient search feature.
