arbcombo -- AB 32 Cool Cars – Draft 15 Day Changes
Posted: 16 Dec 2009 10:02:27
The Air Resources Board has released a draft of the 15-Day changes for the Cool Cars regulation adopted in June 2009. Comments on this draft will go directly to staff and as such will not be part of the public record and may include confidential information. The draft can be found under the heading "Highlights" on the Cool Cars webpage, www.arb.ca.gov/cc/cool-cars/cool-cars.htm. Please email comments to Marijke Bekken, Lead Staff, at mbekken@arb.ca.gov, with a copy to Sharon Lemieux, Manager, Emission Research Section, at sclemieu@arb.ca.gov. We request that comments be submitted by January 11, 2010. While we have built in some additional review time for holiday schedules, if you feel additional time is necessary, please contact Ms. Lemieux by phone at (626) 575-7067 or Dr. Bekken by phone at (775) 762-1771. Alternatively, you may contact them at the email addresses listed above. Because this is a draft, we have not issued a Notice explaining all the changes that are proposed. The Notice accompanying the official release will include specific discussion on each non-editorial change made, as well as the updates to the emissions model and benefits calculations. There are two types of changes seen in this draft 15-Day document. First, modifications were made to the phase-in rates and reduction goals as adopted by the Board, and necessary changes to the language to accommodate those modifications. Second, the changes staff proposed to the Board at the hearing have been included. Among these were labeling language, a replacement of the "referenced to 4 mm" language to accommodate the performance of thinner glazing, an equivalency option for windshields that use a technology that does not require deletion windows to accommodate electromagnetic signals, and the specific inclusion of secondary manufacturers. Other modifications were made to clarify the intent and applicability of the regulatory requirements.
