Background: In the 2007 State Implementation Plan, ARB committed
to developing a control measure to reduce emissions from in-use
self-propelled off-road mobile agricultural equipment and
currently plans to bring a proposal to the Board in 2013.  The
goal of a proposed strategy will be to reduce oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) and particulate matter (PM) from in-use off-road diesel
agricultural equipment.
