omb -- Truck and Bus Regulation Reporting System Update for 2015 Compliance Year
Posted: 31 Dec 2014 08:54:56
The Truck and Bus regulation reporting system and the Online Reporting Guide has been updated to include 2015 compliance requirements and options. January 1 of every compliance year, fleet owners that use flexibility options in the regulation must identify which vehicles will use a particular extension and provide any additional information required. We encourage fleets to report early, before the January 31, 2015 reporting deadline. The Online User Guide is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/documents/reportingguide.pdf Who Needs to Report for 2015? • Vehicle owners that have already reported must update vehicle and owner information as it changes. • Fleets that want to continue using a flexibility option or wish to newly claim a flexibility option must report by January 31, 2015. • All owner using mileage-based extensions must report the vehicle’s January 1st odometer reading by January 31, 2015.

Background The regulation requires diesel truck and bus owners to take steps to reduce their engine emissions. The regulation is a part of the State's plan to meet federal ambient air quality standards and to protect public health, particularly near roadways and distribution centers where exposure frequently reaches unhealthy levels. Nearly all trucks and buses with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating greater than 14,000 pounds that operate in California are required to be upgraded from 2012 to 2023 to reduce exhaust emissions. Most heavier trucks and buses (with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 26,000 pounds) are required to have a particulate matter filter by January 1, 2014. There are certain exceptions to these requirements for owners that have reported to use flexibility options allowed under the regulation. These include, but are not limited to, certain agricultural and limited-use work trucks, low-use vehicles, and vehicles operated in certain rural areas. California is in a drought emergency.
