arbcombo -- Reminder: ARB Notice of Public Workshop To Discuss Proposed Amendments to The Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Regulation
Posted: 03 Jun 2015 14:10:05
Air Resources Board (ARB) staff invites you to participate in the first set of public workshops to discuss proposed amendments for the Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Requirements (LSI Fleet Regulation). The current LSI Fleet Regulation focuses on reducing emissions and keeping records for equipment types such as, most forklifts, sweepers/scrubbers, industrial tow tractors, and airport ground support equipment. In-field agricultural equipment are exempt. At the workshop, ARB staff will present initial near- and long-term concepts to amend the LSI Fleet Regulation. Near term, this includes aligning with the reporting and labeling requirements similar to the existing In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation to both better characterize the existing California LSI fleet, and to ensure compliance with the existing LSI regulation. Staff is also interested in hearing from affected stakeholders on alternatives to achieving these same objectives. Key elements of the near-term LSI Fleet Regulation amendments under consideration that will be discussed at these workshops include: •Propose reporting requirements for all LSI fleets •Propose equipment labeling requirements •Clarify regulatory language Zero emission technologies are commercially available, already in use in many LSI fleets, while other LSI equipment operate in duty cycles where zero emission technologies may be viable. Longer term, a combination of incentives and regulatory approaches are under consideration to expand the deployment of zero emission technologies in the off-road sector.
