In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Rule

Date

Description

Details

ARB will host a training seminar in Sacramento on February 10, 2010, from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. This training seminar will focus primarily on the 2010 requirements for large fleets, how to apply the new credits for reduced horsepower and reduced activity, and how to report these actions in the online reporting system. The seminar will also provide an overview and examples of how to retrofit vehicles without creating visibility impairment, or how to request an exemption from the 2010 retrofit requirements where this is not possible.

(Note: This seminar will be webcast. You may find more information on the webcast at the EPA webcast homepage.)

The staff of the Air Resources Board invites all interested parties to participate in a set of public workshops to discuss how to implement recent legislatively directed changes to the Regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Vehicle Fleets.

The workshops will be held in two locations, on April 7, 2009, in Sacramento, and on April 29, 2009, in Diamond Bar. Please note that due to the valuable input provided by stakeholders at the first workshop on the legislatively driven changes to the off-road diesel regulation held in Sacramento on April 7, 2009, staff will present some revised proposals at the workshop on April 29, 2009, in Diamond Bar. A revised presentation will be posted as soon as possible.
(Note: Both workshops will be webcast. You may find more information on the webcast at the EPA webcast homepage.)

To assist fleet owners with their compliance efforts, ARB staff is conducting a third round of statewide training seminars on the off-road regulation. These six training seminars will provide an in depth presentation of the regulation and how to comply, a discussion of record keeping and vehicle labeling requirements, a review of exhaust retrofit products available, and information about grant opportunities. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to speak one-on-one with providers of exhaust retrofit devices. Following the general training session fleet owners will have the opportunity to meet with an ARB staff member and obtain training on the Diesel Off-Road On-Line Reporting System (DOORS). During these individual trainings staff will be available to show fleets how to enter their data into the DOORS system. These individual trainings are by appointment only and limited to 30 minutes.
(Note: The training seminar in Sacramento on December 22, 2008, will be webcast. You may find more information on the webcast at the EPA webcast homepage.)

The staff of the Air Resources Board invites all interested parties to a workshop to discuss minor modifications and clarifications to California’s Regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets (title 13, California Code of Regulations (CCR), sections 2449, 2449.1, 2449.2 and 2449.3). These modifications include, among other things, an extension of the early double credit deadline for the installation of verified diesel emission control strategies (VDECS).
