96-3-1 Public Meeting to Update the Board on the Status of the California Cleaner Burning Gasoline (CaRFG) Regulation Implementation Efforts

On March 1, 1996 all refineries that intend to produce gasoline for sale in California began making cleaner burning gasoline. Since March 1, 1996, about 35 million gallons per day of cleaner burning gasoline have been entering the gasoline distribution system. This will be a status report on the transition to cleaner burning gasoline to date.

96-3-2 Public Hearing to Consider the Adoption of Permit Fee Regulations for Nonvehicular Sources Pursuant to the California Clean Air Act

The Air Resources Board will conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of a new section and amendments to an existing section of the California Code of Regulations which would require local air districts to collect permit fees from major nonvehicular sources of nonattainment pollutants and their precursors.

96-3-3 Public Meeting to Consider Approval of a Revision to the California State Implementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide

Ten areas in California are eligible for redesignation from nonattainment to attainment for the eight-hour national carbon monoxide standard. These are the urbanized areas of Bakersfield, Chico, Fresno, Lake Tahoe North Shore, Lake Tahoe South Shore, Modesto, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, and Stockton. All the legal requirements for redesignation have been met. The Air Resources Board has prepared a statewide submittal to U.S. EPA for the ten areas in an effort to streamline the redesignation process.

96-3-4 Public Meeting to Consider the Approval of Guidelines for the Generation of Mobile Source Emission Reduction Credits Through the Conversion of Off-Road Diesel Cycle Engines at or Above 50 Horsepower to Low-Emission Configurations

The guidelines are intended to provide the districts with guidance in establishing mobile source emission reduction credit programs for off-road diesel cycle engines which will be consistent with state and federal law. The guidelines are a continuation of the document entitled "Mobile Source Emission Reduction Credits- Guidelines for the Generation and Use of Mobile Source Emission Reduction Credits."
