Ladies and Gentlemen,

          I am in favor of the new rule for emissions from In-Use
Off-Road Diesel Vehicles that is intended to reduce air pollution
from California's construction equipment.  I have asthma, and I am
very sensitive to diesel engine exhaust.  So, I would definitely
like to see diesel engine emissions more closely controlled by the
Air Resources Board.

          I understand that scientists project that the new rule
will save thousands of lives annually, reduce public and private
expenditures for health care, help bring the Los
Angeles/Long Beach air basin and the San Joaquin Valley air basin
closer to compliance with federal air quality standards; and, when
fully implemented, prevent 48 tons per day of NOx and 5 tons per
day of particulate air pollution by about 2020.

          Thank you for this opportunity to comment
