The Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Requirements Regulation
(LSI Regulation) requires specific equipment be initially
reported to the California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) by
June 30, 2017 and labeled by July 30, 2017.  The LSI forklift and
non-forklift equipment types subject to the upcoming reporting
and labeling requirements include the following types of
equipment used to comply with the Fleet Average Emission Limits
(FAEL) of the LSI Regulation: 

•Forklifts in class 1, 2, 4, and 5, including electric; and 

•Non-forklift industrial tow tractors, sweepers/scrubbers, and
airport ground support equipment, including electric. 


Fleets with up to three forklifts and/or up to three
non-forklifts are exempt from the regulation but can voluntarily
report and label their LSI equipment.  Once LSI equipment has
been reported in DOORS an Equipment Identification Number (EIN)
will be issued. Fleets must label their equipment with the EIN. 

The LSI Regulation reporting user guides, importing equipment
guides, the amended regulation language, and other useful LSI
regulation information are available at
https://www.arb.ca.gov/lsi 

CARB utilizes an on-line reporting tool (DOORS). DOORS allows
fleets to easily complete the initial reporting required by the
Board approved July 2016 amendments to the LSI Regulation. CARB
strongly encourages fleets to begin the reporting process early
to ensure that there is sufficient time to label equipment.

Background 	

The LSI Fleet Regulation applies to operators of forklifts,
sweeper/scrubbers, industrial tow tractors, and airport GSE. 
These vehicles are found in approximately 2,000 LSI fleets in
California in industries as diverse as manufacturing, wholesale,
transportation and utilities, retail, services, and construction,
as well as public agencies.  The 2006 LSI rulemaking and 2010
amendments required operators of in-use fleets to achieve
specific oxides of nitrogen + hydrocarbon FAEL standards that
became more stringent over time, the lowest FAEL for fleets was
to be achieved in 2013. 

The standards are also more stringent for forklifts than they are
for non-forklift LSI equipment. Small fleets and in-field
equipment are exempt from the LSI Fleet Regulation. In July 2016,
CARB approved amendments to the LSI Fleet Regulation. These
amendments require operators to: 

•Submit an initial report by June 30, 2017, and then annually
thereafter; 

•Label all affected equipment with an ARB issued EIN; and 

•Continue recordkeeping as they have been required to do pursuant
to the existing regulation. 

The existing performance requirements, including FAEL standards,
were not modified by the amendments and continue to remain in
effect. The amendments will improve enforcement effectiveness and
compliance rates of the LSI Fleet Regulation when they take
effect, and provide CARB staff with the necessary data to inform
a future control measure for accelerating deployment of zero
emission technology in the LSI sector.
