tru -- US EPA Waiver Approved for TRU ATCM
Posted: 16 Jan 2009 10:14:45
US EPA grants ARB authorization to enforce the TRU ATCM. U.S. EPA grants California Air Resources Board (ARB) authorization to enforce the Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM). On January 9, 2009, U.S. EPA approved ARB’s request for authorization to enforce the TRU ATCM, also known as a waiver from preemption. This decision was published in the Federal Register on January 16, 2009 (see Federal Register, Vol. 74, No. 11, Friday January 16, 2009, Notices, pages 3030 – 3033). This decision affects not only persons in California, but also persons outside the State who would need to comply with California’s TRU ATCM regulations to enter California with TRU engines. Therefore, this action has national applicability. ARB has delayed the enforcement of the first phase of the TRU ATCM’s in-use performance standards for six months after this waiver approval. Therefore, the six-month enforcement grace period for TRU engine model years 2001 and older will end on July 16, 2009, and enforcement of the in-use performance standards for these model years will begin on July 17, 2009. Further compliance information is available at the TRU website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm. Call the TRU Helpline at 1-888-878-2826 (1-888-TRU-ATCM) for compliance assistance.
