onrdiesel -- Truck and Bus Regulation Email Correction
Posted: 12 Dec 2009 17:18:49
The note emailed on Thursday, December 10, 2009 misstated the early reporting date for the Truck and Bus regulation. The first reporting deadline will be in a few months from now on March 31, 2010. Fleets that need to report by March 31, 2010 include the following: · fleets with qualifying agricultural vehicles · fleets that plan to take advantage of the vehicle retirement credits · fleets that install PM filters before January 1, 2010 · fleets with two engine sweepers The first clean-up deadline in the regulation is January 1, 2011. Fleets that take advantage of the flexibility provisions to comply with the regulation must report by January 31, 2011. There has also been some confusion on whether the Truck and Bus regulation has been amended or delayed. The regulation is in full effect and has not been delayed or postponed in any way. However, on December 9, 2009 staff provided an informational update to the Board and the Board asked staff to bring back proposed amendments to the Truck and Bus Regulation that would provide additional flexibility primarily for smaller fleets that are adversely affected by the economy. Staff is now preparing its analysis and will hold public workshops in early 2010 to obtain stakeholder input on proposed changes. Staff plan to publish a Staff Report in time for the amendments to be formally considered at the April 22, 2010 Board Hearing. No changes can take effect until the Board formally amends the regulation. For more information about the regulation and existing requirements, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck .
