Posted: 23 Nov 2010 10:15:16
ARB invites you to participate in a public meeting on December 8, 2010 to discuss proposed changes to the Carl Moyer Program. The focus of this public meeting will be to consider proposed changes to off-road funding options in the Carl Moyer Program, specifically the Off-Road Equipment Replacement Program. The proposed changes include: • simplifying the method to determine maximum equipment replacement grants; • simplifying the usage documentation requirements; • clarifying the criteria for replacement equipment; and • eliminating advance approval of district equipment replacement plans; A full description of the proposed changes is provided in Mail-Out MSC 10-52, located at this link: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1052/msc1052.pdf The meeting will be held at the following time and place: DATE: Wednesday, December 8, 2010 TIME: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board 7th Floor, Room 720 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 State law (Health & Safety Code Section 44287) authorizes ARB to revise the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines (Guidelines) when necessary to improve the ability of the program to achieve its goals. When considering proposed revisions to the Guidelines, this section also instructs ARB to work with the implementing air districts and hold at least one public meeting to consider public comments. This meeting will also include a teleconference call-in number for those who wish to participate by phone. The call-in number is 866-917-4579 and the passcode is 7167787. For the convenience of stakeholders, this meeting will be combined with a public meeting to discuss proposed changes to the on-road components of the Carl Moyer Program described in Mail-Out #MSC 10-50. Combining these items into one public meeting will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to comment on proposed changes to both the on-road and off-road elements of the Carl Moyer Program at one time. If you have any questions or comments on the proposed changes, please contact Rhonda Runyon at 626-350-6551 or rrunyon@arb.ca.gov . Comments on the proposed changes must be received no later than January 6, 2011, which is 45 days after the Mail-Out date. BACKGROUND: Since 1998, the Carl Moyer Program has filled a critical niche in California’s strategy to achieve clean air. The Carl Moyer Program provides grant funding for the incremental cost of cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and emission reduction technologies. The Carl Moyer Program complements California’s regulatory program by funding emission reductions that are surplus (i.e., early and/or in excess of what is required by regulation). State law authorizes the Air Resources Board to revise the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines when necessary to improve the ability of the program to achieve its goals.
