tru -- ARB publishes TRU Advisory 10-20 on 2010 Amendments
Posted: 23 Dec 2010 08:33:33
The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has posted TRU Advisory 10-20 on the TRU Website. The Board adopted amendments to the TRU Airborne Toxic Control Measure on November 18, 2010. TRU Advisory 10-20 explains what owners of model year 2003 transport refrigeration units (TRU) and TRU generator set owners need to do as a result of the 2010 amendments. Owners of TRUs and TRU generator sets equipped with model year 2003 engines should make compliance decisions NOW and order compliance technology AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so that compliance with either the ULETRU or LETRU in-use performance standard is achieved by March 31, 2011. Orders should be placed early, taking into consideration the delivery and installation lead times, which can be several weeks to several months. Owners of TRUs equipped with flexibility engines that were manufactured in 2005, but meet the 2003 emissions standards (i.e., Tier 1 engines), will not need to comply with the in-use standards by December 31, 2010. Instead, compliance will be required by December 31, 2012, seven years after the engine manufacture year. Owners of TRUs that are equipped with flexibility engines need to be registered in ARB’s Equipment Registration (ARBER) system so that compliance dates for these engines can be adjusted. TRU OEMs are providing flexibility engine manufacture dates to ARB. ARB will adjust the “Compliant Until” dates in ARBER. Updated registration certification pages will be mailed to the owners of ARBER-registered TRUs equipped with flexibility engines by the end of the year. More detailed information is provided in TRU Advisory 10-20, which is posted on the TRU Website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm. This advisory provides an example of a flexibility engine emissions control label to help owners determine if they have a flexibility engine. Instructions for registering TRUs and TRU gen sets in ARBER are provided at the TRU Website (see web address above) and at the ARBER help pages at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/arber/registration.htm Questions related to registration in the ARB’s Equipment Registration (ARBER) system can be emailed to arber@arb.ca.gov or called in to the TRU Help Line at: 1-888-878-2826. Questions related to the TRU ATCM or the 2010 amendments may be emailed to tru@arb.ca.gov or called in to the TRU Help Line at: 1-888-878-2826.
