Posted: 03 Jul 2012 10:51:02
The Three Day Pass Exemption Form (Form 149) is now available to download. A Three Day Pass is a temporary permit that allows a fleet owner to operate one vehicle per calendar year in California that does not meet the emission reduction requirements of the Truck and Bus regulation. The form is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck For further information about reporting, training, or compliance tools, please visit our website at www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck, or call 866 6DIESEL (866 634-3735), or email us at 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov. Background On December 11, 2008, the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board)approved for adoption the Truck and Bus regulation to control emissions from nearly all existing diesel powered heavy-duty trucks and buses operating in California. The regulation became effective under California law on January 8, 2010. On December 17, 2010, the staff recommended amendments to the regulation that were subsequently adopted by the Board on September 19, 2011. The Office of Administrative Law approved the amendments on December 14, 2011 and the regulation became effective on the same day. The amended Truck and Bus Regulation delays the initial requirement to phase-in installation of PM filters by one year to January 1, 2012 and extends the time before a vehicle equipped with a PM filter would have to have an engine that meets 2010 model year emission standards. The amendments also defer initial engine replacements for older vehicles without PM filters for two years until January 1, 2015 at the earliest. Prior to 2020, replacements are limited only to 20 year old or older trucks that are not equipped with PM filters. By January 1, 2023, most vehicles will need to be equipped with an engine meeting 2010 model year emission standards.
