cargo -- Office of Administrative Law Approves Cargo Handling Equipment Amendments
Posted: 18 Sep 2012 10:24:21
The Office of Administrative Law has approved the Amendments to the Cargo Handling Equipment Regulation. The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) has approved the Amendments to the Regulation for Mobile Cargo Handling Equipment at Ports and Intermodal Rail Yards (section 2479 of title 13, California Code of Regulations). OAL approved the rulemaking and filed it with the Secretary of State on September 14, 2012. The amendments to the regulation will become effective on October 14, 2012. The final text of the regulation is available on our regulatory website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2011/cargo11/cargo11.htm Cargo handling equipment is used to transfer goods or perform maintenance and repair activities and includes equipment such as yard trucks (hostlers), rubber-tired gantry cranes, top handlers, side handlers, forklifts, and loaders, just to name a few. The Regulation for Mobile Cargo Handling Equipment at Ports and Intermodal Rail Yards was adopted in December 2005 (and amended in September 2011) to reduce diesel particulate matter in communities located near ports and intermodal rail yards.
