fuel-containers -- Portable Fuel Container Workshop Notice
Posted: 21 Apr 2015 14:44:47
The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public workshop to learn about updates to the ARB portable fuel container (PFC) regulation, certification procedure, and test procedures, including the use of 10 percent ethanol fuel to conduct certification testing. The proposed changes, which are expected to take effect in 2017, will promote harmonization with the U.S. EPA PFC regulation. The workshop will consist of a presentation by staff lasting approximately 30 minutes, followed by a question and answer session. The workshop will be held at the following location and time: Date: May 12, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Location: ARB, Monitoring and Laboratory Division 1927 13th Street, 1st Floor Conference Room Sacramento, California 95811 The workshop agenda, call-in details, and an electronic copy of the staff presentation will be posted by May 11 on ARB’s website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/consprod/fuel-containers/pfc/pfc.htm. Background: ARB’s portable fuel container regulation was adopted in 1999 and amended in 2005. Subsequent to the 2005 amendment, staff has identified the need to update the portable fuel container regulation to match certification fuel with commercially available pump fuel containing 10 percent ethanol; harmonize, where appropriate, with the U.S. EPA portable fuel container regulation; and clarify and streamline certification and test procedures.
