A phone number has been added to facilitate the participation of
international callers in the meeting. 

The Small Off-Road Engine Working Group will hold its first
meeting via conference call at 11:00 AM PDT on September 2,
2015.
The purpose of the Working Group is to discuss emissions
mitigation opportunities related to small off-road engines
(SORE).  During the first meeting, the working group will discuss
the results of the model year 2013 SORE evaporative emissions
Validation Study and ARB’s and industry’s responses to those
results.  The working group will convene approximately every
three months, or more frequently if needed, with the goal of
improving SORE equipment emissions performance.  Other issues
related to SORE will be discussed as necessary.

To participate in the meeting on September 2, 2015, use one of
the following phone numbers and participate passcode:

Background:  California Code of Regulations, title 13, section
2754.2, requires the SORE Validation Study in order to provide
the Executive Officer with data to determine whether the
performance-based and design-based certification options for SORE
are achieving ARB’s overall emission reduction goals.  Results
from the model year 2013 SORE Validation Study and ongoing ARB
emissions testing of SORE equipment indicate the opportunity
exists for a collaborative effort between ARB and industry
stakeholders to mitigate emissions from SORE.
