fuel-containers -- Portable Fuel Container Workshop Notice
Posted: 19 Apr 2016 07:45:53
The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public workshop to learn about proposed 15-Day Changes to the portable fuel container (PFC) amendments that were presented to the Board in February 2016. The proposed 15-Day Changes include additional revisions to the PFC certification process to better address the high rates of non-compliance with ARB’s diurnal emission standard, strengthen manufacturer recordkeeping and reporting, and improve overall document clarity. The workshop will include a presentation by staff lasting approximately 20 minutes, followed by a question and answer session. The workshop will be held at the following location and time: Date: May 17, 2016 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. PST Location: ARB, Monitoring and Laboratory Division 1927 13th Street, 1st Floor Conference Room Sacramento, California 95811 Background: ARB’s portable fuel container regulation was adopted in 1999 and amended in 2005. In February 2016, staff proposed additional amendments to address high rates of non-compliance with ARB’s diurnal emission standard; require the fuel used for PFC certification testing to contain 10 percent ethanol; align, where appropriate, aspects of ARB’s certification and test procedures with those of U.S. EPA; and clarify PFC certification and test procedures. Participants are encouraged to attend in person. An audio conference line will be set up to accommodate those who are unable to attend in person. The workshop agenda, call-in details, and an electronic copy of the staff presentation will be posted by May 16 on ARB’s website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/consprod/fuel-containers/pfc/pfc.htm.
