fuel-containers -- Notice of Public Availability of Modified Text - Amendments to the Portable Fuel Container Regulation

Posted: 15 Aug 2016 14:51:45
The California Air Resources Board has posted the 15-day Notice
of Public Availability of Modified Text for the Portable Fuel
Container Regulation. 

At its February 18, 2016 public hearing, the Air Resources Board
(ARB or Board) approved for adoption the proposed amendments to
sections 2467, 2467.1, 2467.2, 2467.3, 2467.4, 2467.5, 2467.6,
2467.8, and 2467.9; and repeal of section 2467.7, title 13
California Code of Regulations, which strengthened ARB’s current
portable fuel container (PFC) certification process, required
certification fuel to contain 10 percent ethanol, aligned aspects
of ARB’s PFC certification and test procedures with those of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), and
streamlined, clarified, and improved the readability of ARB’s
certification and test procedures.  CP 501 “Certification
Procedure for Portable Fuel Containers and Spill-Proof Spouts”;
TP 501 “Test Procedure for Determining Integrity of Spill-Proof
Spouts and Spill-Proof Systems”; and TP 502 “Test Procedure for
Determining Diurnal Emissions from Portable Fuel Containers” were
also approved for adoption.

The Board directed the Executive Officer to determine whether
additional conforming modifications to the regulation were
appropriate and to make any proposed modified regulatory language
available for public comment, with any additional supporting
documents and information, for a period of at least 15 days as
required by Government Code section 11346.8.  The Board further
directed the Executive Officer to consider written comments
submitted during the public review period and make any further
modifications that are appropriate available for public comment
for at least 15 days, and present the regulation to the Board for
further consideration if warranted, or take final action to adopt
the regulation after addressing all appropriate modifications.
 
The resolution and all other regulatory documents for this
rulemaking are available online at the following ARB website:
