The workshop will be held in three locations as indicated below; each workshop will cover the same topics. FRESNO Workshop: February 19, 2013 SACRAMENTO Workshop: February 25, 2013 (also webcast) LOS ANGELES Workshop: February 27, 2013 Further information on the investment of the State portion of the auction proceeds, including the detailed notice for these workshops is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/auctionproceeds.htm La versión en español del aviso del taller esta disponible aquí http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/workshops/notice_1_31_spanish.pdf If you would like to receive notices of future meetings and the availability of materials, please sign up for our list serve at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/listserv/listserv_ind.php?listname=auctionproceeds ACCOMODATION: If you require a special accommodation or need this document in an alternate format (i.e. Braille, large print) or another language, please contact Ms. Heather Jackson at (916) 322-8267 or hbjackso@arb.ca.gov as soon as possible, but no later than 10 business days before the scheduled meeting. TTY/TDD/Speech to Speech users may dial 711 for the California Relay Service. BACKGROUND: Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires California to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020. As part of this effort, the Air Resources Board (ARB) has developed a Cap-and-Trade program that limits statewide emissions from sources responsible for 85 percent of greenhouse gases and creates a financial incentive for clean and efficient technologies. Under the program, a portion of the allowances required for compliance are auctioned. The State portion of the proceeds from these auctions will be used to fund projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with State law. In September 2012, the Legislature passed and Governor Brown signed into law two bills – AB 1532 (Pérez, Chapter 807) and Senate Bill (SB) 535 (De León, Chapter 830) – that together establish a framework for developing an investment plan for projects and programs to be funded with Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds. SB 535 further requires that 25 percent of the proceeds that will be expended benefit disadvantaged communities and at least 10 percent of the proceeds expended be invested in projects located within those communities. The Department of Finance (Finance), in consultation with the ARB and other state entities, will develop and submit to the Legislature a three-year investment plan for the auction proceeds. The investment plan will identify the State’s greenhouse gas reduction goals and priority programs for investment of proceeds to support achievement of those goals. Funding will be appropriated to State agencies by the Legislature and Governor through the annual Budget Act, consistent with the plan.

At this workshop, staff will be soliciting input on the following proposals: •Adopting a new regulation to harmonize with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) adopted in 2011; •Making amendments to ARB’s existing Heavy-Duty Vehicle GHG Emission Reduction Regulation (Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation) to align with the proposed new regulation above; •Adopting a new set of optional oxides of nitrogen (NOx) standards for heavy-duty vehicle engines more stringent than the current 2010 model year standard; and •Making amendments to the Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) to Limit Diesel-fueled Commercial Motor Vehicle Idling to expand compliance responsibility. The workshop is described further in the workshop notice at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1305/msc1305.pdf and will be held at the following time and location: Date: Monday, March 11, 2013 Time: 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Location: Air Resources Board Coastal Hearing Room 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Directions are at http://www.arb.ca.gov/maps/sactomap.htm Background: In September 2011, the U.S. EPA adopted a new regulation for controlling GHG emissions from new medium and heavy-duty engines and vehicles. ARB staff is proposing to align with the federal regulation in order to provide California with the ability to certify engines and vehicles to the new standards as well as enforce them. On December 11, 2008, the Board approved the Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation codified in sections 95300-95312 of title 17, California Code of Regulations, and later amended it on December 17, 2010. This regulation reduces GHG emissions from long-haul tractor-trailer combinations by requiring them to utilize U.S. EPA SmartWay verified or designated technologies that will improve fuel efficiency. To harmonize the tractor requirements of the federal and California regulations, ARB staff is considering modifications to its Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation. ARB staff will be proposing optional NOx emission standards for California certified 2015 and later model year engines. If the optional standards are adopted, ARB’s existing incentive programs such as the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment program could be modified to give preference to engines certified to the optional standards. On July 22, 2004, ARB adopted an ATCM to Limit Diesel-fueled Commercial Motor Vehicle Idling. This regulation is codified in section 2485 of title 13, California Code of Regulations, and was later amended on October 20, 2005 and December 11, 2008. ARB staff is proposing to extend responsibility for complying with the requirements of the idling ATCM to the owner of the vehicle. In addition, staff’s proposal would require California-based shippers and California-based brokers to share responsibility for compliance with the idling restrictions in the event that they utilized the services of motor carriers that violated the regulation and/or they did not settle their outstanding fines. For specific questions regarding the new heavy duty engine and vehicle GHG regulation and the optional engine NOx standard, you may contact Ms. Kim Heroy-Rogalski, Manager of the Off-Road Implementation Section, by email at kheroyro@arb.ca.gov or by phone at (916) 327 2200. For questions regarding the in-use tractor-trailer GHG regulation amendments and the anti-idling ATCM amendments, you may contact Mr. Stephan Lemieux, Manager of the On-Road Heavy Duty Diesel Section, by email at slemieux@arb.ca.gov or by phone at (626) 450-6162.

Criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions from freight movement related mobile sources are significant contributors to California’s air quality and climate change challenges. Meeting federal ambient air quality standards and California’s climate change goals will require technology transformation on all levels. As such, innovative freight technologies development, demonstration and deployment must be accelerated over the next several years to meet both its air quality and climate change goals. This symposium will include freight technology industry experts to stimulate an open and frank discussion of opportunities, challenges, and implementation timelines for promising zero- and near-zero emission technologies in the following vehicle and equipment categories: • On-Road Trucks and Yard Hostlers • Line-Haul Freight Locomotives • Cargo and Other On-Port Vehicles and Equipment • Marine Vessels and Aviation Where: South Coast Air Quality Management District Headquarters 21865 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765 When: April 10 – 11, 2013 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Transitioning to Zero-Emission Freight Technologies Symposium will be open to the public and free of charge. An agenda for the symposium will be available shortly and posted at the following websites: www.aqmd.gov, www.valleyair.org, and www.arb.ca.gov.

Basic requirements are: ­75% operation within California for the past 2 years ­Move goods as part of a sales transaction ­Commit to at least 50% travel within the four California trade corridors ­Drayage trucks (including dray-off trucks) are not eligible •Small fleets (1 to 3 trucks) will be given priority.
