Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2013 08:40:52 -0800 Subject: hybridtruck -- Invitation to February and March 2013 Working Group conference calls for heavy-duty hybrid vehicle certification procedures amendments From: mmagtoto@arb.ca.gov The California Air Resources Board (ARB) staff invites you to participate in two working group conference call meetings to discuss concepts related to amendments to California’s Interim Certification Procedures for 2004 and Subsequent Model Hybrid-Electric Vehicles in the Urban Bus and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Classes. The conference call meetings will be held at: 10:00 AM Pacific on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, and at 10:00 AM Pacific on Tuesday, March 19, 2013. The meetings will be conducted via telephone only, and can be accessed by calling: Telephone number within the U. S.: 888-324-7176 Telephone number outside the U. S.: 1-210-234-0032 Passcode: 9847855 Detailed agendas and discussion documents will be posted in advance of the meetings at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroadhd/hdhev/hdhevtesting/hdhevtesting.htm Background: ARB’s current procedures for manufacturers seeking voluntary vehicle certification for heavy-duty hybrid-electric vehicles were approved in 2002. ARB staff is evaluating the current certification procedure and plans to propose amendments for the Board's consideration in late 2013. These amendments will focus on the chassis dynamometer testing portion of the overall certification process, with the goal of ensuring the revised test procedures better-apply to a wide range of vehicle types and vocations, and account for greenhouse gases in addition to criteria pollutants. For questions about the workgroup conference calls, or the proposed amendment process, please contact Jessica Johnson at jmjohnso@arb.ca.gov or (916) 322-8748. ====================================================================== You are subscribed to the hybridtruck mailing list.

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.
