Rail and locomotive companies may own or operate a variety of vehicles which commonly have rubber tires, such as track maintenance equipment, allowing them to be used off of the rail. If these vehicles are not already covered by the cargo handling equipment regulation, they are subject to the in-use off-road diesel vehicle regulation. Among other things, the regulation requires that off-road diesel vehicles be reported to ARB and labeled, beginning April 1, 2009. The regulation also introduces emission performance standards as early as March 1, 2010, for large fleets. ARB has released the following guide to assist fleets when determining whether their rail equipment/vehicles are included in the off-road diesel regulation: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/faq/faqrail.pdf For those with affected vehicles, please review our outreach materials, or contact ARB staff, to ensure you are aware of the emissions requirements and the reporting requirements for off-road diesel vehicles. For additional information on the regulation, please visit the off-road Knowledge Center webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/knowcenter.htm.

In December 2008, staff released a draft “Technical Options to Achieve Additional Emissions and Risk Reductions from California Locomotives and Railyards” document (Technical Options Document) which provided a technical assessment of 37 options that could provide further locomotive and railyard emissions reductions. The options were evaluated based on their ability to provide potential emissions reductions beyond existing U.S. EPA and ARB regulations and agreements. The 37 options were evaluated based on the following criteria: technical feasibility, potential emissions reductions, costs, and cost-effectiveness. Since December 2008, staff has incorporated public comments and provided updated information to be released in this revised Technical Options Document. Staff also acknowledges that the data used in this report represents a snapshot in time. Elements such as locomotive fleet composition data are fluid and are influenced by many factors. In addition, other data used to evaluate technological feasibility, potential emission reductions, and costs are also fluid and subject to change. The staff expects to provide updates as technology developments and demonstration project results warrant. Contact Information If you have questions about the Technical Options Document, please call Mr. Mike Jaczola, Staff Air Pollution Specialist, Engineering Evaluation Section at (916) 327-5607 or email: mjaczola@arb.ca.gov or Mr. Harold Holmes, Manager, Engineering Evaluation Section, at (916) 324-8029 or e-mail: hholmes@arb.ca.gov You are receiving this single arbcombo email because you are a subscriber to or have made a public comment to one or more of the following lists: ej, loco, railyard. ====================================================================== You are subscribed to one of the lists aggregated to make this particular ARB combination listserve broadcast.
