Subject: ordiesel -- ARB Off-road Regulation March 1, 2012 Requirements
From: bho@arb.ca.gov

By March 1, 2012, large fleets (those with off-road vehicles
totaling over 5,000 horsepower and state and federal fleets) are
required to submit a Responsible Official Affirmation of
Reporting (ROAR) to ARB. The ROAR is a signed statement affirming
that the information reported is accurate.  Beginning in 2012 for
large fleets, 2016 for medium fleets, and 2018 for small fleets,
the off-road regulation requires fleets to annually update and
affirm their reporting information.  

In addition to the ROAR, the annual update must include reporting
of engine hour meter readings for low-use vehicles and vehicles
used for more than half their annual operating hours for
agricultural operations.  For more information on reporting
low-use vehicles, see the Low-Use Vehicles DOORS user guide at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/documents/doors/userguide-lowuse.pdf.
 The log for reporting hours for agricultural operations vehicles
is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/documents/doors/ag-hours-reporting-log.pdf
and within DOORS.

Also by March 1, 2012, nearly all on-road vehicles with two
diesel engines must be reported and are subject to the In-Use
Off-Road Diesel Vehicle regulation.  Further information
concerning this new requirement is at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/regadv/adv1202b.pdf.

Large fleets should read the guidance documents, and log into
your DOORS account and choose the buttons labeled "ROAR Forms" or
“Other Annual Reporting Forms” to report your information by
March 1.  FAQs, Guidance documents, and DOORS User Guides are
available in the Knowledge Center at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/knowcenter.htm.


Background

The Air Resources Board’s (ARB) regulation for In-Use Off-Road
Diesel Vehicles became effective under California law on June 15,
2008.  This regulation is intended to reduce harmful emissions
from diesel powered construction and mining vehicles operating in
California.  Fleets were required to initially report their
off-road diesel vehicles to ARB in 2009 via the Diesel Off-road
On-line Reporting System (DOORS).  In addition, fleet owners are
subject to restrictions on unnecessary idling and will be subject
to accelerated replacement/repower requirements.  In December
2011, major amendments to the Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation,
which include delaying the first compliance date to no earlier
than January 1, 2014, became effective.

If you have any questions regarding off-road reporting, please
contact the DOORS hotline at (877) 59-DOORS (877-593-6677) or by
email at doors@arb.ca.gov.  For further information on ARB’s
diesel vehicle and equipment regulations, please call the
California Air Resources Board Diesel Hotline at 866-6DIESEL
(866-634-3735).  For further information about the off-road
diesel vehicle regulation, please visit the off-road regulation

Subject: ordiesel -- New Labeling Requirements for Off-Road Vehicles
From: lwilliam@arb.ca.gov

This notice is a reminder of several new labeling requirements
for in-use off-road diesel vehicles. By January 1, 2013, BOTH
sides of all vehicles subject to the Off-Road Regulation must be
labeled with the equipment identification number (EIN). 
Additionally, the EIN labels on vehicles owned by captive
attainment area fleets must be changed to white on a green
background by January 1, 2013.  Because captive attainment area
fleets are potentially subject to lesser compliance requirements
than those fleets operating in surrounding areas, the labels on
vehicles owned by captive attainment area fleets must be changed
in order to differentiate them from other vehicles not eligible
for this provision.  Captive Attainment Area Fleets are fleets or
fleet portions in which all of the vehicles operate exclusively
within the following counties:  Alpine, Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn,
Humboldt, Lake, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Monterey, Plumas, San
Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Shasta,
Sierra, Siskiyou, Trinity, Tehama, Yuba, and the portion of
Sonoma County that lies within the boundaries of the North Coast
Air Basin.  Captive attainment area fleets are treated as small
fleets even if their total horsepower (hp) exceeds the small
fleet threshold of 2,500 hp.

Additional information regarding these new labeling requirements
is available in our regulatory advisory at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/regadv/adv1208.pdf. 

As a reminder, large fleets (those with affected vehicles
totaling over 5,000 horsepower and State/Federal fleets) were
required to submit information to comply with annual reporting
requirements by March 1, 2012.  To complete annual reporting,
each large fleet must submit a Responsible Official Affirmation
of Reporting (ROAR) and engine hour meter readings for vehicles
designated as low-use and/or agricultural (used most of the time,
but not exclusively, for agricultural purposes).  More
information regarding the annual reporting requirements is
available in our regulatory advisory at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/regadv/adv1202.pdf.

Subject: arbcombo -- May 24th Public Consultation Meeting on Investment of Auction Funds from California Cap-and-Trade Program
From: rding@arb.ca.gov

Please save the date for a public consultation meeting hosted by
the California Air Resources Board (ARB) on approaches for
investing auction proceeds from California’s cap-and-trade
program.   Panelists will discuss how California can most
effectively invest these funds to support the goals of Assembly
Bill 32 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases, as well as encourage
long-term transformation to improve public health and develop a
clean energy economy.  The public can share ideas about what
criteria and programs should be prioritized in the development of
an investment plan.  ARB will soon be issuing a notice that
provides additional detail about the meeting and how to
participate.

DATE:		May 24, 2012

TIME:		1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PDT

PLACE: 	California Environmental Protection Agency Building
Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd floor
1001 I Street
Sacramento, California 95814

A live webcast of the meeting will be available at:
http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1

The meeting notice will be available soon at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm.

BACKGROUND:

The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Chapter 488, Statutes
of 2006 [AB 32, Núñez/Pavley]), requires California to reduce
statewide greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to
maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020.  As part of this
effort, ARB has developed a cap-and-trade program. The program
establishes a statewide emissions limit on sources responsible
for 85 percent of greenhouse gases and creates a financial
incentive for investment in clean and efficient technologies.
Under the program, a portion of allowances required for
compliance will be auctioned. Strategic investment of auction
funds can further the purposes of AB 32 and deliver long-term
economic, environmental, and clean energy benefits. The first
auction is scheduled for November 2012 and auctions will be held
on a quarterly basis thereafter through 2020. 

ACCOMMODATION:  

To request special accommodations or language needs, please
contact Carol Wysong at 916.322.0289 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

Subject: ordiesel -- ARB Off-Road Regulation: Two engine vehicles and labeling updates
From: tnajjar@arb.ca.gov

Many diesel on-road vehicles with two-engines are subject to the
Off-Road Regulation and must be reported to the Air Resources
Board (ARB), and all vehicles subject to the regulation must be
labeled on both sides by January 1, 2013. Amendments to the
Off-Road Regulation approved in 2010 make both engines of many
on-road two-engine vehicles subject to the regulation. The
following two-engine vehicles and their engines are subject to
the Off-Road Regulation and should already have been reported to
ARB.  If not yet reported, they must be reported immediately or
face enforcement action:
 
•  Not already subject to the Fleet Rule for Public Agencies and
   Utilities; 
•  Not a two-engine on-road sweeper; 
•  Have a gross vehicular weight > 14,000 pounds; and 
•  Have an auxiliary engine ≥ 50 brake horsepower that is
   permanently attached and integrated into the design of the
   vehicle. 

All two-engine cranes and water well drilling rigs continue to be
subject to the regulation. More information on this requirement
is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/regadv/adv1202b.pdf. 

Effective January 1, 2013, all vehicles subject to the Off-Road
Regulation will be required to have both sides labeled with their
Equipment Identification Number (EIN). All vehicles newly
reported to ARB must now be labeled on both sides within 30 days
of receiving the EIN and all previously reported vehicles must be
labeled on both sides by January 1, 2013. For more information
about labeling on both sides of a vehicle or the off-road
regulation, visit the off-road regulation website at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1208/msc1208.pdf.

Also effective January 1, 2013, Captive Attainment Area Fleets
are required to label their vehicles with EINs that have white
lettering with a green background (rather than white on red). 
All Captive Attainment Area Fleets newly reported to ARB must now
be labeled on both sides within 30 days of receiving the EIN, and
all previously reported vehicles must be labeled on both sides by
January 1, 2013. Captive attainment area fleets are treated as
small fleets even if their total horsepower (hp) exceeds the
small fleet threshold of 2,500 hp.  More information about how
the labels must appear is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/faq/faq-labeling.pdf.

Background

The regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles first became
effective under California law on June 15, 2008.  This regulation
is intended to reduce harmful emissions from diesel powered
construction and mining vehicles operating in California and
having propulsion engines that are 25 hp or greater.  Fleets were
required to initially report their off-road diesel vehicles to
ARB in 2009 via the Diesel Off-road On-line Reporting System
(DOORS).  In addition, fleet owners are currently subject to
restrictions on unnecessary idling, and will be subject to
accelerated replacement/repower requirements beginning January 1,
2014,

If you have any questions regarding off-road reporting, please
contact the DOORS hotline at (877) 59-DOORS (877-593-6677) or by
email at doors@arb.ca.gov.  For further information on ARB’s
diesel vehicle and equipment regulations, please call the

Off-Road Regulation and must be reported to the Air Resources
Board (ARB), and all vehicles subject to the regulation must be
labeled on both sides by January 1, 2013. We are reissuing the
note sent this morning to the ordiesel listserve, which had an
inadvertent formatting problem and some unclear wording.  We
apologize for any inconvenience. The corrected note is below.

Many diesel on-road vehicles with two engines are subject to the
Off-Road Regulation and must be reported to the Air Resources
Board (ARB), and all vehicles subject to the regulation must be
labeled on both sides by January 1, 2013.  Amendments to the
Off-Road Regulation approved in 2010 make both engines of many
on-road two-engine vehicles subject to the regulation.  On-road
two-engine vehicles that meet both the following criteria are
subject to the Off-Road Regulation, and if not yet reported, must
be reported immediately or face enforcement action:

*  Have a gross vehicular weight > 14,000 pounds; and 
*  Have an auxiliary engine >= 50 brake horsepower that is
   permanently attached and integrated into the design of the
   vehicle. 

These requirements do not apply to two-engine on-road sweepers,
as those vehicles are subject to the On-Road Truck and Bus
Regulation, nor to vehicles that are subject to the Fleet Rule
for Public Agencies and Utilities.

All two-engine cranes and water well drilling rigs continue to be
subject to the Off-Road Regulation. More information on this
requirement is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/regadv/adv1202b.pdf. 

Effective January 1, 2013, all vehicles subject to the Off-Road
Regulation will be required to have both sides labeled with their
Equipment Identification Number (EIN). All vehicles newly
reported to ARB must now be labeled on both sides within 30 days
of receiving the EIN and all previously reported vehicles must be
labeled on both sides by January 1, 2013. For more information
about labeling on both sides of a vehicle or the off-road
regulation, visit the off-road regulation website at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1208/msc1208.pdf.

Also effective January 1, 2013, designated Captive Attainment
Area Fleets are required to label their vehicles with EINs that
have white lettering with a green background (rather than white
on red).  All Captive Attainment Area Fleets newly reported to
ARB must now be labeled on both sides within 30 days of receiving
the EIN, and all previously reported vehicles must be labeled on
both sides by January 1, 2013. Captive attainment area fleets are
treated as small fleets even if their total horsepower (hp)
exceeds the small fleet threshold of 2,500 hp.  More information
about how the labels must appear is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/faq/faq-labeling.pdf.

Background

The regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles first became
effective under California law on June 15, 2008.  This regulation
is intended to reduce harmful emissions from diesel powered
construction and mining vehicles operating in California and
having propulsion engines that are 25 hp or greater.  Fleets were
required to initially report their off-road diesel vehicles to
ARB in 2009 via the Diesel Off-road On-line Reporting System
(DOORS).  In addition, fleet owners are currently subject to
restrictions on unnecessary idling, and will be subject to
accelerated replacement/repower requirements beginning January 1,
2014,

If you have any questions regarding off-road reporting, please
contact the DOORS hotline at (877) 59-DOORS (877-593-6677) or by
email at doors@arb.ca.gov.  For further information on ARB’s
diesel vehicle and equipment regulations, please call the
California Air Resources Board Diesel Hotline at
866-6DIESEL(866-634-3735).  For further information about the

Subject: arbcombo -- Enforcement Advisory Regarding U.S. EPA Authorization to Enforce the In-Use Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Regulation
From: rding@arb.ca.gov

This notice is to inform Large Spark-Ignition (LSI) equipment
operators of the Air Resources Board’s (ARB) intent to commence
enforcement of all requirements of the In Use Off Road Large
Spark-Ignition (LSI) Engine Fleet Regulation (LSI Fleet
Regulation or Regulation).  The regulation was filed with the
California Secretary of State in May 2007, at which time the
requirements of the LSI Fleet Regulation came into effect and
were fully enforceable except for those parts of the Regulation
that required United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.
EPA) authorization under the federal Clean Air Act.  U.S. EPA
granted California authorization on April 4, 2012.  With the
issuance of this authorization, those provisions are now
enforceable as well.  ARB anticipates that it will commence the
enforcement process slowly, initially auditing a small number of
facilities for training purposes.  Full scale enforcement will
commence following the completion of training near the end of
this year.

Advisory Number 441: Enforcement of the In-Use Off-Road Large
Spark-Ignition (LSI) Engine Fleet Regulation is available at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/enf/advs/advs441.pdf

Additional information on the regulation is available at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/lsi

Background

On May 25, 2006, ARB adopted the In-Use Off-Road Large
Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Regulation (LSI Fleet Regulation or
Regulation).  The LSI Fleet Regulation establishes fleet average
emission level standards for operators of in-use fleets of
forklifts, industrial tow tractors, industrial sweeper/scrubbers,
and pieces of airport ground support equipment (GSE) powered by
LSI engines.  The Regulation also establishes recordkeeping
requirements.  Under section 209(e)(2) of the federal Clean Air
Act, California may enforce its own emission standards and other
requirements related to the control of emissions from off-road
engines and equipment not conclusively preempted by section
209(e)(1) – new locomotives and engines and new off-road engines
less than 175 horsepower used in farm and construction equipment
and vehicles – so long as it first applies for and receives
authorization from the Administrator of U.S. EPA. (77 Fed. Ref.
20388, April 4, 2012.)

If you have any questions regarding the requirements of the LSI
Fleet Regulation, please call the LSI Fleet Regulation
information line toll-free at (800) 387-2992 or
mwilliam@arb.ca.gov.

Background

ARB’s regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles (Off-Road
regulation) became effective under California law on June 15,
2008.  This regulation is intended to reduce harmful emissions
from diesel powered construction and mining vehicles operating in
California.  Fleets were required to initially report their
off-road diesel vehicles to ARB in 2009 via the Diesel Off-road
On-line Reporting System (DOORS).  In addition, fleet owners are
subject to restrictions on unnecessary idling and will be subject
to accelerated replacement requirements.  In December 2011, major
amendments to the Off-Road regulation, which include delaying the
first compliance date to no earlier than January 1, 2014, became

Subject: arbcombo -- Compliance Reminder: Use only ARB Verified PM filters
From: rding@arb.ca.gov

Be aware that some companies are advertising and attempting to
sell devices that cannot be used to comply with Air Resources
Board (ARB) diesel engine regulations.  Only diesel particulate
matter (PM) filters or other devices that have been verified by
the ARB to meet rigorous emission reduction and durability
demonstration requirements can be used to comply.  Diesel PM
filters that have been verified by the ARB are listed at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/vt/cvt.htm.  Be sure to check
that any device you are considering is on this list.  You may
also choose to contact an authorized installer to learn more
about verified PM filter retrofit options at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/decsinstall/decsinstall.htm. 
 
In addition, diesel engines that operate on biodiesel or have
been modified to operate in combination with diesel fuel and
alternative fuels must still meet the same emission reduction
requirements as other diesel engines and are not exempt from the
regulations.

For additional information about in-use diesel engine
requirements, please visit the Truck Stop at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/truckstop, call 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735)
or email us at: 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov

Background:

The Air Resources Board has adopted a number of regulations that
require diesel engine owners to reduce toxic air pollution
emissions.  These regulations are part of the State’s plan to
meet federal ambient air quality standards and to protect public
health.  Between 2012 and 2023, nearly all trucks and buses that
operate in California with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight
rating greater than 14,000 pounds will need to upgrade to reduce
exhaust emissions.  Similar clean-up requirements are already in
effect for operators of vehicles in drayage operations (ports and
rail) and transport refrigeration units (reefers),  Additionally,
comparable requirements for owners of certain off-road equipment,
including equipment used in construction, industrial, and airport
operations, will take effect soon.  To comply with these
requirements, fleet owners may retrofit existing engines by
installing ARB verified diesel PM filters or by upgrading to
newer cleaner engines.

Subject: arbcombo -- Avoid Penalties  2013 Enforcement Reminder
From: rding@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has issued an
enforcement reminder letter for vehicles subject to the Truck and
Bus Regulation that have year-end clean-up requirements.   The
letter reminds fleets that heavier vehicles with 2000 to 2004
model year engines that they must have verified soot filters
and/or upgrades to newer vehicles by January 1, 2013. Similar
requirements for vehicles with 1996 to 1999 model year engines
became effective earlier this year. Vehicles may also be eligible
for certain flexibility options.

The letter can be found at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truckstop/pdfs/enf-tb-letter2.pdf

ARB intends to promptly enforce the January 1, 2013 requirements.
 Non-compliant vehicles may not be operated in California and
will be assessed penalties that start at a minimum of $1,000 per
violation per month and increase significantly over time. Do not
delay in taking action to clean up your fleet - the installation
of a PM filter may take a month or longer to accomplish; however,
you may be able to significantly reduce penalties by taking
action now.

For additional information about in-use diesel engine
requirements, please visit the Truck Stop at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/truckstop, call 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735)
or email us at: 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov

Background:
  
The Air Resources Board has adopted a number of regulations that
require diesel engine owners to reduce toxic air pollution
emissions.  These regulations are part of the State’s plan to
meet federal ambient air quality standards and to protect public
health.  Between 2012 and 2023, nearly all trucks and buses that
operate in California with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight
rating greater than 14,000 pounds will need to upgrade to reduce
exhaust emissions.  To comply with these requirements, fleet
owners may retrofit existing engines by installing ARB verified
diesel PM filters or by upgrading to newer cleaner engines.
