Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 14:37:50 -0700 Subject: arbcombo -- Public Workshop To Discuss Proposed Amendments to The Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Regulation From: rding@arb.ca.gov Public Workshop To Discuss Proposed Amendments to The Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Regulation – Save the Dates June 8, June 10, and June 12, 2015. Air Resources Board (ARB/Board) staff intends to conduct a public workshop to discuss proposed amendments to the Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Regulation (LSI Fleet Regulation) on the dates below. At the workshop, ARB staff will present initial near- and long-term concepts to amend the LSI Fleet Regulation. This includes aligning with the reporting and labeling requirements similar to the existing In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation to both better characterize the existing California LSI fleet, and to ensure compliance with the existing LSI regulation. Staff is also interested in hearing from affected stakeholders on alternatives to achieving these same objectives. The workshops will be held in the following time and location: Date: June 8, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Location: Cal EPA Building Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Date: June 10, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Location: San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District 1990 E. Gettysburg Avenue Fresno, CA 93726 Date: June 12, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Location: South Coast Air Quality Management District Auditorium 21865 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, CA 91765 If you have any questions regarding this workshop, please contact Mr. Todd Sterling, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323-2397 or Todd.Sterling@arb.ca.gov. Background To achieve its healthy air quality, climate, and sustainability goals, California must take effective, well-coordinated actions to transition to a zero emission transportation system for both passengers and freight. The freight transport system is a major economic engine for California, but also accounts for about half of toxic diesel particulate matter, 45 percent of the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) that form ozone and fine particulate matter in the atmosphere, and 6 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in California. These statistics include emissions from trucks, ships, locomotives, aircraft, harbor craft, and all types of equipment used to move freight at seaports, airports, rail yards, warehouses and distribution centers. Proposed amendments to the LSI Fleet Regulation are identified in the Sustainable Freight Strategy as a Near-Term ARB Measure. In 1998, ARB first adopted emission standards for new spark-ignited engines used in propane forklifts and other similar industrial equipment. These engines are referred to as LSI engines. In addition to forklifts, the LSI category includes airport ground support equipment (GSE), sweepers and scrubbers, generator sets, small irrigation pumps, and a variety of other similar equipment. The LSI Fleet Regulation applies to operators of forklifts, sweeper/scrubbers, industrial tow tractors, and airport GSE. These vehicles are found in approximately 2,000 LSI fleets in California in industries as diverse as manufacturing, wholesale, transportation and utilities, retail, services, and construction, as well as public agencies. The 2006 LSI rulemaking and 2010 amendments required operators of in-use fleets to achieve specific hydrocarbon + NOx fleet average emission level (FAEL) standards that became more stringent over time, the lowest FAEL for large and medium fleets was to be achieved in 2013. The standards are also more stringent for forklifts than they are for non-forklift LSI equipment. The stringency of the standards reflects the differences in availability of retrofit devices for the four categories of in-use LSI equipment as well as the greater ability of large fleets to incorporate zero and near zero-emission equipment into their operations. Since 2007, fleet operators are required to keep updated fleet records at their facilities until June 30, 2016. Small fleets and in-field equipment are exempt from the LSI Fleet Regulation.

The current LSI Fleet Regulation focuses on reducing emissions and keeping records for equipment types such as, most forklifts, sweepers/scrubbers, industrial tow tractors, and airport ground support equipment. In-field agricultural equipment are exempt. At the workshop, ARB staff will present initial near- and long-term concepts to amend the LSI Fleet Regulation. Near term, this includes aligning with the reporting and labeling requirements similar to the existing In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation to both better characterize the existing California LSI fleet, and to ensure compliance with the existing LSI regulation. Staff is also interested in hearing from affected stakeholders on alternatives to achieving these same objectives. Key elements of the near-term LSI Fleet Regulation amendments under consideration that will be discussed at these workshops include: •Propose reporting requirements for all LSI fleets •Propose equipment labeling requirements •Clarify regulatory language Zero emission technologies are commercially available, already in use in many LSI fleets, while other LSI equipment operate in duty cycles where zero emission technologies may be viable. Longer term, a combination of incentives and regulatory approaches are under consideration to expand the deployment of zero emission technologies in the off-road sector.
