On October 12, 2006, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff will hold a
symposium in Sacramento to discuss development of the federal
8-hour ozone and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) attainment
plans.  A meeting notice and further information will be sent
out prior to the meeting.

The focus of the symposium will be to outline the State’s
standing in relation to the federal standards, what current
science is telling us it will take to meet the standards, and
discuss the statewide strategy under development to find the
emission reductions needed to demonstrate attainment of the
standards.  At the symposium, ARB staff will discuss options
under consideration to reduce emissions from sources under State
and federal control, including sources addressed in the Air
Resources Board’s Goods Movement Emission Reduction Strategy and
Diesel Risk Reduction Plan.

The State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for 8-hour ozone and PM2.5
are due to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2007 and
2008 respectively.  ARB staff will propose a final strategy
before an ARB public meeting in the Spring of 2007 at which the
Board will consider the proposal as an addition to the
California SIP.

If you have any questions or need more information, please
contact Carol Sutkus of ARB’s Planning and Technical Support
Division at (916) 322-1229 or csutkus@arb.ca.gov.

the project life to be 5 years for targeted vocations and 3
years for other vocations.  Based on school bus data available
to ARB staff, the maximum allowable project life for school
buses participating in a fleet modernization program is as
follows:
o	Pre-1977 model year (MY) school buses: Five years
o	Model year 1977 and newer school buses: Eleven Years

The model years shown above refer to the model year of the old
school bus that is being replaced, not the new replacement
school bus. 

•	Eligible Model Years for School Bus – Heavy-duty vehicles
model year 1990 and older are eligible to be replaced under the
Carl Moyer fleet modernization program.  This requirement is
waived for school bus fleet modernization projects.  Thus,
existing school buses of any model year may participate in the
fleet modernization program, provided cost-effectiveness and
other specified criteria are met.

Section VII.C.
•	Engine warranty – The current fleet modernization program
requires the applicant to purchase a minimum of a one-year or
100,000-mile major component engine warranty for the replacement
vehicle.  This requirement is waived for school bus fleet
modernization projects.
•	Electronic monitoring units – The current fleet modernization
program requires the replacement vehicle to be equipped with an
electronic monitoring unit (EMU) to report vehicle miles
traveled and the number of miles a vehicle has operated within
California and district boundaries.  However, it also has a
provision that allows a district to waive the requirement for
installation of an EMU, upon approval of the ARB.  For school
bus fleet modernization projects, ARB approval is automatically
given for districts to waive the EMU requirement.

Section X.A.
•	Maximum award – The current fleet modernization program limits
the maximum funding amount to 80 percent of the cost of a
replacement vehicle when the replacement vehicle is a brand new
vehicle and to the National Automotive Dealership Association
(NADA) adjusted loan value when the replacement vehicle is a
used vehicle.  These requirements are waived for school bus
fleet modernization projects.  Thus, the full cost of the
replacement vehicle could be funded, provided the
cost-effectiveness criterion is met.
New Criterion for School Bus Projects:
The following requirement is a new requirement applicable only
to school buses.  This requirement is added to assure that
school buses being replaced through the Carl Moyer fleet
modernization program are actually being used to transport
children to and from school.  Since the California Highway
Patrol (CHP) conducts annual safety certification inspections on
school buses, this new criterion would require the old school bus
to be CHP-safety certified in order to be eligible to receive
funding.  This requirement is consistent with the Lower-Emission
School Bus Program Guidelines.

Section VII.B.
•	California Highway Patrol (CHP) safety certification
requirement – All school buses participating in the Carl Moyer
fleet modernization program must have a current CHP safety
certification as of December 31, 2005, and at the time funding
is awarded to replace the bus (i.e., the school bus cannot have
a lapsed CHP safety certification), and must be currently
registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. 

Clarifications of Criteria for School Bus Fleet Modernization
Projects

What emission factors are to be used for School Buses?
All Carl Moyer school bus projects must use the emission factors
for medium heavy-duty vehicles as shown in Table B-4 of the Carl
Moyer Program Guidelines – 2005 Revision.

What particulate matter (PM) weighting factor is to be used for
School Buses?
The PM weighting factor to be used for all school bus projects
is the 20 times factor allowed in the 2005 Carl Moyer
Guidelines.

Can old school buses be sold out of the country instead of
destroyed?
The fleet modernization program already has a provision that
allows a district to request an alternative disposition of the
old vehicle.

Sample Calculation

Example – Replacing a 1980 MY School Bus with a New 2007 MY
School Bus
The replacement school bus will be delivered from the
manufacturer, equipped with a PM trap as standard equipment. 
The air district does not require installation of an EMU with
the replacement school bus.

Baseline Technology Information:
•	Baseline technology: 1980 MY school bus
•	Emission rates (Table B-4, 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines):
17.21 grams/mile (g/mi) oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
0.29 g/mi reactive organic gases (ROG),
0.792 g/mi PM10
•	Activity: 13,000 miles/year (mi/yr)
•	Percent operated in California: 100 percent

Reduced Technology Information: 
•	Reduced technology: 2007 MY school bus 
•	Emission rates (Table B-4, 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines):
  		0.51 g/mi NOx, 0.02 g/mi ROG, 0.024 g/mi PM10
•	Cost (quote provided with application): $115,000

Emission Reduction Calculations: 
Formula C-8, 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines:
Estimated Annual Emissions Based on Mileage Using Emission
Factors 
1.	Annual NOx baseline technology emissions	
(17.21 g/mi * 13,000 mi)(ton/ 907,200 g) 	= 0.247 tons/year
(tons/yr)NOx
2.	Annual NOx reduced technology emissions
(0.51 g/mi * 13,000 mi)(ton/ 907,200 g)	= 0.007 tons/yr NOx
3.	Annual ROG baseline technology emissions
(0.29 g/mi * 13,000 mi) (ton/ 907,200 g) 	= 0.0042 tons/yr ROG
4.	Annual ROG reduced technology emissions
(0.02 g/mi * 13,000 mi)(ton/ 907,200 g)	= 0.0003 tons/yr ROG
5.	Annual PM10 baseline technology emissions	
(0.792 g/mi * 13,000 mi)(ton/ 907,200 g)  	= 0.0113 tons/yr
PM10
6.	Annual PM10 reduced technology emissions
(0.024 g/mi * 13,000 mi)(ton/ 907,200 g)  	= 0.0003 tons/yr
PM10

Formula C-10, 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines: Annual Surplus
Emission Reductions by Pollutant (tons/yr) for Repowers and New
Purchases: 
•	NOx Emission Benefits   = 0.247 tons/yr - 0.007 tons/yr =
0.240 tons/yr NOx
•	ROG Emission Benefits  = 0.0042 tons/yr - 0.0003 tons/yr =
0.004 tons/yr ROG
•	PM10 Emission Benefits = 0.0113 tons/yr - 0.0003 tons/yr =
0.011 tons/yr PM10

Formula C-2, 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines: Annual Weighted Surplus
Emission Reductions
0.240 tons/yr + 0.004 tons/yr + 20(0.011 tons/yr) = 0.464
weighted tons/yr

Annualized Cost
Project Life = 11 Years 
	CRF (Table B-1, 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines) 	= 0.114 

Formula C-12, 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines:  Annualized Cost
	$115,000 * 0.114 = $13,110/yr

Cost-Effectiveness
Formula C-1:  Cost-Effectiveness of Weighted Surplus Emission
Reductions
= ($13,110/yr) / (0.464 weighted tons/yr)
	= $28,254 weighted tons/yr

In this example, the cost-effectiveness is more than the
threshold of $14,300 per weighted ton of pollutants reduced. 
This project qualifies for a maximum grant of $58,204, which is
approximately 50% of the new school bus cost

Revised Criteria and Clarifications to School Bus Fleet
Modernization Projects
2005 Carl Moyer Program Guidelines
October 23, 2006


Revised Criteria for School Bus Projects:
The following requirements in the 2005 Carl Moyer Guidelines are
revised for school bus fleet modernization projects:

Section VII.B.
•	Project Life – The current fleet modernization program limits
the project life to be 5 years for targeted vocations and 3
years for other vocations.  Based on school bus data available
to ARB staff, the maximum allowable project life for school
buses participating in a fleet modernization program is as

Cost-Effectiveness
Formula C-1:  Cost-Effectiveness of Weighted Surplus Emission
Reductions
= ($13,110/yr) / (0.431 weighted tons/yr)
	= $30,418 weighted tons/yr

In this example, the cost-effectiveness is more than the
threshold of $14,300 per weighted ton of pollutants reduced. 
This project qualifies for a maximum grant of $54,063, which is
approximately 50% of the new school bus cost.

Subject: arbcombo Save the Date - ARB Workshop on 11/14/06
From: wfell@arb.ca.gov

On November 14, 2006, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff will hold a
second meeting in Sacramento to discuss potential control
concepts to reduce emissions from sources under State and
federal control, for the purpose of attaining the federal 8-hour
ozone and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air quality standards.
 At a State Implementation Plan (SIP) symposium held on October
12, ARB staff presented an initial overview of concepts under
consideration for reducing emissions from sources including but
not limited to passenger vehicles, consumer products, heavy duty
diesel engines, locomotives, ocean-going vessels, and trucks.  At
the November 14 workshop, staff would like to receive feedback
about the potential control concepts as well as the overall
attainment strategies.  

A workshop agenda and additional information about the potential
control concepts will be available approximately one week before
the workshop, at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/sip/2006wkshp/2006wkshp.htm.   

The SIPs for 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 are due to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency in 2007 and 2008, respectively. 
ARB staff will release a final proposed strategy in early 2007. 
The Board will consider the proposal as an addition to the
California SIP at a public hearing in spring 2007.

If you have any questions or need more information, please
contact Karen Khamou of ARB’s Planning and Technical Support
Division at (916) 322-1502 or kkhamou@arb.ca.gov.

Subject: arbcombo -- State Implementation Plan Workshop Agenda
From: wfell@arb.ca.gov

The agenda for the upcoming State Implementation Plan (SIP)
workshop that will be held in Sacramento on November 14, 2006,
is now available on the Air Resources Board’s (ARB) web site at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/sip/2006wkshp/agenda.pdf .  

ARB and local air pollution control districts are developing
proposed revisions to the SIP to describe how the State will
meet new federal air quality standards for ozone and airborne
fine particles (PM2.5).  The ozone and PM2.5 SIPs are due to the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in June 2007 and April 2008,
respectively.  

ARB staff presented draft control concepts that are being
considered for inclusion in the SIP at a Symposium on October
12, 2006.  The control concepts are initial options identified
by ARB staff for reducing air emissions from sources under State
and federal jurisdiction.  The focus of the November 14 workshop
will be to get public comment about these and other options for
reducing emissions from sources under State and federal
jurisdiction.  Staff will utilize input provided at the
workshop, and through other opportunities for public comment, to
develop a strategy that the ARB will consider as an addition to
the SIP prior to June, 2007.  

If you have any questions or need more information, please
contact Karen Khamou of ARB’s Planning and Technical Support
Division at (916) 322-1502 or kkhamou@arb.ca.gov.

Subject: arbcombo -- Nov 14 SIP Workshop: Location Reminder: 1500 11th Street, Sacramento
From: wfell@arb.ca.gov

The agenda for the upcoming State Implementation Plan (SIP)
workshop that will be held in Sacramento on November 14, 2006,
is now available on the Air Resources Board’s (ARB) web site at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/sip/2006wkshp/agenda.pdf.  

Location Reminder:  The workshop will be held at the Auditorium
of the Secretary of State’s Office, 1500 11th Street,
Sacramento.

Photo I.D. is required to enter the building.  No food or drink
is allowed in the auditorium.

ARB and local air pollution control districts are developing
proposed revisions to the SIP to describe how the State will
meet new federal air quality standards for ozone and airborne
fine particles (PM2.5).  The ozone and PM2.5 SIPs are due to the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in June 2007 and April 2008,
respectively.  

ARB staff presented draft control concepts that are being
considered for inclusion in the SIP at a Symposium on October
12, 2006.  The control concepts are initial options identified
by ARB staff for reducing air emissions from sources under State
and federal jurisdiction.  The focus of the November 14 workshop
will be to get public comment about these and other options for
reducing emissions from sources under State and federal
jurisdiction.  Staff will utilize input provided at the
workshop, and through other opportunities for public comment, to
develop a strategy that the ARB will consider as an addition to
the SIP prior to June, 2007.  

If you have any questions or need more information, please
contact Karen Khamou of ARB’s Planning and Technical Support
Division at (916) 322-1502 or kkhamou@arb.ca.gov.
