Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:10:35 -0800 Subject: arbcombo -- Upcoming Diesel Truck Regulation Education Classes and Events From: wfell@arb.ca.gov The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is conducting upcoming training classes and holding other events to educate truck owners, operators, and heavy duty diesel vehicle and equipment sellers about California regulations that affect them. The events include One-Stop Truck Events, Vehicle and Equipment Seller trainings, and a number of training classes. The events and training classes will provide information about statewide idling limits, Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection Program (HDVIP), engine labeling, Truck and Bus Regulation, Drayage Truck Regulation, Tractor and Trailer Greenhouse Gas Regulation, Transport Refrigeration Unit Regulation, and associated funding opportunities. The topics for each event may vary. For instance, certain training classes will focus on the Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas regulation compliance planning and reporting, while others will provide information about the Truck and Bus regulation with a focus on agricultural vehicle extension reporting. The events and training classes are being held on various dates and at different locations throughout California. Specific times, locations, and information about each event's topic are available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/training.htm . Background The Air Resources Board has a long history of adopting regulations to reduce criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. In 1998, California identified diesel exhaust particulate matter (PM) as a toxic air contaminant based on its potential to cause cancer, premature death, and other health problems. Diesel engines also contribute to California's fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air quality problems. Those most vulnerable are children whose lungs are still developing and the elderly who may have other serious health problems. In addition, in September 2007, the Board adopted a State Implementation Plan in coordination with local air districts to meet federal ambient air quality deadlines. The (SIP) identifies the reductions needed to attain national ambient air quality standards for ozone and PM2.5. The largest share of new emission reductions in the 2007 SIP is expected from trucks. A number of regulations are now in effect that that require diesel engine owners to take steps to reduce their engine emissions. All truck owners must maintain engines so that they do not smoke excessively, must limit unnecessary idling, and meet other state emission reduction requirements. Nearly all trucks and buses with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating greater than 14,000 pounds and transport refrigeration units that operate in California are required to have exhaust retrofits or to upgrade to cleaner engines early. The regulations are part of the state’s plan to meet federal ambient air quality standards and to protect public health. The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) established requirements to achieve reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. AB 32 requires the Air Resources Board (the Board or ARB) and other state agencies to adopt regulations and other requirements that would reduce statewide GHG emission levels to the equivalent of 1990 levels by 2020. The Tractor-Trailer GHG rulemaking is one of 44 early action measures identified by the Board. For further information, please contact 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov or call 866-6diesel.

From: wfell@arb.ca.gov The Air Resources Board (ARB) is soliciting competitive proposals from experienced and qualified contractors to complete tasks identified by ARB to provide training and deliver outreach materials to diesel vehicle owners affected by ARB truck regulations. These regulations include the Truck and Bus Regulation, the Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas Regulation and other in-use diesel regulations. Request for Proposal (RFP) Number 10-621 is published online in the California State Contracts Register at: http://www.dgs.ca.gov/pd/Programs/eprocure.aspx. The direct link to RFP Number 10-621 is available at: http://www.bidsync.com/DPX?ac=view&auc=1801970. To ensure receipt of any addenda to this RFP that may be issued, interested parties are encouraged to register online at: http://www.bidsync.com/help/bidsync/freebids.html. The deadline for receipt of proposals is July 19, 2011, no later than 3:00 p.m. Neither late received, faxed, or emailed proposals are acceptable. All late, faxed, and emailed proposals will be rejected and returned to the potential proposer. Sealed proposals must be received on or before the date and time specified herein at the following location: Mailing and Street Address: Air Resources Board Contract & Procurement Services Section Attn: Jeffrey D. Mapes 1001 I Street, 20th Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 Please be advised that you are responsible for ensuring that your proposal is received by the above listed contact person by the time and date required. Any proposal reaching the contact person after the deadline date and time will be returned unopened. Background On December 11, 2008, the Board approved for adoption the Truck and Bus Regulation and the Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Regulation to control emissions from nearly all existing diesel powered heavy-duty trucks and buses operating in California. These regulations became effective under California law in January 2010. Reducing emissions from in-use trucks and buses is necessary to meet federally imposed clean air standards and to reduce the adverse health effects from truck and bus pollution. The Truck and Bus Regulation applies to diesel fueled trucks and buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 pounds that are privately owned, federally owned, and to publicly and privately owned school buses. Local and state government owned diesel fueled trucks and buses are already subject to other ARB in-use regulations. On December 17, 2010, the staff recommended amendments that would delay the initial requirement to install particulate matter (PM) retrofit filters by one year to January 1, 2012 and extended the time that vehicles would comply with PM filters installed. The amendments would also defer engine replacements for two years until January 1, 2015. Prior to 2020, replacements would be limited to 20 year old or older trucks that are not equipped with PM filters. By January 1, 2023, most vehicles would still need to have 2010 model year engines or equivalent. The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) established requirements to achieve reductions of GHG emissions. AB 32 requires the Air Resources Board and other state agencies to adopt regulations and other requirements that would reduce statewide GHG emission levels to the equivalent of 1990 levels by 2020.

OAL has until December to approve the regulations and file them with the Secretary of State. The rulemaking documents are available for the truck regulations at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2010/truckbus10/truckbus10.htm, and for the off-road regulations at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2010/offroadlsi10/offroadlsi10.htm. Background The Air Resources Board adopted a number of regulations that require diesel engine owners to reduce their engine emissions. These regulations are part of the State’s plan to meet federal ambient air quality standards and to protect public health. Between now and 2023, nearly all trucks and buses that operate in California and have a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating greater than 14,000 pounds must upgrade to reduce exhaust emissions. Similar requirements will also become effective in the next several years affecting owners and operators of certain off-road equipment (including equipment used in construction, industrial, and airport operations). To comply with these requirements, fleet owners can upgrade existing engines by installing particulate matter (PM) filter retrofits or other Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategies (VDECS), or by upgrading to cleaner engines. In addition, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) established requirements to achieve reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. AB 32 requires the Air Resources Board (the Board or ARB) and other state agencies to adopt regulations and other requirements that would reduce statewide GHG emission levels to the equivalent of 1990 levels by 2020. The Tractor-Trailer GHG rulemaking is one of 44 early action measures identified by the Board and requires certain tractor and trailer combinations to use low-rolling resistance tires and aerodynamic technology. For more information regarding these regulations please call 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735) or go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truckstop/truckstop.htm.

Please note that fleets which must report have until January 31, 2012 to complete their reporting. Please refer to the Truck and Bus Regulation User Guide at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/documents/tbuserguide.pdf for more information on how to report. There is no cost to report. Please be aware that the reporting requirements for fleets differ by gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Specifically: HEAVIER VEHICLES (GVWR more than 26,000 lbs) - No reporting is required for diesel truck owners that comply with the engine model year schedule and do not plan to use credits, and extensions. A fact sheet with the compliance requirements summary is available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/documents/FSRegSum.pdf - Fleets that report by January 31, 2012 will have more flexibility to bring heavier vehicles into compliance. - Small fleets with three or fewer diesel vehicles must report all heavier trucks now if any have 1996 to 1999 model year engines of if you are an owner operator with a heavier low-mileage construction truck. Otherwise, you may wait until next year to report. LIGHTER VEHICLES (14,001 to 26,000 lbs) - No reporting is required, as clean-up requirements do not begin until January 1, 2015. Note that publicly and privately owned school buses have different clean-up requirements than other vehicles and do not need to be reported. For additional information about the compliance options and other Truck and Bus regulatory requirements, please visit our web site at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck or call us at 866-6DIESEL. Background On December 11, 2008, the Board approved for adoption the Truck and Bus regulation to control emissions from nearly all existing diesel powered heavy-duty trucks and buses operating in California. The regulation became effective under California law on January 8, 2010. The regulation applies to diesel fueled trucks and buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 pounds that are privately owned, federally owned, and to publicly and privately owned school buses. Local and state government owned diesel fueled trucks and buses are already subject to other ARB regulations. Reducing emissions from in-use trucks and buses is necessary to meet federally imposed clean air standards and to reduce the adverse health effects from truck and bus pollution. On December 17, 2010, the staff recommended amendments, which are presently pending adoption, that would delay the initial requirement to install particulate matter (PM) retrofit filters by one year to January 1, 2012 and extend the time before a vehicle equipped with a PM filter would have to have an engine that meets 2010 model year emission standards. The amendments also defer engine replacements for vehicles without PM filters for two years until January 1, 2015. Prior to 2020, replacements are limited to 20 year old or older trucks that are not equipped with PM filters. By January 1, 2023, most vehicles will need to be equipped with an engine meeting 2010 model year emission standards.
