ARBER TRU Manual Operator Report and Terminal Information
The Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) ATCM requires operators of California terminals to submit Operator Reports. This reporting program gathers information needed to evaluate emissions from TRUs. The requirements are set forth in title 13, California Code of Regulations, section 2477. These requirements have been split into two pieces:the Operator Report, which provides company information, and Terminal Information, which provides information about the location of the terminal and identifies which TRUs and/or TRU generator sets are assigned to the terminal.
There are two ways to submit the Operator Report and Terminal Information forms.The first is to electronically enter the information via the Internet into ARB’s Equipment Registration (ARBER) system,ARBER will be available on January 6, 2009. The second method is to download and print out the Operator Report and Terminal Information forms, then fill out the forms manually or on the computer and submit them to ARB through the mail.
The instructions below apply to the manual method of downloading, printing,
filling in, and mailing the forms.
You may use the forms to gather the needed information for online application or submittal by mail (mailing
address is on the Operator Report Form).
If you have further questions related to filling out these forms, please
call the toll-free TRU ATCM Help Line:
1-888-878-2826 (1-888-TRU-ATCM) or send an email to arber@arb.ca.gov.
