After reading your proposed regulation I find it very difficult if
not financially impossible  to meet your requirements. I have been
trying to optain Moyer funding for about a year now. We requested
grants after  tier 3 repower engines became available for our
application. We are a small family operated rental business with
only 20 rental machines but fall under your large fleet rules. I
understand in the "Perfect World" everyone would have new
equipment with tier 3 power with the latest PM acert tech, but
this industry is extremely competitive. Your regulation states
that we will simply pass on all of these costs. I have been in
business for 11 years and if you deduct the fuel cost are hourly
rate has dropped 5% with labor going up 25%-30%, parts 40%- 80%,
Tires 100%, Insurance 45%. This bill will put me out of business.
Why doesn't CARB let us run are older equipment with acert tech.
and Bio-fuel, we could make a greater impact on air quality with
out destoying business and the economy.
