With the recent publication from DOT (BTS57-08 Dec. 1, 2008 - copy
attached), how can CARB possibly check every vehicle that enters
the State for compliance? I don't believe it can be done. With the
California businesses baring the brunt of this regulation, the
vehicle owners that are affected by this regulation are being
subjected to higher costs. The reduction in tons per day of
pollutants claimed in this regulation are false due to the
inability to regulate the vehicles entering from our borders. There
is nothing in the regulation that states vehicles entering this
State will be checked for compliance. The only reference is a
penalty to the companies inside the State of California that uses a
non-compliant vehicle. Please consider the proposal made by the
DTCC and also take into consideration the many Industry educated
supporters for this proposal. Thank you for the oportunity to
express my concerns,
