Dear Members of the California State Legislaature:

I want to Make this very clear, High Sierra Distributing is very
supportive of reducing particulate matter (PM) and NOx emissions
from diesel engines, However in it's current form, the Board's
proposed regulation, jeprardizes our future viability in the Berr
Distributing Industry, which is already reeling from unprecedented
financial turmoil.

We are a small distributor in 2 very large teritories, Inyo and
Mono Counties that because of the pending Depression ( not just
Recession) face very a bleak future, we have 25 employees that
would be out of a job, if this company folded. When we replace a
truck every couple of years, we normally would replace it with a
new truck, that is up to date at that time. We need more time to
change our fleet, with the pending fianacial future looking very
bleak for small companies, we need more time to fix or replace our
small fleet.

In fact CARB's own analysis of our DTCC alternative confirms that
the Dtcc alterative proposal achieves roughly similar benifits of
the proposed regulation in the long term.

We must be careful in this fragile economy not to put more people
out of work and reduce our ability to keep this State  together.

Sincerly, William B. Seberry,
High Sierra Distributing,
647 N.ain St., Bishop, California
