ARB Staff would like to clarify the purpose of two upcoming
events related to the In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation
(off-road regulation). 

On Friday December 19, 2008, a workshop will be held in
Sacramento from 9 am until 1 pm to discuss proposed minor
modifications to the off-road regulation, including an extension
of the early double credit deadline for the installation of
verified diesel emission control strategies (VDECS).  Additional
information is available online at:
www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/documents/ord1219workshop.pdf
including the time and location of the workshop, as well as
instructions on how to view the workshop via webcast.  

Staff would like to note that this workshop is not one of the
off-road training seminars that are currently being conducted
across the state.  For those interested in an off-road training
seminar, one will be held in Sacramento on Monday, December 22,
2008.  For additional information on this training seminar,
please see description below.

On Monday December 22, 2008, ARB staff will be holding a
training seminar on the off-road regulation in Sacramento to
assist fleet owners with their compliance efforts.  This free
training seminar, which is the 16th offered by staff across the
State, will provide an in depth presentation of the regulation
and how to comply, a discussion of record keeping and vehicle
labeling requirements, a review of exhaust retrofit products
currently available, and information about grant opportunities. 
In addition, participants will have an opportunity to speak
one-on-one with providers of exhaust retrofit devices. Following
the general training session fleet owners will have the
opportunity to meet with an ARB staff member and obtain training
on the Diesel Off-Road On-Line Reporting System (DOORS).  During
these individual trainings, staff will be available to show
fleets how to enter their data into the DOORS system.  These
individual trainings are by appointment only and limited to 30
minutes. To find out more information about the upcoming free
training sessions and to register, please go to
