Rumors About the TRU Regulation – Fact or fiction?. Rumors - Fact or Fiction? If you hear a rumor about the California Air Resources Board’s (ARB) Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) regulation, please check the TRU Website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm to verify authenticity. Also, be sure that you are signed up for the TRU list serve so that you can stay informed on the latest news about the TRU regulation. Rumor #1: An additional compliance extension has been approved. Truth #1: This rumor is not true. However, a six month grace period is currently in effect until July 16, 2009, for meeting the in-use performance standards. For details, see TRU Advisory 08-15-R3 at the TRU Website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm Good Faith Compliance If you have not already complied, ARB strongly recommends that you place your emissions control technology orders as soon as possible but by June 1, 2009, at the latest, to be considered for good-faith compliance efforts in the event that there is a supply bottleneck. Verified retrofit emissions control systems and parts, and replacement engines (new and remanufactured) are currently in stock, with next-day shipping being quoted. Stock will run out soon and three-month delivery lead times are likely. ARB will begin enforcement after July 16, 2009. Parties that have not made good-faith effort to comply may be subject to penalties. Rumor #2: If you register after the March 16, 2009, registration deadline, ARB will automatically issue you a citation with penalties. Truth #2: This rumor is not true. ARB has no automatic citation plan for those registering late. If you missed the registration deadline, please expedite your registration application. If a California-based TRU is inspected and does not have an Identification Number affixed to both sides of the housing, a citation could be issued.
