tru -- Reminder - TRU registration deadline looms
Posted: 23 Jul 2009 07:44:57
The deadline for registering California-based TRUs is July 31, 2009. Reminder! July 31, 2009, is the deadline for registering California-based transport refrigeration units (TRU) and TRU generator (gen) sets with the California Air Resources Board (ARB). California-based TRUs and TRU gen sets are TRUs and TRU gen sets equipped on trucks, trailers, shipping containers, or railcars that a reasonable person would find to be regularly assigned to terminals within California. You may register your TRUs and TRU generator sets online at the Air Resources Board Equipment Registration (ARBER) system. ARBER may be accessed using your web browser at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/arber/arber.htm. Registration is free. Instructions and help screens are provided in the left navigation bar of this website. Please call the TRU Help Line at 1-888-878-2826 if you need assistance. Please be aware that enforcement of the TRU registration requirement begins August 2009. Citations will be issued to all noncompliant TRU owners and operators. Penalties will be up to $500 per nonregistered, California-based TRU but can possibly be more for serious cases. Ticketed TRU owners will also be subject to full audits by ARB for all applicable diesel engine regulations. Please also be aware that model year 2002 or older TRU engines, must be fully compliant with the in-use standards by December 31, 2009. Since lead times can be three to four months and may change with supply and demand, it is recommended that orders for compliance technology be placed by September 1st. Beginning January 2010, all noncompliant equipment will be cited and a penalty up to $1,000 per unit will be assessed, but can possibly be more for serious cases. Compliance would also be required within 60 days.
