tru -- Operator Reports for California Reefer Terminals are Past Due

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 09:58:52
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is currently enforcing
the Operator Report requirement for the Transport Refrigeration
Unit (TRU) Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM). 

If you are a TRU operator that operates, maintains, garages, or
dispatches from a terminal located in California, then an
Operator Report was due on July 31, 2009.  Basic Information on
Operator Reports is available at the TRU website under the
“Operator Report” heading at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm.  Instructions and help for
submitting an Operator Report are available at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/arber/registration.htm.  Operator Reports
are not required from independent third-party maintenance and
repair facilities.

A “terminal” is defined as any place where a TRU or TRU gen set
equipped truck, trailer, shipping container, railcar or TRU gen
set is regularly garaged, maintained, operated, or dispatched
from, including a dispatch office, cross-dock facility,
maintenance shop, business, or private residence.  If you are
unsure whether you need to submit an Operator Report, please call
ARB’s toll-free TRU Help Line at 1-888-878-2826
(1-888-TRU-ATCM).

Terminal operators that are found to be delinquent in submitting
an Operator Report during a compliance inspection will be subject
to penalties up to $300 per violation.  Penalties may be more if
the violation continues uncorrected.

Please also be aware that December 31, 2009, is the compliance
deadline for TRU engine model years 2002 and older to meet the
in-use performance standards.  Orders for compliance technology
must take into account delivery and installation lead times,
which can be several months.  After December 31, 2009,
noncompliant TRUs will be subject to penalties up to $500 per
unit.  There will be no grace periods for late ordering.  Don’t
delay!  Order today!
