hdghg -- California Air Resources Board proposing amendments to the Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation
Posted: 25 Mar 2010 11:15:48
The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) plans to consider regulatory amendments to the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Measure (Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation) at a hearing planned for late summer 2010. At that time, the Board will also consider amendments to the Truck and Bus Regulation. The proposed amendments to the Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation include the following: * Add a second optional large fleet compliance schedule (Option 2) that would delay initial compliance by one year. This would allow affected large fleets that miss the July 1, 2010 reporting deadline for the existing compliance schedule (Option 1) to be able to phase in compliance of their trailers, beginning one year later, but at an accelerated rate. * Add flexibility to the reporting requirements for both large and small trailer fleets that choose to participate in an optional trailer fleet compliance schedule. The proposed amendment would allow these fleets to either report the specific trailers brought into conformance up front, as currently required, or to report the specific trailers they brought into conformance each year, at the end of each year. * Add an exemption for “storage trailers” that would exempt them from the aerodynamic technology and low rolling resistance tire requirements of this regulation. Owners would need to register with ARB for this exemption. * Miscellaneous minor clean-up language Additional information is available at www.arb.ca.gov/cc/hdghg/hdghg.htm, or you may call 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735), or send an email to 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov.
