moyer -- Notice of Public Meeting to Discuss Proposed Changes to the Carl Moyer Program

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:54:56
ARB invites you to participate in a public meeting on December 8,
2010 to discuss proposed changes to the Carl Moyer Program. The
focus of this public meeting will be to consider proposed changes
to on-road funding options in the Carl Moyer Program, including
Fleet Modernization and the On-road Voucher Incentive Program. 
The proposed changes include:

 

· raising the maximum allowed mileage for used on-road trucks; 

 

· reducing the required California registration period for
baseline trucks;

 

· reducing the emission reduction surplus period for on-road
small fleet retrofit projects;

 

· extending eligibility to trucks that previously operated as
drayage trucks; and

 

· increasing the VIP grant amount for on-road trucks equipped
with the cleanest engines.

 

A full description of the proposed changes is provided in
Mail-Out MSC10-50, located at this link:

http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1050/msc1050.pdf

 

The meeting will be held at the following time and place:

 

DATE:  Wednesday, December 8, 2010

 

TIME:  2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

 

PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency

State law (Health & Safety Code Section 44287) authorizes ARB to
revise the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines (Guidelines) when
necessary to improve the ability of the program to achieve its
goals.  When considering proposed revisions to the Guidelines,
this section also instructs ARB to work with the implementing air
districts and hold at least one public meeting to consider public
comments.  

 

This meeting will also include a teleconference call-in number
for those who wish to participate by phone.  The call-in number
is 866-917-4579 and the passcode is 7167787. 

 

If you have any questions or comments on the proposed changes,
please contact Peter Christensen at 916-322-1520 or

pchriste@arb.ca.gov.  Comments on the proposed changes must be
received no later than December 30, 2010, which is 45 days after
the Mail-Out date.

 

BACKGROUND: Since 1998, the Carl Moyer Program has filled a
critical niche in California’s strategy to achieve clean air. 
The Carl Moyer Program provides grant funding for the incremental
cost of cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and emission
reduction technologies. The Carl Moyer Program complements
California’s regulatory program by funding emission reductions
that are surplus (i.e., early and/or in excess of what is
required by regulation).
