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 Air Resources Board 7th Floor, Room 720 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 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).
