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.  State law authorizes the Air Resources Board to
revise the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines when necessary to
improve the ability of the program to achieve its goals.  In
particular, as required by statute, the Board updates the
cost-effectiveness limit and capital recovery factors annually.
