icp -- Independent Contractor Approval Program List Update
Posted: 06 Aug 2014 13:42:19
The Air Resources Board (ARB) has issued two new Executive Orders (EO) approving Independent Contractors for additional test methods. On March 21, 2014, ARB issued EO I-14-001 granting Air Science Technologies, Incorporated an approval to perform Visible Emissions Evaluation (VEE) through June 30, 2015. On June 30, 2014, ARB issued EO I-14-033 granting Environmental Technical Services, LLC approvals to perform ARB Test Methods 5 and 100 for NOX through June 30, 2016. The list of approved Independent Contractors has been updated and may be accessed on the webpage: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ba/icp/currenteo.pdf. If an Independent Contractor that you are interested in does not appear on the list of approved Independent Contractors, please contact Kathryn Gugeler at 916-322-0221 or via email at kgugeler@arb.ca.gov, and she will inform you of the contractor's current status. Thank you for your interest in this program. Background: ARB grants approvals to Independent Contractors to perform any published test methods used for compliance purposes in California, as an alternative to these tests being performed by ARB staff. The Independent Contractor must be able to perform both the sampling and the analysis in-house, and neither may be subcontracted to an outside contractor. Approvals are granted based on the Independent Contractor's ability to meet general program criteria and the specific requirements of the individual test method requested. ARB does not require that testing contractors be approved prior to conducting emissions testing in California. Additional information on the Independent Contractor Program is accessible at ARB's Independent Contractor website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ba/icp/icp.htm. California is in a drought emergency.
