Air Resources Board (ARB) staff invites you to participate in
the
first set of public workshops to discuss proposed amendments for
the Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Requirements (LSI
Fleet Regulation).  The current LSI Fleet Regulation focuses on
reducing emissions
and keeping records for equipment types such as, most forklifts,
sweepers/scrubbers, industrial tow tractors, and airport ground
support equipment.  In-field agricultural equipment are exempt.
  
At the workshop, ARB staff will present initial near- and
long-term concepts to amend the LSI Fleet Regulation.  Near
term,
this includes aligning with the reporting and labeling
requirements similar to the existing In-Use Off-Road
Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation to both better characterize the
existing California LSI fleet, and to ensure compliance with the
existing LSI regulation.  Staff is also interested in hearing
from affected stakeholders on alternatives to achieving these
same objectives.
  
Key elements of the near-term LSI Fleet Regulation amendments
under consideration that will be discussed at these workshops
include:
 
•Propose reporting requirements for all LSI fleets     
•Propose equipment labeling requirements 
•Clarify regulatory language

Zero emission technologies are commercially available, already
in
use in many LSI fleets, while other LSI equipment operate in
duty
cycles where zero emission technologies may be viable.  Longer
term, a combination of incentives and regulatory 
approaches are under consideration to expand the deployment of
zero emission technologies in the off-road sector.
