What's New List Serve Post Display

The Executive Officer of the Air Resources Board is proposing to
amend the list of equipment defects that substantially impair the
effectiveness of gasoline vapor recovery systems used in motor
vehicle refueling operations.  Health and Safety Code, Section
41960.2(c) requires the Executive Officer to adopt and
periodically update the Vapor Recovery Equipment Defects List,
which is incorporated by reference in California Code of
Regulations, Title 17, Section 94006(b).  Such defects are
sufficiently egregious to warrant the removal of the fueling
point or the entire station from service until the defect is
repaired.  

Written comments on the proposed regulatory amendments must be
received by December 14, 2015, in order to be considered by the
Executive Officer.  A public hearing is not currently scheduled;
however, you may request the Executive Officer to conduct a
public hearing.  The process for requesting a public hearing is
explained in the Written Comment Period and Submittal of Comments
section of this notice.  If a request for a public hearing is
received by November 30, 2015, the public hearing will be
conducted by the Executive Officer or his delegate pursuant to
the authority set forth in Heath and Saf. Code Sections 39515 and
39516.  The time, date, and place of the hearing will be provided
by separate notice.
