Accounting for additional sources of emissions in the design certification method (see background below) 2. Suggestions for modifications to May 2016 ARB draft proposal for amendments to the SORE evaporative emissions regulation 3. 2014-2015 validation study results The agenda and conference call information will be sent to working group members once the date and time of the July 2016 meeting are set. Suggestions for agenda items may be sent to Angus MacPherson at angus.macpherson@arb.ca.gov or Christopher Dilbeck at christopher.dilbeck@arb.ca.gov. Background: The primary purpose of the working group is to discuss emissions mitigation opportunities related to small off-road engines (SORE). The high noncompliance rate and high average emissions of design-certified equipment in the validation study have highlighted the need to capture all sources of evaporative emissions in the design certification method. Working group member suggestions for ways to limit emissions from currently unquantified emission sources such as carburetors and connections will help to ensure design-certified equipment will comply with diurnal emission standards.
