arbcombo -- The 2010 Truck Regulations Electronic Reporting Form Is Now Available

The 2010 Excel spreadsheet reporting form is now available for
fleets to enter their vehicle information for the Truck and Bus
Regulation and for Tractor Trailer Greenhouse Gas Regulation.

This spreadsheet allows the user to enter fleet information for
the initial 2010 reporting required for the Truck and Bus
regulation and the Tractor/Trailer Greenhouse Gas regulation.
There are no fees associated with reporting. The spreadsheet is
designed to allow fleets to enter the appropriate information and
to upload the data on the internet by using the Truck Regulation,
Upload, and Compliance Reporting System (TRUCRS) online portal
before the reporting deadlines. The spreadsheet is available at:
www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/reporting.htm

Truck and Bus Regulation

The regulation requires that fleets that qualify for
agricultural vehicle provisions and fleets with two engine street
sweepers with Tier 0 auxiliary engines to report information
about their vehicles by March 31, 2010. The regulation applies
only to diesel trucks and buses in these fleets with a gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 lbs. The Air
Resources Board is making amendments to the regulation that would
not require any other fleets to report until January 1, 2011.

Tractor/Trailer Greenhouse Gas Regulation

The regulation applies to 53' or longer box-type trailers (dry
van and refrigerated van) and tractors that pull them. Fleets
with 21 or more box-type trailers may take advantage of a
phase-in option by reporting trailer information. Fleets with 20
or fewer box type trailers have until July 1, 2012 to report and
a different spreadsheet will be available in the future for that
purpose.

Additionally, the regulation currently requires all 2011 model
year tractors that pull 53' or longer box-type trailers and all
2011 model year 53' or longer box-type trailers to be Smartway
certified or be retrofit to comply. Fleets that have 2011 model
year equipment and qualify for the short-haul or local-haul
exemptions must report information about their 2011 model year
equipment now. Reporting of other tractors and trailers within
the fleet is not required at this time.
