Background
Staff held workshops in June and July regarding proposed
amendments to the Truck and Bus, Off-Road, and Drayage Truck
regulations. At the workshops, stakeholders requested additional
time to review and comment on the following:
• Details of planned emissions inventory updates for trucks and
off-road vehicles,
• Specific draft regulatory language,
• ARB's revised PM2.5 mortality report, draft of which will be
released later this summer, and
• Proposed changes to the Drayage Truck Regulation.
Please be aware that although the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse
Gas Emission Reduction Regulation (tractor-trailer GHG
regulation) was discussed at the June/July workshops, staff will
not be taking comments on this regulation during the upcoming
August/September workshops.
The Truck and Bus, Off-Road, and Drayage Truck Regulations are
intended to reduce toxic and smog-forming emissions from trucks,
buses, and off-road vehicles. Reducing such emissions is
necessary to meet federally imposed clean air standards and to
reduce the adverse health effects from air pollution throughout
the state. The Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation is intended to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tractor-trailers traveling
California's roadways.
While staff is proposing to amend several elements of the truck
and bus and off-road regulations, many provisions are in effect
and not being considered for amendment. These include:
• Off-road reporting and labeling requirements;
• Off-road idling limits and sales disclosure requirements;
• Truck and bus sales and disclosure requirements; and
• Existing requirements for trucks and buses utilizing the
agricultural vehicle provisions and some two engine street
sweepers.
However, due to the pending amendments to the truck and bus and
off-road regulations, several requirements have been postponed:
• On February 11, 2010, ARB issued a delay of the off-road
regulation's retrofit and turnover requirements pending further
notice.
• The truck and bus regulation's reporting for early credits was
originally required by March 31, 2010, but has been delayed until
early 2011. Also, the truck and bus retrofit and turnover
requirements (scheduled to begin January 1, 2011) will also be
extended by several months.
