The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) invites you to
participate in the kickoff public workshop for the 2013 Update of
the AB 32 Scoping Plan on June 13, 2013 in Sacramento. The
workshop is open to all interested parties. In addition, the
workshop will be webcasted for those unable to attend in person
and can be accessed the day of the workshop at the link provided
below.

DATE: Thursday, June 13, 2013

TIME: 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

LOCATION: Cal/EPA HQ Building, Byron Sher Auditorium, 1001 "I"
Street, Sacramento

DIRECTIONS: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPABldg/location.htm

WEBCAST LINK: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1

Agenda and presentation materials will be posted prior to the
workshop at the following location:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/meetings/meetings.htm

Additional regional workshops are being planned for Diamond Bar,
Fresno, and San Francisco in the June/July timeframe. Details
will follow shortly.

What is the 2013 Update to AB 32 Scoping Plan?
As required by AB 32, the first Scoping Plan was adopted in 2008.
This Plan must be updated every five years. The 2013 Update to
the Scoping Plan will define ARB's climate change priorities for
the next five years and lay the groundwork to start the
transition to achieve post-2020 goals. The 2013 Update will
highlight California's progress toward meeting the "near-term"
2020 GHG emission reduction goals defined in the original 2008
Scoping Plan. It will also evaluate how to align the State's
"longer-term" GHG reduction strategies with other State policy
priorities, such as for water, waste, natural resources,
agriculture, clean energy, transportation and land use.

hdghg -- New Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas Regulation Compliance Tool for Truck Drivers and Shippers Now Available Online

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has developed a website
to help truck drivers and freight shippers determine the
compliance requirements of individual 53-foot box trailers with
California's Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas Regulation
(Regulation). The website will report whether a trailer has been
registered with CARB for an extension or an exemption so that
they may operate in California without aerodynamic retrofits.
Users will be able to access the website from any
internet-enabled device (including computers, mobile phones, or
tablets) to search for a trailer by VIN or license plate number.
This website will be most helpful for users in the field that
need to know whether a trailer currently not equipped with
aerodynamic devices may be operated legally in California at a
given point in time.

Trailers that are not retrofitted and are not reported on the
website may still be compliant with the regulation if the
trailer:
-Is traveling empty
-Is being pulled by tractors registered with CARB as short
haul or local haul
-Has a pass or is being pulled by a tractor with a pass (a
copy will be with the driver or on the trailer)
-Is a 2003-2009 reefer with a 2003 or newer reefer engine

Users seeking compliance information on trailers meeting any of
the above criteria will not be able to use the results of this
website, and will have to visually confirm a trailer's compliance
status.

The website may be accessed at arb.ca.gov/ghgcheck.
To assist users with the compliance tool, a help page is included
at
https://ssl.arb.ca.gov/ssltrucrs/trucrs_reporting/mobile/index.php?page=help.

Background

The Regulation applies to 53-foot or longer dry van or
refrigerated van box-type trailers and the tractors that pull
them on California highways. The Regulation requires
tractor-trailers operating in California to use tractors and
box-type trailers that utilize certain aerodynamic equipment and
low rolling resistance tires, as verified by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay program, to meet
specified fuel efficiency improvements. All affected trailers
must comply with the aerodynamic requirements by January 1, 2013,
unless they were registered for extensions and exemptions.
Because owners of trailers, motor carriers, truck drivers,
California-based shippers, and California-based brokers are all
responsible for complying with the regulation, this tool was
developed to help them determine which trailers they can legally
operate in California.

For further information about the regulation, training, outreach
efforts, compliance tool, or the full text of the Regulation,
please visit http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/hdghg/hdghg.htm or call
866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735), or email us at
8666diesel@arb.ca.gov.
