CIAQC will provide more on the two regulations including the Low-Mileage Exemption for construction trucks when they become available.
In the meantime, CARB has recently released information about the Off-Road Equipment and Truck & Bus Regulations that contractors should be aware of. Please take a moment to review CARB's message below.
Dear Registered DOORS Fleet Contact:
This note is to inform fleets that ARB will not be enforcing the off-road regulation large fleet reporting and compliance certification deadline this year. The first large fleet annual reporting date and due date for a signed statement affirming compliance will instead be March 1, 2012. Section 2449(g)(2) of the off-road regulation that is currently in effect includes a requirement for large fleets to update their DOORS data and submit a compliance certification signed by a responsible official (now called a Responsible Official Affirmation of Reporting) by April 1, 2011, but the December 2010 amendments modified this requirement.
However, we do encourage you to double check that your DOORS data is accurate. We also remind fleets that the requirements to report added vehicles within 30 days to ARB, and to label vehicles with red and white Equipment Identification Numbers (EINs) remain in effect and are being enforced. Additionally, we thank those fleets who have already submitted their annual reporting and compliance certification for this year. Your diligence in submitting it is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions regarding off-road reporting, please contact the DOORS hotline at (877) 59-DOORS [(877) 593-6677] or by email at doors@arb.ca.gov. For general questions about diesel regulations, contact the Diesel hotline at (866) 6-DIESEL [(866) 634-3735].
