2011 Large Fleet Reporting and Compliance Certification. 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. However, we encourage fleets to double check that their DOORS data is accurate. Also, the requirements to report added vehicles to ARB within 30 days, to label vehicles with Equipment Identification Numbers (EINs), and to limit idling to 5-minutes or less, remain in effect and are being enforced.
