Background

Historically, only about one third of the products certified by CARB have been assessed a certification fee.  Effective June 27, 2018, new legislation passed by the California legislature and signed by the Governor (SB 854) allows CARB to adopt a schedule of fees for off-road or nonvehicular engines and equipment, aftermarket parts, and emissions control components sold in the state.  This workshop is part of the regulatory development process to establish the fees and process.  Your participation is welcome.
