The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) has approved the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation. Large entities operating or dispatching vehicles with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 8,500 lbs. (such as trucks, buses, and vans) must report by April 1, 2021, if they meet any of the criteria below.
Who must report
Large entities (fleet owners, businesses, government agencies, municipalities, brokers, etc.) will report information about their vehicles over 8,500 lbs. GVWR (hereafter referred to as “vehicle”) if in 2019 they operated a facility in California and meet any of the following criteria:
- Had gross annual revenues greater than $50 million in the U.S. for the 2019 tax year, including revenues from all subsidiaries, subdivisions, or branches, and had one or more vehicles under common ownership or control that were operated in California in 2019; or
- Any fleet owner in the 2019 calendar year that had 50 or more vehicles under common ownership or control; or
- Any broker or entity that dispatched 50 or more vehicles into or throughout California, in the 2019 calendar year; or
- Any California government agency including all state and local municipalities that had one or more vehicles that were operated in California in 2019; or
- Any federal government agency that had one or more vehicles that were operated in California in 2019.
Reporting is not required for K-12 school bus fleets, transit vehicles, military tactical vehicles, vehicles awaiting sale, nor emergency vehicles as defined in section 2012(c) of the regulation.
What information needs to be reported
Affected entities will need to report general entity information, home-base locations, and information about their vehicles (including off-road yard trucks) and how the vehicles are operated. Vehicle operation includes information about vehicle body types, daily miles traveled, where they are fueled, and other usage characteristics.
You can access training videos, reporting instructions, a reporting guidance document, and the reporting form at the Large Entity One-Time Reporting website.
