Background
By notice posted on the CARB's webpage on August 1, 2023, and published in the August 4, 2023, California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2023, Number 31-Z), CARB announced a public comment period for the Proposed Amendments to the Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Omnibus Regulation. CARB subsequently received several requests for a public hearing, and CARB’s Executive Officer (EO) conducted a hearing on October 20, 2023, to consider approving the proposed amendments, under the authority delegated to the EO pursuant to Resolution 23-15.
CARB staff has determined that additional modifications to the initially proposed amendments are appropriate and has developed the proposed modifications (15-Day Changes) as stated below in the “Summary of Proposed Modifications” section of the 15-Day Notice. The Appendices showing the specific proposed modifications to the text of the proposed regulation being made with these 15-Day Changes are shown in multiple ways in order to meet the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) while also posting alternate/complementary versions that provide increased accessibility to view the modifications in multiple ways.
The proposed modified regulatory language is available for public comment for a period of at least 15 days as required by Government Code section 11346.8. To be considered by the EO, written comments must be submitted by December 21, 2023. A description of modifications made to the originally proposed regulatory text and test procedures can be found in the 15-Day Notice.
