The California Air Resources Board has scheduled the first of its series of public workshops to discuss its latest regulatory proposal to introduce control measure concepts<\/a> for transport refrigeration units (TRUs) operating at a wide variety of facilities and properties across the state.<\/p>\n

The workshop will take place April 13 at 10 am PST. It will be webcast at http:\/\/www.calepa.ca.gov\/broadcast<\/a>. Questions and comments will be accepted during the webcast by\u00a0 emailing\u00a0 sierrarm@calepa.ca.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CARB will request suggestions on how to reduce emissions related to stationary TRU operations and request comments on the concepts presented by staff.<\/p>\n

The proposed allowable operating time limit for TRUs would decrease over three phases:<\/p>\n
