California Air Resources Board

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites interested parties to submit comments on the proposed targeted amendments to the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation to implement the requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 1594 (Garcia, Chapter 585, Statutes of 2023). Staff is seeking feedback from all interested stakeholders including utility fleet owners.   Staff presented initial topics at a public workshop on March 25th. The presentation materials are available on the Advanced Clean Fleets | California Air Resources Board webpage.  Potential amendments include; the definition of public agency utility and utility-specialized vehicles, necessary changes to the Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Purchase & Daily Usage exemptions for defined public agency utilities to allow replacements without regard to the model year of the vehicle being replaced and necessary changes to the Daily Usage exemption to allow for usage data that does not rely on the lowest mileage reading and exclude the highest usage days. Staff will consider comments received at the workshop and on this comment docket to further develop regulatory proposals. This docket will remain open for public comment until December 31, 2024.
