Final Environmental Assessment for Proposed Amended Rule 1178 – Further Reductions of VOC Emissions from Storage Tanks at Petroleum Facilities

Amendments to Vapor Recovery Certification Procedures

The Amendments to the Vapor Recovery Certification Procedures are administrative in nature. The amendments remove imprecise and unnecessary existing language that does not provide clear instruction for CARB’s Executive Officer in approving or rejecting alternative test procedures. In addition the amendments correct small grammatical and typological errors and update the format of the certification procedures to make certification procedures easier to understand for everyone, and more accessible for people with certain visual or reading disabilities.

Project title: Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation    (SCH# 2021030340)

Project Description:     The ACF regulation is an integral element of CARB’s comprehensive strategy to achieve significant reductions of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases needed to attain federal and state ambient air quality standards, address harms resulting from climate change, meet California’s goals to decarbonize the transportation sector, and to protect the public health and welfare. The proposed regulation would primarily require certain fleets to deploy medium- and heavy-duty vehicle ZEVs starting in 2024, and would establish a clear end date to new medium- and heavy-duty internal combustion engine vehicle sales in 2036. This is the second of two public hearings on this item.
