Subject: Additional information request to support final action on ARB Incentive Report

Carol - Thank you for your prompt response to our request for information copied below. After reviewing it, we are 

requesting a few more inputs that we believe are needed for the Moyer Guidelines’ “Estimated Annual Emissions by 

Pollutant” equation and in the Prop 1B “Emission Benefits Calculators.” Please provide the following, and/or other 

information used in these calculations: 

- For 2005 Moyer Guideline projects (S-1301 and C-2570): Provide the “equipment type” needed to look up the 

“load factor” in Table B-13 of the guidelines. 

- For 2011 Moyer Guideline project (C-14205): State if the engine is stationary or portable, and if portable, 

provide the fleet information needed to use the “Fleet Rule Implementation Charts.” 

- For Prop 1B projects: Provide the annual VMT of the existing and replacement equipment in the SJV. 

We would appreciate if you could respond by December 4. Please let us know if you have questions regarding our 

request. 

Thanks.

Hi Carol; 

We received the attached comments during our comment period on our proposed approval of the ARB Incentive 

Report, stating “based on the information presented in the Emission Reduction Report, citizens would not even 

be able to obtain the information necessary to quantify and verify emission reductions.” The comment cites the 

information needed for stationary and portable agricultural engines as an example. 

To help us to respond to this comment, we are requesting information for the following 11 projects, which 

represent a cross section of the different categories: 

From Appendix H.1
