Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Operators of
				  forklift and/or non-forklift fleets shall first determine the size of their
				  fleets, using the equipment definitions in section
				  2775. Equipment meeting the
				  boneyard and retired equipment definitions shall not be included in fleet size
				  determinations. Except as provided in subsections (c), (d), (e), and (f),
				  operators of medium and large forklift fleets and operators of non-forklift
				  fleets with more than three pieces of equipment shall comply with the fleet
				  average emission level (FAEL) standards in Table 2 by the specified compliance
				  dates.

(1) Fleet
				  operators subject to the fleet average provisions shall include in their fleet
				  average calculations any piece of equipment that the operator has rented or
				  leased or reasonably expects to rent or lease for a period of one year or
				  more.
(2) Fleet operators may
				  exclude from the fleet average calculation uncontrolled 2003 and 2004 model
				  year rental equipment (if the equipment is rented for a period of less than one
				  year) until January 1, 2010.
(3) In
				  addition to the provisions of subsection (a)(2) above, fleet operators may
				  exclude from the fleet average calculation rental or leased equipment if:
(A) the rental or lease is for a period of
				  less than one year;
(B) the rental
				  or lease component comprises no more than 20 percent of the operator's
				  equipment at any time; and
(C) the
				  equipment rented or leased during the period from January 1, 2009, through
				  December 31, 2010, is controlled to a 4.0 g/kW-hr (3.0 g/bhp-hr) standard or
				  better and equipment rented or leased on or after January 1, 2011, is
				  controlled to a 2.7 g/kW-hr (2.0 g/bhp-hr) standard or
				  better.
(4) Fleet
				  operators shall comply with the applicable fleet average standard in Table 2
				  with the following exceptions:
(A) if through
				  business expansion, a fleet meets the definition of a larger size category, the
				  fleet may continue to comply with the applicable fleet standard for the initial
				  size category until the subsequent compliance date, at which time the fleet
				  must meet the applicable fleet standard for the new fleet size category;
				  or
(B) if through retirement or
				  other fleet size reduction mechanism the fleet would otherwise be required to
				  comply with a less stringent fleet standard, then the less stringent fleet
				  standard becomes effective immediately.
(5) Beginning June 30, 2017, and until June
				  30, 2023, operators must maintain records for and report all equipment subject
				  to a FAEL standard in accordance with section
				  2775.2, subsection (a).
(6) Beginning June 30, 2017, and until June
				  30, 2023, operators must label each piece of equipment subject to a FAEL
				  standard with its equipment identification number (EIN) in accordance with
				  section 2775.2, subsection (b). For zero
				  emission equipment, the operator is only required to label such equipment if
				  the inclusion of the equipment in the operator's fleet average is necessary to
				  comply with the applicable FAEL standard. That is, if a fleet complies with its
				  FAEL standard without needing to account for one or more pieces of zero
				  emission equipment, those pieces of equipment are not required to be
				  labeled.
