Update on Proposed OHRV Regulatory Amendments

California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Commission Palmdale, California March 1, 2019

Why Does CARB Develop Regulations?

  • California has the worst air quality in the

nation

  • We need emission reductions to meet

federal air quality standards for ozone

  • State Implementation Plan (SIP) outlines

compliance strategy, including significant reductions from various mobile sources

Red Sticker Project Background

  • 2013 OHRV evaporative emissions control rule
  • Board directed staff to conduct assessment of Red Sticker category
  • Red Sticker assessment components
  • Population evaluation
  • Emissions testing
  • Activity survey
  • Stakeholder outreach

Red Sticker Program

ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF PROGRAM ASSESSMENT FINDINGS

Delay 1998 exhaust standards to ensure OHV availability Ease transition to cleaner technology Limit summertime exhaust emissions from OHVs in ozone non-attainment areas Over 3 times as many Green Sticker models available today than in 1998 Red Sticker OHVs are operated in

  • zone non-attainment areas

during the summer Allow riders to practice for competitive events on public land Red Sticker OHMCs are predominately competition vehicles used for recreation

Technology has developed, but transition to Green Sticker has not occurred as anticipated

CARB Priorities For A Regulatory Proposal

  • 1. Reduce emissions
  • Eliminate recreational use of uncontrolled vehicles
  • Realize expected emission benefits
  • Set stage for future emission reductions
  • 2. Eliminate inconsistency with federal rules
  • 3. Reduce enforcement burden of existing Red Sticker program
  • 4. Reduce emissions while minimizing impact to vehicle availability
  • 5. Accelerate development and adoption of zero-emissions OHRV

Proposal Development

Develop Proposal Solicit Feedback from Stakeholders Evaluate Alternatives / Revise Proposal Assess Costs and Environmental Benefits

  • Initial proposal - May 2018
  • Multiple meetings with stakeholders
  • Manufacturers
  • Dealers
  • OHV Division Staff
  • DMV
  • Revised proposal - October 2018
  • Further revisions based on

stakeholder input

Feedback Received – Manufacturers/Dealers

  • Challenges in meeting evaporative standards
  • Model availability
  • Incorporate ATVs, rather than just motorcycles
  • Alternative certification pathways
  • Exempt youth models from exhaust standards
  • ZEV incentives for manufacturers
  • Allow additional time for redesign cycle

Key Elements of Proposed Regulation

  • Harmonize with U.S. EPA evaporative

standards for OHMC in 2020

  • End certification of new Red Sticker

models starting in 2022

  • Establish interim standards for Red

Sticker OHMCs from 2022 - 2028

  • Lift seasonal riding restrictions on

January 1, 2025

Key Updates to the Proposal

  • Includes transitional evaporative standards
  • Harmonizes with U.S. EPA standards for OHMC through 2027
  • Flexible certification provisions
  • Strengthens fleet averaging
  • Zero emissions credit provisions

What the Proposal Will Do

  • Allow green sticker OHMCs to be

available in 2020

  • End certification of new red sticker

vehicles in 2022

  • Lift seasonal riding restrictions in

2025

  • Transition with 50-state standard
  • Promote cleaner OHMCs in 2027+

What the Proposal will NOT do

  • Remove or further restrict existing red

sticker vehicles

  • Eliminate future sales of competition

vehicles

  • Force OHMC manufacturers out of the

California market

Need for Competition Identification

  • Need to identify competition

vehicles

  • May require statutory changes
  • CARB staff will assist as needed
  • Ongoing discussion and outreach
