In addition, staff is proposing amendments to Rule 431.2 - Sulfur Content of Liquid Fuels to reduce the sulfur content in diesel fuel.
Rules to be Rescheduled/Removed and Added
Rule 431.2 - Sulfur Content of Liquid Fuels
Proposed amendments to Rule 431.2 are being moved from To-Be-Determined to June 2000. The proposed amendments are designed to lower the sulfur content in diesel fuel, thereby enhancing the performance of after treatment technologies employed by diesel engines. Under the California Health & Safety Code Section 40447.6, the AQMD may, subject to the approval of the state board, adopt regulations that specify the composition of diesel fuel manufactured for sale in the District.
Rule 1168 - Emission Reductions from Adhesives (CM#99CTS-02E)
Proposed amendments to Rule 1168 are being moved from October 2000 to September 2000 because the technology research and rule development effort will be completed sooner than originally anticipated.
Rule 1186.1 – Alternative-Fuel Sweepers
Staff is proposing to adopt Rule 1186.1 in July 2000. Proposed Rule 1186.1 would require that all newly purchased (owned, leased, or contracted for) sweepers used in government street sweeping be alternate-fuel sweepers. Staff originally intended to develop these proposals with adoption of Rule 1990. Based on public comments staff is now proposing to rely on Proposed Rule 1186.1 to address diesel emissions from street sweeping operations. Under California Health & Safety Code Sections 40919 and 40447.5, the AQMD can require fleet operators of 15 or more vehicles to purchase cleaner burning vehicles.
Rule 1191 - Clean On-Road Light- and Medium-Duty Public Fleet Vehicles
Proposed Rule 1191 will require public fleet operators to purchase or lease low-emission gasoline or alternative fueled light- and medium-duty vehicles when adding or replacing vehicles in the fleet. Staff is proposing to adopt Rule 1191 in May 2000. Under Sections 40919 and 40447.5 of the Health and Safety Code, the AQMD can require fleet operators of 15 or more vehicles to purchase cleaner burning vehicles.
Rule 1192 - Clean On-Road Transit Buses
Proposed Rule 1192 will require public transit fleet operators to purchase or lease alternative-fuel buses when adding or replacing buses in their fleet. Staff is proposing to adopt Rule 1192 in June 2000. Under Section 40919 of the Health and Safety Code, the AQMD can require fleet operators of 15 or more vehicles to purchase cleaner burning vehicles.
Proposed Rule 1193 will require residential and commercial refuse collection fleet operators to purchase or lease alternative fuel vehicles when adding or replacing vehicles in the fleet. Staff is proposing to adopt Rule 1193 in May 2000. Under Sections 40919 and 40447.5 of the Health and Safety Code, the AQMD can require fleet operators of 15 or more vehicles to purchase cleaner burning vehicles.
Rules to be Rescheduled/Removed and Added (cont.)
Rule 1194 - Commercial Airport Ground Access
Proposed Rule 1194 will require commercial airport ground access (taxi, limousine, shuttle service) fleet operators to purchase or lease alternative-fuel vehicles when adding or replacing vehicles in the fleet. Staff is proposing to adopt Rule 1194 in July, 2000. Under Sections 40919 and 40447.5 of the Health and Safety Code, the AQMD can require fleet operators of 15 or more vehicles to purchase cleaner burning vehicles.
Rule 1195 - Clean On-Road School Buses
Proposed Rule 1195 will require public school bus fleet operators to purchase or lease low-emission buses when adding or replacing vehicles in the fleet. Staff is proposing to adopt Rule 1195 in July 2000. Under Sections 40919 and 40447.5 of the Health and Safety Code, the AQMD can require fleet operators of 15 or more vehicles to purchase cleaner burning vehicles.
Rule 1196 - Clean On-Road Heavy-Duty Public Fleet Vehicles

Reg. XIII
New Source Review
The proposed amendments will separate Best Available Control Technology (BACT) into Lowest Achievable Emissions Rate (LAER) for federal major sources and state BACT for minor sources. Currently, LAER is required for emission increases from all sources, including small businesses. The proposed amendment will allow for cost considerations for minor sources and small businesses. No emissions changes are expected as a result of the amendment.
Anupom Ganguli - 909.396.3185 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
Proposed amendments will address any remaining EPA concerns for approval of Rule 518.2 as noticed in the Federal Register in late 1999, depending on the final action taken by EPA.

Reg. IV, XI and
XIV Rules
Various rule amendments needed to achieve AQMP emission reduction requirements and other requirements of state and federal law. Also, various Regulation XIV rules will be evaluated for possible command-and-control rules to reduce toxic emissions as part of the Air Toxics Control Plan (ATCP).
Reg. XIII
New Source Review
Proposed revisions may provide additional flexibility to new sources in the AQMD, including changes consistent with the anticipated changes in the federal NSR regulations and NSR policies, due to be finalized in 2000. The proposal may also address the issue of potential future shortfalls in NOx emission credits with respect to the state law requirement of "no net emission increase" from new permitted sources within the AQMD, and potential conversion from daily to monthly emission cap.
