Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with California Air Resources Board (ARB)

EPA's Diesel Retrofit Program signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) (PDF, 3 pages, 204KB, About PDF files) (June 2004) with the State of California Air Resources Board (ARB) for the Coordination and Reciprocity in Diesel Retrofit Device Verification. The MOA establishes reciprocity in verifications of hardware or device-based retrofits, and further reinforces EPA's and ARB's commitment to cooperate on the evaluation of retrofit technologies. This agreement commits EPA and ARB to work toward accepting particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) verification levels assigned by the other's verification programs. Additionally, as retrofit manufacturers initiate and conduct in-use testing, EPA and ARB agreed to coordinate this testing so data generated may satisfy the requirements of each program. This MOA is intended to expedite the verification and introduction of innovative emission reduction technologies. Additionally, this MOA should reduce the effort needed for retrofit technology manufacturers to complete verification.
