OBD * USA - EPA Allows California to Require On-Board Diagnostics in 2010
The Environmental Protection Agency has granted California a waiver that will allow state to implement engine onboard diagnostics requirements for 2010 engines
CAL,USA -Transport Topics, by Eric Miller -Sept. 15, 2008: -- In a sweeping decision with possible national implications, the Environmental Protection Agency has granted California a waiver that will allow state environmental regulators to implement stringent new heavy-duty vehicle and engine onboard diagnostics requirements for 2010 engines and beyond... Robert Meyers, EPA’s principal deputy assistant administrator for air and radiation, announced Sept. 8 he had decided OBD requirements approved by the California Air Resources Board in 2005 would not “be less protective of public health and welfare than applicable federal standards”... A phone message seeking comment from Jed Mandel, president of the Engine Manufacturers Association, was not returned to Transport Topics by press time... However, in comments on the waiver request Mandel filed with EPA last year, the EMA said it did not oppose the waiver request but said it wanted EPA to wait until it finalized its own rule...
