Purpose


The department is initiating rulemaking to adopt measures to reduce long-duration diesel engine idling. The department proposes to create new rule Chapter 62-285, F.A.C., Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction, and develop new Rule 62-285.420, F.A.C., Heavy-Duty Vehicle Idling Reduction, to accomplish this purpose. The effect of the rule would be to reduce emissions from long-duration diesel engine idling. The department will not be offering any rule proposals at the August 23 workshop. The purpose of this first workshop is to provide an opportunity for interested persons to provide comments and recommendations to the department at the outset of the proposed rule development project. Written comments may be submitted to the contact person listed below.
