Purpose


The department proposes to create new Rule 62-285.421, F.A.C., Clean Diesel Rebate Program, to assist persons affected by previously adopted Rule 62-285.420, F.A.C., Heavy-Duty Vehicle Idling Reduction. The rule would establish a process for the distribution of rebate funds to owners of qualifying Class 8 trucks who have purchased an auxiliary power unit in the year 2009 or later from funding initially provided by the Environmental Protection Agency’s State Clean Diesel Grant Program. A copy of the form to be proposed for applying for the rebate is available on the department’s website at www.dep.state.fl.us/air/rules/CleanDieselRebate.htm. Comments and recommendations on the rule or form may be provided at the October 14 workshop or submitted to Ms. Kelly Stevens at (850)921-9550, or kelly.stevens@dep.state.fl.us.
