The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has posted notification and reporting forms for the December 2013 regulatory advisory.

As specified in the December 2013 regulatory advisory, fleets are required to submit documentation to the ARB to qualify for temporary relief under each scenario they intend to use.

Fleets also need to provide evidence that they have made a 'good faith effort' to comply with the At-Berth Regulation.

These forms are available in the 'Forms and Tools' section of the ARB shore power website. Links to these pages have been provided below.
