Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
Regulated entities that own or operate any vehicles under
common ownership or control, or that broker to use vehicles with a GVWR greater
than 8,500 lbs. must report general information about the vehicle home base
where all on-road vehicles and off-road yard tractors are domiciled or assigned
as specified in section
2012.2(a), and
information about vehicle operating characteristics for vehicles domiciled or
assigned to each vehicle home base in California as specified in section
2012.2(b).
Vehicles that accrue a majority of their annual miles in California, but are
not assigned to a particular location in California, must be reported as part
of the headquarters or another location where the vehicles' operation is
managed.
(a) All regulated entities
must report the following information for each vehicle home base:
(1) Facility address including street name,
city, state, and ZIP code;
(2)
Facility type category as listed in section
2012(d)(8);
(3) Contact person name;
(4) Contact person email address;
(5) Identify whether the facility is owned or
leased by the entity;
(6) Identify
what type of fueling infrastructure is installed at the facility, by selecting
all of the fuel types dispensed at the facility as listed below in section
2012.2(a)(6)(A)
to 2012.2(a)(6)(G):
(A) Diesel;
(B) Gasoline;
(C) Natural gas;
(D) Electricity for on-road vehicle charging
(Level 2 or higher power);
(E)
Hydrogen;
(F) Other fuel;
or
(G) Not
applicable.
(7) Identify
what fueling infrastructure was initially installed on or after January 1, 2010
for the fueling options listed in section
2012.2(a)(6)(A)
to 2012.2(a)(6)(G);
(8) Identify what types of trailers you pull
if you have tractors assigned or domiciled at this facility:
(A) Van-dry;
(B) Van-reefer;
(C) Tanker;
(D) Flatbed;
(E) Shipping container;
(F) Low bed;
(G) Curtain side; or
(H) Other.
(b) For each vehicle home base with a vehicle
above 8,500 lbs. GVWR, report information specified in section
2012.2(b)(1) to
2012.2(b)(6) for
all vehicles above 8,500 lb. GVWR including off-road yard tractors. Responses
must be grouped by vehicle body type as listed in section
2012(d)(21),
weight class bin specified in section
2012(d)(24), and
fuel type listed in section
2012.2(a)(6)(A)
to 2012.2(a)(6)(G).
Alternatively, responses may be completed for each individual vehicle and
include the vehicle's body type, weight class bin, and fuel type. Separately
report vehicles dispatched under your brokerage authority, if applicable. Each
vehicle should only be counted once for each response. Additional guidance for
analysis periods used to respond to questions in this section is located in
2012.2(b)(7). Additional guidance on reusing vehicle operational information
between similar locations is located in 2012.2(b)(8). Vehicles dispatched under
your brokerage authority but not owned by your entity are not subject to
reporting information from sections
2012.2(b)(2)(A)
through 2012.2(b)(2)(E)
and additional guidance for brokers is located in 2012.2(b)(9).
(1) How many vehicles in each vehicle
group;
(2) The percent of the
vehicles in each vehicle group that have the operations listed in sections
2012.2(b)(2)(A)
through 2012.2(b)(2)(Q),
except section
2012.2(b)(2)(J),
represented by 90 percent of a vehicle's operating days for the analysis period
selected per 2012.2(b)(7). Respond by estimating the percent of the total
vehicles that apply to the category and rounding to the nearest 10 percent. For
yard tractors, sections
2012.2(b)(2)
(A-E) and (K) are optional. Do not include backup or non-operational vehicles
in calculating vehicle group mileage averages.
(A) Operate up to 100 average miles per
day;
(B) Operate up to 150 average
miles per day;
(C) Operate up to
200 average miles per day;
(D)
Operate up to 300 average miles per day;
(E) Operate more than 300 average miles per
day;
(F) Has a predictable usage
pattern. For example, refuse trucks or package delivery trucks typically have
predictable usage patterns because they tend to serve the same neighborhoods
each week;
(G) Fuels on-site as the
primary means of fueling;
(H)
Typically returns to this vehicle home base daily. For example, if a vehicle
returns to a personal residence nearly all days of the year and does not return
to the vehicle home base often, the vehicle would not be counted; however, a
vehicle that returns to the vehicle home base nightly for 9 out of 10 work
days, or always stays at home base, would be counted;
(I) Has onboard GPS or mileage
tracking;
(J) Whether most of the
vehicles in the group stay within approximately 50 miles of this facility on a
typical day (indicate either Yes or No);
(K) Tows a trailer more than 100 miles a
day;
(L) Commonly operates at its
weight limit;
(M) Is not registered
in California;
(N) Is regularly
parked at the facility more than 8 hours each day;
(O) The highest approximate percent of the
vehicle group that was dispatched at the same time over the last 3 years on the
behalf of a local, state or federal government to support an emergency
operation such as repairing or preventing damage to roads, buildings, terrain,
and infrastructure as a result of an earthquake, flood, storm, fire, terrorism,
or other infrequent acts of nature;
(P) Is equipped with all-wheel drive;
and
(Q) Are not being operated or
are used as backup vehicles.
(3) The average annual mileage for a typical
vehicle in this vehicle group. Respond by using one of the following that is
closest to the average miles (5,000 or less, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000,
50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, 90,000, 100,000, or more than
100,000).
(4) For vehicle types
represented in this group, identify how long you typically keep vehicles after
acquisition. Respond in number of years by using one of the following bins:
(Less than 4, 5-10, 11-15, 16-20, or more than 20).
(5) Identify whether your entity is the fleet
owner for this group of vehicles, or if they are dispatched under your
brokerage authority.
(6) Identify
the start and end date of the analysis period selected per section
2012.2(b)(7).
(7) Entities must either use annual or
quarterly data averaged for work days during the period selected to determine
responses or alternatively may select a different time period. A shorter
analysis period may be used if the respondent deems it more representative of
periods of high vehicle utilization when answering questions about typical
daily operation. For example, if an entity selects annual data to determine
vehicle daily mileage, average the annual mileage accrued by the number of
workdays that year. Otherwise, if an entity with seasonal workload fluctuations
determines that a week or month during the busy season is representative,
average the data records for that week or month when determining a response. If
an alternative analysis period is used, the respondent must be prepared to
describe their reasoning at the request of the Executive Officer per section
2012(e)(4).
(8) Responses for items in section
2012.2(b)(1)
through 2012.2(b)(5) for
a vehicle group at one location may be repeated for the same vehicle group at
another vehicle home base if the respondent that is familiar with the vehicle
operation determines the operation at that location is substantially similar to
another location.
(9) A broker is
only expected to provide information about vehicle usage that is dispatched
under contract with a fleet owner. For example, if a broker hires a truck to
move a load, only the miles driven under that contract should be considered for
the responses and the broker is not expected to have information about the
miles driven outside the contract, but may voluntarily report the information
if known.
