Public comment period begins for rulemaking on government fleets reporting
Ecology has started rulemaking to consider requiring government agencies and others to submit a one-time report on their operations and fleets of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. This is separate from Executive Order 21-04.
The rulemaking will determine:
- Who is covered: fleet owners, large businesses, government agencies, municipalities, brokers, transit agencies, etc.;
- How many vehicles must be in a fleet to be covered by this new requirement; and
- When the report is due.
This information would enable Ecology to develop a statewide strategy to reduce emissions from existing fleets and better assess infrastructure needs.
Proposed rulemaking timeline:
January 18, 2022 | Announced rulemaking (filed CR-101 form) |
Winter–Spring 2022 | Hold stakeholder meetings Develop and prepare rule language |
