RE:  PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST:  Proposed Amendments to the Heavy-Duty
Engine and Vehicle Omnibus Regulation

Dear Dr. Cliff:

On behalf of my company, Inview Travel , and pursuant to Section
11346.8 of the California Government Code, I write to request the
California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) hold a public
hearing on its proposed amendments to the Heavy-Duty Engine and
Vehicle Omnibus (Omnibus) regulation, per the Board's notice posted
on August 1, 2023.  We would seek the hearing to be scheduled prior
to the close of the comment period or, alternatively, seek to have
the comment period extended beyond September 18 to accommodate a
public hearing.

As a Motorcoach Operator / Motorcoach Manufacturer / company which
supports the ongoing operation of motorcoaches, we have a vital
interest in CARB's proposed action to amend the Omnibus regulation,
and believe it is important for the Board to hold a public hearing
on this matter to fully assess both the proposed amendments and
their impact, as well as the steps leading to the development of
these amendments.

The Board's action appears to be predicated solely on heavy-duty
truck engine manufacturer product plans,  and we believe it
important for the Board to provide for the exchange of additional
information from the end users of these engines, in a public
forum.

Further, a public hearing is warranted to ensure the Board and
heavy-duty vehicle operators, such as the bus and motorcoach
industry, along with the public, fully understand the impact of the
proposed amendments on the end users of heavy-duty engines, and in
turn the impact on the state's transportation network and emissions
goals.
