I have owned my own construction business in San Diego County for
30 years and am now facing some of the most difficult economic
times that I can remember.  ALL of my off-road equipment is Tier
One and I am faced with phasing out my Backhoes long before their
useful life is over.  Though I am a Small Fleet and my compliance
dates are more lienient than others, it will be difficult if not
impossible to meet the guidelines and still be able to afford to be
in business.  We appeciate the proposal to extend double-credit for
early PM retrofit, but those devices are not yet proven to be safe
or economically feasible at this point.  I urge CARB to please DO
MORE!  There are still too many flaws and unclarified questions
that must be answered!  Please don't so force many of us California
Contractors out of business during this down turn in the economy! 
I appreciate your consideration and time.
