Our company has done our best to comply with regulations that keep
changing constantly.  We have had to deal with fines when we
thought we were compliant.  We recently purchased a PM Filter
Upgrade for one our trucks at the end of the 2013 year, so that we
would be compliant on the January 2014 deadline date and not incur
an additional fine.  Then we come to find out, one week after we
spent $15,000 on that filter,taking out a loan to be able to do it,
that the requirement was changed and it will now be January 2015. 
Or maybe even January 2016?? Depending on what the Air Resources
Board decides at the upcoming meeting next week.  We wanted to send
company representatives to this meeting and have been watching the
Board website to try to find out when the meeting was to be held,
but could find nothing until just recently. 
It puts financial hardships on small companies such as ours, when
the rules are constantly changing and we are not always notified in
a timely manner.  It would take a dedicated full time person to
follow all of the requirements and changes that just your state
organization imposes on the businesses of California.
Please consider making your decisions in a timely manner and
sticking to those decisions, so that businesses owners are not
confused as to how to comply with the regulations.  Thank you for
your time.
