Owners of diesel-fueled, heavy-duty trucks that are used to transport cargo to and from ports have until Sept. 30, 2009, to comply with a new state regulation requiring them to enter their operator information into a truck registry.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the regulation last year. The aim is to reduce truck emissions associated with the marine terminals in the state. Trucks manufactured in 1993 or earlier will be prohibited from entering the terminals and must be replaced with trucks that have newer, less polluting engines. In addition, trucks built between 1994-2003 would be required to install a special filter designed to cut emissions.
