Section 487.05. Registration.

  The following procedure shall be used by covered fleet operators for registering in the clean fuel fleet program under this chapter:

(1)   Registration forms. Fleet operators operating in the covered area shall register with the department within 60 days of receipt of registration forms from the department. Fleet operators not receiving registration forms shall register with the department within 60 days after publication of the registration requirements in newspapers having a general circulation in the covered area counties. Registration shall be done on department registration forms or in a department approved electronic format. The information required for registration shall include all of the following:

(a) The name and address of the fleet operator.

(b) The names, addresses, telephone numbers and, if applicable, facsimile numbers of the persons designated to be responsible for the fleet.

(c) The address of each location at which 10 or more nonexempt vehicles are based; the number of covered fleet vehicles at each location that operate in the covered area; and the number of clean fuel fleet vehicles at each location that operate in the covered area.

(d) The number of fleet vehicles that operate in the covered area by make, model year, weight type, emission certification standard and fuel; for each fleet vehicle, the VIN, exempt status and any other information as specified in the registration form.

(e) The number of covered dual fuel or hybrid vehicles in the covered fleet, the VIN and annual total mileage of each vehicle in each fuel type, the annual number of miles each vehicle operates in the covered area in each fuel type and the annual fuel usage of each vehicle by fuel type.

(f) Any other information which may be necessary for implementation of the requirements of this chapter.

(2)   Additional trip record information. Fleet operators who claim that some of their nonexempt fleet vehicles operate outside the covered area shall submit, with their registrations, trip records for those vehicles with origination and destination points.

(3)   Trip profile calculations.

(a) Fleet operators who claim that some of their nonexempt fleet vehicles operating in the covered area are not capable of being centrally fueled shall also include, with their registrations, trip profile calculations for those vehicles to determine the number of vehicles that are capable of being centrally fueled. The trip profile calculations shall be based on the mileage information related to the trips of those vehicles, using the method in 40 CFR part 88 (58 FR 64679) or any other method approved by the department and EPA.

(b) Fleet operators who have submitted trip profile calculations for some of their nonexempt vehicles under par. (a) shall file new trip profile calculations for those vehicles with the department every 3 years, or when the fleet size increases or decreases by 20% or more, whichever occurs earlier.

(4)   Annual update. Starting in calendar year 1999, the covered fleet operator shall submit to the department by February 28 of each year an annual update of the fleet registration information listing the additions and deletions in the fleet and the vehicle mileages and fuel usage by the covered dual fuel or hybrid electric vehicles.

(5)   Subsequently covered fleets. The operator of a fleet which becomes subject to this chapter on or after September 1, 1998 shall register with the department within 60 days of the fleet qualifying as a covered fleet.
