DERA Funding: AppropriationsCongressional Authorization:- Funding up to $100M annually through FY2016

- Diesel retrofit, repower & replacement projects- New authorization for clean diesel rebate program- However…

Past Funding Levels:- FY14 = $9M nationwide; $1.43M in Region 9

- RFP closed 6/17/14; announce projects in Fall 2014- FY13 = $9M nationwide; $1.35M in Region 9- FY12 = $30M nationwide; $5M in Region 9- FY11 = $50M nationwide; $8M in Region 9

DERA appropriations for FY15-16 TBD10

DERA Funding: Eligible Entities• Public Agencies w/ jurisdiction over transportation

or air quality– State, regional & local– Tribes – governments & intertribal consortia– Port authorities

• Nonprofit Organizations that:– Represent or provide pollution reduction, or– Educational services to persons, or– That own or operate diesel fleets, or– Have, as their principal purpose, the promotion of

transportation or air quality.11

DERA Funding: Eligible Strategies & EPA Cost-ShareNote: FY14 cost-share displayed; FY15-16 subject to change• Exhaust Control Technologies = 100%• Engine Upgrades = 40%• Cleaner Fuel Use = Incremental fuel cost vs. ULSD

– 0% stand alone; must be bundled w/ other eligible technologies

• Idle Reduction Technologies = 100% if combined w/exhaust control. 0% stand-alone, except for:– Locomotive Idle Reduction = 40%– Shorepower & Truck Stop Electrification = 25%

• Aerodynamic Technologies & Low Rolling Resistance Tires =100% if combined w/ exhaust control; 0% stand-alone

12

DERA Funding: Eligible Strategies & EPA Cost-ShareMUST retire an old engine & replace it with a cleaner one:• Engine Repower = 40%• Vehicle/Equipment Replacement:

– Nonroad = 25% replaced by model year 2013, or newer– On-Highway = 25% replaced by model year 2013, or newer– Drayage Trucks = 50% replaced by model year 2011, or newer

• EPA Verified Technologies– Verified List - http://epa.gov/cleandiesel/verification/verif-list.htm– Exhaust Retrofits - http://epa.gov/cleandiesel/technologies/retrofits.htm– SmartWay Technology – http://epa.gov/smartway/forpartners/technology.htm– California Air Resources Board (CARB) - Technology Verification Reciprocity

DERA Funding: Competitive Project Elements

• Strong Partnerships – clear financial commitments, lettersof support, etc.

• Community Benefits – identify counties and communitiesthat will benefit

• Community Engagement – demonstrate process forfostering community support, involvement and education

• Past Performance – demonstrate competence and successin implementing similar projects

EPA Leveraged

This project retrofitted, repowered and fueled heavy-dutyground support equipment (GSE) at 4 airports in California(i.e., SFO, OAK, SJC & LAX). Retrofitted 12 pieces of on-field equipment and 5 transit busses with DPFs, repowered9 aircraft pushback tugs with all-electric motors, andpurchased 123,480 gallons of B20 biodiesel.
