Public Notice
Attention contractors:
To assist fleet owners with their compliance efforts, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff are conducting a series of statewide training seminars on the off-road diesel regulation. These twelve 4-hour long seminars will run July 31, 2008 through September 12, 2008 at varying locations throughout the State. The training seminars will provide an in depth presentation of the regulation and how to comply, a discussion of record keeping and vehicle labeling requirements, a review of exhaust retrofit products available, and information about grant opportunities. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to speak one-on-one with providers of exhaust retrofit devices.

A guide to the "types" of files commonly found on the Office Engineer web site
File Format Information | File Naming Conventions
File Format Information
.doc (.DOC) Files
Many Office Engineer text files use
the "hidden text" feature of Microsoft Word. Therefore, it
is recommended that only MS-Word be used to ensure full file
compatibility. MS-Word files are readable with MS-Word 97
or greater for Windows, or MS-Word 98 or greater for Macintosh.
Due to the usage of unique MS-Word features in some files,
they must be distributed in the .doc
(Word 97/98) file format. Office
Engineer is unable to provide these files in other text formats.
.fp5 (.FP5) Files
Some "indexes" are in FileMaker Pro
format. Only FileMaker Pro 5 or greater for Windows or FileMaker
Pro for Macintosh can read these files. Office Engineer is
unable to provide these files
in other database or text file formats.
.pdf (.PDF) Files
These are files that can be view
using the free Adobe
Acrobat Reader available
at Adobe's web site. Acrobat Reader is available for many
platforms including:
Macintosh and Windows.
.sit, .sea, .zip, .arc, .uu, .bin,
.hqx
Some of the files on the Engineering
Service Center and Office Engineer File Libraries sites are
"compressed" or "archived." These files can be decompressed,
de-archived, or decoded using Stuffit
Expander available free from Aladdin Systems web site
(Mac and Windows).
.tif, .TIF, .tiff, .TIFF Files
These are graphic files that can be
read with any application capable of reading "tiff" files,
such as:
- Macintosh workstations can use iPhoto or other options to view and print images
- Windows workstations can open TIFF files using software built into the Windows operating system, or one of many third-party applications
- TIF files can be printed on full-size (24 x 36 inch) plan sheets at local shops specializing in document imaging, drafting supply, blueprinting, or plotting. Check your local listings for vendors in your area.
