Instead of receiving TIEs and VIEs through the process set forth in section 93130.11(a)(1) of this Control Measure, a fleet representative or terminal operator may request TIEs or VIEs to accommodate a new fleet or terminal, or when an anticipated growth in visits is expected for an existing fleet or terminal that is not reflected in the year's visits. This request shall be made in writing to CARB by December 1 for consideration in the following year. CARB will notify the requestor about CARB's approval or denial of the request in writing by February 1. When a request for TIEs and VIEs is made, the TIEs and VIEs shall be based on a percentage of the upcoming year's anticipated visits instead of the current year's visits. When CARB staff reviews the actual activity by the fleet or to a terminal that requested TIEs or VIEs, the number of TIEs or VIEs used must be less than or equal to the VIE and TIE rate multiplied by the fleet or terminal activity. Any visits not covered by a VIE or TIE will be noncompliant.
VIEs and TIEs expire on January 31 of the year after they are granted. VIEs can only be used at the port for which they are granted and by the fleet for which they are granted, and TIEs can only be used at the terminal for which they are granted.
VIEs and TIEs are limited in number and apply to incidents listed in section 93130.18 of this Control Measure. Fleet operators and terminal operators must report the use of a VIE or TIE with the vessel visit report in sections 93130.7(e) and 93130.9(d) of this Control Measure. VIEs and TIEs cannot be traded with other fleets, terminals, or any other entity.
