HOW TO MEET FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS REGULATIONS FOR AFTERMARKET PARTS

An increasing number of specialty-equipment companies are facing the growing complexity of complying with emissions-related parts requirements, particularly when governed by federal and California environmental regulations. Questions often arise about the compliance process, how to handle "cease-and-desist" letters and how to avoid penalties and fines when selling emissions-related products in all 50 states.

SEMA will assemble government officials from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board for a SEMA Show seminar to help create user-friendly solutions to these concerns. Panelists will address a wide range of emissions-compliance questions following an update on the current state of regulatory actions and directions.

Moderated by SEMA technical consultant and industry veteran Jim McFarland, virtually any manufacturer/supplier of emissions-related parts or systems will benefit from this informative seminar.
