Clean Air Board Applauds EQB Action to Propose Idling Regulations Excerpt: Harrisburg, PA (October 16, 2007) – Today, the state Environmental Quality Board (EQB) proposed a regulation to limit idling by commercial diesel trucks and buses. The proposed regulation comes in response to a petition filed by the Clean Air Board of Central Pennsylvania in October 2006. Clean Air Board president, Rev. Jennifer McKenna, thanked the Board members for their action, noting “We applaud the Environmental Quality Board’s action. We believe a regulation limiting prolonged idling by diesel vehicles will protect the health of all Pennsylvanians, including young children and the elderly who suffer from respiratory problems.” The EQB action authorizes publication of the proposed regulation, public hearings, and a public comment period. A final vote will be taken by the EQB after public comments have been received.
