The Portable Equipment Registration Program is CARB’s voluntary program allowing owners and operators of portable engines and equipment to operate at locations throughout California without obtaining individual permits for each air district. However, paperwork and regular reporting can undercut the convenience of participating in the program. Thankfully, Be CARB Compliant can help you handle this task with our PERP services.
The Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP) is designed to streamline the registration and operation of portable engines and equipment units across California. This voluntary program allows operators to register their portable equipment once with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) instead of obtaining permits from each of the state’s 35 air districts. PERP aims to reduce the administrative burden on businesses while ensuring compliance with air quality regulations.
However, participating in PERP involves navigating complex regulations and ensuring that all registration, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements are met. Businesses must be aware of specific eligibility criteria, the definition of portable equipment, and the residency time requirements. Additionally, understanding the application process, fee structure, and inspection requirements can be challenging, especially for companies with large fleets or varied equipment types.
Be CARB Compliant offers a comprehensive solution to these challenges. Our team of experts will guide you through the PERP registration process, manage compliance with all regulatory requirements, and handle the necessary documentation and reporting. By partnering with us, you can ensure your portable equipment operates legally throughout California, avoiding fines and operational disruptions while contributing to cleaner air.
