(a) The owner of 75 or more regulated vehicles or pieces of regulated equipment, or any group of owners who elect to develop a combined fleet retrofit plan pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-32.7(b) that would include 75 or more regulated vehicles or pieces of regulated equipment, may propose to the Department a fleet averaging plan, in lieu of a fleet retrofit plan or a combined fleet retrofit plan, for the fleet or fleets affected, subject to (b) below.

(b) The owner or group of owners described in (a) may propose a fleet averaging plan, provided that the total net percent reductions in diesel particulate emissions under the proposed fleet averaging plan are greater than or equal to the estimated reductions in particulate emissions that would have been achieved by the owner or group of owners if a fleet retrofit plan or combined fleet retrofit plan were submitted and implemented for the regulated vehicles or regulated equipment, or both, as calculated pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-32.16. The owner or group of owners may propose to achieve particulate emissions reductions from any on-road diesel vehicle, off-road diesel equipment, regulated vehicle, or regulated equipment owned by the owner or group of owners, or the retirement of any of those vehicles or equipment, and shall submit the proposed fleet averaging plan to the Department in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:27-32.16.
