Currently, the EPA is not allowing any diesel powered vehicles procured by the federal government to be sold to the private sector. This means many small, local fire departments, municipalities, etc. can't take advantage of the federal surplus to supplement their fleets.

ASSHATS, ASSHATS ALL......

Federal Surplus Program participants,
I want to make this short and to the point. Some of you may already be aware of some issues relating to the availability of diesel trucks thru the Federal Surplus program. I want to share with you all we know so far, the steps we have taken, and steps we plan to take to resolve this issue.
Three weeks ago we were informed via the General Services Administration (GSA) that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) was not releasing vehicles with noncompliant engines outside the Department of Defense (DoD). The change in policy is based on an agreement Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC, formerly the U. S. Tank and Automotive Command) has with the U. S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that tactical vehicles can be manufactured under national security exemptions. Such exemptions are authorized in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 85.1708 and enable the manufacture and use of engines that do not meet emissions standards under the Clean Air Act. While some of these agreements may be as much as 20-25 years old, we have been told some have been renewed as recently as the spring of 2014. As we have learned, these exemptions prohibit distribution of the noncompliant engines outside the Department of Defense (DoD). I am going to simplify this a little, but basically under the EPA agreement, DoD will have to destroy all vehicles produced under the exemption if they are no longer used by DoD.
Since the issue first emerged, DLA has expanded the prohibition to pretty much everything with an engine.
We have had discussions with GSA and DLA staff. We have argued with DLA that:
-this change in policy will have a devastating effect on small cities and counties that rely on surplus equipment to provide services.
-we have also argued with DLA, that even though all DOD vehicles are exempt from EPA standards, the majority of those vehicles are already certified by the manufactures as meeting EPA standards.
As the State of Texas, we have sent a letter to the head of DLA expressing our concern about the impact this prohibition will have on our donees. We have also asked the GSA administrator to work with us in resolving this issue. DLA has told us so far that they will not destroy any vehicles until the issue is resolved. As details are emerging, we continue to work with other States in an effort to reverse this policy. As a next step, we will be contacting our members of Congress requesting their assistance in resolving this issue.

Marios Parpounas

Buy a couple, round up some retired jarheads, and go all Halls of Montezuma and Shores of Tripoli on Mexico and the mid east. Back them up with some rednecks. Tell them it's open season on Mexican food, and that anyone with a rag on his head hates the baby Jesus. It'll all be over in a week.
