e. I certify that I have not applied for or received additional grant funds from any other public entity (including any air district, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), or any Federal agency) or public program for the equipment described in this application and I agree that, if in the future, I submit an application for or receive additional grant funds from other public entities that would be used for the same equipment, I will disclose the name of the funding source(s), the full grant amount(s) and purpose(s) of that additional funding.

i. I certify that neither the equipment owner nor the equipment described in this application has any outstanding (meaning “unpaid”) violations of ARB regulations.
j. I understand and agree that the Air District or its designees must conduct inspections of the equipment that is the subject of this application prior to an award in order to verify eligibility and compliance with requirements of the Goods Movement Program.
k. I certify that the proposed project is not required by any local, State or Federal rule or regulation; judicial order, or agreement, memorandum of understanding, contract, or other binding obligation that requires the project equipment to implement any portion of the project that would be funded by the Air District under the Goods Movement Program.
l. I certify that I have been provided information outlining equipment owner responsibilities to maintain eligibility for grant funds, including maintaining required vehicle registration and ownership; keeping equipment in legal operating condition, satisfying outstanding air pollution citations, complying with all ARB regulations, and reporting, replacing or repairing equipment that has been damaged, destroyed, stolen or had a change of usage from that described in this application.
m. I certify that I have attached documentation to this application showing that my organization carries at least the minimum insurance (e.g., Workers Compensation, Vehicle Liability, and Vehicle Physical Damage Insurance) as required by law for my fleet or company and that this insurance is held with a carrier rated A.M.

q. I certify that replacement equipment purchased as part of this Project must be used only within the state of California (meaning 100% travel within California) unless I selected the 90% in-state operation option or the project equipment is a line-haul locomotive funded at a reduced amount, and I will comply with the appropriate usage and vehicle registration requirements for the duration of the Project Term outlined in the grant agreement (e.g., fifteen (15) years for locomotive projects).
r. I certify that the replacement equipment purchased as part of this Project will operate a minimum of 50% of its usage in California’s major trade corridors for the duration of the Project Term outlined in the grant agreement. (map: http://www.arb.ca.gov/bonds/gmbond/docs/gmtradecorridors.jpg).
