		By posing more questions concerning the Clean Trucks Program, the FMC effectively delayed the collection of the CTF fee of $35.00 per 20’ container and 70.00 per 40’ container until the 13^th of February.  The collection of the fee is expected to raise around $1 million USD a day or about $1.6 billion over the next few years.  The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach say they desperately need the fee which will be used to finance the replacement of 19,000 polluting trucks.  The FMC also filed an injunction against certain components of the Clean Trucks Program, citing its anti-competitive nature. The injunction, which was filed in mid-December, should be ruled upon in early 2009.  Further compounding the issue, the California Air Resources Board has suspended proposition 1B funding to the ports truck program for the near future.  Proposition 1B would have provided grants, loans, and incentives to trucking-firms participating in the five-year program.
