arbcombo -- Low Carbon Transportation: A Crucial Link to Economic and National Security

We are pleased to announce the next webcast
Chair's Lecture Series on:

Low Carbon Transportation: A Crucial Link to Economic and
National Security.


David L. Greene, Ph.D., Senior Fellow,
Howard H. Baker Jr., Center for Public Policy,
University of Tennessee, and
Corporate Fellow, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 12 - Noon PDT
Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

Petroleum dependence is a serious economic and national security
problem for the U.S. High levels of consumption and imports,
coupled with the use of monopoly power in global oil markets and
a historical lack of alternatives, have imposed significant costs
on the U.S. economy.

Today, direct economic costs from petroleum dependence are higher
than they were during the oil embargoes of the 1970s and are
estimated to have exceeded $2 trillion since 2005. These costs
represent wealth transfer out of the country and lost economic
output due to monopoly pricing and price spikes. (They do not
account for indirect costs related to congestion, defense, or
health impacts).

Reducing petroleum dependence by transitioning to a low carbon
transportation system can generate hundreds of billions of
dollars annually in economic and national security benefits for
the U.S. By greatly increasing energy efficiency and
substituting hydrogen, electricity and biofuels produced with low
net greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. can develop a sustainable
and diverse transportation system while fostering a crucial link
to economic and national security.

arbcombo -- ARB is providing additional information on corporate associations and consolidated entity accounts under the Cap-and-Trade Program

Guidance documents on corporate associations and consolidated
entity accounts, including a Consolidated Entity Account Form,

This information is available at the following website:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/markettrackingsystem/markettrackingsystem.htm.
The guidance on corporate associations will aid in the submittal
of the information on the Compliance Instrument Tracking System

indicate how the purchase and holding limits will be shared
between itself and the consolidated entity account and other
opt-outs in the direct corporate association.

The processing of the Consolidated Entity Account Forms will not
impact the processing and issuance of entity accounts in the
CITSS.

Participants are advised to submit this information to ARB by
September 15th, 2012 to allow ARB sufficient time to consolidate
entity accounts prior to the November, 2012 auction. Any entity
that will receive allowances from ARB or plans to participate in
the auction must have an account in the CITSS.
