arbcombo -- Announcement of Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS) upgrade to support California's Cap-and-Trade Program

The Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS) is
being upgraded to provide Cap-and-Trade Program participants
improved features and more detailed account information.

The upgrades included in CITSS version 3.0 are scheduled to be
released Thursday, August 1, 2013. CITSS version 3.0 provides
expanded functionality and information, including:

• Facility information (entity management/account consolidation)
• Corporate association management
• Limited exemption and holding limit management
• Enhanced reporting features

The CITSS can be accessed at https://www.wci-citss.org.

Following the release of CITSS version 3.0, ARB staff will be
updating the CITSS accounts with account consolidation and
corporate association data previously submitted to ARB, as well
as limited exemption data based on verified emissions. ARB will
complete data entry by August 19, 2013. The CITSS will be
automatically sending emails to account representatives informing
them of updates during this data entry period.

To ensure a smooth transition to the CITSS version 3.0, please
refrain from changing any entity registration data accessed
through the CITSS General tab or the Facilities tab until August
19, 2013. Any change in entity registration data made before
August 19 could adversely affect an entity's ability to
participate in the August 2013 auction.

Training:
A webinar on the expanded CITSS functions included in this
release are being prepared and scheduled. Details on the webinar
will be announced soon.

Further assistance can be obtained from the CITSS help desk. The
Help Desk is staffed Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time
through 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time and is accessible for messages 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have any questions about
using the CITSS, please contact the CITSS Help Desk at:
help@wci-citss.org or telephone 1-866-682-7561.

Background:
The California Air Resources Board's (ARB) California
Cap-and-Trade Program became effective on January 1, 2012, with
an enforceable compliance obligation beginning with calendar year
2013 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

California is working with WCI Partner jurisdictions and WCI,
Inc. to develop systems to support the common goals of developing
a regional program and the implementation of state and provincial
GHG trading programs, including California's Cap-and-Trade
Program.

One of the systems being developed is the Compliance Instrument
Tracking System Service (CITSS). The CITSS is the record of
ownership of compliance instruments; records information related
to accounts; enables and records compliance instrument transfers;
facilitates compliance verification; and supports market
oversight through the collection of relevant information.

arbcombo -- AB 32 Environmental Justice Advisory Committee Meeting

The AB 32 Environmental Justice Advisory Committee (EJAC) will be
meeting on August 5, 2013 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (PDT) and
August 6, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (PDT) in
Tower Room 7, San Diego County Administration Center, located at
1600 Pacific Hwy in San Diego.

The meeting notice and agenda are posted at:

Information about the San Diego County Administration Center can
be found at the following website:
http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/general_services/CAC/CAC_Fac_Services.html


Background:
The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, (AB 32)
calls for the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) to convene a
global warming environmental justice advisory committee, to
advise the Board in developing the scoping plan, and any other
pertinent matter in implementing AB 32. The advisory committee
is comprised of representatives from communities in the State
with the most significant exposure to air pollution, including,
but not limited to, communities with minority populations or
low-income populations, or both. The Board appointed the first
environmental justice advisory committee to advise it on the 2008
Scoping Plan and other climate change programs. To advise the
Board on the 2013 Scoping Plan Update, ARB reconvened a new EJAC
on March 21, 2013. Committee meetings are open to the public and
include a public comment period.

arbcombo -- Tomorrow - Chair's Lecture: Black Carbon Reductions in California and its Implications for Regional and Global Climate Change Mitigation

Presentation is now available.

"Black Carbon Reductions in
California and its Implications
for Regional and Global Climate Change Mitigation"

Veerabhadran Ramanathan, Ph.D.,
and Lynn M. Russell, Ph.D.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography,
University of California, San Diego

Tuesday, July 23, 2013 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST)
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

"If California's efforts in reducing black carbon can be
replicated globally, we can slow down global warming in the
coming decades by about 15 percent, in addition to protecting
people's lives," says Dr. Ramanathan.

A first-of-its kind study examining the impact of black carbon
(BC) on California has made it clear the state's efforts to
reduce emissions from trucks and buses has also helped in the
fight against climate change.

Even while diesel fuel consumption rose by a factor of five over
a 45-year period, black carbon levels decreased by about 90
percent over that same period, according to the study.
Researchers found the state's efforts to reduce diesel emissions
have lessened the impact of global warming on California.

The study's results support a growing body of scientific
evidence
that suggests it is possible to immediately slow the pace of
climate change by reducing emissions of short-lived climate
pollutants, like black carbon.

arbcombo -- Save the Date: August 13 Cap-and-Trade Workshop on Refineries and Related Industries

Please save August 13, 2013 for a public workshop to discuss
potential changes to the California Cap on Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanism relating to
allocation benchmarks and approaches to refineries, hydrogen and
coke calcining.


TOPIC: Refineries and Related Industries Workshop
DATE: Tuesday, August 13, 2013
TIME: 1 pm to 4 pm
LOCATION: Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA HQ Building,
1001 "I" Street, Sacramento

This workshop will focus on allowance allocation to refineries
under the Cap-and-Trade Program during the second and third
compliance periods. Under current regulation, the carbon
dioxide-weighted tonne, as defined in Europe, will form the basis
of these allocations. The ARB is considering changing away from
the use of the carbon dioxide-weighted tonne. Potential changes
to allocations for two related activities, hydrogen production
and calcining coke, will also be discussed. This workshop will
include participation by Solomon Associates and Ecofys to provide
their industry and emissions-related expertise.

The agenda for the workshop will be available on ARB's
Cap-and-Trade Workshops and Meetings webpage:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm

All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live
webcast of the meeting will be available at:
http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1

Background
The California Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) was formally
adopted by the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) in 2011. In
2012, the Board adopted a limited set of amendments focused on
implementation of the Regulation. In response to Board direction
and further discussions with stakeholders, staff began a public
process this spring to propose additional amendments for Board
consideration in fall 2013. Refinery stakeholders have requested
reconsideration of the carbon dioxide-weighted tonne allocation
method. This workshop will cover refinery and related product
considerations for potential new amendments.

arbcombo -- Availability of Discussion Draft of Potential Revisions to the Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

California Air Resources Board (ARB) staff has posted a
discussion draft of potential revisions to the Regulation for the
Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Mandatory
Reporting Regulation).
The discussion draft is available here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/revision-2013/revision-2013.htm.

in 2007 with subsequent amendments in 2010 and 2012. The current
version of the Mandatory Reporting Regulation is here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/regulation/mrr_2012_clean.pdf.


Staff held a public workshop to discuss potential revisions of
the Mandatory Reporting Regulation on June 26, 2013. This
discussion draft is intended to add to the information presented
during the workshop and clarify some of the comments we received
during and after the workshop. Not all areas identified at the
workshop for potential revision are included in the discussion
draft as ARB staff continues to evaluate comments received at and
after the workshop.

Informal comments to this discussion draft are encouraged, and
due by August 2, 2013. This will allow staff time to evaluate
and address comments prior to the start of the formal rulemaking
process. Please forward all comments and direct any questions

arbcombo -- Chairs Lecture: Black Carbon Reductions in California and its Implications for Regional and Global Climate Change Mitigation

We are pleased to announce the next Series topic:

"Black Carbon Reductions in California and its Implications
for Regional and Global Climate Change Mitigation".


Veerabhadran Ramanathan, Ph.D.,
and Lynn M. Russell, Ph.D.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography,
University of California, San Diego

Tuesday, July 23, 2013 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST)
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

"If California's efforts in reducing black carbon can be
replicated globally, we can slow down global warming in the
coming decades by about 15 percent, in addition to protecting
people's lives," says Dr. Ramanathan.

A first-of-its kind study examining the impact of black carbon
(BC) on California has made it clear the state's efforts to
reduce emissions from trucks and buses has also helped in the
fight against climate change.

Even while diesel fuel consumption rose by a factor of five over
a 45-year period, black carbon levels decreased by about 90
percent over that same period, according to the study.
Researchers found the state's efforts to reduce diesel emissions
have lessened the impact of global warming on California.

The study's results support a growing body of scientific evidence
that suggests it is possible to immediately slow the pace of
climate change by reducing emissions of short-lived climate
pollutants, like black carbon.
