arbcombo -- Revisions to GHG Mandatory Reporting Regulation Informal Public Comments Posted

ARB staff will post at noon Monday, August 19, the informal
comments that are associated with consideration of potential
amendments to the Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of
Greenhouse Gas Emissions (title 17, California Code of
Regulations, sections 95100-95158). These informal comments were
received based on material presented at a public workshop in June
and the release of a discussion draft of regulatory text on July
17, 2013.

When available, the informal comments can be viewed here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/revision-2013/revision-2013.htm.


These informal comments, which were submitted prior to the
official rulemaking process, are considered by ARB staff in
preparing a proposal for consideration by the Board. However, to
be part of the official record, any comments on the proposed
amendments must be submitted during the official 45-day comment
period following the release of the Hearing Notice and Initial
Statement of Reasons on September 9, 2013. The proposed changes
to the regulation are currently scheduled for consideration at
the October 24-25, 2013 meeting of the California Air Resources
Board.

The Mandatory Reporting Regulation is one of the primary mandates
of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32).
The MRR is designed to collect greenhouse gas emissions data from
the major sources of GHG emissions to support multiple climate
change programs at the Air Resources Board. The emissions data
reports are verified as accurate and complete by ARB-accredited
third-party verifiers.

If you have any questions regarding the posting of the informal
comments, please contact Patrick Gaffney at (916)322-7303 or
pgaffney@arb.ca.gov.
