The Air Resources Board (ARB) will release the 2012 greenhouse
gas emissions data and an updated list of Cap-and-Trade covered
entities at 12:00 pm (noon) Pacific Time on Monday, November 4th.
The 2012 GHG emissions data was collected under the ARB's
Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program and will be posted on
ARB's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting page at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/reported_data/ghg-reports.htm
An updated list of the Cap-and-Trade covered entities will be
posted on ARB's Cap-and-Trade page at:

Background
The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32, or AB
32) requires the ARB to adopt regulations for the mandatory
reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. The Regulation for the
Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions went into effect
on January 1, 2009. Over 700 entities, including facilities,
fuel suppliers, and electric power importers, are required to
report their greenhouse gas emissions data to ARB. Emissions
data reports from entities with 25,000 metric tons carbon dioxide
equivalent or greater emissions must be verified by
ARB-accredited third-party verifiers. The information in the
emissions data reports is used to support ARB's GHG emissions
reduction actions, including California's Cap-and-Trade program.
More information about the Mandatory GHG Reporting Program is
available here:

The California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based
Compliance Mechanisms Regulation went into effect on January 1,
2012. Entities that emit 25,000 metric tons carbon dioxide
equivalent or greater in any year beginning in 2009 through 2012
are considered a covered entity beginning January 1, 2013.
Covered entities must register with the Compliance Instrument
Tracking System Service (CITSS) and submit compliance instruments
equal to their emissions for each compliance period.
More information about the Cap-and-Trade Program and CITSS is
available here:
