Background
The California Cap-and-Trade Regulation was formally adopted by
the Board in 2011. In response to Board direction and further
discussions with stakeholders, staff began a public process to
propose amendments for Board consideration in fall 2013. On
September 4, 2013, staff released a 45-day proposal for
modifications to the Regulation that will be heard at the October
2013 Board Hearing.
As a result of continuing development of the 45-day proposal and
further stakeholder discussion, staff is proposing additional
modifications to the Regulation. The full regulatory text, with
the specific modifications to the Regulation clearly indicated
for each proposed modification, will be made available to the
public, for a 15-day comment period.
