The Air Resources Board (ARB) will release information related to
the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS)
registrants on the ARB website at 12:00 pm (noon) Pacific Time
Tuesday, December 31st. Regular releases beginning in 2014 will
be at 12:00 (noon) Pacific Time on the last business day of each
quarter. These releases will include information about covered,
opt-in, and voluntarily associated entities registered for the
Cap-and-Trade Program in CITSS. The information will be posted on
ARB's Cap-and-Trade website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm
Background
CITSS is a market tracking system that supports the
implementation of greenhouse gas (GHG) cap-and-trade programs for
California and other jurisdictions. CITSS provides accounts for
market participants to hold and retire compliance instruments and
to participate in transfers of compliance instruments with other
account holders. CITSS is used to register entities
participating in the California Cap-and-Trade Program, track the
ownership of compliance instruments, enable and record compliance
instrument transfers, facilitate emissions compliance, and
support market oversight.
The CITSS Registrant Report continues ARB's process of making
market related information public. ARB will continue to develop
and release additional market related information as part of
implementation of the Cap-and-Trade Program. ARB has held three
workshops to discuss release of market information and received
many oral and written comments during that process. The CITSS
Registrant Report implements the regulatory requirements
regarding information release and addresses stakeholder concerns
related to releasing confidential business information that could
place stakeholders at a market disadvantage.
The CITSS Registrant Report will include the names of account
holders in the tracking system. This will allow counter parties
to verify each other and will provide for program transparency.
For covered and opt-in entities, information will include the
legal entity name, the four digit CITSS ID, and the status of the
account as a covered or opt-in entity. In the case of
voluntarily associated entities, information will include the
legal entity name, the four digit CITSS ID, and the status of the
account holder as an organization or individual. Where
applicable, the report will also include the GHG reporting ID's
for any facilities associated with the CITSS account. Individual
CITSS account numbers will not be released.
