arbcombo -- March 17 Workshop on the Proposed Rice Cultivation Offset Protocol and Updates to Existing Offset Protocols

The correct date for ARB's public workshop is on Monday March 17,
2014, to discuss initial draft language for a proposed new Rice
Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and proposed
updates to existing Compliance Offset Protocols.

DATE: Monday, March 17, 2014
TIME: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency
Air Resources Board
Byron Sher Auditorium

Sacramento, California 95814

Staff plans to propose the addition of a new Rice Cultivation
Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and updates to existing
Compliance Offset Protocols under the Cap-and-Trade Regulation at
the September 2014 Board hearing. The hearing date has been
moved from the original spring timetable, but will not change the
effective date of the amendments to the existing Compliance
Offset Protocols, the addition of the Rice Cultivation Projects
Compliance Offset Protocol, and corresponding amendments to the
Regulation. If adopted, we anticipate the effective date to be
January 1, 2015 as originally intended. When the new and updated
Compliance Offset Protocols are proposed, a Notice of Proposed
Regulatory Action with the draft new and updated Compliance
Offset Protocols will be released for a 45-day public comment
period in advance of the Board item.

Background
The California Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) was formally
adopted by the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) in 2011. In
response to continued Board direction and further discussions
with stakeholders, staff began a public process to propose a new
Rice Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and updates
to existing Compliance Offset Protocols for Board consideration
in 2014. Documents that will be made publicly available prior to
the workshop will provide a discussion of the new Rice
Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and updates to
existing Compliance Offset Protocols. These documents will
provide the public with the opportunity to discuss staff's draft
language for the new and updated Compliance Offset Protocols
prior to staff formally submitting a Notice of Proposed
Regulatory Action. The public will have additional opportunities
to comment on these protocols during the 45-day public comment
period and Board hearing.

arbcombo -- The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) posted information related to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation on Wednesday, February 26, 2014.

The posted document, "Cap-and-Trade Regulation: Proposed
Benchmarks for Refineries and Related Industries" (refinery
benchmarks document), introduces updated benchmarks for
refineries and related industries and describes their
development. It also includes regulatory language changes from
the informal discussion draft released January 31, 2014.

The refinery benchmarks document can be accessed from our
website:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm

Please submit comments on the refinery benchmarks document by
March 7, 2014, via this website:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/comments.htm.

Inquiries concerning this guidance document may be directed to
Mary Jane Coombs, Manager, Program Development Section, at (916)
322-7554.

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 6, 2013, staff released a Notice of Public Hearing
to Consider Amendments to the California Cap on Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms. Following the
45-day comment period, the Board considered the proposed
amendments at its meeting on October 25, 2013. At this meeting,
the Board approved Resolution 13-44 which directed staff to
consider additional modifications to the proposed amendments to
the Cap-and-Trade Regulation as part of a subsequent 15-day
rulemaking package. Board Resolution 13-44 is posted on the
following website:

arbcombo -- The Air Resources Board has released the proposed update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan

The Air Resources Board has released the proposed update to the
AB 32 Scoping Plan. The Scoping Plan guides development and
implementation of California's groundbreaking greenhouse gas
emission reduction programs. The Air Resources Board is required
to update the Scoping Plan every five years.

The 2013 Scoping Plan update lays out the remaining steps to the
2020 limits set by AB 32. It moves the process forward with an
approach which cuts across economic sectors to combine greenhouse
gas reductions with reductions of smog-causing pollutants. It
also describes the need to extend key reduction programs now
underway. The 2013 update lays the scientific and technological
foundation to ensure sustainable midterm and long-term emission
reductions as well as public health and economic goals.

To achieve these goals California will need to continue building
on the AB 32 framework over the coming decades. The update also
lays out a set of new actions that will move the state farther
along the path to a low-carbon, sustainable future. Some of the
actions are near-term, while others are focused on longer-term
efforts that will provide major benefits well into the future.

Every major economic sector in the state must play an increasing
role in this cross-cutting effort to reduce greenhouse gases and
smog. Success will require the creation of new policies in some
sectors, and expanding and refining existing policies in others.


The update identifies eight key sectors for ongoing action:
• Energy
• Transportation, fuels, land use and infrastructure
• Agriculture
• Water
• Waste management
• Natural lands
• Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (such as methane and black
carbon)
• Green Buildings

The 2013 update incorporates the latest scientific consensus
which indicates the need for accelerated emissions reductions in
the coming decades to achieve climate stabilization. This update
calls for a midterm statewide greenhouse gas reduction target,
and specific reduction targets for each of the key sectors to
guide California's path toward an 80 percent reduction by 2050.

The 2013 Scoping Plan update includes input from a range of key
state agencies. It is also the result of extensive public and
stakeholder processes designed to ensure that California's
greenhouse gas and pollution reduction efforts continue to
improve public health and drive development of a more sustainable
economy.

arbcombo -- The California Air Resources Board to release Proposed First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan on February 10th

The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) will release
the Proposed First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan
(Proposed First Update) on Monday, February 10th at 5:00 pm
(PST). The appendices to the report, including the Environmental
Analysis will be released at a later date.

This Proposed First Update is a key step in the implementation of
AB 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. AB
32 requires the Scoping Plan to be updated at least every five
years.

In October 2013, ARB released a discussion draft for stakeholder
review and comment. The Proposed First Update reflects additional
analysis, expertise, and public input that ARB has received over
the past several months.

The Proposed First Update will be discussed at the Board Meeting
on February 20, 2014. The Board Meeting is an opportunity for
the public to provide input on the Proposed First Update. In
addition, interested parties may submit written comments to ARB's
website at the address below.

The Final Proposed Scoping Plan Update will be presented for
Board consideration for approval at a late-Spring Board Hearing.
