The first compliance due date for the California Cap-and-Trade
Program is November 3, 2014. Covered entities must surrender a
sufficient number of applicable compliance instruments to cover
30% of their 2013 emissions pursuant to section 95855 of the

BACKGROUND:
The California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based
Compliance Mechanisms Regulation (Regulation) was adopted by the
California Air Resources Board in October of 2011, and formally
went into effect January 1, 2012. Entities subject to the
Regulation will have a compliance obligation for their greenhouse
gas emissions beginning on January 1, 2013. The Regulation was
amended in early 2013 to link the California and Québec programs
beginning January 1, 2014.
