hdghg -- U.S. EPA Grants Waiver Allowing Enforcement of California's Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation

The California Air Resources Board has issued Regulatory Advisory
Mail-Out MSC# 14-17 to notify interested stakeholders that on
July 30, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.
EPA) granted ARB a waiver pursuant to section 209(b) of the
federal Clean Air Act for California's Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) Regulation. This waiver authorizes ARB to enforce
specific provisions of the Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation
applicable to 2011 through 2013 model year Class 8 tractors
equipped with integrated sleeper berths and to 2011 and
subsequent model year 53 foot and longer dry-van and
refrigerated-van trailers that are pulled by such tractors on
California highways.

When the Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation became effective on
January 1, 2010, the requirements of the regulation were fully
enforceable for 2010 and older model year tractors and trailers;
only the 2011 through 2013 model year tractors and 2011 and newer
53-foot box trailers required a waiver pursuant to section 209(b)
of the federal Clean Air Act. With the issuance of the waiver
from U.S. EPA, those provisions are now also enforceable.

Background
The Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation, adopted in December 2008, was
developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improving the
fuel efficiency of heavy-duty tractors that pull 53-foot or
longer box-type trailers. The regulation requires
tractor-trailers operating in California to use tractors and
box-type trailers that utilize certain aerodynamic equipment and
low rolling resistance tires, as verified by the U.S. EPA
SmartWay program, to meet specified fuel efficiency
improvements.

For further information about the regulation, advisories,
training, outreach efforts, compliance tools, or the full text of
the Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation, please visit
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truckstop/truckstop.htm or
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/hdghg/hdghg.htm, call 866 6DIESEL (866
634-3735), or email us at 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov.

arbcombo -- Public Workshop on FY 2015-16 AQIP Funding Plan and GGRF Low-Carbon Transportation Investments

The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) invites you to participate
in a public kickoff workshop to begin developing the Fiscal Year
(FY) 2015-16 Funding Plan for the Air Quality Improvement Program
(AQIP) and Low Carbon Transportation Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Fund (GGRF) Investments. ARB staff will seek input on existing
project categories being funded through these programs, potential
new project categories, and recently signed legislation affecting
the implementation of these programs.

The meeting will be held at the following time and place:

Date: Friday, November 7, 2014
Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor
1001 I Street
Sacramento, California 95814

This workshop will also be webcast for participants unable to
attend in person.

Directions to Cal/EPA headquarters and public transit can be
found at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPAbldg/location.htm.

For more information about the workshop, please go to:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm.

For more information about the AQIP, please go to:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/aqip.htm.

If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact
Andrew Panson at (916) 323-2809 or andrew.panson@arb.ca.gov.

Background: AQIP is a voluntary mobile source incentive program
administered by ARB providing about $25 million per year
(depending on revenues) through 2023. ARB focuses AQIP
investments on technology advancing projects which support
California's long-term air quality and climate change goals in
addition to providing immediate emission benefits. Each year,
the Board approves the AQIP Funding Plan, which serves as the
blueprint for expending AQIP funds.

Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide an additional funding
source for ARB's advanced technology clean transportation
incentive programs, expanding the types of projects ARB has
funded through AQIP. The FY 2014-15 State budget appropriated
$200 million from GGRF to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation
projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with an emphasis on
investments that benefit disadvantaged communities consistent
with a Cap-and-Trade Investment Plan prepared in 2013. These
investments are being implemented through the administrative
framework established by AQIP. ARB developed a single Funding
Plan for the FY 2014-15 funding cycle that covered both AQIP and
GGRF funding sources. ARB staff again plans to develop a joint
AQIP-GGRF Funding Plan for FY 2015-16.

arbcombo -- Auction Application Attestation Disclosure Guidance

In preparation for the November 2014 joint auction #1, California
Air Resources Board (ARB) staff is providing the following
information and guidance regarding updated auction application
attestation requirements.
ARB staff has developed guidance on the attestation disclosure,
which is available here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/guidance/guidance.htm.

Effective for the November 2014 joint auction #1, California
entities applying to participate in an auction must meet revised
regulatory requirements related to submitting an Auction
Application Attestation Disclosure, as described in Section
95912(d)(4)(E) of the Cap-and-Trade Regulation. Each auction
application must include an attestation disclosing the existence
and status of any ongoing investigation or an investigation that
has occurred within the last ten years with respect to any
alleged violation of any rule, regulation, or law associated with
any commodity, securities, environmental, or financial market for
the entity participating in the auction, and all other entities
with whom the entity has a corporate association, direct
corporate association, or indirect corporate association pursuant
to section 95833 that participate in a carbon, fuel, or
electricity market.

In order to submit the attestation for the November 2014 joint
auction #1, an applicant must complete two (2) steps. First, the
applicant must provide an answer to the attestation question
provided in the Auction Application or Intent to Bid process,
which is completed in the Auction Platform. Second, each
applicant must provide an attestation to the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) including any required disclosures, any
updates to previously submitted disclosures, or a statement that
there are no disclosures to be made or no updates to previously
submitted disclosures. An auction applicant may use the Auction
Application Attestation Disclosure Form available from the ARB
Auction webpage at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auction/forms/auction_app_attestation_disclosure_form.docx
to submit the required attestation disclosure. Each auction
applicant must provide the required attestation to ARB at least
30 days prior to an auction in which it intends to participate.
For the November 2014 joint auction #1, this date is October 20,
2014.

The attestation must be updated before each auction to reflect
any change in the status of an investigation that has occurred
since the most recent auction application attestation was
submitted.

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.

arbcombo -- Availability of ARBs Preliminary Determination on ODS Investigation

The Air Resources Board (ARB) will release information related to
the ODS investigation on the ARB website at 12:00 pm (noon)
Pacific Time Wednesday, October 8th. On May 29, 2014, the
California Air Resources Board (ARB) initiated an investigation
of compliance offset credits issued for ozone depleting substance
destruction events that took place at the Clean Harbors
Incineration Facility in El Dorado, Arkansas (Facility) which
may have been generated while the facility was not in compliance
with provisions of its operating permit issued under the federal
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Executive
Officer has made a preliminary determination. The preliminary
determination will be made publicly available at noon PT, October
8th, 2014, here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm

The following steps provide detail on the process towards the
issuance of a final determination.

1. The posting of the preliminary determination begins a 10-day
comment period that starts at noon PT, October 8, 2014 through 5
pm PT, October 17, 2014. During the 10-day comment period, ARB
invites public comment on the preliminary determination. The
10-day comment period serves as an opportunity for the public to
review and respond to the information considered by the Executive
Officer in making a preliminary determination. Any additional
materials received during this comment period will be evaluated
and considered by the Executive Officer in making the final
determination. This comment period is not required by the
Cap-and-Trade Regulation, but ARB believes it is important for
stakeholders to be aware of the information that was reviewed in
support of the preliminary determination and to have an
opportunity to provide additional relevant information prior to
the Executive Officer making a final determination.

2. The conclusion of the 10-day comment period starts the
regulatory 30-day period for the Executive Officer to make a
final determination as to whether ARB will invalidate any
compliance offset credits generated at the Facility.

3. After the 30-day period begins, the Executive Officer may
issue the final determination at any time and does not need to
wait for the 30-day period to conclude.

4. The release of the final determination will be noticed ahead
of time to ensure all market participants receive the information
simultaneously.

5. Once the final determination is made publicly available,
offsets determined to be valid that were removed from accounts
during the investigation will be returned to the holders of those
offsets.

Submission of Information during 10-Day Comment Period

Only comments submitted at the link below will be considered by
the Executive Officer in making a final determination:

http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm

Background

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has been reviewing
whether compliance offset credits issued for ozone depleting
substances destruction events that took place at the Facility
were generated while the Facility was not in compliance with
provisions of its operating permit issued under the federal
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). ARB believes the
greenhouse gas reductions represented by the offsets are real,
quantified, and verified reductions. The offset program serves as
an important cost containment feature of the Cap-and-Trade
Program.

The Cap-and-Trade Regulation allows ARB to investigate and
invalidate any issued compliance offset credits that were
generated if the offset project activity and implementation of
the offset project was not in accordance with all local, state,
or national environmental and health and safety regulations
during the reporting period for which the ARB offset credit was
issued.

During the period of review and until a final determination is
issued, ARB has blocked transfers of potentially impacted
compliance offset credits. Once ARB blocked the transfer of
compliance offset credits under investigation on May 29, 2014,
all parties identified as holders of potentially impacted
compliance offset credits had 25 calendar days to provide
additional information to ARB to aid in the review. ARB also
requested specific additional information to aid in its review.
The Executive Officer has 30 calendar days from the day that all
information is submitted to make a final determination whether to
invalidate any compliance offset credits subject to review. Once
the review is completed, any compliance offset credits determined
to meet the requirements of the Regulation, will be made
available to the CITSS accounts of the respective owners.

None of the compliance offset credits currently under review have
been used for compliance in the Cap-and-Trade Program.

arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: The Science Behind Sustainable Communities Strategies

"Presentation is available for downloading"
http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/seminars/handy/handy.htm

"The Science Behind Sustainable Communities Strategies"

Susan Handy, Ph.D., Director
National Center for Sustainable Transportation

University of California, Davis

Tuesday, October 7, 2014 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST)
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

California's landmark Sustainable Communities and Climate
Protection Law (Senate Bill 375) ushered in a new era of regional
planning. Passed in 2008, SB 375 aims to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions through better coordination and alignment of regional
transportation planning with local land use planning. Each of the
state's eighteen Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) was
charged with creating a "Sustainable Communities Strategy" (SCS)
as part of their Regional Transportation Plan. The SCS contains
land use, housing, and transportation strategies that, if
implemented, would allow the region to achieve state defined
targets for greenhouse gas emissions reductions from passenger
vehicle use.

Rich conversations on best ways to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions while addressing other important social, environmental,
and economic priorities have been sparked in regions across
California as part of the first round of SCSs. But what does the
science say about the proposed strategies?

This seminar will provide an objective review of the empirical
evidence on how effective various transportation and land use
strategies are at reducing vehicle miles traveled (and thus
greenhouse gas emissions). In a multi-year project funded by the
Air Resources Board, a team of UC Davis, UC Irvine, and
University of Southern California researchers examined a total of
23 strategies ranging from car-sharing services to access to bus
and rail stations to changes in land use. The goal of the project
was to strengthen the technical underpinnings of SB375 and to
gain a clearer understanding of data gaps and research needs
moving forward. This seminar will outline some of the most
promising strategies to help inform development of and potential
improvements to the models, tools, and information used by
Metropolitan Planning Organizations, local governments, and
others for SB 375 implementation. The scientific evidence for
each strategy studied by the researchers is summarized in a
series of policy briefs that are now available for download at
ARB's website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/sb375/sb375.htm
