An update to the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service
(CITSS) is anticipated to be released on Monday, January 5, 2015.
CITSS Version 5.0 (CITSS 5.0) provides new functionality on the
pages used to transfer compliance instruments, including new
types of transfers and revisions to required data. The new
functionality supports recent amendments to California's
Cap-and-Trade Regulation that take effect January 1, 2015.
Stakeholder training for CITSS 5.0 is anticipated to be scheduled
in January 2015. Additional information regarding CITSS 5.0 will
be available soon on the California Air Resources Board (ARB)

transfer has taken place, these allowances will count towards
your holding limit, which in 2015 is 13,370,000.
