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.

The first compliance due date for covered entities under
California Cap-and-Trade Program was November 3, 2014. Covered
entities were required to surrender a sufficient number of
applicable compliance instruments to cover 30% of their 2013
emissions pursuant to section 95855 of the Cap-and-Trade
Regulation. These applicable compliance instruments include
allowances, as well as offset credits.
