arbcombo -- ROOM CHANGE for Notice of May 18, 2016 public workshop on emissions leakage studies for Cap-and-Trade Program
This workshop will be held in the Sierra Hearing Room in the
CalEPA Headquarters Building, not the Byron Sher Auditorium.
Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2016
Time: 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Place: Sierra Hearing Room
CalEPA Headquarters Building
1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814
Webcast: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/Broadcast/
Email questions during the workshop to: sierrarm@calepa.ca.gov
Purpose of Workshop:
The May 18, 2016, workshop will continue the public process to
develop potential 2016 amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation
(Regulation). This workshop will include discussion on
re-evaluating and modifying a component of the methodology for
leakage prevention and allowance allocation to the industrial
sector. Modifications to allowance allocation would be
implemented in the third compliance period starting with the
allocation of vintage 2018 allowances that occurs in fall 2017.
In 2011 and 2012, the Board directed staff to investigate
potential improvements to Program metrics for determining
emissions leakage risk in industrial sectors (see Board
Resolutions 11-32 and 12-33). The Program commissioned three
studies to inform this sector-by-sector assessment in 2012, and
the studies were completed in May 2016.
The first two studies led by the University of California,
Berkeley, and Resources for the Future measured international and
domestic leakage, respectively, for most industrial sectors that
are directly regulated under the Program. The third study, led
by researchers at California Polytechnic State University, San
Luis Obispo, measured leakage potential in select food processing
industries. At the May 18 workshop, researchers will present
their study results and answer stakeholder questions. Informed by
these studies, staff will propose a revised emissions leakage
risk evaluation methodology and will update assistance factors
for industrial sectors.
Copies of the research papers will be made available at noon (12
pm) Pacific time on Wednesday, May 11, 2016. Other workshop
materials, including ARB staff's presentation, will be made
available on Tuesday, May 17, at 9 am. All materials will be
posted at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm. All
interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live webcast of
the workshop will be available at
http://www.calepa.ca.gov/Broadcast/. Remote participants may
e-mail questions during the workshop to sierrarm@calepa.ca.gov.
Following the workshop, stakeholders will have an opportunity to
provide written comments during an informal comment period which
will conclude at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on Friday, June 10,
2016.
A link to provide comment will be available after the workshop
at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm
Background
Cap-and-Trade Regulation:
The Board first formally adopted the Regulation in October 2011,
and subsequently approved limited amendments to the Regulation in
June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most
recently June 2015. The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to
improve Program efficiency, update the Regulation using the
latest information, and chart post-2020 implementation of the
Program.

SACRAMENTO – State agency leaders today released the Draft
California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, an ambitious document
that lays a foundation for modernizing California's multi-billion
dollar freight transportation system.
Developed in response to Governor Brown's Executive Order
B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for
California, the Draft Action Plan was drafted by the California
State Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection
Agency, Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board,
California Department of Transportation, California Energy
Commission and Governor's Office of Business and Economic
Development with broad stakeholder input.
The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared
vision to "improve freight efficiency, transition to
zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of
California's freight system." Benefits include meeting the
state's freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and
climate goals.
The Draft Action Plan responds to the Governor's Executive Order
by articulating one shared vision to improve the efficiency of
California's freight system while reducing its pollution, all the
while bolstering the competitiveness of California's goods
movement system nationally and internationally.
Key components of the Action Plan include:
• A long-term 2050 vision and guiding principles for
California's future freight transport system.
• Targets for 2030 to guide the State toward meeting its
long-term vision:
o Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030.
o Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and
maximize near-zero by 2020.
o Foster future economic growth within the freight and
goods movement industry.
• Identified opportunities to leverage State freight transport
system investments.
• Actions to initiate over the next five years to make progress
towards the Draft Action Plan's vision and target.
• Pilot projects to achieve concrete progress in the near-term.
• Additional concepts for further exploration and potential
development.
"Future investments of public dollars in freight require a smart
approach that accounts for both environmental stewardship and the
need for new infrastructure to accommodate a growing freight
sector," said CalSTA Secretary, Brian P. Kelly. "While some may
see these as competing priorities, this Draft Action Plan
suggests we don't have to choose between these important
objectives, but can achieve both through more prudent planning
and investment. I look forward to perfecting the document with
input from our many stakeholders in the days ahead."
Achieving the Draft Action Plan's objectives will require
strategic partnerships and well-coordinated investments in new
technologies and major infrastructure upgrades. The plan provides
an opportunity for leveraging new federal, State, local and
private investment for these freight transport system
improvements.
California's freight system is the most extensive and
interconnected freight system in the United States and is
composed of several deep water seaports, cargo airports, border
crossings, and a vast warehousing and distribution sector, all
connected by a network of over 11,000 miles of railroad track and
Interstate and state highways. Each component is critical and the
system depends on these interconnected facilities working in
concert to move freight in and out of California to the rest of
the nation and across the globe. California's freight-dependent
industries account for more than $740 billion in revenue and more
than 5 million jobs in 2014.
"This is an unprecedented effort to partner with the freight
sector to help bolster the competitiveness of California's
freight industry," said Governor Brown's senior jobs adviser Mike
Rossi. "The freight sector has already invested heavily in
modernization and the Action Plan helps advance those efforts
while reducing emissions through commercially viable and
affordable technologies."
While freight transport in California is a major economic engine
for the state, emissions from ships, harbor craft, trucks,
locomotives, cargo equipment, aircraft and other freight
participants account for about half of toxic diesel particulate
matter (PM 2.5), 45 percent of the emissions of nitrogen oxides
(NOx) that form ozone and fine particulate matter in the
atmosphere, and 6 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in
California. Many of these pollutants are emitted in close
proximity to communities and pose health risks to nearby
residents, highlighting the need for additional steps to protect
public health.
"The draft we are releasing today represents an unprecedented
collaboration among government agencies, in keeping with the
importance of the freight sector to our economy and our
environment," said CARB Chair Mary D. Nichols. "The plan commits
to include all stakeholders at every step in the process, from
refining goals and selecting pilot projects through
implementation into the coming decade. Our challenge is to
deliver both public health and economic benefits at our ports, on
our highways, and in our communities throughout the state."
The Draft Action Plan builds on existing State agency strategies,
including the California Freight Mobility Plan, Sustainable
Freight Pathways to Zero and Near-Zero Emissions Discussion
Document and the Integrated Energy Policy Report. Broad
stakeholder input provided over the past several months,
including 11 workshops across the state, inform this Draft Action
Plan.
The Draft Action Plan is available now for stakeholder and public
feedback through July 6, 2016. Additionally, agency staff will
present it as an informational item at public meetings of the
California Freight Advisory Committee, the California
Transportation Commission and California Air Resources Board in
May.
"The Energy Commission is pleased to work in partnership with our
sister agencies and engaged stakeholders across the state to
develop this draft action plan," said Energy Commissioner Janea
A. Scott. "Reducing pollution from our freight sector will help
California to meet its clean air standards and climate goals."

The Draft Action Plan is available for public review and comments

The State Agencies are requesting comments by July 6, 2016.
