Update on the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) Friday, June 24,
2016 public workshop to discuss potential amendments to the
Mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting and Cap-and-Trade
Regulations related to the electricity and natural gas sectors.
Date: Friday, June 24, 2016
Time: 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
Place: Coastal Hearing Room
CalEPA Headquarters Building
1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814
Webcast: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast
Purpose of Workshop:
As announced on June 7, ARB will host a public workshop on June
24, 2016 to continue the public process to develop potential 2016
amendments to the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting
Regulation (MRR) and Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation).
This workshop will include discussion on electricity sector GHG
emissions accounting for the AB 32 statewide target and
Cap-and-Trade Program compliance obligations and staff's proposal
for post-2020 electrical distribution utility allowance
allocation. In the first part of the workshop, staff will
describe why amendments to the regulations are being considered
to ensure full GHG emissions accounting for electricity
transactions in the California Independent System Operator's
Energy Imbalance Market. The second part of the workshop will
include a staff update on post-2020 allowance allocation for
electrical distribution utilities.
UPDATE: Also at the workshop, staff plans to discuss allocation
to legacy contract generators without industrial counterparties,
and to discuss the following emissions exemptions: geothermal
generating units and geothermal facilities, natural gas hydrogen
fuel cells, low bleed pneumatic devices, and the qualified export
adjustment for imported electricity.
NEW POSTING TIME FOR PRESENTATION SLIDES:
1:00 pm Pacific Standard Time on June 20, 2016, at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm. This
should provide stakeholders time to review the materials and be
prepared to share comments at the workshop.
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
coastalrm@calepa.ca.gov.
Background
Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Regulation
The Board first approved MRR in 2007, with revisions in 2010,
2012, 2013, and 2014. The upcoming 2016 amendments will clarify
and update the regulation, including changes to support the
Cap-and-Trade Program and for compliance with U.S. EPA's Clean
Power Plan.
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.
More information about ARB's Cap-and-Trade Program is available
at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm.
Special Accommodation Request:
The following special accommodation or language needs can be
provided:
• An interpreter at the meeting;
• Documents in another language or in an alternate format; and
• A disability-related reasonable accommodation.
To request these special accommodations or language needs, please
contact the Industrial Strategies Division at (916) 322-2037 as
soon as possible, but no later than 10 business days before the
scheduled meeting. TTY/TDD/Speech to Speech users may dial 711

arbcombo -- June 17-Availability of 2030 Target Scoping Plan Concept Paper and Updated GHG Inventory
Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) staff will be making available
a 2030 Target Scoping Plan Concept Paper and Updated GHG
Inventory on Friday, June 17, 2016, at 3:00 PM (Noon) PT.
2030 Target Scoping Plan Concept Paper
The 2030 Target Scoping Plan Concept Paper provides an additional
opportunity for public and stakeholder engagement and input prior
to release of the Draft Scoping Plan later this year. The intent
of the paper is to inform an ongoing stakeholder process for how
to most effectively achieve a 40 percent reduction in GHG
emissions by 2030 as compared to 1990 statewide GHG emissions.
The content of this paper has been informed by several public
workshops and meetings held to date, beginning with the
Governor's Climate Change Strategy Pillar Workshops held in
summer 2015. Since then, ARB staff, in collaboration with other
State agencies, has held numerous public workshops to develop the
Draft Scoping Plan, including several Environmental Justice
Advisory Committee meetings, a public meeting to discuss the
greenhouse gas (GHG) modeling and economic analysis that will be
included in the Draft Scoping Plan, and other sector-specific
public workshops. These multi-agency meetings provided State
agencies the opportunity to share their near- and long-term
visions for climate policy and actively solicited the public's
comments, concerns and questions.
The 2030 Scoping Plan Concept Paper will be made available here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm
Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1803 (H&SC §39607.4) and the California
Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), ARB is responsible
for developing and maintaining California's inventory of GHG
emissions. An updated GHG inventory is published annually to
reflect current data. The new GHG inventory covers years 2000 to
2014. The emission estimates are statewide estimates that rely
on state, regional or national data sources, and on aggregated
facility-specific emissions data reported under the Regulation
for the Mandatory Reporting of
Greenhouse Gas Emissions (MRR). Accompanying the GHG inventory
data are three documents: (a) the "Trends of Emissions and Other
Indicators" report, which explains trends in statewide GHG
emissions from major sectors; (b) a Frequently Ask Questions
(FAQ) document that provides additional information related to
the inventory; and (c) "Inventory Updates Since the 2015 Edition
of the Inventory- Supplement to the Technical Support Document"
that describes the updates made to the inventory since the
previous inventory release.
The GHG inventory data and supporting documents will be available
at ARB's GHG Emission Inventory website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/inventory.htm
