arbcombo -- POSTPONING Cap-and-Trade & Mandatory GHG Reporting February 14, 2017 Workshop

Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) staff is hereby postponing the
public workshop originally scheduled for Tuesday, February 14,
2017. ARB will send out a subsequent listserv with a new date
and time to invite interested parties to a rescheduled workshop.
The workshop was scheduled to discuss potential amendments to the
Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) and Regulation for the
Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (MRR).

Purpose of Workshop

ARB will reschedule this workshop which will continue the public
process of the 2016 amendments to the Regulation and MRR. The
workshop will cover staff's proposed changes to the Regulation
and MRR in response to comments received on the first 15-day
regulatory proposals.

Staff materials will be made available prior to the workshop and
a subsequent listserv will indicate a date and time for posting,
as well as an informal comment period. All materials will be
posted at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm.

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.

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 2016 amendments seek to improve Program
efficiency, update the Regulation using the latest information,
and chart post-2020 implementation of the Program.
