arbcombo -- 2008-2010 Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Major Facilities Now Available
The Air Resources Board (ARB) has posted summary spreadsheets of
2008-2010 facility greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and power
entity transactions data reported pursuant to the California
mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reporting program.
2008-2010 facility greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and power
entity transactions data reported pursuant to the California
mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reporting program.
The data is available through the ARB website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghg-reports.htm.
This posting represents the first summary spreadsheets posted for
the 2009 and 2010 emissions and transactions data, while the 2008
data is an update to a past posting of emissions data.
Under California's mandatory GHG reporting regulation (MRR),
California's largest industrial facilities have reported their
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for years 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Facility operators certified their 2008 emissions data reports
were complete and accurate. 2009 emissions data reports were
certified by operators and also verified by third-party verifiers
accredited by the Air Resources Board. 2010 emissions reports
have been certified and are in the process of being verified.
Electricity retail providers and marketers also reported
electricity transaction data for 2008, 2009 and 2010. 2009
transaction reports were verified by third party verifiers, 2010
reports are in the process of being verified.
For each data year, there are two summary spreadsheets: a
facility emissions spreadsheet and a power entity transactions
spreadsheet. The 2009 facility and power entity data includes
information on the verification opinion for each reporting
entity. Preliminary 2010 emission data has also been posted.
After the verification deadline of this reporting year (December
1), the 2010 data files will be updated to reflect the final
verification opinion.
Additionally, a summary of the verification program for 2009 data
reported in 2010 is available, along with information regarding
ARB's oversight and audit program, on the verification program
webpage at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-ver/ghg-ver.htm.

arbcombo -- October 20-21, 2011 Public Hearing on Commercial Recycling Changed to Informational Update Only
Please note that the Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a
Proposed Regulation to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by
Requiring Mandatory Commercial Waste Recycling, notice for which
was signed August 23, 2011 and published October 2, 2011, has
been changed to a Public Meeting to Update the Board on Mandatory
Commercial Recycling.
Proposed Regulation to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by
Requiring Mandatory Commercial Waste Recycling, notice for which
was signed August 23, 2011 and published October 2, 2011, has
been changed to a Public Meeting to Update the Board on Mandatory
Commercial Recycling.
ARB staff, in coordination with CalRecycle staff, will present to
the Board an informational update on AB 341. The change is due to
the recent Governor's signing of Assembly Bill 341, which
requires commercial waste recycling similar to the previously
noticed proposal, on which the Board will not be taking action.

arbcombo -- Notice of Public Hearing and Availability of Three Documents for California Cap on GHG Emissions & Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms
The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) will conduct a public
hearing on October 20, 2011, to consider approval of the proposed
California Cap on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Market-Based
Compliance Mechanisms Program.
hearing on October 20, 2011, to consider approval of the proposed
California Cap on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Market-Based
Compliance Mechanisms Program.
ARB has posted on its website the following documents that will
be considered by the Board at a public hearing: Response to
Comments on the Functional Equivalent Document (Response to FED
Comments), Proposed Adaptive Management Plan, and Final
Regulation Order and Compliance Offset Protocols Prepared for the
California Cap on GHG Emissions and Market-Based Compliance
Mechanisms Program.
The hearing notice is available at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2010/capandtrade10/capandtrade10.htm
The October 20, 2011 public meeting agenda is available at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/board/ma/2011/ma102011.htm
The Response to FED Comments document presents ARB staff's
written responses to comments on the Functional Equivalent
Document (FED) posted October 28, 2010 and included as Appendix O
to the Initial Statement of Reasons prepared for the California
Cap on GHG Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms
(Cap-and-Trade) Regulation. Staff prepared written responses to
comments that raise environmental issues and were received during
the initial 45-day comment period prior to the December 16, 2010
Board hearing, at the Board hearing, and during the comment
periods for the two 15-Day Change Notices posted July 25 and
September 12, 2011. In accordance with ARB's Certified
Regulatory Program under CEQA, the Board will consider for
approval the Response to FED Comments prior to the Board taking
final action on the proposed regulation.
The FED also included a commitment to an Adaptive Management Plan
for the cap-and-trade program. Adaptive management is a process
of information gathering, review and analysis, and response that
promotes flexible agency decision-making. It is particularly
appropriate where complex systems are involved, where the effects
of an agency's decisions and actions play out over an extended
period of time, and where the agency must meet multiple
objectives – as in the case of the proposed regulation. Adaptive
management is consistent with ARB's long-standing approach to
program implementation which incorporates on-going evaluation of
how programs and regulations are implemented on the ground,
regular updates to the Board, and adjustments to program
implementation and regulatory requirements, as necessary. The
Board will consider for approval the Proposed Adaptive Management
Plan prior to the Board taking final action on the proposed
regulation.
At the December 2010 hearing, the Board directed ARB staff to
finalize a cap-and-trade regulation. The cap-and-trade program
covers major sources of GHG emissions in the State such as
refineries, power plants, industrial facilities, and
transportation fuels. The regulation includes an enforceable
emissions cap that will decline over time. The State will
distribute allowances, which are tradable permits, equal to the
emissions allowed under the cap. Sources under the cap will need
to surrender allowances and offsets equal to their emissions at
the end of each compliance period. If adopted, the program will
become effective in 2012, with emissions compliance requirements
starting in 2013. Two 15-day notices of regulatory changes were
issued during the cap-and-trade rulemaking. The Final
Cap-and-Trade regulation order, now available for download,
incorporates these changes to the regulation considered by the
Board in December 2010. The four final compliance offset
protocols identify the project types and quantification methods
to generate ARB offsets eligible for use under the cap-and-trade
regulation. The protocols are part of the regulatory package and
are also available for download.

In a separate document, ARB staff will also prepare written
responses to all public comments received, not just comments on
the FED that raised environmental issues. The complete written
responses to all comments will be included in the Final Statement
of Reasons (FSOR) prepared for the cap-and-trade rulemaking.
Upon its completion, the FSOR will be made available in
electronic form on the ARB rulemaking webpage at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2010/capandtrade10/capandtrade10.htm.
