Guidance For Use of the Mandatory Reporting Tool for the Purposes of the AB 32 Cost of Implementation Fee Regulation

This page last reviewed January 26, 2011

Purpose

This guidance has been developed to assist both new and existing entities and facilities with the new reporting requirements for purposes of the Regulation. This guidance will not assist in determining whether or not you are subject to the Regulation. For further details on the specifics of the Regulation, please see our website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/adminfee/adminfee.htm or contact ARB.

For the purposes of the guidance, the regulatory sectors are organized into five categories:

• Natural Gas;
• Transportation Fuel Providers;
• Cement Manufacturers;
• First Deliverers of Electricity; and
• Facilities that Combust or Consume Coal, Petroleum Coke, Catalyst Coke, or Refinery Gas.

Within these basic categories, you will find the sectors that are described in the Regulation. This will allow you to access and/or print only those sections of the guidance that apply to you. It is recommended that you review the Guidance Overview as it contains information that explains use of the guidance. Additionally, the section titled All Reporters contains information on how to report data that is required regardless of your specific sector.

New reporters, or those reporting as a new reporting category (e.g. Public Utility Gas Corporation, Facilities that Combust Catalyst Coke, etc.) will need to establish a new account with ARB. To establish a new account, contact: ghgreport@arb.ca.gov. Please provide your contact information, including the name of the entity, and the Regulation category (ies) for which you will be reporting. Additionally, if you are reporting as a Transportation Fuel Producer and wish to report as an entity, please mention this in your request. If you need assistance in determining your reporting category, please contact Bruce Tuter at (916) 324-5932 or btuter@arb.ca.gov, and we will be glad to assist you.
