California is in the process of evaluating Quebec’s cap-and-trade program for the purposes of a joint market program where California and Quebec would agree to mutually accept each others compliance instruments.  To enable this mutual acceptance of compliance instruments, California has initiated a public process to amend the cap-and-trade regulation.  Any staff recommended amendments for Board consideration will go through a full rule making process as required under the Administrative Procedure Act. 

2012 Proposed Amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation 

Summary of Public Process

ARB held its first public workshop to discuss the scope of amendments on February 3, 2012. 

ARB staff will be holding a second public workshop to discuss draft proposed amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation to allow for the mutual acceptance of compliance instruments with Quebec on April 9, 2012.
