This page last reviewed October 21, 2008 Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting On December 6, 2007, the Air Resources Board (ARB) approved a regulation for the mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from major sources, pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The Board directed ARB staff to make specified changes and appropriate conforming modifications to the proposed regulation that was released on October 19, 2007. The revised regulation was made available for a "15-day" public review and comment between May 15 and June 5, 2008. ARB staff has reviewed these comments and has proposed additional changes to the regulation. These modifications were listed in a Second Notice and incorporated in double-underline/double-strikeout format in the revised proposed regulation, which was circulated for public review and comment between July 1 and July 15, 2008. A clean version of the revised proposed regulation is now available. ARB staff has now posted a Final Statement of Reasons addressing all comments received during the initial 45-day comment period and the additional 15-day comment periods.A workshop on mandatory reporting requirements was held on June 20 (see staff presentation below). The technical discussions previously scheduled for June 24, June 25, and July 1 have been postponed and will be rescheduled in the fall, in conjunction with the release of instructional guidelines. ARB staff will also hold training workshops for reporting, including the on-line reporting tool and training to support the accreditation of third-party verifiers. This page will be updated as dates for workshops and meetings are finalized.
