Posted: 10 Jul 2014 12:38:04
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has issued guidance for disclosures of Corporate Associations, Cap-and-Trade Consultants or Advisors, and knowledgeable employees. ARB has also updated Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS) forms - the Corporate Associations and Structure Form and the Bid Advisor Form. The guidance and forms were posted on July 10, 2014. The guidance and updated forms reflect amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) that went into effect July 1, 2014. The guidance clarifies the required disclosure of corporate associates and details new requirements related to disclosure of Consultants or Advisors and knowledgeable employees. The updated CITSS forms may be used to satisfy the requirement to submit or update information related to the amendments to the Regulation. The guidance is available on the ARB website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/guidance/guidance31a_corporate_associations.pdf. The updated CITSS forms are available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/markettrackingsystem/markettrackingsystem.htm#forms. The Bid Advisor form may be used to satisfy the requirement to notify ARB of the retention of Consultants or Advisors for auction bid strategy. This form is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auction/auction.htm#advisorform. Any changes in information related to Corporate Associations, Consultants or Advisors, or knowledgeable employees must be submitted to ARB by July 31, which is 30 days after the amendments to the Regulation were in effect. For entities participating in the August 18, 2014 auction, any changes in information related to registered Corporate Associates, Advisors or Consultants, or knowledgeable employees must be submitted to ARB by July 18, 2014, the day the auction application window closes.
