On June 16, 2015, ARB staff released a discussion draft of its
Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds Funding Guidelines for Agencies
that Administer California Climate Investments to seek public
comment prior to Board consideration in late July. A broad range
of stakeholders requested ARB extend the public process to allow
more time for review, development of coalition responses, and
input to influence the revised proposal to be presented to the
Board.  ARB staff is implementing several changes in response.  

1.  ARB has moved Board consideration of the proposed Funding
Guidelines from its July 23 meeting to its September 24-25, 2015
meeting (in Diamond Bar).  This change will allow us to continue
accepting public comment on the June 16 draft through late
August.  We will leave the electronic comment log open until we
publish the next version (the proposed Guidelines) in late
August/early September for Board consideration on September
24-25.  ARB staff have also posted a short supplement to the
draft Funding Guidelines that describes some of the changes we
are making in response to the public comments received thus far. 
The supplement is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/fundingguidelines.htm.

2.  ARB has added a second dedicated workshop on the draft
Funding Guidelines, scheduled in Los Angeles on July 16.

3.  ARB will shortly be announcing a series of public workshops
on both a draft Investment Plan concept paper and the draft
Funding Guidelines to be held in multiple locations around the
State during the first two weeks of August.
