The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (specifically Health and Safety Code section 38560.5. (a)) stipulates that the Air Resources Board identify and make public a list of discrete early action greenhouse gas emission reduction measures. On October 25, 2007, the Board approved the addition of the Semiconductor Perfluorocarbon Emissions Reduction Strategy as a discrete early action measure. This measure was adopted by the Board on February 26, 2009. This webpage will follow the development of the control measure.
