Comment | RE: Support for Expanded Early Action Measures Dear Michael Robert and Tao Huai: I am writing in support of CARB’s recently modified early action measure report. We support the proposal to add to the discrete early action list, extending these measures to high GWP consumer products, SF6 in the non-electric sector, green ports, Smartway truck efficiency, the tire inflation programs, and PFCs in the semi-conductor industry. Also, we support adding refrigerant tracking, energy efficiency in the cement industry, anti-idling enforcement, and collaborative research for nitrogen land application to the Group 2 and 3 early action lists. Additionally, we would like to thank you for including a timeline for implementation of Group 2 and 3 measures; this is essential to providing a clear picture of how the implementation effort will proceed. As you know, Environmental Defense supported the adoption of the initial early action measures proposed in June. We also strongly support the expanded list of early action measures. By taking aggressive early actions to reduce global warming pollution, CARB will both put California on track to meeting its statewide goal of reducing 2020 emissions to 1990 levels and bring immediate benefits to all Californians, particularly in terms of better air quality. We look forward to working with you as the implementing regulations for these measures are developed. If you have any questions, please give me a call at (916) 492-4680. Sincerely, Tim O’Connor Climate Policy Analyst Environmental Defense |
