Comment:
On behalf of the organizations and businesses listed in the attached letter, we welcome the opportunity to comment on the May 17th ARB staff workshop on cap-and-trade program design. We are concerned that agricultural GHG emissions reduction activities were not included in the description of target activities under the Community Benefits Fund and the Carbon Trust. This runs counter to the recommendations from three advisory committees to ARB. Moreover, we do not support placing the Community Benefits Fund and the Carbon Trust in the second tier of allowance allocation. This will delay much needed resources to support GHG emission reduction strategies in the state. Please see the attached letter.
