Air Resources Board approves updated environmental analysis of
state climate plan


SACRAMENTO - Today, the California Air Resources Board approved
an updated environmental analysis of the Scoping Plan.

Approval of the updated environmental analysis (known as the
Functional Equivalent Document) was also accompanied by a vote to
re-approve the AB 32 Scoping Plan.  The Board action came after
consideration of public comment to the environmental analysis,
and responses to them.

The action was taken at the conclusion of a presentation to the
Board by ARB staff on the status of AB 32, providing an update on
the full range of actions, measures and initiatives to achieve
the reductions of greenhouse gases required under the law.  These
include the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, the progress on SB 375, and
the forthcoming Advanced Clean Cars program to be considered by
the Board later this year.

ARB's mission is to promote and protect public health, welfare,
and ecological resources through effective reduction of air
pollutants while recognizing and considering effects on the
economy. The ARB oversees all air pollution control efforts in
California to attain and maintain health based air quality
standards.
