arbcombo -- Cap-and-Trade Program allowance allocation-related forms now available
Posted: 01 Aug 2014 14:51:18
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has made available new and updated forms for allocation distribution for publicly owned utilities, electrical cooperatives, and natural gas suppliers; applications for legacy contract transition assistance; notifications of intent to receive allocation as a public service facility; and applications for a limited exemption from the production of qualified thermal output. The new forms reflect amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) that went into effect July 1, 2014. All of these forms and the notice of intent are provided for clarity and convenience and do not supersede any law or regulation. An updated “Publicly Owned Utility or Electricity Cooperative Allocation Distribution Form,” updated “Publicly Owned Utility or Electrical Cooperative Allowance Recipient Confirmation Form,” and new “Natural Gas Supplier Allocation Distribution Form” are available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/allowanceallocation/EDU-NG-allowancedistribution.htm. The information contained in all of these forms is due to ARB by September 2, 2014, for allocation of vintage 2015 allowances. Legacy contract generators may use the newly available “Legacy Contract Transition Assistance Application Form” to request transition assistance for the greenhouse gas emissions associated with legacy contracts. The information contained in this forms is due to ARB by September 2, 2014, for allocation of vintage 2015 allowances. This form is available under the “Other Types of Allocation and Limited Exemptions” section of the Allowance Allocation web page (http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/allowanceallocation/allowanceallocation.htm), or directly at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/allowanceallocation/legacy_contract_application_form.xlsx. Public service facilities may use the newly available “Notice of Intent to Receive Allocation as a Public Service Facility” to inform ARB of their intent to receive transition assistance. We request that the information contained in this form be received by ARB no later than September 2, 2014, for requests for allocation of vintage 2015 allowances. This notice of intent is available under the “Other Types of Allocation and Limited Exemptions” section of the Allowance Allocation web page (http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/allowanceallocation/allowanceallocation.htm), or directly at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/allowanceallocation/psf_notice_of_intent.xlsx Cogeneration units which would not exceed the Cap-and-Trade Program inclusion threshold but for their thermal output produced on site, and district heating facilities that serve multiple end users, none of which would be covered under the Cap-and-Trade Program if they produced the emissions currently produced by the district heating facility in the process of serving that end user, may use the newly available “Application for Limited Exemption of Emissions from Qualified Thermal Output” to apply for a limited exemption of emissions. This notice of intent is available under the “Other Types of Allocation and Limited Exemptions” section of the Allowance Allocation web page (http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/allowanceallocation/allowanceallocation.htm), or directly at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/allowanceallocation/qto_exemption_application_form.xlsx. BACKGROUND: The California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms Regulation (Regulation) was adopted by the California Air Resources Board in October of 2011, and formally went into effect January 1, 2012. Entities subject to the Regulation will have a compliance obligation for their greenhouse gas emissions beginning on January 1, 2013. The Regulation was amended in early 2013 to link the California and Québec programs beginning January 1, 2014, and again on July 1, 2014 to provide additional and revised transition assistance for covered entities, to incorporate additional cost containment mechanisms, to make technical amendments to help with program implementation, and to further enable market oversight.
