These amendments may include changes to reporting and verification deadlines and compliance periods, and changes needed to address federal plan “backstop” requirements.

BACKGROUND Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Regulation The California Air Resources Board (ARB) first approved the MRR in 2007, with revisions in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014. The upcoming 2016 amendments will clarify and update the regulation, including changes to support the C&T Program and for compliance with the U.S. EPA’s Clean Power Plan. Cap-and-Trade Regulation The Board first formally adopted the C&T Regulation in October 2011, and subsequently approved limited amendments to the C&T Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to improve C&T Program efficiency, update the C&T Regulation using the latest information, and chart post-2020 implementation of the C&T Program. More information about ARB’s Cap-and-Trade Program is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm Clean Power Plan On August 3, 2015, U.S. EPA’s Administrator signed its Clean Power Plan, which sets carbon dioxide emissions limits for many existing electric generating units. These regulations are based on section 111(d) (42 U.S.C. § 7411(d)) of the federal Clean Air Act. The Plan was published in the Federal Register on October 23, 2015. States must develop compliance plans to meet these limits and compliance plans are due in September 2016 (with the option to seek extensions). ARB is developing California’s compliance plan in consultation with the California Energy Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission, California’s air districts, and other partners.
