Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2015 09:13:41 -0800 Subject: arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: The CoolCalifornia City Challenge: A Statewide Program to Enable Low Carbon Communities (WEBCAST) From: rding@arb.ca.gov “The CoolCalifornia City Challenge: A Statewide Program to Enable Low Carbon Communities”. “Presentations are available for downloading!” Daniel M. Kammen, Ph.D., and Chris M. Jones, Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/seminars/kammen2/kammen2.htm Thursday, January 8, 2015 1:30 pm, PST (WEBCAST) Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California This presentation will highlight the programmatic development and research findings of the CoolCalifornia City Challenge ("The Challenge"), a statewide competition among California cities to motivate residents to reduce household carbon footprints and build more vibrant, sustainable communities. The Challenge uses techniques common to behavior incentivized programs, including comparative feedback, local messengers, social networks, goal setting, persuasive messaging, incentives, and competition to recruit and motivate participants. Participants earn points for engagement with the program, such as tracking household energy consumption and motor vehicle emissions, inviting friends to join, uploading stories, completing a research survey, and for actually reducing their carbon footprint by lowering emissions from household energy use and vehicle travel. Every point earned by households counts toward their city's ranking on the statewide scoreboard. At the end of the program (which lasted one year in 2013 and six months in 2014) the city with the most points is named "Coolest California City" by the California Air Resources Board. The two runners up are each named "Cool California City." The Challenge is sponsored by Energy Upgrade California, which last year distributed $100,000 among cities based on the level of participation by residents in each community.

These handouts can be found at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm. The workshop presentation will be posted the morning of the workshop. The workshop will be held at the following time and place: Date: Friday, January 23, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 This workshop will also be webcast for participants unable to attend in person. The webcast can be accessed on the day of the workshop at http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/ For more information about the AQIP and ARB’s Low Carbon Transportation Investments, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/aqip.htm. If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Andrew Panson at (916) 323-2809 or andrew.panson@arb.ca.gov. Background: AQIP is a voluntary mobile source incentive program administered by ARB providing about $25 million per year through 2023. ARB focuses AQIP investments on technology advancing projects that support California’s long-term air quality and climate change goals in addition to providing immediate emission benefits. Each year, the Board approves the AQIP Funding Plan, which serves as the blueprint for expending AQIP funds. Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide an additional funding source for ARB’s advanced technology clean transportation incentive programs, expanding the types of projects ARB has funded through AQIP. The Governor’s proposed budget for FY 2015-16 would appropriate $200 million from GGRF to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with an emphasis on low carbon freight and passenger transportation investments that benefit disadvantaged communities. ARB staff is developing a joint Funding Plan for the AQIP and GGRF funding sources for the FY 2015-16 funding cycle. ARB staff anticipates releasing the proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan in May 2015 with Board consideration in June 2015. California is in a drought emergency.

DATE: Friday, February 20, 2015 TIME: 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Staff proposed the addition of a new Rice Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and an update to the existing U.S Forest Compliance Offset Protocol under the Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) at the December 2014 Board hearing. The February 20 workshop will address staff’s draft 15-day modifications and allow stakeholders an opportunity to provide informal comments on the modifications. The final 15-day modifications to the new Rice Cultivation and updated U.S. Forest Compliance Offset Protocols will be released for a formal 15-day public comment period in advance of the Board item tentatively scheduled for June 25-26, 2015. A copy of the presentation for the workshop and any proposed draft language will be available the morning of Friday, February 20, 2015 on ARB’s Cap-and-Trade Workshops and Meetings webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live webcast of the workshop will be available at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1. Remote participants will be able to submit e-mail questions during the workshop at an address provided in the presentation. Background The Regulation was formally adopted by ARB in 2011. In response to continued Board direction and further discussions with stakeholders, staff began a public process to propose a new Rice Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and an update to the existing U.S. Forest Compliance Offset Protocol for Board consideration in December 2014. At the December 2014 hearing, the Board directed staff to make appropriate modifications to the protocols and return to the Board at a future date for final consideration. Documents that will be made publicly available prior to the workshop will provide a discussion of draft 15-day modifications to the new Rice Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and the updated U.S. Forest Compliance Offset Protocol. These documents will provide the public with the opportunity to discuss staff’s draft 15-day modifications prior to staff formally releasing the modifications for the 15-day formal public comment period. The public will have additional opportunities to comment on these protocols during the 15-day formal public comment period and Board hearing. California is in a drought emergency.

The guidance will be made publicly available here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm Background The compliance offset program serves as an important cost containment feature of the Cap-and-Trade Program. The Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) requires projects to be in regulatory conformance prior to the issuance of compliance offset credits. And, the Regulation allows ARB to investigate and invalidate any issued compliance offset credits that were generated if the offset project activity and implementation of the offset project was not in accordance with local, state, or national environmental and health and safety regulations during the reporting period for which the ARB offset credit was issued. The guidance document provides additional clarity on the role of verifiers reviewing projects for regulatory conformance and additional clarity on the scope of project activities that would be included in any potential invalidation investigation. ARB will also provide further offset protocol-specific clarifications as part of its existing process to update and publicly post FAQs for the offset program. California is in a drought emergency.

Edward Arens, Ph.D., and Hui Zhang, Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley Tuesday, March 24, 2015 1:00 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Air movement can cool a person indoors in a similar manner as lowering the temperature, but needs only a tiny fraction of the energy. New fans of 1-8 watts producing 0.6 to 1 m/s (1.5 to 2 mph) air movement near each of a building's occupants can offset a 6ºF (3K) increase in indoor air temperature, while actually improving the occupant's comfort and perceived air quality. Increasing the indoor temperature reduces a building's total HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) energy about 5% per degree F, or 10% per degree C, and even more in climate zones where the indoor temperature allows natural ventilation or evaporative cooling systems to be used instead of compressor-based cooling. Across US climates, air movement permits year-round HVAC energy reductions averaging 1000 watts per occupant. The energy reductions possible from improved fan use exceeds that of many other current technological improvement to buildings. The opportunities for new design approaches and new fan products are considerable.

New fans of 1-8 watts producing 0.6 to 1 m/s (1.5 to 2 mph) air movement near each of a building's occupants can offset a 6ºF (3K) increase in indoor air temperature, while actually improving the occupant's comfort and perceived air quality. Increasing the indoor temperature reduces a building's total HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) energy about 5% per degree F, or 10% per degree C, and even more in climate zones where the indoor temperature allows natural ventilation or evaporative cooling systems to be used instead of compressor-based cooling. Across US climates, air movement permits year-round HVAC energy reductions averaging 1000 watts per occupant. The energy reductions possible from improved fan use exceeds that of many other current technological improvement to buildings. The opportunities for new design approaches and new fan products are considerable.

This document provides an overview and status update on the heavy duty technology and fuels available. To view or submit comments on the Draft Overview please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/techreport/comments.htm Contact: Renee Littaua (916) 324-6429 or rlittaua@arb.ca.gov Background Overview California needs a 90 percent reduction in NOx emissions by 2031, and an 80 percent reduction in GHG emissions below 1990 levels by 2050 to meet air quality and climate targets. Significant improvements in efficiency and the use of renewable fuels are also needed to meet the Governor’s 50 percent petroleum reduction target by 2030, and continued reductions in diesel PM and air toxics are necessary to protect public health. Achieving each of these goals will require a transition to zero and near-zero emission technologies in all mobile sources. The Draft Overview highlights technology and fuels that could help us achieve those goals, and covers several heavy-duty technology sectors, including: • trucks and buses • transport refrigeration units • locomotives • fuels – both conventional and alternative fuels • ocean-going vessels • commercial harbor craft (SCAQMD lead) • cargo handling equipment, and • aviation – including aircraft and ground support equipment This technology assessment is on-going and focuses not only on zero and near-zero emission technologies that will ultimately be necessary to meet long-term air quality and climate goals, but also on improvements to conventional technologies and gains in vehicle and freight system operational efficiency that could provide substantial near-term emissions reductions and help facilitate the transition to zero and near-zero emission technologies. The Draft Overview is now posted. More detailed draft assessments for each of the sectors listed above will be posted in 2015, as the drafts are completed. The draft sector reports will evaluate how each technology works, the fuels necessary to power each technology, as well as its state of market readiness, costs, environmental benefits, technology performance, and current deployment challenges. Additional background information on the Heavy Duty Technology and Fuels Assessment effort can be found here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/tech.htm Related Work The technology and fuels assessment draft overview and draft sector reports will help inform a number of on-going state efforts, including ARB’s Sustainable Freight Strategy.

Greg Pannone, President CT-ENERGY, LLC Tuesday, May 5, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California In addition to strict fuel and emission standards, reducing greenhouse gas emissions will require passenger cars and light-duty trucks to have improved aerodynamics, fuel-efficient tires, and reduced weight. In support of the California Air Resources Board's Advanced Clean Cars program, these technologies were assessed for their potential in reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and increasing fuel economy in future passenger vehicles. Model year 2014 vehicles were studied to determine the extent to which these load reducing technologies have already been applied. Using manufacturer-reported information, the aerodynamic drag and tire rolling resistance were estimated for each vehicle model. Vehicle curb weight was combined with other vehicle specifications to evaluate the weight of each vehicle.

Jim Williams, Ph.D. Energy and Environmental Economics (E3) Wednesday, May 13, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Is it possible to deeply reduce carbon emissions in the United States while maintaining a vigorous economy? Dr. Jim Williams will present results from a recent study by Energy and Environmental Economics (E3), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that assesses the technical and economic feasibility of reducing US greenhouse gas emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. It is based on detailed sector by sector, region by region, year by year analysis of the infrastructure changes, technology requirements, and costs of a low carbon transition. The work was sponsored by the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project, an international collaboration of research teams from the 15 largest GHG emitting nations, who are developing long-term scenarios for decarbonization in their own countries. This project aims to bring momentum to the climate dialogue by providing decision makers a more concrete understanding of what limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius would mean for their countries, states, and businesses. In parallel with the US analysis, Dr. Williams and the E3 team used a similar modeling framework to evaluate options for 2030 GHG emission targets for California.

In support of the California Air Resources Board's Advanced Clean Cars program, these technologies were assessed for their potential in reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and increasing fuel economy in future passenger vehicles. Model year 2014 vehicles were studied to determine the extent to which these load reducing technologies have already been applied. Using manufacturer-reported information, the aerodynamic drag and tire rolling resistance were estimated for each vehicle model. Vehicle curb weight was combined with other vehicle specifications to evaluate the weight of each vehicle.

Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) include methane, tropospheric ozone, black carbon, and fluorinated gases. They are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than longer-lived climate pollutants, including carbon dioxide. Their relative potency, when measured in terms of how they heat the atmosphere, can be tens to thousands of times greater than that of carbon dioxide (CO2). Senate Bill 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014) requires ARB, in coordination with other state agencies and local air districts, to develop a SLCP Strategy by the end of 2015, to further reduce SLCP emissions in California. The Concept Paper presents initial ideas that will be considered and evaluated in the coming months by ARB staff, in coordination with other agencies, as it develops a SLCP Strategy pursuant to SB 605. The concepts included in this discussion draft do not represent commitments at this time, nor do they comprise an exhaustive list of elements or considerations that may be included in the Strategy or shape its development. The intent of the paper is to elicit new ideas and refine strategies to reduce emissions of SLCPs throughout the state. The Concept Paper will be discussed at a May 27, 2015, public workshop. The comments received on the Concept Paper will inform the development of a draft Strategy that ARB expects to release for public comment later this summer. ARB welcomes broad participation among stakeholders, experts and interested parties throughout this process. The Concept Paper and workshop notice can be found at ARB's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm The website also contains a link for submitting written comments.

DATE: June 25, 2015 TIME: 9:00 a.m. PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Directions: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPABldg/location.htm To provide your comments before the Board meeting and to view the Notice, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php Interested members of the public may present comments orally or in writing at the meeting and may provide comments by postal mail or by electronic submittal before the meeting. To be considered by the Board, written comments not physically submitted at the meeting, must be received no later than 5:00 pm, June 22, 2015. The report may be obtained from ARB’s website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/ Further inquiries regarding this matter should be directed to Mr. Andrew Panson, Staff Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323-2809, or Mr. Ali Koohestani, Air Resources Technician, at (916) 324-1590. Background: The Governor’s proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget includes $350 million to ARB from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for Low Carbon Transportation investments. This funding would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a priority on benefiting disadvantaged communities. The Governor’s proposed State Budget also includes $23 million to ARB for the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) which provides mobile source incentives to reduce criteria pollutant, air toxic, and GHG emissions. The Low Carbon Transportation investments build upon and greatly expand the technology advancing projects ARB has funded through AQIP since 2009. The proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan describes how these combined funds will be spent. The plan describes ARB’s policy drivers and vision for advanced technology mobile source investments, eligible project categories and criteria, project funding allocations, and program implementation details. ARB staff has developed a joint plan for both funding sources to ensure synergistic investments between the programs while also ensuring that statutory requirements applicable to each are met. The investments proposed in this Funding Plan are predicated on the approval of the proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget. California faces ambitious goals to reduce GHG emissions, improve air quality, deploy zero-emission vehicles, and reduce petroleum dependency. The investments identified in the proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan are pivotal to meeting these goals by accelerating the development and deployment of advanced mobile source technologies.

George Ban-Weiss Ph.D., University of Southern California, Ronnen Levinson, Ph.D., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Jordan Woods, University of California, Berkeley Thursday, June 11, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Cool roofs reflect sunlight and therefore can reduce cooling energy use in buildings. Further, since roofs typically cover about 20-25% of a city, widespread deployment of cool roofs could mitigate the urban heat island effect and partially counter urban temperature increases associated with global scale climate change. The magnitude of these potential benefits for a given city depends on the increase in albedo that can be achieved using reflective roofs. Assessing this increase requires knowledge of roof albedo at the city scale, which until now has been hindered by a lack of reflectance data with sufficient spatial coverage, spatial resolution, and spectral detail.

Allen H. Goldstein, Ph.D., and Pawel K. Misztal, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley Friday, June 12, 2015 10:00 a.m., PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Accurately modeled Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound (BVOC) emissions are an essential input to atmospheric chemistry simulations of ozone and particle formation. BVOC emission models originate from leaf and branch level measurements with scaling to regional or larger spatial levels based on vegetation landcover data derived Basal Emission Factors (BEFs), but they generally lack validation by regional scale measurements. We directly assess isoprene emission-factor databases for BVOC emission models by deriving BEFs from direct airborne fluxes aggregated at 2 km resolution and averaged spatially over ecoregions covering ~10,000 km of California. Ecoregion averaged BEFs from the landcover used by the Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) v. 2.1 BVOC emission model agreed within 10% (r²=0.82) with measured BEFs, with few discrepancies (either overestimation or underestimation).

Background: The Advanced Technology Freight Demonstration Projects under the Low Carbon Transportation Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Investments accelerate the introduction of advanced emission reducing technologies that are on the cusp of commercialization into the California marketplace. A public investment in these technologies helps to achieve significant emission reductions in greenhouse gases, criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants, sooner than would be possible otherwise. This commitment from the State encourages industry to expeditiously invent, develop, test, and introduce cutting edge emission reducing technologies. Finally, Advanced Technology Freight Demonstration Projects leverage public investment with private capital and ingenuity to go beyond what is currently at the technological forefront. This project will provide greenhouse gas, criteria pollutant, and toxic air contaminant emission reduction benefits to specific disadvantaged communities. Eligible disadvantaged communities are identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s California Communities Environmental Health Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen 2.0) that assesses all census tracts in the State to identify areas disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple sources of pollution.

Background: The Advanced Technology Freight Demonstration Projects under the Low Carbon Transportation Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Investments accelerate the introduction of advanced emission reducing technologies that are on the cusp of commercialization into the California marketplace. A public investment in these technologies helps to achieve significant emission reductions in greenhouse gases, criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants, sooner than would be possible otherwise. This commitment from the State encourages industry to expeditiously invent, develop, test, and introduce cutting edge emission reducing technologies. Finally, Advanced Technology Freight Demonstration Projects leverage public investment with private capital and ingenuity to go beyond what is currently at the technological forefront. This project will provide greenhouse gas, criteria pollutant, and toxic air contaminant emission reduction benefits to specific disadvantaged communities. Eligible disadvantaged communities are identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s California Communities Environmental Health Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen 2.0) that assesses all census tracts in the State to identify areas disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple sources of pollution.

The information posted will include the 2013 GHG emission inventory data; supporting documentation including an analysis of emissions trends; as well as an evaluation of the 2013 GHG data reported pursuant to the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Regulation (MRR). The 2013 GHG emission inventory data and supporting documentation will be available at ARB’s GHG Emission Inventory website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/inventory.htm The evaluation of the 2013 MRR data will be available at both the Cap-and-Trade and Mandatory GHG Reporting websites: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghg-rep.htm In addition to the evaluation of the 2013 MRR data, staff will post updated emissions data summary spreadsheets for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 data reporting years, to reflect minor revisions. BACKGROUND: ARB is responsible for developing and maintaining California’s inventory of GHG emissions. An updated GHG emission inventory is published annually to reflect current data. The new GHG inventory covers years 2000 to 2013. The emission estimates are statewide estimates that rely on state, regional or national data sources, and on aggregated facility-specific emissions data reported pursuant to the MRR. Accompanying the GHG inventory data is the “Trends of Emissions and Other Indicators” report, which explains trends in statewide GHG emissions from major sectors. More information can be found at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/inventory.htm 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 GHG emissions beginning on January 1, 2013. The Regulation was amended in early 2013 to link the California and Québec programs beginning January 1, 2014. More information about the California Cap-and-Trade Program is available here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm. The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32, or AB 32) requires ARB to adopt regulations for the mandatory reporting of GHG emissions. The Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions went into effect on January 1, 2009. Over 700 entities, including facilities, fuel suppliers, and electric power importers, are required to report their GHG emissions data to ARB. Emissions data reports from entities with 25,000 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent or greater emissions must be verified by ARB-accredited third-party verifiers. The information in the emissions data reports is used to support ARB’s climate change programs, including California’s Cap-and-Trade Program. More information about the Mandatory GHG Reporting Program is available here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghg-rep.htm California is in a drought emergency.

This research project innovates by applying an experimental - control group research design to study a new light rail transit service in Los Angeles, California. Only two previous studies use an experimental design to assess the impacts of light rail transit, and this study is the first to use an experimental design to measure impacts on vehicle miles traveled--a key determinant of greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. We administered a seven-day travel study to a panel of households in the vicinity of Los Angeles' Expo light rail line before the 2012 start of rail service and twice after the line opened.

In June 2015, the Air Resources Board (ARB) approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 Funding Plan for the Low Carbon Transportation Investments and the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). The Funding Plan allocates up to $59 million to advanced technology demonstration projects and $79.5 million to on-road and off-road pilot projects. These projects will be further developed with public input beginning in the summer of 2015 through a series of work group meetings and individual stakeholder discussions. Work groups will be established for each of the new project categories listed below, and will be used as the forum to discuss project goals, project design, and the scope of work for each project solicitation. If you are interested in participating in one or more of the work groups, please e-mail Stella Ling-Taylor at slingtay@arb.ca.gov by July 22, 2015 and indicate which work group(s) you are interested in. You will then be added to those e-mail distribution list(s). Work group project categories include: • On-Road Truck Demonstrations • Freight Locomotive Demonstrations • Off-Road Freight Equipment Demonstrations • Off-Road Near-Zero Agricultural and Construction Equipment Demonstrations • Off-Road Passenger Transportation Demonstrations • Low NOx Truck Incentives • Zero-Emission Freight Equipment Pilot Commercial Deployment • Off-Road Mobile Agricultural Equipment Trade-Up Pilot in the San Joaquin Valley In addition, a work group has already been established for the Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Pilot Commercial Deployment project. Participants who are already signed up do not need to sign up again, and new participants are always welcome to sign up. For more information about these Pilot Projects and Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects, please visit: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/pilots.htm For more information about AQIP, please visit: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/aqip.htm For more information about the FY 2015-16 Funding Plan, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/fundplan/fundplan.htm If you have any questions regarding this listserve, please contact Meri Miles, Air Pollution Specialist at (916) 322-6370 or via email at mmiles@arb.ca.gov . Background: Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide an additional funding source for ARB’s advanced technology clean transportation incentive programs, expanding the types of projects ARB has funded through AQIP. The State Legislature deferred action on the Administration’s expenditure plan for auction proceeds until later this summer. Contingent on legislative approval, ARB will receive $350 million from auction proceeds for Low Carbon Transportation projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and benefit disadvantaged communities. AQIP is a voluntary mobile source incentive program administered by ARB. ARB focuses AQIP investments on technology advancing projects that support California’s long-term air quality and climate change goals in addition to providing immediate emission benefits. Each year, the Board approves the AQIP Funding Plan, which serves as the blueprint for expending AQIP funds. The FY 2015-16 State Budget includes $23 million for AQIP.

Background This symposium is one of a series of public forums soliciting stakeholder input on five key climate change strategy pillars that Governor Brown identified in his January 2015 inaugural address. The pillars recognize that several major areas of the California economy will need to reduce their emissions to meet the 2030 target. The five pillars are: (1) reducing today’s petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50 percent; (2) increasing from one-third to 50 percent our electricity derived from renewable sources; (3) doubling the efficiency savings achieved at existing buildings and making heating fuels cleaner; (4) reducing the release of methane, black carbon, and other short lived climate pollutants; and (5) managing farm and rangelands, forests and wetlands so they can store carbon.

The second week in the series of public workshops begins August 10, 2015. The four remaining workshops are (shown below). In each location, representatives from the Administration will provide an overview of our early investment concepts and will hear public suggestions. OAKLAND Monday, August 10, 2015 (Evening) FONTANA Wednesday, August 12, 2015 (Morning) LOS ANGELES Wednesday, August 12, 2015 (Evening) SAN DIEGO Thursday, August 13, 2015 (Evening) The original notice with specific times and locations is posted on the Air Resources Board’s Auction Proceeds website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/2015augworkshopnotice.pdf INVESTMENT PLAN: To guide the investment of Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds, the Department of Finance, in consultation with the Air Resources Board and other State agencies, is required to submit a three year Investment Plan to the Legislature which identifies priority investments that will help California achieve its greenhouse gas reduction goals while realizing additional health, economic, and environmental benefits. Currently, the Second Investment Plan is being developed by the Administration, and will cover Fiscal Years 2016-17 through 2018-19. The Draft Concept Paper for the Second Investment Plan presents preliminary high level ideas and draft funding priorities for public discussion. The Draft Concept Paper for the Second Investment Plan is posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/investmentplan. At the series of public workshops, the Administration will introduce and discuss the Draft Concept Paper. Written comments are due September 1, 2015. Public feedback received at the workshops and in writing will inform the preparation of a Draft Second Investment Plan, which will be presented at a second series of workshops and a public hearing later this year. The Final Second Investment Plan is due from the Department of Finance to the Legislature in January 2016. FUNDING GUIDELINES: Each year, the Governor and Legislature determine which State agencies and programs will receive appropriations from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to invest in projects that reduce greenhouse gases, consistent with the three year Investment Plan. State law requires the Air Resources Board to develop guidance for all State agencies that receive appropriations, including guidance on reporting, quantification methods, and maximizing benefits to disadvantaged communities. To comply with this law, the Air Resources Board is developing Funding Guidelines to help these agencies use their appropriations in a way that reduces greenhouse gases, furthers the purposes of Assembly Bill 32, maximizes benefits to disadvantaged communities, and meets the other statutory requirements. The Draft Funding Guidelines and a short supplement are available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/fundingguidelines.htm. At the series of public workshops, Air Resources Board staff will discuss the Draft Funding Guidelines. Public feedback received will inform the preparation of the proposed Funding Guidelines, which will be presented at an Air Resources Board public hearing on September 24-25, 2015. For additional information on the State’s investment of Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds, please visit: http://www.arb.ca.gov/auctionproceeds. BACKGROUND: Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32; Nunez, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006) is a comprehensive, multi-year program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California. The Air Resources Board has adopted a Scoping Plan and, together with other State and local agencies, has developed and implemented numerous regulations and programs to reduce emissions and meet AB 32 goals.

AB 32 created a comprehensive, multi-year program to reduce GHG emissions in California. AB 32 required ARB to develop and approve a Scoping Plan that describes the approach the State will take to reduce GHGs to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The Scoping Plan was first approved by the Board in 2008 and, per AB 32, must be updated every five years to evaluate the mix of AB 32 policies to ensure that California is on track to achieve the 2020 GHG reduction goal. The 2013 First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan defined ARB’s climate change priorities for the next five years and laid the groundwork to start the transition to the post-2020 goals set forth in Executive Orders S-3-05 and B-16-2012. The 2013 Update also recommended the need for a 2030 mid-term target to establish a continuum of action to reduce emissions, not just for stated limits in 2020 or 2050, but also every year in between. The 40 percent below 1990 levels mid-term target set by Executive Order B-30-15 is critical to help frame the additional suite of policy measures, regulations, planning efforts, and investments in clean technologies and infrastructure needed to continue driving down emissions. Workshop Materials An agenda and presentation material will be made available prior to the public meeting.

Friday, Oct, 2, 2015 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Byron Sher Auditorium CalEPA Headquarters Building 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Webcast: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1 Purpose of Workshop This workshop will commence the public process to develop 2016 amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation and Clean Power Plan compliance effort, and it will include ARB staff presentations on three topics: (1) general Cap-and-Trade Regulation amendments, (2) cost-containment and market oversight provisions, and (3) California’s plan for compliance with the U.S. EPA Clean Power Plan, issued under the federal Clean Air Act. First, staff will present general goals for the upcoming amendment process and seek input from stakeholders on potential Regulation amendments that will apply to the Program’s third compliance period and to the post-2020 Program. Amendments impacting the Program in the third compliance period are expected to address the following areas: streamlining offsets, auctions, and management of information in the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS); updating leakage prevention in response to emissions leakage studies; and including sector-based offset credits. Potential amendments for the post-2020 Program include the general Program scope, the post-2020 cap, Program linkage, allowance allocation, and the Program’s plan for compliance with the U.S. EPA 111(d) rule. Revisions to other areas of the Regulation will be considered to clarify language. Second, staff will present on cost-containment and market oversight provisions and seek input from stakeholders on possible amendments. Third, staff will present on initial thinking and options for California’s Clean Power Plan compliance plan, focusing on potential interactions with the Cap-and-Trade Regulation, which staff anticipates will play a large role in the compliance plan. A staff white paper on these issues will be available before the workshop. The expected schedule for the October 2 workshop is as follows: 9 am – 11:30 pm General Cap-and-Trade Regulation amendments 1 pm – 3 pm Cost-containment and market oversight provisions 3 pm – 5 pm Compliance plan for the U.S. EPA 111(d) rule Following the workshop, stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide written comments during an informal comment period which will conclude at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on Monday, October 19, 2015. Copies of workshop presentations will be available on ARB’s Cap-and-Trade Workshops and Meetings webpage at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm, as well as at ARB’s Clean Power Plan webpage at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/powerplants/powerplants2.htm. All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live webcast of the workshop will be available at http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1. Remote participants may e mail questions during the workshop to an address provided in the presentation. Tentative Schedule for Cap-and-Trade Amendment Workshops Staff will also hold a series of public workshops to discuss additional specific Program topics in detail. The tentative schedule for these workshops is as follows: Date and Time Wednesday, October 28, 2015 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Thursday, October 29, 2015 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday, November 9, 2015 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Tuesday, January 12, 2016 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Tuesday, February 9, 2016 10:00 am – 5:00 pm These workshops will be held in Byron Sher Auditorium in the Cal/EPA Headquarters Building at 1001 I Street in Sacramento, California. A formal notice to announce each workshop will be issued once the details and topics for that workshop become final. Further workshops are also tentatively planned for 111(d)-related topics as part of the compliance plan development process. These will be announced as they are finalized. Background Cap-and-Trade Regulation ARB first formally adopted the Regulation in October 2011. The Board has subsequently approved limited amendments to the Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to improve Program efficiency and chart post-2020 implementation of the 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. 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. More information about the Clean Power Plan and related rules is available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/powerplants/powerplants2.htm. California is in a drought emergency.

Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) include methane, black carbon, and fluorinated gases. They are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than longer-lived climate pollutants, including carbon dioxide. Their relative potency, when measured in terms of how they heat the atmosphere, can be tens to thousands of times greater than that of carbon dioxide. Senate Bill 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014) requires ARB, in coordination with other state agencies and local air districts, to develop a SLCP Strategy by the end of 2015, to reduce SLCP emissions in California. The Draft Strategy describes ongoing and potential new measures to reduce SLCP emissions from major sources in the State, and describes current and future research needs for improving the SLCP emission inventory and better understanding potential mitigation measures. The Draft Strategy will be discussed at public workshops in October. Comments received on the Draft Strategy will inform the development of a Proposed Strategy, which will be will presented to the Board in late 2015. ARB welcomes broad participation of stakeholders, experts, and interested parties throughout this process. The Draft Strategy can be found at ARB's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm The website also contains a link for submitting written comments on the Draft Strategy.

Background Short-lived climate pollutants are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than major climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide. Their relative potency in terms of how they heat the atmosphere can be tens to thousands of times greater than CO2. Short-lived climate pollutants include methane, black carbon, and fluorinated gases. The impacts of short-lived climate pollutants are especially strong within the near term. Reducing these emissions can have an immediate beneficial impact on climate change. Senate Bill 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014) requires ARB, in coordination with other State agencies and local air districts, to develop a strategy by the end of 2015, to further reduce short-lived climate pollutant emissions in California.

If you have questions regarding this Grant Solicitation, please contact Ms. Leslie Goodbody at leslie.goodbody@arb.ca.gov or (916) 323-2961. Background: The Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Pilot Commercial Deployment Projects under the Low Carbon Transportation Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Investments will encourage adoption of early commercial zero-emission technologies by placing significant numbers of zero-emission trucks and buses in a handful of strategic “hubs,” and supporting advanced technology clusters with infrastructure, marketing, and workforce training. This technology hub concept can help address many of the deployment challenges by supporting economies of scale in manufacturing, workforce training, vehicle maintenance and repair, and infrastructure issues. A public investment in these deployments helps to achieve significant emission reductions in greenhouse gases, criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants, sooner than would be possible otherwise. This commitment from the State will identify steps needed to overcome challenges associated with widespread deployments within the pilot project industries, and identify ways to transfer zero-emission technologies to other industry sectors, such as long-haul trucking. This project will provide benefits to disadvantaged communities. Disadvantaged communities are identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s California Communities Environmental Health Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen 2.0) that assesses all census tracts in the State to identify areas disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple sources of pollution.

DATE: October 22, 2015 TIME: 9:00 a.m. PLACE: South Coast Air Quality Management District Auditorium 21865 E. Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765-4182 Or Via Videoconference: California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Interested members of the public may present comments orally or in writing at the meeting and may provide comments by postal mail or by electronic submittal before the meeting. To be considered by the Board, written comments not physically submitted at the meeting, must be received no later than 5:00 pm, October 19, 2015, and addressed to the following: Postal mail: Clerk of the Board, Air Resources Board 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California 95814 Electronic submittal: http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php Further inquiries regarding this matter should be directed to Ms. Graciela Garcia, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323 2781, or Mr. Ali Koohestani, Air Resources Technician, at (916) 324 1590. Background: At the June 25, 2015 Board meeting, the Board approved the proposed FY 2015 16 Funding Plan which describes how ARB would spend $350 million in Low Carbon Transportation funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and $23 million for AQIP. At the time of the June 2015 Board action, the Legislature had not yet appropriated the Low Carbon Transportation funds to ARB, so the Funding Plan was contingent on appropriation of these funds. In September 2015, the Legislature appropriated $90 million in Low Carbon Transportation project funding to ARB. This appropriation is intended to provide continued funding for existing projects in order to avoid implementation disruptions while the Legislature considers the rest of the Governor’s Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds budget proposal. Staff proposes to allocate the $90 million to the following three existing vehicle rebate and voucher projects with ongoing consumer demand: the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project; Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program Plus-Up Pilot Project to Benefit Disadvantaged Communities; and the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project. Implementation of the remaining nine projects in the FY 2015-16 Funding Plan would be deferred until additional funds are appropriated by the Legislature.

Wednesday, October 28, 2015 10:00 am – 4:00 pm Byron Sher Auditorium CalEPA Headquarters Building 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Webcast: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/Broadcast/ Purpose of Workshop On October 2, 2015, ARB staff held an initial workshop to discuss the scope and regulatory schedule for potential amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation for the third compliance period and the post-2020 program. Sector-based offset crediting was one of the topics described in the scope of these potential amendments. The October 28, 2015 workshop will commence the public process to evaluate potential next steps for considering the potential to include international, sector-based offset credits issued by subnational programs designed to reduce emissions from tropical deforestation and forest degradation within the Cap-and-Trade Regulation. In preparation of the October 28, 2015 workshop, ARB staff will release a white paper describing the importance of the tropical forestry sector for addressing climate change, the history of California’s engagement on this topic, including with the Governors’ Climate and Forests Task Force (GCF), the relevance to California, and possible steps needed to develop potential regulatory amendments related to tropical forest sector-based crediting programs. The white paper will also include an initial analysis of a set of recommendations provided to ARB by the REDD Offset Working Group in 2013. This white paper, along with the REDD Offset Working Group recommendations and other materials will be made available at noon on Monday, October 19, 2015 at www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/sectorbasedoffsets/sectorbasedoffsets.htm. The tentative schedule for the October 28 workshop is as follows: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm General Overview and Discussion of White Paper 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm Discussion with GCF Jurisdictions and Tropical Forest Community Representatives 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm Technical Discussion of Monitoring, Reporting & Verification of Tropical Forest Programs 3:30 pm – 4:00 pm Discussion on Next Steps and Administrative Process Following the workshop, stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide written comments during an informal comment period which will conclude at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on Monday, November 16, 2015. Comments may be submitted at http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php. Presentation slides for this workshop will be posted at 8:00 am on October 28, 2015, at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm. All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live webcast of the workshop will be available at http://www.calepa.ca.gov/Broadcast/. Remote participants may e-mail questions during the workshop to auditorium@calepa.ca.gov. Additional technical meetings and workshops on specific topics raised in the white paper and in the October 28, 2015 workshop will likely follow in the coming months. A notice will be issued to announce each of these meetings once details and topics become final. Background Cap-and-Trade Regulation ARB first formally adopted the Regulation in October 2011. The Board has subsequently approved limited amendments to the Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to improve Program efficiency and chart post-2020 implementation of the Program. California first recognized the importance of addressing emissions from the deforestation and degradation of tropical forests in the 2008 AB 32 Scoping Plan. California further recognized this importance through the inclusion of general placeholder provisions within the Cap-and-Trade Regulation adopted in 2011 and later in the first update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan in 2014. ARB staff has continued to evaluate these types of programs, including through California’s membership in the Governors’ Climate and Forests Task Force, a coalition of 29 subnational jurisdictions seeking to advance jurisdictional programs designed to promote low emissions development and reduced emissions from deforestation and land use, and to link these activities with greenhouse gas compliance programs and other pay-for-performance opportunities.

The meetings are open to the public and full participation by all parties is encouraged. Locations and dates of the meetings are: Sacramento: November 5, 2015 Los Angeles: November 9, 2015 Fresno: November 10, 2015 El Cerrito: November 16, 2015 Additional meeting details are included in the notice that is posted here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/adaptivemanagement/meetings/notice.pdf ARB's Adaptive Management Program website is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/adaptivemanagement/adaptivemanagement.htm An update on the status of the development of the Adaptive Management Program will be presented at the November 19, 2015 Public Board Hearing. An agenda and presentation will be posted before the meetings. ARB staff plans to continue work on the Cap-and-Trade Adaptive Management process over the next several months and plans to hold additional public meetings in early 2016 to solicit public input. Staff intends to present a final proposed Adaptive Management Process to the Board in spring/early summer 2016. Background Adaptive management is a process of information gathering, review and analysis, and response that promotes flexible public agency decision-making. This process is appropriate where complex systems are involved, where the effects of an agency’s actions might play out over an extended period of time. Adaptive management is consistent with ARB’s long-standing approach to program implementation that incorporates on-going evaluation of how programs and regulations are implemented on the ground, regular updates to the Board, and adjustments to program implementation and regulatory requirements, as necessary. ARB committed to use the adaptive management approach as an integral part of implementing the Cap-and-Trade program in order to address unanticipated adverse air quality impacts that could result from the program.

The advisory committee is comprised of representatives from communities in the State with the most significant exposure to air pollution, including, but not limited to, communities with minority populations or low-income populations, or both. The Board appointed the first environmental justice advisory committee to advise it on the Initial Scoping Plan and other climate change programs. To advise the Board on the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan, ARB reconvened a new EJAC on March 21, 2013. To replace members that either changed positions and had to resign from the Committee or were unable to serve, the Board appointed four new members on September 25, 2015. The EJAC will advise the Board on the development of the 2030 Target Scoping Plan, per Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-30-15. Committee meetings are open to the public and include a public comment period.

DATE: Monday, December 14, 2015 TIME: 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PLACE: CalEPA Headquarters Building Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 This workshop is part of the public process to develop the State’s Clean Power Plan compliance proposal and 2016 amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation related to the electricity sector. Staff will present policy options and modeling results and seek stakeholder input regarding California’s potential strategy for Clean Power Plan compliance. The staff presentation will include initial approaches and results for electricity sector carbon emissions analysis consistent with the Clean Power Plan, and options for continued analysis, as well as initial discussion for how California’s compliance plan may interact with regional electricity and carbon markets. Staff will also discuss potential modifications to the Cap and Trade and Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Regulations, including modifications which may be effective in the post-2020 Program, and to permitting programs, which may be proposed in 2016 to enable Clean Power Plan compliance. Staff anticipates that the Cap-and-Trade Regulation will play a large role in the Clean Power Plan compliance plan. These amendments may include changes to reporting and verification deadlines, compliance periods, changes needed to address federal plan “backstop” requirements, and treatment of imported electricity. A staff white paper on many of these issues is available on ARB’s Power Plants webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/powerplants/powerplants.htm Staff will also present Cap and Trade Regulation goals for the upcoming amendment process and seek input from stakeholders on potential Regulation amendments that will apply to the Program’s third compliance period and to the post 2020 Program. Third compliance period amendments to be discussed by staff at this meeting will include changes to the Renewable Portfolio Standard adjustment for compliance obligations. Staff does not plan to discuss proposals for post 2020 electrical distribution utility allocation until early 2016. Finally, staff will discuss potential amendments or processes related to the electricity sector including the recent mandates of SB 350 for the electricity sector. Environmental Analysis Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and ARB’s Certified Regulatory Program (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §15251(d); Cal. Code Regs., tit. 17, §§ 60000–60008), staff is reviewing the Clean Power Plan and Cap and Trade Regulatory Amendments to determine if the proposed project will result in any potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. An environmental analysis (EA) will be released for a 45-day public review and comment period with the proposed Clean Power Plan and Cap and Trade Regulatory Amendments to be released in the spring. Comments received at this public workshop will be considered when preparing the CEQA document. A copy of the presentation and other workshop materials will be available on ARB’s Power Plants webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/powerplants/powerplants.htm and Cap and Trade Workshops and Meetings webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm Materials will be posted by December 14, 2015, at 8:00 a.m. All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live webcast of the workshop will be available at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1 Remote participants will be able to submit e-mail questions during the workshop at an address provided in the presentation. Background Cap-and-Trade Regulation The Board first formally adopted the Regulation in October 2011, and subsequently approved limited amendments to the Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to improve Program efficiency, update the Regulation using the latest information, and chart post-2020 implementation of the 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.

From: ggrfprogram@arb.ca.gov The Revised Draft Second Investment Plan for Fiscal Years 2016-17 through 2018-19 is available. Information can be found at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/investmentplan. To guide the investment of Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds, the Department of Finance, in consultation with the Air Resources Board and other State agencies, is required to submit a three year Investment Plan to the Legislature that identifies investments to help California achieve its greenhouse gas reduction goals, while realizing additional health, economic, and environmental benefits. The Investment Plan does not propose any specific funding levels or percentage allocations–those decisions are made by the Legislature in the annual State Budget process. The Revised Draft Second Investment Plan is now available and will be presented at the December 17, 2015 Board hearing. At the Board hearing, staff will provide an overview of the draft recommendations presented in the document. Written comments are due by December 14, 2015.

These estimates are for State-owned allowances only and do not include estimates of allowances consigned for sale by utilities from their electricity or natural gas allocation. Background Under the Cap-and-Trade Program, emissions caps and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) allowance budgets are calculated for each calendar year. In the Cap-and-Trade Program, the calendar year from which the allowances are assigned is referred to as the “budget year.” California GHG allowances are sold at one of four quarterly auctions held by ARB each year in February, May, August, and November. Proceeds from State-owned allowances sold in the quarterly auctions are deposited into the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. The estimates of total State-owned allowances will be accessible via ARB's Cap-and-Trade website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm. The website will contain additional information on the assumptions used for estimating State-owned allowances as well as additional information on the Cap-and-Trade Program.

The first report provides a detailed summary of covered entity compliance status for the first compliance period (2013-2014) of the California Cap-and-Trade Program. The second report is the Summary of Transfers Registered in CITSS by California and Québec Entities in 2014, which provides details on the number of completed transfers, the quantity of compliance instruments transferred between market participants, and the weighted average prices of the transfers. The two reports will be posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm. 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 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. The first compliance period status report will contain a detailed list of covered entities and a tabulation of the compliance instruments they submitted to meet their obligations for the first compliance period. On November 4, 2014, covered entities were required to surrender compliance instruments to cover 30% of their 2013 emissions. ARB published a report for 2013 compliance at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/2013compliancereport.xlsx. On November 2, 2015, covered entities were required to surrender compliance instruments to cover the remaining 70% of their 2013 emissions, and 100% of their 2014 emissions. For this compliance surrender, both vintage 2013 and 2014 allowances were eligible for compliance use. Covered entities also may have used offset credits up to the quantitative usage limit specified in section 95854 of the Regulation (up to eight percent). Future vintage year allowances generally could not be used to satisfy the first compliance period obligation, with the limited exception of certain entities who have received 2015 and 2016 true-up allowances as described in section 95894 of the Regulation. The second data report tabulates the transfers of compliance instruments made through the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS) in 2014. For transfers of allowances, the table provides a breakdown by vintage and whether the transfer was priced or unpriced. Most transactions between independent market participants, such as bilateral transactions or transactions cleared on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), are conducted at a price that is entered into the transfer request in CITSS. However, there are numerous transactions made without an explicit price. These include, for example, transfers between corporate associates, between an electric distribution utility and a generator as part of a power purchase agreement, between publicly-owned utilities, or as part of an agreement that transfers compliance instruments with other products. The table contains a separate accounting of transfers of offsets, again with a breakdown between priced and unpriced transfers. Offsets transfers are further broken down by project type. Additional Information If you have any questions about the information in this email or the information contained in the tables, please contact Jason Gray, Manager, Market Monitoring Section, at (916) 324-3507 or jason.gray@arb.ca.gov.

ARB staff will seek input on existing project categories being funded through these programs, potential new project categories, and a statutorily required long-term plan for light-duty vehicle incentives. The workshop will be held at the following time and place: Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 Time: 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 This workshop will also be webcast for participants unable to attend in person. Directions to Cal/EPA headquarters and public transit can be found at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPAbldg/location.htm. A meeting notice for the workshop is posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm. For more information about the ARB’s Low Carbon Transportation Investments and AQIP, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/. If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Andrew Panson at (916) 323-2809 or andrew.panson@arb.ca.gov. Background: Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide funding for ARB’s advanced technology, clean transportation incentive programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, expanding the types of projects ARB has funded through AQIP. These investments accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation, with an emphasis on low carbon freight and passenger transportation investments that benefit disadvantaged communities. The FY 2014-15 State budget appropriated $200 million to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects, and the FY 2015-16 State budget appropriated $95 million to ARB with additional funding still pending before the Legislature. ARB expects to receive another appropriation for Low Carbon Transportation investments from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund the FY 2016-17 State Budget. Hence, ARB staff intends to develop a joint Funding Plan for the Low Carbon Transportation and AQIP for the FY 2016-17 funding cycle as it has done in the past two budget cycles.

The role of the Scoping Plan Economic Reviewers will also be discussed. Prior to the Scoping Plan Update related discussions, the day will begin with a presentation of potential updates to the state’s greenhouse (GHG) emission inventory methodology. DATE: Friday, January 15, 2016 TIME: 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PLACE: CalEPA Headquarters Building Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 This workshop is part of the public process to update the Scoping Plan to reflect the Governor’s Executive Order B-30-15, which establishes a mid-term GHG reduction target for California of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. All state agencies with jurisdiction over sources of GHG emissions were directed to implement measures to achieve reductions of GHG emissions to meet the 2030 and 2050 targets. ARB was directed to update the AB 32 Scoping Plan to reflect the 2030 target, and therefore, is moving forward with the update process. Presentations will include a high-level overview of the modeling tools that will be used to evaluate the economic impact of policies that may be proposed to help achieve the 2030 target. Presentations will also include an outline of the California PATHWAYS model, including model inputs and outputs, and a preliminary list of policies to be considered in the Reference Scenario. The workshop will also include an introduction to the economic reviewers for the 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update. The discussion will include information on the role, tasks, and timeline for the economic reviewers. The economic reviewers may provide initial thoughts on the tools and methods proposed for the economic modeling and evaluation for the 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update. Staff will also discuss potential updates to the State’s GHG inventory methodology. These potential updates may include changes to the treatment of biofuels and other sources to better align the inventory methods with changes to national and international accounting methods. A copy of the presentation and other workshop materials will be available on Scoping Plan webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm Materials will be posted by January 15, 2016, at 8:30 a.m. All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live webcast of the workshop will be available at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1 Remote participants will be able to submit e-mail questions during the workshop at an address provided in the presentation. Background Scoping Plan In 2006, the Legislature passed the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32 [AB 32]; Stats. 2006, chapter 488). AB 32 created a comprehensive, multi-year program to reduce GHG emissions in California. AB 32 required ARB to develop and approve a Scoping Plan that describes the approach the State will take to reduce GHGs to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The Scoping Plan was first approved by the Board in 2008 and, per AB 32, must be updated every five years to evaluate the mix of AB 32 policies to ensure that California is on track to achieve the 2020 GHG reduction goal. The 2013 First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan defined ARB’s climate change priorities for the next five years and laid the groundwork to start the transition to the post-2020 goals set forth in Executive Orders S-3-05 and B-16-2012. The 2013 Update also recommended the need for a 2030 mid-term target to establish a continuum of action to reduce emissions, not just for stated limits in 2020 or 2050, but also in between. The 40 percent below 1990 levels mid-term target set by Executive Order B-30-15 is critical to help frame the additional suite of policy measures, regulations, planning efforts, and investments in clean technologies and infrastructure needed to continue driving down emissions. More information about the Scoping Plan is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm California Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory Program The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB) determine the statewide 1990 greenhouse gas (GHG) emission level and approve a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit, equal to the 1990 level, to be achieved by 2020. Assembly Bill 1803, which became law in 2006, made ARB responsible to prepare, adopt, and update California’s greenhouse gas inventory.
