Identified parties have provided information to ARB, and the Executive Officer has requested and received additional information to make a final determination. This notice begins the regulatory 30-day period for the Executive Officer to make a final determination as to whether ARB will invalidate any compliance offset credits generated at the Facility. After the 30-day period begins, the Executive Officer may issue the final determination at any time and does not need to wait for the 30-day period to conclude. The release of the final determination will be noticed ahead of time to ensure all market participants receive the information simultaneously. Once the final determination is made publicly available, offsets determined to be valid that were not allowed to be transferred during the investigation will no longer be blocked from being transferred. Additional Information Additional information about this investigation can be found in this FAQ: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/offsets/bos_dairy_offset_investigation_faq.pdf If you have questions or comments, contact Jason Gray at (916) 324-3507 or via email at jason.gray@arb.ca.gov.

Carbon capture and sequestration has the potential to deliver significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions and is a prospective strategy for meeting California’s 2050 climate goals. In order to advance CCS policy in California, ARB needs to understand the ability of CCS to contribute to climate goals, the limitations or advantages of the technology, and the innovation and incentives necessary for adoption. A necessary first step will be the development of an appropriate CCS Quantification Methodology (QM) for CCS projects. The CCS QM will provide a pathway for CCS projects to participate in ARB’s Cap and Trade and Low Carbon Fuel Standard Programs. As the first in a series of workshops on ARB’s CCS program, the objective of this first workshop is two-fold: 1) provide a high level overview of what CCS is and why it is important to California and 2) kick-off public development of the CCS QM, including the role of CCS in existing California regulations and ARB’s plan for development of the QM. The workshop will be held at the following time and place: Date: Friday, February 12, 2016 Time: 9:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Sierra 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 and agenda for the workshop is posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ccs/meetings/meetings.htm . For more information about the ARB’s CCS Program, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ccs/ccs.htm . If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Johanna Levine at (916) 322-3499 or johanna.levine@arb.ca.gov. Background: Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is an important strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigate climate change. CCS is a process by which large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) are captured, compressed, transported, and sequestered. ARB is currently developing a quantification methodology to be utilized when determining carbon emission reductions from CCS for both the Cap and Trade and Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs. Studies by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the California Council on Science and Technology (CCST), have shown that CCS has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by millions of metric tons, and may be an integral part of meeting California’s long term climate goals.

The meeting notice and agenda are posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/meetings/meetings.htm Background: The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, (AB 32) calls for the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) to convene a global warming environmental justice advisory committee, to advise the Board in developing the scoping plan, and any other pertinent matter in implementing AB 32. 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.

These investments accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation, supporting the Governor’s climate change strategy pillar of a 50 percent reduction in petroleum use in vehicles by 2030 and the Administration’s goal to deploy 1.5 million zero emission vehicles in California by 2025. The FY 2014-15 State budget appropriated $200 million to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with a target that at least half the investments benefit disadvantaged communities. The FY 2015-16 State budget appropriated another $95 million. ARB expects to receive another appropriation for Low Carbon Transportation investments from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund in the FY 2016-17 State Budget. 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. AQIP is a voluntary, mobile source incentive program that focuses on reducing criteria pollutant and diesel particulate emissions with concurrent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. AQIP has an annual budget of about $25 million. 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. In recent years, the majority of AQIP funds have gone towards the Truck Loan Assistance Program which helps small business truckers to secure financing for newer trucks or diesel exhaust retrofits in advance of compliance deadlines for ARB’s in-use truck and bus regulation.

On September 29, 2015, ARB initiated an investigation of compliance offset credits issued for livestock methane destruction events that took place at the T&M Bos Dairy in Fair Oaks, Indiana (Facility). The investigation considered whether these offset credits may have been generated while the facility was not in compliance with air permitting rules of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management’s Office of Air Quality. After careful review of materials provided throughout the course of this investigation, ARB’s Executive Officer has made a final determination regarding these offsets. The final determination will be made publicly available at 12:00 (noon) Pacific Time, February 10, 2016, here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm Background ARB has been reviewing whether compliance offset credits issued for livestock methane destruction events that took place at the Facility were generated while the Facility was not in compliance with provisions of air permitting rules issued by the Office of Air Quality in Indiana’s Department of Environmental Management. ARB believes the greenhouse gas reductions represented by the offsets are real, quantified, and verified reductions. The offset program serves as an important cost containment feature of the Cap-and-Trade Program. The Cap-and-Trade 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 all local, state, or national environmental and health and safety regulations during the reporting period for which the ARB offset credit was issued. During the period of review and until a final determination is issued, ARB has blocked transfers of potentially impacted compliance offset credits. Once ARB blocked the transfer of compliance offset credits under investigation on September 29, 2015, all parties identified as holders of potentially impacted compliance offset credits had 25 calendar days to provide additional information to ARB to aid in the review. ARB also requested specific additional information to aid in its review.On January 13, 2016, issued a notice to commence the Executive Officer’s 30 calendar days period within which to make a final determination whether to invalidate any compliance offset credits subject to review. Any compliance offset credits determined to meet the requirements of the Regulation will no longer be blocked from being transferred. California is in a drought emergency.

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.

From: tclarksj@arb.ca.gov The Air Resources Board (ARB) invites you to participate in a public workshop on the FY 2016-17 Funding Plan for Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels Investments and AQIP. ARB staff will seek input on draft funding allocations, project categories, and project criteria for these programs and a statutorily required long-term plan for light-duty vehicle incentives. The workshop will be held at the following time and place: Date: Monday, April 4, 2016 Time: 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 A meeting notice for the workshop is posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm. This workshop will also be webcast for participants unable to attend in person. The broadcast can be accessed on the day of the workshop at http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/. Directions to Cal/EPA headquarters and public transit can be found at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPAbldg/location.htm. For more information about ARB’s Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels 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. AQIP is a mobile source incentive program that focuses on reducing criteria pollutant and diesel particulate emissions with concurrent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The Governor’s proposed FY 2016-17 Budget would direct $500 million for ARB to continue Low Carbon Transportation investments, including $40 million for low carbon fuel production incentives. The Governor’s proposed Budget also includes $28.6 million for AQIP projects. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.

This workshop will support the process to update the AB 32 Scoping Plan to reflect California’s goal to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, as directed in Executive Order B-30-15. Prior to the jointly-hosted Natural and Working Lands sector public workshop, the Forest Climate Action Team (FCAT) will also hold a separate public workshop to discuss recent progress towards development of the Forest Carbon Plan. The FCAT workshop will be held from 9:00am to 12:00pm at the same location. The announcement for the FCAT Forest Carbon Plan public workshop can be found here: http://www.fire.ca.gov/fcat/. A week prior to the jointly-hosted workshop, Agencies will post a Discussion Paper containing initial ideas that will be considered and evaluated as part of California’s 2030 climate change vision and strategy for the Natural and Working Lands sector. The Discussion Paper will also include additional topics and questions for stakeholder review and comment both during and after the public workshop. The Discussion Paper will be posted here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm. Both meetings are open to the public and full participation by all parties is encouraged: DATE: Wednesday, March 23, 2016 TIME: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm PLACE: CalEPA Headquarters Building Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Background This Natural and Working Lands sector 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. The mid-term target is critical to help frame the suite of policy measures, regulations, planning efforts, and investments in clean technologies and infrastructure needed to continue driving down emissions. In an effort to further the vision of AB 32, Governor Brown identified key climate change strategy pillars in his January 2015 inaugural address. The pillars recognize that several major areas of the California economy will need to reduce emissions to meet the 2030 greenhouse gas emissions target. One of the key pillars identified by Governor Brown was to ensure that State agencies are managing farm and rangelands, forests and wetlands so they can store carbon. Environmental Analysis This workshop will serve as a scoping meeting as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to 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 Proposed 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update to determine if the proposed project will result in any potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. Staff will provide an overview of ARB’s process for preparing the environmental analysis (EA) and its content. Staff welcomes public input at the workshop on the appropriate scope and content of the EA at the beginning of our process, including the reasonably foreseeable methods of compliance with the Proposed 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update, the potential significant adverse impacts associated with the methods of compliance, potential feasible mitigation measures, and feasible alternatives to the proposal that could reduce or eliminate any significant adverse impacts. A Draft EA will be released for a 45-day public review and comment period with the proposed Draft 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update in early Fall of 2016. 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 Scoping Plan webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm. Materials will be posted by March 23, 2016, at 8:30 a.m. All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live webcast of both of the workshops will be available at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1.

Additional technical workshops are tentatively scheduled for April 5, 2016 (covering reversals, registries, and verification) and April 28, 2016 (covering linkage process and social and environmental safeguards). A listserv 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. ARB staff is developing staff proposals for 2016 amendments that 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 document sets forth the California Air Resources Board’s (ARB or Board) recommended approach to achieve full mitigation of the climate impacts of the Aliso Canyon natural gas leak. This leak at a Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) natural gas storage facility in Los Angeles County emitted almost 100,000 tons of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere from October 2015 to February 2016. ARB estimates that the leak added approximately 20 percent to statewide methane emissions over its duration. The draft mitigation report is available on the ARB website (http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/aliso_canyon/draft_aliso_canyon_mitigation_program_03142016.pdf). Comments can be submitted online (http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm2/bcsubform.php?listname=alisompdraft-ws&comm_period=1) and are due by March 24th, by 5:00 PM Pacific Time.

The meeting notice and agenda are posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/meetings/meetings.htm Background: The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, (AB 32) calls for the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) to convene a global warming environmental justice advisory committee, to advise the Board in developing the scoping plan, and any other pertinent matter in implementing AB 32. 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.

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. AQIP is a mobile source incentive program that focuses on reducing criteria pollutant and diesel particulate emissions with concurrent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The Governor’s proposed FY 2016-17 Budget would direct $500 million for ARB to continue Low Carbon Transportation investments, including $40 million for very low carbon fuel production incentives. The Governor’s proposed Budget also includes $28.6 million for AQIP projects. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.

This workshop will support the process to update the AB 32 Scoping Plan to reflect California’s goal to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, as directed in Executive Order B-30-15. This workshop builds upon the Natural and Working Lands public workshop held in Sacramento on March 23, 2016. A copy of the presentation and other workshop materials will be available on the Scoping Plan webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm Materials will be posted by April 26, 2016, at 5:00 p.m. This workshop is open to the public and full participation by all parties is encouraged: DATE: Wednesday, April 27, 2016 TIME: 10:00 am to 1:00 pm PLACE San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Central Region Office Governing Board Room 1990 E. Gettysburg Avenue Fresno, California 93726 Directions: http://www.valleyair.org/General_info/Directions_Fresno.htm. A live webcast of the workshop will be available at: http://www.valleyair.org/Workshops/public_workshops_idx.htm. Remote participants will be able to submit e-mail questions during the workshop at an address provided in the presentation. Background on the 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update This public workshop is part of the public process to update the AB 32 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. The mid-term target is critical to help frame the suite of policy measures, regulations, planning efforts, and investments in clean technologies and infrastructure needed to continue driving down emissions. In an effort to further the vision of AB 32, Governor Brown identified key climate change strategy pillars in his January 2015 inaugural address. The pillars recognize that several major areas of the California economy will need to reduce emissions to meet the 2030 greenhouse gas emissions target. One of the key pillars identified by Governor Brown was to ensure that State agencies are managing farm and rangelands, forests and wetlands so they can store carbon. ARB is collecting public comments on the workshop material at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm. The webpage to submit comments will be live beginning on April 27, 2016 at 8:30 am. Environmental Analysis This workshop will serve as a scoping meeting as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to 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 Proposed 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update to determine if the proposed project will result in any potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. Staff will provide an overview of ARB’s process for preparing the environmental analysis (EA) and its content. Staff welcomes public input at the workshop on the appropriate scope and content of the EA at the beginning of our process, including the reasonably foreseeable methods of compliance with the Proposed 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update, the potential significant adverse impacts associated with the methods of compliance, potential feasible mitigation measures, and feasible alternatives to the proposal that could reduce or eliminate any significant adverse impacts. A Draft EA will be released for a 45-day public review and comment period with the proposed Draft 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update in early Fall of 2016. Comments received at this public workshop will be considered when preparing the CEQA document. If you require a special accommodation or need this document in an alternate format (i.e. Braille, large print) or another language, please contact Rachel Pallatin at 916-324-3502 or Rachel.Pallatin@arb.ca.gov, as soon as possible, but no later than 10 business days before the scheduled event/meeting.

The potential revisions would also support California’s plan for compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA) Clean Power Plan. ARB staff had initially proposed a schedule for these amendments wherein staff reports and draft regulation orders would be released for a formal, 45-day public comment period at the end of May 2016 prior to the Board’s initial consideration of the amendments at the July 2016 Board hearing and a final Board hearing in Spring 2017. ARB staff is now proposing the following updated schedule for amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Program and MRR: July 2016 - Release of staff reports and draft regulation orders and beginning of formal public comment period September 2016 – Initial Board Hearing Spring 2017 – Final Board Hearing October 2017 – Adopted Regulations become effective Background Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Regulation 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 Cap-and-Trade Program and for compliance with the U.S. EPA’s Clean Power Plan. More information about ARB’s MRR is available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghg-rep.htm. Cap-and-Trade Regulation The Board first formally adopted the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in October 2011, and subsequently approved limited amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to improve Cap-and-Trade Program efficiency, update the Cap-and-Trade Regulation using the latest information, and chart post-2020 implementation of the Cap-and-Trade 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.

ARB released the Proposed Strategy and the Draft Environmental Analysis (EA) for the Proposed Strategy for public review on April 11, 2016. During the workshop, ARB staff will provide a summary of the Proposed Strategy. We welcome and encourage your participation in this effort. The additional workshop will be held on the following date and time: Date: May 3, 2016 Time: 1:30 p.m. Location: San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Southern Region Office 34946 Flyover Court Bakersfield, CA 93308 Directions: http://www.valleyair.org/General_info/Directions_Bakersfield.htm This additional workshop will be webcast for those unable to attend in person. The webcast can be accessed at: http://www.valleyair.org/Workshops/public_workshops_idx.htm. Questions or comments can be submitted during the workshop to webcast@valleyair.org. The public can also attend this workshop by video conference at the air district’s Modesto and Fresno offices: Modesto Office 4800 Enterprise Way Modesto, CA 95356 Fresno Office 1990 E. Gettysburg Avenue Fresno, California 93726 Updated Public Meeting Schedule • April 26: First Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (Sacramento) • (NEW) May 3: Second Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (Bakersfield) • May 19: Board Meeting for Proposed Strategy • Late-Summer/Early-Fall: Board to consider approving a final SLCP Strategy Background Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than major climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Their relative potency in terms of how they heat the atmosphere can be tens to thousands of times greater than CO2. SLCPs include black carbon, methane, and fluorinated gases, including hydrofluorocarbons. The impacts of SLCPs are especially strong within the near term. Reducing these emissions can have an immediate beneficial impact on climate change. SLCP reductions are important to continuing and maintaining the greenhouse gas reductions called for by AB 32 (Nunez, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006) and SB 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014), and to ensuring emissions meet the statewide greenhouse gas emission limit that AB 32 established. The Proposed Strategy is identified in the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan as one of the recommended actions to achieve additional greenhouse gas emission reductions. SB 605 further requires ARB, in coordination with other State agencies and local air districts, to develop a strategy to further reduce SLCP emissions in California. A Draft Strategy was released for public comment on September 30, 2015. After considering comments received, ARB staff released the Proposed Strategy on April 11, 2016, which will be presented to the Board at a public meeting on May 19, 2016. The Board will not vote on the Proposed Strategy at this meeting; a second Board meeting will be scheduled for either late summer or early fall for the Board to consider approving a final SLCP Strategy, along with final environmental documents. Environmental Analysis ARB, as the lead agency for the Proposed Strategy, prepared a Draft Environmental Analysis (EA) in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and ARB’s regulatory program certified by the Secretary of Natural Resources (California Code of Regulation, title 17, sections 60006-60008; California Code of Regulation, title 14, section 15251, subdivision (d)). The resource areas from the CEQA Guidelines Environmental Checklist were used as a framework for a programmatic environmental analysis of the reasonably foreseeable compliance responses resulting from implementation of the proposed measures discussed in the Proposed Strategy. The Draft EA provides an analysis of both the beneficial and adverse impacts and feasible mitigation measures for the reasonably foreseeable compliance responses associated with the proposed measures under each of the 17 environmental resource areas. Collectively, the Draft EA concluded implementation of these actions could result in the following short-term and long-term beneficial and adverse impacts: beneficial long-term impacts in reduced greenhouse gas emissions; less-than-significant impacts to air quality, biological resources, energy demand, geology and soils, greenhouse gases (short-term), hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, resources related to land use planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, and recreational services; and potentially significant and unavoidable adverse impacts to aesthetics, agriculture and forest resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, resources related to land use planning, noise, transportation/traffic, and utilities and service systems. The potentially significant and unavoidable adverse impacts are primarily related to short-term construction-related activities, which explains why some resource areas are identified above as having both less-than-significant impacts and potentially significant impacts. Please refer to the Draft EA for further details. Public Comments on the Proposed Strategy and Draft EA The Proposed Strategy and its appendices, including the Draft EA (Appendix C), can be obtained from ARB’s short-lived climate pollutant website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm. ARB invites comments on the Proposed Strategy and Draft EA during the 45-day public comment period that begins on April 11, 2016, and ends on May 26, 2016. Submittal of comments on both documents should be made to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php. The meeting agenda, staff presentation, and any other related materials will be distributed prior to the workshops.

The potential revisions would also support California’s plan for compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA) Clean Power Plan. ARB, California Energy Commission (CEC), and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) staff have continued to update Clean Power Plan reliability and modeling results. Staff have produced revised production cost modeling results to forecast electricity sector emissions under mid-range and stressful demand conditions through to 2031, and generated planning reserve margin estimates under these scenarios. This updated information includes an anticipated emissions level from the sector relative to federal targets. To ensure timely and simultaneous access to these updated modeling results, ARB will post this information to ARB’s Clean Power Plan website at noon on Thursday, April 28, 2016. http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/powerplants/powerplants.htm. Background Cap-and-Trade Regulation The Board first formally adopted the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in October 2011, and subsequently approved limited amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to improve Cap-and-Trade Program efficiency, update the Cap-and-Trade Regulation using the latest information, and chart post-2020 implementation of the Cap-and-Trade 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).

May 3, 2016 Contact: Karen Caesar (626) 575-6728 kcaesar@arb.ca.gov Stanley Young (916) 956-9409 syoung@arb.ca.gov SACRAMENTO – State agency leaders today released the Draft California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, an ambitious document that lays a foundation for modernizing California’s multi-billion dollar freight transportation system. Developed in response to Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for California, the Draft Action Plan was drafted by the California State Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency, Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board, California Department of Transportation, California Energy Commission and Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development with broad stakeholder input. The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared vision to “improve freight efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of California’s freight system.” Benefits include meeting the state’s freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and climate goals. The Draft Action Plan responds to the Governor’s Executive Order by articulating one shared vision to improve the efficiency of California’s freight system while reducing its pollution, all the while bolstering the competitiveness of California’s goods movement system nationally and internationally. Key components of the Action Plan include: • A long-term 2050 vision and guiding principles for California’s future freight transport system. • Targets for 2030 to guide the State toward meeting its long-term vision: o Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030. o Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and maximize near-zero by 2020. o Foster future economic growth within the freight and goods movement industry. • Identified opportunities to leverage State freight transport system investments. • Actions to initiate over the next five years to make progress towards the Draft Action Plan’s vision and target. • Pilot projects to achieve concrete progress in the near-term. • Additional concepts for further exploration and potential development. "Future investments of public dollars in freight require a smart approach that accounts for both environmental stewardship and the need for new infrastructure to accommodate a growing freight sector,” said CalSTA Secretary, Brian P. Kelly. “While some may see these as competing priorities, this Draft Action Plan suggests we don't have to choose between these important objectives, but can achieve both through more prudent planning and investment. I look forward to perfecting the document with input from our many stakeholders in the days ahead." Achieving the Draft Action Plan’s objectives will require strategic partnerships and well-coordinated investments in new technologies and major infrastructure upgrades. The plan provides an opportunity for leveraging new federal, State, local and private investment for these freight transport system improvements. California’s freight system is the most extensive and interconnected freight system in the United States and is composed of several deep water seaports, cargo airports, border crossings, and a vast warehousing and distribution sector, all connected by a network of over 11,000 miles of railroad track and Interstate and state highways. Each component is critical and the system depends on these interconnected facilities working in concert to move freight in and out of California to the rest of the nation and across the globe. California’s freight-dependent industries account for more than $740 billion in revenue and more than 5 million jobs in 2014. "This is an unprecedented effort to partner with the freight sector to help bolster the competitiveness of California's freight industry," said Governor Brown’s senior jobs adviser Mike Rossi. "The freight sector has already invested heavily in modernization and the Action Plan helps advance those efforts while reducing emissions through commercially viable and affordable technologies." While freight transport in California is a major economic engine for the state, emissions from ships, harbor craft, trucks, locomotives, cargo equipment, aircraft and other freight participants account for about half of toxic diesel particulate matter (PM 2.5), 45 percent of the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) that form ozone and fine particulate matter in the atmosphere, and 6 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in California. Many of these pollutants are emitted in close proximity to communities and pose health risks to nearby residents, highlighting the need for additional steps to protect public health. “The draft we are releasing today represents an unprecedented collaboration among government agencies, in keeping with the importance of the freight sector to our economy and our environment,” said CARB Chair Mary D. Nichols. “The plan commits to include all stakeholders at every step in the process, from refining goals and selecting pilot projects through implementation into the coming decade. Our challenge is to deliver both public health and economic benefits at our ports, on our highways, and in our communities throughout the state.” The Draft Action Plan builds on existing State agency strategies, including the California Freight Mobility Plan, Sustainable Freight Pathways to Zero and Near-Zero Emissions Discussion Document and the Integrated Energy Policy Report. Broad stakeholder input provided over the past several months, including 11 workshops across the state, inform this Draft Action Plan. The Draft Action Plan is available now for stakeholder and public feedback through July 6, 2016. Additionally, agency staff will present it as an informational item at public meetings of the California Freight Advisory Committee, the California Transportation Commission and California Air Resources Board in May. “The Energy Commission is pleased to work in partnership with our sister agencies and engaged stakeholders across the state to develop this draft action plan,” said Energy Commissioner Janea A. Scott. “Reducing pollution from our freight sector will help California to meet its clean air standards and climate goals.” The Governor’s Executive Order on Sustainable Freight can be found at: https://www.gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=19046 The Draft Action Plan is available for public review and comments at: www.casustainablefreight.org The State Agencies are requesting comments by July 6, 2016.

Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Place: Byron Sher Auditorium CalEPA Headquarters Building 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Webcast: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/Broadcast/ Purpose of Workshop: The May 18, 2016, workshop will continue the public process to develop potential 2016 amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation). This workshop will include discussion on re-evaluating and modifying a component of the methodology for leakage prevention and allowance allocation to the industrial sector. Modifications to allowance allocation would be implemented in the third compliance period starting with the allocation of vintage 2018 allowances that occurs in fall 2017. In 2011 and 2012, the Board directed staff to investigate potential improvements to Program metrics for determining emissions leakage risk in industrial sectors (see Board Resolutions 11-32 and 12-33). The Program commissioned three studies to inform this sector-by-sector assessment in 2012, and the studies were completed in May 2016. The first two studies led by the University of California, Berkeley, and Resources for the Future measured international and domestic leakage, respectively, for most industrial sectors that are directly regulated under the Program. The third study, led by researchers at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, measured leakage potential in select food processing industries. At the May 18 workshop, researchers will present their study results and answer stakeholder questions. Informed by these studies, staff will propose a revised emissions leakage risk evaluation methodology and will update assistance factors for industrial sectors. Copies of the research papers will be made available at noon (12 pm) Pacific time on Wednesday, May 11, 2016. Other workshop materials, including ARB staff’s presentation, will be made available on Tuesday, May 17, at 9 am. All materials will be posted 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. 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 Friday, June 10, 2016. A link to provide comment will be available after the workshop at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm 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.

DATE: June 23, 2016 TIME: 9:00 a.m. LOCATION: California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 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 20, 2016, 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 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 2016-17 State Budget includes $500 million for Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels investments administered by ARB from Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds. This funding would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a priority on benefiting disadvantaged communities. The Governor’s proposed State Budget also includes $28.6 million for the Air Quality Improvement Program which provides mobile source incentives to reduce criteria pollutant, toxic air contaminants, and GHG emissions. The proposed FY 2016-17 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. The investments proposed in this Funding Plan are contingent on approval of the proposed FY 2016-17 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 Funding Plan are pivotal to meeting these goals by accelerating the development and deployment of advanced mobile source technologies and cleaner transportation fuels.

Wednesday, July 13, 2016 1:30 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California As an independent state, California's economy would rank as the sixth largest in the world. It possesses key freight transportation gateways to Mexico and the Asia Pacific, and is home to the most productive agricultural region in the United States. The San Pedro Bay Ports in Southern California is the busiest port complex in the United States, while several international and domestic air freight hubs are also located within the state. Hence, understanding freight movement activity is an essential component to ensure that the strategic plans and policies for transportation infrastructure investment in the State of California can adequately support the expected growth in freight activity. Recent studies have revealed a significant void in detailed truck activity data necessary to understand the activity of trucks within the transportation infrastructure.

These amendments will be first considered at a Board hearing in September 2016 and voted on at a second Board hearing in Spring 2017. Staff's proposal will include amendments for the following main topics: -Establish new emissions caps beyond 2020 and continue all other provisions needed to implement the Program after 2020; -Establish new linkages; -Revise the requirements for unsold allowances and vintages available in the Current Auction; -Prevent emissions leakage in the most cost-effective manner through appropriate allowance allocation; -Continue the allocation of allowances to the utilities on behalf of rate-payers; -Provide for California compliance with the federal Clean Power Plan; and -Simplify participation in the Program by streamlining registration, auction participation, information management, and issuance of offset credits. To commence the formal rulemaking process pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, ARB will provide a draft of the formal regulatory package, including the Staff Report: Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR), and the Proposed Regulation Order, to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on July 12, 2016. This submittal initiates a review by OAL prior to opening the formal comment period. Based on OAL’s review, ARB may revise the draft documents and will post final versions of all documents related to the rulemaking (including the notice of proposed action, ISOR, Proposed Regulation Order, and other Appendices) to ARB’s Cap-and-Trade Rulemaking webpage on July 26, 2016. ARB will also make a rulemaking file for the proposed amendments available to the public on this date. The formal public comment period will begin when OAL publishes ARB’s notice of proposed action on July 29, 2016. This rulemaking proposal will include provisions that may impact the market for the Program’s compliance instruments. To ensure that all market participants and other interested stakeholders have access to the content of this regulatory proposal at the same time, ARB will also post the draft Proposed Regulation Order and draft ISOR (without Appendices) to the What's New box on the Cap-and-Trade webpage at 5:00 pm on July 12, 2016. See here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm Please note: The posting by ARB on July 12, 2016 is intended to provide simultaneous access to staff’s proposal as it is submitted to OAL. This posting will not initiate the formal public comment period. The official version that will be open for public comment and Board consideration will be the final version posted on July 26, 2016 following OAL review. The official version may include modifications from the initial draft posted by ARB on July 12, 2016. ARB will send out a listserv when the formal rulemaking documents are posted on July 26, 2016 and before the public comment period begins on July 29, 2016. Background Cap-and-Trade Regulation ARB first formally adopted the Cap-and-Trade 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. ARB staff has developed proposals for 2016 amendments that seek to improve Program efficiency and chart post-2020 implementation of the Program. ARB held a number of informal public workshops from October 2015 through June 2016 on some of the proposals that will be included in this formal rulemaking.

Stephen Ritchie, Ph.D. and Andre Tok, Ph.D. Institute of Transportation Studies University of California, Irvine Wednesday, July 13, 2016 1:30 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California As an independent state, California's economy would rank as the sixth largest in the world. It possesses key freight transportation gateways to Mexico and the Asia Pacific, and is home to the most productive agricultural region in the United States. The San Pedro Bay Ports in Southern California is the busiest port complex in the United States, while several international and domestic air freight hubs are also located within the state. Hence, understanding freight movement activity is an essential component to ensure that the strategic plans and policies for transportation infrastructure investment in the State of California can adequately support the expected growth in freight activity. Recent studies have revealed a significant void in detailed truck activity data necessary to understand the activity of trucks within the transportation infrastructure.

Thursday, August 25, 2016 1:30 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires knowledge of the sources and activities which emit GHGs. California's Central Valley has a number of agricultural and natural sources of GHGs in addition to urban, anthropogenic sources. This work investigates the seasonal variability of CH4 and N2O source apportionment from year-long measurements of GHGs, CO, and a suite of VOCs in Walnut Grove, about 23 miles south of downtown Sacramento, from summer 2012 through early fall 2013. We apply the statistical technique of positive matrix factorization (PMF) on the combined GHG - VOC data set over seven separate periods that are representative of broad seasonal patterns observed in the region. We also compare our results to inverse modeling estimates at WGC for the same time-period.

Brown Jr., state agency leaders today released the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, a comprehensive document that serves as a blueprint for transforming the state’s multi-billion dollar freight transport system into one that is environmentally cleaner, more efficient, and more economically competitive than it is today. The revised document is similar to the draft version issued in May 2016, but reflects new input provided by industry, labor, regional and local government, and community and environmental group stakeholders, who submitted more than 85 comments on the draft plan. “We listened to stakeholders, incorporated changes, and we will continue to consult with them as we put the Plan into action” said California Air Resources Board Chair Mary D. Nichols. “This dialogue -- and a commitment to shared responsibility for and ownership of this plan-- is the underpinning for the successful transformation of our freight transport system and the multiple benefits it will bring to our environment, communities and our economy.” Developed in response to Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for California, the Action Plan was prepared by the California State Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency, California Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board, California Department of Transportation, California Energy Commission and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, with broad stakeholder input. "The Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects the hard work done by the partners to address the needs of the freight industry,” said Governor Brown’s senior jobs adviser Mike Rossi. “GO-Biz will continue working with our stakeholders in the business community to see that the Action Plan builds upon ongoing efforts to modernize the freight industry while reducing emissions and keeping it competitive through commercially viable and affordable technologies." The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared vision to “improve freight efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of California’s freight system.” Benefits include meeting the state’s freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and climate goals. The Action Plan includes a long term-2050 vision and guiding principles for California’s future freight transport system along with these targets for 2030: •Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030. •Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and maximize near-zero by 2020. •Foster future economic growth within the freight and goods movement industry. The plan also identifies opportunities to leverage State freight transport system investments, pinpoints actions to initiate over the next five years to meet goals, and lists possible pilot projects to achieve concrete progress in the near term. "This Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects an investment strategy that’s right for California: expand economic development, create jobs and protect our environment. The plan doesn't choose between these objectives, but proposes strategies to achieve them all. I look forward to turning this plan into action,” said California State Transportation Agency Secretary Brian P. Kelly. Among the new additions to the final plan are placing more focus on key partnerships and a discussion of toxic hot spots. Changes have also been made throughout the document to clarify and emphasize the collaboration between the responsible agencies and other regional planning efforts, including funding. “The Energy Commission appreciates the collaboration amongst our sister agencies and engaged stakeholders across the state to develop an action plan to address Governor Brown's call to action on sustainable freight,” said Energy Commissioner Janea A. Scott. “We look forward to working with our partners to refine and prioritize the strategies and actions identified in the Action Plan and to carrying out actions that will help California to meet its clean air standards and climate goals.” Next steps for state agencies will include continued work with federal, state, industry, labor, regional, local and environmental and community-based partners to refine and prioritize the strategies and actions outlined in the Action Plan. The state agencies will also create collaborative stakeholder working groups on competitiveness, system efficiency, workforce developments, and regulatory and permitting process improvements. Regular California Freight Advisory Committee meetings will continue, and by July 2017, the state agencies will establish work plans for chosen pilot projects. Currently, California is the nation’s largest gateway for international trade and domestic commerce, with an interconnected system of ports, railroads, highways and roads that allow freight from around the world to move throughout the state and nation. This system is responsible for one-third of the state’s economic product and jobs, with freight dependent industries accounting for over $740 billion in gross domestic product and over five million jobs in 2014.

The meeting notice and agenda are posted at: www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/meetings/meetings.htm Background: The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, (AB 32) calls for the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) to convene a global warming environmental justice advisory committee, to advise the Board in developing the Scoping Plan, and any other pertinent matter in implementing AB 32. 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 Committee 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 Committee will advise the Board on the development of the 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update, per Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-30-15. Committee meetings are open to the public and include a public comment period.

This public workshop will provide an overview and update on the process to update the 2030 Target Scoping Plan, and will include CEC, CPUC, and ARB staff presentations on current and forthcoming initiatives that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the electricity, energy efficiency, and natural gas sectors. Staff will also provide preliminary thinking on energy policy interaction across sectors, including cross-sector trade-offs and synergies. This workshop will support the process to update the AB 32 Scoping Plan to reflect California’s goal to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, as directed in Executive Order B-30-15. The meeting is open to the public and full participation by all parties is encouraged: DATE: Tuesday, August 23, 2016 TIME: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm PLACE: California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Main Auditorium 505 Van Ness Ave San Francisco, California 94102 Background This Energy sector 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. The mid-term target is critical to help frame the suite of policy measures, regulations, planning efforts, and investments in clean technologies and infrastructure needed to continue driving down emissions. In an effort to further the vision of AB 32, Governor Brown identified key climate change strategy pillars in his January 2015 inaugural address. The pillars recognize that several major areas of the California economy will need to reduce emissions to meet the 2030 greenhouse gas emissions target. Two of the key pillars identified by Governor Brown were increase from one-third to 50 percent our electricity derived from renewable sources and to double energy efficiency savings from existing buildings by 2030. A copy of the presentation and other workshop materials will be available on the Scoping Plan webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm Materials and webcast information will be posted by August 19, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. In addition, ARB will be collecting public comments on the workshop material at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm. The webpage to submit comments will be live beginning on August 23, 2016 at 10:00 am.

The webinar may end prior to the scheduled end time if there are no webinar participants or all participant questions have been answered. BACKGROUND The Board first formally adopted the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in October 2011, and subsequently approved limited amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. Offsets are a key element of the flexibility afforded by a Cap-and-Trade Program to help ensure that the needed GHG emissions reductions are cost-effective. Offsets offer low- cost emissions-reduction opportunities for covered entities to meet up to 8% of their compliance obligation. Offsets are tradable credits that represent verified GHG emissions reductions made in areas or sectors not covered by the Cap-and-Trade Program. One offset credit is equal to one metric ton carbon dioxide equivalent of GHG emission reductions. In addition to providing compliance flexibility, the inclusion of offsets in the program will support the development of innovative projects and technologies from sources outside capped sectors that can play a key role in reducing emissions both inside and outside California. Offsets must meet rigorous criteria that demonstrate that the emissions reductions are real, permanent, verifiable, enforceable, and quantifiable. To be credited as an offset, the action or project must also be in addition to what is required by law or regulation or would otherwise have occurred under a conservative business-as-usual scenario.

Participants may attend via conference call or at any of the locations provided in the notice, including in the Klamath Training Room, 2nd floor of the CalEPA Headquarters Building, located at 1001 “I” Street in Sacramento. The meeting notice and agenda are posted at: www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/meetings/meetings.htm Background: The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, (AB 32) calls for the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) to convene a global warming environmental justice advisory committee, to advise the Board in developing the Scoping Plan, and any other pertinent matter in implementing AB 32. 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 Committee 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 Committee will advise the Board on the development of the 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update, per Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-30-15. Committee meetings are open to the public and include a public comment period.

California's Central Valley has a number of agricultural and natural sources of GHGs in addition to urban, anthropogenic sources. This work investigates the seasonal variability of CH₄ and N₂O source apportionment from year-long measurements of GHGs, CO, and a suite of VOCs in Walnut Grove, about 23 miles south of downtown Sacramento, from summer 2012 through early fall 2013. We apply the statistical technique of positive matrix factorization (PMF) on the combined GHG - VOC data set over seven separate periods that are representative of broad seasonal patterns observed in the region. We also compare our results to inverse modeling estimates at WGC for the same time-period.

This public workshop will provide an overview on the process to update the 2030 Target Scoping Plan, and will include CEC and ARB staff presentations on efforts that contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in the vehicle and fuel technology sectors. ARB staff will also present and introduce the newly developed Biofuel Supply Module. The Biofuel Supply Module is being developed to aid in assessing potential low carbon fuel availability in California as part of the Scoping Plan modeling effort. The Biofuel Supply Module will be posted on Wednesday, September 7. In addition, OPR, CalSTA, SGC, and ARB staff will present on current initiatives that contribute to reductions in vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and GHG emissions, and a land-use vision and potential additional transportation and development strategies to achieve greater VMT and GHG emissions reductions in the future. In advance of the workshop, Agencies will post a White Paper containing initial land use protection, management, and development ideas that will be considered and evaluated as part of California’s 2030 climate change vision and strategy for the Transportation sector. The Biofuel Supply Module and Land-Use White Paper will be posted by September 7th, and the Land-Use White Paper will be posted in advance of the workshop here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm The meeting is open to the public and full participation by all parties is encouraged: DATE: Wednesday, September 14, 2016 TIME: 9:00 am to 4:30 pm PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Background This Transportation sector workshop is part of the public process to update the Scoping Plan to reflect the Governor’s Executive Order B-30-15, which established 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. The mid-term target is critical to help frame the suite of policy measures, regulations, planning efforts, and investments in clean technologies and infrastructure needed to continue driving down emissions. This workshop will support the process to update the AB 32 Scoping Plan to reflect California’s goal to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, as directed in Executive Order B-30-15. In an effort to further the vision of AB 32, Governor Brown identified key climate change strategy pillars in his January 2015 inaugural address. The pillars recognize that several major areas of the California economy will need to reduce emissions to meet the 2030 greenhouse gas emissions target. One of the key pillars identified by Governor Brown is to cutting petroleum use in half by 2030. A copy of the presentation and other workshop materials will be available on the Scoping Plan webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm Materials will be posted by September 12, 2016, at 1:00 pm.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016 2:00 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California California has committed to an ambitious plan to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 through Assembly Bill 32 (AB-32), which requires accurate accounting of emissions for effective mitigation planning and verification of future emission reductions. Atmospheric GHG measurements from networks of towers can be combined with existing knowledge of emissions in a statistical inverse model -- weighing existing knowledge with the new observations -- to more accurately quantify GHG emissions. This study quantifies major anthropogenic GHGs including fossil fuel CO2 (ffCO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions within California with a Bayesian inverse modeling framework, using atmospheric observations from an expanded GHG measurement network across California over multiple years.

DATE: October 20, 2016 TIME: 9:00 a.m. LOCATION: San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District 1990 East Gettysburg Avenue Fresno, California 93726 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 p.m., October 17, 2016, 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 The meeting notice and addition information about the Funding Plan may be obtained from ARB’s website at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/fundplan/fundplan.htm. 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: At the June 23, 2016 Board meeting, the Board approved the proposed FY 2016 17 Funding Plan which describes how ARB would spend $500 million in proposed Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and $28.6 million for Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). At the time of the Board’s action, the Legislature had appropriated AQIP funds to ARB as part of the Budget Act of 2016 but had deferred action on the $500 million in Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels funding. Hence, the Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels elements of the Board-approved Funding Plan were contingent on appropriation of these funds. The Funding Plan included contingency provisions to address this budget uncertainty including direction that staff return with modifications to the plan in the event that the Legislature appropriated less than $400 million to ARB. On August 31, 2016, the Legislature appropriated $363 million to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects and provided direction on how these funds are used. The Legislature also approved an associated budget trailer bill which directs ARB to make a changes to the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. Staff is proposing modifications to the FY 2016-17 Funding Plan to address the smaller budget appropriation and additional direction from the Legislature. These changes are fully described in the meeting notice. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.

TTY/TDD/Speech to Speech users may dial 711 for the California Relay Service. Background: At the June 23, 2016 Board meeting, the Board approved the proposed FY 2016-17 Funding Plan which describes how ARB would spend $500 million in proposed Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and $28.6 million for Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). At the time of the Board’s action, the Legislature had appropriated AQIP funds to ARB as part of the Budget Act of 2016 but had deferred action on the $500 million in Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels funding. On August 31, 2016, the Legislature appropriated $363 million to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects and provided direction on how these funds are used. The Legislature also approved an associated budget trailer bill which directs ARB to make changes to the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. At the October 20, 2016 Board meeting, the Board approved modifications to the FY 2016-17 Funding Plan to address the smaller budget appropriation and additional direction from the Legislature. Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide funding for ARB’s advanced technology, clean transportation incentive programs, expanding the types of projects ARB has funded through AQIP. These investments accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation, supporting the Governor’s climate change strategy pillar of a 50 percent reduction in petroleum use in vehicles by 2030 and the Administration’s goal to deploy 1.5 million zero emission vehicles in California by 2025. AQIP is a voluntary, mobile source incentive program that focuses on reducing criteria pollutant and diesel particulate emissions with concurrent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. AQIP has an annual budget of about $25 million. 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. In recent years, the majority of AQIP funds have gone towards the Truck Loan Assistance Program which helps small business truckers to secure financing for newer trucks or diesel exhaust retrofits in advance of compliance deadlines for ARB’s in-use truck and bus regulation.

Friday, December 2, 2016 10:00 a.m., PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California California will need high volumes of alternative low carbon fuels to be able to meet its climate change goals. In order to support these goals, this study investigated the technological and commercial feasibility of producing large quantities of renewable natural gas fuels for use in California. The study’s results indicate that there are substantial sources of RNG in California that are commercially competitive with existing fossil fuel-based transportation fuels because carbon externalities are taken into consideration in the California market through existing programs such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the U.S. Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).

The solicitation includes the option for new Grant Agreements for each of the following two fiscal years: • FY 2017-18 • FY 2018-19 The current funding available for FY 2016-17 is $13 million for HVIP and $23 million for Low NOx Engine Incentives for a total of $36 million. HVIP is intended to encourage and accelerate the deployment of new hybrid and zero-emission trucks and buses in California. HVIP provides vouchers for California purchasers and lessees of up to $95,000 for zero-emission trucks and buses, and up to $30,000 for eligible hybrid trucks, and buses on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, HVIP provides increased incentives for fleets located in or serving disadvantaged communities. These fleets qualify for vouchers up to $110,000 for zero-emission trucks and buses. ARB’s optional low NOx standards allow manufacturers the ability to certify heavy-duty vehicle engines to NOx emission levels that are up to 90 percent lower than today’s mandatory diesel emission standards. Incentivizing deployment of these engines coupled with renewable fuels is an important strategy for achieving greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emission reductions in the heavy-duty sector. Implemented through HVIP, the low NOx engine incentive project is intended to fund the incremental cost of a heavy-duty vehicle engine above the purchase and installation costs of a conventional heavy-duty vehicle engine with the same fuel type and other characteristics. A maximum of $25,000 per engine incentive is available for the certified 8.9 liter natural gas engine that utilizes 100 percent renewable fuel, enforceable by a three year renewable fuel contract. Meeting Information: This solicitation is open to federal, state or local government entities or agencies, and non-profit entities or companies with California heavy-duty vehicle, vehicle incentive project, or air quality expertise. Applications are due to ARB no later than close of business on Thursday, December 29, 2016.

Amy Myers Jaffe, M.S. University of California, Davis and Nathan Parker, Ph.D. Arizona State University Friday, December 2, 2016 10:00 a.m., PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California California will need high volumes of alternative low carbon fuels to be able to meet its climate change goals. In order to support these goals, this study investigated the technological and commercial feasibility of producing large quantities of renewable natural gas fuels for use in California. The study’s results indicate that there are substantial sources of RNG in California that are commercially competitive with existing fossil fuel-based transportation fuels because carbon externalities are taken into consideration in the California market through existing programs such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the U.S. Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).

Monday, December 19, 2016 1:30 p.m., PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Biofuels that can serve as a one-to-one replacement for gasoline or diesel, or achieve higher-level blends without modifications to existing fueling infrastructure and engines, are known as "drop-in fuels," and offer an opportunity to accelerate the deployment of low-carbon liquid fuels. In order to achieve California's climate and air quality goals, California will need high volumes of alternative fuels, such as drop-in fuels, that have low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In order to support these goals, the objective of this project was to review the research related to drop-in fuel production, evaluate potential pathways from well-to-pump (excluding tailpipe combustion emissions) based on their expected costs and environmental performance, and model potential pathways to scaling up drop-in fuel production in the state.

ARB will release a Summary of Transfers Registered in CITSS by California and Québec Entities in 2015. The release contains a data table providing 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 report 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 Summary of Transfers table is a joint release between California and Québec. 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 are conducted at a price that is entered into the transfer request in the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS). These include bilateral transactions and transactions cleared on spot or futures market exchanges. There are also 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 or services. 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 this email or the information contained in the table, please contact Ray Olsson of the Market Monitoring Section, at (916) 322-7615 or rolsson@arb.ca.gov.

The meeting notice and agenda are posted at: www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/meetings/meetings.htm Background: The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, (AB 32) calls for the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) to convene a global warming environmental justice advisory committee, to advise the Board in developing the Scoping Plan, and any other pertinent matter in implementing AB 32. 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 Committee 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 Committee will advise the Board on the development of the 2030 Target Scoping Plan Update, per Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-30-15. Committee meetings are open to the public and include a public comment period.

Arpad Horvath, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley and Corinne Scown, Ph.D. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Monday, December 19, 2016 1:30 p.m., PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Biofuels that can serve as a one-to-one replacement for gasoline or diesel, or achieve higher-level blends without modifications to existing fueling infrastructure and engines, are known as "drop-in fuels," and offer an opportunity to accelerate the deployment of low-carbon liquid fuels. In order to achieve California's climate and air quality goals, California will need high volumes of alternative fuels, such as drop-in fuels, that have low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In order to support these goals, the objective of this project was to review the research related to drop-in fuel production, evaluate potential pathways from well-to-pump (excluding tailpipe combustion emissions) based on their expected costs and environmental performance, and model potential pathways to scaling up drop-in fuel production in the state.

The Cap-and-Trade Program Compliance Status report provides a detailed summary of covered entity compliance status for the November 1, 2016 annual surrender obligation pursuant to the California Cap-and-Trade Program. The Compliance Status report will be posted at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm. BACKGROUND ON COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT: 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 Cap-and-Trade Compliance 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 annual surrender obligation. On November 1, 2016, covered entities were required to surrender compliance instruments to cover 30% of their 2015 emissions. ARB previously published report for 2013 and 2014 compliance at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/2013compliancereport.xlsx and http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/2013-2014compliancereport.xlsx California is in a drought emergency.

The data are to be displayed graphically and updated at least once a year. As a first step, ARB has posted the criteria and greenhouse gas emissions from large stationary sources that are subject to the Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (MRR). Toxics data for MRR facilities will follow by January 1, 2018, as required by AB 197. The data covers the years 2008-2014. These data are already publically available on ARB’s web site, but will now be available via the Integrated Emissions Visualization Tool (IEVT), https://www.arb.ca.gov/ei/ei.htm The IEVT provides a simple to use interactive platform where users can select facilities by name, location, or industrial sector and view their reported emissions using maps, charts, and tabular format. The IEVT is an expanded version of the tool already available to display greenhouse gas emissions. This is an initial version of the IEVT, and ARB is looking for feedback from the public and others users.
