Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:18:49 -0800 Subject: arbcombo -- Public Workshops on the Development of an Investment Plan for Auction Proceeds from California Cap-and-Trade Program From: rding@arb.ca.gov The State of California invites you to participate in a public workshop to provide input on the development of an investment plan for the auction proceeds from the Cap-and-Trade program to reduce greenhouse gases. The workshop will be held in three locations as indicated below; each workshop will cover the same topics. FRESNO Workshop: February 19, 2013 SACRAMENTO Workshop: February 25, 2013 (also webcast) LOS ANGELES Workshop: February 27, 2013 Further information on the investment of the State portion of the auction proceeds, including the detailed notice for these workshops is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/auctionproceeds.htm La versión en español del aviso del taller esta disponible aquí http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/workshops/notice_1_31_spanish.pdf If you would like to receive notices of future meetings and the availability of materials, please sign up for our list serve at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/listserv/listserv_ind.php?listname=auctionproceeds ACCOMODATION: If you require a special accommodation or need this document in an alternate format (i.e. Braille, large print) or another language, please contact Ms. Heather Jackson at (916) 322-8267 or hbjackso@arb.ca.gov as soon as possible, but no later than 10 business days before the scheduled meeting. TTY/TDD/Speech to Speech users may dial 711 for the California Relay Service. BACKGROUND: Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires California to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020. As part of this effort, the Air Resources Board (ARB) has developed a Cap-and-Trade program that limits statewide emissions from sources responsible for 85 percent of greenhouse gases and creates a financial incentive for clean and efficient technologies. Under the program, a portion of the allowances required for compliance are auctioned. The State portion of the proceeds from these auctions will be used to fund projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with State law. In September 2012, the Legislature passed and Governor Brown signed into law two bills – AB 1532 (Pérez, Chapter 807) and Senate Bill (SB) 535 (De León, Chapter 830) – that together establish a framework for developing an investment plan for projects and programs to be funded with Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds. SB 535 further requires that 25 percent of the proceeds that will be expended benefit disadvantaged communities and at least 10 percent of the proceeds expended be invested in projects located within those communities. The Department of Finance (Finance), in consultation with the ARB and other state entities, will develop and submit to the Legislature a three-year investment plan for the auction proceeds. The investment plan will identify the State’s greenhouse gas reduction goals and priority programs for investment of proceeds to support achievement of those goals. Funding will be appropriated to State agencies by the Legislature and Governor through the annual Budget Act, consistent with the plan.

At this workshop, staff will be soliciting input on the following proposals: •Adopting a new regulation to harmonize with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) adopted in 2011; •Making amendments to ARB’s existing Heavy-Duty Vehicle GHG Emission Reduction Regulation (Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation) to align with the proposed new regulation above; •Adopting a new set of optional oxides of nitrogen (NOx) standards for heavy-duty vehicle engines more stringent than the current 2010 model year standard; and •Making amendments to the Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) to Limit Diesel-fueled Commercial Motor Vehicle Idling to expand compliance responsibility. The workshop is described further in the workshop notice at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1305/msc1305.pdf and will be held at the following time and location: Date: Monday, March 11, 2013 Time: 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Location: Air Resources Board Coastal Hearing Room 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Directions are at http://www.arb.ca.gov/maps/sactomap.htm Background: In September 2011, the U.S. EPA adopted a new regulation for controlling GHG emissions from new medium and heavy-duty engines and vehicles. ARB staff is proposing to align with the federal regulation in order to provide California with the ability to certify engines and vehicles to the new standards as well as enforce them. On December 11, 2008, the Board approved the Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation codified in sections 95300-95312 of title 17, California Code of Regulations, and later amended it on December 17, 2010. This regulation reduces GHG emissions from long-haul tractor-trailer combinations by requiring them to utilize U.S. EPA SmartWay verified or designated technologies that will improve fuel efficiency. To harmonize the tractor requirements of the federal and California regulations, ARB staff is considering modifications to its Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation. ARB staff will be proposing optional NOx emission standards for California certified 2015 and later model year engines. If the optional standards are adopted, ARB’s existing incentive programs such as the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment program could be modified to give preference to engines certified to the optional standards. On July 22, 2004, ARB adopted an ATCM to Limit Diesel-fueled Commercial Motor Vehicle Idling. This regulation is codified in section 2485 of title 13, California Code of Regulations, and was later amended on October 20, 2005 and December 11, 2008. ARB staff is proposing to extend responsibility for complying with the requirements of the idling ATCM to the owner of the vehicle. In addition, staff’s proposal would require California-based shippers and California-based brokers to share responsibility for compliance with the idling restrictions in the event that they utilized the services of motor carriers that violated the regulation and/or they did not settle their outstanding fines. For specific questions regarding the new heavy duty engine and vehicle GHG regulation and the optional engine NOx standard, you may contact Ms. Kim Heroy-Rogalski, Manager of the Off-Road Implementation Section, by email at kheroyro@arb.ca.gov or by phone at (916) 327 2200. For questions regarding the in-use tractor-trailer GHG regulation amendments and the anti-idling ATCM amendments, you may contact Mr. Stephan Lemieux, Manager of the On-Road Heavy Duty Diesel Section, by email at slemieux@arb.ca.gov or by phone at (626) 450-6162.

Six local air districts are offering financial incentives to owners of trucks used in goods movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies through truck replacement or engine repower projects. These funds are available for eligible trucks operating primarily in the four high priority trade corridors in the Bay Area, Central Valley, Los Angeles/Inland Empire, and San Diego/Border corridors. Incentives for truck electrification infrastructure projects will also be offered. The local agencies will be accepting applications beginning August 26, 2013, for a limited time. Please see the Program website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/gmbond for more information and how to apply for funds. In addition, owners of fleets of 40 or fewer trucks may be eligible for loan assistance, without the Prop. 1B grant limitations regarding goods movement and operation in the trade corridors. Please see the following for more information and how to apply: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ba/loan/on-road/on-road.htm or http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/cpcfa/calcap/arb/index.asp. Background: The Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is a partnership between the State Air Resources Board (ARB) and local agencies (like air districts and ports) to quickly reduce air pollution emissions and health risk from freight movement along California’s trade corridors. ARB provides funding to eligible agencies; those agencies then offer financial incentives to owners of equipment used in freight movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies prior to regulatory requirements. If you have any questions, please call our Goods Movement Information Line at: (916) 44-GOODS (444-6637) or contact us via email at gmbond@arb.ca.gov.
