Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 13:52:55 -0800 Subject: arbcombo -- Updated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) From: cpham@arb.ca.gov Staff of the California Air Resource Board have posted an updated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document related to the re-adopted LCFS regulation. The FAQs attempt to answer questions and comments related to re-certifications of fuel pathway carbon intensity values, applications for new pathways, Low Carbon Fuel Standard Reporting Tool and Credit Bank & Transfer System (LRT-CBTS), etc. In addition, staff has posted updated guidance documents for re-certification of legacy pathways and new pathway applications (originally posted on November 05, 2015). 1. Guidance Document for LCFS Re-certification Pathway Applications 2. Guidance Document for LCFS New Pathway Applications These documents and links can be assessed at the LCFS Fuel Pathways website http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/fuelpathways.htm NOTE: Existing Method 1 (Lookup Table) pathways under CA-GREET 1.8b are NOT eligible for re-certification. Applicants must submit new pathway applications using CA-GREET 2.0 with all required documentation. Most existing Method 2A/2B pathways under CA-GREET 1.8b will likely be re-certified as Tier 1 under the re-adopted regulation. Please consult the guidance documents above prior to selecting an appropriate tier classification when submitting a re-certification application. The Low Carbon Fuel Standard, a regulation to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels sold in California ten percent by 2020, is one of the measures adopted by the California Air Resources Board, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 38500-38599 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases in California. It is designed to help clean the air, protect the environment, and drive the development of clean, low-carbon fuels to improve California's energy security and energy independence.

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

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.

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.

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.

These submissions included both new applications and requests to have “legacy” pathways, adopted under the prior LCFS rule, recertified. Some applications were either rejected without prejudice by ARB or withdrawn by the applicants. For ARB rejections, applicants may submit new applications to address deficiencies in the original application, if desired. The table below provides a detailed breakdown of the status of ethanol applications received through January 31, 2016. Certification Status of Ethanol Pathways Status Re-cert New Total Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 1 Tier 2 Completed 64 9 40 0 113 Rejected/Withdrawn 13 7 75 13 108 Total (Re-cert + New) 77 16 115 13 221 Today, (04/22/16) ARB is sending the newly modeled ethanol CI scores (for both new applications and recertified pathways) to individual applicants for final review prior to being certified. Requirement for applicants requesting recertification Applicants who submitted recertification requests and whose applications have been deemed eligible will be receiving notification via the Alternative Fuels Portal (AFP) which will include a summary sheet. Applicants have seven business days to review their proposed CI score and then to either accept or reject the proposed CI. Applicants who choose to accept the proposed CI must upload the company’s signed attestation letter to the AFP system and mail a wet ink original to the Manager of the Fuels Evaluation Section to ensure pathway certification (for more detail see the Guidance Documents for Pathway Re-Certification and New Applications available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/fuelpathways.htm). An applicant who chooses to reject the proposed CI may submit a new application for consideration. The AFP system is time sensitive and will lock responses at the end of the seventh business day (by 11:59 P.M. PST on 05/03/16). Inaction on part of an applicant during the review period is equivalent to rejecting the proposed CI. Requirement for applicants who submitted a new application As with recertification of legacy pathways, summaries for new applications which have been processed will be made available to applicants through the AFP. Applicants must communicate their decision through the AFP on the proposed pathway CI during the same seven day period being offered to recertification applications. Inaction on part of the applicant may result in delays in the CI being certified. Applicants who choose to accept the proposed CI must upload the company’s signed attestation letter to the AFP system and mail a wet ink original to the Manager of the Fuels Evaluation Section to ensure pathway certification. Applicants who submitted the attestation letter as part of the application are not required to resubmit the attestation letter. Next Steps Staff will review responses from applicants after the closing period (05/03/2016) and move to certify all CIs except those rejected by the applicant. These certified pathways will be effective 1st quarter of 2016 for reporting purposes and will be made available on the LCFS website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/fuelpathways.htm. Background on the LCFS The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is a regulation to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels sold in California ten percent by 2020. The LCFS is one of the measures adopted by the California Air Resources Board, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 38500-38599 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases in California. It is designed to help clean the air, protect the environment, and drive the development of clean, low-carbon fuels to improve California's energy security and energy independence.

This workshop will follow the afternoon workshop already scheduled in Bakersfield for the same day. This meeting has been scheduled for those unable to attend the daytime meeting and will cover the same material. 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: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 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) • May 3: Second Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (1:30 p.m. in Bakersfield) • (NEW) May 3: Third Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (6:00 p.m. in 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.

Air Resources Board staff have analyzed the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) compliance data for compliance year 2015 and are announcing a 98 percent compliance rate by the covered entities for this period. A total of 174 parties actively reported under the LCFS program during 2015. Out of those, 52 regulated parties reported deficits. These high carbon fuel parties generated 2,410,598 deficits during this period. Low carbon fuels generated a total of 6,261,390 credits in the program over the same timeframe. Only one regulated party failed to retire sufficient credits to cover their 2015 obligations. Summary of 2015 LCFS Compliance Reporting Total parties actively reporting in 2015 under LCFS program 174 Total parties generating deficits 52 Total number of parties that met their 2015 compliance obligation 51 As reported in the Q4 2015 Quarterly Data Summary, cumulatively through 2015, the LCFS program has generated 16.55 MT million credits and 9.14 MT million deficits, for a net total over-compliance of about 7.41 million MT credits banked in the program. Credit Clearance Markets The one party that did not retire sufficient credits is Astra Oil Company, LLC, which reported a small net short position of 337 deficits for 2015. Name of the Regulated Party Number of CCM Deficits Astra Oil Company, LLC 337 The LCFS includes a provision for holding a Credit Clearance Market (CCM) that provides additional compliance flexibility to regulated parties who have not met their previous year-end obligation. On April 4, 2016 the Executive Officer (EO) issued a call for credits to be pledged for sale in the CCM. The following parties pledged a total of 15,242 credits for sale in CCM 2016: Name of the Regulated Party Number of CCM Credits BP Products North America, Inc. 10,000 GFP Ethanol, LLC dba Calgren Renewable Fuels 5,000 Titan El Toro, LLC 242 The EO has determined that the CCM will occur in 2016 to allow Astra Oil the additional opportunity to meet its obligation. The CCM will be operational from June 1 to July 31, 2016. During this period, this regulated party must acquire credits pledged into the CCM from the parties listed above. The maximum price set for credits to be sold in the 2016 CCM is $200 per credit. Regulated parties that have pledged credits to sell into the CCM cannot reject an offer to purchase pledged credits at the maximum price, but may accept an offer to purchase at a lower price if they prefer to do so.

Program Background The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is one of the measures adopted by ARB, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 38500-38599 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases in California. The Program’s goal is to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels sold in California ten percent by 2020. It is designed to help clean the air, protect the environment, and drive the development of clean, low-carbon fuels to improve California's energy security and energy independence. The program is flexible and allows entities to reduce the carbon intensity of the fuel they sell, blend cleaner fuels purchased from other parties, or purchase tradeable credits for compliance. The Credit Clearance Market portion of the LCFS increases market certainty regarding maximum compliance costs, strengthens incentives to invest in and produce low-CI fuels, and reduces the probability of credit shortfalls and price spikes.

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.

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.

These projects provide funding to support cleaner vehicles and equipment that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and criteria pollutants, with an emphasis on providing benefits to disadvantaged communities. Funding for Low Carbon Transportation comes from California Climate Investments, made possible by proceeds from California’s Cap and Trade Program. Funding for the Air Quality Improvement Program is authorized by Assembly Bill 8 (Perea, Chapter 401, Statutes of 2013). Work group meetings are scheduled throughout the year as needed to seek public input on implementation of ongoing projects, as well as development of competitive solicitations for upcoming grant funding opportunities. Individual work groups will be established or updated for each project listed below. Staff encourages anyone who is interested in one or more of these projects to join our work group email lists.

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.

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.

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.

These pathways are for new applications. In addition, a Tier 2 pathway is also being posted for public comments. All pathways certified in this release may be used for credit reporting purposes beginning with reports for the fourth quarter of 2016. All certified CIs are available in one centralized location at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/pathwaytable.htm. Public comments on the posted Tier 2 pathway may be made at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/comments/tier2/tier2_comments.htm The list of certified CIs at the link above includes all CIs certified using CA-GREET 2.0 and all active pathway CIs certified under CA-GREET 1.8b. Note that the CA-GREET 1.8b pathways CIs are eligible to earn credits only through December 31, 2016 and will sunset after that date. Background on the LCFS The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is a regulation to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels sold in California ten percent by 2020.

All Fuel Pathway Codes (FPCs) corresponding to such pathways will be deactivated from the Alternative Fuels Portal (AFP)and will not be available to report in the LCFS Reporting Tool and Credit Bank & Transfer System (LRT-CBTS) effective 1st quarter, 2017. However, to ensure reporting of fuel transactions for Q4, 2016, these pathway FPCs will remain active in the LRT-CBTS through the end of the reporting period for Q4, 2016. An excel spreadsheet of all pathways which were not recertified can be obtained from the LCFS website at https://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/pathwaytable.htm. This sheet will be separate from an excel spreadsheet that includes pathways with active CIs for reporting purposes. Fuel pathways recertified in 2016 and all new pathway applications certified in 2016 using the CA-GREET 2.0 model are not subject to the current deactivation date. Applicants who intend to pursue new fuel pathways may submit Tier 1 or Tier 2 applications using the AFP. Please consult the following guidance document when applying for a new pathway: https://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/newpathway-01062016.pdf If you have any questions about fuel pathway CIs, please contact Anil Prabhu, Manager, Fuels Evaluation Section, Transportation Fuels Branch at (916) 445-9227 or via e-mail at Anil.Prabhu@arb.ca.gov.
