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.

To download the complete report, summary and transmittal letter please visit: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/jlbcreports/jlbcreports.htm The report provides a detailed update on ARB’s activities to achieve the goals of AB 32. ARB has undertaken ground-breaking climate change initiatives, notably Cap-and-Trade, the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and the Advanced Clean Cars Program, and we are working in close partnership with our regional partners to implement SB 375. Since AB 32 was passed, ARB has worked diligently to develop California’s climate change programs and to ensure their smooth implementation. We have made excellent progress towards achieving our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. This report was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Supplemental Report of the 2012 Budget Act, item 3900-001-0001, which requires ARB to provide AB 32 program updates semi-annually and AB 32 fiscal information annually to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.

SACRAMENTO - The Air Resources Board today posted on its website the public discussion draft of the required update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan. The Scoping Plan describes the comprehensive range of efforts California must take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and meet the state’s long-term goals to combat climate change. AB 32 requires the Scoping Plan to be updated every five years. The original Plan, first released in 2008, was developed on the principle that a balanced mix of strategies is the best way to cut emissions and grow California’s economy in a clean and sustainable direction. This draft update continues with that approach and focuses on three questions: • How have we done over the past five years? • What is needed to continue the prescribed course of action to 2020? • What steps must California now take to meet the state’s climate goals beyond 2020? California’s strategy to meet the goals of AB 32 is based on the continued implementation of adopted actions including Advanced Clean Cars, the 33% Renewables Portfolio Standard, statewide energy-efficiency initiatives, Cap-and-Trade, the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and other programs. They are designed to achieve significant reductions of greenhouse gases in every sector of California’s economy through improved energy efficiency, and by providing consumers with cleaner fuel choices. The discussion draft includes an analysis of progress to date, finding that California is on track to meet the AB 32 2020 goal of greenhouse gas reductions. An overview of the current science of climate change in the draft includes an expanded discussion of short-lived climate pollutants such as methane and black carbon. It also includes actions California must take to continue greenhouse gas reductions in six key focus areas: energy; transportation, land use, fuels and infrastructure; water; agriculture; natural and working lands; and, waste. The draft update is the result of a series of discussions and input over the past year by a broad range of state agencies and departments and the state Climate Action Team. In addition, four public workshops were held over the summer in Los Angeles, Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco in an effort to consider comments prior to developing the draft. The release of the discussion draft update marks the beginning of a public comment period to help inform the Proposed Update to the Scoping Plan. Future steps in the development of the Proposed Update include a public workshop on October 15 in Sacramento (which will also be webcast), and a meeting of the Board at the end of October to hear from all stakeholders and provide further direction to staff on revisions to the discussion draft presentation to the ARB at its Board meeting at the end of October. Following the October Board meeting, the draft will be revised and then presented to the Board at its December meeting. The Board is anticipated to consider approval of the update in Spring of 2014.

The workshop is open to all interested parties. In addition, the workshop will be webcasted for those unable to attend in person and can be accessed the day of the workshop at the link provided below. DATE: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 TIME: 1:00 p.m. LOCATION: Cal/EPA HQ Building, Byron Sher Auditorium, 1001 “I” Street, Sacramento DIRECTIONS: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPABldg/location.htm WEBCAST LINK: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1 Agenda and presentation materials will be posted prior to the workshop at the following location: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/meetings/meetings.htm During the workshop, ARB staff will provide a summary of the Discussion Draft elements, an updated 2013 schedule, and then designate a timeline for public comment and feedback on the Discussion Draft, which was released for public review on October 1, 2013. In addition, ARB is collecting public comments on the discussion draft at the following website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/2013comments.htm (Note: The comment period on the discussion draft opened on October 1, 2013 at 3:00 pm and closes on November 1, 2013 at 5:00 pm.) What is the 2013 Update to AB 32 Scoping Plan? As required by AB 32, the initial Scoping Plan was adopted in 2008. This Plan must be updated every five years. The 2013 Update to the Scoping Plan will define ARB’s climate change priorities for the next five years and lay the groundwork to start the transition to achieve post-2020 goals. The 2013 Update will highlight California’s progress toward meeting the “near-term” 2020 GHG emission reduction goals defined in the original 2008 Scoping Plan. It will also evaluate how to align the State's “longer-term” GHG reduction strategies with other State policy priorities, such as for water, waste, natural resources, agriculture, clean energy, transportation and land use.

As required by AB 32, the initial Scoping Plan was developed in 2008. This Plan must be updated every five years. The Update to the Scoping Plan (Update) builds upon the initial Scoping Plan with new strategies and recommendations. The Update will define ARB’s climate change priorities for the next five years and lay the groundwork to start the transition to achieve California’s post-2020 climate goals. It will highlight California’s progress toward meeting the near-term 2020 GHG emission reduction goals defined in the initial Scoping Plan and will evaluate how to align the State's longer-term GHG reduction strategies with other State policy priorities, for water, waste, natural resources, agriculture, clean energy, transportation and land use.
