Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of the Proposed California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms Regulation, Including Compliance Offset Protocols | |
Staff
will recommend that the Board take final action to adopt the proposed
cap-and-trade regulation. The regulation was first presented to
the Board at a public hearing held on December 16, 2010, at which the
Board directed staff to make a number of modifications to the proposed
regulation. The modified cap-and-trade regulation, which includes
four compliance protocols, is now being brought back to the Board for
final action. As part of this action, staff is also recommending,
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, that the
Board approve staff's written responses to public comments received on
the environmental analysis for the proposed regulation, and approve a
proposed Adaptive Management Plan for the Cap-and-Trade Regulation. |

11-8-3 | Public Meeting to Update the Board on Mandatory Commercial Waste Recycling | |
ARB
staff, in coordination with CalRecycle staff, will present to the Board
an informational update on Assembly Bill (AB) 341, which was recently
signed by the Governor. Because AB 341 is consistent with the
requirements of a proposed regulation that was originally scheduled to
be considered by the Board at this meeting (the Proposed Regulation to
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Requiring Mandatory Commercial Waste
Recycling), staff believes the proposed regulation is no longer needed
and will not be presenting it to the Board for consideration.
Staff from both agencies will instead present this informational
update. | ||

Staff will present
to the Board proposed amendments to the TRU Airborne Toxic Control
Measure. The proposed amendments are designed to improve
compliance rates and enforceability, restore competitive fairness, and
clarify existing requirements. | ||

11-8-5 | Public Hearing to Consider 2011 Amendments to the California Reformulated Gasoline Regulations | |
Staff will present
to the Board proposed amendments to the California Reformulated
Gasoline Regulations. The proposed amendments correct drafting
errors in the "California Procedures for Evaluating Alternative
Specifications for Phase 3 Reformulated Gasoline Using the California
Predictive Model," delete outdated regulatory provisions, amend the
notification requirements for test-certified alternative gasoline
formulations, and amend the restrictions on blending CARBOB with other
liquids. Amendments are also being proposed to increase the
flexibility, enforceability, and consistency of the regulations. | ||
