arbcombo -- GHG Reporting Tool Training Site Now Available

Posted: 26 Feb 2009 08:53:49
ARB's Mandatory GHG Reporting web pages have been updated to
provide access to the GHG Reporting Tool Training Site.  The
Training Site for the California Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting
Tool is now available for use by facilities and power entities
subject to mandatory GHG emissions reporting.  The login page and
documentation, including User Guide and Primer for the Reporting
Tool, can be found via the tool website at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghg-tool.htm.  The
Training Site and support documents will enable reporters to
become familiar with the tool leading up to activation of the
actual Reporting Site on March 18, 2009.
Facilities and entities who have confirmed their contact
information with ARB have been mailed access codes in a letter
dated February 25, 2009.  Others with an interest in
understanding the reporting tool are invited to review the posted
documentation, and send a request for access to
ghgreport@arb.ca.gov.
The Reporting Tool is key to implementation of California’s
mandatory GHG reporting regulation, approved by the Board in
December 2007 and now effective.  In addition to the tool
guidelines mentioned above, Instructional Guidance that explains
reporting requirements in detail is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghg-rep.htm.  In March
and April 2009 staff will provide training workshops and webinars
for GHG emissions reporting, including use of the online
reporting tool and the training of third-party verifiers.   The
website will be updated as dates for these workshops and meetings
are set.
The final regulation text and Final Statement of Reasons (FSOR)
are available on ARB's regulatory website:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2007/ghg2007/ghg2007.htm.
Reporting Schedule Update

As a result of the delay in finalizing the Reporting Tool, ARB
has posted a Regulatory Advisory providing a two-month grace
period for reporters subject to the regulation’s April 1, 2009,
reporting deadline.  For this first year, the deadline for all
sectors will be June 1, 2009.  This will allow all reporters
about three months to learn the reporting tool and complete their
emissions reports.  In addition, reporters who choose to have
their initial emissions reports verified will have until December
1, 2009 to complete that process.  These details are specified in
the Advisory now posted at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reporting/ghg-rep/ghgschedadvisory.pdf.

Questions and inquiries may be directed by e-mail to
ghgreport@arb.ca.gov, or by phone to Patrick Gaffney, Staff Air
Pollution Specialist (916-322-7303) or Doug Thompson, Manager,
Climate Change Reporting Section (916-322-7062).
