The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) will release an addendum
to the October 21, 2016 paper entitled “Industrial Assistance
Factor Calculation: Informal Staff Proposal”
(https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/20161021/ct-af-proposal-102116.pdf)
at the website
https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/20161021/ct-af-proposal-addendum-111016.pdf
at 5 pm on Thursday, November 10, 2016. This addendum is a
continuation of the public process of the 2016 amendments to the
Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation).  The addendum will include
an informal staff proposal for post-2020 assistance factors for
non-manufacturing sectors and other sectors (wet corn milling;
cyclic crude, intermediate, and gum and wood chemical
manufacturing; other motor vehicle parts manufacturing).  The
addendum will also describe the methodology and supporting data
with which staff calculated these assistance factors.  ARB staff
requests feedback on this proposed methodology for the
aforementioned sectors by 5 pm on Wednesday, November 23, 2016; a
link to submit comments on the addendum will be available the
week of November 14.

Background
The Board first formally adopted the Regulation in October 2011,
and subsequently approved limited amendments to the Regulation in
June 2012, October 2013, April 2014, September 2014, and most
recently June 2015.  The upcoming 2016 amendments will seek to
improve Program efficiency, update the Regulation using the
latest information, and chart post-2020 implementation of the
Program.
