  • INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR PROPOSED RULEMAKING, PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE - To access this document, go to the "Formal Regulatory Documents" Page

AB 1085 Background: On October 11, 2009, AB 1085 was signed into law and became effective on January 1, 2010. The legislation was subsequently amended by SB 855, which was signed into law and became effective on October 19, 2010, the complete amended text reads:

SECTION 1. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to ensure that the public is provided all of the information relied on by State Air Resources Board staff in proposing the adoption, amendment, or repeal of a regulation, including all information related to, but not limited to, air emissions, public health impacts, and economic impacts. Nothing in this act is intended to supersede the provisions of the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) or the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code).

SECTION 2. Section 39601.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read: 39601.5. (a) The state board shall make available to the public all information described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 11346.2 of the Government Code, related to, but not limited to, air emissions, public health impacts, and economic impacts, before the comment period for any regulation proposed for adoption by the state board. (b) In meeting the requirement of subdivision (a), the state board shall not release proprietary, confidential, or otherwise legally protected business information. The state board shall release information in aggregated form, where necessary, to protect proprietary, confidential, or otherwise legally protected business information.

The information provided below is separated into Emissions, Economy and Public Heath Impacts for LEV III and ZEV, LEV III only, ZEV only and the CFO Regulation.

Emissions Data


LEV III and ZEV

  EMISSIONS INVENTORY - CARBITS REBOUND
  EMISSIONS INVENTORY - GREENHOUSE GASES
  EMISSIONS INVENTORY -MODELS
  • "LEV3 Tool" - Generates statewide baseline and LEV3 emission rates and inventories

  • "Scaling Tool" - Takes a regional EMFAC run as input and scales the data to the LEV3 tool adjusted baseline

  • Annual Inventory - Apply LEV3 Reductions to Regional EMFAC Inventory, Annual or Summer Average

  • Summer Inventory - Apply LEV3 Reductions to Regional EMFAC Inventory, Annual or Summer Average

  • "CARBITS Tool" - Generates emissions from CARBITS population inputs and LEV3 Tool emission rates

  • Regional Inventory - Generates regional inventory based on summer or annual inventories referenced above

  • Model Structure and Inputs - A brief description of the input tables in the models

  • Model Directions - Directions on how to run the emissions models

Clean Fuels Outlet

  • GHG Analysis - Workbook of CFO GHG emissions calculations including emissions calculator and output data, criteria pollutant calculations and graphs, and data used to perform the calculations. - part of 15-day changes

  • CA GREET version 1.8b - Lifecycle analysis tool used for CFO GHG and criteria pollutant analyses.

  • CFO GREET Output File - Output data from CA GREET v1.8b used for CFO GHG and criteria pollutant analyses.

 


Economic Data


LEV III and ZEV

  CARBITS
  • CARBITS Input Generators and Files

    • !Vehtech_file_generator7_XXX.xls adjusts vehicle attributes based on different methods:

    • _oa: adjusts by overall fleet average values

    • _fa_ct: adjusts by fleet average values for cars and trucks separately

    • _fa_om: adjusts by OMEGA vehicle class

    • _ice_ct: adjusts by only non-ZEV vehicles for cars and trucks separately (produces vehtech_XXX_rescale.csv)

    • user_fuel_ieprsept11r_XXX.xls: various fuel price input files

    • vehtech_XXX.xls: various technology attribute files produced by file generator for baseline and policy scenarios

  • CARBITS Model - MATLAB program that produce fleet composition projections
    See CARBITS Readme.pdf (part of zip file) for instructions on running model

  • CARBITS Output for TSD Scenarios - Raw output files and summary fleet metrics for baseline and policy scenarios and sensitivity analyses

  • CARBITS Reviews - External Reviews of the CARBITS Model and Results

  • CARBITS Tables for ISOR - Summary statistics of vehicle attributes of alternatives in CARBITS

  • Summary of CARBITS Results - Underlying data for graphs of CARBITS results in Appendix S

  • Emission Reductions with CARBITS populations - Emissions results assuming consumer response
