California
Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) staff invites you to participate in a
public workshop on Thursday, April 26, 2018, to discuss the status and staff
thinking on potential amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation).
DATE: April 26, 2018
TIME: 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
LOCATION: California Environmental Protection Agency
Air Resources Board | Coastal Hearing Room
1001 I Street
Sacramento, California 95814
Purpose of Workshop
This
workshop is the next step in the public process to develop potential amendments
to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation. Staff
invites stakeholders to participate in a workshop to discuss potential changes
to the Regulation based on Board Resolution 17-21; AB 398, which
provides specific direction for the design of a post-2020 Cap-and-Trade
Program; and the need for clarification or other improvements. This workshop will serve as a follow up to the
March 2, 2018 and October 12, 2017 workshops, and will continue the
presentation and discussion of topics presented March 2, including summarizing
comments received. The workshop will
also cover topics presented in the new materials that will be released prior to
the event, and staff will provide updates on planned regulatory process and
tentative schedules.
Following the workshop,
stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide written comments during an
informal comment period, which will conclude at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday,
May 10, 2018.
Materials
that will be discussed at the workshop will be available at 12:00 p.m. (noon) Pacific time
on April 19, 2018.
All interested
stakeholders are invited to attend. A
live webcast of the workshop will be available for
those unable to attend in person.
Market Sensitive

Given
the existing market and the fact that some post-2020 elements may influence current
market behavior, CARB will exercise due diligence to ensure all market influencing
information is made available to all stakeholders at the same time.
