Purpose of Workshop
This
workshop is the next step in the informal public process to develop potential
amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation.
Staff invites stakeholders to participate in the 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 three
previous workshops, and will continue the discussion of possible amendment
topics. 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,
July 5, 2018.
Materials
that will be discussed at the workshop will be available at 12:00 p.m. (noon) Pacific time
on June 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.

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.
