LOS ANGELES — California climate officials announced on Wednesday that they plan to meet the timeline to revise their emissions trading program for transportation fuels following a rejection from the state’s administrative law agency last month.
What occurred: The California Air Resources Board will submit modifications to its transportation fuels emissions trading program ahead of the 120-day timeline set by the Office of Administrative Law, according to a senior agency representative at the North American Carbon World conference in Los Angeles.
CARB Deputy Executive Officer Rajinder Sahota stated that CARB is addressing the concerns raised by the OAL, which turned down the agency’s amendments to its low-carbon fuel standard in February, and aims to resubmit the regulation “as quickly as possible.”
“We don’t aim to utilize the full 120 days,” Sahota mentioned. “We recognize that investments require stability … so anticipate that we will proceed as swiftly as we can.”
