WE'RE HOLDING OUR COMMITTEE HERE
IS THE- STREET BUILDING AT
SCHOOL MEMBERS SUB COMMITTEE
PRESIDENT TWENTY TWO HUNDRED TO
ESTABLISH QUORUM AND BEGIN OUR
HEARING WE'VE TWENTY TWO ISSUES
ON TODAY'S AGENDA WITH CUSSING
ALL THE ISSUES LISTED DISCUSSION
SECTION AGENDA. AFTER THAT WE
WILL HAVE PUT PUBLIC COMMENT ON
ALL THE ITEMS AND THEY WILL HAVE
A VOTE ON ONLY CALENDAR ON ONE
TO SIXTEEN FOR BEGIN LET'S JUST
A- CONSULTANT PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL. BAKER HERE BAKER HERE DALI
DALI HERE MCGUIRE. FOR INSTANCE
THE QUORUM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIRST START
WITH A DISCUSSION ITEM AS
SEVENTEEN ON THE CAP AND TRADE
SPENDING PLANS TO AVOID
EVERYBODY UP WHO'S GOING TO-
PARTICIPATE IN THIS IMPORTANT
DISCUSSION.
X. I THINK WE'LL HAVE. THE
RESEARCH SUPPORT START OFF. FOR
DEPARTMENT FINANCE DEPARTMENTS
OKAY. GO AHEAD PLEASE WRITTEN.
GOOD MORNING SIR BECKER NUMBERS-
BRANDON MERIT WITH THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE THE
ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES A TWO
POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLAR CAP
AND TRADE SPENDING PLAN AND
TWENTY TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR
WHICH YOU CAN FIND ON PAGE
ELEVEN OF YOUR AGENDA THE
SPENDING PLAN IS BASED ON THE
ESTIMATED GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FUND OR G. G. OR F.
REVENUES THAT ARE A RESULT OF
AUCTION PROCEEDS FROM FOR
QUARTERLY AUCTIONS PER FISCAL
YEAR. IT SEEMS ALL CURRENT AND
ADVANCED ALLOWED TO SELL THE
FLOOR PRICE SIMILAR TO
HISTORICAL PRACTICES
METHODOLOGIES USED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION TO PREVENT
SPECULATION ON UPCOMING CHANGES
RELATED TO THE FLOOR PRICE THIS
ALSO PREVENTS ANY FORM OF MARKET
SIGNAL AND HELPS MAINTAIN THE
INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTION
PROCESS OF THE AUCTION PROCESS.
ORANGE NOTE THAT WE DO UPDATE
OUR ESTIMATE TO REFLECT ACTUAL
REVENUES AFTER AUCTIONS OCCUR
THE ADMINISTRATION WILL BE
EVALUATING CAP AND TRADE
REVENUES FOR THE MAY REVISION
AND REFLECT UPDATED REVENUES AT
THAT POINT. PORTANTINO THAT
THEIR STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS
CALCULATED AS IMMEDIATE OFF THE
TOP THE ACTIONS IN PARTICULAR
THE STATE RESPONSIBILITY AREA
FEEDBACK FILL THE MANUFACTURING
TAX CREDIT. AND HEALTHY AND
RESILIENT FORCE NEXT IS THE
MANDATORY 65% DEDUCTION FOR
CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS. TO
THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM'S HIGH
SPEED RAIL FORCIBLE HOUSING IN
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES TRANSIT
AND INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL
PROGRAM. LOW CARBON TRANSIT
OPERATIONS PROGRAM AND SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER
PROGRAM. WHAT REMAINS 35%
REVENUES WHICH ARE CONSIDERED
DISCRETIONARY. FOR THE TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET THE ADMINISTRATION
EXCLUSIVELY PROPOSES THIS
DISCRETIONARY POT. THE BACKFILL
GENERAL FUND SOLUTIONS
SPECIFICALLY TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION TOWARDS SB SIX SEVENTEEN
PROGRAMS AND SIX HUNDRED AND
ELEVEN MILLION TOWARDS. IS AS
GENERAL FUND SOLUTIONS SPLIT
BETWEEN CARBON CC. LASTLY AS
MENTIONED- DURING THE- CONTROL
USING CONTROL SUCH FIFTEEN. ONE
FOUR CONTAINS LANGUAGE
SPECIFYING THAT ANY ADDITIONAL
DISCRETIONARY FUTURE REFERENCE
NEWS IN THE TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR FISCAL YEAR. SHALL BE USED
AS ADDITIONAL BACK FILL FOR SETH
PROGRAMS IMPACTED BY GENERAL
FUND REDUCTIONS. THAT CONCLUDES
MY PRESENTATION AND I ALONG WITH
MY CARD COLLEAGUES AS NEEDED.
IMPACT TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE. GREAT TO HAVE THE
ELLIE- NEXIM. GREAT THANK YOU-
SURPASSES SYSTEM. SO WE PREPARE
TO HAND OUT FOR TODAY SO YOU
SHOULD HAVE THIS IN FRONT OF
YOU- I'LL I'LL WALK THROUGH IT-
IT'S ALSO AVAILABLE ON ELIA
WEBSITE FOR ANY MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC WHO MAY WANT TO FOLLOW
ALONG AND THERE SHOULD BE COPIES
OUTSIDE THE HEARING ROOM. THE
STAFF IS ASKED ME TO GIVE AN
OVERVIEW OF CAP AND TRADE
SPENDING- SO TURNING TO PAGE ONE
OF THE HAND OUT. THE CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM IS A MARKET BASED
MECHANISM TO REDUCE EMISSIONS BY
ESTABLISHING AN ANNUAL CAP ON
EMISSIONS IT DECLINES OVER TIME
. CARB ISSUES ALLOWANCES EQUAL
TO THE CAPTAIN ENTITIES COVERED
UNDER THE PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES
LARGE EMITTERS SUCH AS
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES AND
REFINERIES. PURCHASE ALLOWANCES
TO COMPLY- ALLOWANCES CAN ALSO
BE TREATED ON THE OPEN MARKET
AND CARD CARD GIVE SOME AWAY FOR
FREE- ENTITIES CAN ALSO PURCHASE
OFFSETS TO. ATTAIN COMPLIANCE.
COMPOSE FOR THESE AUCTIONS PER
YEAR AND REVENUES ARE DEPOSITED
INTO THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FUND- AND EDDIE'S
THESE REVENUES WERE OFF REYES
WITH A TWO THIRDS VOTE OF THE
LEGISLATURE SO THOUGH THEY'RE
INTENDED FOR CLIMATE ACTIVITIES
THEY- THEY CAN IN THEORY BE USED
FOR OTHER PURPOSES. AND IN
RECENT YEARS A CAP AND TRADE
REVENUES HAVE TOTALED BETWEEN
THREE AND FOUR POINT THREE
BILLION PER YEAR. THE TURNING
THE PAGE TO- OPTION RIVER NEWS
R. AS I MENTIONED INTENDED TO
SUPPORT- CLIMATE ACTIVITIES.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATIONS SO ABOUT 65% OF
REVENUE GOES GOES TO THESE TIMES
STATUTORILY AUTHORIZED
APPROPRIATIONS SOME OF THE
LARGER BUCKETS YOU CAN SEE HERE
INCLUDE HIGH SPEED RAIL IN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ADDITIONAL
REVENUE SO ABOUT 30% IS
REMAINING FOR DISCRETIONARY
EXPENDITURES- SOME OF THE LARGER
CATEGORIES THAT THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE GOVERNOR HAVE HAVE
ELECTED TO FUNDED THROUGH TO
FIND IN PAST YEARS INCLUDE. LOW
CARBON TRANSPORTATION AND FOREST
HEALTH PROGRAMS. AND THEN
TURNING TO PAGE THREE- SO YOU
CAN SEE HERE ADD A SUMMARY OF
CAP AND TRADE SPENDING BY AREA
SENSE SINCE THE PROGRAM BEGAN
GENERATING REVENUE SO ABOUT
NINETEEN POINT FOUR BILLION HAS
BEEN SPENT. AND I YOU CAN ALSO
SEE HERE THAT THE MOST DANGEROUS
FUNDS HAVE FOCUSED ON ACTIVITIES
INTENDED TO REDUCE EMISSIONS
MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE RATHER
THAN. ADAPTING TO IT BUT YOU CAN
SEE THAT SOME PROGRAMS SUCH AS
FOREST HEALTH- ARE FOCUSED MORE
ON ADAPTATION. AND YOU CAN ALSO
SEE THAT THE MAJORITY OF
REVENUES HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO
THESE CONTINUOUS EXPENDITURES-
SUCH AS HIGH SPEED RAIL- AND
THAT THAT AND THERE'S A LARGE
FOCUS ON TRANSPORTATION AIR
QUALITY. SO MOVING TO PAGE FOUR
FROM THE ADMINISTRATION DEVELOPS
ESTIMATES FOR- EMISSION
REDUCTIONS ASSOCIATED FROM- WITH
SO SEATED WITH FUTURE AFFECTS
VENTURES. AND ALSO PREPARES-
COST PER TON OF CARBON REDUCED.
SO USING THEM WITH WITH THESE
WITH THESE ESTIMATES PREPARED BY
THE ADMINISTRATION- YOU CAN SEE
THAT MANY MANY PROGRAMS ARE LESS
COST EFFECTIVE AS COMPARED TO
OTHER PROGRAMS SO. THERE'S QUITE
OF QUITE A ROOF A WIDE RANGE OF
COST EFFECTIVENESS IN TERMS OF
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS WITH SOME
PROGRAMS. ESTIMATED AT NINE
DOLLARS PER TON AND OTHERS
CLOSER TO A HUNDRED SIXTY
THOUSAND PER TIME- WITH MOST
BETWEEN ABOUT A HUNDRED FIFTY IN
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS PER TON-
THESE ARE. SLIGHTLY MORE COSTLY
THAN OTHER MAJOR PROGRAMS SUCH
AS CAP AND TRADE THE LOW CARBON
FUEL STANDARD AND THE RENEWABLE
PORTFOLIO STANDARD- THOSE THOSE
RANGE FROM ABOUT THIRTY TO
SEVENTY DOLLARS PER TONNE. OUR
OFFICE AND THE STATE AUDITOR
HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT EMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS ARE LIKELY
OVERSTATED- THIS IS BECAUSE THE
ADMINISTRATION AND CRAFTING THE
AT THE ESTIMATES- OFTEN DOES
NOT. ACCOUNT FOR OF THE
INTERACTION OF DIFFERENT
INCENTIVE PROGRAMS. SO KEEPING
THIS IN MIND THAT BANDES
ESTIMATES ARE ARE UP BUT
POTENTIALLY OVERSTATED THERE ARE
CERTAIN PROGRAMS THAT ARE
ESTIMATED TO BE MORE COST
EFFECTIVE- YOU CAN SEE THESE
HEARINGS THEY INCLUDE THE DERRY
DIED A JURY DAY DRESSER IN
AGRICULTURE PROGRAMS- AND
TURNING TO PAGE FIVE- IT'S ALSO.
WORTH KEEPING IN MIND THAT THERE
IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL GOALS
THAT MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS
SERVICE BEYOND I'M REDUCING
EMISSIONS SO COST EFFECTIVENESS
OF REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS. MAY NOT NECESSARILY
BE THE SOLE METRIC BY WHICH TO
EVALUATE THESE PROGRAMS FOR
EXAMPLE THE A WHAT THE AB SIX
ONE SEVEN PROGRAM FOCUSES ON
REDUCING AIR POLLUTION AND
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. AND
THEN. TURNING TO PAGE SIX SO-
WEEK WE HEARD FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION THEIR- SPENDING
PROPOSAL SO I WON'T GO INTO MUCH
DETAIL HERE BUT- I'LL JUST
EMPHASIZE THAT- THAT. THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING TO
USE ALL OF THE DISCRETIONARY
GIRAFFE REVENUES TO BACK FILL
REDUCTIONS IN THOSE THAT
PACKAGE. EXCUSE ME AND IN THE AB
SIX ONE SEVEN COMMITTEE-
PROTECTION PROGRAM. AND THEN
MOVING TO PAGE SEVEN. THE
ADMINISTRATION IS ALSO PROPOSING
BUDGET CONTROL SECTION LANGUAGE
TO AUTOMATICALLY ALLOCATE
ADDITIONAL TEACHER F. REVENUES
BEYOND EXPECTATIONS TO HAVE
PROGRAMS. AND COMMITS OUT YOUR
TEACHER AFTER REVENUES AND SO
BOTH IN TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE
AND TWENTY FIVE TWENTY SIX. SO
MOVING TO A PAGE AIDS WE HAVE A
FEW ISSUES FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION- FIRST THE STATE
WILL LIKELY HAVE ADDITIONAL GGF
REVENUES AVAILABLE SO THE
ADMINISTRATION USES THE FLOOR
PRICE OF ALLOWANCES TO CALCULATE
ITS ESTIMATES- BUT OCT BUT IN
RECENT AUCTIONS ALLOWANCES HAVE
SOLD ABOVE THE FOR PRICE SO. WE
ESTIMATE THAT BOTH IN THE
CURRENT AND THE BUDGET TOTAL-
ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION MORE
COULD BE AVAILABLE- YOU MAY WANT
TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE
CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS
CONTINUE TO. REFLECT LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES AS MOST OF THESE WERE
ESTABLISHED- AS PART OF THE
TWENTY FOURTEEN TWENTY FIFTEEN
BUDGET. AND WHILE THE GOVERNOR'S
PRIORITIZING SEVEN VESTMENTS THE
LEGISLATURE MAY PREFER- A
DIFFERENT MIX OF FUNDING FOR
THIS FOR THIS REVENUE. THE
ADMINISTRATION'S. APPROACH
AROUND THE DRUDGERY OF TRIGGERS
OF THE BUDGET CONTROL SECTION
LANGUAGE WOULD ALSO LIMIT
LEGISLATIVE FLEXIBILITY IN
OVERSIGHT OF THESE FUNDS AND
WOOD AND WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
THAT YOU PROJECT THAT THE
TRIGGER APPROACH. WE ALSO
RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSIDER THE
TRADEOFFS OF A SERVICE OF- THAT
THE TRADE OFFS ASSOCIATED WITH
COMMITTING OUT YOUR- FUTURE ASK
FUNDS NOW- THERE COULD BE A
MERCHANT PRIORITIES THAT THAT
THE LEGISLATURE- MAY HAVE BEEN
FUTURE YEARS AND THIS WOULD BE
AN UNUSUAL APPROACH TO COMMIT
OUT YOUR TEACHER IF REVENUES NOW
. AND FINALLY- LAST PAGE WE ALSO
RECOMMEND THAT YOU SEEK CLARITY
ON THE FUND BALANCE FOR G.
GIRAFFES SO THE ADMINISTRATION
HAS NOT PROVIDED AN ACCURATE
FUND BALANCE- THIS INFORMATION
COULD BE HELPFUL TO GET A BETTER
SENSE OF THE JUJUR OF PICTURE
AND HOW MUCH REVENUES AVAILABLE.
AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
I WILL NUMBER QUESTIONS HERE AND
THEN I'LL TURN MY COLLEAGUES
WANT TO START WITH A FEW.
COMMENTS BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH AN
IMPORTANT TOPIC- I'D SAY THAT
YOU KNOW BIG BECAUSE HE'S
REVENUES ARE. IN PART CRITICAL
FOR US IN IN REDUCING GREENHOUSE
GASES AND IN IN TOUGH BUDGET
YEARS IT MAY BE SO THE ONLY
REVENUES THAT WE HAVE. GOING
FORWARD SO BUT ONE OF MY BIGGEST
PARTIES FOR THIS COMMITTEE IS-
JUST TRYING TO WORK GO MAKE SURE
THAT GOING FORWARD. THAT WE'RE
SPENDING THE MONEY ON IT ON
EFFECTIVE EQUITABLE GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTIONS. AS I'VE
MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS COMMITTEES
REDUCE EMISSIONS RIGHT NOW ABOUT
ONE PERCENT. A YEAR WE NEED TO
BE REDUCING ABOUT 425% A YEAR.
CLIMATE CHANGE WILL THAT BE
DEFICIT TO ALL CALIFORNIANS
PARTICULARLY HISTORICALLY
MARGINALIZED IN LOW INCOME.
NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE LESS
SUCCESS WE ARE PROVING
AGGRESSIVE REDUCTIONS WITH VERY
WITH DURABLE CARBON SINKS. WE'RE
CREATING EVEN WORSE HEATWAVES
FLOODING INTENSE STORMS
AGRICULTURAL LOSSES. FOR
CHILDREN AND THEN IS EXPECTED-
BEYOND WE NEED TO DEMONSTRATE AS
PER THE- BILL PASSED LAST YEAR
WE GET TO NEXT YEAR BY TWENTY
FORTY FIVE WITH 85% REDUCTIONS.
WHILE BRINGING ALONG RESIDENTS
THAT WON'T HAVE CAPITAL OR TIME
TO TRANSITION. SO IT'S
IMPERATIVE WERE TACTICAL ABOUT
HOW WE'RE USING THESE FUNDS TO
INCLUDE ALL CALIFORNIANS IN THE
CLIMATE. A TRANSITION. AND
CURRENTLY IS- IT HIGHLIGHTED
THESE. MISSIONS THAT SORRY ARE
FUNDING REALLY ARE GOING TO A
VARIETY OF PROJECTS HAVE A
RIGHTY OF GREAT BENEFITS- BUT- I
THINK IF WE LOOK GOING FORWARD
IN THE UPCOMING YEARS TO THINK
ABOUT HOW WE CAN GO BACK TO SOME
OF THE- FUNDAMENTALS TARGETING.
THE TRAGEDY THE TRANSITION FROM
GAS POWERED VEHICLES INDUSTRIAL
EMISSIONS. SEVEN THE CLEAN
ENERGY TRANSITION DECARBONIZING
BUILDINGS AND. REDUCING METHANE
EMISSIONS FROM AGRICULTURE. IN A
SUPPORTING JUSTIN COMMUNITY. IN
THIS TRANSITION AS WE DISCUSSED-
LAST WEEK PARTICULARLY SAY IN
THIS. A TRANSITION. TO ALLOW YOU
CAN GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF
THE- BANG FOR THE BUCK-
ANALYSES- AND I JUST WANTED TO
JUST KIND OF CLARIFY FOR MYSELF
TO ONE OF THINGS MENTIONED. IN
PREVIOUS ELLIOT REPORTS AS WELL
AS- YOU MENTIONED TODAY. IS THAT
THE CALIFORNIA CLIMATE
INVESTMENT OPTION PER DOLLAR
MEASUREMENTS THAT ARE POSTED.
DON'T MISS A TICKET ACCOUNT
SPENDING FROM NON CAPTURE OTHER
REGULATIONS THAT MIGHT INCREASE
REDUCTIONS CAN USE ELABORATE ON
THAT FROM. YEAH MISTER ROSS
BROWN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE YES THAT'S AN
ISSUE THAT WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED
IN PREVIOUS REPORTS AND I THINK
IT'S ALSO BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN.
ABOUT THE REPORTS FROM THE STATE
AUDITOR FOR EXAMPLE AND THE MAIN
ISSUE ESSENTIALLY IS THAT A LOT
OF THE FUNDING THROUGH THE JDRF
GOES TO FUND ACTIVITIES SUCH AS
THE ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE
PURCHASE FOR EXAMPLE WHERE THERE
ARE OTHER FUNDING SOURCES THAT
MIGHT ALSO GO TO KIND OF SUPPORT
THAT- FOR EXAMPLE ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLE PURCHASE FOR EXAMPLE
FEDERAL FUNDING. FOR MIGHT BE
OTHER STATE PROGRAM STATE
REGULATORY PROGRAMS THAT ARE
ALSO KIND OF ENCOURAGING THE
SALE OF THAT VEHICLE AND SO ON
WHEN YOU SORT OF CONSIDER THOSE
OTHER PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALSO
KIND OF SUPPORTING THAT EMISSION
REDUCTION ACTIVITY- IT MIGHT
SORT OF- YOU KNOW. YOU MIGHT
COME UP WITH A G. G. R. US COST
PER TON ESTIMATE THAT IS NOT.
ENTIRELY ACCURATE WANT TO SORT
OF TAKE SOME OF THOSE OTHER
FACTORS INTO CONSIDERATION IN
THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE
DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. RECOVERS A
WAY THAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT
THINK ABOUT THOSE DISPARITIES.
SURE HAPPY TO TAKE THAT- MY NAME
CITY FOR JUST SOME A DIVISION
CHIEF WITH THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD- SO I REPRESENT
BOTH KIND OF THE REGULATORY SIDE
AND THE INCENTIVE SIDE SO ONE
THING I'D- LIKE TO UNDERSCORE IN
THESE CONVERSATIONS. IS THAT
WHEN IT COMES THE EMISSION
REDUCTIONS THAT OUR TRIBUTE TO
OUR RAGS THE THAT IS VERY
PRECISE WE HAVE A- YOU KNOW
STATE OF THE ART INVENTORY THAT
WE REFINE OVER TIME AND- WE USE.
YOU KNOW QUITE METHODICALLY. AND
A REGULATORY ESTIMATES ON THE
INSIDE OF SIDE- YOU KNOW ONE OF
THE THINGS I THINK WE'VE ALL
RECOGNIZED OVER TIME. IS THAT
THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
EFFORTS GOING INTO TRYING TO
REDUCE EMISSIONS IN THE SPACE.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN A PROGRAMS
AS MISTER BROWN POINTED OUT. AND
WE WORK OVERTIME WITH
STAKEHOLDERS TO TRY TO REFINER
QUANTIFICATION METHODOLOGIES. IN
FACT IN THE PAST WE'VE TAKEN
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM LA- ON ON
HOW TO DO THAT- AND MOVING
FORWARD AS A RESULT FROM THE
AUDITOR'S REPORT WE ALSO HAVE IN
PLACE A CONTRACT WITH UC
BERKELEY. TO HELP US IN A PARSIS
OUT EVEN FURTHER SO WE'RE ALWAYS
LOOKING FOR WAYS TO REFINE WE
HAVE A PRETTY. INTENSIVE PUBLIC
PROCESS THE HELP AND FORMER
QUANTIFICATION METHODOLOGIES SO
THIS IS AN AREA OF CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENT FOR US. SB SIX ONE
SEVEN I SENT SOME OF THE YOU
KNOW GRAB ARE SUPPOSED TO GO TO.
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
APPORTIONED HOW HOW IS THAT-
IT'S LIMITATION OF AB SIX ONE.
SEVEN GOING. THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THE INTEREST ON THE QUESTION
THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF OUR
FLAGSHIP PROGRAMS WHEN IT COMES
TO HELPING GET MUCH NEEDED
EMISSION REDUCTIONS. YOU KNOW IN
THE SPACE AND PARTICULARLY FROM
COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN MOST
HEAVILY BURDENED BY BOTH TOXIC
AIR POLLUTANTS CRITERIA
POLLUTANTS AND OF COURSE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. SO THE
WAY THE PROGRAM WORKS IS THAT AB
SIX ONE SEVEN CHARGE CARBON
LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS WITH WORKING
WITH COMMUNITIES AND
STAKEHOLDERS. TO HELP REALLY
TAKE COMMUNITIES LEAN- IN TERMS
OF IDENTIFYING MUCH NEEDED
PROJECTS. IN IN THEIR SPACE. SO
WHAT YOU SEE COMING OUT OF THE
AB SIX ONE SEVEN PROGRAM IS
REALLY A LITANY OF KIND OF FIRST
OF ITS KIND PROGRAMS WE SEE
MULTIPLE AIR DISTRICTS
PARTNERING. TO TURN OVER OLD
DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES AND REPLACING
THEM WITH TIER FOUR LOCOMOTIVES
WE SEE URBAN GREENING PROJECTS.
TRAFFIC RE ROUTING STUDIES ARE
REALLY THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT
PUTS COMMUNITIES AND THE LEAD
WHEN IT COMES TO IDENTIFYING
WHAT THEY NEED MOST IN THEIR
COMMUNITY. OKAY THANKS IT'S
DIRECTORS CHRISTMAS THE BERKELEY
ESTIMATES WHEN YOU EXPECT THOSE
TO. I WON'T NEED TO FOLLOW UP.
OKAY THE APOLOGIES YEAH. THAT
WOULD BE GOOD TO KNOW- YOU KNOW
I'M I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH
EACH AREA OF CURRENT. OKAY WE
SHOULD OVERSIGHT HEARING ON HIGH
SPEED RAIL THE OTHER DAY. FIVE
SEE THAT'S BEEN A BIG SOURCE OF
THESE. FUNDS AND WE ARE- OUR
TEAMS TALK DISCUSS WITH THEM HOW
THEY'RE ESTIMATING. THE VEHICLE
MILES TRAVELED OR VEHICLE
EMISSIONS THAT WILL BE SAVED.
OVER TIME. ON THE- FOR THE
HOUSING SYMBOL COMMUNITIES
PROGRAM. WHICH WHICH THESE
PROGRAMS GET THE MOST. OF THE
CAP AND TRADE. FUNDING OR WHICH
TO ANY. ANY SITES YOU CAN SHARE
WITH US ON THE. THAT IN
PARTICULAR WE DON'T HAVE THE-
AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE- OF
A CD WITH US TODAY SO I THINK
WE'RE GONNA GET BACK TO YOU AND-
WITH THE RESPONSE. OKAY GOOD
YEAH SOME SOME FOLLOW UP ON THAT
WEEKEND- DISCUSS GOING FORWARD-
IN ON THE- HEALTHY RESILIENT
FORESTS- THE PLAN SUPPORT HEY WE
- CORDY WITH THE NATIONAL
WORKING LANDS PLAN. WE DO HAVE A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM CAL FIRE WHO
I THINK IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER
THAT QUESTION. YES SIR WHERE
WOULD YOU LIKE THINK BEHIND THE-
EAR- WOULD MAKE THE MOST SENSE
YEAH. THAT'S FUNDS OF MIKE THE
AREA- DIRECTOR- SENATE MCGUIRE
DOLLY IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE
IN FRONT OF YOU AGAIN- MATTHEW
REISMAN ON THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR
FOR NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
WITH CAL FIRE. AND THE SHORT
ANSWER IS- WE ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT
OF THE NATIONAL WORKING LAND
STRATEGY WITHIN OUR FORCED
HEALTH PROGRAM IN OUR FIRE
PREVENTION PROGRAMS WHICH ARE
THE GRANT PROGRAMS THAT WE ARE
USING TO ADMINISTER THOSE FUNDS-
THE LONGER ANSWERS HOW DO WE DO
THAT AND- WE HAVE BUILT THAT
NARRATIVE INTO OUR GRANT
GUIDELINES. AND THEY'RE PART OF
THE SELECTION CRITERIA THAT WE
ARE USING- IN ORDER TO SELECT
GRANT PROJECTS BUT IT'S NOT JUST
THE NATURAL WORKING LAND
STRATEGIES WERE ALSO SUPPORTING-
THE CARBON PLAN FORCE CARBON
PLAN AND SEVERAL OF THE
STRATEGIES THAT ARE BEING
DEVELOPED UNDER THE WILD CARD
FOR STUDENTS TASK FORCE. SO AS
WE SELECT PROJECTS WERE LOOKING
AT PROJECTS THAT ARE PROMOTING
THOSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES- SO
THAT WE'RE ALL WORKING IN A
COMMON DIRECTION UNDERNEATH- THE
TASK FORCE. GREAT THANK YOU FOR
THAT. WE WANT TO GO A TURN OVER
TO MY COLLEAGUES ON A FUNNY
QUESTION I HAVE SOME. LITTLE
MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
OPERATIONS OF CAPITA TRADE RARE
THANK YOU- THE JUST FOR ELLIE-
SO IN TERMS OF. THE
MINISTRATIONS. OF USE BASICALLY
LOCKING UP DRUG THE SOME OF
THOSE REVENUES. IN THE FUTURE TO
EUROPE FOR YOUR COMMENT ON THAT
AGAIN WAS. SO WE RECOMMEND THAT
YOU REJECT THAT THAT APPROACH
THE BUDGET CONTROL SECTION
LANGUAGE OR THE ALSO KNOWN AS
THE G. G. OR F. TRIGGER- TWEET
WE JUST FIND THAT THAT THAT THAT
WOULD LIMIT- LEGISLATIVE
FLEXIBILITY AND- AND OVERSIGHT
OVER THE FUNDS IN THE FUTURE-
THIS THIS IS NOT AN APPROACH
THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN BEFORE AND-
I'M SURE THE LEGISLATURE. WANT
TO FOCUS ON DIRECTING YOU KNOW
ADDITIONAL DOLLARS THAT COULD
THAT COULD COME IN AND AS AS I
MENTIONED WE DO ESTIMATE THAT
THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL JUNIOR
IF REVENUES BEYOND WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS. PREDICTING
THE LEGISLATURE COULD ALWAYS
PASS A MID YEAR SPENDING BILL
AND- AND COULD FOCUS ON A
VARIETY OF ISSUES INCLUDING
THOSE THAT PACKAGE. BUT WE FIND
THAT THIS THIS BUDGET CONTROL
SECTION LANGUAGE WHICH WOULD BE-
WOULD BE BINDING AND WHAT
ULTIMATELY GIVE TOO MUCH
AUTHORITY TO THE ADMINISTRATION
. OKAY WE WILL TAKE THAT INTO
CONSIDERATION- AGAIN DRY CALLS
IN QUESTION SPECIFICALLY ON.
FUNDING A WHOLE BUNCH. A GOOD
MORNING OR GOOD AFTERNOON I
SHOULD SAY- I JUST HAVE BEEN FOR
SO I WANTED TO MAKE SOME
COMMENTS FOR THE CAP AND TRADE
EXPENDITURE PLAN THIS YEAR I'D
LIKE TO SEE THE LEGISLATURE.
LETS US RECLAIM SOME OF
AUTHORITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN HOW WE ADDRESS THE CURRENT
CONDITIONS CREATED BY OUR
POLICIES. WHILE WELL INTENDED
THE TIME WE MUST ADMIT THAT SOME
OF THESE PRIORITIES WE'VE
COMMITTED. TO FIVE OR TEN YEARS
AGO WHICH ELIO MENTIONED NO
LONGER IN THE BEST INTEREST OF
OUR STATES THE PP I SEATED A
REPORT- THE PRICE INCREASES HAVE
CAUSED FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. FOR
SIX OUT OF TEN CALIFORNIAN
HOUSEHOLDS. SO I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO PIVOT I
WANT TO TALK ABOUT- THOSE FUNDS
THAT ARE- ALLOCATED PER TUTTE AT
THIS POINT- IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE. HAS 25% OF OUR AUCTION
REVENUES ON PROGRAMS LIKE THE
HIGH SPEED RAIL. EVERY YEAR
WHICH WON'T IMPACT EMISSIONS
EMISSIONS FOR THIRTY TO FORTY
YEARS. TO DATE WE'VE SPENT FIVE
POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS. IN
CAP AND TRADE REVENUES TO HIGH
SPEED RAIL. THAT'S ON TOP OF
NINE BILLION DOLLARS IN PROP ONE
A. BONDS AND THREE POINT FIVE
BILLION IN FEDERAL. IN THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SADLY THAT
IS EIGHTEEN BILLION DOLLARS.
LESS THAN 50% OF THE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS.
NOW ESTIMATED NEEDED TO COMPLETE
PHASE ONE. OF THIS PROJECT THAT
WILL GET US A RAIL LINE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO TO LOS ANGELES. SO WE
NEED AS LEGISLATORS AYE AYES I
MISSED THE MEETING FOR AND
TRANSPORTATION I SIT ON THAT
COMMITTEE WHEN HIGH SPEED REAL
FOLKS WERE THERE SO BUT THIS.
THIS THIS COMMITTEE HAS ABILITY
TO POINT OUT THAT IT DID IN
DISCREPANCIES HERE. THOSE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING WASTED
HIGH SPEED RAIL WOULD. WAY
BETTER BE SPENT FOR THINGS LIKE
FORCED- A REDUCING THE
REGULATORY BURDEN ON ON- BURTON
THIS THIS STATE PLACES ON SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS TRYING COMPLY.
WITH EVER CHANGING REGULATORY
ENVIRONMENT I HOPE THAT THIS
YEAR WE WILL. WITH THAT THIS
YEAR WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT
NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO
THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS WORKS POURING INTO.
PROGRAMS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE
ANYMORE. TO PROVIDE SOME RELIEF
FOR TAXPAYERS AND ADDRESSED
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS THAT WE OUT
. WHICH LEADS TO ONE OF THE
QUESTIONS YOU BROUGHT UP. AB SIX
ONE SEVEN ACTUALLY DIRECTS MONEY
TO THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
IMPACTED THE MOST AND SO IMAGINE
IF WE WERE SPENDING 25% OF OUR
CAP AND TRADE DOLLARS. DIVERTING
IT FROM HIGH SPEED RAIL TO THOSE
COMMUNITIES SO I HAVE A
QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHO WILL
TAKE IT MAYBE CAR OR THE L. A.
LOW CALLIOPE HOW MUCH CLOSER
WOULD WE BE TO REACHING OUR
TWENTY THIRTY GOALS. IN GST
REDUCTION IF IT THE STATE BEGAN
COUNTY WILDFIRE EMISSIONS- AS A
CARBON POLLUTION. WELL I'D- LIKE
TO TURN OVER TO OUR- KARKAR
COLLEAGUE- BUT- I THINK IT'S
ALSO AN OPTION TO GET BACK IN
RETURN. RIGHT WELL I THINK WE
YOU AND TO YOUR POINT- OVERALL
JUDGE SAY THE MOST. WE HAVE BEEN
I KNOW THIS IS A PARTICULAR ARE
OF INTEREST FOR YOU ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THE AREA THAT YOU
REPRESENT. WE HAVE STARTED
COUNTING WILDFIRE EMISSIONS IN
OUR OVERALL SCOPING PLAN SO
THAT'S NOW A PART OF THAT MUCH
BIGGER BROADER STRATEGY- IN
TERMS OF THE CALCULATION WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT I THINK WE'LL NEED
TO PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND
CIRCLE BACK. SURE INDICATING
THAT A LITTLE BIT HI EVERYBODY
MATT PATEL IN THE DIVISION CHIEF
FOR THE CALIFORNIA RESOURCE FOR
OVERSEE OUR- CLIMATE CHANGE
PROGRAMS INCLUDING OUR SKEPTICAL
AND EFFORT AND- THAT TO YOUR
QUESTION SO FOR THE FIRST TIME
EVER CARVE INCLUDED A GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS FROM WILDFIRE IN
HER CLIMATE CHANGE COMING PLAN
THAT WAS APPROVED BY OUR BOARD.
IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. WHAT
THAT LOOKS LIKE IT INCLUDES
ADMISSIONS THAT HAPPEN THROUGH
THE NATURAL CYCLE FROM WILDFIRE
AS WELL AS PROJECTIONS OF HOW
BOUT FOR MISSIONS CAN CHANGE
GOING FORWARD UNDER CLIMATE
CHANGE MISTRUST KITS WORSE'S
EXTREME HEAT EVENTS GET WORSE.
AS WATER CONDITIONS CHANGE AND
ALSO INCLUDES ESTIMATES OF HOW
WE CAN REDUCE THOSE EMISSIONS
THROUGH THINGS LIKE EXPANDING
FUEL REDUCTION ACTIVITIES IN
CALIFORNIA SO WE PUT IN-
ESTIMATES OF WHAT THOSE OPTIONS
WOULD BE WHAT THE MAJORITY
ACTUALLY COULD BE FROM TAKING
MANAGEMENT ACTIONS. TOWARD
CARBON NEUTRALITY IN TWENTY
FORTY FIVE I THINK. IT IS A-
MULTI DECADAL SYSTEM THAT
MANAGEMENT ACTIONS LIKE FUELS
REDUCTION ACTIONS IN FOREST
REGROWTH TAKE DECADES TO TACKLE
SO. WE DID INCLUDE HIS INITIAL
ESTIMATES ON THE SCOPING PLAN
AND IN OUR PRODUCTIONS HEALTH
MACHINE CARPENITO WHO. TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. SO IS ALL CARBON
NEWS IS ALL CARBON CLASSIFIED AS
SAY IS CARBON SAME CARBON IT
MEANS OUR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CARBS IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN-
EMISSIONS FROM DIESEL
PARTICULATE VERSES OF FOR FOREST
FIRE. SO DIESEL PARTICULATE
MATTER IS- I'D TALK TO CRITERIA
POLLUTANT TOXIC POLLUTANTS- A CO
TWO EMITTED FROM DIESEL
COMBUSTION AND CO TWO EMITTED
FROM WILDFIRE EMISSIONS ARE NOT
TREATED THE SAME IN OUR- A
SCOPING PLAN EFFORTS AND SO.
THEY'RE THEY'RE DIFFERENT-
POLLUTANTS ONE IS- AS A HEALTH
IMPACT INCLUDING ONE AS A
CLIMATE POLLUTANT ENTERS DIESEL
PM BUT CO TWO IS CO TWO. THE YOU
I'M GLAD THAT YOU. BUT WE BOTH
AGREE ON THAT THAT TWO IS TWO SO
I JUST I WANNA MAKE THE
STATEMENT WITHIN I WANT TO. GO
TO FIVE OF THE L. A. O.'S- IN IN
THIS I THINK THE POINT IT NEEDS
TO BE DRIVEN OUT. AND I AND I'M
FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I'VE ACTUALLY
RAN LEGISLATION THAT DIDN'T GET
OUT OF THE FIRST COMMITTEE TO
ACTUALLY COUNT FORCE FIRE-
EMISSIONS. BUT THIS IS THE PART
I THINK THAT IS REALLY
FASCINATING TO ME IS THAT WE
HAVE A MISSION REDUCTIONS
RANGING FROM TEN DOLLARS. A TON
IN REDUCTION. TWO SIX HUNDRED
AND SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER TONNE. REDUCTION NOW OUR JOB
IS TO REDUCE CARBON. EVERYBODY
IN THE STATE. SO WHY WOULD WE
FOCUS MORE ON THE TEN DOLLARS.
OR EVEN THE ONES THAT ARE A
HUNDRED FIFTY TO TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER TON VERSUS A HUNDRED
AND SIXTY FOUR. THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER TON THAT'S THE QUESTION I
THINK AS LEGISLATORS AND AS THE
AGENCIES THAT ARE. SPENDING
THESE DOLLARS. A DANCER. WHY
WOULD I WHY WOULD WE SPEND A
HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER TON. WHEN WE CAN
REDUCE CARBON BY. NINE DOLLARS A
TIME. CAN SOMEBODY ASKED THAT
WHY ARE WE DOING THAT. THE NEW
VERGES FROM AIR RESOURCES BOARD
SO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION I
THINK A LOT OF THIS HINGES ON-
THE PRIORITIES YOU KNOW GIVEN
OUT A LIMITED BUDGET YEAR-
CERTAINLY HEAR YOU IN TERMS OF
COST EFFECTIVENESS THAT'S ONE
OVERLAY. AS THE TERMINATION I IN
YOUR OPENING REMARKS HE ALSO
MENTIONED THE OVERLAY OF. EQUITY
AND MOBILITY AND SO COST
EFFECTIVENESS IS CERTAINLY ONE
METRIC YOU CAN USE AS YOU MAKE
THESE HARD DECISIONS. WHEN WE
LOOK AT OUR EQUITY PROGRAMS YOU
KNOW ON ITS MERITS. THEY MAY NOT
BE PARTICULARLY COST EFFECTIVE
BUT THEY'RE HELPING US
ACCELERATE YOU KNOW GETTING
ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION TO THE
PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THE MOST THEY
ALSO REFER YOU KNOW REQUIRE A
LOT OF OUTREACH WHICH ISN'T
NECESSARILY A COST EFFECTIVE
ACTIVITY BUT IT'S HELPING US.
DELIVER PRODUCTS YOU KNOW TO
PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THE COST
EFFECTIVENESS IS CERTAINLY ONE
LENS YOU CAN USE BUT THEY'RE ALL
THESE OTHER ONES AS WELL THAT I
THINK THE GOVERNOR'S. BUDGET
TRIES TO BALANCE. SO WHAT I HEAR
YOU SAYING IS THAT. THAT THE
HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER TON IS JUSTIFIED BY.
MAYBE WHERE WE'RE SPENDING AND
WHAT AREAS. OF THE STATE. YEAH
ONE ONE THING I LIKE TO LOOK AT
WHEN I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS IS
YOU KNOW IN THE EARLY DAYS OF
SCHOOL BUS ELECTRIFICATION.
THOSE ARE PILOT DEMO PROJECTS
THAT AS CAR WE WERE FUNDING AND
SO THEY WEREN'T NECESSARILY COST
EFFECTIVE BUT THEY HELPED US GET
THIS NEW MARKET. OFF THE GROUND
AND GOING AND THEN COULD BE
BUILT INTO MORE COST EFFECTIVE
PROGRAMS LIKE THE RURAL SCHOOL
BUS PILOT PROJECT- WHICH THEN
BECAME A MORE COST EFFECTIVE
PROGRAM OVER TIME IS THAT
TECHNOLOGY IMPROVED. THE
SOMETIMES AT THE START OF THINGS
PARTICULARLY SAY THAT OUR PILOT
DEMO PROJECTS IN ON THE FACE NOT
NECESSARILY COST EFFECTIVE BUT
HOPES. THIRD GETTING US THERE
FASTER IN THE LONG RUN. WELL I
WOULD SUGGEST THAT- WE'VE BEEN
DOING THIS FOR SOMETIME NOW.
QUITE SOMETIME- YOU KNOW OUR
GOAL IS TO FROM AB THIRTY TWO
ORIGINALLY WE ACTUALLY MET SOME
OF THOSE GOALS AND WE HAVE A LOT
OF HISTORY. TO SEE WHAT WE WHERE
WE'VE BEEN. AND WE'RE STILL
SPENDING. IN THE CASE OF THE
HIGH SPEED RAIL WERE WERE
DUMPING TONS OF RESOURCES IN
THAT AT A COST PER TON- AND WE
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EVEN ACTUALLY
CAN REDUCE CARBON AT THIS POINT
I MEAN IF YOU. CALCULATED ALL
THE CONCRETE IN THE- IN THE
TRANSPORTATION I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF IT'LL EVER GET THERE. SO I
JUST WANT TO. GO ON RECORD AS
SAYING THAT. I THINK YOU KNOW
NOT ONLY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
BUT THE LEGISLATURE I KNOW THAT
YOU ONLY IMPLEMENT THE LAWS.
THAT WE PASS AND YOU HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO CHANGE SOME OF
THOSE- IN YOUR AGENCY I SUGGEST
YOU TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS
ONE AS WELL AND IT'S BEEN CHAU
IT'S BEEN. TALKED ABOUT FOR
YEARS. I WANT TO CHANGE GEARS
TO- SOMETHING THAT YOU THAT WAS
MENTIONED ALSO ABOUT. TO THE LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD THIS
QUESTION IS I DON'T BELIEVE
EITHER CARVER L. A. O. HOW DOES
THE PROGRAM INTERACT WITH OTHER
GHG PROGRAMS. AND HOW MUCH
CLOSER DOES IT GET TO MEETING
THE STATEWIDE GOALS ONE
CRITICISM OF THE CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM. IN GENERAL OVER THE
PAST FEW YEARS IS IT THERE ARE
THREE HUNDRED AND TEN MILLION.
UNUSED CREDITS. CURRENTLY IN THE
SYSTEM AS OF NOVEMBER LAST YEAR
THIS IS A CALMATTERS. POINTED
THIS OUT. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A
PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COMPANIES
HOARD CREDITS. AND ALLOWS THEM
TO POLLUTE PASSED THE STATE'S
LIMITS. IN YEAR AFTER YEAR
WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE NUMBER
OF UNUSED CREDITS. THIS IS THE
QUESTION. IN THE SYSTEM AND HOW
MANY THOSE CREDITS ARE ISSUED
UNDER THE L. L. C. LOW CARBON
FUEL STANDARD PROGRAM. THANK YOU
SENATORS SIR MAP UNTIL AGAIN
FROM THE CALIFORNIA RESOURCES
FLORIDA I WANT TO. MAKE ONE
CLARIFYING POINT HERE AND
THAT'S- THE LOW CARBON FUEL
STANDARD IT IS A- PROGRAM THAT.
IT IMPACTS TRANSPORTATION FUELS
THE CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM IS A
SEPARATE PROGRAM. ALLOWANCES
THAT ARE ESTABLISHED UNDER THE
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM. ARE
DIFFERENT FROM CREDITS THAT ARE
GENERATING LOW CARBON FUEL
STANDARD SO. I'M GONNA RESPOND
YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM IN THE ALLOWANCES
THAT THAT EXIST IN THE CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM- AS YOU. YOU
MENTIONED A NUMBER OF ENTITIES
THAT PARTICIPATE ON BY
REGULATION IN THE CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM IN BANKING ALLOWANCES
ON. THE EXPECTATION THAT THE
PROGRAM BECAUSE IT INSTEAD OF
INDIAN REGULATION GETS MORE
STRINGENT OVER TIME YOU MAY NEED
TO USE THOSE ALLOWANCES FOR
COMPLIANCE IN THE PROGRAM IN THE
FUTURE- THUS FAR THOSE
ALLOWANCES REPRESENT UP 5% OF
THE TOTAL. EMISSIONS ALLOWANCES
ISSUED UNDER THE IN THE PROGRAM
SO THERE A PORTION A SMALL
PORTION OF THE EMISSIONS
ALLOWANCES ISSUED UNDER THE
PROGRAM. AND THE ABILITY TO BANK
THOSE ALLOWANCES IS IN
REGULATION FOR COMPLIANCE
FLEXIBILITY AND TO SUPPORT- COST
EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM PERCENT AB
THIRTY TWO- HAVE. HEARD A NUMBER
OF- CRITICISMS ON THE ALLOWANCE
BANKING PROVISIONS AND THE CUTS
THE ALLOWANCE BANK THAT EXISTS.
AND SO WE HAVE COMMITTED TO
COMING BACK TO THE LEGISLATURE
LATER THIS YEAR WITH AN ANALYSIS
ON THIS QUESTION. AND WE'VE ALSO
ISSUED A MARKET NOTICE WE DID
THAT LAST MONTH- INFORMING THE
CAP AND TRADE MARKET THE
REGULATED ENTITIES THE PUBLIC
MORE BROADLY. THAT WE ARE
LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING INTO A NUMBER
OF ISSUES ON THE REGULATION SIDE
AS WELL SO THAT IS WHAT IS GONNA
BE HAPPENING THIS YEAR. IF I
COULD LET ME. I'M GONNA. GOOD A
COUPLE OF. WHO HIGH LEVEL ON
QUESTION. BACK TO YOU THIS TAX.
BECAUSE I DID WANT TO. CHECK A
PARTS OF THE AS WELL- SO JUST I
YOU WERE GETTING TO THIS WOULD
IS- THE- ELLIE REPORT THIS JAN.
FOUND THAT THE CAPTURE PROGRAM
IS NOT. POSSESS TO CALL. THE
TWENTY THIRTY EMISSIONS GAP. SO
TO STARTING AT A HIGH LEVEL
COULD YOU EXPAND THIS FINDING
AND- EXPLAIN. WHY THAT WAS. ROSS
BROWN L. A. L. A. YEAH SO I MEAN
I THINK. IN SHORTS. I THINK YOU
SOME SUMMARIZE STARVE FINDING
WELL IT'S- SIMPLY FOUND THAT THE
PROGRAM JUST ISN'T STRINGENT.
ENOUGH TO KIND OF CLOSE THAT
EMISSIONS GAP WHICH IS BASICALLY
THE- WAY YOU MIGHT SORT OF
EXPECT EMISSIONS TO BE OUT IN
TWENTY THIRTY. BASED ON ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS OR A RANGE OF OTHER
KIND OF POLICIES THAT WE MIGHT
HAVE TO REDUCE EMISSIONS SUCH AS
ALL CFS RATHER PROGRAMS. AND IF
THERE'S A- THERE'S A GAP WITHOUT
THOSE EMISSIONS ARE ABOVE WHERE
OUR TARGET IS. IN PASCO BEEN
PLANS- THE CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PROGRAM
THAT WOULD BASICALLY CLOSE THAT
GAP AND REDUCE ANY REMAINING
EMISSIONS THAT ARE NEEDED TO HIT
OUR TARGETS. AND WE FOUND BASED
ON LOOKING AT A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT- EMISSION SCENARIOS
GOING FORWARD WHICH ARE OF
COURSE SUBJECT TO UNCERTAINTY
BUT WE LOOKED AT A RANGE OF
FUTURE EMISSION SCENARIOS AND
UNDER. PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM
WE FOUND THAT IT'S NOT THE
STATE- COULD GET TO A POINT
WHERE IN TWENTY THIRTY EMISSIONS
ARE ABOVE WHERE OUR TARGETS ARE.
AND THERE ARE STILL A
SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF ALLOWANCES
THREATS- DO NOT NEED TO BE IS SO
ESSENTIALLY COVERED ENTITIES CAN
STILL COMPLY WITH THE PROGRAM
AND- WE'RE EXCEEDING OUR TWENTY
THIRTY TARGETS AND SO. THAT WAS
OUR OUR MAIN FINDING AND THAT
WAS YOU KNOW. THAT SITUATION AND
KIND OF WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES
IS YOU KNOW IT'S DRIVEN BY A LOT
OF DIFFERENT FACTORS INCLUDING.
WHERE THE CAPS HAVE BEEN SET SO
FAR AND WHERE THEY'RE SET INTO
THE FUTURE. WHERE EMISSIONS HAVE
BEEN- SO FAR AND THAT HAS
CONTRIBUTED TO. KIND OF THE BANK
OF ALLOWANCES THAT YOU MENTIONED
EARLIER AND SENATOR DOLLY
MENTIONED. EARLIER BUT ALL THOSE
DIFFERENT FACTORS SORT OF
CONTRIBUTE TO THE EXISTENCE OF
THIS EXISTING BANK AND THEN
LOOKING FORWARD UNDER DIFFERENT
EMISSIONS SCENARIOS- THE
PROGRAMMING OF FOR SIMPLY NOT
BEING STRINGENT ENOUGH TO KIND
OF CLOSE THAT GAP OUT TO TWENTY
THIRTY. I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
JUST ONE THING THAT ANALYSIS
DID. ESSENTIALLY ASSUME THAT THE
PROGRAM ENDS IN TWENTY THIRTY
AND- KIND OF YOU KNOW
CONVERSATIONS. AROUND IN THE
STRINGENCY OF THE PRO OKAY. AND
TO EXTENT TO THIS. BANK IS A
PROBLEM. DOES HINGE LEAST PARTLY
ON KIND OF. YOU KNOW THAT. LONG
TERM CON. AROUND KIND OF THE
PRO. HAS TWENTY THIRTY IS. SO I
. STOP THEIR HAPPENED AND ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT
IT YEAH. WELL THANKS I WAS THAT
THAT'S A BIG CONCERN BECAUSE
THERE ARE TWENTY THIRTY GOALS
ARE. TURNED BACK TO CARVE THEN
HOW DO YOU- HOW WE THINK ABOUT
THIS IT HAS A TREATMENT
DIFFERENCE IN. RECENT VERSIONS
OF THE SCOPING. UP PLANNING AND-
HAS CARP THINK ABOUT- GETTING
THIS GETTING CAPTURED TO WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO. BE IN TERMS OF
REDUCING EMISSIONS. THANK AND-
THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS- WHEN
WE APPROVED OF THE TWENTY.
COMING PLANS IN THIS LAST
DECEMBER- WE IDENTIFIED A
PATHWAY TO ACHIEVE CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE
WHICH IS CALLED BY FOUR BY AB
TWELVE SEVENTY NINE AS WELL AS
THE 85% EMISSION REDUCTION
TARGET IDENTIFIED IN AB TWELVE
SEVENTY NINE. AND AS PART OF
LOOKING AT THAT TWENTY FORTY
FIVE PATHWAY WE ALSO ASSESSED
HOW STEEP IT OUR MISSION
REDUCTION TRAJECTORY NEED TO BE
BETWEEN NOW. AND TWENTY FORTY
FIVE GOING TO THE- THE
INTERVIEWER OF TWENTY THIRTY TO.
ACHIEVE THAT CARBON NEUTRALITY
TARGETING AND THAT 85% REDUCTION
TARGET IN TWENTY FORTY FIVE WHAT
WE FOUND THROUGH THAT ANALYSIS
IS THAT FOR SUCCESSFUL IN
IMPLEMENTING THE ACTIONS CALL
FOR HIS GUILTY PLEA TO GET THE
CARDINALITY. WE SHOULD GET TO
ABOUT A 40% REDUCTION IN
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY
TWENTY THIRTY. THAT'S WELL BELOW
THE CURRENT STATUTORY TARGET OF
40% BY TWENTY THIRTY AND SO WHAT
WE HAVE DONE AND WE DIDN'T MEAN
TO MENTION THIS IN OUR MARKET
NOTICES. NOTICE THE MARKET THAT
WE ARE NOW GOING TO EVALUATE THE
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM THIS YEAR
AND THE CAP SAID IN THE CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM TO SEE HOW WE CAN
INCREASE AMBITION. TOWARDS THOSE
TARGETS IDENTIFIED IN THE
SCOPING PLAN SO THAT WE CAN MAKE
MORE PROGRESS ON OUR GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSION REDUCTION GOALS
AND- PUT US ON THE PATH TO
CARBON NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY
FIVE. WITH BE IN THE FORM OF A
REPORT BACK TO ALLEGE. WHAT IS
THE- MECHANISM THAT RIGHT SO- WE
DO WE HAVE COMMITTED TO REPORT
BACK TO LEGISLATURE AND
EMISSIONS ALLOWANCE- BANKING
QUESTION AND THEN WE ARE ALSO
GOING TO INITIATE A PUBLIC
PROCESS. ON THE CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM THIS YEAR BECAUSE AS YOU
KNOW ANYTIME WE- WE NEED TO
EVALUATE THINGS LIKE CAPS ON THE
PROGRAM WE NEED TO DO THAT- OF.
THROUGH A PUBLIC PROCESS I'M AT
THE AIRPORT SO WE'RE GONNA BE
DOING THAT THIS YEAR. OKAY GREAT
BECAUSE OF THE INDEPENDENT
EMISSIONS MARKET VISOR
COMMITTEE. THE OR I E. AC.
RACING SINCE THE IMPACT OF
POLICIES TO THE RECENT POLICIES
WE DID WITH. CITY JEBEL CANYON
OR THE TEN TWENTY INTRUM GOALS
ARE INVESTMENTS. PARTICIPATES
REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR ALLOWANCES
SO THIS AGAIN GETS TO. THE
QUESTIONS CARP GONNA MAKE AN
ACCOUNT FOR THIS REDUCE DEMAND
THE SUPPLY OF ALLOWANCES. YEAH
THAT'S THAT'S PART OF THE WORK
THAT WE DO AND WE EVALUATE THE
CAPS AT UNDER A PROGRAM WE LOOK
AT WHAT HAS IT WHAT IS INVOLVED
SINCE THE LAST TIME WE CITIES
CAPS LAST TIME IT WAS IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN AS PART OF. THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PREVIOUS
SCOPING PLAN. OBVIOUSLY THINGS
HAVE CHANGED WE HAVE. MADE SOME
PROGRESS ON THE FIELD MARKET ON
THE ELECTRICITY MARKET. J. A.
HAVE PASSED AND SO ALL THESE
THINGS ARE GOING TO BE. A
QUESTIONS WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT AS
WE ASSESS WHAT TO THE CAPS THE
PROGRAM YOU TO BE. HEARD IN YOUR
ALSO VALUE IN THE OFFSET
PROGRAMS WELL IS THAT CORRECT.
FORSHAW SAID IN DECEMBER OF THIS
YEAR OF LAST YEAR SORRY OF
DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. WE HELD A
WORKSHOP ON US FORCE OFFSET
PROTOCOL SOLICITING FEEDBACK ON
HOW THE PROTOCOL COULD BE.
UPDATED AND SO WE ARE. NOW
COLLECTING INFORMATION HOW WE
COULD POTENTIALLY REVISE THAT
PROTOCOL- TO SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY
PROGRAMS. AND WHAT TIME WE HEAR
ABOUT. WE THE TIME LINE FOR
HEARING A- THE- RESULTS OF THAT.
THE WORKSHOP THE METERS ARE
POSTED ONLINE THAT COMMON DOCKET
IS ONLINE AND WE'RE NOW GOING
THROUGH AN EVALUATING THIS COMES
IN TO GET YOUR NEXT UP SO I
DON'T HAVE ANYTHING DEFINITIVE
FOR YOU. AT THIS POINT- JUST A
COUPLE MORE THINGS ON THIS
DOWNTURN FACTS CENTER DOLLY. THE
CONSIGNED ALLOWANCES. WHICH
ALLOWANCES. THAT ARE SENT
AUCTION RETOOL THESE NATURAL GAS
SUPPLIERS- CAN BE SOLD FIRST
AND- THE AYE YOU MAY ALSO FOUND
THAT THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
AND WE HAD A BIG DROP IN TWENTY.
SIXTEEN BEYOND THAT ONE STEP.
BUT TO PROTECTING PROJECT
REVENUES IS TO MOVE THE PARTY
SELLS CONSIGNED ALLOWANCES. HAS
CARP TAKEN ANY ACTIONS TO
IMPLEMENT THIS RECOMMENDATION.
BUT NOT AT THIS TIME NOW. IS
UNDER CONSIDERATION- BUT IT.
WOULD HELP PUT YOU BACK TO THE
MARKET NOTICED THAT WE ISSUED IN
FEBRUARY- WE ARE GOING TO BE
CONDUCTING A NUMBER OF. STUDIES
TO LOOK AT- LEAKAGE RISK FOR
VARIOUS DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES AS
PART OF THIS WORK THAT WE HAVE
GOING FORWARD AND- THAT WILL
ALSO CONTAIN FORMER THINKING ON
POTENTIAL REGULATORY MOMENTS IN
THE FUTURE. OKAY- THAT LESS IS
CARB. SHE SAID KNOW THAT WATCH.
STATE IS INTO VERY HARD CAP AND
GO BACKWARDS LOOKING FEATURES
JOINING. TOGETHER IN A WEEK
SIXTY LOOKING AT I JOIN TOGETHER
- WITH WASHING STATE IN QUEBEC.
SO WE ARE CURRENTLY LINKED WITH
THAT OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC
AND WE HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME
ON OUR- OUR CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAMS AND THEN- WE ARE
PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND
EXPERTISE TO THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON AS THEY LOOK TO STAND
UP THEIR PROGRAM THEY RECENTLY
CONDUCTED THEIR FIRST AUCTION
AND SO- OBVIOUSLY WE LOOK
FORWARD TO. THE CONTINUED
SUCCESS OF THEIR PROGRAM AND
WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS ON. HOW TO RUN A
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM BUT THE-
BUT TACKLING THE ALLOWANCE
QUESTION THAT WE DISCUSSED AND
THE INTEGRITY OF THE CAPARROS
IMPORTANT TO THAT LINK IS THAT
CORRECT. SO THERE ARE A SERIES
OF REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED BY
THE LEGISLATURE IN SB TEN
EIGHTEEN THAT REQUIRE AN
EVALUATION ON AND ESTABLISHED A
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM PRIOR TO
ANY LINKAGE THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
AND SO THAT. THE VALUATION
OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO TAKE PLACE-
BEFORE ANY FORMAL LINKAGE WITH A
JURISDICTION LIKE WASHINGTON. I
SHOULD SAY THAT THAT INCLUDES AN
EVALUATION OF STRINGENCY OF
THEIR RESPECTIVE PROGRAMS.
EXCELLENT- OKAY SO TO KNOW ANY
UPDATES OR REVISIONS TO THOSE
CONVERSATIONS WOULD USE THEIR ON
GOING THEN WITH ONCE STATE YET
AS I AS I MENTIONED TO THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE
CURRENTLY GAUGE WITH THE
QUESTION ARE IN TECHNICAL
SUPPORT HOW DO YOU STAND UP THE
CARPENTRY PROGRAM HOW TO
IMPLEMENT ONE- THERE'S A LOT TO
DO WHEN IT COMES TO EVEN JUST
GETTING A PROGRAM OFF THE
GROUND. IS ANY TIMELINE FOR
POTENTIAL LINKAGE NO NOT THIS
TIME. OKAY WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO
REVISITING. THAT AND- TO BE A
GREAT SIGN IF WE CAN JOIN
TOGETHER. AND WITH A I THINK A
STRENGTHENED UP PROGRAM TO BACK
TO CENTER DOLLY. WELL I I'M-
TRYING TO GET EDUCATED ON THE
ALLOWANCE PART OF IT SOME THOSE
ARE GIVE FOR. TO YOU JUST
MEANING OF LIKE WHO WOULD GET
THOSE ALLOWANCES. SURE INSERT
THE STATE'S CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM COVERS ROUGHLY 85% OF
THE TOTAL EMISSIONS AND IN
CALIFORNIA- THESE ARE THE- THE
SIX HUNDRED OR SO- MAJOR
EMITTERS IN CALIFORNIA INCLUDE
FUEL PRODUCERS AND
TRANSPORTATION FOR PROVIDERS AS
WELL AS ELECTRICITY-
DISTRIBUTION UTILITIES AND-
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES IN THE
STATE SO THESE ARE THE MAJOR
SOURCES OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS IN THE STATE. WE HAVE.
ALLOWANCES THAT ARE PROVIDED AS
PART OF OUR INDUSTRIAL
ASSISTANCE AND TRANSITION
ASSISTANCE OR OR- OUR ALLOWANCE
ALLOCATION TO THOSE INDUSTRIES
FOR POST WHICH PROTECTION COST
MINIMIZATION AND SO. FOR
INSTANCE THE STATE'S ELECTORAL
UTILITIES GET ALLOWANCES FOR
FREE IN THEIR CONSIGNED AT
AUCTIONS- WE ALSO PRIDE
ALLOWANCES TO. INDUSTRY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA TO SUPPORT.
DECARBONISATION AND TO PRODUCE
POTENTIAL COSTS OF THE PROGRAM.
SIDES BE THE- ELECTRICAL
GENERATION COUNTIES CAN HEAR ME
OTHERS IS A PEOPLE WHO ARE
DEVELOPING. BATTERIES OR THOSE
TYPES OF PROGRAMS ACIDIC THE
PROGRAM COVERS EMITTERS OF
GREENHOUSE GAS EMITTERS AND SO-
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES LIKE A
FOOD PROCESSOR FOR INSTANCE OR
CEMENT PLANT FOR INSTANCE- ARE
ALSO PROCEEDING. ALLOWANCE
ALLOCATION UNDER THE PROGRAM.
THE LAST QUESTION FOR ME MISTER
CHAIR TO ON THE ON THE REPORT
THAT YOU'RE DEVELOPING IS GONNA
COME BACK FOR THE TWENTY. AT
LEAST TWENTY THIRTY OR VISIT THE
YOU MENTIONED IS DO YOU'RE DOING
THE- BASE. AND IN ALL THOSE
CALCULATIONS DO YOU DO YOU TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF
WHAT YOU THINK THE COST OF
ENERGY. AND FUEL WILL GO UP.
WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE COST TO
CONSUMERS THAT- DETERMINED IN
THE MEETING THAT THE TWENTY. BY
TWENTY TO THE TWENTY FORTY GOALS
ARE TWENTY THIRTY GOALS THAT YOU
WOULD DO YOUR ANALYSIS IS GOING
TO LOOK AT RIGHT NOW SURE- SO
ALL TRANSIT FOR THESE THINGS A
LITTLE BIT WE AS PART OF THE-
THE SCOPING PLAN PROCESS WHICH
IS THE FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT THE
STATE. THE PLAN AT THE STATE
DEVELOP EVERY FIVE YEARS AND TO
ACHIEVE ITS GREENHOUSE GAS
TARGETS AS PART OF THE TWENTY
TWENTY TO SCOPING PLAN PROCESS.
WE DID AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS ON
THE COST TO ACHIEVE CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE-
WHAT WE FOUND. THROUGH THAT
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND
MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS IF WE
TRANSITION- POWER INDUSTRIES TO.
LESS GREENHOUSE GAS INTENSIVE
ENERGY USES AND REDUCE OUR
EMISSIONS AND COMPLEMENT OUR-
REMAINING EMISSIONS WITH- THINGS
LIKE CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL THAT
IT WOULD COST ROUGHLY TWENTY TO
TWENTY TWO BILLION IN DIRECT
COSTS IN TWENTY FORTY FIVE BUT
THAT THOSE COSTS. WOULD BE
OFFSET BY THE OVER TWO HUNDRED
BILLION DOLLARS IN HEALTH
SAVINGS THAT WOULD COME FROM
REDUCED COMBUSTION EMISSIONS
PRIMARILY FROM TRANSPORTATION
AND BUILDINGS. BECAUSE WE WOULD
SEE SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN
THINGS LIKE ASTHMA AND PREMATURE
MORTALITY. BECAUSE WE'RE CUTTING
COMBUSTION OF FOSSIL FUELS
DRASTICALLY IN THE STATE SO. WE
PROVIDE THAT ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
THAT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN
THE- TECHNICAL SUPPORT
DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SCOPING
PLAN. DID THAT INCLUDE-
PROJECTED WILDFIRE IF WE HAD
WILD FIRES WE WOULD STILL HAVE
THAT POLLUTION IF WE TOOK EVERY
CAR OFF THE ROAD. YEAH SO- WE
DID A- LOOK. A HEALTH ANALYSIS
OF THE HEALTH. FROM REDUCING
WILDFIRE EMISSIONS THROUGH-
ACCELERATING THINGS LIKE FUELS
REDUCTION IN FORCE MEANT FOREST
HEALTH PROJECTS IN THE STATE. SO
WE DO HAVE THOSE NUMBERS THE
COSTS AND BENEFITS FROM
REDUCTION IN IN- THOSE.
PARTICULAR MATTER THAT RESULTS
FROM WILDFIRES ARE IN THE
SCOPING PLAN ANALYSIS. AND I
WILL SAY SIMILAR TO THE RICH THE
HEALTH BENEFITS ON THE FOSSIL
FUEL COMBUSTION REDUCTION SIDE
THERE ARE ALSO HEALTH BENEFITS
FROM THE WILDFIRE EMISSION
REDUCTIONS. THAT WE MONETIZED
THAT'S OKAY AREA WHERE I THINK
WE COULD REALLY IMPROVE THE
SCIENCE AND THE HEALTH
QUANTIFICATION AND SO CARDS
ACTUALLY WORKING AS PART OF ITS
RESEARCH EFFORTS HAVE. BETTER
HEALTH OUTCOME ANALYSES FOR
WILDFIRE COMMISSION REDUCTIONS
GOING FORWARD AND SO WE LOOK FOR
THE KIND OF IMPROVING THE
SCIENCE AND THE QUANTIFICATION
MONETIZATION OF THOSE BENEFITS
IN THE FUTURE. WHAT WE FOUND
THROUGH THE SCOPING PLAN IS
THAT. IF WE DO TAKE RELATIVELY
AGGRESSIVE ACTION TO REDUCE FUEL
LOADS IN IN IN THE STATES THAT
THE HEALTH BENEFITS PAY FOR THE
COST OF THAT ACTION. THANK YOU
FOR. BUT HUMAN. THANKS TO LESLIE
JUST FOR KOREAN IF YOU TO MAGIC
WAND TO WAVE- WHICH PROGRAMS IN
THE SCOPING PLAN WHICH
RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD YOU THINK
THE MOST. URGENT ADDITIONAL
FUNDING. BRITAIN MERIT PARMA
FINANCE THE ADMINISTRATION
SUPPORTS ALL THE THEIR VARIOUS
PROGRAMS AND ACTIONS IDENTIFIED
IDENTIFIED IN THE LATEST SCOPING
PLYMOUTH MANY OF WHICH ARE
CONTINUING TO RECEIVE FUNDING
THROUGH GIRAFFE AND OTHER FUND
SOURCES. THE ADMINISTRATION WILL
CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OPTIONS TO
SUPPORT THESE PROGRAMS MEAN FOR
CONTINUED ON THE AVAILABILITY OF
FUNDING. WHAT IS MOST
INTERESTING FUNDING.
OPPORTUNITIES WOULD YOU SAY.
THAT WHEN VIEWED FROM THE
STANDPOINT OF REDUCING. CLIMATE
MEDICATION COSTS REDUCING
EMISSIONS AT CHRISTIAN BELT.
CHRISTIAN BELCHER WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- THAT
MEASURE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO- I UNDERSTAND THAT THE
SCOPING PLAN IS VERY BROAD. AND
THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF. DIALOGUE
THAT OCCURS WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION THE LEGISLATURE
TO IDENTIFY THOSE MOVING FORWARD
SO IT'S VERY HARD TO PINPOINT
EXACTLY WHY- PROGRAMS WE WOULD
LOOK TO FIND THE FUTURE
ESPECIALLY GIVEN. THE ASSESSMENT
THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE ABOUT
WHAT PARTICULAR PROGRAMS ARE THE
MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF SPENDING
FUTURE DOLLARS REPORT. OKAY
THANKS WE LOOK FOR TO THAT
DISCUSSION THINGS MENTION
EARLIER REPORT. EARLY THIS YEAR
THAT THE LEGISLATURE REALLY
NEEDS DIRECTION ON COST
EFFECTIVENESS. BEYOND THAT
DISTRIBUTE DISTRIBUTIONAL
IMPACTS OF THE SCOPING. A PLAN
RECOMMENDATIONS SO LOOK FORWARD
TO CONTINUING THAT DISCUSSION
WITH THAT WE DO HAVE A- HOLD

ONCE AGAIN MATTHEW BOTELLO CHIEF
INDUSTRY STRATEGIES DIVISION I
WAS ASKED TO GIVE JUST A QUICK
OVERVIEW OF THE LTFS PROGRAMS
AMENITY THAT AND OPEN UP FOR
QUESTIONS- AND SO AS I
MENTIONED. WE RECENTLY ADOPTED
HER FOR TO THE TWENTY TWENTIES
COMING PLAN ANNOUNCED WITH PASCO
COMPLAINTS ONCE. THOSE COMING
PLANS ARE APPROVED. A CARBON
OTHER STATE AGENCIES BEGIN THE
PROCESS FOR REVIEWING AND
UPDATING- CURRENT REGULATIONS
AND PROGRAMS TO ALIGN WITH THE
ACTIONS CALLED FOR IN THE
SCOPING PLAN AND SO WERE WERE IN
THAT PROCESS NOW WITH THE LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD. THE LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD IS PART OF
THE STATE SET A POLICY. TO ME
CALIFORNIA'S AMBITIOUS CLIMATE
TARGETS- AND THE TWENTY TWENTY
SCUTTLE DEMONSTRATE THAT SIGNAL
. INCREASE IN LOW CARBON FOR
FUELS AND TECHNOLOGIES NEEDED ON
A FOR. TIME FRAME THAN WE'VE
HISTORICALLY SEEN. BILLS
SURFACED. BEEN AND CONTINUES TO
BE KEY PROGRAMMING CALIFORNIA
CLIMATE CHANGE PORTFOLIO THAT
INCENTIVIZE THE INVESTMENT IN
LOW CARBON FUELS AND
TECHNOLOGIES IN THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR. CARBS
MINIMUM IN THE PROGRAM SINCE TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN AND IT'S BEEN
SUCCESSFUL TOOL FOR DIVERSIFYING
OUR FUEL POOL AND REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. AS
PART OF THE- SERVICE REGULATION
CARBS ESTABLISHED IN YOU WILL

BENCHMARKS FOR TRANSPORTATION
FUELS IN CALIFORNIA. ANY
TRANSPORTATION FUEL THAT IS
ABOVE THE C. I. BENCHMARK IN A
GIVEN YEAR SUCH AS GASOLINE OR
DIESEL GENERATES DEFICITS. AND
ANY FUEL THAT IS BELOW THE C. I.
BENCHMARKS SUCH AS LOW CARBON
HYDROGEN ELECTRICITY RENEWABLE
DIESEL BIODIESEL ETHANOL OR
OTHER LOS THE EYE FEELS
GENERATES CREDITS. EACH YEAR THE
C. I. BENCHMARK DECLINES WHICH
CREATES IT INCREASING INCENTIVE
TO REDUCE THE CARBON INTENSITY
OF THE EXISTING TRANSPORTATION

BRINGING. ADDITIONAL VOLUMES OF
LOS THE EYE FUELS IN THE
CALIFORNIA TO GENERATE CREDITS
UNDER THE PROGRAM. FUEL
SUPPLIERS MISMATCH THEIR
DEFICITS WITH CREDITS EACH YEAR
AND SO IN THIS WAY SUPPLIERS OF
CARBON INTENSIVE FUELS THAT ARE
ABOVE THE ANNUAL BENCHMARK OR
PURCHASING CREDITS FROM LOW
CARBON FUEL PRODUCERS. THIS IN
TURN CREATES AN ONGOING REVENUE
STREAM FOR THE FLOOR COVERING
FUEL PRODUCERS TO CONTINUE
OPERATION. THIS REVENUE STREAM
CAN COUNTERACT THE HIGHER COST
OF PRODUCING LOW CARBON FUELS
AND CAN ALSO BE USED TO SECURE
FINANCING OR INVESTMENT IN NEW
LOW CARBON FUEL PRODUCTION
FACILITIES. PARTICULARLY WHEN
IT'S COUPLED WITH UP FRONT
GRANTS TAX CREDITS OR OTHER
INCENTIVES. IN RESPONSE TO THE
CURRENCY I BENCHMARK SET ME OFF
COS REGULATION WHICH INCLUDE A
REQUIREMENT THE CALIFORNIA
REDUCE THE CARBON INTENSITY OF
OUR TRANSPORTATION FUELS BY 20%
BY TWENTY THIRTY. WE'VE SEEN
INCREASING VOLUMES OF RENEWABLE
DIESEL RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS
LUCY I LIKE TRICITY ANOTHER LUCY
I FEEL SECURE IN CALIFORNIA.
OVERALL IN JUST THE LAST TEN
YEARS WE'VE DOUBLED THE VOLUME
OF LOW CARBON FUEL CONSUMPTION
IN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS GOOD NEWS
AND MEANS THE PROGRAM IS WORKING
AS INTENDED BY REDUCING THE
CARBON INTENSITY OF OUR FEELS.
AND IN FACT IN A RECENT GHG
INVENTORY. WE SHOWED THAT JUST
FROM LIQUID BIOFUELS ALONE MY
PRINTABLE DIESEL BIODIESEL
ETHANOL. WERE WE ABLE TO REDUCE
OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN
THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR BY
FIFTEEN MILLION METRIC TONS IN
ONE YEAR. SOME TWENTY TWENTY. SO
GIVEN THE SUCCESS OF THE
PROGRAM. WE SEE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO LEVERAGE THIS PROGRAM TO
ACCELERATE CALIFORNIA'S
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
REDUCTION EFFORTS SINCE OVER THE
PAST TWO YEARS. CARD STAFF OF
ENGAGING WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND
POTENTIAL UPDATES TO THE L. C.
FAST ALIGNED WITH A BROADER
STICKLES IN THE RECENTLY PRISCO
COMPLAINED. THE GOVERNOR ALSO
RECOGNIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND
SO IN JULY LAST YEAR IN A LETTER
TO CARD SURELY IN RANDOLPH- THE
GOVERNOR ASKED THE COURT
CONSIDER INCREASING THE
STRINGENCY THE L. CFS. WE'RE
CURRENTLY EVALUATING OPTIONS TO
ACCELERATE THE C. I. REDUCTIONS
CALLED FOR BY THE PROGRAM. AND
PLAN TO RELEASE A REGULATORY
MINUTE PACKAGE LATER THIS YEAR.
WE HAVE RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT
INPUT ON HOW WE CAN ALIGN A
PROGRAM TO BROADER GOALS AND
CONTINUE INVESTMENT IN THE
SECTOR. AND THEN PUT IT COME
THROUGH WORKSHOPS WRITTEN
FEEDBACK DIRECT STAKEHOLDER
ENGAGEMENT THEY WERE CONSIDERING
THEIR SUGGESTIONS AS WELL. THIS
IS A PARTICULAR IMPORTANT TIME
TO AMEND THE REGULATION GIVEN
THE ADOPTION OF THIS COMING
PLAN. THE CLIMATE LEGISLATION
PACKAGE THAT WAS PASSED JUST
LAST YEAR. INTO THE OPPORTUNITY
TO LEVERAGE FEDERAL DOLLARS MADE
AVAILABLE TO RECENT BIPARTISAN
INFRASTRUCTURE LAW INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT- COMMITTEE CLOSE
BY SAYING THE SUCCESS OF THE
ELSIE FEST IS TIED TO SUCCESSFUL
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE L. SERVICE
PROVISIONS- PARTICULARLY FUEL
PATHWAY CERTIFICATION IN ANNUAL
VERIFICATION. AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER THE PROGRAM IS
ATTRACTING MORE INVESTMENT AND
MORE MARKET PARTICIPATION WHICH
IN TURN REQUIRES MORE RESOURCES
TO IMPLEMENT. SO AS A QUICK
SNAPSHOT THE- CURRENT CAR FUEL
PATHWAYS STAFF OF CERTIFIED OVER
THIRTEEN HUNDRED FUEL PATHWAY
SINCE TWENTY NINETEEN. AND THIS
GROWING INTEREST IN THE LC
FASTEN THE WORKLOAD TO PROCESS
YOUR APPLICATIONS IN THE- IN THE
PROGRAM IS MEANT. LONGER TIME TO
BE ABLE TO PREVIOUS. AS BRENDA
MENTIONED HOST OF OUR FINEST
MENTIONED WERE REQUESTING.
MODESTLY TO INCREASE THE STAFF
IN THE L. C. FAST BY ADDING A
STEP STAFFER POLLUTION SPECIAL
SOME TO. RESOURCE TECHNICIANS
AND SO. WE HAVE AN ANSWER
QUESTIONS ON IN THE PCP OR
THEY'LL SAVE US. THANKS FOR THE
TIME. GREAT THANK YOU AND I KNOW
THAT. YEAH THE SERVICES. STAFF
TO DO MORE- FOR SCRIPT LOSE
YOU'LL PAY. WOULD THAT MEAN. YES
SIR- IF- PRODUCER OF LET'S SAY-
RENEW WILL NATURALLY. BUT WANTS
TO BE ABLE TO SELL IN LOW
CARBON. TO THEY HAVE APPLY FOR
A- WITH THE FUEL PATHWAY
APPLICATION TO CARP STAFF. OR
ENGINEERING AND SCIENTIFIC STAFF
THEN WORK TO UNDERSTAND EVERY
ASPECT OF THE ENERGY INPUTS AND
THE FUEL OUTPUTS FROM THAT FUEL
PATHWAY FROM AN INDIVIDUAL
FACILITY NOT ALL FUEL PATHWAYS
ARE CREATED EQUAL IF YOU'RE-
CREATING DAIRY BIOMETHANE. AND
YOU'RE INJECTING IT INTO A
COMMON CARRIER PIPELINE YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE ENERGY ASSOCIATED
WITH. PROCESSING THAT TERRY
BIOMETHANE WITH COMPRESSING IT
WITH INJECTING IT INTO A
PIPELINE WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND
ALL OF THOSE ENERGY INPUTS. AND
BE TO BE ABLE TO SIGN A CARBON
INTENSITY VALUE TO THAT SPECIFIC
FUEL PRODUCTION PATHWAY AND SO
OUR STAFF- WITH THE FUEL
PRODUCERS GO IN. EXCRUCIATING
DETAIL WHAT THE ENERGY INPUTS
ARE FREE TO THESE FEEL PATHWAY
SO WE CAN ASSIGN IT AN
APPROPRIATE CARBON INTENSITY
SCORE AND THEN WE ALSO RELY ON
THIRD PARTY VERIFIERS TO AUDIT
THOSE VALUES AND ENSURE THAT.
THEY ARE ACCURATE- SO WHEN I SAY
FUEL PATHWAYS IN THE THIRTEEN
HUNDRED FUEL PATHWAYS AND
IMAGINED IN MY EARLIER REMARKS.
ON THOSE ARE ALL UNIQUE FUEL
PRODUCTION PATHWAYS TO COME INTO
THE- DEPARTMENT FUEL STANDARD
FOR CREDIT GENERATION OF THE
STAFF HAD TO REVIEW. HIM FROM
THE SENATE LEO. I THANK YOU
CREDIT WITH THE A. OKAY. A WEEK
WE DIDN'T. ANY PARTICULAR CA.
ABOUT THE VISIT PER. BUT WE- A
WITH THE STAFF COM. THE THIS
THIS IS YOU KNOW AS AS WE HER-
CARD. IS THEIR- AND THIS PROGRAM
HAS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN
THE STATE'S CLIMATE POLICIES SO.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE CONTINUE TO MONITOR
AND- AND PAY CLIP PLATE PAY
CLOSE ATTENTION TO. WHAT WHAT
CARB UNVEILS IN TERMS OF CHANGES
TO THE REGULATION THIS YEAR.
OKAY GREAT WEALTH YEAH I KNOW
MANY HILL THIS IS A SUCCESSFUL
MARKET BASED SOLUTION AT AND A
MODEL. I THINK AS YOU.
REFERENCED- THE U. LOSES
COMPLAINING K. CARB IS
CONSIDERED CHANGES TO. THE
PROGRAM TO CHIEF LARGER
REDUCTIONS AND CONTINUED
REDUCTIONS TOWARDS TWENTY FORTY
FIVE. A NET ZERO- Q. LIBERATE ON
WHAT IS A CONSIDERATION AND YOU
INTEND TO MAKE THE PROGRAM MORE
. STRINGENT BUT REQUIRE A
REDUCTION IN CARBON INTENSITY OF
MORE THAN 20% FOR EXAMPLE BY
TWENTY THIRTY. YEP SO AS PART OF
THE PUBLIC PROCESS THAT WE'VE
EMBARKED UPON FOR LOOKING AT
UPDATES TO THE LOW CARBON FUEL
STANDARD WE HAVE WORKSHOPS A
NUMBER OF OPTIONS FOR INCREASING
THE STRINGENCY OF THE PROGRAM.
AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE WOULD
BE A POTENTIALLY ADJUSTING TO
TWENTY THIRTY SEE I'VE
PRODUCTION TARGETS IN APARTMENTS
CURRENTLY SET AT A 20% REDUCTION
FOR FEELS IN CALIFORNIA. AND
WE'VE- HAD DISCUSSIONS RELEASED
IDEAS ABOUT ADJUSTING AFTER 25%
30% 35% CARBON INTENSITY
REDUCTIONS BY TWENTY THIRTY. AND
THEN WE'VE ALSO INDICATED THAT
WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT A SEAT
SETTING CI TARGETS PAST TWENTY
THIRTY TO SUPPORT OUR TWENTY
FORTY FIVE CARBON NEUTRALITY
TARGETS. IN STATUTE THAT WE HAVE
HERE SO BOTH OF THOSE THINGS
SEVEN OF AND YOU KNOW PART OF
OUR PUBLIC WORKSHOP FOR A FEW
MONTHS NOW AND WE'RE SOLICITING
FEEDBACK ON WHAT IS THE RIGHT
STRINGENCY LEVEL FOR THE PROGRAM
. FOR TWENTY THIRTY AND POST
TWENTY. THE AND WHAT IS A PER TO
STEP BEYOND THIRTY. SO WE WOULD
INITIATE A- PROCESS OF REMAKING
. AND IT WOULD FALL HER YOU KNOW
THE STATE PAPER FOR MY- GREAT.
BECAUSE YOU WAYS TO INCLUDE
OTHER TRANSPORTATION FUELS
AVIATION- TRAINS RING FUELS. YES
SIR CURRENTLY IN THE LOW CARBON
FUEL STANDARD- INTRASTATE-
LOCOMOTIVES AND LOCOMOTIVE FUELS
AND OF COURSE HARPER CRAFT FUELS
THAT ARE SOLD BELOW THE RACK ARE
CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE
PROGRAM- AND WE'VE ALSO NOW.
THAT I SHOULD SAY WE CURRENTLY
ALLOW FOR AVIATION THAT IS
INTERESTING AVIATION TO BE
ADOPTING CREDIT GENERATORS THAT
MEANS THAT THEY DON'T PAY FOR
ANY DEFICITS GENERATED ON THE
FUEL TO COMBUST- ON THE AVIATION
SIDE. AS PART OF THE WORKSHOPS
WE HAVE- PUT OUT THE IDEA THAT
WE WOULD CONSIDER INCLUDING
INTRA STATE AVIATION SO THOSE
ARE FLIGHTS HERE IN CALIFORNIA
ONLY AND THE FUEL IS COMBUSTED
IN THOSE FLIGHTS AS PART OF A-
DEFICIT GENERATING OR- FOR THE
PROGRAM SO- THIS IS NOT
CURRENTLY PART OF THE REGULATION
WE'VE- INTRODUCED THE IDEA OF
POTENTIAL INCLUDING. THEM IN
WORKSHOPS OR SOLICITING FEEDBACK
ON. OKAY THE MUSIC LCF THE- THAT
YOU ARE GOING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
FULL IMAGE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT.
YEAH SO IT. IS FAR AS THE DEER
SIDE- AND I AND ALL OF THE BACK
TO MY ROOM EARLIER HOW WE CAN
THE CORE INTENSE OF AN
AFFIRMATIVE. FUEL WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT IS. WHAT IS IT TAKE
TO. A CARBON FUEL INTO THE FUEL
MARKET HERE IN CALIFORNIA
DAIRIES IN CALIFORNIA EXIST FOR
THE PURPOSES OF PRODUCING MILK
MILK PRODUCTS- THEY PRODUCE
MANURE IS A BY PRODUCT OF THEIR
MILK PRODUCTION. AND SO THAT A
NEW OR WHEN IT'S PUT IN THE
LAGOON FOR INSTANCE- GENERATES
METHANE- AND SO WHAT WE'VE BEEN
LOOKING AT AS PART OF OUR-
PROGRAM IS HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE
THAT WE CAN MEET OUR STATUTORY
TARGETS TO REDUCE METHANE
EMISSIONS METHODS OF REALLY
POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS WE WANNA
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REDUCING IT
WHEREVER WE CAN. AND HOW DO WE
UTILIZE THAT METHANE FOR
POTENTIALLY DISPLACING FOSSIL
FUELS THAT ARE USED IN OUR IN
OUR CURRENT FOSSIL FUEL
INFRASTRUCTURE. SO INTO THE L.
CFS WHEN THAT METHANE IS
RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE
IT'S CONSIDERED AN EMISSIONS IF
IT'S CAPTURED AT THE DAIRY- YES-
PURIFIED TO PIPELINE STANDARDS
AND INJECTED INTO A PIPELINE AND
USING TRANSPORTATION FUEL. IT
CAN BE USED TO DISPLACE FOSSIL
CNG AND SO OUR ANALYSIS ARE
CARBON INTENSITY ANALYSIS
ASSUMES THAT. BUT FOR THE AUSSIE
FAST THAT METHANE WOULD WOULD
EXIST BECAUSE OF THE MILK DEMAND
MILK PRODUCTION IT IS HAPPENING
AT THE DERRY SO WE LOOK AT. THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM I THINK
GOING TO THE ATMOSPHERE FROM A
LAGOON- FROM CAPTURING THAT
NOTHING IN IN USING IT. AND IT
FEELS. CURRENT WHO TO TURN FROM
MOMENT TO. A CARBON REMOVED IS
YOU KNOW. THE CAR CAPTURE AND
SHE WISHED. THAT'S BECAUSE PART
OF. 85% DIRECTED ME WERE. CARBON
ROOM- CARP HAS SET FOR- IN THIS
PLAN FOR A 15% OF EMISSIONS- BY
TWENTY FORTY FIVE- SHOULD HAVE A
FEW QUESTIONS ON THAT- SO AGAIN.
WITH LARGER AMOUNTS COME OF OUR
CALL FOR BOTH IN THE SHORT TERM
TWENTY THIRTY AND- BY TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. CORPUS SAID THAT L.
CFS ALREADY PROVIDES INCENTIVES.
FOR PEOPLE TO PURCHASE CARBON
REMOVAL- IT IS CURRENTLY LIMITED
TO. DIRECT. AIR CAPTURE TYPES OF
COVER REMOVAL. SO NOT- WE- WHEN
WE LAST OF THE ALSO FESTERING.
AND SEVENTEEN TWENTY EIGHTEEN-
WE ALSO ADOPTED A CARBON CAPTURE
AND STORAGE PROTOCOL- AS PART OF
OUR BROADER REGULATORY MOMENT
PACKAGE BACK IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
AND THAT PROTOCOL ALLOWS FOR PAN
THE REGULATORY BILLS RESPIRATORY
MINUTES ALLOW FOR- DIRECT AIR
CAPTURE PROJECTS- THAT CAPTURE
CO TWO FROM THE ATMOSPHERE AS
WELL AS BUT CO TWO CAPTURE
PROJECTS FROM FUEL PRODUCTION SO
FOR INSTANCE AT A BIOFUEL
PRODUCTION FACILITY- AND CO TWO
CAPTURE FROM. ENERGY USING CRUDE
PRODUCTION TO ALL BE CREDITED
UNDER THE L. CFS AND SO IN ORDER
TO BE CREDITED OR THEY'LL CFS
THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT
RIGOROUS- PERMIT. I'M SORRY THAT
PROTOCOL APPROVAL PROCESS THAT
ENDS IN AS OF TODAY WE HAVE NOT
HAD A PROJECT COME THROUGH THAT
THE PROTOCOL PROCESS TO GET
CREDIT UNDER THE L. SUPPOSITORY
MORE THAN JUST ACT PROJECTS THAT
CAN BE CREDITED TO HIM UNDER THE
US IF. IT IS EXPENSIVE TO
CAPTURE SEPARATE RIGHT THAT'S
CONSIDERED THAT'S CARBON CAPTURE
THAT'S CONSIDERED A DIRECT
EMISSIONS. REDUCTIONS FOR. IT
WAS A REALLY CORPORATE THROUGH
ONLY DRUG CAPS. CURRENTLY OKAY-
IN. AND THE HOW MISTER CAP HAS
BEEN. SO FAR HE SAID IS THAT IT
HAVE NOT HAD A DRY AIR CAPTURE
PROJECT- CREDIT UNDER THE ELSE
IF TODAY- I WILL NOTE THAT.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF INTEREST-
FROM DIRECTOR CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY
PROVIDERS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPERS
TO BE CREDITED INTO THE L. CFS-
AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY
HAPPENED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS WITH. THE RENEWED FEDERAL
TAX CREDITS ON- TO SUPPORT
CARBON STORAGE PROJECTS- AS WELL
AS THE DEAL WE MONEY THAT
THEY'VE MADE AVAILABLE FOR
DIRECTOR CAPTURE HUBS- THAT HAS
MEANT THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT SPACE IN
THIS AREA WHERE ELSE THE OFFENCE
COMES IN. IT'S ON THE COMMON
KIND OF SERVICE LIKE ON THE BACK
IN SO TO SPEAK WHERE ONCE YOU'RE
INJECTING OR STORING THAT CO TWO
AND YOU'VE PASSED YOUR
PERMANENCE THRESHOLDS REQUIRED
BY THE PROTOCOL. THEN YOU CAN
START GENERATING CREDIT SO JUST
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
IN THE L. C. FIRST DOESN'T MEAN
THOSE PRODUCTS ARE HAPPENING
WHAT IT MEANS IS WE JUST HAVEN'T
GOT TO THE POINT WHERE. A
PROJECT IS INJECTING AND IS ABLE
TO PASS THE PERMANENCE
ACCREDITING REQUIREMENTS WHICH
IS VERY FAR DOWN. THE PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION
TIMELINE. BUT THE CARD IS PLAN
IN THE SCOPING CULTURES. MIL
TONS OF CARBON REMOVED. IN
TWENTY THIRTY AND SEVENTY FIVE.
MILLION METRIC TONS OF. CARBON
REMOVAL IN TWENTY FORTY FIVE
CORRECT YES. YOU ARE THERE ANY
SIX THIRTY LC-MS. NOT TRY THE
ANY THAT BIGGEST PLEASED TODAY
WITH THIS CARBON ANY OTHER PLANS
RIGHT NOW BESIDES L. CFS FOR
DRIVING CARBON REMOVAL CANNOT
CARBON CAPTURE CARBON REMOVAL.
YES SIR EIGHT EIGHT I DO WANT TO
KIND OF AMEND THAT STATEMENT A
LITTLE BIT. AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER. WE HAVE SEEN
SIGNIFICANT INTEREST IN DIRECTOR
CAPTURING COVERED EXIT RULE
TECHNOLOGY. PROVIDERS FOR THIS
DEPLOYMENT OF THIS TECHNOLOGY-
AND THEY HAVE SIGNALED THAT IT'S
THE COMBINATION OF ELSIE FEST
CREDITS THE COMBINATION FORTY
FIVE Q. MONEY ON THE FEDERAL
LEVEL. AS WELL AS OTHER.
INVESTMENTS LIKE THE DEAL YOU
MONEY THAT IS GETTING THEM TO
ENTER INTO THIS SPACE AND SO NOT
JUST YOU KNOW IT'S NOT YOU KNOW
THAT THAT THE OFFICES AND
DRIVING INVESTMENT WE ACTUALLY
THINK THAT IT IS AND WE'VE HEARD
CLEARLY FROM FROM FOLKS THAT.
THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT THEY ARE RELYING ON TO
POTENTIALLY FINANCE AND START TO
BUILD THEIR PROJECTS. WHAT WE'VE
ALSO HEARD. SOMEONE ANECDOTALLY
IS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF
INTEREST IN. IDENTIFYING
APPROPRIATE APPROPRIATE PROJECT
LOCATIONS TO DEPLOY DIRECTOR
CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES AND THAT
MANY OF THOSE SITES THAT FOLKS
ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW OUR
OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE- QUITE
FRANKLY THEY TOLD US IT'S EASIER
TO BUILD THOSE PRODUCTS OUTSIDE
OF. OUTSIDE OF THE STATE- DID
YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE
GEOLOGY HERE WE HAVE THE
RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY BUT THERE
ARE CHALLENGES IN GETTING A
PERMIT APPROVAL FOR THOSE YOU
KNOW PROJECTS IN TERMS OF BEING
ABLE TO. TO EITHER INJECTED OR
GROUND OR LAND USE APPROVAL AND
WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY CAN TIE INTO THE
ELECTRICITY GRID FOR ELECTRICITY
BECAUSE SOME OF THESE REQUIRE
AFFIRMATIVE ELECTRICITY SO.
WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF INTEREST
WE'VE ALSO HEARD THAT YOU KNOW
BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE
ACCOUNTING ENVIRONMENT TO BE
ABLE TO BUILD THESE PROJECTS IN
CALIFORNIA THAT. THAT THEY'RE
ALSO LOOKING AT OTHER STATES.
YEAH OKAY. WHAT DOES IT WITH A
LOT. OF WORK TO DO THEMSELVES IF
THERE'S INTEREST- DIRECTOR
CAPTURE ROBS YOU NOTHING. I
THINK TO SOME CLOSE THE
PERMANENT YET AND THEN. YOU
MENTIONED- THE PERMITTING
OBSTACLES. OTHERS AS WELL- IT
FOLLOWS ONE TWO DIRECTOR. WITH
COURAGE. IS ELIGE. AS YOU
MENTIONED. IT TO JIM LCF. THAT'S
FOR PROJECTS WORKER. IN THE WAR
. THE END LAST YEAR OF FIVE. THE
AND THE USE OF CO. UNDER F. AND
HE WERE- OTHER STATES CAN. DO
TO. CAP WITH AN ANSWER. COVERAGE
AND GET LC CREDIT SO. HAS CARP
CAN. DISALLOW THESE- DIRECTOR K.
WITH. STORE INTO OVER. FROM LC
APPS. TO THE CREDIT. PLAY FIELD
FOR. PROJECTS WE DON'T
CALIFORNIA PROJECTS TO BE
DISADVANTAGED. YEAH YES SO AS
YOU- WITH THE OF S. NINE OH FIVE
LAST YEAR- THERE'S NO
PROHIBITION ON CCS WITH THE- ARE
HERE IN CALIFORNIA- AND SO WE'RE
NOT GOING TO SEE ANY ELSIE FEST
PROJECTS TO WHICH IF YOU ARE. IN
CALIFORNIA- AND WE'VE HEARD
SIMILAR- QUICK CONCERNS ABOUT
POTENTIAL OUT OF STATE
CALIFORNIA PROJECTS CONTINUING
TO PURSUE THE O. R. AND GET
CREDIT UNDER THE L. CFS DURING
OUR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS
AND SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO TAKE
PUBLIC COMMENTS IN THIS ASPECT
AND- IF. WE WERE TO DO ANYTHING
HERE WOULD REQUIRE REGULATORY
AMENDMENT TO OUR LOW CARBON FUEL
STANDARD AND SO THAT REGULATORY
AMENDMENT PACKAGE HAS NOT BEEN
RELEASED YET LIKE I SAID EARLIER
IT WOULD COME OUT. LATER THIS
SUMMER OKAY LOOK FOR TO SEE THAT
THE LAST QUESTION- AS YOU KNOW
WE PLEASE MILLION TEN TONS OF
ORGANIC WASTE FROM FARMS AND
FORESTS. EACH YEAR AND THIS
WASTE IS OFTEN BURNED AND FEELS
LEFT TO DECOMPOSE RELEASING
GREENHOUSE GASES AND OTHER.
HARMFUL CRITERIA POLLUTANT
EMISSIONS DISCOVERED PLAN
IDENTIFIES THE NEED TO COLLECT
THIS WASTE AND CONVERT IT. INTO
CARBON NEGATIVE FUELS LIKE
HYDROGEN. WE'VE HEARD THAT
DEVELOPERS ARE HESITANT TO
PURSUE THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE
OF. UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW
CARMEL CREDITEASE PROJECT UNDER
L. CFS. TO IS CARP CONSIDERED
OPTIONS TO ADDRESS. THESE
CONCERNS YEP. HAVE IT IS THE
DISCUSSION SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR
ABOUT ONE THING HAVE IN
PARTICULAR AND THAT- PROJECTS
THAT GENERATE FUEL FROM WOODY
BIOMASS LIKE FORRESTER
AGRICULTURAL WASTE. ARE
ABSOLUTELY ELIGIBLE FOR THE L.
CFS AND THAT WE'VE BEEN
ENCOURAGING FUEL PRODUCERS TO
BRING THESE PRODUCTS FOR
CREDITING. TO US UNDER THE L.
CFS. AND AS YOU MENTIONED. THIS
COMPLAINT WE JUST OF BY THE- I
DID A CLUE ROLE AND OFFER. FOR
NOW COMBUSTION CONVERSION OF
WHAT HE BY. TO SUPPORT
INCREASING ANYONE AT GAS OR- PER
WE NEED THOSE REAL FUEL TO
DISPLAY FOSSIL. METER HYDROGEN.
TO HELP ON. INDUSTRIAL
DECARBONISATION- AND YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU PAIR IT WITH CCS YOU
CAN GET CARBON NEGATIVE HYDROGEN
A RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS AS WELL
THAT THAT YOU KNOW WOULD REALLY
HELP US. SO YOU KNOW NO GO BACK
TO WHAT I SAID EARLIER THE LC OF
US IT PROVIDES CREDITS FOR THE
PRODUCTION OF LOW CARBON FUELS
AND THAT'S BAKED INTO THE
READING THAT'S YOU KNOW. THE KEY
TO THE PROGRAM. AND THUS FAR WE
HAVEN'T SEEN A FORCED BIOFUELS
PROGRAM SUCCEEDED IN PRODUCING
IN DELIVERING LOW CARBON FUELS
TO CALIFORNIA- WE'VE HEARD AND
WE TALKED A NUMBER OF PRODUCT
DEVELOPERS. THAT THEY FACE
SIMILAR PERMITTING HURDLES ALSO
STRUGGLE WITH THINGS LIKE
FEEDSTOCK AVAILABILITY-
TECHNOLOGY SCALING BUILDING THIS
TECHNOLOGY AT SCALE IS AN
ENGINEERING CHALLENGE. AS WELL
AS COST ISSUES WITH THESE
FACILITIES. AND SO THESE AREN'T
SPECIFIC L. CFS ISSUES THESE ARE
BROADER ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH
BRINGING THESE FACILITIES
ONLINE- I KNOW THAT THERE'S A
MEMBER STATE PROGRAMS TRYING TO
TACKLE SOME OF THESE HURDLES
BUT- I DON'T WANT. THIS TO BE
VIEWED AS AN ELSIE FEST PROBLEM
PROBLEM ALONE AND I WANNA MAKE
SURE IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN
ENCOURAGING FOLKS TO BRING TO
US. CINNABAR THANK YOU SO MUCH
RICHER IN IN YOU TO SIT SOME OF
THE HURDLES I THINK THAT. THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES THE START UP
COSTS RIGHT. THE THE PERMITTING
. CAN BE REAL. PAIN IN THE
BACKSIDE JUST BEING HONEST ABOUT
IT NEW HAVE. ELOQUENTLY S. C.
THAT IT I HAVE NO- BUT I THINK
THE OTHER PIECES TRANSFER. COSTS
RIGHT BEING ABLE TO GET A OUT OF
THE- TO WEAR. THE- THE NEAR
PROJECT WHICH NINETY. AT THIS
POINT. IN IN A WE'RE SERIOUS
ABOUT. THIS IS. BE LOW. WHERE
THE SOURCE MATERIAL IS. RIGHT
AND THAT MEANS OF WORKING WITH
RURAL COMMUNITIES HERE TO GET
THAT DONE- NO. THAT IS A WHOLE
NOTHER ISSUE OF BIOMASS AND
THAT'S JUST BEEN A CHALLENGE.
ALREADY WITH ENSURING FEEDSTOCK
. WHAT A GUARANTEED PRICE FOR
WHAT THAT ENERGY. MAY BE ON THE
MEGAWATT SITE. AND THEN ON THIS.
IT'S JUST SUCH A NEW TECHNOLOGY
I THINK IT'S- LONG TERM IT'S
GONNA BE CHALLENGE BUT- UNLESS
THE STATE INCENTIVIZES IT. I
JUST DON'T KNOW FOR GOING TO SEE
IT. MOVES THOUGHTS ON IT. YES
SIR A YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT IT'S-
LAST YEAR THERE IS ALSO A PUSH
TO APPROPRIATE FUNDING AND I
THINK THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED
ABOUT FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS THE
DEPARTMENT CONSERVATION TO
SUPPORT- FOREST BIOMASS TO FUELS
PROJECTS- YOU KNOW SIMILAR
PROGRAMS LIKE THIS THAT ARE
ACTUALLY HELPING TO KIND OF.
ADDRESS THOSE UP FRONT COSTS AND
ASSISI'S ALSO LOOKED AT THIS AS
WELL HOW CAN THEY GET THAT
CAPITAL FUNDING. WE'VE BEEN BUT
IT'S CAPITAL FUNDING PLUS I MEAN
IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BY MY
SIDE. IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING A
GUARANTEED COST ON WHAT THAT
MAKE WHAT'S GOING TO BE THEN
THERE IS NO REASON TO BE ABLE TO
GET INTO THE BASICS RIGHT
BECAUSE IT'S INCREDIBLY
EXPENSIVE OF THE TRANSPORTATION
PLUS SOME LABOR TO GET IT IN
THERE. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
BIGGER CHALLENGES THAT WERE SEEN
IN THE OPERATING COSTS OF THESE
FACILITIES. THE NEED TO BE
RECESSED. ON THAT SIDE AND- AND-
LEAVE THE ELECTRICITY COMMENTS
TO MY COLLEAGUES AT THE PC AND
THE AND THE CC BUT LEASE ON THE
FUEL SIDE- THIS IS ONE AREA
WHERE WE SET THE ALSO AFFECTS
CAN HELP YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE ABLE
TO PRODUCE THOSE. THOSE BIOFUELS
OR THAT- YOU KNOW HYDROGEN FROM
WOODY BIOMASS YOU CAN GENERATE
OF CFS CREDITS TO HELP ON A
CONTINUING OPERATIONAL COSTS. OF
THAT FACILITY. BUT WHAT NEEDS TO
HAPPEN IS THAT THOSE FACILITIES
NEED TO. TO BE ABLE TO START
PRODUCING FUEL SO THAT WE CAN.
DO THAT DETAIL THE CARBON
INTENSITY EVALUATION PROVIDES-
TAKE THE CREDIT FOR THOSE
FACILITIES AND- SO WE'VE BEEN
WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH SOME
OF THE DEVELOPERS TO TRY AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN. YOU KNOW
GET THEIR FUEL PATHWAYS. INTO
THE PROGRAM WE CAN START THE
ENGINE EVALUATION SO THAT WHEN
THEY GET TO THAT FUEL PRODUCTION
STAGE THE. READY TO GO ON CREDIT
GENERATION. IF DOLLY. BUT IT'S-
THANK YOU THE YOU FOR THIS. THIS
IS A PARTY PRESENTATION I
WANTED. AND A LOT OF THE- THAT
YOU'RE TALK ABOUT- FAR AS- WE
BY- MASS AND- YOU KNOW I'M- YOU
TOUCH. ON THE- PART OF IT
BECAUSE WE SEE THESE. IT
HORRIFIC OR- OF. FIRE ALL THE
DECOMPOSING WERE OTHERS CREATING
. WHICH A IS A TOXIN AS WELL SO
I WANTED. IT IN AND THE THINGS
THAT YOU CAL. WITH ARE OUT OF
YOUR JURISDICTION QUITE FRANKLY
WHEN IT COMES TO- SUPPLY. WELL
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON BIOMASS FOR
MY WHOLE CAREER NINE NINE. IT'S
HARD. IT'S NOT EASY TO DO AND TO
CONVERT IT TO FUELS IS EVEN
HAVING THE CAT LISTED. THOSE
FISHER TROPES AND ALL THESE
OTHER THINGS WE REALLY HAVEN'T
GOT THERE YET BUT ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE. IS THE
SUPPLY. IN OUR BIGGEST DOES
SUPPLY THAT'S OUT THERE IS THE
FEDERAL FOR SERVICE LANDS THAT
ARE. DESPERATELY NEEDING.
NEEDING TREATED SO I WHERE YOU
CAN HELP AND THIS IS WHY- AND I
AND I. WANT TO JUST THANK YOU
FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY-
CONSISTENT. COOK BANTERING ABOUT
. CARBON AS- FROM FOR FIRES A
CAR. THAT WE SHOULD ACTUALLY PUT
INTO THIS PROGRAM AND COUNT-
BECAUSE WHEN WE DIVERT THAT TO
SOME OTHER SOURCE OF STEP OPEN
BURN WHICH IS WHAT A WILD FIRE
DOES. WERE REDUCING CARBON AND
IS HELPING SAVE LIVES. AT THE
SAME TIME SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT
WATER QUALITY ALL THOSE OTHER
THINGS. BUT THAT CAR WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO TELL THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT YOU'RE POLLUTING OUR
AIR BE BY NOT DOING SOMETHING ON
YOUR LAND. I THINK THAT'S WHERE
CARP. AND ADMINISTRATION COULD
DO SOME HELP GIVE US SOME HELP.
AND THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET
LONG TERM CONTRACTS TO DO THAT
TREATING AND ACTUALLY HAVE THAT
SUPPLY STOCK. THAT WOULD BE ABLE
TO PUT THOSE PLANTS IN BECAUSE
NOBODY'S GONNA INVEST IN
CALIFORNIA. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
CONTINUE SUPPLY STOCK AND THAT'S
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FOR
SERVICES THAT THEY DO. A PROJECT
OVER HERE AND THEY DO A PROJECT
OVER THERE AND THERE'S- NOT. AN
UP MY APPROACH WOULD BE TAKE A
WATERSHED ON. LET'S LET'S TAKE
THE YUBA WATERSHED. AND THEN THE
YUBA COUNTY WATER AGENCIES
ALREADY DOING IT THEY'RE PUTTING
IN A THREE MEGAWATT. BIOMASS
PLANT THAT TAKES A COMMUNITY.
FIVE LOW TODAY WHICH IS A JOKE
COMPARED TO WHAT IT'S GROWING
EVERY DAY. THAT WE COULD PUT IN
A FULL SIZE SCALE PLANT- AND
THEN WE COULD WORK ON WITH THE
LEGISLATURE THE OTHER PARTS OF
IT THAT NEED TO HAPPEN BUT IN
YOUR- JURISDICTION. AND THAT IN
THE GOVERNOR JURISDICTION IF WE
PUSHED ON THE FOR SERVICE SAY
YOU CAN'T CONTINUE TO LET YOUR
FORCE JUST BURN. AND CANNOT
MANAGE IT. AND REDUCE THE CARBON
I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE CAN GET
SOME WE CAN WE CAN GET SOME
INVESTMENT. INVESTORS WOULD COME
INVESTORS SO I JUST WENT FOR
THAT. I KNOW THAT ALL THOSE
THINGS YOU TALKED ABOUT OR NOT
NEAR. JURISDICTION BUT YOU DO
YOU ARE THE JURISDICTION THAT IS
GOING TO GET THAT LOW CARBON
FUEL. CREDIT OUT. AND WE
DESPERATELY NEED THAT. BUT WHAT
ONE LAST QUESTION AND ON ON THE-
PERCENTAGES OF AREAS WITH LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD DRESS. I'M
ASSUMING HYDROGEN IS AN
ELECTRICITY. PORTION IS THAT IT
BECAUSE NOT. STATED IN HERE BUT
IS THAT. THE SERGEANTS WE GET.
GOING ON IT I WAS GONNA SAY I
DID IT IS. AS FUEL THE LOW CARB
FUELS TO. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER
FUEL WE HAVE TO DO A CARBON
IT'S- ABOUT. SO YOU CAN GENERATE
HIGH. IN UN. NINE HUNDRED OF
DIFFERENT. SOME WHICH ARE MORE
CARBON INTENSIVE FOR INSTANCE
USING FOSSIL GAS AND- TO. WITH
STEAM METHANE REFORMATION TO
GENERATE HYDROGEN. OTHERS THAT
ARE. LESS CARBON INTENSIVE LIKE
LOSING ELECTORAL. RENEWABLE
ELECTRICITY TO ELECTORAL SIZE
WATER TO GENERATE HYDROGEN. AND
SO. EVERY HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
PATHWAY THROUGH THE LOW CARBON
FUEL STANDARD GOES THROUGH
DETAILED CARBON INTENSITY
PATHWAY EVALUATION TO ASSIGN IT
APPROPRIATE CI SCORE- IN THE
PROGRAM. SO IN. IN THE
INFORMATION THE CREDITS FELL.
THE MAJORITY THE CREDITS WERE.
30% YOU WILL DIESEL. 20%
ELECTRICITY 19% BIOMETHANE 40%
BODIES 11% WHAT WHAT IS IT THAT.
THERE'S BEEN A BIG PUSH IN THE
LEGISLATURE TO. FOCUS A LITTLE
BIT MORE ON- HI JUNE BECAUSE
IT'S- ITS ADAPTABILITY IS A
LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN BATTERIES
AND WEIGHT WISE AND ALL THOSE
THINGS SO WE WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT IT ON OUR SIDE. TRYING TO
PUSH MAYBE TO GET THERE SO I
DIDN'T SEE DINNER JUST WANTED TO
SEE IF THAT'S- PART OF THE- LCF.
IT IS FOR THE- SERVICE I DON'T
HAVE THE SPECIFIC NUMBERS ON
THERE AND- I THINK YOUR SOUND
RIGHT JUST ABOUT RIGHT BUT I
WOULD SAY THAT- ONE OF THE- THE
NUMBERS A LITTLE OVER NOBLE
DIESELS REALLY INCREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE STATE I
THINK WE'RE UP TO LIKE 42405%
NOW THE LOW CARBON FUEL PROGRAM
IS RENEWABLE DIESEL SO. THAT IS
REALLY TAKEN OFF- RECENTLY-
HYDROGEN. FROM A TOTAL VALUE
PERSPECTIVE I THINK REMAINS
RELATIVELY SMALL BUT AS YOU
MENTIONED THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER
OF INITIATIVES WE CERTAINLY
RECOGNIZE ITS IMPORTANCE IN THIS
COMING PLAN TO WAS A BILL LAST
YEAR SB TEN SEVENTY FIVE THAT
ALSO HAS CAR DOING WORK ON
HYDROGEN FUEL SUPPLY DEMAND
ANALYSIS THAT WORDS. ARE MARKING
UP ON SO- JUST GONNA RECEIVE A
LOT LOT OF ATTENTION IN THE
FUTURE. THESE ARE THESE ARE
TWENTY ONE POINT TWENTY ONE
REPORT THAT. INFORMATION WE HAVE
SINCE PROBABLY CHANGE YEAH.
SECOND LAST YEAR THANK. FOR
THANK YOU- A- ALL. ON THE- COURT
PROGRAM. YEAH AND WITHOUT WILL
MOVE ON THE NEXT. THANK YOU FOR.
HI THIS IS YOUR NINETEEN MISSION
PORT FOR. FROM OF THE- ADVANCE
CLEAN FOR. REYES.
GREAT TO SEE DO YOU HAVE A- FULL
PRESENTATION. WE SURE DO OKAY GO
AHEAD RUNNING- THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME SIR I'M JOINED BY
BRANCH CHIEF TONY PURCELL WHO'S
GOING TO RUN YOU THROUGH THE
POWER POINT PRESENTATION- JUST
FOR A LITTLE BIT OF PERSPECTIVE-
IN CONTEXT- WE'VE BEEN WORKING
ON ZERO EMISSION TRUCK FOR QUITE
SOME TIME. AND IN FACT ONE OF
THE REGULATIONS- THAT BRANCH
CHIEF BRAZIL HELPED LEAD WAS THE
ADVANCE CLEAN TRUCKS REGULATION
WHICH REQUIRED MANUFACTURERS TO
BRING ZERO EMISSION TRUCKS TO
OUR STATE. WHEN WE'RE TALKING TO
FLEETS- WE REALLY FINDING THAT
FLEETS WANTED TO BUY ZERO
EMISSION TRUCKS BUT THE SUPPLY
SIMPLY WASN'T AVAILABLE SO- IN
TWENTY TWENTY THE PORT POSSE
ADVANCE CLEAN TRUCKS REGULATION
BUT THAT ALSO DIRECTED US TO
COME BACK WITH THAT ADVANCE
CLEAN. FLEETS REGULATION WHICH
IS THE TOPIC AT HAND SO WITHOUT
ALTERNATE. ALTERNATIVE REVIEW.
GOOD MORNING MEMBER- SELVES GIVE
YOU KNOW- OF SLY IN YOUR PACKAGE
- AND SO ON STARTING ON SLIDE TO
THE BEST FLEETS RIGHT- HAS FOR
ME L. TO IT ONE IS EASIER. A
HUNDRED PER VERY MUCH VEHICLES
WERE. WHAT AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT TRUCKS THAT ARE J. BIGGER
THAN PICKUP TRUCK- THERE'S A
DRAYAGE TRUCK L. STATE LAW
GOVERNMENT FLEET REQUIREMENTS
AND THEN I PRIORITY FOR. ONE AND
I'LL COVER EACH THESE ONLY MORE
DETAIL. THE FIRST ITEM ON FLIGHT
THREE IS THE 100% ZERO EMISSION
SALES REQUIREMENTS- WE INITIALLY
PROPOSED THAT WOULD BE A TWENTY
FORTY REQUIREMENTS THE BOARD IS
ACTUALLY. THE TASK FORCE TO MOVE
THAT UP TO A TWENTY THIRTY SIX.
MODEL YEAR- IMPLEMENTATION FOR
THIS WHAT AT THE SPECIFIED IN
THE MANUFACTURERS THAT. ALL
SALES WOULD BE EASIER MISSION
EXCEPT FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES
BECAUSE WE DO NOT COVER THOSE-
SO THIS IS KEY ELEMENT OF
MEETING THE GOVERNOR- EXECUTIVE
ORDERS- AND IT SENDS A VERY
CLEAR MARKET SIGNALS- TO THE-
MANUFACTURERS FLEETS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS TO-
MAKE THOSE INVESTMENTS THAT ARE
NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS A-
SUCCESS. ON THE NEXT SLIDE SLIDE
FOR ADDRESS TRUCK REQUIREMENT
THESE ARE TRACTOR TRAILER
COMBINATIONS THAT ARE- OPERATING
OUT OF PORTS AND INTERMODAL RAIL
YARDS. THE REQUIREMENT. FOR THIS
ONE WOULD BEGIN WITH THE
REGISTRATION IT HERE AT THE END
OF THE YEAR TO IDENTIFY ALL OF
THE LEGACY TRUCKS. STARTING IN
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR WOULD HAVE TO
BE ZERO EMISSION- EXISTING
TRUCKS WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE
TO OPERATE TILL THE END OF THEIR
USEFUL LIFE WHICH WOULD BE
ANYWHERE BETWEEN. TYPICALLY WITH
ABOUT FIFTEEN EIGHTEEN YEARS OR
A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES. MMHM
AND THEN THERE WOULD BE ANNUAL
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. THEN THE
REQUIREMENT THAT ONLY THE TRUCK
THING IN THE REGISTRY ARE THE
ONES THAT VISIT THE PORTS EACH
YEAR- THERE ARE SOME VERY
LIMITED EXTENSIONS- ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS PROVISION- AND THEN BY
TWENTY THIRTY FIVE ALL OF THE
TRUCKS SERVING THE PORTS RAIL
YARDS WOULD HAVE TO BE ZERO.
EMISSION. ON THE NEXT SLIDE A
NUMBER FIVE. I'LL TALK ABOUT THE
HIGH PRIORITY IN FEDERAL FLEETS
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT VEHICLES
ARE COVERED IN THIS CATEGORY-
BUT THE HIGH PRIORITY FLEETS OR
OTHERWISE- PLEASE HAVE FIFTY OR
MORE VEHICLES OPERATING IN
CALIFORNIA. CLEARING THOSE UNDER
A COMMON OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL-
OR FLEETS THAT HAVE- MORE THAN
FIFTY MILLION IN REVENUE
REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF
TRUCKS. I'M IN THIS PARTICULAR
CATEGORY WE ALSO INCLUDE LIGHT
DUTY PACKAGE DELIVERY VEHICLES-
TO GET ALL OF THE TRUCKS-
DELIVERING PACKAGES IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS DESERVE MISSION.
AND- THEY ALSO INCLUDE SOME OF-
THE ARCHER WHETHER THE ON ROAD
OR ROAD THEY HAVE STOP AT HONDA
ON A PRO. AND THOSE ARE PRIME
FOR WHICH- SO THE WORK FOR THESE
HARPER FLEET- WAS VERY SOME TO
THAT THE DRAPES PART- THERE IS
THAT THE REGISTER. WILL A LITTLE
BE THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR.
TO IDENTIFY AGAIN ALL OF THE
TRUCK THEY ALSO GET TOP THEIR
FULL USE LIFE. ANYTHING NEW. TO
THE FLEETS WERE BROUGHT INTO THE
CALIFORNIA FLEET. WITH THEM HAVE
TO BE IS- MISSION VIA OR OR A
NEW USER EMISSION VEHICLE AND
WHEN I SAY THAT THAT EMPLOYEE
PLEASE FACT WE'LL IN HIGH. THE.
AND THEN- AND THE WOULD COUNT
THE SAME AS OUR MISSION UP UNTIL
TWO THIRTY FIVE. AND THEN-
THERE'S ANNUAL REPORTING
REQUIREMENT BECAUSE AS TO HOW WE
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE
REGULATED AND THE OF THE FLEAS
THAT AREN'T AFFECTED BY THE- AND
THEN ONCE THE VEHICLE GETS TO
THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE WOULD
HAVE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE
CALIFORNIA PLEASE. AND THERE ARE
A NUMBER OF PROVISIONS AND I
WILL JUST HIGHLIGHT THOSE HERE
AND- IN A MOMENT- BUT THE
PROVISIONS ARE THERE TO ADDRESS
CIRCUMSTANCES WERE PLEASE. MIGHT
NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLY FOR AN
INDIVIDUAL FLEET- FONG GIVEN
THAT THEIR SPECIFIC SITUATION.
AN ON SITE SEVEN OR THE STATE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS-
THAT IN ESSENCE WOULD BE THAT
50% OF PURCHASES WOULD NEED TO
BE VERY MISSION BETWEEN TWENTY
FOUR AND TWENTY SIX. THIRTEEN
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN ALL
PURCHASES WOULD HAVE TO BE. VERY
MISSION ORDER THE NATURE MISSION
VEHICLES- WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF
PROVISIONS FOR THE- MORE RURAL
AREAS OF THE STATE THAT THE-
WITH THAT WOULD BE EXEMPT UNTIL
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN- FLEET TO
HAVE TEN OR FEWER. VEHICLES AT
ANY DIVISION WOULD ACTUALLY BE
EXEMPT UNTIL TWENTY SEVEN- AND
THEN THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
PROVISIONS AND- EXTENSIONS THAT
WOULD ALSO APPLY. FOR THEM- AND
I'LL COVER. THOSE IN JUST A
MOMENT. ON FLIGHT EIGHT WE HAVE
WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE- OPTIONAL
THOSE. MILES PHASE IN THIS IS
THE- THAT PHASES IN THE
REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THE TRUCK
TYPE. AND DEFERS THE
REQUIREMENTS TO LATER. TIMELINE
FOR THOSE THAT DO LONG HAUL
OPERATION AND FOR MORE
SPECIALIZED TRUCKS. SO WHETHER
YOU'RE A HIGH PRIORITY FLEET OR
PUBLICLY YOU CAN SELECT THIS
OPTION IF YOU FIND THIS TO YOUR
ADVANTAGE. I'M SORRY AND I'M
AFRAID TO MENTION THE- PUBLIC
FLEET REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE
OF THOSE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.
ONLY WHEN THEY MAKE. THERE IS NO
REQUIREMENT TO RETIRE ANY
VEHICLES SO THEY CAN KEEP THEM
AS LONG AS THEY WALK. OKAY
ANOTHER THIS MY A PRO. THE IT IS
A STRUCTURE- THE TABLE OF
OUTLINE THE- WILL GROUP ONE
CATEGORY REPRESENTS- THE
DELIVERY VEHICLES LIKE A BOX
TRUCKS AND VANS. THE MAYOR YOUR
TRUCKS AND- BUSES. THEY WOULD
START EARLIEST WITH THE TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE MILESTONE WITH 10%
WOULD NEED TO BE ZERO EMISSION.
OTHER TRUCKS THAT ARE LIKE
SERVICE TRUCKS AND A CAB
TRACTORS AND THEN LARGER BUSES
WOULD START AT 10% AND TWENTY
TWENTY SEVEN- AND THEN THE GROUP
THREE CATEGORY ARE THE SLEEPER
CABIN SPECIAL. SPECIALIZED
VEHICLES. INCLUDING THOSE WITH
HEAVY FRONT AXLES THE
REQUIREMENTS WITH STARTED 10% TO
TWENTY THIRTY. AND SO THOSE ARE
A- IN- EVERTON THREE YEAR
INCREMENTS- SUCH THAT- THE GROUP
ONE VEHICLES WE ALL ZERO BY
TWENTY THIRTY FIVE. THE GROUP TO
BY TWENTY THIRTY NINE. AND THEN
THE GROUP THREE VEHICLES BY
TWENTY FORTY TO- AND ALL KIND OF
HIGHLIGHT JUST A COUPLE OF THE-
PROVISIONS. THAT WE HAVE SO THE
ANOTHER TO GO OVER EACH OF THESE
BUT THERE'S A LIST OF ROUGHLY
TEN ELEVEN PROVISIONS. OF THESE
AGAIN ARE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS
THINGS LIKE YOU VOTER THE
VEHICLE BUT IT JUST DOESN'T COME
TIMELY. ENOUGH TO BE OUT OF
COMPLIANCE- IF THERE'S
INFRASTRUCTURE YOU NEED TO PUT
IN. AND YOU DO THAT TIMELY BUT
IT TAKES TWO TO THREE YEARS OR
EVEN UP TO FIVE YEARS BECAUSE OF
WEATHER SO UTILITY DELAY OR
CONSTRUCTION REASON. AGAIN WE
WOULD BE ABLE TO COVER THAT. THE
VEHICLES NOT AVAILABLE TO
PURCHASE FOR MAKING IT
STREAMLINED LIST- WITH THE IDEA
OF THOSE THE FLEET HONORED IN
BEING ABLE TO JUST SIMPLY
CONTINUE TO BY COMBUSTION UNTIL
WE REMOVE IT FROM THE LIST AND
THAT'LL BE BASED ON. ON ITS
AVAILABILITY UNNECESSARY MACHINE
CONFIGURATION- AND ARE OTHER
PROVISIONS TO ADDRESS- MILEAGE
OR DAILY USAGE IF THEY DON'T FIT
THE APPLICATION- ADDITIONAL TIME
FOR SOME OF THE WASTE AND
WASTEWATER FLEETS- AND THEN-
EVEN SOME PROVISIONS TO ADDRESS-
VEHICLES THAT WORK. OF PLANT
PART OF THE CALIFORNIA FLEET THE
MONEY TO COME IN FOR. A
TEMPORARY PERIOD UP TO FIVE
DAYS- TO DO A REPAIR MAINTENANCE
OR PICK UP A LOAD THAT THAT
WASN'T- ANTICIPATED TO. BE
NEEDED FOR THAT TYPE- SNOW
REMOVAL. OUR DEDICATION WILL
COMMITTEES THIS LOT OF EXEMPT
BUT WE ALSO HAVE. EXTRA TIME FOR
THOSE THAT ARE. SOMETIMES USES
DUMP TRUCKS AND SOMETIMES USE
THE SNOW PLOWS TO. PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL TIME FOR- COMMERCIAL
VEHICLES TO BE USED IN THAT AREA
- AND SO. THE BECAUSE ONE OF THE
CONCERNS WE TEND TO HERE'S LIKE
HEY THERE'S A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY. WITH THE RULE HOW
DO YOU HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS.
THESE PROVISIONS ARE SET UP TO-
ADDRESS SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL
FLEET. SITUATIONS INCLUDING IF
THE TRUCK IS AVAILABLE BUT IT
DOESN'T FIT THE ACTUAL
APPLICATION. WE HAVE A MECHANISM
TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT IN
THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. SO I THINK
THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHERE- YOU
KNOW. OUR OUR RESOURCES GOING TO
BE SPENT IS TRYING TO ASSIST THE
SLEEVES. AND UNDERSTANDING ONE
WHAT THEIR OPTIONS ARE. TO
IDENTIFYING WHAT'S AVAILABLE FOR
THEM TO HELP THEM. MOVE FORWARD
BUT ALSO TO THEM- ALSO EVALUATE
WHAT ISN'T AVAILABLE AND THE WHY
NOT TO- SEE IF WE CAN- TAKE ON
SOME OF THAT BURDEN RATHER THAN
HAVING EVERY FLEET GOING THROUGH
THE SAME PROCESS. BUT TO
IDENTIFY THE SAME THING. AND
THEN ON THE LAST FLIGHT ON HIM-
WE ACTUALLY STARTED THIS RULE
MAKING BACK IN EARLY TWENTY
TWENTY. THE STAFF REPORT WAS
RELEASED LAST YEAR NOT ON AUGUST
WE HAD THE FIRST HEARING ON
OCTOBER IN THE BOARD DIRECTED US
TO MAKE SOME CHANGES THAT WERE
WILL BE TAKING BACK TO THEM HERE
IN APRIL. THE PROPOSED CHANGES
ARE OUT FOR COMMENT CURRENTLY-
AND THEN THE IMPLEMENTATION IT
WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE JANUARY OF
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. ASSUMING THE
BOARD APPROVES THE MODIFIED
REGULATIONS. GREAT THANKS SO
MUCH TONY AND I'LL JUST ADD UP
SORRY- SOME OVER ARCHING
COMMENTS HERE. ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'RE FINDING IN OUR
ANALYSIS IS THAT THERE IS REALLY
SIGNIFICANT HEALTH SAVINGS FROM
THESE TYPES OF REGULATIONS OR
PROJECTING TWENTY SIX BILLION
DOLLARS AND HEALTH SAVINGS FROM
THE ADVANCE CLEAN FLEETS
REGULATION ALONE. BUT ALSO FORTY
EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS IN SEAT
TOTAL SAVINGS FOR FLEETS. WE
KNOW THAT THE TOTAL COST OF
OWNERSHIP FOR COMBUSTION TRUCKS
IS ALREADY. PAYING OFF AGAINST
THEIR- THEIR MISSION OUR SKEWS
ME IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND
ZERO MACHINE TRUCKS ARE ALREADY
PENCILING OUT AGAINST THEIR
DIESEL COUNTERPARTS. AND SO ONE
OF THE THINGS IS THIS WILL
REALLY ACCELERATE. GETTING ZERO
EMISSION TRUCKS INTO THE HANDS
OF FLEET SO THEY CAN START-
REAPING THOSE SAVINGS. THANK YOU
. THANK YOU. NOW WE HEAR FROM
THE L. L. THANK YOU BUT WE
DIDN'T. HAVE SPECIFIC CONCERNS
ABOUT THIS- ABOUT THE REQUEST
BUT- I WANTED TO SHARE THAT THAT
WE AGREE WITH STAFF COMMENTS
THAT. THE LEGISLATURE MAY WANT
TO MONITOR THE FINAL REGULATION
WHEN IT WHEN IT COMES UP TO A
VOTE NEXT MONTH. AND DETERMINE
WHETHER WHETHER THE FINAL
REGULATION FIVE COULD AFFECT
THIS BUDGET REQUEST. OKAY HI
INTERNET FINANCE ANYTHING TO
ADD. NOT THIS TIME OKAY- WELL I
APPRECIATE A CORPS AWFUL. ON
PLANNING ON ALL OF THIS- HOW TO
CHANGE PROPOSED FIT INTO THE
SCOPING PLAN. SURE AND- I WOULD
BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T SAY IT
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PERSONAL
INTEREST IN THIS WE DID RECEIVE
YOUR SIGN ON LETTER ALONG WITH
MANY OTHERS- ASKING HER TO LOOK
AT MOVING THE ONE HUNDRED
PERCENT- ZERO MISSION PURCHASE
REQUIREMENT TO TWENTY THIRTY SIX
WHICH WE HAVE ACCOMMODATED SO.
WE ARE LISTENING AND APPRECIATE
THE INPUT. IN TERMS OF THE
SCOPING PLANET WE REALLY LOOK AT
SCOPING PLAN AS OUR CALIFORNIA'S
ROAD MAP TO ACHIEVING NECESSARY
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
REDUCTIONS TO GET TO OUR GOALS.
AND THEN THE DETAILS ARE REALLY
HAMMERED OUT TO THIS
STAKEHOLDER- PROCESS AS WE
DEVELOP THE SPECIFICS OF THESE
REGULATIONS. SO ACF IS-
CERTAINLY PART OF THE SCOPING
PLAN- BUT THE DETAILS ARE REALLY
LEFT TO THIS THE STAKEHOLDER
PROCESS THAT WE'RE NOW ENGAGING
IN- IN TERMS OF THE SECOND BOARD
HEARING THAT WILL BE GOING TO IN
APRIL I JUST WANTED TO BE. TO BE
CLEAR- IN APRIL. FOR THE SECOND
BOARD MEETINGS WERE REALLY GOING
FOR AN UP DOWN VOTE TO THE
BOARD- SO- IF YOU'RE BRACING FOR
IMPACT IN TERMS OF ANY
ADDITIONAL CHANGES- WHAT STUFF
IS PUTTING FORWARD THE VOTE. THE
BOARD WITH EITHER VOTE FOR OR
AGAINST BUT- NO ADDITIONAL
TWEAKS. OKAY THANK YOU- SIMILAR
. THANK YOU SO MUCH JUST FIFTH.
ON ISSUE OF- BIG RIG TRUCKS
RIGHT NOT NOT ASSOCIATE WITH
PORTS BUT- DISTRIBUTIONAL BIG
RIG TRUCKS THAT WE SEE THAT ARE
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. I THINK
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS IN. ALL
OF ITS FOR THIS IS THE ISSUE OF
TECHNOLOGY IN RANGE RIGHT
ESPECIALLY ON THOSE LARGER
BRAKES CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE I THINK. LIKE WE SAW FOR
EXAMPLE WITH A I KNOW THIS IS
APPLES AND ORANGES BUT IT'S
LIKE- SPORT CHARTER BOATS THAT
WERE GOING OUT HE DIDN'T HAVE
THE MOTOR TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE
TO GIVE ME. THE TIMELINE IN
CARBON THE BOARD. PUSH THAT
BACK. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT A
BIT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE
CONCERN ON THAT ISSUE IN REGARDS
TO THE TECHNOLOGY SURE AND I'M
HAPPY TO START AND TWENTY IF YOU
WANTED TO JUMP INTO THIS FOR
FREE- SO ONE OF THE REASONS WHY-
AND I. I'VE SWITCHED BACK TO THE
SLIDE EIGHT ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY WE PHASED IN- THESE
REQUIREMENTS THIS WAY IS BECAUSE
WE ARE TRYING TO REALLY MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE TARGETING. THOSE
GROUPS OF THOSE APPLICATIONS FOR
TRUCKS. THAT CAN BE ELECTRIFIED
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT THEN
RECOGNIZE THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
MORE TIME MIGHT BE NEEDED FOR
SAY THE COURT RECORDS IN FOUR
YEARS YEAH. ARE LIKE A SLEEPER
CAB TRACTORS I THINK FALL NICELY
INTO THE KIND OF- GROUP THAT
YOU'RE DESCRIBING. YOU'LL SEE
THAT OUR PERCENTAGE REQUIREMENTS
ARE PHASED IN ON A LITTLE BIT
MORE OF A STAGGERED SCHEDULE TO
ALLOW FOR THE KINDS OF
CONSIDERATIONS- THAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT- IN TERMS OF THE
DRAYAGE TRUCKS WERE FRIGHTENING
IS THAT A SIGNIFICANT POPULATION
OF THOSE TRUCKS TROUBLE UNDER.
ONE HUNDRED MILES ANY GIVEN DAY
WHICH IS- WONDERFUL BECAUSE THAT
CERTAINLY WITHIN THE RANGE OF
THE TECHNOLOGY THAT DOES EXIST
TODAY BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO TRY
TO. ACCELERATE THE
TRANSFORMATION OR MAKES THE MOST
SENSE BUT GIVE A LITTLE TIME FOR
THAT MAKES SENSE TO AND SO I
THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE
REFLECTED IN THIS GROUP ONE TWO
THREE. Q. SERVICE ON SO FORTH
LOOK AT THE LONGER TERM RIGHT OR
THOSE TRUCKS THAT ARE WORKING-
IN ANY GAME- SHOW MY BY SECOND
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND- ARE
WORKING. ON DIRT ROADS HAULING.
LARGE. IN HEAVY PRODUCT.
TECHNOLOGY HE'S STILL. ON THAT
CRACKED. YEAH WE GOT WE MADE SO
LET ME ADD TO LIVE TO THAT ONE
THE THINGS WE DID DO. INTO
TWENTY WITH COLLECTED TO FROM
THE FLEETS AT TO HOW THEY- THE
V. HEALTH USE THEM HOW MANY
MILES THEY DO. SO IT MIGHT BE
SURPRISING TO MOST PEOPLE THAT
AS FAR THE BAKER. TRUCK ABOUT.
8% AND NOT ACTUAL TRAVEL MORE
THAN TWO HUNDRED MILES- AND ONE
OF THE WAYS THAT WOULD STRUCTURE
THE RULE TO PHASE IT IN IS THAT.
A COMPANY WHO HAS A RANGE OF
TRUCKS COULD WOULD DO THE FIRST
10% AND POTENTIALLY KEEP THOSE
CLOSER AND THE LONGER ONE CALL
ONCE WE CONTINUE TO BE DIESEL-
SO THE- AND THEN PUT THAT IN THE
OTHER. ELEMENT TO IT IS EVEN IF
THEY DON'T FIT THE APPLICATION
IN TIME WE DO ACCEPT A PROVISION
THAT'S BASED ON MILEAGE FOR THAT
IF YOU'RE DOING FIVE HUNDRED
MILES A DAY. AND IS THERE
MISSION TRUCK CAN ONLY DO THREE
HUNDRED MILES PER. CHARGE THEN
WE WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE YOU AN
EXEMPTION TO ALLOW YOU TO
CONTINUE TO PURCHASE COMBUSTION
VEHICLES UNTIL THE TECHNOLOGY
WAS READY TO DO THE TO DO THAT
AT THE MILEAGE THAT YOU. THAT
WAY AND WE'LL JUST THAT COMPANY
BY. IF THAT'S- AND WITH THAT
PURCHASE NEED TO BE OUT OF STATE
OR RETAILER CAN TO CONTINUE TO
SELL IN STATE- FOR EXAMPLE USE
USED FOR EXAMPLE A FIVE HUNDRED
MILE RANGE IT WILL SO IN TERMS
OF THE REGULATION- THE THIS THAT
MILESTONE OPTION DOES ALLOW YOU
TO ACTUALLY CONTINUE TO
PURCHASE- COMBUSTION VEHICLES-
IF YOU CHOOSE TO. AS LONG AS YOU
MEETING THE PERCENTAGE
REQUIREMENTS ON THOSE ARE
MISSION- SO THE REQUIREMENT
WOULD BE THAT YOU WOULD PURCHASE
A CALIFORNIA CERTIFIED. ENGINE
GOT. BECAUSE IT'S A CLEANER
ENGINE THAN WHAT FEDERALLY
AVAILABLE STARTING STARTING NEXT
YEAR. YEAH AND- THE PRISM WITH
THAT SALE WOULD BE HERE BUT DID
. I GUESS ABOUT THE COULD OCCUR.
KNOW THAT I APPRECIATE THAT- IN
THE THREE PROJECT. AS I KNOW I
THINK. PART OF THE SERVER A
MEETING WITH- FIRMS WITH IN. THE
AREAS THAT WE REPRESENTED IN.
GOING THROUGH THAT I KNOW THAT
THERE'S- FEDERAL INDIGESTION IN
IN TRYING TO GET HIT THE- WHILE
. US BEING ABLE TO OPERATE.
AGAIN AND FOCUS MORE ON THOSE
LONGER RANGE. OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE SO I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE CONFIRMATION
THANK YOU. HELLO SO- FIRST- TO
THIS IS BAY. OFF OF AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER BY. THE GOVERNOR. AND
THEN. THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION
I GUESS. WHAT I HEARD FROM. IT'S
A GREAT SO WE DO HAVE AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER GRADING- PERCENT
OF FLEET REQUIREMENTS FOR ZERO
EMISSIONS BUT I WOULD SAY THE
OTHER. KIND OF PRINCIPLE THAT WE
LOOK AT WHEN WE DEVELOPER
REGULATIONS IS THE REAL NEED TO
ACHIEVE THE FEDERALLY HEALTH
PROTECTIVE AIR QUALITY STANDARDS
PARTICULARLY- YOU KNOW IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. SO A LOT
OF OUR WORK IS ALSO AIMED AT HOW
DO WE ACCELERATE THE DRIVE TO
LEFT VACATION SO THAT
COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED FROM THESE NEAR SOURCE
POLLUTION- HUBS. YOU KNOW ARE
ARE LESS SO HOW CAN WE TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE TRANSFORMATION
THAT'S THAT'S TAKING AFFECTED
MAKE SURE THAT THOSE BENEFITS
ARE REALIZED IN CALIFORNIA SO
YES THERE'S AN EXECUTIVE ORDER.
THAT WE LOOK TO FOR GUIDANCE
THERE'S THE SCOPING PLAN BUT
THEN THERE'S ALSO THESE CRITERIA
HEALTH POLLUTANT MANDATES THAT
WE LOOK AT AS WELL AND THEN IT
ALL IT ALL CONCEALS. AND THESE
REGULATIONS SO THE LEGISLATURE
DOESN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING YOU
CAN IMPLEMENT THIS WITHOUT
LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL. OUR BOARD
COULD MOVE FORWARD ON ADOPTING
THE ADVANCE CLEAN FLEETS
REGULATION IN APRIL THE THING
THE I THINK DISCUSSION POINT
BEFORE YOU- RIGHT NOW AT LEAST
IN THIS CONTEXT IS NOT ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO. AS CARP IS TAKE ON A LOT OF
THE IMPLEMENTATION OURSELVES
VERSUS PUT THE IMPLEMENTATION ON
FLEET SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE
YOU. IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TODAY
IS A B. C. P. REQUEST. WHICH IS
YOU KNOW CERTAINLY YOUR
DECISION- AND THEN OF COURSE THE
OTHER POLICY BILLS COULD TAKE
PLACE THAT AFFECT HOW WE
IMPLEMENT THE CF- SO THE
PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES. SCARY WE
ARE AT THAT VERY GIVING AWAY ALL
OF OUR STORY TO THE BOARD
ACTUALLY MAKE THE DECISION I
KNOW THERE'S A SCOPING PLAN
THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS.
TELLING US HOW WE'RE GONNA GET
THERE IN THE FUTURE BUT- I'M IN
THE TRUCKING BUSINESS AND I KNOW
THAT IT'S- NUMBER IS RIGHT
AROUND THE CORNER WHEN YOU TALK
ABOUT. TWENTY TWENTY THIRTY FIVE
TWENTY FORTY FIVE. TWENTY THIRTY
SIX- AND TECHNOLOGY IS REALLY.
AB NOT REALLY THERE FOR
DEFINITELY FOR LONG LINES. TO
TALK ABOUT- YOU EXTENDING THOSE
A BILL- BUT I THINK ACOSTA
PUBLIC IN IN. IN GOODS MOVEMENTS
IS GOING TO BE- VERY EXPENSIVE.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GET
THE ENTERED THE CHARGING
STATIONS IN PLACE AS WELL WHAT
ABOUT INTERSTATE COMMERCE WITH
THE- FROM PEOPLE COMING IN AND
OUT OF CALIFORNIA THAT. WILL
HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO WITH
INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAWS
BRINGING WE WERE FACED WITH THAT
NOW WE HAVE TRUCKS COMING IN
THAT- DON'T MEET CALIFORNIA AIR
QUALITY STANDARDS- AND- BECAUSE
OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE THEY'RE
NOT REGULATED SO- I'M IN
CALIFORNIA I'M REGULATED- BUT
THEY'RE NOT. WHAT WHAT DOES THIS
LOOK LIKE FOR BECAUSE OF THE- A
LOT OF COMMODITIES LEAVE OUR
PORTS. AND GO ACROSS THE NET AND
THEY KNOW AND TO BE CLEAR SO
WITH THE EXISTING TRUCK AND LESS
REGULATION IT APPLIES TO ALL
TRUCKS THAT DO OPERATE HERE- AND
WHAT APPROACH TO THE SAME WAY
HERE WITH INVESTING FLEETS IT'S
YOU IDENTIFY YOUR CALIFORNIA
FLEET. YOU FACE IN YEARS OUR
MISSION TRUCKS AS PART OF THAT
FLEET WEATHER DOESN'T MATTER
WHERE YOU'RE BASED BUT IF YOU'RE
OPERATING HERE. THEN YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO MEET THE SAME
REQUIREMENTS- AND AGAIN AND THEN
THIS PARTICULAR REGULATION WHEN
WE'RE TALKING HIGH PRIORITY
FLEETS IS THE ONES WITH OVER
FIFTY MILLION IN REVENUE AND OR
FIFTY. OR MORE TRUCKS RIGHT NOW
IT'S NOT AFFECTING. THE IN THAT
HIGH PRIORITY CATEGORY- THAT THE
SMALLER COMPANIES THAT AT THIS
TIME AND- THE BOARD IS ALREADY
DIRECTED US TO COME BACK WITH
ANOTHER MEASURE- BY TWENTY
TWENTY EIGHT TO ADDRESS ALL.
OTHER TRUCKS AND HOW TO GET
THOSE TWO ZERO MISSION. AND
WE'RE LOOKING AT SEEING IF THERE
ARE MARKET MECHANISMS BUT WE
WOULD NEED LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL
FOR. THOSE KINDS OF THINGS TO
SEE IF THAT'S A BETTER WAY TO DO
IT- AVAILABLE AGAIN WE HAD TO
LOOK AT THAT COMPETITIVE-
CONSIDERATIONS OF TRYING TO HAVE
LIKE FOR LIKE COMPANIES. MEET
THE SAME REQUIREMENTS. TOOK A
LARGE COMPANIES ARE WONDER GOING
TO GET. THE REGULATED FIRST THE
RATE NEARLY NINE OR MORE YEAH
THE RATE CUT AS COULD BE ONE ON
A- BUT THAT'S A MORE LOCAL. AND
PLACING AN FOR. COULD BE
STRATEGY. MORE QUICKLY RIGHT-
BUT- WE WOULD GET THE IN OF THE
DAY AT WORK ALSO LOOKING AT- IN
FUTURE WILL. IS DO YOU GET OTHER
TRUCKS IS OUR MISSION. ANOTHER
OTHER TO WAYS TO DO IT THAN JUST
A PARADE. IN ON ON THE. THE
WHAT'S THE WEIGHT. WAS THE
WEIGHT THE- OF THE- THREE ACTS.
THE SO THE ANSWER IS A PART AND
I THINK PEOPLE DO. NOT FULLY
UNDERSTAND IS IF YOU HAVE A
VEHICLE THAT WITH A HUNDRED MILE
BATTERY. WEIGHS ABOUT THE SAME
OR LESS ONCE YOU NEED THREE
ANIMAL RAIN FORMALLY AS THEN YOU
STARTED INTO HIGHER WEIGHTS. AND
AS YOU KNOW THE- ARMENO-
TECHNOLOGY CONTINOUS TO IMPROVE
- AND THEN THE- WAIT AND- IN
YOU'RE GOING TO- AND SO THAT IS
STILL AN- AND WE DO KNOW THAT
THE- YOU KNOW IN CALIFORNIA
THERE IS A TWO THOUSAND POUND
EXEMPTION. FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL
VEHICLES INCLUDING BATTERY
ELECTRIC. BY TWENTY THIRTY WE
THINK EVERYTHING WILL BE WITHIN
THAT CATEGORY AS OF TODAY THAT'S
NOT THE CASE- BUT ALSO THE
REASON WHY WE- KIND OF STAGGERED
THOSE REQUIREMENTS TO LATER
DATES- FOR SOME OF THESE TRUCKS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WITH THAT
WE MOVE ON TO ITEMS YOU OFF
YOUR- A TIME HERE TODAY- MOVING
ON ISSUE TO. ELECTRIC VEHICLES
EQUIPMENT PAYMENT STANDARD. IN
THE TRAILER BILL- AND WE WILL.
HERE FROM CARP BECAME FEES ON.
HEY GOOD MORNING SURE- IN
MEMBERS FRAME BRANDON MERIT WITH
THE DEPARTMENT FINANCED THE
CONSTRUCTION PROPOSES TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE TO ALIGN CARBS
EVSC STANDARDS REGULATION WITH
RECENTLY PUBLISHED ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERALLY
FUNDED. EVSC INSTALLATIONS THIS
WILL HELP INSURE CALIFORNIA CAN
CONTINUE RECEIVING FEDERAL FUNDS
IN PARTICULAR THE NATIONAL.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE
OR NAVY FUNDS FOR THIS- FOR THIS
INFRASTRUCTURE. THE THRILL
BILLING WHICH ALSO ALIGNS
REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD IN TWENTY
NINETEEN WHICH IMPLEMENTED
SENATE BILL FOR FIFTY FOUR- TO
ESTABLISH OPEN ACCESS PRINCIPLES
FOR EASY CHARGING STATIONS. AND
I WILL NOW HAND IT OVER TO MY-
COLLEGE AN AIR RESOURCES BOARD
FOR ANYTHING FURTHER ON THE SAME
. NOTHING. TO HELLO. WE DON'T A
ARE ON ON THE PROPOSAL- TWO I
GUESS FOR CORPORATE HOW
ALIGNING. THE STATE SANDERS WITH
THE FEDERAL STANDARDS- SUPPORT.
THE STATE'S EFFORTS IN IN
GETTING FEDERAL FUNDS FOR EASY
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE. THANK
YOU JENNIFER GRISSOM KEEPER THE
SINGLE TRANSPORTATION
COMMUNITIES DIVISION AT CARBON
MY DIVISION IS HOME TO THE
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY
EQUIPMENT STANDARDS REGULATION.
THE MAIN THE MAIN ELEMENTS OF
THE REGULATION OF THE TRAILER
BILL ALIGNS WITH THE FEDERAL
NAVY FUNDS IS A REQUIREMENT
AROUND THE PAYMENT METHOD SO OUR
RATES ARE REGULATION REQUIRES.
EVSC TO HAVE BOTH A CHIP READER
IN A TAP READER- NAVY REQUIRES-
TAP AND- YOU CAN HAVE OTHER
PAYMENT METHODS IF YOU WANT BUT
THEY'RE OPTIONAL AND ALSO
REQUIRES PLUG AND CHARGE. SO
THIS BILL SAYS PLUG IN CHARGE
AND TAP AS THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS AND THEN TWENTY
TWENTY EIGHT CARP COULD REVISIT
THAT ONCE WE HAVE YOU KNOW WE
HAVE EXPERIENCE IMPLEMENTING THE
NAVY FORMULA FUNDS OKAY. BUT
THROUGHOUT HELP US MAXIMIZE THE
FEDERAL FUNDS BY DOING THIS
OKAY- KIND OF ANYTHING FURTHER.
THANK YOU HIS MOVE AS QUICKLY
AND APPRECIATE- YOU BEING HERE
TO SHARE THAT WITH US. YEAH WILL
NOW MOVE ON TO ISSUE TWENTY ONE.
EVAN TATIAN AND REDUCTIONS IN
THE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
PACKAGE. AND WE WILL HEAR FROM
CFA WHEN READY.
OKAY GREAT. MISTER CHAIRMAN
RESIGNATION. WITH THE DEPARTMENT
FINANCE- TO GET IT AS YOU KNOW
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
LEGISLATURE- CAME TOGETHER TO
MAKE HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE ONE
POINT ONE BILLION DOLLARS IN THE
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO BUDGETS-
THINKING SINGLE AGRICULTURE FOOD
RESILIENCY AND DROP PROGRAMS
ACROSS OUR AGRICULTURAL
COMMITTEE. A COMMUNITIES THE
GOVERNMENT'S BUDGET CONTINUES TO
MAINTAIN OVER ONE BILLION
DOLLARS THAT INVESTMENT ABOUT
89% OF THESE HISTORIC
INVESTMENTS IN SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURE. JUST SO YOU KNOW AS
A PART OF THE- ADMINISTRATION'S
APPROACH TO HOW WE ADDRESS THE-
THE FISCAL SITUATION WITH THE
GENERAL FUND WE LOOKED AT A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN EVALUATING-
WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH SOME OF
THE SOLUTIONS THIS INCLUDED-
PROTECTING THE MAJORITY. OF
FUNDING FOR MOST OF THE
PROGRAM'S PRIORITIZING
INVESTMENTS IN PRIORITY
POPULATIONS WHICH FACE
DISPROPORTIONATE HARM FROM
POLLUTION AND THE CLIMATE CRISIS
PROTECTING FUNDING FOR THE MOST
IMMEDIATE CLIMATE RISKS SUCH AS
WATER AND WILDFIRE MINIMIZING
DISRUPTIONS FOR PROGRAMS ALREADY
UNDERWAY INCLUDING
CONSIDERATIONS FOR STATUS OF
PREVIOUSLY APPROPRIATED FUNDS. A
POTENTIAL AVAILABILITY TO SHIFT
OTHER FUNDS INCLUDING FEDERAL
FUNDS IF IT WAS POSSIBLE-
PROVIDING EQUITABLE REDUCTIONS
ACROSS CATEGORIES SO- AND WE
PRESERVE BUT 89% AS MISSION FOR
THE SUSTAINABLE AG INVESTMENTS
WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH. ABOUT
THE GENERAL RANGE WITH WHAT WE
TOOK WITH OTHER CLIMATE PACKAGES
AND OF COURSE THE AVAILABILITY
OF PROGRAM FUNDING BY FISCAL
YEAR ALL OF THESE- INDEED
SUSTAINABLE AG WERE- UNDER THE
CONTROL SECTION RESEARCH FIGURES
DEMONSTRATING THE
ADMINISTRATION'S COMMITMENT TO
THE ORIGINAL INTENT AND HOPEFUL-
HOPEFULLY IN A BETTER FISCAL
CLIMATE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE
SUPPORT THE- FORMAT OF THESE
PROGRAMS BUT IT DOES CONTINUE TO
PRESERVE. OVER ONE MILLION
DOLLARS OF THE ORIGINAL BEST.
GOOD AFTERNOON- CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE RACHEL
O'BRIEN I'M THE DEPUTY SECRETARY
FOR LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS FOR THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD
AND AGRICULTURE. HAPPY TO BE
HERE WITH YOU TODAY IN PLACE OF
SECRETARY KAREN ROSS. THANK YOU
FOR HAVING ME- TO SPEAK ABOUT
THE DEPARTMENT'S PROPOSED BUDGET
AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO CLIMENT
AGRICULTURAL PACKAGES. THAT CDFA
HYDRO OF ROLE RESPONSIBILITY IN
IMPLEMENTING AND OF COURSE THANK
YOU. FOR THE PARTNERSHIP ON
THESE MANY IMPORTANT FUNDED
PROGRAMS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS- CFA IS RECEIVED SEVEN
HUNDRED FORTY TWO MILLION
DOLLARS BETWEEN THE FISCAL YEARS
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO AND TWENTY
TWO TWENTY THREE. TO HELP
FULFILL THE STATE'S DIVISION OF
HAVING A HEALTHY EQUITABLE AND
CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL FOOD
SYSTEM. OF THIS TOTAL TWO
HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION HAS
BEEN COMMITTED TO PROJECTS AND A
HUNDRED FORTY THREE MILLION HAS
BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR GENERAL FUND
SOLUTIONS. THIS LEAVES A TOTAL
OF THREE HUNDRED ELEVEN MILLION
UNCOMMITTED. AND AS THE
SECRETARY SPOKE TO THIS
COMMITTEE EARLIER THIS MONTH.
WHEN SHE CAME BEFORE YOU THESE
PROGRAMS ARE ESSENTIAL TO
IMPLEMENTING KEY ADMINISTRATIVE
AND LEGISLATIVE GOALS. AND CDFA
HAS FUNDED A HAS FUNDING PLANS
IN PLACE TO COMMIT A HUNDRED AND
TWELVE POINT FIVE MILLION. IN
THE FIRST HALF OF TWENTY TWENTY
THREE AND ALL THE REMAINING
FUNDING BY THE END OF TWENTY
TWENTY THREE- WITH THAT KIND OF
WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE PIVOT- TO
SOME QUESTIONS THAT HAD BEEN
SENT TO US THROUGH THE CHAIRS-
CONSULTANT. ON HOW THE
DEPARTMENT IS FOCUSING- THESE
PROGRAMS ON TARGET POPULATIONS-
CITY VIEWS- EQUITY IN OUR GRANT
PROGRAMS AND THROUGHOUT THE
DEPARTMENT AS ONE OF OUR TOP
PRIORITIES. REGENE SOCIALLY
DISADVANTAGED FARMERS AND
RANCHERS- HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN
A CHALLENGE BUT CDFA SIX AND
NAVIGATE SPECIFICALLY- LANGUAGE
BARRIERS TO SMALL AND MEDIUM
SIZE FARMERS. WHO HAVE LIMITED
TIME TO LOOK INTO AN APPLY FOR
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS WE KNOW THAT
THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE IN THE
SPACE. SO WITH THAT SAID- CFA
DOES MAINTAIN A GOAL OF 25% OF
ALL SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL
PACKAGE FUNDING. GOING TO THOSE
SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS
AND RANCHERS. AS WELL AS A GOAL
OF 35% FOR PRIORITY POPULATIONS
FOR TRF FUNDED PROGRAMS.
BUILDING UPON THE
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE WITHIN
THE TWENTY TWENTY FORMER EQUITY
REPORTS THAT CDFA SENT TO THE
LEGISLATURE. ON THE DEPARTMENT
HAS INCREASINGLY IMPLEMENTED NEW
POLICIES AND CREATED NEW
PROGRAMS THAT IN BAD EQUITY-
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IS MADE
AVAILABLE IN THE LANGUAGES OF
THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY. TO
HELP SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED
PRODUCERS APPLY FOR GRANT
PROGRAMS AND ALSO TO IMPLEMENT
THOSE PROGRAMS. CITY PHASE
PROGRAMS FUNDED SUPPORT
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS
WHO SPECIFICALLY PRIORITIZE
SUPPORT FOR SOCIALLY
DISADVANTAGED AND SMALL SCALE
PRODUCERS IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES.
CFA IS ALSO HIRED A GRANTS
COORDINATOR TO ENSURE OUR REGION
COMMUNICATION IS DISSEMINATED IN
A TIMELY MANNER. AND SEE IF THE
STAFF CAN BEST PROMOTE GRANT
OPPORTUNITIES STATEWIDE. THE
CITY OF A SMALL FARM LIAISON
POSITION WAS CREATED. IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE TO FURTHER IN OUR
REACH TO SEE SCALE AND HAS
UNDERSERVED. IN ENGLISH ANSWER.
ALONG WITH SUPPORT STAFF FROM
PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN SPANISH. NEW
GRANT PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CREATED
WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT TO ADDRESS
EQUITY SUCH AS THE CALIFORNIA
UNDERSERVED SMALL PRODUCER
PROGRAM. AND THE BEGINNING
FARMER FARM WORKER TRAINING
PROGRAM AS WELL AS OUR NEW
ORGANIC TRANSITION PILOT
PROGRAM. THESE PROGRAMS
EXPLICITLY SERVE AND BENEFIT
SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED AND SMALL
SCALE PRODUCERS STATEWIDE. AND
ALL INCLUDE ELEMENTS OF
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ADDRESS
EQUITY. EXISTING GRANT PROGRAMS
SUCH AS THE ONES THAT FALL UNDER
OUR CLIMATE SMART AG PROGRAMS
CONTINUE TO EXPAND- PROGRAMS
SUPPORT THIS INCLUDES TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE OF COURSE. AND
FLEXIBILITY WITHIN THOSE
PROGRAMS WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OF
THOSE PROGRAMS TO SPECIFICALLY
IN BAD EQUITY- SUCH AS LANGUAGE
BERRIER IS SUCH AS ADJUSTING
LANGUAGE BARRIERS. ON THESE
PROGRAMS ALSO PRIORITIZE 25% OF
FUNDS FOR SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED
FARMERS AND RANCHERS WITHIN THE
DIRECT PRODUCER GRANTS. LAST
YEAR FOR EXAMPLE- YOU TAKE A
HEALTHY SOILS PROGRAM WHICH HAS
SIXTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS- THAT
WERE APPROPRIATED. WE RECEIVED
NINETY MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
APPLICATIONS WHICH IS AN OVER
SUBSCRIPTION RATE OF A HUNDRED
AND FORTY FOUR PERCENT. AS YOU
CAN IMAGINE SOME PROGRAMS SOME
PROJECTS WERE NOT FUNDED HOWEVER
OF THE TOTAL FUNDING THAT WAS
REQUESTED. APPLICATIONS FOR
SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS
AND RANCHERS CONSTITUTED TWENTY
TWO POINT 5% OF THE FUNDING
REQUESTED AND CDFA AWARDED 30%
OF THE AVAILABLE DOLLARS TO
THOSE CONSTITUENTS. IN ALL
ROUNDS OF THE PROGRAM'S CFA
AWARDED 26% OF THE FUNDING TO
SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS
AND RANCHERS. EVEN THOUGH THEY
CONSTITUTED ONLY 24% OF THE
TOTAL APPLICATIONS- SO WE ARE
MAKING AN EFFORT TO SIGNIFICANT
EFFORT TO PRIORITIZE THESE
APPLICATIONS- TO ADDRESS THAT
DIFFICULTY IN REACHING THESE
APPLICATION APPLICANTS- CFA
INVEST 5% OF ALL OF ITS CLIMATE
SMART. AGRICULTURAL PROGRAM
FUNDING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
TO HELP WITH THESE APPLICATIONS-
I'M IMPLEMENTATION- PROJECT
CLOSE OUT OF ALL WHITE WHILE
NAVIGATING LANGUAGE BARRIERS.
AND 25% OF THAT FUNDING- IS
SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON SOCIALLY
DISADVANTAGED FARMERS AND
RANCHERS- ADDITIONALLY CFA HAS
PROGRAMS- THAT FOCUS
SPECIFICALLY ON SOCIALLY
DISADVANTAGED FARMERS AND
RANCHERS. THESE INCLUDE LIKE I
SAID OUR CALIFORNIA UNDERSERVED
SMALL PRODUCER PROGRAM WHICH
MADE 80% OF DIRECT PRODUCER
GRANTS TO SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED
FARMERS AS A RANGER. ARE AN
INCIDENT PRODUCERS- AND A
HUNDRED TO SMALL SCALE
PRODUCERS- IN ADDITION TO
FUNDING PRIORITIES THE FUNDING
PRIORITIZATION I MENTIONED
BEFORE. WE SEE- THIS TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AS REALLY CRITICAL
AND CORD TO HELPING- THESE
APPLICANTS IN THESE CATEGORIES-
YOU ALSO ASKED ABOUT FEDERAL
FUNDING YOU KNOW HOW- HOW IS THE
DEPARTMENT- IN THE PROGRAM
AREAS- WHAT WE DOING TO MAXIMIZE
THOSE FEDERAL FUNDING TO
LEVERAGE OUR FIVE THE FEDERAL
FUNDING AND DRAW IT DOWN- A
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE USDA'S. NATURAL
RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE
THEY HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED THE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INCENTIVES
PROGRAM IT'S OFTEN CALLED HE
QUIT. THAT FUNDS PROGRAMS LIKE
HEALTHY SOILS- IN THE STATE
WATER EFFICIENCY ENHANCEMENT
PROGRAM- THERE ARE A FEW
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES- YOU
KNOW BETWEEN OUR PROGRAMS AND
THERE'S THOUGH BUT CFA HAS
RECENTLY PARTNERED. WITH THE
CALIFORNIA DAIRY RESEARCH
FOUNDATION TO APPLY FOR AND
SECURE EIGHTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS FROM USDA'S. CLIMATE
SMART COMMODITIES GRANT. AND
THEN THE ENTER- PROVIDES
ASSISTANCE TO FORM AND RANCHERS
AND HELPS THEM APPLY FOR FEDERAL
GRANT FUNDING- THEY DO HAVE A
STRICT PROCESS AND THEIR OWN
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THAT LIMITS
WHAT STATE FUNDED- TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS CAN OFFER.
IN TERMS OF SUPPORTING THE
PROCESS SEES HOWEVER CDFA DOES
ENCOURAGE STATE FUNDED TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS TO
FACILITATE FINDING FEDERAL COST
SHARING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STATE
FUNDED PROJECTS. AND THERE IS
INHERENTLY SOME OVERLAP IN
SUPPORT FOR FARMERS AND RANCHERS
APPLYING FOR BOTH STATE AND
FEDERAL PROGRAMS- SEE IF THE
ALSO RECENTLY FINALIZED A
MEMORANDUM MEMORANDUM OF
AGREEMENT. BETWEEN THE LARGEST
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
ORGANIZATIONS IN CALIFORNIA TO
ENSURE THAT PRODUCERS HAVE
COMPREHENSIVE AND FULL SERVICE
ACCESS TO ALL CONSERVATION
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE. AND THOSE
ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDE- THE USDA
NRCS THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
OF RESOURCE CONSERVATION
DISTRICT AND THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AG AND NATURAL
RESOURCES. AND FINALLY THE
CALIFORNIA UNDERSERVED AND SMALL
PRODUCER GRANT PROGRAMS INCLUDE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
SPECIFICALLY TO ASSIST PRODUCERS
TO APPLY FOR FEDERAL AND STATE
RELIEF GRANT PROGRAMS. AND
WITHOUT OVERTURNING THE MIKE
BACK TO THE CHAIR. I THINK YOU-
TO FROM THE L. A. GOOD AFTERNOON
MISTER CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS FRANK MENACE WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE-
OVERALL WE FIND THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSALS WITHIN THE
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PACKAGE
ARE REASONABLE. IN MANY CASES
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED
REDUCTIONS TARGET- NEWER
RECENTLY ESTABLISHED PROGRAMS WE
FIND THIS TO BE A REASONABLE
APPROACH- GIVEN THAT THESE
PROGRAMS HAVE A MODERATE AMOUNT
OF UNCOMMITTED FUNDS AND ARE
RELATIVELY NEW WITH UNCERTAIN
BENEFITS- IN MOST CASES THE
GOVERNOR SUSTAINED SOME LEVEL OF
FUNDING FOR THESE PROGRAMS SO
THAT. ENSURES THAT ACTIVITIES
THAT THE LEGISLATURE INTENDED TO
SUPPORT CONTINUE BUT I HAD A
SMALLER SCALE. ALSO SUSTAINING
FUNDING FOR THESE NEW PROGRAMS
ALLOWED THEM TO BE IMPLEMENTED
IN FOR THE STATE TO GATHER
INFORMATION ON THEIR
EFFECTIVENESS WHICH COULD BE
HELPFUL FOR THE LEGISLATURE AND
FUTURE FUTURE BUDGET DECISIONS-
WE NOTE THAT GIVEN OUR OFFICES
RECENT ESTIMATES OF A WORSENING
BUDGET CONDITION POTENTIALLY- IN
OUR REPORT WE IDENTIFIED TO
TIONAL SOLUTIONS THE LEGISLATURE
COULD LOOK FOR WITHIN THE
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PACKAGE-
ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS BEING THE-
PART IN THIS GOING TO BE A GRANT
PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM IS
RELATIVELY NEW AS A MODERATE
AMOUNT OF UNCOMMITTED FUNDS- THE
PROGRAM IS SUPPOSED TO BE
RELEASING AN OUTCOME REPORT-
WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR SO THE
LEGISLATURE COULD SCALE BACK
THAT FUNDING TO FIND ADDITIONAL
SOLUTIONS AND ALLOW THE PROGRAM
TO CONTINUE AT A- SCALED DOWN
LEVEL AND WAIT FOR. ADDITIONAL
REPORTING OUTCOMES BEFORE-
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
AUGMENTATIONS. WITH THEM HAPPY
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY
THANK YOU. THOSE WERE
COMPREHENSIVE US CONCERN ABOUT
CUTS TO AROUND CULTURE PRO.
WHERE THE- FARMS COMMUNITY FOOD
HUBS- BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOUR
YOUR COMMENTS FOR THE WORK THAT
THE DEPARTMENT IS DOING TO. TRY
TO TARGET SMALL FARMERS AND- SO
SHE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
LET ME SEE WHAT QUESTIONS MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN THAT'LL
SURVIVE ANYTHING ELSE AT THE END
. MORE OKAY. WELL AGAIN IT WAS A
PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW-
YOU KNOW THE SEVERAL THOSE
PROGRAMS I LIKE TO LOOK FOR TO.
KIND OF DIVING MORE INTO
PERSONALLY JUST MAKE SURE THAT
OFFSETS- YOU KNOW SOME OF THE
CUTS THAT ARE MADE HERE SO. I
THINK WE HAVE A WHOLE OPEN FOR
NOW AND RETURNS THE SEVEN OF THE
TIME BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAIR. THE
FIRM THANK YOU SIR WERE- MOVING
ON TO ISSUE TWENTY TWO. WHICH WE
ARE LAST ITEM OF THE DAY. BEYOND
THIS IS THE OVERSIGHT COSTS FOR
AB FOURTEEN. NINETY NINE. AND
WHICH WE'VE TAKEN THIS ONE AS
WELL THIS IS FRONT GERMAN TO
TURN OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE DEPUTY
CRISTINA. GREAT. THANK YOU. GOOD
AFTERNOON- CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE- MY NAME IS ARMINE
COSINA I AM DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION OF
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE- THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY
TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THE
PROPOSED TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
TO ENSURE FUNDING. FOR THE
IMPORTANT WORK THAT WE DO TO
OVERSEE CALIFORNIA'S NETWORK
AFFAIRS. SO THE FIGURES AND
EXPOSITIONS ARE AT ANY BRANCH IS
REQUIRED UNDER BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS CODE AS WELL AS FOOD
ADD CODE TO OVERSEE THE SEVENTY
SIX ACTIVE FARES INCLUDING FIFTY
TO DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL
ASSOCIATIONS ARE D. A.'S. AS
WELL AS FARES UNDER OTHER
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES. THROUGH
THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE POLICY
OVERSIGHT AND FISCAL OVERSIGHT
OVERSIGHT INCLUDING FISCAL IN
COMPLIANCE AUDITS AS WELL AS
LEGAL SERVICES FOR THE DA'S
PROVISION OF RESOURCES IN
TRAINING FOR THE BOARDS. AND
MAINTENANCE OF ACTIVITIES TO
MAKE THE FAIRGROUNDS MORE
ACCESSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE TO
COMMUNITY NEEDS. ALL OF WHICH
REDUCE LIABILITY AND EXPOSURE TO
THE STATE- THE ALBANY BRANCH
ALSO SERVES AS A NEXUS BETWEEN
THE DEPARTMENT OF THE S. AND THE
FAIRGROUNDS IN EMERGENCY
SITUATIONS FOR EXAMPLE. UNDER
CURRENT EMERGENCY ELEVEN
FAIRGROUNDS ARE ACTIVE WITH.
THREE FAIRGROUNDS HOUSING
EVACUEES. SO THE EBONY KERR
SERVE. APPROXIMATELY POINT TWO
FIVE SO WE'LL SAY APPROXIMATELY
FOURTEEN TOTAL POSITIONS WITH
TEN OF THEM SPECIFICALLY
ADMINISTERING COORDINATING AND
OTHERWISE PROVIDING OVERSIGHT TO
THE NETWORK AFFAIRS. TO DO THIS
WORK CDFA HAS BEEN USING FUNDS
FROM EXISTING RESERVES AND THE
HORSERACING HANDLE THE FOR
REFERENCE ON THE HANDLE BASED ON
PRE PANDEMIC REVENUE FIGURES.
HAVE ANY ESTIMATES THAT FOR
FISCAL YEAR TWENTY TWENTY TO
TWENTY TWENTY THREE REVENUE FROM
THE HANDLE WILL RANGE FROM ABOUT
A HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS. THE ALBANY FUND BALANCE
AS OF DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST
TWENTY TWENTY TWO WAS THIRTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS. OF THIS AMOUNT
TWELVE MILLION MILLION DOLLARS
IS REVENUE COLLECTED PURSUANT TO
ASSEMBLY BILL FOURTEEN NINETY
NINE WHICH IS NOT CURRENTLY
COVERED ADMINISTRATIVE AFFECT
EXPENSES. THROUGH THIS LEAVE THE
NET BALANCE OF ONLY ONE MILLION
DOLLARS OF NON AB FOURTEEN
NINETY NINE FUNDS WHICH WILL BE
DEPLETED IN APPROXIMATELY EIGHT
MONTHS. AT THAT TIME THE
DEPARTMENT WILL BE UNABLE TO
FULFILL OUR STATUTORY OBLIGATION
TO OVERSEE THE NETWORK AFFAIRS
OR EVEN DISTRIBUTE EIGHTY
FOURTEEN NINETY NINE FUNDS. IN
TWENTY THREE IN THE FULL FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR
AND LESSEN ADDITIONAL FUNDING
SOURCES IDENTIFIED. SO TO REMEDY
THE SITUATION THE BUDGET
INCLUDES TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
TO ALLOW CDFA TO USE REVENUE
COLLECTED PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY
BILL FOURTEEN NINETY NINE. TO
FIND EXISTING FAIRS AND
EXPOSITIONS BRANCH POSITIONS AND
OPERATING EXPENSES THESE FUNDS
ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE
AFTER THE ENCOUNTER AND THE USE
OF A PORTION OF THESE FUNDS FOR
ADMINISTRATION. WOULD BE
CONSISTENT WITH ALL OTHER FUNDS
DEPOSITED IN THAT ACCOUNT. THE
ADMINISTRATION ASSERTS THAT
THESE FUNDS ARE INAPPROPRIATE
FUNDING SOURCE TO ENSURE THAT
THE ALBANY BRANCH CONTINUES TO
BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FISCAL AND
POLICY OVERSIGHT TO THE NETWORK
AFFAIRS. AND ENSURE THAT FUNDS
COLLECTED BY AB FOURTEEN NINETY
NINE ARE BEING USED
APPROPRIATELY RESPONSIBLY AND AS
INTENDED. SO WITH THAT THANK YOU
AGAIN TO THE JURY MEMBERS THE
COMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION OF
OUR PROPOSAL AND WE WELCOME YOUR
QUESTIONS. I THINK YOU- WITH
THAT. LMAO THE ROLE THE REYES NO
CONCERNS FOR US- IF A MAN THESE
ARE EXISTING PROGRAMS THAT
ALREADY ARE EXISTING POSITIONS
ALREADY EXISTS WITHIN THE
DEPARTMENT. THEY'VE
TRADITIONALLY BEEN FUNDED WITH
THE FAIR AND EXPOSITION FUND IN
CURRENTLY THE FUND CANNOT FIND
THESE POSITIONS SO IT'S
REASONABLE TO LOOK FOR OTHER
FUND SOURCES- THE LEGISLATURE
COULD FIND THESE POSITIONS FROM
THE GENERAL FUND BUT THEN THAT
RAISES THE QUESTION OF. WHO
SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THESE
POSITIONS TAXPAYERS PROBABLY OUR
FAIRGOERS SPECIFICALLY- YES
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY THANK
YOU I KNOW THAT- ST REQUIRE HAS-
SOME QUESTIONS CONCERNS ON THIS
WILL TURN OVER HIM. THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR. CHAIR- I'M I'M
GRATEFUL- PORT HEARING THE FOR
THE WORK TO. CAN TO THE STAFF
TEAM IS WELL- SO I KNOW THAT
WE'RE GONNA BE THE SOAP TODAY
BUT I GOT TO SAY THAT THIS IS.
USING THESE FUNDS THE OF FINANCE
ORIGINALLY OPPOSE. FOURTEEN
NINETY NINE BECAUSE IT WAS CAN
IMPACT THE GENERAL FUND IS.
OFFENSIVE IF I COULD JUST BE
BLUNT- AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT
CDFA- SO LOOK. WE HAVE- SEVENTY
NINE FARES ACROSS THE STATE-
REPRESENT A REAL PART OF THE
STATE IT'S THE HEART OF OUR
COMMUNITIES AND- AT MADAM DEPUTY
SECRETARIES YOU. MENTIONED HAVE
BEEN THE GATHERING GROUNDS FOR.
A MERGING SEA STAGING IN THESE
DEVASTATING WILDFIRES. AND FOR
ALMOST A CENTURY ABOUT EIGHTY
YEARS FARES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
RELY ON HORSE RACING. BUT AS WE
SEEN THE POPULAR HORSERACING
DEPLETE OVER THE YEARS SO HAS
THE REVENUE POT. SO THE
RECESSION HIT. AND FUNDING WAS
CUT FOR FARES. AND REGARDLESS OF
THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE COUNTY
FAIRS OR STATE FAIRS THERE'S
RENEWED FEARS RUNNING LEFT TO
FEND FOR THEMSELVES. IN THE IN
THAT DIVISION THAT CDFA ONCE HAD
WIND THE WINDOW DOWN TO FROM
ABOUT A DOZEN TO MAYBE ONE OR
TWO STAFF. SO THEY WERE GOING TO
FAST FORWARD. NGUYEN FOURTEEN
NINETY NINE CAME FORWARD IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN. DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE A POST THAT. POSTED
YOU KNOW DEPARTMENT FINANCES AND
THEY WANT TO MILLION DOLLARS
FROM- IT'S QUARTER PERCENT SALES
TAX GENERATED ON FAIRGROUNDS AND
AGAIN. I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE I THINK MR
SEVEN SHOT IS ONE OF THE
SMARTEST INDIVIDUALS ON. THIS
EARTH AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING
THAT WE'RE HERE TODAY. AND I
KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
OTHER LARGER ISSUES- IN THIS
BUDGET BUT THIS IS BIG FOR RURAL
CALIFORNIA. SO THE REASON WHY I
SAY ALL THAT IS THANK GOODNESS
THE NEW GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN.
SIGNED THAT BILLS WHICH WAS.
GREAT IN AND DEVELOP THIS
ALTERNATIVE FUNDING SOURCE FOR
BOTH COUNTY AND STATE FAIRS AND
IT WAS ONGOING AND WE ARE OFF TO
A PRETTY GOOD START UNTIL
COVERED HEAD. COVERED HIT AND
THEN WE ALL CRATERED- AND NOW.
IT WAS ABOUT THREE POINT ONE
MILLION DOLLARS LAST YEAR FROM
FOURTEEN NINETY NINE REVENUE AND
ADDED THAT THREE POINT ONE
MILLION- WANT TO TAKE TWO
MILLION OF IT. WHICH OF THESE
FARES WITH PENNIES. WITH MASSIVE
CHALLENGES ACROSS THE STATE. SO
I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS GOING
TO BE A LONG TERM SOLUTION
ADVANCED YET AGAIN A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT- WESTERN FARES
WILL BE SUPPORTING THAT WOULD
INCREASE THAT QUARTER CENTER
POTENTIALLY- HIGHER AMOUNT. BUT
BEING REALLY CANDID- WOULD FIGHT
THIS TOOTH AND NAIL. IN ITS
CURRENT FORM BECAUSE IT GOES
AGAINST WHAT THIS PART WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE AND THAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO ASSIST FARE WITH
ONGOING CHALLENGES WITH ADA
ONGOING CHALLENGES FOR DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE- IT IS WELL AS-
ISSUES IN REGARDS TO OPERATIONS.
SO I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO
BE A LONG TERM CONVERSATION
BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IS WELL AS
WESTERN FAIRS AND DO BELIEVE
THAT THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
BE STARTING THE SENATE- IN WITH
THE AUTHOR TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP
THAT LONG TERM SOLUTION. AND I
HAVE AMAZING RESPECT FOR
SECRETARY ROSS- IN I. THINK SHE
IS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST THINGS
TO HAPPEN TO THAT DEPARTMENT-
AND FEEL GRATEFUL AND SURPRISING
YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WONDERFUL-
IN GRATEFUL IN AGAIN CONGRATS ON
THE BABY BY THE WAY- SO HAPPY IN
LOVE SEEN THE PICTURES- AND I
I'D- FORWARD SECURE TO BE ABLE
TO. HEAR ABOUT THIS AGAIN AND
AGAIN IT'S NOTHING. PERSONAL AT
ALL WITH DEAL WITH BUT- WE'RE
GONNA NEED TO BE A FIGURE OUT.
ANOTHER RODEO- IN. SOLUTION FOR
THIS ONE. THE RIVER OBSERVES THE
- WELL I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY
THE- FIRST WELCOME TO THIS YOU
ALL IN I'M IN. LOCKSTEP WITH
CENTER REQUIRED FOR ELEVEN YEARS
. WE'VE BEEN AND I HAVE NOW WITH
THE ADDITION OF SENATOR
NELSON'S. AT FIFTEEN COUNTIES
THAT MEANS I HAVE FIFTEEN COUNTY
FAIRS AND SEVERAL DISTRICT FAIRS
AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE
WE CAME TO IT WITH IS THE ONE
THING THAT WE ARE BOTH. WE AND
WE WORKED WITH THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GRAY IF IT WAS
CHALLENGING RIGHT TO YOU KNOW.
BUT AND AT THE END OF THE DAY
THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE WE HAVE TO
COME UP WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT
AND SO I THINK YOU'RE GONNA SEE
BIPARTISAN. SUPPORT ON BOTH IN
BOTH HOUSES TO TRY TO. RETAIN
THE MONEY TO GO TO THE FAIR CITY
TODAY I MEAN. THAT'S WHAT WE DID
IT FOR NETWORK SHOULD STAY SO I
WON'T BELABOR ANYMORE- I LOOK

WAY TO SISKIYOU COUNTY TO LOOK
AT THE FAIRGROUNDS IT. IS THE
SAME NEVER CHANGED YEAR AFTER
YEAR WE HAVE A LOCAL FARMERS AND
THEN THEN THE FARES GOT CHARGE
FOR THAT THAT'S THE KIND OF
STUFF THAT WE WERE LIKE. THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE GETTING OUT OF THE-
PROCESS AND WE'VE WE'VE THIS IS
A COMMON SENSE DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE TO. DO THAT AND WE AND
THEY ARE HOMELESS IS A ONE THING
I WANT TO STRESS ON IS. THIS WE
HAVE FLOODING GOING ON REASON
OUR FAIRGROUNDS RIGHT NOW. FIRES
COME WE USE OUR FOR AGAINST COVE
IT. WE USED OUR FAIRGROUNDS
THOSE ARE ALL THINGS- THAT AND
THE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN
DEFERRED FOR YEARS IT'S BEEN
UNDER FUNDED. AND SO. FOURTEEN

HAVE TWO MAJOR REMAINING
CONCERNS WITH THE ROLE THAT IT
COULD AFFECT THE ABILITY FOR

IN EMERGENCIES AND NATURAL
DISASTER EVENTS AND RESTORE
POWER AND WATER SERVICE WE HAVE
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS THAT THE

LOW CARBON FUEL STANDARD ITEM
ITEM EIGHTEEN WE APPRECIATE THE
DECISION CALL THE ITEM OPEN AND
LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING WITH
THE ON THE REST OF THE
LEGISLATURE. AND TAKE A HARD
LOOK AT SOME QUESTIONS THAT YOU
BASS IN THAT THEY WERE
STAKEHOLDERS AMASSED OVER THE
PAST SEVERAL YEARS AS YOU REYES
SENATOR BACKERS CARD DOES NOT.
CONSIDER THE FULL GHG EMISSION
PROFILE OF THEM THE GENERATION
OF MEN THEY WERE IN THE LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD- WALL MIGHT
BE POLICY THAT MEANT METHANE.
AND GHG EMISSIONS SO AT THE
BORDERLINE OF A CESSPOOL. THAT'S
NOT SCIENCE SINCE NOT REALITY-
WE- ALSO I KNOW THAT MUCH OF A
GOOD ORAL WILL REFUTE EVERYTHING
THAT I REYES SO LOOK FORWARD TO
FOLLOWING BACK. WITH YOU TO
REFUTE HIS- HIS POINTS. THE
DEBATE TO GO AHEAD GO AHEAD. AND
DESIGNING FRANK EMISSION
RESULTING FROM HER EX. OR HER
CONSTANT. CARDS NOT CONSIDER HOW
THESE FACILITIES FOR THE AIR AND
WATER OF NEARBY COMMUNITIES. NOR
IS IT DOES IT CONSIDER THAT IN
ORDER TO OPERATE TODAY JESTER A
FACTORY FARM IS ENCOURAGED
INCENTIVIZE. HE WAS THE MOST.
INTENSIVE AND ENVIRONMENTAL
DEGREE OF HARMFUL. PRACTICES
CARD IS NOT APPEAR TO CARE ABOUT
DOUBLE COUNTING OF ALLEGED GHG
EMISSIONS CLAIMED BY MULTIPLE
STATE PROGRAMS AND SUBSIDIES AND
CARD HAS NOT AND DOES NOT APPEAR
TO BE CONSIDERING THE ROLE OF
DIRECTOR UTILIZATION. AND
REDUCING EMISSIONS CLAIMED BY
THE LOW CARBON FUEL STANDARD. AS
LOW LEGISLATURE REVIEWS THIS
PROGRAM WE URGE YOU TO ENSURE
THAT CARP CHANGES COURSE PERFECT
FIGHT BEFORE PROVIDING MORE

NOT- TESTIFIED AND AS CARP HAS
TESTIFIED DURING METHANE
REDUCTION IS BY FAR THE MOST
COST EFFECTIVE PROGRAM OF ANY.
OPERATED HERE IN THE STATE AND-
IT IS NOT FUNDED IN THE CURRENT
BUDGET SO AS YOU LOOK TO SOME OF
THE- DISCRETIONARY FUNDS WE HOPE
THERE IS SOME CONSIDERATION.
THERE STILL IS A NEEDED TO BUILD
ANOTHER HUNDRED OR SO DIGESTIVE
PROJECTS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED.
ALTERNATIVE MANURE MANAGEMENT
PROJECTS IN THE STATE WE DO HAVE
SOME FEDERAL FUNDING THAT WILL
NEED TO BE MATCHED TO LEVERAGE
THAT EIGHTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
AND WE THINK WE CAN BRING IN
MORE. WITH ADDITIONAL STATE
FUNDS ON THE L. CFS- YOU KNOW
THERE'VE BEEN TWO PETITIONS
FILED AT CARVE ON THIS VERY
TOPIC KARMA'S HAD A WORKSHOPS
AND HEARINGS ON IT- THEY'VE HAD-
STAFF RESPOND TO THEIR REQUEST
FOR PETITIONS. THIS ISSUE
DOESN'T SEEM TO GO AWAY BUT WE
NEED TO MOVE BEYOND WE ARE NOT
IN THE BUSINESS OF PRODUCING
MINNOW OR RUN THE BUSINESS OF
PRODUCING MILK AS YOU HEARD FROM
MISTER BOTELLO. MANEUVER IS A BY
PRODUCT IT THE ACCOUNTING THE
CAR DOES IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT
RECOGNITION. WE WERE IN THE
MANURE MANUFACTURING BUSINESS
THEY MIGHT HAVE AN ARGUMENT THAT
DEL WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE MARKET PLACE
RIGHT NOW OVERALL CFS IS
STOPPING OUR PROGRESS. WE NEED
TO REDUCE METHANE WE'RE DOING
THAT THE ONLY THING STOPPING US
RIGHT NOW IS IN UNFORTUNATELY.
