California Proposes Amendments to Cap-and-trade Regulations for Linkage With Quebec


The California Air Resources Board (CARB) proposed amendments to the state’s cap-and-trade regulations to effectuate linkage between the state’s program and a cap-and-trade program established by Quebec. Among other things, the proposed regulations provide for a joint auction of allowances in November. CARB also proposed amendments relating to trading mechanics and market oversight. The proposed amendments are subject to a 45-day comment period, and then will be on the agenda for a meeting of the board on June 28. The proposed amendments and related materials are available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2012/capandtrade12/capandtrade12.htm.
