Workshops – Proposed Amendments to the Regulation for the Reporting of Criteria Air Pollutants and Toxic Air Contaminants (CTR)



Workshops

In December 2018, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the newly established “Regulation for the Reporting of Criteria Air Pollutants and Toxic Air Contaminants” (or CTR), which became effective on January 1, 2020. CARB staff has scheduled a series of workshops in February 2019 to discuss proposed amendments to CTR, which would expand the applicability requirements and increase the number and types of facilities subject to emissions data reporting. These amendments are necessary to ensure accurate and comprehensive inventories to support CARB programs, and improve data transparency and public data access.
The main focus of the workshops will be to discuss the proposed expanded applicability provisions, why they are needed, what additional sectors and sources will be affected, concepts for the proposed applicability thresholds, and options for abbreviated reporting where appropriate. We encourage your participation in these workshops and CARB’s ongoing public process for consideration of these regulatory amendments. CARB will consider public comments provided at the workshops and during the public comment period prior to staff presentation of the proposed amendments to the CARB Board. We anticipate presenting the proposed amendments to the CARB Board for consideration in mid-to-late 2020.
We have posted the workshop notice on our website, which provides additional information regarding the updates and the current adopted regulation. Prior to the workshops, we will also post the staff workshop presentation and the draft proposed amendments to the CTR text. We invite you to join us at the dates below to discuss the amendments:
