Please find comments regarding the following proposed language "95833. Disclosure of Corporate Associations. (c)(3) "A covered entity or opt-in covered entity subject to a direct corporate association pursuant to section 95833(a)(6) due to a relation...↓ship with an individual Cap-and-Invest Consultant or Advisor who has shared roles is not required to disclose direct corporate association information resulting from the relationship and is not required to apply for the Shared Role Exemption described in section 95833(c)(4) if the Cap-and-Invest Consultant or Advisor both provides Cap-and-Invest consulting services pursuant to section 95979(b)(2) to only covered entities, opt-in covered entities, or both, and does not have a user account in the tracking system."

Numerous small compliance entities have relied on Cap-and Invest Consultants since 2012 to assist them with compliance with the Cap-and-Invest Program. This includes having consultants familiar with the CITSS tracking system and assisting them with numerous tasks including sharing screens and walking employees of these small firms through their three accounts in CITSS and do transfers from their general account to their compliance accounts. Many small businesses have not been able to afford to hire a dedicated employee to manage all the aspects to comply with the Cap-and-Invest Program and rely on consultants. Some of the services have included ensuring their CITSS account is ready for each annual compliance date as well as understanding how to accept and or initiate pending transfers from their general account, and how to check their annual allocation as well as to manage where to have their True UP amount in CITSS for past years as not easy for many small businesses. ARB regulations have allowed for 14 years for consultants to have access to tracking system, and this change especially harms small businesses. I have not seen any of the small businesses with consultants who have view only access express support to ARB for this meaningful change to the program after 14 years of benefits have been received.

Please amend the proposed language with prevents Consultants access to the tracking system as clause that would require entities to apply for Shared Role Exemption.

In addition, ARB has utilized Consultants with access to the tracking system to assist in reaching out to companies that were on path to not comply with the regulations when ARB was unsuccessful in getting any response from those firms. This removes a tool ARB has successfully used in the past to ensure as close to 100% compliance with program as possible. Air Pollutant Specialists in ARB's Market Monitoring Section have experience utilizing this tool.

Thank you.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide public comment on the modified text released on April 14, 2026, ahead of the May 28, 2026 public hearing. On behalf of Grassroots Carbon and the broader agricultural community, we are writing to strongly advoc...↓ate for the expanded inclusion and support of carbon removal and reduction offsets created by California ranchers through regenerative grazing and soil carbon sequestration.
Grassroots Carbon is a carbon removal company that partners with ranchers across the United States to generate verified soil carbon removal credits through the adoption of adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing and other regenerative land management practices. To date, Grassroots Carbon has facilitated millions of dollars in payments to ranchers nationwide for high-integrity, verified soil carbon sequestration.
California has set statutory targets requiring a 40% statewide GHG emissions reduction by 2030 and an 85% GHG emissions reduction by 2045. To reach these ambitious climate goals, it is essential to leverage the massive carbon sink potential of working lands. California's approximately 38 million acres of rangeland represent one of the largest untapped carbon removal opportunities in the state. Peer-reviewed literature and field data from programs like Grassroots Carbon's demonstrate that improved grazing management can sequester meaningful quantities of CO₂ in soils over time, while simultaneously restoring grassland ecology, improving soil water retention, and reducing wildfire fuel loads.
As CARB finalizes the 15-Day Amendments, we urge the Board to ensure that Cap-and-Invest protocols appropriately incentivize soil carbon offsets and recognize the critical climate solutions provided by ranchers. We offer the following comments on the modified text:
I. Soil Carbon Sequestration Should Be Recognized as an Eligible Activity Including Under the Manufacturing Decarbonization Incentive Allocation Framework
The MDI program represents an important mechanism for incentivizing investments that reduce GHG emissions from covered industrial facilities.
We note with interest the addition of section 95891(g)(2)(H), which creates a new potentially eligible project category for capital costs, electricity costs, and associated design, engineering, and permitting costs for equipment that captures CO₂ emissions, contingent on Board approval of a quantification methodology. While this provision is oriented toward mechanical carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, we urge CARB to consider that nature-based carbon removal through soil carbon sequestration on California rangelands represents an equally valid and scientifically demonstrated pathway for removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Recommendation: We request that the Board explicitly consider whether soil carbon sequestration on managed rangelands—verified through direct soil sampling and rigorous MRV protocols—could qualify as an eligible pathway. CARB should ensure that future quantification methodologies are technology-neutral and do not inadvertently exclude proven nature-based approaches.
II. Request for Future Regulatory Engagement on Rangeland Carbon
Grassroots Carbon recognizes that many of the changes we advocate for—particularly the development of a compliance-grade rangeland soil carbon protocol—extend beyond the scope of this 15-Day Notice. However, the 15-Day Amendments establish several precedents and create regulatory frameworks (such as the MDI allocation structure, the CCUS quantification methodology pathway, and the incentive-stacking provisions) that are directly relevant to future integration of rangeland carbon into the Cap-and-Invest Program.
We request that CARB:
1. Include rangeland soil carbon sequestration in the scope of any future quantification methodology development.
2. Initiate a stakeholder engagement process specifically focused on developing a compliance offset protocol for California rangeland soil carbon, drawing on the substantial body of scientific research, existing voluntary market protocols, and practical field experience from programs like Grassroots Carbon.
3. Consider the role of agricultural and rangeland sectors explicitly in the forthcoming post-2030 rulemakings.
Conclusion
Scaling nature-based carbon removal is vital to the integrity and success of California's climate goals. California's 38 million acres of rangeland represent one of the largest untapped carbon removal opportunities in the state. Regenerative grazing practices, verified through rigorous direct soil measurement, can sequester meaningful quantities of CO₂ while delivering co-benefits that directly support California's climate adaptation, wildfire resilience, water security, biodiversity, and rural economic vitality.
The 15-Day Amendments to the Cap-and-Invest Program create regulatory frameworks and precedents—particularly around carbon sequestration methodologies, incentive stacking, streamlined verification, expanded eligible activities, and practical accommodations for sequestration project administration—that can and should be extended to include nature-based carbon removal on working ranch lands. California ranchers are uniquely positioned to deliver high-quality offsets that provide direct environmental benefits in the State, and Grassroots Carbon has the field data, measurement protocols, and operational track record to support CARB in developing the scientific and regulatory foundation for this work.
Grassroots Carbon stands ready to work with CARB staff, California ranchers, and other stakeholders to bring rangeland soil carbon into the Cap-and-Invest Program. We would welcome the opportunity to share our field data, measurement protocols, and practical experience with CARB staff at any time.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and dedication to achieving California's climate targets.

Respectfully submitted,
Mike Dillinger, Chief Legal Officer

3/09/26 @ 9:28 PM

Date: March 9, 2026
To: Chair Lauren Sanchez and Members of the California Air Resources Board
From: Marc Joffe, President, Contra Costa Taxpayers Association
Subject: OPPOSITION to Proposed Amendments to the Cap-and-Invest Regulation

Dear Chair San...↓chez and Members of the Board,

On behalf of the Contra Costa Taxpayers Association, I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed amendments to the California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms (Cap-and-Invest) Regulation. While we support practical environmental stewardship, this aggressively tightened cap and the restructuring of allowance allocations will inflict severe economic damage on California taxpayers while failing to achieve genuine global emission reductions.

Our opposition is rooted in two primary concerns:

Refinery Closures and Spiking Gas Prices: Contra Costa County is heavily reliant on the jobs and economic stability provided by our local energy sector. By severely penalizing in-state refiners through a drastically reduced allowance budget, CARB is accelerating the inevitable closure of California's remaining refineries. This regulatory squeeze will immediately translate into significantly higher fuel costs at the pump—with some estimates suggesting gas prices could increase by over a dollar per gallon by 2030. Working-class Californians and local taxpayers cannot afford to bear the brunt of these artificial price shocks.

Illusory Emission Savings and "Carbon Leakage": The greenhouse gas reductions touted in the Initial Statement of Reasons are fundamentally illusory. Because California lacks interstate fuel pipelines, artificially constraining our domestic refining capacity does not eliminate the state's demand for fuel—it simply forces us to import it from overseas. As in-state refineries scale back or close, California will become entirely reliant on foreign imports arriving on massive, ocean-going supertankers. These vessels are powered by heavy bunker fuel, a thick refining byproduct that generates massive amounts of carbon, sulfur, and particulate emissions. When factoring in the immense, unregulated emissions generated by transporting foreign fuel thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean, the net environmental benefit of CARB's regulation is effectively zero. We are not saving the climate; we are simply offshoring our emissions, outsourcing our energy jobs, and forcing California taxpayers to pay a premium for imported fuel. Driving highly regulated domestic producers out of business only to rely on bunker-fuel-burning imports is a textbook example of carbon leakage.

We urge the Board to reject these amendments or substantially revise the cap trajectory to protect in-state manufacturing, prevent fuel price spikes, and ensure that our climate policies account for the true global emissions of imported energy.

Sincerely,

Marc Joffe
President, Contra Costa Taxpayers Association

Dear California Air Resources Board Members and Staff, I am writing as an individual resident of Lakeside, California, to strongly oppose the proposed amendments to the California Cap-and-Invest Program (formerly Cap-and-Trade). My name is Jason Wals...↓h and I can be reached via my Email address above or at the contact in information provided in my submission. As a concerned citizen, I reject any changes that would effectively increase fees or taxes on gasoline and other fuels, which these amendments appear poised to do through tighter allowance budgets, reduced offsets, and other mechanisms that will drive up compliance costs for fuel suppliers—costs that will inevitably be passed on to consumers like me. California's gas prices are already among the highest in the nation, exacerbating the cost-of-living crisis for working families, commuters, and small businesses. The proposed reductions in allowance budgets (removing over 264 million allowances through 2045) and limits on offsets (capping them at 6% of compliance obligations) will accelerate decarbonization at the expense of affordability. While I support environmental goals in principle, these amendments fail to adequately protect low- and middle-income households from higher energy bills and transportation costs. The program's linkage with Québec and potential expansions do little to offset the burden on Californians, especially in areas like Lakeside CA where public transit options are limited and driving is a necessity. Furthermore, the economic impact analysis underestimates the ripple effects: a projected $124 billion in direct costs could lead to job losses in emissions-intensive industries, higher goods prices due to increased transportation fees, and reduced economic growth. Instead of imposing steeper fees disguised as market mechanisms, CARB should prioritize incentives for innovation, such as expanded tax credits for electric vehicles or subsidies for clean energy adoption, without punishing everyday drivers. I urge the Board to reject these amendments in their current form and reconsider approaches that balance climate action with economic equity. Thank you for considering my comments. Sincerely,  
Jason Walsh
