Livestock Methane Regulation Question

It seems possible that a Livestock Methane Regulation could come into force in the next couple of years and before the next LCFS rulemaking. Can you please provide guidance on how the program would respond to a Livestock Methane Regulation as per SB 1383?

1) Would a regulation requiring reduced methane emissions on dairies affect Avoided Methane crediting because some avoided methane would no longer be additional?

2) Would crediting change for existing credit pathways? Or would it only affect new and renewed credit pathways?

3) In judging the additionality of avoided methane emissions from non-California dairies, would California regulations be used as a baseline, or would a dairy's respective local and state level methane regulations be used as a baseline?

Thank you
