California Air Resources Board

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is soliciting feedback from the public to inform our work to reduce methane emissions from the dairy and livestock sector. Responses to this solicitation will inform CARB's approach to implementing Senate Bill (SB) 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016) and responding to Board direction in Resolution 24-14 (Resolution). SB 1383 establishes short-lived climate pollutant reduction targets including a methane emissions reduction target for the dairy and livestock sector of 40% below 2013 levels by 2030. CARB Board Resolution 24-14 directs staff to prepare a plan for initiating, developing, proposing, and implementing a livestock methane regulation pursuant to the requirements of SB 1383.

The solicitation seeks public input and information on evaluating methane emissions data, methane mitigation strategies, and potential regulatory approaches for the dairy and livestock sector. Public comments will be accepted through March 30, 2026.
