Pathways for Public Comments

Section 95488.7(d) of the LCFS Regulation requires that Tier 2 applications be posted for public comments before they can be certified by the CARB Executive Officer. Such pathways will be posted for public comments for a period of ten business days. At the end of the comment period, staff will review posted comments and if deemed substantive, request a formal response from the applicant. If the response from the applicant is deemed adequate, staff will recommend certifying the pathway. If deemed inadequate, the pathway application will be denied and the applicant may submit a new application for future consideration. In addition, section 95488.5(d) of the LCFS Regulation provides for an annual update to Lookup Table pathways for electricity. The CA-GREET3.0 model inputs and data sources used to calculate the annual update to the CA Average Grid Electricity CI will be posted for 45 days for public comment prior to certification. Public comments, applicant responses, and staff recommendations will be available on this webpage:
