Chapter 173-446B WAC – Climate Commitment Act Funds Reporting
We propose a new rule Chapter 173-446B WAC, Climate Commitment Act Funds Reporting. The rule will establish reporting requirements for recipients that receive cap-and-invest auction revenue, so we can complete annual reports to the Legislature, as required by the Climate Commitment Act (RCW 70A.65.300).
This rulemaking may consider:
- Defining what, when, and how recipients must report their expenditures to us.
- Outlining the process to:
- Determine whether a project reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
- Calculate the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions reduced.
