California Interfaith Power and Light supports the timely
implementation of the Cap and Trade program and commends ARB on the
release of the proposed regulation.  We support many of the
provisions and find that others need to be strengthened.  We oppose
ARB's excessive reliance on free allocations for the electricity
sector.  We support ARB's proposal for full auction in the
transportation sector beginning in 2015.  CIPL opposes the wide use
of offsets as it will do nothing to improve air quality in
communities where large polluters using offsets are located.  CIPL
also urges ARB to provide specific direction for the Community
Benefits Fund and to set aside at least four percent of allowances
from the industrial and electricity sectors at the beginning of the
Cap and Trade program.  Our more extensive comments are attached. 
Thank you for your consideration.
