On behalf of RRI Energy, Inc., we would like to submit the
following comment to the CARB Board on the proposal to withdraw
Board approval of the Climate Action Registry (CAR)’s voluntary
offset protocols:

For companies working now to develop a portfolio of compliance
instruments, the Board’s pending action, whether intentional or
not, creates a great amount of uncertainty.  Therefore, CARB should
clearly describe the differences between each of the existing
“approved” CAR voluntary protocols and protocols CARB will accept
to create compliance-grade offsets for AB 32.  CARB should also
indicate when such compliance-grade protocols will be adopted.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (713)
423-7326, or Brian McQuown of RRI Energy at (702) 407-4861.

Thank you,

Myriam (McChargue) Mills
