Attn: California Air Resources Board - Early Action Measures

On behalf of the Climate Protection Campaign, I would like to
submit the attached comments (word document) on Early Action
Measures.  We recommend CARB adopt an additional early action: a
carbon permit fee, which would help fund CARB's important work in
implementing AB32.  The fee would also help CARB gain experience
in administering charges, which may be useful in a future
economywide cap and trade (auction) system for California.  We
also suggest CARB conduct a study on per capita consumer
compensation, as an environmental justice approach and as a way to
alleviate the economic impacts of fuel price increases.  As
background, the comment also includes a summary of our comments to
the Market Advisory Committee.

Thank you for your consideration.
