Cap-and-Invest Stakeholder Feedback
DEC and NYSERDA will continue offering opportunities for input as we develop regulations to implement a cap-and-invest program and plan for the use of proceeds in the Climate Investment Account.
Mandatory Reporting Rule
Informational Webinars for Stakeholders
DEC will be holding two public information sessions on proposed Part 253, the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting rule, on Thursday, May 15. Please note, these sessions are solely for informational purposes and do not constitute public hearings pursuant to the State Administrative Procedure Act. These presentations will be recorded and available for the public to view on DEC’s website following the information sessions as soon as practicable.
The purpose of these informational sessions is to provide stakeholders with an overview of the proposed regulation and to provide guidance on how and where to submit comments. To aid in the development of the session and to better inform the presentation and stakeholders’ understanding of the proposal, DEC will accept clarifying questions through May 8, 2025. Questions can be submitted to [email protected].
Please note: Public comments will not be taken during the stakeholder informational sessions. Persons interested in submitting oral public comments may do so in person at the public comment hearings scheduled.
