The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) will hold a public hearing to consider the adoption of amendments that specify the types of international greenhouse gas offset projects that would qualify to demonstrate compliance with the carbon dioxide emission standards of 310 CMR 7.29 should MassDEP expand the geographic scope of eligible projects beyond the United States. MassDEP is also proposing modifications to the Offset Trigger provision that specifies how MassDEP will evaluate it in 2008. These amendments do not affect 310 CMR 7.70, Massachusetts Carbon Dioxide Budget Trading Program. The hearing will be held March 6, 2008. Comments are due March 18, 2008. http://www.mass.gov/dep/public/hearings/ebtaphn.htm.
