The Branch Chief plans, manages, and directs the activities of multiple sections responsible for designing and implementing the State's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), an early action measure under Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.  At the second supervisory level, the Branch Chief oversees the program and regulatory update process, the evaluations of carbon intensities of fuel pathways using fuel life cycle analyses, crediting of zero emission vehicle fueling infrastructure, overseeing the monitoring and reporting of regulated parties, and implementing other aspects of the LCFS.  As the program has a market component, the branch chief also oversees monitoring and tracking of trends in fuel prices, LCFS credit prices, and credit trading activity.  This position is subject to a background check, including felony convictions and credit, because this Branch Chief may have access to highly sensitive LCFS market information and/or the ability to electronically control such information.

About the LCFS: The LCFS is a key part of a comprehensive set of programs in California to cut GHG emissions and other smog-forming and toxic air pollutants by improving vehicle technology, reducing fuel consumption, and increasing transportation mobility options.  The LCFS is designed to decrease the carbon intensity of California's transportation fuel pool and provide an increasing range of low-carbon and renewable alternatives, which reduce petroleum dependency and achieve air quality benefits.
