Comment: Feedback on 1 Year Projects Utilizing Tonne Year Accounting

Proposed Change: · Landowner will be less likely sign up for projects with a 30-100-yr lifetime and obligation (which create more certain long-term climate benefits) if there is the chance to get money for a 1-yr deferral (which is likely not really a deferral at all given how difficult it is to map out exact areas that would be harvested).

NCX response: We believe that this methodology does not necessarily incentivize shorter term projects over longer term projects, it simply provides the option of shorter-term projects. Landowners may still freely choose to participate in 30-100 year projects under different methodologies.
