### PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY OF THE EFFECT S OF

NEW RULE 323 .1 , ARCHITECTURAL COATINGS

Project Overview :

The intent of new R ule 323.1 is to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from

c oatings used in t he painting of buildings and other structures

.

The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) expects R ule 323.1 will

reduce VOC emissions by about 98 tons per year (TPY) in planning year 2020 , thereby cleaning the air and allowing progress toward meeting state h ealth standard for ozone. The estimated 98

TPY emission reduction is in addition to the emission reduction already achieved by the existing

Rule 323.

Current Rule 323 established limits on the VOC content of architectural coatings supplied, sold, offered for sale, applied, solicited for application, or manufactured for use within the District. We propose to update the architectural coatings rule requirements in a new Rule 323.1 1 

### and ultimately phase out Rule 323. With this approach, stores can sell existing Rule 323

- compliant coatings up to three years after Rule 323.1 becomes effective.

Staff p ropose s to lower architectural coating VOC content limits for consistency with the

California Air Resour ces Board Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Architectural Coatings ( adopted October 26, 2007 ) , which other air districts have adopted and implemented

.

Objectives :

Adoption of Rule 323 .1 will fulfill emission reduction commitment s the District made in the

2010 Clean Air Plan . Once adopted, staff will submit Rule 323 .1 to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for inclusion into t he State Implementation Plan (SIP) and to EPA for an update

to the fede ral Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations.

Introduction and Background :

CARB has designated the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution District as a moderate

nonattainment area for the state 8

- hour ozone standard. Architectural coatings are a large source of volatile organic compoun d emissions in Santa Barbara County, accounting for about 500 tons in 2012 (Ref. 1). V olatile organic compound emissions cause the formation of ozone and particulate matter less than ten microns in size, two of the pollutan ts of concern in Santa Barbara County

. Rule 323.1 uses the term volatile organic compound in lieu of reactive organic compound for consistency with the 2007 ARB SCM. For all intents and purposes both terms have the same meaning.

The Distri ct originally adopted Rule 323 on October 18, 1 971, to regulate volatile organic compound emissions from the use of architectu ral coatings. Since 1971, the District has amended

.

The amendments in 1975 through 1985 revised effective dates of technology

- forcing limits and clarified language. The amendments in February 1990 revised the rule to be consistent with the

1 989 California Air Resourc es Board Suggested Control Measure. The 1995 and 1996 amendments dealt with general rule cleanup issues and expanded the list of compounds exempt from the definition of volatile organic compound. The 2001 amendment incorporated the June

2000 California Air Resources Board Suggested Control Measure VOC content limits

.

Comparisons to Adjacent Local Air Pollution Control Districts :

Air districts adjacent to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District include the San Joaquin Unified Valley Air Pollution Control District, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, and the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District.

The San Joaquin Unified Valley APCD and the Ventura County APCD incorporated the 2007

ARB SCM limits into their architectural coating rules in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The San Luis Obispo County APCD has not amended their architectural coating rule to include the 2007

ARB SCM provisions

.Santa Barbara County APCD Rule 323.1 Project 3 May 15, 2014



### Fiscal Impacts to th e Regulated Industry due to New Rule 323.1 :

According to t he 2007 ARB SCM , assuming manufacturers passed their cost increases for compliance with the SCM coating VOC limits on to consumers, the average potential increase is about $1.21 per gal lon ($1.36/gal in 2013 dollars) . Further, based on the average cost per gallon for consumers of $19.20 ($21.56/gal in 2013 dollars), the average increase in the cost per gallon would be about six percent. 1



### ARB estimated that the total annualized cost of the SCM to be $12.3 million ($13.8 millio n/year in 2013 dollars). Apportioning this figure to Santa Barbara County, the total annualized cost of the SCM is about $250,000 ($280,000/year in 2013 dollars).

The planning year 2020 VOC emission reduction due to the Rule 323 .1 is nearly 9 8 TPY ( about

0. 25 tons per day)

. T his VOC emission reduction is solely from r educing the coating VOC

. This VOC emission reduction is significant ly greater than the 32.4 tons per year predicted in the 2010 Clean Air Plan for planning year 2020

.

The following table show s the projected emission reductions for this rulemaking activity. It should be noted that the projected future emission s also take growth into consideration.

### C OST 

### E FFECTIVENESS 

### ?

Incremental cost effectiveness is intended to measure the change in costs (in dollars per year)

and emissi ons reductions (in tons reduced per year) between two progressively more effective control options or technologies. For this rule project, an incremental cost effectiveness analysis does not apply because this rule only has one control technique: reducing VOC coating limits

. This rule does not include another control option (e. g., use of add on control equipment )

. Hence, there is no progressively more effective control option to compare the reduced VOC limits to and it is not possible to perform an incremental cost effectiveness analysis.

Implications to the District Work Load and Budget :

The District anticipates the current staffing levels will be sufficient for inspections and industry outreach programs to implement the new rule provisions.

The California Air Resource Board commenced t he public review process for the 2007 SCM with the formation of an industry working group in October 2006. ARB staff held three public workshops and meetings on December 12, 2006; March 13, 2007; and June 6, 2007. T he first workshop focused on general discussions regarding the SCM update, the project timeline, and

the technical approach. At the second workshop, ARB staff presented draft VOC limits and revised definitions for several major coating categories. At the t hird workshop, ARB staff presented draft regulatory language for the entire SCM (Ref. 2)

T he District conducted a workshop on March 11, 2014

. Staff met with repr esentatives of the

Sherwin

- Williams company on March 18, 2014

.

We received extensive feedback on the March 7, 2014 draft rule. The primary concerns raised had to do with various solvent cleaning provisions incorporated into the draft rule. Considerable

feed back was received that these provisions deviated from the SCM and created complexities and hardships for compliance. After careful consideration of all input received, we r emoved the solvent cleaning provisions from the rule.

Further rationale for this chang e is provided below:

1. f or Rule 323 , t he 2010 CAP estimated about 32 TPY reductions for planning year 2020 in

total (e.g., from both solvent cleaning and coating control techniques) . The architectural coating s limits technique alone achieves about 98 tons/year for planning year 2020 , far more than projected in the CAP.Santa Barbara County APCD Rule 323.1 Project 5 May 15, 2014



### 2. Incorporating the CAP

- identified solvent cleaning limits would present conflicts with the ARB Consumer Products Regulation (amended September 24, 2009). The ARB regulation establi shed VOC content limits for solvents used for thinning, paint clean

- up, and surface preparation for painting with architectural coatings.

3. As ARB is claiming reductions under their Consumer Product Regulation, the District can no longer claim emission r eductions from reducing the VOC contents in solvents associated with the application of architectural coatings.

4. Eliminating solvent cleaning requirements in Rule 323.1 avoids the need to add

numerous ex emptions, solvent recordkeeping, and solvent clea ning enforcement procedures, which were not part of the State Suggested Control Measure. It also avoids hardships on small painting businesses.

Staff provided d raft proposed Rule 323 .1 to the Community Advisory Council (CAC) on April 30, 2014

. After h earing a staff briefing on the project on Ma y 14, 2014 , t he CAC passed a motion to recommend that the Board approve proposed R ule 323.1

G. Compliance Provisions and Test Methods

1. Calculation of VOC Content: For the purpose of determining compliance with the VOC Content

limits in Table 323.1

- 1, the VOC Content of a coating shall be determined using the procedure described in the appropriate Section C definition. The VOC Content of a tint base shall be

determin ed without colorant that is added after the tint base is manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning, the VOC Content shall be calculated for the product as supplied. If the manufacturer recommends thinning, the VOC Content shall be calcu lated including the maximum amount of thinning solvent recommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a multicomponent coating, the VOC Content shall be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If the coating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC Content shall include the VOCs emitted during curing.

2. VOC Content of Coatings: To determine the physical properties of a coating in order to perform

the calculations in the Section C definition for VOC Actual for low solids coatings or the Section

C definition for VOC Regulatory for all other architectural coatings, the reference method for VOC Content is the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, incorporated by reference in Section G.5.h, except as provided in Sections G.3 and G.4. An alternative method to determine the

VOC Content of coatings is South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 304

- 91 (Revised 1996), “Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in Various Materials,” incorporated by reference in Section G.5.i. The exempt compounds content shall be de termined by South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 303

- 91 (Revised 1996), “Determination of Exempt Compounds,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 43 (Revised 2005), “Determination of Volatile Methylsiloxanes in Solvent

- Based Coatings, Inks, and Related Materials,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 41 (Revised 2005), “Materials Containing Parachlorobenzotrifluoride,” as applicable, incorporated by reference in Sections G.5.g, G.5.e, and G.5.f, respectively . To determine the VOC Content of a coating, the manufacturer may use the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, or an alternative method as provided in Section G.3, formulation data, or any other reasonable means for predicting that the coating has be en formulated as intended (e.g., quality assurance checks, recordkeeping). However, if there are any inconsistencies between the results of a Method 24 test and any other means for determining VOC Content, the Method 24 test results will govern, except whe n an alternative method is approved as specified in Section G.3. The Control Officer may require the manufacturer to conduct a Method 24 analysis.

3. Alternative Test Methods: Other test methods demonstrated to provide results that are acceptable for purp oses of determining compliance with Section G.2, after review and approved in writing by the staffs of the District, the California Air Resources Board, and the Environmental Protection Agency, may also be used.[ Draft of May 15, 2014 ]

G. Compliance Provisions and Test Methods

1. Calculation of VOC Content: For the purpose of determining compliance with the VOC

c C ontent limits in Table 323.1

- 1, the VOC c C ontent of a coating shall be determined by using the procedure s described in Section G.1.a or G.1.b, as appropriate the appropriate Section C definition

. The VOC c C ontent of a tint base shall be determined without colorant that is added after the tint

base is manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning, the VOC Content shall be calculated for the pro duct as supplied. If the manufacturer recommends thinning, the VOC Content shall be calculated including the maximum amount of thinning solvent recommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a multicomponent coating, the VOC Content shall be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If the coating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC Content shall include the VOCs emitted during curing.[ Draft of May 15, 2014 ]

Santa Barbara County APCD Rule 323 .1 323 .1

- 22 [ date of rule adoption ] November 15, 2001

a. With the exception of low solids coatings, determine the VOC content in grams of VOC per liter of coating thinned to the manufacturer’s maximum recommendation, excluding the volume of any water and exempt compounds. Determine the VOC content using equation 1 as follows: (W
s ̶ W
w ̶ W
ec ) VOC Content = (1)

(V

m ̶ V
w ̶ V
ec )

Where:

VOC Content = grams of VOC per liter of coating

W
s = weight of volatiles, in grams

W
w = weight of water, in grams

W
ec = weight of exempt compounds, in grams

V
m = volume of coating, in liters

V
w = volume of water, in liters

b. For low solids coatings, determine the VOC content in units of grams of VOC per liter of coating thinned to the manufacturer’s maximum recommendation, includ ing the volume of any water and exempt compounds. Determine the VOC content using equation 2 as

follows: (W
s ̶ W
w ̶ W
ec ) VOC Content ls = (2)

V
m

Where:

VOC Content ls = the VOC content of a low solids coating in grams of VOC per liter of

coating

Ws = weight of volatiles, in grams

W
w = weight of water, in grams

W
ec = weight of exempt compounds, in grams

V m = volume of coating, in liters.

2. VOC Content of Coatings: To determine the physical properties of a coating in order to perform

the calculations in G.1.a and G.1.b, the the Section C definition for VOC Actual for low solids coatings or the Section C definition for VOC Regulatory for all othe r architectural coatings, the

reference method for VOC content Content is United States the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, incorporated by reference in Section G.5. k h , except as provided in Sections G.3 and

G.4. An alternative method to determin e the VOC content Content of coatings is South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 304

- 91 ( revised February Revised 1996 ) ), “Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in Various Materials,” incorporated by reference in

Section G.5. k. i. The exempt compounds content shall be determined by South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 303

- 91 (Revised August 1996), 1996), “Determination of Exempt Compounds,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 43 (Revised 2005),

“Determin ation of Volatile Methylsiloxanes in Solvent

- Based Coatings, Inks, and Related Materials,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 41 (Revised 2005), “Materials Containing Parachlorobenzotrifluoride,” as applicable, incorporated by reference in

Section Sections G.5. j. g, G.5.e, and G.5.f, respectively. To determine the VOC content Content of a coating, the manufacturer may use United States the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, or an alternative method as provided in Section G.3, formul ation data, or any other reasonable means for predicting that the coating has been formulated as intended (e.g., quality assurance checks, recordkeeping). However, if there are any inconsistencies between the results of a Method 24 test and any other mean s for determining VOC content Content , the Method 24 test results will govern, except when an alternative method is approved as specified in Section G.3. The Control Officer may require the manufacturer to conduct a Method 24 Analysis analysis

.[ Draft of May 15, 2014 ]

Santa Barbara County APCD Rule 323 .1 323 .1

- 23 [ date of rule adoption ] November 15, 2001 3.

Executive Officer.

Withi n 45 days of submittal of a complete Program, the Executive Officer shall either approve or disapprove the Program. The Program applicant and the Executive Officer may agree to an extension of time for the Executive Officer to take action on the Program.

A.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The Program shall include all necessary information for the Executive Officer to make a determination as to whether the manufacturer may comply with the averaging requirements over the specified compliance period in an enforceabl e manner. Such information shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

A.3.1 An identification of the contact persons, telephone numbers, and name of the manufacturer who is submitting the Program.

A.3.2 An identification of each coating that has been selected by the manufacturer for inclusion in this Program that exceeds the applicable VOC limit in Table 1, its VOC content specified in units of both VOC actual and VOC regulatory, and the designation of the coating category.[ Draft of May 15, 2014 ]

Santa Barbara County APCD Rule 323 32 3

- 19 November 15, 2001

A.3.3 A detailed demonstration showing that the projected actual emissions will not exceed the allowable emissions for a single compliance period that the Program will be in effec t. In addition, the demonstration shall include VOC content information for each coating that is below the compliance limit in Table 1. The demonstration shall use the equation specified in subsection A.1 of this Appendix for projecting the actual emissi ons and allowable emissions during each compliance period. The demonstration shall also include all VOC content levels and projected volume sold within the State for each coating listed in the Program during each compliance period. The requested data can be

summarized in a matrix form.

A.3.4 A specification of the compliance period(s) and applicable reporting dates. The length of the compliance period shall not be more than one year or less than six months.

A.3.5 An identification and description of all records to be made available to the Executive Officer upon request, if different than those identified under subsection A.3.6.

A.3.6 An identification and description of specific records to be used in calculating emissions for the Program and subsequent re porting, and a detailed explanation as to how those records will be used by the manufacturer to verify compliance with the averaging requirements.

A.3.7 A statement signed by a responsible party for the manufacturer, that all information

submitted is true and correct, and that records will be made available to the Executive Officer upon request.

A.4 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

A.4.1 For every single compliance period, the manufacturer shall submit a mid

- term report listing all coatings subject to averaging dur ing the first half of the compliance period, detailed analysis of the actual and allowable emissions at the end of the mid

- term, and an explanation as to how the manufacturer intends to achieve compliance by the end of the compliance period. The report sh all be signed by the responsible party for the manufacturer, attesting that all information submitted is true and correct. The mid

- term report shall be submitted within 45 days after the midway date of the compliance period. A manufacturer may request, i n writing, an extension of up to 14 days for submittal of the

mid

- term report.

A.4.2 Within 60 days after the end of the compliance period or upon termination of the Program, whichever is sooner, the manufacturer shall submit to the Executive Officer a

re port listing all coatings subject to averaging during the compliance period, providing a

detailed demonstration of the balance between the actual and allowable emissions for the compliance period, any identification and description of specific records used by the manufacturer to verify compliance with the averaging requirement, and any other information requested by the Executive Officer to determine whether the manufacturer complied with the averaging requirements over the specified compliance period. The report shall be signed by the responsible party for the manufacturer, attesting that all information submitted is true and correct, and that records will be made available to the Executive Officer upon request. A manufacturer may request, in writing, an extension of up to 30 days for submittal of the final report.

A .5 RENEWAL OF A PROGRAM

A Program automatically expires at the end of the compliance period. The manufacturer may request a renewal of the Program by submitting a renewal request that shall include an updated Program, meeting all applicable Program requirements. The renewal requ est will be considered conditionally approved until the Executive Officer makes a final decision to deny or approve the renewal request based on a determination of whether the manufacturer is likely to comply with the averaging requirements. The Executive Officer shall base such determination on all available information, including but not limited to, the mid

- term and the final reports of the preceding compliance period. The Executive Officer shall make a decision to deny or approve a renewal[ Draft of May 15, 2014 ]

Santa Barbara County APCD Rule 323 32 3

- 20 November 15, 2001

request no l ater than 45 days from the date of the final report submittal, unless the manufacturer and the Executive Officer agree to an extension of time for the Executive Officer to take action on the renewal request.

A.6 MODIFICATION OF A PROGRAM

A Manufacturer m ay request a modification of the Program at any time prior to the end of the compliance period. The Executive Officer shall take action to approve or disapprove the modification request no longer than 45 days from the date of its submittal. No modificati on of the compliance period shall be allowed. A Program need not be modified to specify additional coatings to be averaged that are below the applicable VOC limits.

A.7 TERMINATION OF A PROGRAM

A.7.1 A manufacturer may terminate its Program at any time by filing a written notification to the Executive Officer. The filing date shall be considered the effective date of the termination, and all other provisions of this rule including the VOC limits shall immediately thereafter apply. The manufacturer shal l also submit a final report 60 days after the termination date. Any exceedance of the actual emissions over the allowable emissions over the period that the Program was in effect shall constitute a separate violation for each day of the entire compliance period.

A.7.2 The Executive Officer may terminate a Program if any of the following circumstances

occur:

A.7.2.1 The manufacturer violates the requirements of the approved Program, and at

the end of the compliance period, the actual emissions exceed the allowable

emissions.

A.7.2.2 The manufacturer demonstrates a recurring pattern of violations and has

consistently failed to take the necessary steps to correct those violations.

A.8 CHANGE IN VOC LIMITS

If the VOC limits of a coating listed in the Program are amended such that its effective date is less than one year from the date of adoption, the affected manufacturer may base its averaging on the prior limits of that coating until the end of the compliance period immediately following the date

of adoption.

A.9 LABELING

Each container of any coating that is included in Averaging Program, and that exceeds the applicable VOC limit in Table 1 shall display the following statement: “This product is subject to architectural coatings averaging provisio n in California.” A symbol specified by the Executive Officer may be used as a substitute.

A.10 VIOLATIONS

The exceedance of the allowable emissions for any compliance period shall constitute a separate violation of each day of the compliance period. H owever, any violation of the requirements of the Averaging Provision of this rule, which the violator can demonstrate, to the Executive Officer, did not cause or allow the emission of an air contaminant and was not the result of negligent or knowing activi ty may be considered a minor violation.[ Draft of May 15, 2014 ]

. the appropriate Section C

definition. The VOC c onten t Content of a tint base shall be determined without colorant that is

added after the tint base is manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning, the

VOC Content m u st shall be calculated for the product as supplied. If the manufacturer recommends thinning, the VOC Content m u st shall be calculated including the maximum amount of thinning solvent recommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a m u l t i

- c o m ponen t

p r odu c t multic omponent coating , the VOC c onten t m u st Content shall be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If the coating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC c onten t m u st Content shall inclu de the VOCs emitted during curing.

8. 2

. VOC Content of Coatings: To determine the physical properties of a coating in order to perform

the calculations in subsection 4.64 or 4.66 the Section C definiti o n for VOC Actual for low solids coatings or the Section C definition for VOC Regulatory for all other architectural coatings , the

reference method for VOC c C ontent is U.S. EPA the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, incorporated by reference in subsection 8.5.9 Section G.5.h , except as provided in subsections

8.3 and 8.4 Sections G.3 and G.4 . An alternative method to determine the VOC c C ontent of coatings is SCAQMD South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 304

and 8.5.7 Section s G.5.g, G.5.e, and G.5.f , respectively. To determine the VOC c C ontent of a coating, the manufacturer may use U.S. EPA the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, or an alternative method as provided in subsection 8.3 Section G.3 , formulation data, or any other

reasonable means for predicting that the coating has been formulated as intended (e.g., quality assurance checks, record keeping). However, if there are any inconsistencies between the results of a Method 24 test and any other means for determining VOC c C ontent, the Method 24 test results will govern, except when an alternative method is approved as specified in subsection 8.3

Section G.3 . The District Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO) may require the manufacturer to conduct a Method 24 analysis.

8. 3

. Alternative Test Methods: Other test methods demonstrated to provide results that are acceptable for purposes of determining compliance with s ub s e c t i o n 8 Section G .2, after review and approved in writing by the staffs of the District, the A R B California Air Resources Board , and the U .S

. A PP L I C A B I L I TY (A

. Applicability) 2. Rule 323.1 shall be effective on January 1, 2015. The 2007 Air Resources Board Suggested Control Measure for Architectural Coatings (2007 ARB SCM)

does not include a rule effective date

.

Staff added t he January 1, 2015 effective date at the request of a stakeholder. If the District adopts Rule

323.1 befo re July, manufacturers assured us that they will have enough lead

- time for complying with the new requirements

.
1

. A PP L I C A B I L I TY (A

. Applicability) 3. Rule 323, Architectural Coatings, shall remain in effect in its entirety until January 1, 2015

. A coating manufactured prior to January 1, 2015 may be sold, supplied, or offered for sale for up to three years after January 1, 2015 , pr ovided that the coating complied, at the time of manufacture, with all applicable provisions in Rule 323 as revised November 15, 2001. Such coating may also be applied at any time, both before and after January 1, 2015 . This Section does not apply to any coating that

do es not display the date or date code required b y Section E.1.a

of this rule. The District copied the D.3 sell

- through of coatings provision into A.1 at the request of stakeholder.

For ease of reference, we will maintain an archived

version of Rule 323 on our web site after it has been superseded.

. A “Severability” provision in Rule 323.1 is not necessary because the rulebook includes Rule 103, “Severability,” which indicates:

If any Rule or any portion of a Rule is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such finding shall

have no effect on the enforceability of the remaining Rules and/or portions of Rules, which shall continue to

be in full force and effect.

3. EXE M P T IO NS ( B. Exemptions ) 3. 2

. With the exception of s e c t i o n 7 Section F , this rule doe s shall not apply to any architectural coating tha t is sold in a container with a volume of one liter (1.057 q ua r t quarts ) or less

. provided:

a. The coating containers are not bundled together to be sold as a unit that exceeds one liter (1.057 quarts), excluding containers packed together for shipping to a retail outlet, warehouse, or a military distribution or redistribution facility. The ARB sug gested that the District model this revised

one liter exemption on the SCAQMD Rule 1113, § (f)(1) bundling provisions. B ased on stakeholder feed back,

staff deleted Section B.2.b text from the March 7 draft, which had prohibited suggesting the combination of multiple containers on label s and product data

Provision

3. EXE M P T IO NS ( B. Exemptions ) 3. Any architectural coating operation that is not conducted as part of a business is exempt from the requirements of Section D.4 of

this rule. This was a dded to make the applicability of painting practices consistent with those found in other District

rules

.
3. EXE M P T IO NS ( B. Exemptions ) 4. Early Rule 323.1 compliance provision:

Prior to January 1, 2015, any coating that meets the definition in Section C for a coating category listed in Table 323.1

- 1 and complies with the corresponding VOC limit in Table 323.1

- 1

and with the Most Restrictiv e VOC limit in Section D.2 and the corresponding Labeling Requirement in Section E, if applicable, shall be considered in compliance with this rule and exempt

from Rule 323. At least three coatings have higher VOC content limits

in Rule 323.1: Reactive Penetrating Sealers, Stone Consolidants, and Tub and Tile Refinish Coatings. By adding an early compliance provision, manufacturers will gain the advantage of being able to immediately market higher VOC content products consistent with the

2007 ARB SCM.

3. EXE M P T IO NS ( B. Exemptions ) 5

. With the exception of Sections E and F, this rule shall not apply

The ablative char surface serves as an insulative barrier, protecting underlying coating s or surface s from the heat or open flame. A stakeholder requested we add this definition, the term

to Table 323.1

- 1 as a specialty coating, and a 250 grams/liter VOC Content limit for it. T he Industrial Maintenance Coating category has a similar limit

VOCs. Exempt compounds content of a coating shall be determined by U.S. EPA Environmental Protection Agency Method 24 or South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) M ethod 303

- 91 (Revised 199 3 6 ), “Determination of Exempt Compounds,” [. . .] The District drafted this text to be similar to the Rule 102 definition of “Exempt Compound” (sans the text on how exempt compounds content is determined). The

Specialty Primers, Sealers, and Undercoaters must be labeled

in accordance with subsection 6.1.7

. For all intents and purposes, the SCM could have indicated that this category was being deleted effective 01/01/2012. According to the SCM, on 01/01/2012:

1. The Table 1 VOC limit for “Specialty Primers, Sealers, and Undercoaters” becomes 100 g/l; which is

t he same limit as “Primers, Sealers, and Undercoaters;”

and

2. The labeling requirements in §6.1.7 for “Specialty Primers, Sealers, and Undercoaters” end on 01/01/2012
