An ACO Prog ram automatically expires at the end of the compliance period. The manufacturer may request a renewal of the ACO Program by submitting a renewal request that shall include an updated ACO Program, meeting all applicable ACO Program requirements. The renew al request 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 Ex ecutive Officer shall base such determination on all available information, including but not limited to, the mid

- term and final reports of the preceding compliance period. The Executive Officer shall make a decision to deny or approve a renewal request

emissions exc eed the allowable emissions. (b) The manufacturer demonstrates a recurring pattern of violations and has consistently failed to take the necessary steps to correct
those violations.

(H) Change in VOC Limits

If the VOC limits of a coating listed in the ACO 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 adoptio n.

(I) Labeling

Each container of any coating that is included in an ACO Program, and that exceeds the applicable VOC limit in the Table of Standards shall display the following statement: “This product is subject to the averaging provisions of SCAQMD Rule 11 13”. A symbol specified by the Executive Officer may be used
as a substitute.

(J) Violations

The exceedance of the allowable emissions, as defined in Appendix A, Section (A), at the end of any compliance period shall constitute a separate violation for each g allon of each coating product line that is over the VOC limit specified in the Table of Standards for each day of the compliance period. However, any violation of the requirements of the ACO Provision of this rule, which the violator can demonstrate, to t he Executive Officer, did not cause or allow the emission ofRule 1113 (Cont.)
