applicable to printing operations not included in the current rule that pertain to the overall add-on control device 

efficiency and VOC content requirements for fountain solutions. The proposed amendment further adds 

prohibition of storage of non-compliant VOC-containing materials at a worksite, removes obsolete rule 

language, updates definitions for consistency with other SCAQMD rules, adds a rule exemption for graphic arts 

materials that have a VOC content of no more than 10 g/L, as applied, and makes minor corrections and 

clarifications. 

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOX) SO2

– for storage of any Graphic Arts material at a worksite for use in the District which contains VOCs in excess of 

the VOC content limits specified in paragraph (c)(1); Aligning the rules capture and control equipment 

efficiencies with the U.S. EPA Control Techniques Guidelines for Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress 

Printing (EPA 453/R-06-002) and Flexible Package Printing (EPA 453/R-06-003) recommended efficiencies of 90% 

capture and 95% control efficiencies.
