Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule 

Amendments to Rule 4653 would implement RACT pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act by incorporating sealants 

to rule language and by amending VOC content limits for adhesives as stringent as those in other air districts in 

California. Details of the proposed amendments to Rules 4653 are discussed in Section III of the final draft staff 

report.

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: Rule 4653 is intended to reduce VOC emissions from the the adhesives and sealants source cateogry by

specifying material VOC content limits or emission control requirements, and work practices. There is a 18% reduction

from emissions baseline resulting from the amendments to Rule 4653. These rule amendments, are necessary to satisfy 

federal RACT requirements.
