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

Rule 67.0, first adopted in 1977, regulates volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from the manufacture, 

sale, and use of architectural coatings which include a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial paints, 

stains, varnishes, and other coatings. The amended rule replaces the rule that was approved into the SIP on 

March 27, 1997. The amendments add 19 new coating categories and reduce the allowable VOC content limits 

for 18 coating categories on January 1, 2003, and one coating category on January 1, 2004. In addition, container 

labeling specifications (e.g. date of manufacture code, VOC content, thinning recommendations) and 

manufacturer reporting requirements for selected coating categories have been added and various definitions and 

test methods updated. A sell-through provision allows coatings manufactured before the applicable compliance 

dates in the rule to be sold and applied for up to three years after the applicable date. A temporary emissions 

averaging program added to the rule that allowed manuafacturers to comply with the new VOC content limits by a 

statewide average from January 2003 through 2005 has now expired.

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: When adopted in 2001, the rule's estimated fully implemented emission reduction was 1.5 tons per day based

on an emission inventory of 10.33 tons per day for the 2000 emission inventory year and a 15% control factor. The SIP 

commitment is based on a 1.4 ton per day reduction from 2002 to 2008 based on the 2002 emission inventory, as revised 

in 2007, of 11.98 tons per day and the estimated 2008 emission inventory of 10.54 tons per day.
