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

Rule 339 (Revised): Rule 339 was revised per the 2007 Clean Air Plan commitment for the Santa Barbara 

County Air Pollution Control (APCD) to adopt the Air Resources Board Suggested Control Measure (SCM) to 

control volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from coating and solvents associated with the coating of 

motor vehicles, mobile equipment, and associated parts and components. The rule revision includes the SCM 

coating and solvent VOC limits. However, the APCD included an exemption for presanding solvent to remove 

grease, wax, and road tar. This exemption includes a limit of 20 gallons per year per facility. Staff worked closely 

with industry and have concluded that this exemption will enable auto body shop staff to produce an excellent 

paint finish without the risk of having to re-do the paint job. This rule also includes an annual reporting 

requirement that previously existed in Rule 339. This annual report process will enable the APCD to verify the 

compliance with this exemption as well as the solvent and coating limit requirements of this rule.

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

 (CO) PM TAC (name): _ 

II. EFFECT ON EMISSIONS

Complete this section ONLY for rules that, when implemented, will result in quantifiable changes in emissions. Attach reference(s) for emission factor(s) 

and other information. Attach calculation sheet showing how the emission information provided below was determined. 

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase √ Decrease N/A 

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Source Category: 0.1404 tons/day or 51 tons/year of ROG

Inventory Year Used to Calculate Changes in Emissions: 2002 Area Affected: Santa Barbara County

Future Year Control Profile Estimate (Provide information on as many years as possible): 

There are approximately 70 permitted facilities (known) that will be subject to this revised rule. From these existing 

subject facilities, a total 51 tons per year ROG emissions reductions will be achieved by the year 2010.
