a mid

- term report listi ng all coatings subject to averaging during the first half of the compliance period, detailed analysis of the actual and
allowable emissions at the end of the mid

- term, and an explanation as to how the manufacturer intends to achieve compliance by the end of the compliance period. The report shall be signed by the responsible party for the manufacturer, attesting that all information submitted is true
and correct. The mid

- term report shall be submitted within 45 days after the midway date of the complianc e period. A manufacturer may request, in writing, an extension of up to 15 days for submittal of the mid

- term report.

End of Compliance Period/Termination of Program Report: Within 60 days after the end of the compliance period or upon termination of th e Program, whichever is sooner, the manufacturer shall submit to the Executive Officer a report listing all coatings subject to averaging during the compliance period, providing a detailed
demonstration of the balance between the actual
and allowable emiss ions for the compliance period, any identification and description of specific records used by the manufacturer to verify compliance with the averaging requirement, and any other information requested by the

the mid

- term and the final reports of the preceding compliance period. The Executive Officer shall make a decision to deny or approve a renewal request n o later than 45 days from the date of the final report submittal, unless the manufacturer and the Executive Officer agree to an extension of time for the
Executive Officer to take action on the renewal request.

C.6 Modification Of A Program: A manufacturer m ay request a modification of the Program at any time prior to the end of the compliance period. The Executive Officer shall take action to approve or disapprove the modification request no longer than 45 days from the

C.7.b. T he Executive Officer may terminate a Program if any of the following circumstances

occur: C.7.b.1 The manufacturer violates the requirements

of the approved Program, and at the end of the compliance period, the actual emissions
exceed the allowable emissions.

pattern of violations and has consistently failed to take the necessary steps to
correct those violations.

C.8 Change In VOC Limits : If the VOC limits of a coating listed in the Program are amended such that its
effectiv e 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 adoption.

C.9 Labeling: Each container of any coating that is included in averaging program, and that exceeds the applicable VOC limit in the table in Section C.1 of this Rule shall display the following statement: "This product is subject to architectural coatings averaging p rovisions in California.” A symbol specified by the Executive Officer may be used as a
substitute.

C.10 Violations: The exceedance of the allowable emissions for any compliance period shall constitute a separate violation for each day of the compliance perio d. However, any violation of the requirements of the Averaging Provision of this Rule, which the violator can demonstrate, to the Executive Officer, did not
cause or allow the emission of an air contaminant and was not the result of negligent or knowing ac tivity may be considered a minor violation.

C.11 Sunset Of Averaging Provision: The averaging provision set forth in this Section F shall cease to be effective on January 1, 2005, after which averaging will no longer be allowed.Feather River AQMD Page 3.15
