an June 26, 2008, the ARB approved, and subsequently adopted after a 15-day public comment period, amendmentstothe existing Consumer Products Regulation. The Consumer Products Regulation was amended by adding and modifying product category definitions and by establishing new or lowervac limits for 19 product categories. For some ofthe categories, separate vac limits are specified fordifferent productforms making atotal of25 limits. All ofthese vac limits, except one, are specified as percent by weightvac. Forfabric softener products used in clothes dryers, a gram ofvac per use limitwas adopted. An additional amendment removedthe "grandfather" clause that pertains to Personal Fragrance Productswith 20 percent or less fragrance. Removal ofthis clause requires all Personal Fragrance Productswith 20 percent or lessfragrance to meet a single vac limit. The newor modified vac limits become effective between December 31,2010, and December 31,2015. The adopted regulatory action also prohibitsthe use ofthree HazardousAir Pollutants (HAPs), methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene in the following product categories: "Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner," "Fabric Protectant," "Multi-Purpose Lubricant," "Penetrant," "Sealant or Caulking Compound," and "Spot Remover." Use ofmethylene chloride and perchloroethylene are also prohibited in "Pressurized Gas Duster" products. The Board also adopted a modification to the definition ofvac. This modification excludes hydrofluoroether7200 from the definition based on its negligible impacts on ground-level ozone formation. In addition, a number ofother modifications or clarifications were made to the existing regulatory language. These include modificationsto product datecoding, requirements, product "sell-through" provisions, requirements for dilutable products, reporting requirements for "Multi-Purpose Lubricant" and "Penetrant" products, and additional labeling requirements for certain specified categories

### V. OTHER REQUIREMENTS Other Emissions Limits in Sections: The adopted HAPrroxicAir Contaminant prohibitions are intended to reduce toxic health risks to the public. However, the prohibitions are also importantto the regulation ofvacs in consumer products. Trichloroethylene is c1assi'fied as avac. However, perchloroethylene and methylene chloride are both classified as VaC-exempt compounds (non-VaCs). The prohibitions oftheir usewill ensurethat consumer product manufacturers do not choose to reformulate with either ofthesetwo toxic compounds as substitutes to replace conventionalvac solvents, in response to meeting the lowervac limitsfor certain product categories as required by the 2008 RegulatoryActions. 2008 Regulatory Action: Section 94509(p). Prohibition ofmethylene chloride, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene in the following product categories: "Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner," "Fabric Protectant," "Multi-Purpose Lubricant," "Penetrant," "Sealantor CaUlking Compound," and "Spot Remover." Use of methylene chloride and perchloroethylene are also prohibited in "Pressurized Gas Duster" products. The prohibition on the use ofpechloroethylene, methylene chloride, and trichloroethylene in six product categories and the prohibition ofthe use of pechloroethylene and methylene chloride in Pressurized Gas Dusterswill reduce the emission of HAPs by 0.2 ton per day in 2010. 

### Work Practice Standards in Sections: Not applicable. 

### Recordkeeping Requirements In Sections: Not applicable.
