### STAFF REPORT Rule 1174 – Control Of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From The Ignition Of Barbecue Charcoal

I. PURPOSE OF STAFF REPORT A staff report serves several discrete purposes. I ts primary purpose is to provide a summary and background material to the members of the Governing Board. This allows the members of the Governing Board to be fully informed before making any required decision. It also provides the documentation necessary for the Governing Board to make any findings, which are required by law to be made prior to the approval or adoption of a docu ment. In addition, a staff report ensures that the correct procedures and proper documentation for app roval or adoption of a document have been performed. Finally, the staff report provides evid ence for defense against legal challenges regarding the propriety of the approval or adoption of the do cument.

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On July 1, 1997 the Antelope Valley Air Pollution C ontrol District (AVAPCD) was created pursuant to statute (former H&S Code §40106, A.B. 266-Knight Ch. 542, statutes of 1996) and assumed all air pollution control responsibilities from the South C oast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for the area of Los Angeles County outside the Sout h Coast Air Basin. The SCAQMD rules in effect within the jurisdiction of the AVAPCD remained in e ffect until the AVAPCD Governing Board superceded, amended, or rescinded them. On January 1, 2002 the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) was created pursuant t o statute (H&S Code §41300 et seq.) to replace the AVAPCD. Once again the rules in effect at the time of the change remained in effect until the AVAQMD Governing Board superceded, amended or r escinded them. SCAQMD adopted Rule 1174 on October 5, 1990. Rule 1174 as adopted by S CAQMD on October 5, 1990 is the effective rule in the AVAQMD Rule Book
Rule 1174 is proposed for rescission to remove a du plicative rule because the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Pr otection Agency (USEPA) have adopted regulations for the control of Volatile Organic Com pound (VOC) emissions from the ignition of barbecue charcoal that address the same content as AVAQMD Rule 1174. Rule 1174 can be rescinded, as it is duplicative of state and federa l regulations and places a redundant regulation on this

source. Rule 1174 is a State Implementation Plan (SIP) rule . Removal from the SIP will not cause any increase in emissions since the state and federal c onsumer product regulations are equally stringent f or this source, and the CARB consumer products rule is also SIP approved.

III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Governing Board of the AV AQMD adopt, after conducting a public hearing, a resolution approving the rescission of R ule 1174 - Control Of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From The Ignition Of Barbecue Charcoal.
The Governing Board of the Antelope Valley Air Qual ity Management District rescinded Rule 1174 on November 20. 2012.2 AVAQMD Rule 1174 Final Staff Report, 01/24/13 IV. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST

Final Staff Report, 01/24/13 V. DISCUSSION OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
A. REQUIRED ELEMENTS/FINDINGS

This section discusses the State of California stat utory requirements that apply to the proposed rescission of Rule 1174. These are actions, that n eed to be performed, and/or information, that must be provided in order to amend the Rule in a pr ocedurally correct manner.
1. State Findings Required for Adoption of Rules & Regulations:
Before adopting, amending, or repealing a rule or r egulation, the AVAQMD Governing Board is required to make findings of necessity, au thority, clarity, consistency, nonduplication, and reference based upon relevant info rmation presented at the hearing. The information below is provided to assist the Boa rd in making these findings.
a. Necessity:
The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 is necessary t o remove a rule that is duplicative of a SIP approved state consumer produc ts rule as well as federal regulations, thereby placing a redundant regulation on this source.
b. Authority:
AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to California Hea lth and Safety Code (H&S Code) §40702 to adopt, amend or repeal rules a nd regulations.
c. Clarity:
The proposed rescission is clear in that it is writ ten so that the persons subject to the rule can easily understand why the rule is bein g rescinded.
d. Consistency:
The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 is in harmony with, and not in conflict with or contradictory to, any state law or regulati on, federal law or regulation, or court decisions because this rescission removes a r ule that is duplicative of a SIP approved state consumer products rule as well as fe deral regulations.
e. Non-duplication:
The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 removes a rule that is duplicative of a SIP approved state consumer products rule and federal r egulations, and thereby does not impose the same requirements as an existing sta te or federal law or regulation.4 AVAQMD Rule 1174 Final Staff Report, 01/24/13 f. Reference:
AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code §4070 2 to adopt, amend or repeal rules and regulations.
g. Public Notice & Comment, Public Hearing:
Notice for the public hearing for the proposed resc ission of Rule 1174 was published 10/9/2012. See Appendix “B” for a copy o f the public notice. See Appendix C for copies of comments, if any, and AVAQ MD responses.
2. Federal Elements (SIP Submittals, Other Federal Submittals).
Submittals to USEPA are required to include various elements depending upon the type of document submitted and the underlying federal la w which requires the submittal. The information below indicates which elements are required for the proposed rescission of Rule 1174 and how they were satisfied

. a. Satisfaction of Underlying Federal Requirements:
The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 is subject to all the requirements for a SIP submittal because Rule 1174 is included in the AVAQ MD SIP. The AVAQMD will be requesting that CARB ask USEPA to remove Ru le 1174 from the SIP since this rule is duplicative of the SIP approved CARB consumer products rule.

b. Public Notice and Comment:
Notice for the public hearing for the proposed resc ission of Rule 1174 was published 10/9/2012. See Appendix “B” for a copy o f the public notice.
c. Availability of Document:
Copies of the proposed rescinded Rule 1174 and the accompanying draft staff report was made available to the public on 10/04/20 12.
d. Notice to Specified Entities
Copies of the proposed rescinded Rule 1174 and the accompanying draft staff report was mailed to all affected agencies, includi ng but not limited to CARB and USEPA on 10/04/2012.
e. Public Hearing:
A public hearing to consider the proposed rescissio n of Rule 1174 was conducted on 11/20/2012.AVAQMD Rule 1174 5

Final Staff Report, 01/24/13

f. Legal Authority to Adopt and Implement:
The AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code § 40702 to adopt, amend, or repeal rules and regulations and to do su ch acts as may be necessary or proper to execute the duties imposed upon the AV AQMD.
g. Applicable State Laws and Regulations Were Follo wed:
Public notice and hearing procedures pursuant to H& S Code §§40725-40728 have been followed. See Section (V)(A)(1) above fo r compliance with state findings required pursuant to H&S Code §40727. See Section (V)(B) below for compliance with the required analysis of existing r equirements pursuant to H&S Code §40727.2. See Section (V)(C) for compliance w ith economic analysis requirements pursuant to H&S Code §40920.6. See Se ction (V)(D) below for compliance with provisions of the California Enviro nmental Quality Act (CEQA).
B. WRITTEN ANALYSIS OF EXISTING REQUIREMENTS
H&S Code §40727.2 requires air districts to prepare a written analysis of all existing federal air pollution control requirements that apply to the sa me equipment or source type as the rule proposed for rescission by the District. The propo sed rescission of Rule 1174 removes a rule which is duplicative of a SIP approved CARB Consume r Products Regulation (17 CCR 94507 et seq.), as well as EPA’s national consumer produc ts rule (40 CFR 59), thereby placing a redundant regulation on this source. Therefore, th e preparation of a written analysis of existing pollution control requirements that apply to the sa me equipment or source type is not required.

C. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

1. General
There is no economic impact anticipated by the resc ission of Rule 1174. Any source subject to the provisions of this rule is currently regulated by the CARB consumer products rule and federal regulations.

2. Incremental Cost Effectiveness
Pursuant to H&S Code §40920.6, incremental cost eff ectiveness calculations are required for rules and regulations which are adopte d or amended to meet the California Clean Air Act requirements for Best Available Retro fit Control Technology (BARCT) or “all feasible measures” to control volatile comp ounds, oxides of nitrogen or oxides of sulfur.
The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 is not subject to incremental cost effectiveness calculations because this rule does not impose BARC T or “all feasible measures”.6 AVAQMD Rule 1174 Final Staff Report, 01/24/13 D. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (CEQA)
Through the process described below, it was determi ned that a Notice of Exemption would be the appropriate CEQA process for the proposed resci ssion of Rule 1174.
1. The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 meets the C EQA definition of “project.” They are not “ministerial” actions.
2. The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 is exempt f rom CEQA review because this rule is duplicative of a SIP approved consumer products rule and federal regulations, and there is not potential that the re scission might cause the release of additional air contaminants or create any advers e environmental impacts. Therefore, a Class 8 categorical exemption (14 Cal. Code Reg. §15308) applies.

E. SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
1. Potential Environmental Impacts
The proposed rescission of Rule 1174 removes a rule which is duplicative of a SIP approved consumer products rule and federal regulat ions, and there is not potential that the rescission might cause the release of additiona l air contaminants or create any adverse environmental impacts. Any source subject to the provisions of this rule is currently, and will continue to be, regulated by th e CARB consumer products rule and federal regulations.

VI. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. SOURCE DESCRIPTION
Rule 1174 applies to manufacturers, distributers, a nd/or retailers of materials and/or methods used to ignite barbecue charcoal. In addition to t he requirements of this rule, this source is regulated by the CARB Consumer Products Regulation (17 CCR 94507 et seq.) and EPA’s national consumer products rule (40 CFR 59).AVAQMD Rule 1174 7

Final Staff Report, 01/24/13 B. EMISSIONS
The requirements in the SIP approved CARB Consumer Products Regulation and EPA’s consumer product rule is equivalent to the requirem ents of Rule 1174. All sources that are subject to the requirements of Rule 1174 are curren tly subject to the CARB Consumer Products Regulation and EPA’s consumer product rule. Theref ore, Rule 1174 can be rescinded with no impact on emissions.
C. CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in the SIP approved CARB Consumer Products Regulation and EPA’s consumer product rule is equivalent to the requirem ents of Rule 1174. All sources that are subject to the requirements of Rule 1174 are curren tly subject to the CARB Consumer Products Regulation and EPA’s consumer product rule. Theref ore, Rule 1174 can be rescinded with no relaxation of control requirements.

D. PROPOSED RULE SUMMARY
Rule 1174 applies to manufacturers, distributors, a nd/or retailers of materials and/or methods used to ignite barbecue charcoal.
CARB’s Consumer Products Regulation (17 CCR 94507 e t seq.) and EPA’s consumer product rule (40 CFR 59.202 et seq.) are also applicable to this source.
Section (c) - Requirements
Section (c)(1) – This section specifies that the VO C emissions resulting from the ignition of barbecue charcoal are less than or equa l to 0.02 pound of VOC per start. This requirement is specified in 17 CCR 94509(h) an d 40 CFR 59.203(d)(1).
Section (c)(2) – This section sets forth the requir ement for certification of the test performed, including product formulation and test r esults. This requirement is similarly specified in 17 CCR 94509(h) and 40 CFR 59.208.
Section (c)(3) – This section requires labeling for compliance with this rule as well as the proper procedures for use or application of the method or material. This requirement is similarly specified in 40 CFR 59.203 (d)(2).
Section (c)(4) – This section specifies that reform ulation of barbecue ignition material shall require recertification. 17 CCR 94509(h) and requires each formulation be certified and 40 CFR 59.209 requires accurate recor ds for each formulation.
Section (d) – Compliance schedule: the provisions of this rule were effective January 1, 1992. The CARB Consumer Products Regulation and EPA’s con sumer product rule are both currently in effect and there will be no lapse in c ompliance requirements when this rule is rescinded.8 AVAQMD Rule 1174 Final Staff Report, 01/24/13 Section (e) – Exemptions: This exemption is set fo rth in 40 CFR 59.202 definition for “Charcoal lighter material.”
E. 110(l) Analysis
Rule 1174 has been approved by USEPA into the SIP ( 59 FR 50498, 10/04/1994). Therefore, the District will perform the 110(l) determination based on the requirements in the 10/05/90 version of Rule 1174 and the requirements in the CA RB Consumer Products Regulation and EPA’s consumer product rule.
The proposed rule summary in Section (D) above has shown that the requirements in Rule 1174 are met or exceeded in the requirements in the CARB Consumer Products Regulation and EPA’s consumer product rule. The AVAQMD is subject to transport from both the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as w ell as the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD). The SCAQMD h as the same version of Rule 1174 as the AVAQMD, and the SJVAPCD has no rule; therefore, the District benefits from the fact that the regulation became applicable statewide, rather than just to one District. In addition to the CARB Consumer Products Regulation, the EPA consumer product rule lends enforceability to the state regulation.

E. SIP HISTORY
1. SIP History.
Prior to 1975 the original air district for the Ant elope Valley region was the Los Angeles County APCD that had jurisdiction covering the entire county of Los Angeles. In 1975, the Southern California Air Pollution Cont rol District (So. Cal. APCD) was created. The So. Cal. APCD was created by a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino C ounties to replace the previous countywide air pollution control districts for thos e counties. On 02/01/77, pursuant to statute (Cal. Stats. 1976, Ch 324 p. 815) the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) was created with an initial juris diction that only included areas of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino C ounties contained within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). Outlying areas remai ned under the So. Cal. APCD (The legislation was thereafter amended to allow no n SCAB areas to “opt in”. Los Angeles County exercised this option and thus the A ntelope Valley became a part of SCAQMD). Also on 02/01/77 the California Air Resou rces Board (CARB) issued Executive Order G-73 (1977) which adopted a “rule b ook” for those non-SCAB areas of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino Counti es. CARB submitted the G-73 rulebook on behalf of the “county” districts.
By its terms Executive Order G-73 (1977) was only e ffective until the non-SCAB areas took other action. On 02/22/77 the JPA forming the So. Cal. APCD was formally dissolved. By the terms of the JPA upon dissolutio n each county would regain its county air pollution control district with a jurisd iction of the non-SCAB areas of the county and the applicable rules being the So. Cal. APCD’s rules in effect upon the dateAVAQMD Rule 1174 9

Final Staff Report, 01/24/13

of dissolution. On 07/01/97 the Antelope Valley Ai r Pollution Control District (AVAPCD) replaced the SCAQMD as the agency with jur isdiction over the Los Angeles County portion of the Mojave Desert Air Bas in (MDAB). On 01/01/02 the AVAPCD was replaced by the AVAQMD. Pursuant to bot h statutory changes, the rule and regulations of the predecessor district were re tained until the Governing Board adopted, amended or rescinded them. At the first m eeting of the both the AVAPCD and the AVAQMD, the respective Governing Boards reaffir med all the rules and regulations in effect at the time the agency changed.
The jurisdiction of the AVAPCD and the AVAQMD were specified in the statutes as the portion of the Los Angeles County contained wit hin the MDAB. The MDAB was formerly known as the Southeast Desert Air Basin (S EDAB). In 1997 the SEDAB was split into the MDAB and the Salton Sea Air Basin. Descriptions of these air basins can be found in 17 Cal. Code Regs. §§60109 and 60144. Since USEPA adopts SIP revisions in California as effective within jurisdi ctional boundaries of local air districts, when the local air district boundaries change the S IP as approved by USEPA for that area up to the date of the change remains as the SI P in that particular area. Thus, upon creation of the AVAPCD on 07/01/97 the AVAPCD acqui red the SIP applicable to the Antelope Valley portion of the SCAQMD that was effe ctive as of 06/30/97. Likewise the AVAQMD acquired the SIP that was effective in t he jurisdiction of the AVAPCD as of 12/31/01. Therefore, the SIP history for thi s region is based upon the rules adopted, effective, and approved for the Antelope V alley by SCAQMD.
Rule 1174 was originally adopted by the SCAQMD on 1 0/05 1990. Rule 1174 was approved by USEPA into the SIP (59 FR 50498, 10/04/ 1994), and is the current version in the AVAQMD rulebook.
2. SIP Analysis.
The District will request that CARB submit to USEPA a request to remove Rule 1174 from the SIP for the AVAQMD.10 AVAQMD Rule 1174 Final Staff Report, 01/24/13 This page intentionally left blank.AVAQMD Rule 1174 A
