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

The rule will effectively lower the VOC content limit for the various uses of solvents and document procedures to 

reduce the evaporation of solvents into the atmosphere. Lower VOC content limits for these solvents will be 

achieved for most applications through the use of aqueous technologies or by transitioning to exempt 

compounds. 

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.

necessary): N/A 

IV. EMISSION REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN 

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: The rule will reduce the amount of VOCs in the Sacramento Federal Non-Attainment portion of the District 

which will help the area meet the 8-hr ozone standard.
