(II) AVERAGING PROGRAM (P ROGRAM)

At least six months prior to the start of the compliance period, manufacturers shall submit an Averaging Program to CARB. Averaging may not be implemented until the Program is approved in writing by CARB.

Within 45 days of submittal of a complete Program, CARB shall either approv e or disapprove the Program. The Program applicant and CARB may agree to an extension of time for CARB to take action on the Program.AVAQMD Rule 1113 1113

- A 3
Architectural Coatings D3, 06/05/13 (III) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The Program shall include all necessary information for CARB to make a determination

as to whether the manufacturer may comply with the averaging requirements over the specified compliance period in an enforceable manner. Such information shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

(A) An identification of the contact persons, telepho ne numbers, and name of the manufacturer who is submitting the Program.

(B) An identification of each coating that has been selected by the manufacturer for inclusion in this program that exceeds the applicable VOC limit in Table 1, its VOC content specif ied in units of both VOC actual and VOC regulatory, and the designation of the coating category.

(C) A detailed demonstration showing that the projected actual emissions will not exceed the allowable emissions for a single compliance period that the Progr am will be in effect. In addition, the demonstration shall include VOC content information for each coating that is below the compliance limit in Table 1. The demonstration shall use the equation specified in subsection A.1 of this Appendix for projectin g the actual emissions and allowable emissions during each compliance period. The demonstration shall also include all VOC content levels and projected volume sold within the State for each coating listed in the Program during each compliance period. The requested data can be summarized in a

matrix form.

(D) A specification of the compliance period(s) and applicable reporting dates. The length of the compliance period shall not be more than one year or less than six

months.

(E) An identification and des cription of all records to be made available to CARB upon request, if different than those identified under subsection (III)(F).

(F) An identification and description of specific records to be used in calculating emissions for the Program and subsequent r eporting, and a detailed explanation as to how those records will be used by the manufacturer to verify compliance with the averaging requirements.

(G) A statement, signed by a responsible party for the manufacturer, that all

information submitted is true and correct, and that records will be made available to CARB upon request.1113

- A 4 AVAQMD Rule 1113 Architectural Coatings D3, 06/05/13 (IV) REPORTING REQUIREMEN TS

(A) For every single compliance period, the manufacturer shall submit a mid

- term report listing 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 compliance period. A manufacturer may request, in writing, an extension of up to 15 days for submittal of the mid

- term
report.

(B) Within 60 days after the end of the compliance period or upon termination of the Program, whichever is sooner, the manufacturer shall submit to CARB a report listing all coatings subject to averaging during the compliance period, providing a

detailed demonstration of the balance between the actual and allowable emissions for the compliance period, any identification and description of specific records used by the manufacturer to verify co mpliance with the averaging requirement, and any other information requested by CARB to determine whether the manufacturer complied with the averaging requirements over the specified compliance period. The report shall be signed by the responsible party f or the manufacturer, attesting that all information submitted is true and correct, and that records will be made available to CARB upon request. A manufacturer may request, in writing, an extension of up to 30 days for submittal of the final report.

(V) RENEWAL OF A PROGRAM

A Program automatically expires at the end of the compliance period. The manufacturer may request a renewal of the Program by submitting a renewal request that shall include an updated Program, meeting all applicable Program require ments. The renewal request will be considered conditionally approved until CARB makes a final decision to deny or approve the renewal request based on a determination of whether the manufacturer is likely to comply with the averaging requirements. CARB s hall base such determination on all available information, including but not limited to, 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 no later than 45 days from the date of the final report submittal, unless the manufacturer and CARB agree to an extension of time for CARB to take action on the renewal request.AVAQMD Rule 1113 1113

- A 5
Architectural Coatings D3, 06/05/13 (VI) MODIFICATION OF A PR OGRAM

A manufacturer may request a modification of the Program at any time prior to the end of the compliance period. CARB shall take action to approve or disapprove the modification request no longer than 45 days from the date of its submittal. No modification of the compliance period shall be allowed. A Program nee d not be modified to specify additional coatings to be averaged that are below the applicable VOC limits.

(VII) TERMINATION OF A PRO GRAM

(A) A manufacturer may terminate its Program at any time by filing a written notification to CARB. The filing date s hall be considered the effective date of the termination, and all other provisions of this rule including the VOC limits shall immediately thereafter apply. The manufacturer shall also submit a final report 60 days after the termination date. Any exceeda nce of the actual emissions over the allowable emissions over the period that the Program was in effect shall constitute a separate violation for each day of the entire compliance period.

(B) CARB may terminate a Program if any of the following circumstan ces occur:

(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.

(2) The manufacturer demonstrates a recurring pattern of violations and has

c onsistently failed to take the necessary steps to correct those violations.

(VIII) CHANGE IN VOC LIMITS

If the VOC limits of a coating listed in the Program are amended such that its effective 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.

(IX) LABELING

Each container of any coating that is included in averaging program, and that exceeds the applicable VOC limit in Table 1 shall display the following statement: "This product is subject to architectural coatings averaging provisions in California.” A symbol specified by CARB may be used as a substitute.1113

- A 6 AVAQMD Rule 1113 Architectural Coatings D3, 06/05/13 (X) VIOLATIONS

The e xceedance of the allowable emissions for any compliance period shall constitute a separate violation for each day of the compliance period. However, any violation of the requirements of the Averaging Provision of this rule, which the violator can demonstr ate, to CARB, did not cause or allow the emission of an air contaminant and was not the result of negligent or knowing activity may be considered a minor violation.

(XI) SUNSET OF AVERAGING PROVISION

The averaging provision set forth in Appendix A shall cease to be effective on January 1, 2005, after which averaging will no longer be allowed. [Averaging Program no longer active]
