### I0, 1998 USEPA adopted a CTG entitled Control ofVolatile Organic Compound Emissions from Coating Operations at Aerospace Manufacturing andRework Operations
. In addition, USEPA also has promulgated and amended Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MAC'f) Standard for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (40 CFR 63 Subpart GG, commencing with §63.741)
. The AVAQMD most recently amended Ruic 1124 on March 20, 2007 given the issuance ofthe CTG and amendments to the MACT Standard as well as technological advances in coatings use and technology.

The proposed amendments are primarily designed to update the specialty coating categories and definitions to harmonize with the CTG as requested by USEP A. Definitions and VOC limits have been added for following the specialty coating categories: Commercial Exterior Aerodynamic Structure Primer; Compatible Substrate Primer; Cryogenic Flexible Primer; Elevated

-Temperature Skydrol-Resistant Commercial Primer; Flexible Primer; Ablative Coating; Bearing Coating; Chemical Agent-Resistant Coating (CARC); Cryoprotective Coating; Electrostatic Discharge and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Coating (Includes Space Vehicles); Intermediate Release Coating; Lacquer Coating; Part Marking Coating; Rocket Motor Nozzle Coating; Fire-Resistant (Interior) Coating (Space); Specialized Function Coating; Thermal Control Coating; Epoxy Polyamide Topcoat; Wet Fastener Installation Coating; Commercial Interior Adhesive; Cyanoacrylate Adhesive; Rocket Motor Bonding Adhesive; Rubber

-based Adhesive; Fastener Sealant; Bonding Maskant; Critical Use and Line Sealer Maskant; Seal Coat Maskant; Caulking and Smoothing Compound; Corrosion Prevention System Compound; Insulation Covering; Screen Print Ink; and, Silicone Insulation Material. The proposed amendment also conforms the formatting to the standard AVAQMD rule format, removes several unused definitions, updates several definitions for consistency with the CTG, removes an exemption for Temporary Marking Coatings and Materials Marking Coating for consistency with Part Marking Coating category, and cross references have been updated
