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

The amendments to Rule 1151modify the rule's coating categories and VOC limits in accordance with the 

California Air Resources Board Automootive Coatings Suggested Control Measure. The amendments to Rule 

1151: (1) Combine Group I and Group II vehicle catgories and establish VOC limits by coating category only; (2) 

Eliminate the composite VOC limit for multistage coating systems and establish independent VOC limits for both 

the color and clear coatings of the multistage coating system; (3) Combine the primer, primer surfacer, and 

primer sealer categories and establish a single VOC limit for promers; (4) Eliminate the general speciality coating 

category and replace it with specific categories and VOC limits; and (5) Add a prohibition of possession that 

prohibits possession of non-compliant coatings unless certain specific conditions are met.; and (6) Exempt TBAc 

as a VOC for coating categories other than color and clear coatings.

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2

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. 

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase* Decrease** N/A 

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Source Category: This measure is to implement CTS-10 (III), but a 

portion of its reductions will be used to substitute in 2003 AQMP PRC-07, which has a SIP commitment of 1 ton/day 

reduction.

Inventory Year Used to Calculate Changes in Emissions: 2005 Area Affected: South Coast Basin

Future Year Control Profile Estimate (Provide information on as many years as possible): 

2008 Control Factor: 0.666

2009 Control Factor: 0.661

2010 Control Factor: 0.64

2010 SIP reductions: 4.2 tons per day

IV. EMISSION REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Does the Rule Include Emission Limits that are Continuous? Yes No 

If Yes, Those Limits are in Section(s) Subdivision (c) and Appendix A Subdivision (d) of the Rule. 

Other Methods in the Rule for Achieving Emission Reductions are: 

V. OTHER REQUIREMENTS

The Rule Contains: 

Emission Limits in Section(s): (d) [Effective July 1, 2008] Work Practice Standards in Section(s): 

Recordkeeping Requirements in Section(s): (f) [Effective July 1, 2008 Reporting Requirements in Section(s): (g) 

[Effective July 1, 2008]

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: The VOC emission reductions of 4.2 tons per day by 2010 are part of the 2003 AQMP attainment strategy.
