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

Adopted Rule 410.1A, Architectural Coating Controls Is designed to regulate and reduce volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions from architectural coatings. Rule 410.1A is based on the California Air Resources 

Board (ARB) 2007 Suggested Control Measures (SCM) for Architectural Coatings. Rule 410.1A, Architectural 

Coating Controls will become effective on January 1, 2011 and supersede Rule 410.1, Architectural Coatings at 

which time will sunset.

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. 

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase Decrease N/A 

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Source Category: 0.1 tons/day VOC

Inventory Year Used to Calculate Changes in Emissions: 2008 Area Affected: Eastern Kern

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

Rule 410.1A will contribute to a multi-district (outside of South Coast AQMD), total VOC reduction of up to 28 percent.

This is equivalent to a VOC emission reduction of approximately 15.2 tons per/day (approximately 0.101 tpd in KCAPCD) 

by the year 2012. 95 percent of the emission reductions will come from the following nine coatings categories, which 

account for 80 percent of total emissions: Concrete/Masonry Sealer; Dry Fog; Flat; Nonflat - High Gloss; Nonflat; Primers, 

Sealers, and Undercoaters; Rust Preventative; Specialty Primers, Sealers, and Undercoaters; Wood Coatings.

Baseline Inventory in the SIP for the Control Measure: 0.36 tons/day VOC

Emissions Reduction Commitment in the SIP for the Control Measure: 0.1 tons/day VOC

Revised Emission Reduction Estimate (if developed): N/A

Note that the district’s input to the Rule Evaluation Form will not be used as input to the ARB’s emission forecasting and 

planning. 

III. SOURCES/ATTAINMENT STATUS

District is: Attainment Nonattainment Split 

Approximate Total Number of Small (<100 TPY) Sources Affected by this Amendment: 270

Percent in Nonattainment Area: 100% 

Number of Large (> 100 TPY) Sources Controlled: 5 Percent in Nonattainment Area: 100% 

Name(s) and Location(s) (city and county) of Large (> 100 TPY) Sources Controlled by Rule (Attach additional sheets as 

necessary): Eastern Portion Kern County

IV. EMISSION REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY

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

If Yes, Those Limits are in Section(s) VI of the Rule. 

Other Methods in the Rule for Achieving Emission Reductions are: N/A

V. OTHER REQUIREMENTS

The Rule Contains: 

Emission Limits in Section(s): VI & VII Work Practice Standards in Section(s): VI & VII

Recordkeeping Requirements in Section(s): VII Reporting Requirements in Section(s): VII

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: The new rule is expected to result in emission reductions of 0.1 tons per day of VOC to be included in 

revised SIP. Replaces on 1/1/2011 the already SIP approved KCAPCD Rule 410.1 adopted in 1996 and SIP approved in 

1998 that has been amended twice before, but the amendments have not been SIP approved .
