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

Rule 67.4 regulates emissions of volatile organic compounds from metal container, metal closure and metal coil 

coating operations. The proposed amendments will reduce the VOC content limit for cleaning materials to 25 

grams/liter unless some specified cleaning and emission control equipment is used, include a new section to 

require the use of high transfer efficiency coating application equipment, clarify record keeping requirements and 

update existing definitions of terms used in the rule. In addition, the amended rule will update the test methods 

for determining VOC and exempt compounds contents of coatings, cleaning materials and the overall efficiency of 

emission control systems.

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

(CO) PM TAC (name):misc
