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

Amended Rule 410.4A limits volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from coatings and solvents used in 

production, repair, refinish, or maintenance operations where motor vehicles, mobile equipment, or associated 

parts and components are coated. A majority of the amendments are based on the California Air Resources 

Board (ARB) Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Automotive Coatings. The SCM is designed to promote 

uniformity amongst air district's that use it as a template for amending their motor vehicle and mobile equipment 

refinishing/coating rules.

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

 (CO) PM TAC (name):

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: The amended rule is expected to result in VOC emission reductions and help the District achieve state and 

federal RFP requirements and further progress toward attainment of ozone standards.
