NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE MODIFICATION FROM THE REGULATION FOR REDUCING VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSIONS FROM CONSUMER PRODUCTS At the direction of the Executive Officer of the California Air Resources Board, a public hearing will be conducted at the time and place noted below to consider an application to modify a variance from the Regulation for Reducing Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Consumer Products (the "consumer products regulation"; title 17, California Code of Regulations, sections 94507-94517).
Section 94509(a) of the consumer products regulation specifies volatile organic compound (VOC) limits for various categories of consumer products. These limits include a 16 percent by weight VOC limit for hair mousses. In addition, section 94514 of the consumer products regulation allows any person who cannot comply with the requirements of section 94509, because of extraordinary reasons beyond the person’s reasonable control, to apply to the Executive Officer for a variance. The criteria and procedures for granting a variance are specified in section 94514. On February 11, 2000, the applicant listed below was granted a variance from the 16 percent limit for hair mousses for the hair mousse product Textureline Aeromousse Spray-On Mousse Gel (Aeromousse).
The applicant has applied to extend the compliance dates of this variance under section 94514(g) of the consumer products regulation. The public hearing to consider the variance modification application will be conducted in accordance with procedures set forth in section 94514 of the consumer products regulation. At the hearing, the applicant will be asked to present evidence demonstrating that the criteria for granting a variance have been met. Interested members of the public will be allowed reasonable opportunity to testify at the hearing. All parties may, but need not, be represented by counsel at the hearing. Subsequent to the hearing, the Executive Officer shall determine whether, under what conditions, and to what extent a variance modification is necessary and will be permitted. This facility is accessible to persons with disabilities. If accommodation is needed, please contact Ms. Kathy Spring at (916) 323-3485, TDD (916) 324-9531 or (800) 700-8326 for TDD calls from outside the Sacramento area by September 18, 2000.
