We have posted forms to facilitate reporting calendar year 2011
data for Multi-purpose Solvent and Paint Thinner products sold in
California here:.
http://www.arb.ca.gov/consprod/regact/mpspt/mpspt.html.  The
forms can be used to fulfill the special reporting requirements
for these products contained in section 94513(g) of the Consumer
Products Regulation (Regulation for Reducing Emissions from
Consumer Products, title 17, California Code of Regulations,
sections 94507 – 94517).  

If you are a responsible party, or formulator of a Multi-purpose
Solvent and Paint Thinner product that was sold for use in
California during calendar year 2011, you should complete the
forms and return them to us at the address indicated in the
forms.  The data should be submitted by September 17, 2012. The
data will be used as part of our assessment on the feasibility of
the 3 percent by weight volatile organic compound (VOC) limits
scheduled to become effective on December 31, 2013.

Background:  ARB’s Consumer Products Program is an important part
of overall efforts to reduce the amount of smog-forming VOC,
toxic air contaminants and greenhouse gases that are emitted from
the use of chemically formulated consumer products.  ARB’s
consumer products regulations have resulted in projected emission
reductions of nearly 50 percent since 1990, but more needs to be
done to meet health-based air quality standards.
