olefins, (2) providing that volume percent olefins equals 0.857 x mass percent olefins, and (3) expanding
the scope statement from 0.3 to 25 mass percent olefins. This change would become applicable January 1,
2002. |

Adoption of Proposed
Amendments to the
Regulation for Reducing
Volatile Organic Compound
Emissions from Aerosol
Coating Products and
Proposed Tables of
Maximum Incremental
Reactivity (MIR) Values,
and Adoption of Proposed
Amendments to Method 310,
"Determination of Volatile
Organic Compounds in
Consumer Products
(June 22, 2000 Hearing) |
Description: Staff
is proposing the following regulatory actions for Board approval: (1) Amend the Aerosol Coating
Regulation by replacing the Second Tier VOC limits for 35 product categories with equivalent
reactivity-based limits. (2) Adopt a number of amendments to implement the proposed reactivity-based limits.
This includes changing the title of the regulation, a number of additional definitions which
are necessary to describe various reactivity-related terms used in the regulation, a new provision in Section 94522(c)
to restrict potential increased use of an identified toxic air contaminant: methylene chloride,
amendments to specify that Method 310 would be used to determine aerosol coating ingredients,
and other conforming changes that are necessary to integrate the new reactivity based limits into the
existing aerosol coatings regulation. (3) Adopt new Tables of MIR Values. Proposed new Subchapter 8.6,
Sections 94700 and 94701 would contain tables of MIR Values that would be used to set reactivity-based
limits and determine compliance. (4) Modify ARB Method 310 so that it can be used for determining compliance
with the proposed reactivity limits. |
| Affected Regulations:
Proposed Amendments to Sections 94521-94524, and 94526, Title 17, California Code of Regulations

Adoption of Proposed
Amendments to the
Regulation for
Reducing Volatile
Organic Compound
Emissions from
Antiperspirants
and Deodorants
(October 26, 2000
Hearing) |
Description: Staff
is proposing to increase the HVOC limit for aerosol antiperspirants to 40 percent from the current zero
percent limit, beginning January 1, 2001. The MVOC limit of 10 percent would be unchanged. Increasing
the HVOC limit would result in a 1.3 tons per day increase in VOC emissions statewide in 2010, as
compared to the emission reductions that would have been achieved from the zero percent HVOC limit. However,
staff believes the proposed limit change is necessary to allow technologically and commercially feasible aerosol antiperspirants
to continue to be available to California consumers. |
| Affected Regulations:
Proposed Amendments to Sections 94502 and 94504, Title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR) |

Adoption of a Public
Transit Bus Fleet Rule
and Emission Standards
for New Urban Buses
(January 27, 2000
Hearing) |
Description:This regulatory
proposal is intended to further reduce emissions of both ozone precursors and toxic air contaminant's from the

urban transit bus fleet rule applicable to transit agencies; and b) more stringent emission standards
for new urban bus engines applicable to manufacturers of such engines. |

Light and Medium-Duty
LEV Alignment, and
Heavy-Duty Gasoline
Vehicles and Engines
Emission Standards
(December 7, 2000
Hearing) |
Description: The ARB
staff is proposing amendments to the California exhaust emissions regulations for light-, medium- and heavy-duty
engines and vehicles. One set of amendments would change the LEV II regulations to prevent a manufacturer
from certifying a California vehicle model to a California vehicle emissions category that is less stringent
than the federal Tier 2 emissions bin to which an equivalent vehicle model has been federally certified.
In such a circumstance, the manufacturer instead would have to market in California the model certified
to the federal exhaust emission standards. The second set of amendments would adopt additional exhaust emission
standards for heavy-duty gasoline engines to align with recently promulgated federal standards. |

Affected Regulations: Amendments
to Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 1961 |

Adoption of Proposed
Amendments to the
California Consumer
Products Regulation
Relating to Aerosol
Adhesives
(May 25, 2000
Hearing) |
Description: The proposed
amendments would eliminate the 25 percent VOC limit, which is scheduled to become effective
on January 1, 2002, and establish new VOC limits for three new categories of aerosol adhesives. The three
new categories are "mist spray adhesives,""web spray adhesives,"and "special purpose
spray adhesives." The "special purpose spray adhesives" are further subcategorized into six subgroups.
The proposed regulatory action also prohibits the use of methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene,
which are toxic air contaminants, in aerosol adhesives manufactured for use in California. Additionally,
the proposed amendments would also revise various definitions related to aerosol adhesives, and make other
minor modifications to the consumer products regulation to allow incorporation of the proposed amendments
and provide clarity. |

Adoption of a Proposed
Airborne Toxic Control
Measure for Emissions
(ATCM) of Chlorinated
Toxic Air Contaminants
from Automotive
Maintenance and Repair Activities
(April 27, 2000 Hearing) |
Description: The proposed
ATCM would minimize emissions of Perc, MeCl, and TCE from AMR activities by regulating automotive consumer
product content and usage. Specifically, the proposed ATCM requires that brake cleaners, carburetor or fuel-injection
air intake cleaners (carburetor cleaners), engine degreasers, and general purpose degreasers manufactured
after June 30, 2001, and sold or intended for sale in California not to contain Perc,
MeCl, or TCE. The proposed ATCM provides that a product is considered to contain Perc, MeCl, or
TCE if it has one percent or more (by weight) of any one of the three TACs. This
allowed content accounts for the detection limit of the prescribed test method. The proposed ATCM also prohibits
AMR facility owners and operator from using these automotive consumer products if they contain Perc, MeCl,
or TCE in their facilities after December 31, 2002. |
| |
Affected Regulations:
Proposed Adoption of Section 93111, Title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR) and Proposed Incorporation

Amendments to the
Agricultural Burning
Guidelines
(March 23, 2000
Hearing) |
Description: The proposed
regulation revises State guidelines for air pollution control districts governing agricultural burning, including
prescribed burning, which is conducted by State and federal agencies, private owners, and contractors on private
and commercial lands including forests, farms, and grazing lands. If adopted, the proposed regulation will reduce
the health and welfare impacts of sending smoke into populated areas; violations of national and
state ambient air quality standards; visibility impacts in designated national public lands and vista area; and
regional haze impacts. |

Amendments to Off-Road
Compression-Ignition
Engine Regulations:
2000 and Later Emission
Standards, Compliance
Requirements and
Test Procedures
(January 27, 2000
Hearing) |
Description: The heart
of the proposal is a set of emission standards for new off-road CI engines which would be implemented
beginning in 2000. The standards would limit emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and non-methane hydrocarbons
(NMHC). Rather than a single standard for all engine sizes, the proposal consists of different standards
partitioned by the power produced by the engine. All standards are identical to those adopted by the
U.S. EPA which appear at 40 C.F.R. Part 89; the standards are shown in Table 1 of the Public Hearing
Notice. |
| Affected Regulations: Adopt
the following sections of Title 13, CCR and the documents incorporated by reference therein: Sections 2111,
2112, and Appendix A to Article 2.1; Sections 2137, 2139, 2140, 2141, 2400, 2401, 2403, 2420, 2421, 2423,
2424, 2425, 2426, and 2427; and "California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for New 1996
and Later Heavy-Duty Off-Road Diesel Cycle Engines" and California Smoke Test Procedures for New
1996 and Later Heavy-Duty Off-Road Diesel Cycle Engines, which are incorporated by reference in Section 2423
and the document "California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 1995 and Later Small Off-Road
Engines" which is incorporated by reference in Section 2403. |
