Rulemaking Process
This page last reviewed August 13, 2012
Once a substance
is identified as a TAC, the ARB is required by law to determine if
there is a need for controls. For compounds
with no threshold level, the California Health and Safety Code requires
the development of control measures to
reduce emissions to the lowest level achievable through use of best
available control technology or a more effective
control method. All ARB control measures are developed in a
public process that allows for participation
by interested parties to ensure consideration of all relevant
information.
