Comment
Hexavelent chrome platers produce approximately 1% of the
hexavalent chrome emissions in the State of California. How does
the air quality improve by closing these facilities? CARB should by
focusing on restricting the sources that make up the other 99% of
hexavalent chrome emissions to improve California's air
quality.


There is no suitable replacement for hexavalent chrome. The
market rejects trivalent "decorative" chrome; and no process comes
close to the funcitionality and benefits of hard chrome, which is a
requirement for specifications such as Boeing BAC5709, MIL-STD-150F
and many others. A ban on hexavalent chrome would negatively impact
the defense and aerospace industry in California.


Please submit the attachement to the Public Record.
