Comment
Considering that CARB is expert in pollution control methods and
chrome platers are experts in chrome plating, how is it possible
for CARB to imagine that a replacement technology for hard
hexavalent chrome plating will emerge by 2039 , but CARB is not
able to imagine an improvement in hex chrome pollution control
methods over the same period? Only a ban will suffice. 

By virtue of this non-emission based proposal, CARB has explicitly
assumed that they will make no improvements in pollution control
methods for the next 16 years. If I was a member of CARB staff
focused on improving pollution control methods, I would find this
very de-motivating. If I was granting budget to CARB to make
improvements in pollution control methods, I would slash the
budget. But, what will the CARB Board do?
