What's New List Serve Post Display

This note is to inform you that the Air Resources Board (ARB) has
further extended the sell-through period that applies to
distributors, fabricators, and retailers of finished goods made
with pre-Phase 1 composite wood product panels. This newest
sell-through extension will be in effect through December 31,
2011.  Regulatory Advisory 10-01, which describes this extension,
is posted to our composite wood products website at:  

http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/compwood/outreach/10_01_advisory.pdf

The sell-through extension affects businesses which use
composite wood product panels (i.e., fabricators) to make
finished goods, such as furniture, cabinets, picture frames,
etc., as well as businesses that distribute or sell these goods
at the retail level.  The purpose of this extension is to address
excess inventories within California of finished goods made with
pre-Phase 1 composite wood product panels.  These excess
inventories are a result of the economic recession, which has led
to slow sales across many business sectors.  

If you have questions about this advisory, please contact:  Mr.
Lynn Baker at (916) 324-6997, email lbaker@arb.ca.gov or Ms.
Angela Csondes at (916) 445-4448, email acsondes@arb.ca.gov.
