00-6-1 Public Hearing to Consider 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"

Staff is proposing amendments to the Aerosol Coatings Regulation that would replace the January 1, 2002, volatile organic compound (VOC) content limits with equivalent reactivity-based VOC limits. To implement and enforce the proposed amendments, staff is also proposing to: 1) add a new subchapter to the California Code of Regulations that would contain the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR) values, and 2) amend ARB Method 310.

The update will include a discussion about the WRAP's potential development of a regional sulfur dioxide trading market to meet regulatory requirements for visibility.
   
00-6-3 Public Meeting to Consider Approval of a Suggested Control Measure for Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds from the Application of Architectural Coatings
