RULE FORECAST REPORT - DECEMBER 1996

Advance Target for Board Hearings

JANUARY 1997
403 * Fugitive Dust	Proposed amendments will incorporate control measures BCM-01, 03, 04, & 06 from the 1994 BACM SIP to meet the Clean Air Act requirements for Best Available Control Measures. Mel Zeldin - 909.396.3058 CEQA: Jonathan Nadler (3071) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
1145 Plastic, Rubber & Glass Coatings (CM# CTS-02M)	Proposed amendments will be based on a recent review of available technology. Reformulation will allow for reductions from electric-dissipating and shock-free coatings. Replacement technology such as UV-curable coatings may also result in emission reductions in the distant future. Dave Schwien - 909.396.2577 CEQA: Mike Krause (2706) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
1186 * PM10 Emissions from Paved and Unpaved Roads and Livestock Operations	(Formerly listed as Rule 403 amendment.) This rule cannot completely be done in Rule 403. Proposed amendments will incorporate Control Measures BCM-01, 03, 04, & 06 from the 1994 BACM SIP to meet the Clean Air Act requirements for Best Available Control Measures. PUBLIC WORKSHOP: Oct. 29, 1996, 9:00 a.m., AQMD Auditorium, Diamond Bar. Mel Zeldin - 909.396.3058
Reg. XX RECLAIM	Proposed amendments will modify: exemption provisions, emission factors, and certain monitoring and reporting requirements. Of particular note are the revised requirements for non-operating and infrequently-operated major sources. Pang Mueller - 909.396.2433 CEQA: Darren Stroud (2526) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)

FEBRUARY 1997
1173 * Fugitive Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (CM# FUG-04)	Proposed amendments will address SIP recommendations identified by U.S. EPA; consider lowering leak thresholds for minor and major gas leaks; require the use of trained individuals for leak inspections; consider the new federal NESHAPs requirements; and address other issues regarding implementation of inspection and maintenance. Mohsen Nazemi - 909.396.2662 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Bob Kneisel (3199)
2501 Air Quality Investment Program (AQIP) (CM# FLX - 02)	Proposed rule is designed to provide a compliance option to those sources subject to AQMD rules and regulations, by allowing these sources to demonstrate compliance through investments in air quality projects that can produce equivalent or greater emission reductions or air quality benefit. Investments made through the AQIP would be used to fund stationary and mobile source control strategies that could demonstrate real, quantifiable, surplus, and enforceable emission reductions. In addition, the proposed AQIP would fund and implement air quality projects consistent with the overall control strategy of the AQMD's Air Quality Management Plan to promote the advancement of clean technologies. Elaine Chang - 909.396.3186 CEQA: Jonathan Nadler (3071) Socio: Francis Goh (3075)
2506 * Area Source Credits (CM# CMB-03 & 04) (formerly 2009)	Proposed rule will implement the market incentives program for area sources to supplement RECLAIM. Pang Mueller - 909.396.2433 CEQA: Jonathan Nadler (3071) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)

MARCH 1997
1105.1 * Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (CM# CMB-09)	Proposed rule will reduce PM10 emissions from petroleum refinery fluid catalytic cracking units. Mohsen Nazemi - 909.396.2662 CEQA: Jonathan Nadler (3071) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
1168 Control of VOC Emissions from Adhesive Applications	Proposed amendments will; (a) Implement recent amendments to the Health and Safety Code; (b) Restore certain future VOC limits to match availible technology; and (c) Reflect certain changes in test methods. This will defer 0.7 tons/day of future VOC emission reductions. Anupom Ganguli - 909.396.3185
Reg. XXX * Title V Operating Permits & 212 Standards for Approving Permits	Regulation XXX was developed to establish the parameters for an operating permit program that satisfies the requirements of Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. On August 29, 1994, U. S. EPA proposed revisions to regulations that define the minimum elements of an approvable operating permit program. These regulations are expected to be finalized in 1996. Regulation XXX will then be amended to parallel changes in the EPA program. In addition, changes are proposed to facilitate approval and clarify approvability. Pang Mueller - 909.396-2433 Proposed amendments will bring AQMD's rule in line with state law governing public noticing requirements. Ben Shaw 909.396-2394 CEQA: Darren Stroud (2526) Socio: Shah Dabirian (3076)

2500 Intercredit Trading (CM# FLX-01)	Proposed rule will link AQMD's mobile and stationary source credit trading programs to increase compliance flexibility. Elaine Chang - 909.396.3186 / Jill Whynot (3104) CEQA: Jonathan Nadler (3071) Socio: Francis Goh (3075)

MAY 1997
Reg. III Fees	Proposed amendments support the AQMD FY 1997-98 budget and may include an across-the-board adjustment to match the change in the state Consumer Price Index. Ed Pupka - 909.396.3332

JUNE 1997
1122 Solvent Degreasers (CM# CTS-02N)	This implements AQMP Control Measure CTS-02N which is expected to reduce VOC emissions by 36.9 tons/day. Proposed amendments will be based on aqueous cleaning technology in lieu of petroleum solvent usage. Remote reservoir cleaning operations will be removed from this rule since they are subject to Rule 1171. Anupom Ganguli - 909.396.3185 CEQA: Darren Stroud (2526) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)

TO-BE-DETERMINED 1997
219 Equipment Not Requiring a Written Permit Pursuant to Regulation II	Proposed amendments delete written permit requirements for equipment found to emit negligible amounts of air contaminants and adds written permit requirements for equipment found to emit significant amounts of air contaminants or are regulated by federal, state, or AQMD air emission standards. Larry Bowen - 909.396.2575
442 Emission Reductions from Solvent Usage (VOC) (CM# CTS-02O) 444 Open Fires	Proposed amendments will delete obsolete language, clarify definitions, categorize burn activities, and delineate the minimum requirements of agricultural burns. Ed Pupka - 909.396.3332
463 Storage of Organic Liquids (CM# FUG-03)	Proposed amendments will take the first step of a two-step approach to reduce VOC emissions from organic liquid storage tanks by gathering data on storage tanks that are currently exempt from Rule 463 to assess the need for, or the level of, any future controls required to reduce VOC emissions from these tanks. If the data demonstrates a need to reduce VOC emissions, step two of the rule will include identification of the appropriate control options. Mohsen Nazemi - 909.396.2662 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
1107 Metal Products Coating (CM# CTS-02H)	Proposed amendments will be based on a recent review of available technology. The technology review reveals that VOC concentration limits can be reduced to 185 grams per liter, as applied with powder coatings for both general and high gloss coatings. Non-compliant solvent-borne high solids coatings could be vented to control equipment. The use of acetone, an exempt solvent, will also reduce emissions. Anupom Ganguli - 909.396.3185 CEQA: Mike Krause (2706) Socio: Francis Goh (3075)
1118 * Emission Reductions from Refinery Flares (M# CMB - 07)	The proposed rule will take the first step of a two-step approach to potential flare emissions reduction by gathering data on flaring operations at petroleum refineries to assess the need for, or the level of, any future controls to reduce flare emissions. This first step will require refineries to monitor flaring activities for the amount and composition of gases being flared. If the data demonstrates a need to control flaring operations, step two of the rule will be to develop specific control requirements to reduce flare emissions. Mohsen Nazemi - 909.396.2662 CEQA: Darren Stroud (2526) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
1138 Restaurant Operations (CM# PRC-03)	Proposed rule will address VOC and PM10 control requirements in AQMP Control Measure PRC-03 for commercial cooking operations and restaurants. Jill Whynot - 909.396.3104 CEQA: Mike Krause (2706) Socio: Shah Dabirian (3076)

1169 Hexavalent Chromium - Chrome Plating and Chromic Acid Anodizing	Proposed amendments will incorporate the requirements of the chrome plating NESHAP. Ben Shaw - 909.396.2394 CEQA: Darren Stroud (2526) Socio: Shah Dabirian (3076)
1423 Lead Abatement Rule	This is a place holder for a rule to control lead emissions during abatement activities. This rule will be coordinated with Cal-EPA's statewide strategic plan to reduce lead poisoning. Ben Shaw - 909.396.2394 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
1437 Furniture Stripping Operations	Proposed rule will control methylene chloride emissions from furniture stripping operations. Ben Shaw - 909.396.2394
