Acting Executive Officer

The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update of AQMD’s rulemaking and control measure implementation schedule. Rulemaking is a dynamic process, subject to ongoing revision. Scheduling changes which occurred since last month’s forecast are summarized:

Rules to be Rescheduled/Removed and Additions

CTS-03 – Consumer Product Education and Labeling Program
Proposed Control Measure #97CTS-03 is rescheduled from December 1998 to January 1999. Additional time is needed for staff to incorporate ideas for "green seal" and finalize "25 Ways" brochure for public outreach.
WST-04 – Disposal of Materials Containing VOC
Proposed Control Measure #WST-04 is rescheduled from December 1998 to July 1999. Additional time is needed for staff to develop inventory data and control strategies. Reductions in the 1994 AQMP were achieved through amendments to Rule 1176 (September 1996) and Rule 1150.1 (April 1998).
Rule 1113 – Architectural Coatings
Proposed Rule Amended Rule 1113 is rescheduled from December 1998 to February 1999. CARB’s architectural coatings survey for estimating emission reductions for Phase II amendments has been delayed.
Rule 1128 – Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations
Proposed Amended Rule 1128 is deleted from the March 1999 calendar. The industry has, through technology, reduced its emissions considerably. Add-on control, water-based and UV coatings have resulted in emissions below the projected 2010 level. The 1994 AQMP control measure calls for a reduction of 2.1 tons per day, which is more than the current inventory. The 1997 AQMP included this as a contingency measure. An Assessment Report is attached. It is recommended that an amendment to Rule 1128 not be proposed at this time.
Rule 1158 – Storage, Handling, and Transport of Petroleum Coke
Proposed Amended Rule 1158 is rescheduled from December 1998 to February 1999 to allow additional time for staff to evaluate and consider public comments.
Rule 2506 – Area Source Credits for NOx and Sox
Proposed Amended Rule 2506 is being added to the August 1999 calendar. The amendments are proposed to add an additional source category to Table 1 (Emission Rates and Test Methods by Source Category) of the rule. This category is intended to establish an emission rate for agricultural internal combustion engines.
