The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update of AQMD’s rulemaking and control measure implementation schedule. Scheduling changes which occurred since last month’s forecast are summarized. There may have been changes to this report since review by the Stationary Source Committee.

Rules to be Rescheduled/Removed and Added

 

Rule 431.2 — Sulfur Content of Liquid Fuels

Proposed amended Rule 431.2 is being postponed from August to September to allow additional time for staff to review additional input from the public.

Rule 219 — Equipment Not Requiring A Written Permit Pursuant to Regulation II Rule 481 — Spray Coating Operations Rule 1107 — Coating of Metal Parts and Products Rule 1136 — Wood Products Coatings Rule 1141 — Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Resin Manufacturing Rule 1141.1 — Coating and Ink Manufacturing Rule 1141.2 — Surfactant Manufacturing Rule 1162 — Polyester Resin Operations

These rules are being moved from August to October to allow time for CEQA documentation and review. This proposal will amend Rules 219, 481, 1107, 1136, 1141, 1141.1, 1141.2 and 1162 to implement the recommendations of the Monitoring, Recordkeeping, and Reporting Task Force to streamline VOC recordkeeping.

Rule 1102 — Petroleum Solvent Dry Cleaners

Proposed amended Rule 1102 is being rescheduled from September to November to allow sufficient time to survey other air districts’ rules, identify affected facilities, and establish accurate inventories. Additional time is also necessary to investigate low emission dry cleaning technologies applicable to this source category. The proposed amendments are required to address CARB comments to ensure the District regulations are as stringent as other air districts in the state.

Rule 1103 — Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Manufacturing Operations

Proposed amended Rule 1103 is being rescheduled from September to an undetermined date in 2001. The proposed amendments are required to address CARB's comments and to ensure the rule is as stringent as other districts in the state. The AQMD satisfied this requirement as part of the amendments to Rule 1102 in March 1999. Staff, however, recommends minor administrative changes, unrelated to CARB's original comments, at a later date.

Rule 1137 — Emission Reductions from Woodworking Operations (PM10) (CM#97 PRC-01)

Proposed Rule 1137 is being postponed from November to December to allow sufficient time for staff to reassess control measures pending completion of inventory analysis. The proposed rule will establish requirements for controlling PM10 emissions from woodworking operations.

Rule 1138.1 — Control of Emissions from Underfired Charbroiler Restaurant Operations (CM#99 PRC-03, Phase II)

Proposed Rule 1138.1 is being postponed from October to November in order to meet the requirements of the 1999 amendments to the 1997 AQMP. The 1999 amendments require a report to the Board at least three months prior to rule adoption when cost-effectiveness for VOCs exceeds a specific threshold. At the August Board meeting, staff will provide a report summarizing the status of technology development and preliminary cost-effectiveness. Control requirements to reduce PM and VOC emissions from underfired charbroilers will be proposed based on cost-effective control technology.

Rule 1166 — Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Decontamination of Soil

Proposed amended Rule 1166 is being postponed from October to December to allow additional time to evaluate and analyze the impact of additional requirements to improve enforceability in several areas, i.e., handling, storage, transportation and treatment of contaminated soil. The proposed amendment will further limit the emissions of VOCs during the treatment of contaminated soil.

Rule 1191.1 — Clean On-Road Light- and Medium-Duty Fleet Vehicles for Private Fuel Suppliers and Utilities

Proposed Rule 1191.1 is being added and will be scheduled for a date uncertain. The proposed rule is an expansion of Rule 1191 and would require private fuel suppliers and private utilities to purchase cleaner burning or alternative fueled vehicles.

Rule 1195— Clean On-Road School Buses

Proposed Rule 1195 is being postponed from August to October to allow additional time to develop data on emissions, cost, feasibility, and to synchronize with TAO’s demonstration program. Proposed Rule 1195 will require public school bus fleet operators to purchase or lease low-emission light- and medium-duty vehicles when adding or replacing vehicles in the fleet.

Rule 1196 — Clean On-Road Heavy-Duty Public Fleet Vehicles

Proposed Rule 1196 is being rescheduled from August to September in order to allow more time for staff to review and develop the rule and to seek input from the affected parties. The proposed rule will require public fleet operators to purchase or lease low-emission light- and medium-duty vehicles when adding or replacing vehicles in the fleet.

Rule 1302 — New Source Review Definitions Rule 1303 — New Source Review Requirements Rule 1306 — New Source Review Emission Calculations Rule 2000 — RECLAIM General

Proposed amended Rules 1302, 1303, 1306 and 2000 are being postponed from August to September to allow sufficient time for the CEQA process to be completed. The proposed amendments will separate Best Available Control Technology (BACT) into Lowest Achievable Emissions Rate (LAER) for federal major sources and state BACT for minor sources.

Rule 1610 — Old Vehicle Scrapping

Proposed amended Rule 1610 is being postponed from August to September to allow time to evaluate proposed rule changes for auto-scrapping and vehicle repair program. Review and coordination with ARB for changes are necessary in order to be compatible with the statewide rule on car scrapping. [ARB's statewide rule on car scrapping and recommendations from the Rule 1610 Working Group may necessitate further rule amendments or the creation of a vehicle repair program.]

Rule 1612.1 — Credits for Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Proposed Rule 1612.1 is being scheduled for hearing in November. The proposed rule will enable NOx credits from early conversion of diesel engines to clean fuels to provide credits for use by RECLAIM facilities. Several types of categories are being considered. This pilot program is part of AQMD's efforts to advance trading programs.

MASTER CALENDAR
Advance Target for Board Hearings

Below is a list of all rulemaking activity scheduled for the year 2000. The last three columns refer to the type of rule adoption or amendment: AQMP refers to the adoption and implementation of AQMP control measures (Attachment A); Toxics refers to the adoption and implementation of programmatic as well as source specific toxic related rules (Attachment B); and Other refers to administrative rules or changes to an existing rule to clarify or improve rule enforceability, SIP corrections, or implementing state or federal regulations (Attachment C). A more detailed description of the proposed rule adoption or amendment is located after this calendar under the type of rule adoption or amendment (i.e. AQMP, Toxics, and Other) Upcoming Public Workshops are located at the end of the report (Attachment D).

*An asterisk indicates that the rulemaking is a potentially significant hearing.
+This proposed rule will reduce criteria air contaminants and assist toward attainment of ambient air quality standards.
