Background

AQMD is required by State law to publish a list of all rules potentially scheduled for consideration during the coming year.  This Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report is expanded for said purpose.  In order to implement the 2003 AQMP, continue to reduce exposure to toxic air contaminants, and address CARB and U.S. EPA concerns, staff may potentially bring approximately 35 proposed rulemakings before the Board in 2007.  Approximately seven rules or rule amendments will be considered by the Board in 2007 as strategies to reduce air toxic emissions, including backstop rules to reduce emissions at the ports.
