4 AIM rules (except clear wood finishes in SCAQMD), exempt (via SCE) products less or equal than 1 liter Flats, Nonflats Effective 1/1/ ounces and touch-up only Industrial Maintenance Effective 1/1/2019, 1 liter, touch-up only and not for display for sale at retail outlet Rust Preventatives Effective 1/1/2020 (unless in 2019 Board extends effective date)- 8 ounces and touch-up only 2 year sell through

5 Effective February 5, 2016, the following were eliminated from SCE: Concrete-Curing Compounds For Roadways and Bridges; Magnesite Cement Coatings; Multi-Color Coatings; Pre-Treatment Wash Primers; Roof Primers, Bituminous; Stone Consolidants; Repair and Other Swimming Pool Coatings; Wood Preservatives Effective January 1, 2018, eliminate from SCE Tub and Tile Coatings; Clear and Pigmented Shellacs; Reactive Penetrating Sealers 2 year sell through

6 Building Envelope Coatings 50 g/l (1/1/2019) Recycled Coatings 150 g/l (1/1/2019) Colorants would need VOC content and date code by 1/1/2017 Form Release (100) and Bond Breaker (350) coatings to be moved to a Release Agent rule later in 2016 likely 50 g/l limit SCE Antibundling kits are now ok (multiple containers of different coating categories)

7 EPA Method 24 is the current test method to determine VOC content of coatings Below 150 g/l Method 24 can be problematic SCAQMD added Method 313 and ASTM D6886 to the AIM Rule 1113 Method 313 Problem - semivolatile compounds that would not be VOCs under Method 24 could be VOCs under Method 313 SCAQMD developing an exclusion pathway, compounds would be excluded if less volatile than methyl palmitate (VOC marker) pentaethylene glycol would be excluded SCAQMD to conduct a roundrobin and further look into non-film forming oils conference call on April 20

8 CARB is a CA agency that coordinates AIM regulatory activities for 35 CA Air Districts Periodically develops Suggested Control Measure (SCM) 1977, 1985, 1989, 2000, and 2007 Local Air Districts have jurisdiction over and regulate the VOC content of AIM coatings via local rulemakings CARB working on AIM Survey ACA has requested CARB develop a new SCM since more reasonable than SCAQMD Rule 1113 San Joaquin developing control measures in December, advocate against SCAQMD Rule 1113

9 CARB adopted revised AIM Suggested Control Measure in October CA Air Districts have adopted 2007 SCM: Bay Area Ventura San Joaquin Imperial Kern Placer Mojave Desert Monterey Antelope Valley Santa Barbara Feather River San Diego (adopted June 24, 2015, effective date 1/1/2016) Sacramento (adopted September 24, 2015, effective date March 24, 2016) El Dorado, and Yolo Solano in 2016 Helpful website -

10 CT, DE, DC, ME, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, and VA OTC adopted the Phase II Model Rule (based on 2007 SCM) on June 3, individual OTC states must adopt this model rule Maryland Notice of Proposed Action (NPA) in MD Register on 1/22/16. Public workshop on 2/22/16. Regulation to become effective 4/25/16, compliance date 1/1/2017 Possible other OTC State adoptions: DE and NY late 2016

11 Includes WI, IL, IN, MI & OH Ohio has adopted OTC Phase I (compliance date 1/1/2009). Ohio made minor revisions (anti-bundling language, faux finish labeling) effective 10/18/2013 Illinois adopted OTC Phase I (compliance date 7/1/2009) Indiana adopted OTC Phase I on 10/1/2010, with a compliance date of 10/1/2011 Wisconsin and Michigan waiting for National AIM Rule Amendments

12 Rule is based on the OTC Phase II Model Rule Rule applies only to 7 counties in Utah (Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah, and Weber) Adopted on 9/11/2013 January 1, 2015 compliance date

13 EPA has been receiving letters from OTC, various states to amend the National AIM rule EPA needs to finish several court ordered deadline projects before starting work on the AIM rule EPA would like to include: SCAQMD Rule 1113 colorant VOC limits Increase the exceedance fee Include both OTC Phase I and Phase II Rule VOC limits EPA project person has been assigned, may start amendment process in near future

14 Agencies are regulating paint thinners and paint cleanup products only exempt compounds can be used SCAQMD Rule 1143, 25 g/l limit effective 1/1/2011 CARB Consumer Product Rule, 3% VOC by weight limit effective December 31, NH adopted the 2012 Consumer Product OTC Model Rule on 2/21/2014, 3% limit, effective January 1, 2017 Utah adopted OTC Model rule on 9/11/2013, 3% limit, effective 1/1/2015 (Multi-purpose solvents) and 1/1/2016 (Paint Thinners) Delaware 3% limit for Paint Thinners; adopted on 2/1/2016, compliance date of 1/1/17 Maryland - Consumer Products Stakeholder Meeting 4/5/2016, likely proposed compliance date 1/1/2017

16 The Clean Air Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to review the National Ozone Standard every five years to protect public health In 2008 EPA lowered the standard to parts per million (ppm) On October 1, 2015, EPA lowered the standard to ppm

17 Lower Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations More stringent coating application facility permits permit conditions lower factory applied (OEM) VOC standards add-on controls more efficient spray guns VOC standards new limit will cause another round of lower limits and States will look to California VOC rules (including SCAQMD)

19 EPA Identify Nonattainment Areas (marginal, moderate, severe) 2017 Implementation Marginal (new States) By 2020 Moderate and Severe develop plans By 2021 Moderate, Severe and Extreme attainment By 2037
