Proposed Amended Rule 1143 - Consumer Paint Thinners and Multi-Purpose Solvents

The objective of PR 1143 is to implement Control Measure CTS-04 in the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) by reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from the use of consumer product paint thinners and multi-purpose solvents that are typically sold through retail outlets or through any persons acquiring a consumer product for resale of these materials within SCAQMD's jurisdiction. PR 1143 would: 1) effective January 1, 2010 , establish a VOC content limit of 25 grams per liter of material (0.21 pound per gallon of material) for consumer paint thinners and multi-purpose solvents; 2) establish a self-through provision that would allow the use of consumer paint thinners and multi-purpose solvents manufactured prior to January 1, 2010 to be used up to six months after the final compliance date; 3) require manufacturers and their distributors to submit an application to obtain a distributor or manufacturer's identification number by July 1, 2009; etc.
