Discussion of Issues Regarding Specialty
Primers Subject to Rule 1113 - Architectural Coatings (10 mins.)
At the January Committee meeting a representative for one of the
specialty primer manufacturers requested a review of the situation
regarding the sale of specialty primers in the AQMD. The
manufacturer has developed specialty primer products that meet the
limits for that coating category in Rule 1113. Other manufacturers
have not developed specialty primers that meet the limits but can
continue to sell their products in the AQMD through the Averaging
Compiance Option provision in Rule 1113. Since there is a cost
differential between the products of the two manufacturers, retailers
are electing to sell the higher-VOC product from the manufacturer using
the Alternative Compliance Option rather than the lower-VOC products
that meets the Rule 1113 specialty primer limit. |

RECLAIM Program Compliance Year 2005 Annual
Audit Report (15 mins.)
The Compliance Year 2005 RECLAIM Annual Report, which assesses progress

2015 - Backstop Provisions. Analysis of RECLAIM Trading Credit (RTC)
Trade data indicates that the annual average price in 2006 for
Compliance Year 2010 NOx RTCs exceeded $15,000 per ton. As
required under Rule 2015(b)(6), staff is recommending that the Board
initiate a staff review of the compliance and enforcement aspects of the
RECLAIM program. |
