The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update
of AQMD’s rulemaking and control measure implementation schedule. Rulemaking is a
dynamic process, subject to ongoing revision. Scheduling changes which occurred since last
month’s forecast are summarized.
Rules to be Rescheduled/Removed and Additions
| CTS-03 – Consumer Product
Education and Labeling Program |
| Proposed Control Measure #97CTS-03 is rescheduled from
January 1999 to February 1999. Additional time is needed for staff to incorporate ideas
for "green seal" and finalize "25 Ways" brochure for public outreach. |
| Rule 218 –
Continuous Emissions Monitoring Rule 218.1 –
Continuous Emission Monitoring Performance Specifications |
| Proposed Amended Rules 218 and 218.1 are
rescheduled from January 1999 to February 1999. Additional time is needed to allow staff
to consult with U.S. EPA and CARB regarding relaxation of stringency compared to federal
requirements and Title V. |
| Rule 461 –
Gasoline Transfer and Dispensing |
| Proposed Amended Rule 461 is rescheduled
from January 1999 to February 1999. Amendments will include findings of Enhanced
Compliance Program. Amendments will also include findings of CARB/CAPCOA Test Program.
Additional time is needed for additional public input. |
| Rule 518.2 –
Federal Alternative Operating Conditions |
| Proposed Amended Rule 518.2 is
rescheduled from February 1999 to May 1999 to allow additional time to compile and
evaluate the data extracted and validate the proposed SIP allowances. |
| Rule 1418 –
Halon Emissions from Fire Extinguishing Equipment |
| Proposed Amended Rule 1418 is added to
August 1999 calendar. A rule amendment is proposed to make the rule consistent with
federal requirements. Pacific Scientific Company, which has been operating under a
variance from this rule, requested the amendment. |
