The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) will hold a public hearing on the proposed adoption of Proposed Rule 1144, Vanishing Oils and Rust Inhibitors. The objective of the rule is to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from vanishing oils and rust inhibitors used at industrial facilities during the manufacture and assembly of parts and products. The proposed rule would also prohibit the sale of vanishing oils and rust inhibitors unless they meet applicable VOC limits and provide exemptions for certain applications where deemed appropriate. The hearing will be March 6, 2009. Comments are due February 24, 2009. http://www.aqmd.gov/pub_edu/nph_1144_Mar_6_09.html.
