88. AQ-2024-002-RULE 335 (ARCHITECTURAL COATINGS) Set a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), for December 11, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. to solicit comments on the proposed revision of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations, Rule 335 (Architectural Coatings) and the associated proposed revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed amendments to the rule and to approve submission of the amended rule as a revision to the Arizona SIP. Rule 335 establishes limits for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from architectural coatings. Rule 335 applies to any person who supplies, sells, offers for sale, or manufacturers any architectural coating for use within Maricopa County, as well as any person who applies or solicits the application of any architectural coating within Maricopa County. The rule was adopted in July 1988 and has gone through one revision in September 2013. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to revise Rule 335 to lower many of the VOC content limitations in the rule and to add additional VOC content limitations to the rule to reflect standards in the Ozone Transport Commission Model Rule “Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) Coatings”. Revised Rule 335 will be considered a contingency measure for achieving the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone as required by Section 172(c)(9) of the Clean Air Act. As such, the revised rule will become effective upon a determination by the EPA that either the Phoenix-Mesa nonattainment area failed to attain the 2015 ozone NAAQS by the attainment date or failed to make reasonable further progress.
