California Air Resources Board

Many local air pollution control districts in California amended their existing architectural coatings rules or adopted new rules based on CARB's 2000 Suggested Control Measure (SCM). These rules required an annual report from manufacturers of certain categories of coatings and an annual report of coatings that included perchloroethylene or methylene chloride.

After consultation with the local air districts, on March 2011, CARB staff decided to no longer require submission of this annual architectural coatings reporting. Accordingly, the last reporting year was 2009 data submitted in 2010.
