| Subject | Proposed 10% VOC standard for Brake Cleaners |
| Comment | Fast Undercar and its customers are very concerned about the VOC emission standards for four automotive maintenance product categories in the proposed CONS-2 regulation. The proposed 10% VOC standard for Brake Cleaners, Carburetor or Fuel-Injection Air Intake Cleaners, Engine Degreasers, and General Purpose Degreasers could have a negative impact on consumers from increase costs since less effective products will require more time for routine auto maintenance. We are also concerned that ARB has not fully considered the impact of these standards and has not conducted significant long-term testing to ensure that the resulting products will not endanger vehicle safety or consumer preferences. We understand that the automotive product industry has already reduced emissions from these products and has offered to make additional reductions. We are asking ARB to reconsider its 10% VOC standards and consider a compromise that will protect California’s air quality without having a negative impact on our members’ ability to provide quality vehicle maintenance. Sincerely, Bruce Douglass, President and CEO |
