The policy of excluding negligibly reactive compounds from the regulatory definition of VOC was first laid out in the Recommended Policy on Control of Volatile Organic Compounds (42 FR 35314, July 8, 1977) and was supplemented subsequently with the Interim Guidance on Control of Volatile Organic Compounds in Ozone State Implementation Plans. During this difficult time, South Coast AQMD is committed to protecting air quality and public health. endobj
