CARB Issues Updated List of Companies in Line for VOC Fees
SACRAMENTO, CA - The California Air Resources Board (CARB) issued an updated list of coatings-manufacturing companies that will be obliged to pay millions of dollars in new fees based on estimated emissions of VOCs from architectural coatings sold in the state.
Creation of the new fee program was announced last year as part of the state's efforts to deal with a multibillion-dollar budget shortfall. The fees will be assessed against companies whose architectural-coatings products sold in California emit 250 tons of VOCs per year or more.
