Executive Summary
Delaware's volatile organic compound rule for consumer products should mirror that developed by Ozone Transport Commission last year, CTFA says in comments to state's Dept. of Natural Resources & Environmental Control. Industry support for VOC rule is contingent on conformation to Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regional model to ensure uniform standards across state lines, association says. OTC rule was developed as model for 12 Northeastern states and D.C., which individually will decide whether to adopt it. Modeled after California's VOC reduction program, rule aims to reduce VOC emissions by 20% in consumer products, including antiperspirants (1"The Tan Sheet" Oct. 9, 2000, p. 6)
