Title: Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds–-Exclusion of Propylene Carbonate and Dimethyl Carbonate 
Abstract: This final action granted volatile organic compounds (VOC) exemption for two compounds (propylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate). Granting VOC exemption status to these compounds removed a regulatory burden from industries that want to use these compounds and states will be relieved of the burden of controlling these compounds without adversely affecting air quality.
