NOTICE TO CTC SUBSCRIBERS


     The Control Technology Center recently released a report on
VOC control of fiberglass boat manufacturing emissions, report
EPA-600/2-90-019.  In the report the acronym, ACC, was used to
define a generic spray gun design which uses an air envelope to
shape the gun discharge thus potentially increasing the
efficiency of the gun over conventional systems.  At the time of
writing the report it was not realized that the term ACC was
considered by the industry as synonymous with the trademarked
Glas-Craft Inc., patented Air Assist Containment equipment which
uses the acronym ACC.  The use of the ACC acronym may have been
interpreted to imply endorsement of the trademarked equipment. 
Please be advised that an endorsement of the specific trademarked
equipment was not intended.  Many spray gun equipment
manufacturers have systems that utilize shaping air to define the
spray pattern and thus were intended to be included in the
generic category.

     The inside cover of the report states,  "This report has
been reviewed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and
approved for publication.  Approval does not signify that the
contents necessarily reflect the views and policy of the Agency,
nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute
endorsement or recommendation for use."

     If there are any questions about the intent of the
discussions in the report, please call Charles H. Darvin at (919)
