As you were informed in Special Bulletin 2011-02 the “sell through period” for homes containing Phase I formaldehyde materials was set to expire on June 30, 2012.

The California Air Resources Board has released Regulatory Advisory 12-01 which explains the “sell through period” for finished goods” (manufactured homes) containing Phase I formaldehyde materials o December 31, 2013.

This change, coupled with our Pre-Phase I extension and the fact that or manufacturers voluntarily switch to Phase II products months before the mandatory change over date, should bring us into compliance with new emission standards without the need for cost prohibited retrofits.

CMHI is thankful for the responsiveness and guidance from CARB as we work to resolve the issues peculiar to our industry and ensure compliance.
