Executive Summary
CTFA OBJECTS TO CALIFORNIA PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH VOC REGS FOR OTCs and prescription drugs intended for external use. In comments filed with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) on June 19, the Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Association argued that OTCs should not be subject to California's volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations because over-the-counter drugs "are even more heavily regulated" by FDA than are personal care products.
