National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings (40 CFR Part 59 Subpart E)

11 organizations filed 15 public comments on National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings (40 CFR Part 59 Subpart E), at the Environmental Protection Agency. The comment window closed 361d ago.

Abstract

The standard is a national reactivity-based VOC regulation for aerosol coatings (spray paints). The standard implements section 183(e) of the CAA, which requires the EPA to control VOC emissions from consumer and commercial products for purposes of minimizing VOC emissions contributing to ozone formation and causing nonattainment. States have promulgated rules for the aerosol coatings category based upon reductions of VOC by mass; however, the EPA believes that a national rule based upon the relative reactivity approach may achieve more reduction in ozone formation than can be achieved by a mass-based approach for this specific product category.
