Abstract: We developed the national volatile organic compound (VOC) emission standards for aerosol coatings (40 CFR Part 59, subpart E) pursuant to the requirements of section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Section 183(e) of the CAA requires EPA to regulate consumer or commercial products that account for at least 80 percent of the VOC emissions, on a reactivity-adjusted basis, in areas that violate the national ambient air quality standards for ozone. The CAA also directs EPA to divide the consumer or commercial products into four groups, and establish priorities for regulation until all 4 groups are regulated. Of the 22 source categories identified and divided into four groups, the aerosol coatings source category is in Group III, and is currently slated for regulation. When these proposed standards are final, regulated entities will have to comply with recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the new rule. This ICR includes the burden for activities that will be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the national volatile organic compound (VOC) emission standards for aerosol coatings. The regulated entities will read instructions to determine how they will be affected by the rule. New and existing regulated entities will have to submit an initial notification. Regulated entities will also be required to submit a notification of compliance and maintain records.
