National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Automobile Refinish Coatings (Renewal)

The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to regulate volatile organic compound emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of the consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Automobile refinish coatings were included on the list, and the standards for such coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart B. The reports required under the standards enable EPA to identify all coating and coating components manufacturers and importer in the US and to determine which coating and coating components are subject to the standards, based on dates of manufacture.
