Pursuant to section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA is required to control VOC emissions from consumer and commercial products to reduce ozone formation and nonattainment of the ozone national ambient air quality standards. In accordance, on March 24, 2008, EPA promulgated the aerosol coatings rule (40 CFR Part 59, subpart E). The rule employs a reactivity-based approach to address VOC emissions from spray paints. In 2017 and 2020, the American Coatings Association (ACA) petitioned the EPA and requested updates to the national aerosol coatings rule. They asserted that the updates would provide “clarity” and “uniformity” with California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) aerosol coatings regulation, thereby reducing burdens and costs to their industry. In response, EPA amended the aerosol coatings rule. On March 18, 2025, the EPA received a petition for review, reconsideration, and stay of the final rule amendments from the Coalition for Fair Aerosol Regulation and Diamond Vogel, Inc. In the petition for reconsideration, the petitioners provided additional information supporting the need for additional time for compliance by certain regulated entities. Specifically, the petitioners contend that significant time is required to reformulate, relabel, and communicate with suppliers, customers, and distributors. In this interim final action, the EPA is changing the compliance date for the amendments to the aerosol coatings rule from July 17, 2025, to January 17, 2027.
