National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Consumer Products (40 CFR part 59, subpart C) (Renewal)

The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). The standards for consumer products are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart C. The information collection includes initial reports and periodic recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to ensure compliance with Federal standards for VOC in consumer products. Respondents are manufacturers, distributors, and importers of consumer products. All information submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, Confidentiality of Business Information. The reports required under the standards enable the EPA to identify all consumer products manufacturers, distributors, and importers in the United States and to determine which consumer products are subject to the standards.
