| 96-8005 | National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Consumer Products | Proposed Rule | The proposed standards would reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from certain categories of consumer products. The proposed standards implement Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and are based on the Administrator's determination that VOC emissions from the use of consumer products can cause or contribute to ozone levels that violate the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone. Ozone is a major component of smog which causes negative health and environmental impacts when present in high concentrations at ground level. These proposed standards would reduce VOC emissions by 90,000 tons per year, by requiring manufacturers, importers, and distributors to limit the VOC content of consumer products. The proposed requirements were developed in consultation with major stakeholders and are largely consistent with a proposal by representatives of the affected industry and are similar to existing standards in certain States. To date, many companies have taken steps to reformulate their products to emit less VOCs. A public hearing will be held, if requested, to provide interested persons an opportunity for oral presentation of data, views, or arguments concerning the proposed standards for consumer products. | 1996-04-02 | 1996 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/04/02/96-8005/national-volatile-organic-compound-emission-standards-for-consumer-products | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-04-02/pdf/96-8005.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The proposed standards would reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from certain categories of consumer products.
