final rule may not be challenged separately in any civil or criminal
proceedings brought by the EPA to enforce the requirements.
II. Regulatory Revisions
A. Background and Summary
The EPA initially promulgated the ``National Volatile Organic
Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings'' (aerosol coatings
rule) on March 24, 2008 (73 FR 15604), and codified the action at 40
CFR part 59, subpart E (sections 59.500-59.516). The rule establishes
nationwide VOC reactivity-based standards for the aerosol coatings
source category under CAA section 183(e). As relevant here, CAA section
183(e) requires the EPA to control VOC emissions from certain
categories of consumer and commercial products for purposes of reducing
VOC emissions that contribute to ozone formation and nonattainment of
the ozone national ambient air quality standards.
The EPA has amended the original aerosol coatings rule several
times to respond to petitions and to make rule clarifications. Many of
the amendments were made pursuant to a provision in 40 CFR 59.511(j)
that allows regulated entities that elect against using the default
reactivity factors (RF) to calculate product-weighted reactivity (PWR)
limits to ``petition the Administrator to add a compound to Table 2A,
2B, or 2C of this subpart.'' Such petitions ``must include the chemical
name, CAS number, a statement certifying the intent to use the compound
in an aerosol coatings product, and adequate information for the
Administrator to evaluate the reactivity of the compound and assign a
RF. . . .'' Through this process, the EPA amended the aerosol coatings
rule to move the applicability and initial compliance date for aerosol
coatings, as specified in 40 CFR 59.501(c) and 59.502(a), from January
1, 2009, to July 1, 2009, and to require initial notification reports
under 40 CFR 59.501(f)(3)(i), 59.511(b), and 59.511(e), to be due on
the compliance date rather than 90 days in advance of the compliance
date (73 FR 78994); and to add 131 compounds, corresponding RFs, and
CAS numbers for each compound or class of compounds listed in 40 CFR
part 59, table 2 (79 FR 29604).
As for rule clarifications, the EPA has made revisions that clarify
which VOC are to be quantified in compliance determinations (79 FR
29604); to inform regulated entities that VOC normally exempt by
definition under 40 CFR 51.100(s)(1) and (s)(5) must nevertheless be
counted as VOC for the purposes determining compliance with the aerosol
coatings rule (74 FR 29595); and to ensure that both the certifying
entity and the regulated entity have full knowledge of responsibilities
assumed by the certifying entity (74 FR 29595).
Most recently, on January 17, 2025, in response to petitions from
the American Coatings Association (ACA), the EPA finalized amendments
to the aerosol coatings rule that promoted consistency and uniformity,
as appropriate, between the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
Regulation for Reducing Ozone Formed from Aerosol Coating Product
Emissions and the national aerosol coatings rule (90 FR 5697). In the
January 17, 2015, final action, the EPA set a compliance date of July
17, 2025, for the amendments to the national aerosol coatings rule,
based upon the Agency's then understanding of the lead time regulated
entities would need to take actions to comply. Although some commenters
had requested a later compliance date, the EPA did not have factual
information to justify a later compliance date at that time. However,
in response to commenters, the EPA made the effective date for the
amendments to be the date of publication, i.e., January 17, 2025, for
the benefit of regulated entities that elect to comply with the amended
requirements of the aerosol coatings rule voluntarily in advance.
Following the issuance of the final rule, certain regulated
entities expressed concern about the July 17, 2025, compliance date. On
March 3, 2025, ACA sent a letter on behalf of its members notifying the
EPA that it is not possible for some aerosol coatings manufacturers to
comply with the amended rule by the current July 17, 2025, compliance
date. On March 18, 2025, the EPA received a petition for review,
reconsideration, and stay of the final rule from the Coalition for Fair
Aerosol Regulation (CFAR) and Diamond Vogel, Inc. These Petitioners
provided additional information supporting the need for additional time
for compliance by certain regulated entities. Specifically, the
Petitioners contend that significantly more time is required to
reformulate, relabel, and communicate with suppliers, customers, and
distributors. Petitioner Diamond Vogel indicated that it and its
customers manufacture and package many different aerosol coatings
products that will require reformulation and that this can be
challenging and time consuming. In addition, the petitioner explained
that it will need to undertake these actions for multiple products for
itself and multiple customers simultaneously. The petitioner stated its
belief that it will be able to reformulate the existing aerosol
coatings products, but that this will require substantially more time.
The CFAR and Diamond Vogel petition for reconsideration is in the
docket for this action. This more detailed information concerning the
time need for regulated entities to comply was not available to the EPA
during the rulemaking for the January 17, 2025, amendments to the
aerosol coatings rule.
After evaluation of the additional information, the EPA granted the
petition for reconsideration by a letter dated April 3, 2025. 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.
B. Specific Regulatory Revisions
The regulatory revisions necessary to change the compliance dates
associated with the standards in this rule (40 CFR part 59, subpart E)
to January 17, 2027, are to amend 40 CFR 59.502 by revising paragraphs
(a) and (d); 40 CFR 59.505 by revising paragraph (h); 40 CFR 59.509 by
revising paragraph (g); 40 CFR 59.511 by revising paragraph (k); and 40
CFR 59.512 by revising paragraph (b), and to revise appendix A to
subpart E of part 59. In addition, we are revising the titles in
appendix A to subpart E of part 59, including table 1, table 2A, table
2B, table 2C, and table 3.
[[Page 28907]]
III. Rulemaking Procedures
As noted in section I.C. of this document, the EPA's authority for
the rulemaking procedures followed in this action is provided by APA
section 553(b)(B). This provision authorizes agencies to forego prior
notice and comment ``when the agency for good cause finds (and
incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons, therefore,
in the rule issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.''
The EPA finds good cause to issue this notice without prior notice
and comment because such procedures are impracticable. Specifically,
there is insufficient time before the July 17, 2025, compliance date to
address the new information submitted by Petitioners on compliance
difficulties absent immediate action. The January 17, 2025, amendments
to the aerosol coatings rule impose revised regulatory requirements on
regulated entities. Although the information then available to the EPA
indicated that the July 17, 2025, compliance date would provide
sufficient time for regulated entities to comply with the amendments,
the Agency subsequently received additional information concerning the
time needed for compliance for many regulated entities. Specifically,
information provided in the March 18, 2025 petition for reconsideration
submitted by CFAR and Diamond Vogel, Inc. explains in detail the need
for additional time for some regulated entities to reformulate
products, to relabel containers, and to communicate changes with
suppliers, customers, and distributors. This additional information
provided by the Petitioners supports the need for extending the
compliance date.
The compliance date is a significant element of any regulation,
especially one that may require regulated entities to undertake time-
consuming changes to products like aerosol coatings. Regulated entities
may need significant time to initiate changes in advance of a
compliance date given the interrelated steps discussed above. Because
of the imminent July 17, 2025 compliance date, the EPA has determined
that it would be impracticable to undertake prior notice and comment in
the time available to provide regulated entities sufficient time to
comply without unavoidable adverse consequences or potential
inadvertent violations of the amended requirements.
The EPA has concluded based on information provided in the petition
referenced above that meaningful compliance by some regulated entities
will not be possible by the existing compliance deadline. This
information was not available to the EPA in relevant part when it set
the existing compliance deadline for the amendments to the aerosol
coatings rule of July 17, 2025, and the existing compliance deadline
does not meaningfully take these challenges into account. Under these
circumstances, refraining from amending the compliance deadline before
it goes into effect would needlessly put many regulated entities out of
compliance and ultimately jeopardize the EPA's ability to work with
regulated entities to achieve the protective outcomes envisioned in the
aerosol coatings rule.
For the reasons discussed earlier in this document, this interim
final rule is effective immediately upon publication. APA section
553(d) provides that final rules may become effective upon publication
in the Federal Register if the rule ``relieves a restriction,'' is an
interpretive rule or statement of policy, or if the agency otherwise
finds ``good cause'' for doing so. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1)-(3). The purpose
of this provision is ``to give affected parties a reasonable time to
adjust their behavior before the final rule takes effect.'' Omnipoint
Corp. v. FCC, 78 F.3d 620, 630 (D.C. Cir. 1996). In determining whether
good cause exists to waive the 30-day delay, an agency should ``balance
the necessity for immediate implementation against principles of
fundamental fairness which require all affected persons be afforded a
reasonable amount of time to prepare for the effective date of its
ruling.'' Id. (citing United States v. Gavrilovic, 551 F.2d 1099, 1105
(8th Cir 1977)). The EPA has determined that there is good cause for
making this final rule effective immediately under section 553(d)
because it relieves obligations to achieve full compliance with the
amended aerosol coating rule by the existing deadline. As such,
regulated parties do not require additional time to adjust their
behavior before this final rule goes into effect. For the same reasons,
the rule also ``relieves a restriction'' under section 553(d)(1).
IV. Request for Comment
As explained in section III of this document, the EPA finds good
cause to take this interim final action without prior notice or
opportunity for public comment. However, the EPA is providing an
opportunity for comment on extension of the compliance date for the
amendments to the aerosol coating rule finalized on January 17, 2025,
and requests comment on the revisions described in this rule. The EPA
is not reopening for comment any provisions of the aerosol coatings
final rule amendments other than the specific provisions that are
expressly amended in this interim final rule. The EPA will review and
respond to any comments received, including by making changes to this
action if appropriate.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Orders 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review. In the amendments to the aerosol coatings final rule (90 FR
5697), the Agency estimated that there are no adverse economic impacts
anticipated from compliance with that rule. However, Petitioners have
requested that the Agency delay the compliance date from July 17, 2025,
to January 17, 2027, suggesting that the revised compliance date may
lead to a reduction in burden. Delaying the compliance date until
January 17, 2027, could result in cost savings for any regulated entity
that needs to reformulate their products and adapt their distribution
methods to implement the requirements of the amendments in the final
rule.
B. Executive Order 14192: Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation
This action is considered an Executive Order 14192 deregulatory
action. This final rule provides burden reduction by delaying the
compliance date to allow regulated entities additional time to come
into compliance.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
The information collection does not impose any new information
collection burden under the PRA. The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has previously approved the information collection activities
that apply to the regulated entities affected by this action and has
assigned OMB control number 2060-0617. This action does not change the
information collection requirements.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. The EPA
concludes that this rule will not have a significant
[[Page 28908]]
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the
rule has no net increase in burden on the small entities subject to the
rule.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This final action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100
million as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action imposes
no enforceable duty on any State, local, or Tribal governments or the
private sector. This rule extends the deadline for compliance from July
17, 2025, to January 17, 2027.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the National Government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have Tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. The rule will extend the deadline for compliance
for regulated entities from July 17, 2025, to January 17, 2027. It does
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes, in
that this action imposes no regulatory burdens on Tribes. Thus,
Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045 directs Federal agencies to include an
evaluation of the health and safety effects of the planned regulation
on children in Federal health and safety standards and explain why the
regulation is preferable to potentially effective and reasonably
feasible alternatives. This action is not subject to Executive Order
13045 because it is not a significant regulatory action under section
(3)(f)(1) of Executive Order 12866 and because the EPA does not believe
the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action
present a disproportionate risk to children.
I. Executive Order 13211 Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action does not involve technical standards; therefore, the
NTTAA does not apply.
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801-808, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States.
