Autobody Refinishing Requirements
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at
Area Sources
Kim Teal, Rule WriterU.S. EPA, Office of Air & Radiation
Office of Air Quality Planning and StandardsSector Policies and Programs Division
Natural Resources and Commerce Group(919) 541-5580
BACKGROUND• Clean Air Act (CAA)
– EPA sets limits on the emissions of a pollutant– States may implement stronger pollution controls– States historically implement the requirements
• Air toxics– EPA refers to chemicals that cause serious
health and environmental hazards as hazardous air pollutants (HAP) or air toxics
– The CAA deals more strictly with large sources (major ) than small ones, but EPA must regulate small sources (area) of HAP as well
– Major sources are to use Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) to reduce pollutant releases; this is a very high level of control.
• Regulatory History– HAP standards for major sources in 2004– National volatile organic compound (VOC)
standards for refinish coatings in 1998 • Why we need an area source rule
– CAA requires EPA to identify >30 HAP that pose the greatest potential health threat in urban areas,
– Refinishing was a source of some of these HAP– EPA must consider MACT when developing
standards but must issue Generally Available Control Technology (GACT), at a minimum.
• Pollutants of Concern for RefinishingChromium, Cadmium, Lead, and Manganese
BACKGROUND (cont’d)
Goals
• Address remaining urban air pollution following regulation of major sources
• Mitigate human health complications due to inherently urban industrial activities
• Although individually small, aggregate emissions may contribute significantly to adverse health effects of exposed populations.
RULE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
• Industry research• Emission reduction options
• Environmental & economic impacts
• Proposal• Comment• Promulgation of a final rule
COMMUNICATION
• Refinishing, restoration, and fleet maintenance shops
• Small Business Environmental Assistance Programs (SBEAP) Representatives
• Automobile Services Association (ASA)• Automotive Aftermarket Industry
Association (AAIA)• National Paint & Coatings Association
(NPCA)• Trade schools and community colleges• State & local representatives
Communication Forum
• Shop visits• Public meetings• Conferences• Trade magazines• Websites• Electronic mail• Phone calls
OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE
• Most shops use booths• Different levels of throughput
– Hobbyist– Restoration (1-2 cars/yr, high $/job, private pay)– Small collision repair shops (3-10 cars/wk,
primarily insurance)– Mobile repair operations (spot repairs @
dealerships)– Large collision repair (>20 cars/wk, wide range of
services, insurance & private pay)– Fleet maintenance & repair (private business,
State or local government, in house work, etc.)
Industry-expressed Goals• Level the playing field• Point of Sale restrictions• Spray booths• Clean operations• Consider potential economic impact
on shops supported by insurance work
• Eliminate dirty shops to improve image
Applicability
• Spray application of coating…as part of repair, maintenance, and restoration… automobiles, …except – refinishing performed by individuals on
their personal vehicles, property or possessions, either as a hobby or for maintenance of their personal vehicles, possessions, or property provided they coat no more than two vehicles per year.
Definition of Spray Application
• Spray application of coatings requires the use of a hand-held device that creates an atomized mist of coating and deposits the coating on a substrate except:
spray gun or air brush with a paint cup capacity that is less than 3.0 fluid ounces
powder coating or non-atomizing technology
-handheld, non-refillable aerosol containers
- thermal spray operations in which solid metallic or non-metallic material is heated to a molten or semi-molten state and propelled to the work piece or substrate by compressed air or other gas, where a bond is produced upon impact
Definition of Spray Application
Generally Available Control Technology (GACT) Requirements
• Autobody Refinishing Operations–High volume low pressure (HVLP)
spray gun–Proper training–Spray booth
–Emissions from atomized spray gun washing must be controlled
TRUE OR FALSE???
By the year 2011, the EPA is looking into
restricting the sale of auto body paints to only those who are certified
to use the product.
U.S. EPA did not propose or finalize any prohibition on the sale of refinish paints nor does EPA have plans to prohibit the sale of refinish paints in the future!
FALSE…
TRUE OR FALSE???Unless you are certified,
and have a $100,000 filtered paint booth, you won't be able to buy the necessary paints to restore old cars, trucks or motorcycles."
The only booth requirement is that it must have a roof + 3 sides for full vehicles or a roof + 2 sides for parts! It does not specify that it must be permanent nor commercially purchased and installed.
FALSE…

Collision Repair Collision Repair CampaignCampaign
Holly Wilson, Team LeaderCommunity Air Program OAQPSJuly 2008
Collision Repair Collision Repair CampaignCampaign
The CRC began as a voluntary community air toxics initiative.EPA regional air toxics were receiving calls from communities identifying emissions & odors from auto body shops as a possible health andenvironmental concern.
These shops are widespread in nature and tend to be clustered in low-income, minority, and mix use neighborhoods.
Many shops are small businesses and do not use standard methods for auto body repair & painting.
Some of the smaller shops do not or can not comply with acceptedindustry practices or current control technology.
