ASA Reminds Repair Shops that Automotive Paint Regulation Compliance Deadline Was January 11
By January 11, 2010, body shops were required to file an Initial Notification with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or their state, in compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Paint Stripping, and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations Rule, which became effective in January 2008.To view the Initiation Notification form, visit the U.S. EPA Collision Repair Campaign’s Web site at www.epa.gov/collisionrepair. There you will find where to send your completed form, an updated list of the states that have taken delegation of the rule, and a list of regional contacts under the “Regional Campaign Projects” link on the left menu. These contacts are available to answer questions about the rule.
The Automotive Service Association (ASA) has partnered with the EPA to promote the Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations Rule, and hosted EPA representatives at the International Autobody Congress and Exposition (NACE) in Las Vegas in November 2009. These representatives held informational sessions and handed out compliance information pamphlets and DVDs on rule requirements and management practices.
The Automotive Service Association is the largest not-for-profit trade association of its kind dedicated to and governed by independent automotive service and repair professionals.
