Last January, collision repair 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.
For an existing affected source, the compliance deadline is this Monday, Jan. 10, and full compliance status is due by March 11.
The regulation and a fact sheet designed by the EPA are available on the ASA legislative website, www.TakingtheHill.com.
