>>>>>>>  
II. Adopted: DATE , 2022  
This Statement of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority, and Purpose complies with the requirements of the Colorado Administrative Procedure Act §24-4- 103, the Colorado Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act 
§§25-7- 110 and 25-7- 110.5, and the Air Quality Control Commission’s (Commission) Procedural Rules.  
Basis  
On DATE, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule that determined 
that Colorado’s serious  ozone nonattainment area failed to attain the 2008 8- hour Ozone National 
Ambient Air  Quality Standard (NAAQS). EPA, therefore, reclassified the Denver Metro North Front Range 
(DMNFR) area to severe and required attainment of the NAAQS no later than July 20, 2027.  In a continued effort to reduce ozone precursor emissions and achieve the ozone NAAQS and provide for 
contingency measures, the Commission adopted revisions to the VOC content limits for consumer 
products manufactured and/or sold in Colorado.  
Specific Statutory Authority  
The Colorado Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act, §§2 5-7-105(1)(a), 25-7- 201 through 25-7- 206, 25-
7-210, 25-7- 301, and 25-7- 302, C.R.S., authorize the Commission to promulgate a comprehensive State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) to assure attainment and maintenance of national ambient air quality 
standards in conformance with the Federal and Colorado Acts. Sections 105(1)(b) and 109 authorize the 
Commission to establish emission control regulations, including pertaining to hydrocarbons. Section 
106(1) authorizes the Commission to establish emission control regulations applicable to the entire state or only within specified areas of the state. Section 106(6) authorizes the Commission to require owners or operators of any air pollution source to establish and maintain reports and record, monitor, and sample emissions . Section 109(2) authorizes the Commission to adopt emission control regulations to reduce 
emissions of various pollutants, including chemical substances.  
Purpose  
The Commission adopted new and revised VOC standards in the OTC model rule  for consumer products 
manufactured, distributed, or sold in Colorado. The standards as applied in the DMNFR  and northern 
Weld County  are included in Colorado’s ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP) and in the remainder of 
the state as state- only requirements. Specifically, the Commission adopted VOC standards in the OTC 
cons umer products model rule phase V (201 8). The OTC model rules are based on the California Air 
Resources Board (CARB) standards. CARB develops standards based on technical information and extensive survey data, which is also used to determine compliance with the standards. The Commission adopted definitions, exemptions, labeling, and recordkeeping provisions based on the OTC model rule. However, the Commission did not adopt new or revised VOC standards in the OTC model rule phase V for windshield water repellent, due to freezing and safety concerns; gear, chain, or wire or penetrant 
lubricant s, due to reformulation limitations; and aerosols, due to propellant concerns. The Colorado 
legislature recently passed House Bill 22- 1345 (Concerning measures to increase protections from 
perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals) which allows the use of hydrofluoroolefins as propellants in cosmetics and fabric treatment, but only until 2027. After January 1, 2027, manufacturers will not be able to use current propellants in these aerosol products and are, therefore, unsure of the ability of future products to comply with the OTC VOC content limits. However, the Commission  anticipates  that the 
Division will reevaluat e these aerosol VOC content limits in the future.  Similarly, the Commission 
anticipates that the Division will reevaluate the new and revised aerosol VOC content limits should EPA take similar action limiting the use of hydrofluoroolefins in EPA’s per and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
(PFAS) actions.  
The Commission adopted these standards with a later implementation date as a contingency measure for 
the 2008 ozone SIP. The Clean Air Act § 172(c)(9) requires nonattainment area SIPs provide for the 
implementation of contingency measures should the area fail to attain the NAAQS.  Therefore, these new 
and revised VOC standards and definitions will only apply 60 days after the effective date of a finding by EPA of a failure by Colorado to attain the 2008 ozone NAAQS . 
Additional Considerations  
Colorado must continue to reduce ozone concentrations to attain both the 2008 ozone NAAQS and the 
2015 ozone NAAQS. The CAA does not expressly address all of the provisions adopted by the 
Commission. Rather, federal law establishes  the 8- hour ozone NAAQS and requires Colorado to develop 
a SIP adequate to attain the NAAQS. Therefore, the Commission revised Regulation Number 21 to 
include contingency measures  for the 2008 8- hour ozone NAAQS. These revisions do not exceed or 
differ from the federal act due to state flexibility in developing nonattainment area SIPs. In addition, EPA’s national rules, promulgated in 1998, do not limit states from developing more stringent levels of control to attain the ozone standard. However, in accordance with C.R.S. § 25- 7-110.5(5)(b), the Commission 
nonetheless determines:  
(I) In 1998, EPA established national standards to reduce VOC emissions from architectural 
coatings and consumer products. EPA’s national rules do not limit states from developing 
more stringent levels of control to attain the ozone standard. The OTC model rules, which 
are the basis for the division’s proposal, achieve additional VOC reductions over EPA’s national rules in 40 CFR Part 59, Subparts C and D.  
(II) The federal rules discussed in (I) are primarily technology -based in that the rules largely 
prescribe the use of specific VOC contents in order to comply. The federal rules provide 
flexibility by allowing reformulation to meet the VOC content limits. The federal rules also 
provide some product and quantity exemptions.  
(III) The CAA establishes the 8- hour ozone NAAQS and requires Colorado to develop SIP 
revisions that will ensure attainment of the NAAQS. The ozone NAAQS was not determined taking into account concerns unique to Colorado. EPA’s 1998 federal 
consumer products and architectural coatings rules also do not take into account 
concerns unique to Colorado or limit Colorado from adopting more stringent standards. 
The OTC model rules, which are the basis for the division’s proposal, achiev e additional 
VOC reductions over EPA’s national rules.  
(IV) Colorado must attain the 2008 ozone NAAQS , as well as the lower 2015 ozone NAAQS. 
The adopted VOC standards, based on the OTC consumer products model rule phase 
five, may prevent or reduce the need for the regulated community to meet more stringent 
requirements later.     
(V) Colorado’s attainment date under the 2008 ozone NAAQS, as a severe ozone 
nonattainment area, is  July 2027 . There are no timing issues that might justify changing 
these time frames.  
(VI) The requirements in Regulation Number 21 address VOC emissions from consumer 
products in a cost -effective manner, allowing for continued economic growth in Colorado.  
(VII) The requirements in Regulation Number 21 establish reasonable equity for sources of 
VOC by p roviding the same categorical standards for the various consumer product 
categories.  
(VIII)  If EPA does not approve Colorado’s SIP, EPA may promulgate a Federal Implementation 
Plan for Colorado. These potential outcomes may subject others to increased costs.  
(IX) The requirements in Regulation Number 21 include minimal monitoring, recordkeeping, 
and procedural requirements that correlate to requirements in the OTC model rules.  
(X) Demonstrated technology is available to comply with the standards in Regulation Number 
21. These standards are being implemented in other states and/or ozone nonattainment 
areas.  
(XI) As set forth in the Economic Impact Analysis, the requirements in Regulation Number 21 contribute to the prevention of ozone in a cost -effective manner.   
(XII) Although alternative rules could also provide reductions in ozone and help to attain the 
NAAQS, the Commission determined that the D ivision’s proposal was reasonable and 
cost-effective.  As part of adopting Regulation Number 21, the Commission has taken into consideration each of the 
factors set forth in C.R.S. § 25 -7-109(1)(b).  
Colorado must continue to reduce ozone concentrations to attain both the ozone NAAQS. However, to the extent that C.R.S. § 25-7- 110.8 requirements apply to this rulemaking, and after considering  all the 
information in the record, the Commission hereby makes the determination that:  
(I) These rules are based upon reasonably available, validated, reviewed, and sound scientific methodologies, and the Commission has considered all information submitted by interested parties.  
(II) Evidence in the record supports the finding that the rules shall result in a demonstrable reduction of the ozone precursor VOC.  
(III) Evidence in the record supports the finding that the rules shall bring about reductions in risks to human health and the environment that justify the costs to implement and comply with the rules.  
(IV) The rules are the most cost -effective to achieve the necessary and desired results, 
provide the regulated community flexibility, and achieve the necessary reduction in air 
pollution.  
(V) The rule will maximize the air quality benefits of regulation in the most cost -effective 
manner.
