Affected: IC 13-12

Sec. 3.

The following definitions apply throughout this rule:

(2) "As applied" means the condition of a coating at the time of application to the substrate, including any thinning solvent.
(3) "As supplied" means the condition of a coating before any thinning, as sold and delivered by the coating manufacturer to the user.
(4) "Batch" means the product of an individual production run of a coating manufacturer's process. A batch is characterized by uniform composition that may vary slightly from other batches of the same product.
(5) "Capture efficiency" means the weight per unit time of VOC entering a capture system and delivered to a control device divided by the weight per unit time of VOC generated by a source of VOC, expressed as a percentage.
(6) "Capture system" means all equipment, including, but not limited to:
(A) hoods;
(B) ducts;
(C) fans;
(D) booths;
(E) ovens; and
(F) dryers;

that contains, collects, and transports an air pollutant to a control device.

(7) "Certify" means, in reference to the VOC content of a coating, to attest to the VOC content as determined through analysis by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Method 24 in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A*, or through use of the forms and procedures outlined in the U.S. EPA Publication EPA 450/ 3-84-019, revised June 1986*. In the case of conflicting results, the U.S. EPA Method 24* shall be the reference method.
(8) "Cleaning materials" means materials with a VOC content exceeding zero (0), used to remove contaminants, such as paints and coatings, from paint guns, hoses, and containers by flushing and spraying.
(9) "Commercial vessel" means any vessel not owned and operated by the United States military or the United States Coast Guard.
(10) "Container of coating" means, for purposes of demonstrating compliance under section 5(3) and 5(4) of this rule, the container from which the coating is applied, such as a bucket or pot.
(11) "Control device" means equipment, such as an incinerator or carbon adsorber, used to reduce, by destruction or removal, the amount of air pollutant or pollutants in an air stream prior to discharge to the ambient air.
(12) "Control system" means a combination of one (1) or more capture systems and control devices working in concert to reduce discharge of pollutants to the ambient air.
(13) "Destruction or removal efficiency" means the amount of VOC destroyed or removed by a control device expressed as a percent of the total amount of VOC entering the device.
(14) "Epoxy" means any thermoset coating formed by reaction of an epoxy resin, that is, a resin containing a reactive epoxide or oxirane function, such as the condensation product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, with a curing agent, such as a polyamide or polyamine.
(15) "Exempt compounds" has the meaning of nonphotochemical reactive hydrocarbon as established in 326 IAC 1-2-48.
(16) "General use coating" means a coating that is applied over the preconstruction primer to provide long term protection for both the substrate and the underlying coating and that is not a specialty coating.

(18) "Operating day" means a twenty-four (24) hour period between midnight (12:00 a.m.) and the following midnight during which a facility is engaged in manufacturing or repair operations. It is not necessary for the facility to operate continuously for the entire twenty-four (24) hour period.
(19) "Overall emission reduction efficiency" means the weight per unit time of VOC removed or destroyed by a control system divided by the weight per unit time of VOC generated by a source, expressed as a percentage. The overall emission reduction efficiency is the product of the capture efficiency and the control device destruction or removal efficiency.
(20) "Ship" means any marine or freshwater vessel made of steel and used for military or commercial operations, including self-propelled vessels, those propelled by other craft (barges), and navigational aids (buoys). The term includes, but is not limited to, all of the following:
