Sec. 3.
The following definitions apply throughout this rule:
(1) "Add-on control system" means an air pollution control device, such as a carbon absorber or incinerator, that reduces pollution in an air stream by destruction or removal prior to discharge to the ambient air.(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:(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.(17) "Normally closed" means a container or piping system is closed unless an operator is actively engaged in adding or removing material.(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:(A) Military and United States Coast Guard vessels.(B) Commercial cargo and passenger (cruise) ships.(G) Patrol and pilot boats.(H) Dredges. As used in this rule, offshore oil and gas drilling platforms are not considered ships.
(21) "Shipbuilding or ship repair facility" means any facility that builds, repairs, repaints, converts, or alters ships.(22) "Specialty coating" means any coating that is manufactured and used for one (1) of the following specialized applications:(A) "Air flask coating" means any special composition coating applied to interior surfaces of high pressure breathing air flasks to provide corrosion resistance and that is certified safe for use with breathing air supplies.(B) "Antenna coating" means any coating applied to equipment through which electromagnetic signals must pass for reception or transmission.(C) "Antifoulant coating" means any coating that is applied to the underwater portion of a vessel to prevent or reduce the attachment of biological organisms and that is registered with the U.S. EPA as a pesticide under the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.(D) "Heat resistant coating" means any coating that, during normal use, must withstand a temperature of at least two hundred four (204) degrees Centigrade (four hundred (400) degrees Fahrenheit).(E) "High-gloss coating" means any coating that achieves at least eighty-five percent (85%) reflectance on a sixty (60) degree meter when tested by ASTM Method D-523**.(F) "High-temperature coating" means any coating that, during normal use, must withstand a temperature of at least four hundred twenty-six (426) degrees Centigrade (eight hundred (800) degrees Fahrenheit).(G) "Inorganic zinc (high-build) coating" means a coating that contains eight (8) pounds or more elemental zinc incorporated into an inorganic silicate binder that is applied to steel to provide galvanic corrosion resistance. These coatings are typically applied at more than two (2) mil dry film thickness.(H) "Military exterior coating" means any exterior topcoat applied to military or United States Coast Guard vessels that are subject to specific chemical, biological, and radiological washdown requirements. These are also referred to as chemical agent resistant coatings (CARC).(I) "Mist coating" means any low viscosity, thin film, epoxy coating applied to an inorganic zinc primer, that penetrates the porous zinc primer and allows the occluded air to escape through the paint film prior to curing, thus acting as a sealer coat and preventing formation of blisters or pinholes in the final coating system.(J) "Navigational aids coating" means any coating applied to United States Coast Guard buoys or other United States Coast Guard waterway markers when they are recoated aboard ship at their usage site and immediately returned to the water.(K) "Nonskid coating" means any coating applied to the horizontal surfaces of a marine vessel for the specific purpose of providing slip resistance for personnel, vehicles, or aircraft.(L) "Nuclear coating" means any protective coating used to seal porous surfaces, such as steel or concrete, that otherwise would be subject to intrusion by radioactive materials.
