Current through November 25, 2024

Section NR 466.02 - Definitions

For terms not defined in this section, the definitions contained in chs. NR 400 and 460 apply to the terms used in this chapter, with definitions in ch. NR 460 taking priority over definitions in ch. NR 400. If this section defines a term which is also defined in ch. NR 400 or 460, the definition in this section applies in this chapter.

(1) "Always-controlled work station" means a work station associated with a dryer from which the exhaust is delivered to a control device, with no provision for the dryer exhaust to bypass the control device. Sampling lines for analyzers and relief valves needed for safety purposes are not considered bypass lines.

(2) "Car-seal" means a seal that is placed on a device that is used to change the position of a valve or damper, for example, from open to closed, in a way that the position of the valve or damper cannot be changed without breaking the seal.

(3) "Certified product data sheet" or "CPDS" means documentation furnished by suppliers of inks, coatings, varnishes, adhesives, primers, solvents and other materials or by an outside laboratory that provides the organic HAP content of these materials, by weight, measured using Method 311 in 40 CFR Part 63, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04, or an equivalent or alternative method, or formulation data as provided for in s. NR 466.09(2), and the solids content of these materials, by weight, determined in accordance with s. NR 466.09(3).

(4) "Coating operation" means the application of a uniform layer of material across the entire width of a substrate.

(5) "Coating station" means a work station on which a coating operation is conducted.

(6) "Control device efficiency" means the ratio of organic HAP emissions recovered or destroyed by a control device to the total HAP emissions that are introduced into the control device, expressed as a percentage.

(7) "Facility" means all contiguous or adjoining property that is under common ownership or control, including properties that are separated only by a road or other public right-of-way.

(8) "Flexographic press" means an unwind or feed section, a series of individual work stations, one or more of which is a flexographic print station, any dryers, including interstage dryers and overhead tunnel dryers, associated with the work stations, and a rewind, stack or collection station. The work stations may be oriented vertically, horizontally or around the circumference of a single large impression cylinder. Inboard and outboard work stations, including those employing any other technology, such as rotogravure, are included if they are capable of printing or coating on the same substrate.

(9) "Flexographic print station" means a work station on which a flexographic printing operation is conducted. A flexographic print station includes a printing plate which is an image carrier made of rubber or other elastomeric material on which the image, type and art, to be printed is raised above the printing plate.

(10) "HAP applied" means the organic HAP content of all inks, coatings, varnishes, adhesives, primers, solvent and other materials applied to a substrate by a product and packaging rotogravure or wide-web flexographic printing affected source.

(12) "HAP used" means the organic HAP applied by a publication rotogravure printing affected source, including all organic HAP used for cleaning, parts washing, proof presses and all organic HAP emitted during tank loading, ink mixing and storage.

(13) "Intermittently-controllable work station" means a work station associated with a dryer with provisions for the dryer exhaust to be delivered to or diverted from a control device depending on the position of a valve or damper.

(14) "Month" means a calendar month or a prespecified period of 28 days to 35 days.

(15) "Never-controlled work station" means a work station which is not equipped with provisions by which any emissions, including those in the exhaust from any associated dryer, may be delivered to a control device.

(16) "Overall organic HAP control efficiency" means the total efficiency of a control system, determined either by the product of the capture efficiency and the control device efficiency or a liquid-liquid material balance.

(17) "Print station" means a work station on which a printing operation is conducted.

(18) "Printing operation" means the formation of words, designs and pictures on a substrate other than fabric through the application of material to that substrate.

(19) "Product and packaging rotogravure printing" means the production, on a rotogravure press, of any printed substrate not otherwise defined as publication rotogravure printing. This includes, but is not limited to, folding cartons, flexible packaging, labels and wrappers, gift wraps, wall and floor coverings, upholstery, decorative laminates and tissue products.

(20) "Proof press" means any device used only to check the quality of the image formation of rotogravure cylinders or flexographic plates, which prints only non-saleable items.

(21) "Publication rotogravure printing" means the production, on a rotogravure press, of any of the following saleable paper products:

(a) Catalogues, including mail order and premium.

(b) Direct mail advertisements, including circulars, letters, pamphlets, cards, and printed envelopes.

(c) Display advertisements, including general posters, outdoor advertisements, car cards, window posters; counter and floor displays; and point of purchase and other printed display material.

(d) Magazines.

(e) Miscellaneous advertisements, including brochures, pamphlets, catalog sheets, circular folders, announcements, package inserts, book jackets, market circulars, magazine inserts and shopping news.

(f) Newspapers, magazine and comic supplements for newspapers, and preprinted newspaper inserts, including hi-fi and spectacolor rolls and sections.

(g) Periodicals.

(h) Telephone and other directories, including business reference services.

(22) "Research or laboratory equipment" means any equipment for which the primary purpose is to conduct research and development into new processes and products, where the equipment is operated under the close supervision of technically trained personnel and is not engaged in the manufacture of products for commercial sale in commerce, except in a de minimis manner.

(23) "Rotogravure press" means an unwind or feed section, a series of one or more work stations, one or more of which is a rotogravure print station, any dryers associated with the work stations, and a rewind, stack or collection section. Inboard and outboard work stations including those employing any other technology, such as flexography, are included if they are capable of printing or coating on the same substrate.

(24) "Rotogravure print station" means a work station on which a rotogravure printing operation is conducted. A rotogravure print station includes both a cylinder on which the image, type and art, to be printed is etched or engraved below the surface of the cylinder, and an ink supply.

(25) "Stand-alone coating equipment" means an unwind or feed section, a series of one or more coating stations and any associated dryers, and a rewind, stack or collection section that is not part of a product and packaging rotogravure or wide-web flexographic press, but is used to conduct one or more coating operations on a substrate. Stand-alone coating equipment may or may not do any of the following:

(a) Process substrate that is also processed by a product and packaging rotogravure or wide-web flexographic press.

(b) Apply solids-containing materials that are also applied by a product and packaging rotogravure or wide-web flexographic press.

(c) Utilize a control device that is also utilized by a product and packaging rotogravure or wide-web flexographic press.

Note: Stand-alone coating equipment is sometimes referred to as "off-line" coating equipment.

(26) "Wide-web flexographic press" means a flexographic press capable of printing substrates greater than 18 inches in width.

(27) "Work station" means a unit on a rotogravure or wide-web flexographic press where material is deposited onto a substrate.
