### Compliance Options

\[§63.4891\]

You may comply with your emission limits by doing any of the following:

1)  **Compliant Material Option --**

    Each coating you use (either "as-purchased" or "as-applied") must
    not exceed 0.10 kg HAP per liter solids for existing sources,
    determined monthly. New sources must emit no organic HAP unless an
    alternative emission limit is requested and approved. New sources
    with an approved emission limit must emit no more than 0.094 kg HAP
    per liter solids for new sources, determined monthly. Each thinner
    and cleaning material used must contain no organic HAP.

2)  **Emission Rate Without Add-on Controls**

The monthly organic HAP emission rate for coatings (including
adhesives), thinners, and cleaning materials must not exceed 0.10 kg HAP
per liter solids for existing sources, or 0.094 kg HAP per liter solids,
for new sources with approval for an alternative emission limit. New
sources without approval for an alternative emission limit must emit no
organic HAP.

3)  **Emission Rate With Add-On Controls --**

The monthly organic HAP emission rate from coatings, thinners, and
cleaning materials (including the emission capture and control
efficiency) must not exceed 0.10 kg HAP per liter solids for existing
sources, or 0.094 kg HAP per liter solids for new sources with approval
for an alternative emission limit. New sources without approval for an
alternative emission limit must emit no organic HAP.

**Work Practice Standards**

\[63.4893\]

If you use capture and add-on control devices, you must develop and
operate according to a work practice plan. The plan should include
actions to:

-   Cover mixing and storage vessels containing organic HAP-containing
    coatings, thinners, cleaning materials, and waste materials except
    when adding, removing, or mixing contents

-   Use closed containers or pipes to store and convey organic
    HAP-containing coatings, thinners, cleaning materials, and waste
    materials

-   Minimize spills of organic HAP-containing coatings, thinners,
    cleaning materials, and waste materials

-   Minimize organic HAP emissions during cleaning of storage, mixing,
    and conveying equipment

### Who is covered by the rule?

\[§63.4881\]

You are affected if you own or operate an affected source at a facility
that is a major source, is located at a major source, or is part of a
major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP).

**An Affected Source is . . .**

Any new or existing facility that is a major source and applies coatings
to metal furniture.

**Metal Furniture includes, but is not limited to . . .**

Components of furniture constructed either entirely or partially from
metal and components of the following types of products as well as the
products themselves: household, office, institutional, laboratory,
hospital, public building, restaurant, barber and beauty shop, and
dental furniture; office and store fixtures; partitions; shelving;
lockers; lamps and lighting fixtures; and wastebaskets.

**Coatings are . . .**

Materials applied to a substrate for decorative, protective, or
functional purposes and include, but are not limited to, paints,
sealants, caulks, inks, adhesives, and maskants.

### 

### Who is not covered by this rule?

\[§63.4881\]

The following sources are not covered under Subpart RRRR:

-   Sources that only use coatings, thinners, and cleaning materials
    containing no organic HAP

-   Surface coating metal components of wood furniture in an operation
    subject to the wood furniture MACT (40 CFR 63, subpart JJ)

-   Surface coating of small items (e.g., knobs, hinges, or screws) that
    have a wider use beyond metal furniture and are not being coated at
    a metal furniture source.

-   Research or laboratory facilities or part of janitorial or building
    and facility maintenance operations

-   Surface coating for of metal furniture for repair or maintenance and
    not for commerce, unless these activities alone constitute a major
    source

-   Sources that coat metal furniture performed on-site at installations
    owned by the Military, including the Coast Guard and the National
    Guard of any State.

-   Coating application using hand-held nonrefillable aerosol
    containers, touchup markers, or marking pens

### What standards must I follow?

\[§63.4890\]

-   If you are an existing source, limit your emissions to no more than
    0.10 kg organic HAP per liter of coating solids used (0.83 lb/gal)
    each month

-   If you are a new or reconstructed source, you must emit no organic
    HAP each month

-   If you are a new or reconstructed source, and you receive approval
    to use an alternative new source emission limit, you must limit your
    emissions to no more than 0.094 kg organic HAP per liter of coatings
    solids used (0.78 lb/gal) each month

### Operating Limits

\[§63.4892\]

The operating limits are the site-specific parameter limits you
determine for your capture and control devices during the performance
test. Your operating limits must be monitored by a continuous parameter
monitoring system (CPMS).

### Compliance Dates

+------------------+------------+--------------------------------------+

\* When determining if a source is new or existing, the General
Provisions (40 CFR 63, Subpart A) requires us to use the proposal date
of the rule as the cutoff date. For subpart RRRR, the rule proposal date
was April 24, 2002.

Noncompliance with applicable regulations after the compliance date may
result in fines and penalties of up to \$25,000 per day per violation.

### 

### Compliance Calculations

\[§§63.4941 -- 63.4966\]

For Compliance Option No. 1, the collected data for coatings, thinners,
and cleaning materials are used to calculate the organic HAP content of
each material used each month. For Compliance Options No. 2 and 3, an
average monthly emission rate is calculated.

### Notification, Recordkeeping, and Reporting Requirements

**Initial Notification:** \[§63.4910\]

The initial notification states that your facility is subject to the
Metal Furniture Surface Coating standards. You must submit this no later
than May 23, 2004 if you are an existing source. If you are a new
source, September 30, 2003 or initial startup, whichever is later.

**Notification of Intent to Conduct a Performance Test:** \[§63.9(e)\]

If your facility is required to conduct performance tests (e.g., those
with add-on control equipment), you must submit a notification of intent
to conduct a performance test 60 days prior to the test. The performance
test is required no later than May 23, 2006 for existing sources. New or
reconstructed sources must conduct the performance test by November 19,
2003 or within 180 days of startup, whichever is later.

**Notification of Compliance Status:** \[§63.4910\]

You must submit a Notification of Compliance Status (NOCS) by July 30,
2006, if you are an existing source. If you are a new source, the NOCS
must be submitted within 30 days after the end of the initial compliance
period.

**Performance Test Report:** \[§63.4920\]

If your facility is required to conduct performance tests (e.g., those
with add-on control equipment), you must submit a performance test
report within 60 days after completion of the performance test.

**Startup, Shutdown, Malfunction Reports:** \[§63.4920\]

A startup, shutdown, and malfunction report must be submitted
immediately if there was a startup, shutdown, or malfunction of the
control device during the reporting period that is not consistent with
the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan. If actions taken were
consistent with the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the report
must be submitted semiannually.

**Semiannual Compliance Reports:** \[§63.4920\]

After the initial compliance period each affected source must submit
semiannual compliance reports.

**Records:** \[§§63.4930 and 63.4931\]

Your facility is required to keep records of reported information and
all other information necessary to document compliance with the proposed
rule for 5 years. There may be additional requirements depending on the
compliance option that you choose.
