				KRS
				224.20-100,
				224.20-110,

NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY:
				KRS
				224.10-100 requires the Environmental and
				Public Protection Cabinet to prescribe administrative regulations for the
				prevention, abatement, and control of air pollution.
				42
				USC 7410 likewise requires the state to
				implement standards for national primary and secondary ambient air quality.
				This administrative regulation provides for the control of volatile organic
				compound emissions from existing can surface coating operations.
Section 1. Definitions. As used in this
			 administrative regulation, all terms not defined in this section shall have the
			 meaning given to them in
			 401 KAR
			 61:001.
(1)
			 "Affected facility" means a coating line for cans.
(2) "Applicator" means the mechanism or
			 device used to apply the coating, including but not limited to spray or
			 roller.
(3) "Flash-off area" means
			 the space between the applicator and the oven.
(4) "End sealing compound" means a synthetic
			 rubber compound which is coated onto can ends and functions as a gasket when
			 the end is assembled on the can.
(5) "Exterior base coating" means a coating
			 applied to the exterior of a can to provide exterior protection to the metal
			 and background for the lithographic or printing operation.
(6) "Interior base coating" means a coating
			 applied by roller coater or spray to the interior of a can to provide a
			 protective lining between the can metal and product.
(7) "Interior body spray" means a coating
			 sprayed on the interior of the can body to provide a protective film between
			 the product and the can.
(8)
			 "Overvarnish" means a coating applied directly over ink to reduce the
			 coefficient of friction, to provide gloss and to protect the finish against
			 abrasion and corrosion.
(9) "Three
			 (3) piece can side-seam spray" means a coating sprayed on the exterior and
			 interior of a welded, cemented or soldered seam to protect the exposed
			 metal.
(10) "Two (2) piece can
			 exterior end coating" means a coating applied by roller coating or spraying to
			 the exterior end of a can to provide protection to the metal.
(11) "Coating line" means a series of
			 equipment or operations used to apply, dry, or cure any coatings containing
			 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This shall include, but is not limited to:
(a) Mixing operations;
(b) Process storage;
(c) Applicators;
(d) Drying operations including, but not
			 limited to: flash-off area evaporation, oven drying, baking, curing, and
			 polymerization;
(e) Clean up
			 operations;
(f) Leaks, spills and
			 disposal of VOCs;
(g) Processing
			 and handling of recovered VOCs;
(h)
			 For the purposes of determining compliance with this administrative regulation,
			 if any equipment or operation is considered to be a part of more than one (1)
			 coating line, its VOC emissions shall be assigned to each coating line of which
			 it is a part proportionally to the throughput of VOCs it receives from or
			 distributes to each coating line;
(i) If any portion of the series of equipment
			 or operations qualifies for an exemption according to Section 6 of this
			 administrative regulation, then that portion shall be considered to be a
			 separate coating line.
(12) "Process storage" means mixing tanks,
			 holding tanks, and other tanks, drums, or other containers which contain
			 surface coatings, VOCs, or recovered VOCs; but does not mean storage tanks of
			 petroleum liquids which are subject to
			 401 KAR
			 59:050, 401 KAR 59:052, or
			 401 KAR
			 61:050.
(13) "Classification date" means June 29,
			 1979.
(14) "VOCs net input" means
			 the total amount of VOCs input to the affected facility minus the amount of
			 VOCs that are not emitted into the atmosphere. VOCs that are prevented from
			 being emitted to the atmosphere by the use of control devices shall not be
			 subtracted from the total for the purposes of determining VOCs net input. If
			 the nature of any operation or design of equipment permits more than one (1)
			 interpretation of this definition, the interpretation that results in the
			 minimum value for allowable emission shall apply.
