Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
A.
				Calculation of VOC content. For the purpose of determining compliance with
				section 4(C), the VOC content of a coating shall be determined by using the
				procedures described in sections 6(A)(1) and 6(A)(2), as appropriate. The VOC

Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
A. Testing to
				determine compliance with the requirements of this Chapter shall be performed
				by one of the following:
(1) Using CARB
				Method 310, ''
Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in
				Consumer Products and Reactive Organic Compounds in Aerosol Coating
				Products,
'' adopted September 25, 1997, and as last amended on May 5,
				2005, incorporated by reference herein.
(2) Alternative methods which are shown to
				accurately determine the concentration of VOCs in a subject product or its
				emissions may be used upon approval of the Department and EPA.
(3) Calculation of the VOC content from
				records of the amounts of constituents used to make the product under the
				following criteria:
(a) Compliance
				determinations based on these records may not be used unless the manufacturer
				of a consumer product keeps accurate records for each day of production of the
				amount and chemical composition of the individual product constituents. These
				records must be kept for at least three years and made available to the
				Department and EPA on request.
NOTE: Manufacturers who submit information to the Department
				  under this Chapter should mark those documents as "claimed confidential" if
				  they believe the documents should be exempt from disclosure under Maine's
				  Freedom of Access Law, 1 M.R.S.A. §401 et seq. Such documents will be
				  handled in accordance with Departmental policies governing records that may
				  contain confidential information, SOP Number OC PE 0006, and applicable
				  law.
(b) For the purposes
				of this section, the VOC content (expressed as a percentage) shall be
				calculated according to the following equation:
VOC Content = (B-C) x 100/A
where,
A = total net weight of unit (excluding container and
				  packaging)
B = total weight of all VOCs, as defined in Chapter 100 of
				  the Department's regulations, per unit
C = total weight of VOCs exempted under Section 4, per
				  unit
(c) If product records
				appear to demonstrate compliance with the VOC limits, but these records are
				contradicted by product testing performed using CARB Method 310, incorporated
				by reference in Section 9(A)(1) of this regulation, the results of CARB Method
				310shall take precedence over the product records and may be used to establish
				a violation of the requirements of this regulation.

				Applicability
(1) This regulation applies

				organization as are Maine's; and
(b) the combined CO2
				emissions budgets from such states total at least 35,000,000 tons per year.
The Department may initiate air emissions licensing of
				  CO2 budget sources and participate in auctions for the
				  sale of CO2 allowances prior to commencement of the
				  CO2 Budget Trading Program.
(3) This regulation applies to any
				CO2budget unit except as provided for in subsection
				1(A)(4) below.
(4) Limited
				Exemption. A unit that supplies less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of its

				transmission and distribution utility on an annual basis shall be exempt from
				the requirements of this regulation, with the exception of the following
				sections:
(a) Section 1(B) -
