RELATES TO:
				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 insulation of magnet wire 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 insulation of magnet
			 wire.
(2) "Applicator" means the
			 mechanism or device used to apply the coating, including but not limited to a
			 coating bath.
(3) "Coating die"
			 means the device, located between the applicator and the drying oven, which
			 scrapes off excess coating and leaves a thin film of desired
			 thickness.
(4) "Magnet wire" means
			 wire used in equipment such as electrical motors, generators, and transformers
			 which carries an electrical current.
(5) "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 coating die
			 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.
(6) "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.
(7) "Classification date" means June 29,
			 1979.
(8) "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 is such as to permit more
			 than one (1) interpretation of this definition, the interpretation that results
			 in the minimum value for allowable emission shall apply.
