Current through all regulations passed and filed
			 through July 1, 2024
[Comment: For dates and availability of non-regulatory
				government publications, publications of recognized organizations and
				associations, federal rules, and federal statutory provisions referenced in
				this rule, see paragraph (AA) of this rule titled "referenced
				materials."]
Except as otherwise provided in this
				rule, the definitions in rules
				3745-15-01 and
				3745-21-01 of the Administrative
				Code apply to this chapter.
(A)
(1) "Acid rain program"
			 means the program contained within Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
(2)
			 "Actual emissions" means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated NSR
			 pollutant from an emissions unit, as determined under this paragraph, except
			 that this definition shall not apply for calculating whether a significant
			 emissions increase, as defined in this rule, has occurred, or for establishing
			 a PAL under rule
			 3745-31-33 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(a) Actual emissions as
			 of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which
			 the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive
			 twenty-four-month period which precedes the particular date and which is
			 representative of normal emissions unit operation. The director shall allow the
			 use of a different time period upon a determination that
			 
										the time
			 period is more representative of normal emissions unit operation. Actual
			 emissions shall be calculated using the emissions unit's actual operating
			 hours, production rates and types of materials processed, stored or combusted
			 during the selected time period.
(b) The director may
			 presume that emissions unit-specific allowable emissions for the emissions unit
			 are equivalent to the actual emissions of the emissions unit.
(c)
			 For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular
			 date, actual emissions  equal the
			 potential to emit of the emissions unit on that date.
(3)
			 "Actuals PAL" for a major stationary source means a PAL based on the baseline
			 actual emissions of all emissions units at the source that emit or have the
			 potential to emit the PAL pollutant.
(4) "Adhesive" means
			 any substance that is used to bond one surface to another surface.
(5)
			 "Administrative modification" means a change to a permit to install or a PTIO
			 that does not meet the definition of a modification under this rule.
(6)
			 "Affected sources" 
									has the meaning given to it in the regulations
			 promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
(7) "Air contaminant"
			 means particulate matter, dust, fumes, gas, mist, radionuclides, smoke, vapor
			 or odorous substances, or any combination thereof.
(8) "Air contaminant
			 source," for the purpose of this chapter, means each separate operation, or
			 activity that results or may result in the emission of any of the following air
			 contaminants:
(a) An air contaminant
			 or precursor of an air contaminant for which a national ambient air quality
			 standard has been adopted under the Clean Air Act.
(b) An air contaminant
			 for which the source is regulated under the Clean Air Act.
(c) A
			 toxic air contaminant as listed in rule
			 3745-114-01 of the
			 Administrative Code.
(9) "Air contaminant
			 source project" means the installation or modification of one or more air
			 contaminant sources (and any structures associated with such installations or
			 modifications), all of which results from a discrete production goal or
			 objective.
(10) "Allowable
			 emissions" means the emission rate of an air contaminant source calculated
			 using the maximum rated capacity of the air contaminant source (unless the air
			 contaminant source is subject to limits that are federally enforceable or
			 legally and practically enforceable by the state that restrict the operating
			 rate or hours of operation, or both), and the most stringent of the following:
(a)
			 The applicable standards as set forth in
			 40 CFR Parts
			 60,
			 61 and
			 63.
(b) The applicable Ohio
			 state implementation plan emission limitation, including those with a future
			 compliance date.
(c) The emission rate
			 by a permit condition that is federally enforceable or legally and practically
			 enforceable by the state, including those with a future compliance
			 date.
(11) "Applicable laws"
			 means any applicable provisions of Chapters 3704. and 3745. of the Revised
			 Code; rules, regulations, and orders of the Ohio environmental protection
			 agency, the Clean Air Act; and rules and regulations of the administrator of
			 the United States environmental protection agency (including any Ohio rule,
			 law, or provision of the Ohio state implementation plan that has been approved
			 or promulgated by the United States environmental protection
			 agency.).
(12) "Auto body
			 refinishing facility" means a facility engaged primarily in collision repair
			 and refinishing of automobiles and trucks. Automobile paint-only and
			 customizing facilities, which are engaged in repainting used motor vehicles and
			 trucks, but do not perform collision repair work, are also included in this
			 definition. Mobile auto body painting operations, which employ temporary spray
			 booths meeting the design criteria specified by paragraph (A)(4)(g) of rule
			 3745-31-03 of the Administrative
			 Code, are also included in this definition.
(13) "Available
			 information" means, for purposes of identifying control technology options for
			 a major MACT source, information contained in the following information sources
			 as of the date of the MACT determination by the director:
(a) A relevant proposed
			 regulation, including all supporting documentation.
(b) Background
			 information documents for a draft or proposed regulation.
(c)
			 Data and information available from the "Control Technology Center" developed
			 pursuant to Section 113 of the Clean Air Act.
(d) Data and
			 information contained in the "Aerometric Informational Retrieval System"
			 including information in the MACT database.
(e) Any additional
			 information that can be expeditiously provided by the administrator.
(f)
			 Any additional information provided by the applicant or others, and any
			 additional information considered available by the director.
