Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The following words and terms, when used in this
							 subchapter, have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates
							 otherwise:
ACP-Alternative Control Plan
-An
							 emissions averaging program approved by the Department under this
							 subchapter.
ACP agreement
-The document signed by
							 the Department which includes the conditions and requirements of the ACP, and
							 which allows manufacturers to sell ACP products in this Commonwealth under the
							 requirements of this subchapter.
ACP emissions
-The sum of the VOC
							 emissions from every ACP product subject to an ACP agreement, during the
							 compliance period specified in the ACP agreement, expressed to the nearest
							 pound of VOC and calculated according to the following equation:
ACP Emissions =
							 (Emissions)1 + (Emissions)2 + . .
							 . + (Emissions)N
where,
(i)
(VOC content) × (Enforceable
										sales)
Emissions
=
__________________
100
(ii) 1,2, . . . N = each product in an ACP up
						  to the maximum N.
ACP limit
-The maximum allowable ACP
							 emissions during the compliance period specified in an ACP agreement, expressed
							 to the nearest pound of VOC and calculated according to the following
							 equation:
ACP limit = (Limit)1 +
							 (Limit)2 + . . . +
							 (Limit)N
where,
(ACP standard) x (Enforceable sales)
(i)
(ACP standard) × (Enforceable
										sales)
Limit
=

100
(ii) 1,2, . . . N = each product in an ACP up
						  to the maximum N.
ACP product
-A consumer product
							 subject to the VOC standards specified in §
													130.211 (relating to table of
							 standards), except those products that have been exempted under §§
													130.331-130.338 (relating to exemptions),
							 or exempted as innovative products under §§
													130.351 and
							 130.352 (relating to innovative
							 products).
ACP reformulation
or
ACP
							 reformulated
-The process of reducing the VOC content of an ACP
							 product, within the period that an ACP is in effect, to a level which is less
							 than the current VOC content of the product.
ACP standard
-The Pre-ACP VOC content
							 of an ACP product or the applicable VOC standard specified in §
													130.211, whichever is less.
ACP VOC standard
-The maximum
							 allowable VOC content for an ACP product, determined as follows:
(i) The applicable VOC standard specified in
						  §
													130.211 for all ACP products
						  except charcoal lighter material products.
(ii) For charcoal lighter material products
						  only, the VOC standard for the purposes of this subchapter shall be calculated
						  according to the following equation:
(0.020 pound CH2 per start ×
										100)
VOC standard
=
__________________
Certified use rate
where,
0.020 = the certification emissions level for the
							 Department-approved product, as specified in §
														130.214.
ASTM
-ASTM International, formerly
							 the American Society for Testing and Materials.
Adhesive

						  substrate.
Adhesive remover
-
(i) A product designed to remove adhesive
						  from either a specific substrate or a variety of substrates.
(ii) The term does not include products that
						  remove adhesives intended exclusively for use on humans or animals.
