Compliance Using Compliant
				  Coatings
A. Compliance with the
				  emissions limitations in §§
											35.7 and
				  35.8 of this Part through
				  the use of compliant coatings shall be demonstrated by the following methods:
1. Maintaining Certified Product Data Sheets
				  (CPDS) documenting that the VOC and/or VHAP content of each topcoat, filler,
				  stain, toner, ink, multicolored coating, pigmented coating, sealer, washcoat,
				  enamel, basecoat, thinner, adhesive and strippable booth coating meets the
				  applicable emissions limitations in §§
												35.7 and
				  35.8 of this Part;
				  and
2. Maintaining formulation data
				  and related calculations showing that the VOC and VHAP content of each topcoat,
				  filler, stain, toner, ink, multicolored coating, sealer, washcoat, enamel,
				  basecoat, adhesive and strippable booth coating diluted onsite, as applied,
				  meets the applicable emissions limitations in §§
												35.7 and
				  35.8 of this Part;
				  and
3. For facilities with
				  continuous coaters, using one of the following procedures:
a. Calculating the VOC and VHAP content, as
				  applicable, of the finishing material in the reservoir from information on the
				  CPDS and records of materials added to the reservoir; or
b. Monitoring the viscosity of the finishing
				  material in the reservoir with a viscosity meter or testing the viscosity of
				  the initial finishing material and retesting the material in the reservoir each
				  time solvent is added. If this option is chosen, the facility shall maintain
				  data that demonstrates the correlation between the viscosity of the finishing
				  material and the VOC and VHAP content, as applicable, of the finishing
				  material; and
4. The
				  Department or EPA will determine compliance either by reviewing the records
				  specified in §§35.10.1(A)(1) through (3) of this Part or by
				  conducting a performance test according to the specifications in §§
				  35.12.1 and 35.12.2 of this Part. If the VOC or VHAP content of a coating
				  determined by a performance test using the procedures specified in §§
				  35.12.1 and 35.12.2 of this Part is greater than that indicated on a CPDS or by
				  the facility's formulation or viscosity data, the performance test results
				  shall govern.

				  calculations documenting how the as-applied values were determined. The VOC
				  content of strippable booth coatings shall be expressed in units of lb VOC/lb
				  solids, as applied.

				  place, the costs of additional measures, the emission reductions expected to be
				  achieved, and any other environmental or energy impacts associated with such
				  measures;
4. Dates that the
				  programs and measures specified in §§
											39.7(A)(1) through
				  (3) of this Part, will be

				  medical/ infectious waste to the HMIWI for incineration has adopted and is
				  complying with a Waste Management Plan consistent with that adopted by the
				  HMIWI;

				  Management Plan must be in compliance with the RI DEM Office of Waste
				  Management's Medical Waste Regulations, Part 140-15-1 of this Title, and other
