Sec. 60.451  Definitions.

    (a) All terms used in this subpart not defined below are given the 
meaning in the Act or in subpart A of this part.
    Applied coating solids means the coating solids that adhere to the 
surface of the large appliance part being coated.
    Coating application station means that portion of the large 
appliance surface coating operation where a prime coat or a top coat is 
applied to large appliance parts or products (e.g., dip tank, spray 
booth, or flow coating unit).
    Curing oven means a device that uses heat to dry or cure the 
coating(s) applied to large appliance parts or products.
    Electrodeposition (EDP) means a method of coating application in 
which the large appliance part or product is submerged in a tank filled 
with coating material suspended in water and an electrical potential is 
used to enhance deposition of the material on the part or product.
    Flashoff area means the portion of a surface coating line between 
the coating application station and the curing oven.
    Large appliance part means any organic surface-coated metal lid, 
door, casing, panel, or other interior or exterior metal part or 
accessory that is assembled to form a large appliance product. Parts 
subject to in-use temperatures in excess of 250 [deg]F are not included 
in this definition.
    Large appliance product means any organic surface-coated metal 
range, oven, microwave oven, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, 
dishwasher, water heater, or trash compactor manufactured for household, 
commercial, or recreational use.
    Large appliance surface coating line means that portion of a large 
appliance

assembly plant engaged in the application and curing of organic surface 
coatings on large appliance parts or products.
    Organic coating means any coating used in a surface coating 
operation, including dilution solvents, from which VOC emissions occur 
during the application or the curing process. For the purpose of this 
regulation, powder coatings are not included in this definition.
    Powder coating means any surface coating that is applied as a dry 
powder and is fused into a continuous coating film through the use of 
heat.
    Spray booth means the structure housing automatic or manual spray 
application equipment where a coating is applied to large appliance 
parts or products.
    Surface coating operation means the system on a large appliance 
surface coating line used to apply and dry or cure an organic coating on 
the surface of large appliance parts or products. The surface coating 
operation may be a prime coat or a topcoat operation and includes the 
coating application station(s), flashoff area, and curing oven.
    Transfer efficiency means the ratio of the amount of coating solids 
deposited onto the surface of a large appliance part or product to the 
total amount of coating solids used.
    VOC content means the proportion of a coating that is volatile 
organic compounds (VOC's), expressed as kilograms of VOC's per liter of 
coating solids.
    VOC emissions means the mass of volatile organic compounds (VOC's), 
expressed as kilograms of VOC's per liter of applied coating solids, 
emitted from a surface coating operation.
    (b) All symbols used in this subpart not defined below are given the 
meaning in the Act or subpart A of this part.

          control device and entering the atmosphere (parts per million
