National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Final 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions From Wood Furniture 
Manufacturing Operations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule and test method.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule promulgates standards that limit the emissions 
of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from existing and new wood furniture 
manufacturing operations located at major sources. These final 
standards implement Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as 
amended, which require the Administrator to regulate emissions of HAP 
listed in Section 112(b) of the CAA. The intent of the standards is to 
protect the public by requiring new and existing major sources to 
control emissions to the level attainable by implementing the maximum 
achievable control technology (MACT), taking into consideration the 
cost of achieving such emission reductions, any nonair quality and 
other air quality-related health and environmental impacts, and energy 
requirements.
    Many wood furniture manufacturing facilities are major sources of 
HAP emissions. Individual facilities can emit more than 23 megagrams 
per year (Mg/yr) (25 tons per year [tons/yr]) of organic HAP, including 
toluene, xylene, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, 
glycol ethers, and formaldehyde. All of these pollutants can cause 
reversible or irreversible toxic effects following exposure. The 
potential toxic effects include eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation 
and blood cell, heart, liver, and kidney damage, as well as 
reproductive effects. These adverse health effects are associated with 
a wide range of ambient concentrations and exposure times and are 
influenced by source-specific characteristics such as emission rates 
and local meteorological conditions. Health impacts are also dependent 
on multiple factors that affect human variability such as genetics, 
age, health status, (e.g., the presence of pre-existing disease), and 
lifestyle.
    The EPA is also finalizing Method 311 with the standards. Method 
311 will be used to assist in demonstrating compliance with the 
emission limitations.

DATES: This regulation is effective December 7, 1995.
    Judicial Review. Under Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, judicial 
review of national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants 
(NESHAP) is available only by filing a petition for review in the U.S. 
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 60 days of 
today's publication of this final rule. Under Section 307(b)(2) of the 
CAA, the requirements that are the subject of today's notice may not be 
challenged later in civil or criminal proceedings brought by the EPA to 
enforce these requirements.

I. The Standards

    The affected source for the promulgated standards is each facility 
that is engaged, either in part or in whole, in the manufacture of wood 
furniture or wood furniture components and that is located at a plant 
site that is a major source. The promulgated standards include emission 
limits on the finishing materials and contact adhesives used by the 
wood furniture industry and work practice standards to reduce emissions 
from all sources of HAP emissions. To allow owners and operators 
flexibility in meeting the emission limits, the promulgated standards 
include multiple options for complying with the limits. A summary of 
the emission limits and compliance options is presented in Table 1. A 
summary of the work practice standards is presented in Table 2.
    The promulgated standards include methods for affected sources to 
demonstrate both initial and continuous compliance with both the 
emission limits and work practice standards. The majority of affected 
sources will demonstrate compliance through recordkeeping. Affected 
sources that use a control device to meet the emission limits must 
monitor the performance of the control device.

[[Page 62932]]

--if the permitting agency determines that it is economically or        
  technically infeasible to use other application technologies.         


    Existing affected sources that emit less than 50 tons of HAP in 
1996 must comply with the promulgated standards by December 7, 1998. 
Existing affected sources that emit 50 tons or more of HAP in 1996 must 
comply with the promulgated standards by November 21, 1997. Existing 
area sources that become major sources are required to comply within 
one year after becoming a major source.
    New affected sources must comply with the promulgated standards by 
December 7, 1995 or upon startup, whichever is later. New area sources 
that become major sources are required to comply with the promulgated 
standards immediately upon becoming a major source.

II. Summary of Impacts

    These standards will reduce nationwide emissions of HAP from wood 
furniture manufacturing operations by approximately 29,759 Mg/yr 
(32,795 tons/yr). While the emission limits do not require the use of 
lower-VOC materials, the work practice standards should reduce the use 
of VOC containing materials and, therefore, VOC emissions. No 
significant adverse secondary air, water, solid waste, or energy 
impacts are anticipated from the promulgation of these standards.
    The implementation of this regulation is expected to result in 
nationwide annualized costs for existing wood furniture manufacturing 
operations of $15.3 million with a cost effectiveness of $513/Mg ($466/
ton). Industry-wide capital costs resulting from the promulgated 
standards is expected to be approximately $7.0 million.

III. Significant Changes to the Proposed Standards

A. Public Participation

    The standards were proposed in the Federal Register on December 6, 
1994 (59 FR 62652). The preamble to the proposed standards discussed 
the availability of the regulatory text. Public comments were solicited 
at the time of proposal, and copies of the regulatory text were 
distributed to interested parties. Electronic versions of the proposed 
preamble and regulation were made available to interested parties via 
the TTN (see ADDRESSES section of this preamble).
    The preamble to the proposed standards provided the public the 
opportunity to request a public hearing. However, a public hearing was 
not requested. The public comment period for the proposed standards was 
originally December 6, 1994 to February 21, 1995. Upon request from 
interested parties the comment period on the proposed standards was 
extended to March 21, 1995, and the comment period on Method 311 was 
extended to April 21, 1995. In all, 50 comment letters were received. 
The comments have been carefully considered, and changes have been made 
to the proposed standards when determined by the Administrator to be 
appropriate.

B. Comments on the Proposed Standards

    Comments on the proposed standards were received from 50 
commenters, composed mainly of States, trade organizations, coating 
manufacturers, and wood furniture manufacturers. A detailed discussion 
of these comments and responses can be found in the promulgation BID, 
which is referred to in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. The 
summary of comments and responses in the BID serve as the basis for the 
revisions that have been made to the standards between proposal and 
promulgation. Most of the comment letters contained multiple comments. 
The comments have been divided into the following areas:

1. Applicability;
2. Definitions;
3. Selection of MACT;
4. Emission limits;
5. Work practice requirements;
6. Reporting and recordkeeping requirements;
7. Monitoring requirements;
8. Format of the standard;
9. Compliance provisions and dates;
10. Test Methods; and
11. Miscellaneous.

C. Significant Changes

    Several changes have been made since the proposal of these 
standards. Some of the changes are substantive, while many changes were 
made to clarify portions of the rule that were unclear to the 
commenters. A summary of the major changes is presented below.
1. Addition of Category for Incidental Furniture Manufacturers
    The EPA received several comments from facilities that manufacture 
small quantities of furniture at their facility, primarily for onsite 
use. For example, a large laboratory facility may have a small shop 
onsite for manufacturing specialized pieces of laboratory furniture. 
Many army and navy bases have small woodworking shops onsite. The 
cutoff for finishing material usage included in the proposed standards 
did not exclude these sources from the standards, because they are 
major sources due to emissions from other operations. The majority of 
these commenters indicated that they were concerned about all of the 
work practice standards and the recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements associated with the proposed standards. They indicated 
that the environmental benefit of regulating their facilities under 
this subpart would be minimal.
    The promulgated standards include a category of manufacturers known 
as incidental furniture manufacturers. An incidental furniture 
manufacturer is defined in the promulgated standards as ``a major 
source that is primarily engaged in the manufacture of products other 
than wood furniture or wood furniture components and that uses no more 
than 100 gallons per month of finishing material or adhesives in the 
manufacture of wood furniture or wood furniture components.'' Because 
the promulgated standard regulates the amount of coating these 
facilities can use and still be considered incidental furniture 
manufacturers, emissions from wood furniture manufacturing operations 
at these facilities will be minimal. The EPA agrees with the commenters 
that the environmental benefit associated with regulating these 
facilities would be minimal. Therefore, in the promulgated standards, 
these facilities are exempted from the standard. However, these 
facilities will have to maintain records of coating and adhesive usage 
to demonstrate they are incidental wood furniture manufacturers.
2. Additional Mechanism for Exempting Smaller Sources From the 
Standards
    The proposed standards established applicability cutoffs based on 
total material usage. Sources using no more than 250 gallons per month, 
or 3,000 gallons per rolling 12-month period, of finishing materials, 
adhesives, cleaning solvents, and washoff solvents, including materials 
used for operations other than wood furniture manufacturing, were 
automatically exempted from the regulation as long as 

[[Page 62933]]
they maintained records demonstrating they were below the cutoffs.
    In the final rule, these provisions are modified to ensure that 
they can serve the purpose of exempting a facility from the standard by 
limiting its potential to emit HAP to area source levels. A facility 
that otherwise would be a major source can, at the option of the owner 
or operator, become an area source exempt from other provisions of the 
rule by meeting the usage limits and associated criteria. The usage 
limits ensure that the facility's potential and actual emissions of HAP 
are below the major source thresholds of 10 tons of a single HAP or 25 
tons of a combination of HAP. (The EPA expects that the usage limits 
will keep actual emissions from most facilities substantially below the 
major thresholds.)
    To qualify as an area source under these provisions, at least 90 
percent of annual HAP emissions from the plant site must come from 
finishing materials, adhesives, cleaning solvents, and washoff 
solvents. If the plant site has sources of HAP emissions other than 
these materials, the owner or operator must keep any records necessary 
to demonstrate that the facility meets the 90 percent criterion.
    A facility may exceed the users limits and still remain an area 
source exempt from the standard if, before exceeding the limit, the 
facility obtains other limits that keep its potential to emit HAP below 
the major threshold. Otherwise, a facility that exceeds the usage 
limits becomes a major source and thereafter must comply with the 
standard starting with the applicable compliance date in the rule. 
These provisions prevent facilities from vacillating between area-
source and major-source status while evading major source requirements. 
Also, these provisions make it possible from a legal standpoint to 
consider the usage cutoff levels as limiting a source's potential to 
emit HAP.
    The EPA also requested comment on other mechanisms that could be 
used to exempt smaller sources from the regulation. Unless such a 
mechanism is provided in the standards or by State and local permitting 
authorities, many of these smaller facilities will have to enter the 
Title V permitting process in order to obtain a Federally enforceable 
limitation on their potential to emit. This would impose a substantial 
burden on many smaller facilities and on the State and local permitting 
agencies.
    In response to the EPA request for comment, several commenters 
indicated that a reasonable mechanism to exempt these sources would be 
to establish an applicability cutoff based on total emissions of HAP 
materials, instead of material usage in gallons. The EPA has included 
such a mechanism in the promulgated standards, again structured as an 
optional way for facilities to limit their potential to emit. 
Facilities that otherwise would be major sources are considered area 
sources if they meet the limits and criteria in the rule. To qualify, a 
facility must use materials containing no more than 4.5 Mg (5 tons) of 
any one HAP per rolling 12-month period or no more than 11.4 Mg (12.5 
tons) of any combination of HAP per rolling 12-month period, including 
materials from source categories other than wood furniture. Also, at 
least 90 percent of their plantwide emissions per rolling 12-month 
period need to be associated with the manufacture of wood furniture or 
wood furniture components. These sources need to maintain records that 
demonstrate that annual emissions do not exceed these levels, including 
monthly usage records for all finishing, gluing, cleaning, and washoff 
materials; certified product data sheets for these materials; and any 
other records necessary to document emissions from source categories 
other than wood furniture.
3. Inclusion of Custom Cabinet Manufacturers Operating Under Standard 
Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 5712
    Under the proposed standards, sources under any of nine SIC codes 
were considered wood furniture manufacturers. The SIC codes included 
2434, which includes manufacturers of kitchen cabinets. However, one 
commenter pointed out that manufacturers of custom kitchen cabinets are 
included in SIC Code 5712. The commenter felt that the operations at 
these sources were not significantly different than those operating 
under SIC Code 2434 and that these sources should also be subject to 
the standards. The EPA agrees with the commenter, and the promulgated 
standards include custom kitchen cabinet manufacturers operating under 
SIC Code 5712.
4. Inclusion of Definitions for Wood Furniture and Wood Furniture 
Component
    Two commenters requested that the EPA include definitions for 
``wood furniture'' and ``wood furniture component'' in the rule. The 
EPA agrees that these definitions will help clarify which sources are 
subject to the rule and has included these definitions in the final 
rule.
5. Change in Title of the Formulation Assessment Plan
    Because the formulation assessment plan only applies to VHAP of 
potential concern that are present in finishing materials, one 
commenter suggested that the title be changed to formulation assessment 
plan for finishing operations. The EPA agrees that this clarifies the 
scope of the formulation assessment plan and in the final rule the 
title is changed to Formulation Assessment plan for Finishing 
Operations.
6. Timeframe for Submitting Initial Notification
    Several commenters requested that the date for submission of the 
initial notification be extended. One commenter requested that the date 
for submittal of the initial notification be extended to 270 days and 
two commenters requested that the date be extended to 180 days. The EPA 
agrees with the commenters and has extended the date for submittal of 
the initial notification to 270 days after the effective date of the 
final rule.
7. Compliance Options
    The proposed rule allowed facilities to use one of four methods to 
demonstrate compliance with the standard: compliant coatings, 
averaging, an add-on control device, or a combination of compliant 
coatings and an add-on control device. The proposed rule did not allow 
facilities to use a combination of an add-on control device and 
averaging. One commenter pointed out that this should also be a 
compliance option. In some facilities, emissions from only one or two 
finishing lines will be directed to the control device. The emission 
reductions from these lines will typically be much greater than the 
reductions required for a facility using compliant coatings. These 
facilities would like to be allowed to average these ``overcontrolled'' 
finishing lines with uncontrolled lines. The EPA believes this is 
consistent with the regulatory negotiation agreement and with the CAA, 
both of which state that a facility should be able to use any 
compliance method that they can demonstrate achieves an equivalent 
level of reductions. Therefore, the EPA has included this compliance 
option in the final rule.
8. Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency
    Since the wood furniture NESHAP was proposed, the EPA has released 
additional guidance on determining capture efficiency. This guidance 
allows facilities to use any method of 

[[Page 62934]]
determining the capture efficiency of a control system as long as the 
data generated from the method meets one of two sets of criteria. These 
criteria are known as the data quality objective (DQO) approach and the 
lower confidence limit (LCL) approach. As one commenter requested, this 
new guidance has been included in the final rule.
9. Clarification of Compliance Dates
    Under the proposed rule, the compliance date for sources emitting 
less than 50 tons of HAP per year is three years after the effective 
date of the rule. For sources emitting more than 50 tons of HAP per 
year, the compliance date is November 21, 1997. As one commenter 
pointed out, however, the proposed rule did not include guidance as to 
which year's emissions should be used to determine the compliance date 
for a facility. In the final rule, 1996 is identified as the baseline 
year for determining a facility's compliance date. If a facility's 
emissions in 1996 are less than 50 tons of HAP then the compliance date 
for that facility is December 7, 1998. If the facility's emissions are 
50 tons of HAP or more in 1996 then the compliance date for the 
facility is November 21, 1997.
10. Clarification of Definitions and Emission Limits for Adhesives
    Several commenters requested clarification of some of the 
definitions related to adhesives and also clarification as to which 
adhesives are subject to the emission limits. One commenter indicated 
they did not believe adhesives should be considered coatings. The EPA 
agrees and has changed the definition of coating so that it no longer 
includes adhesives. The definition of adhesive was also changed to 
clarify that adhesives should not be considered coatings or finishing 
materials under this subpart.
    Several commenters also indicated that the rule should more 
accurately reflect that contact adhesives are the only types of 
adhesives that are subject to an emission limit under this subpart. 
Several changes have been made in the definitions, Sec. 63.801, and in 
the summary of emission limits, Sec. 63.802, that should clarify this 
issue.

D. Other Issues

    During the EPA work group review of the final rule, two of the EPA 
offices represented on the work group indicated they had issues that 
they believed needed to be addressed in the preamble. Both EPA offices 
recognized that this rule was developed under a regulatory negotiation 
approach, and they both indicated that they did not want these issues 
to impact negatively on the consensus achieved during the regulatory 
negotiation. These issues are addressed in the following paragraphs.
    The EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) expressed concern 
about the differential use of toxicity information in the regulation. 
In particular, the ORD was concerned about the prohibition of Class A 
and B1/B2 carcinogens in cleaning and washoff solvents. The 
ORD was concerned that this prohibition implies that these pollutants 
are ``worse'' than other HAP, which may cause serious chronic health 
effects and/or life-threatening acute effects. Concern was also 
expressed that the regulation draws a line between pollutants with 
``B'' and ``C'' designations, when the scientific evidence may not 
support such a clear distinction. Because this regulation was developed 
through a negotiation process, ORD agreed to include this provision in 
the final regulation. However, it is important to emphasize that the 
decision to include such a provision in this specific rulemaking does 
not represent a generic policy decision on the use of weight-of-
evidence designations.
    The second issue, which was raised by the Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), was also addressed in the preamble to the 
proposed rule. The preamble to the proposed rule stressed that urea-
formaldehyde resins, which are used extensively in gluing operations in 
the wood furniture and are a source of formaldehyde emissions, are not 
subject to an emission limit under this regulation. During the 
development of the regulation, the EPA, working closely with urea-
formaldehyde resin manufacturers and the wood furniture industry, 
decided that it would be more appropriate to regulate emissions from 
these adhesives under the NESHAP for plywood and particleboard 
manufacturing. The OPPT has agreed with this approach, but they 
indicated that the preamble to the final rule should reiterate the EPA 
intention to regulate these adhesives under a future rulemaking. 
Therefore, while the EPA is not regulating emissions from urea-
formaldehyde resins at wood furniture manufacturing facilities under 
this rulemaking, emissions from these resins will be regulated under 
the NESHAP for plywood and particleboard manufacturing.

IV. Administrative Requirements

A. Docket

    The docket is an organized and complete file of all the information 
considered by the EPA in the development of this rule. The docket is a 
dynamic file; material is added throughout the rulemaking process. The 
docketing system is intended to allow members of the public to readily 
identify and locate documents so that they can effectively participate 
in the rulemaking process. Along with the statement of the basis and 
purpose of the proposed and promulgated standards and the EPA responses 
to significant comments, the contents of the docket will serve as the 
record in case of judicial review [Section 307(d)(7)(A)].

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the 
information collection requirements contained in this rule under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and 
has assigned OMB control number 2060-0324.
    The information required to be collected by this rule is necessary 
to identify the regulated entities who are subject to the rule and to 
ensure their compliance with the rule. The recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements are mandatory and are being established under authority of 
Section 114 of the CAA. All information submitted to the EPA for which 
a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the 
EPA policies set forth in Title 40, Part 2, subpart B--Confidentiality 
of Business Information.
    The total annual reporting and recordkeeping burden for this 
collection averaged over the first three years is estimated to be 
140,603 hours per year. The average burden, per respondent, is 187 
hours per year. The rule requires an initial one-time notification from 
each respondent and subsequent reports/notification would have to be 
submitted semiannually. There would be an estimated 750 respondents to 
the collection requirements. This estimate includes the time needed to 
review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology 
and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any 
previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to 
be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; 
complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or 
otherwise disclose the information.
    Send comments on the EPA need for this information, the accuracy of 
the 

[[Page 62935]]
provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing 
respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques to the Director, OPPE Regulatory Information Division; U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (2136); 401 M St. SW.; Washington, DC 
20460; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office 
of Management and Budget, 725 17th St. NW; Washington, DC 20503; marked 
``Attention: Desk Officer for EPA.'' Include the OMB control number in 
any correspondence.

C. Administrative Designation and Regulatory Analysis

    Under Executive Order 12866 [58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)], the 
EPA is required to judge whether a regulation is ``significant'' and 
therefore subject to OMB review and the requirements of this Executive 
Order to prepare a regulatory impact analysis (RIA). The Order defines 
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in a 
rule that may: (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million 
or more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of 
the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or State, local, or Tribal governments or 
communities; (2) create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere 
with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) materially alter 
the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 
programs, or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) 
raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the 
President's priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive 
Order.
    Pursuant to the terms of the Executive Order 12866, OMB has 
notified the EPA that it considers this a ``significant regulatory 
action'' within the meaning of the Executive Order. The EPA has 
submitted this action to OMB for review. Changes made in response to 
OMB suggestions or recommendations will be documented in the public 
record.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires the 
EPA to consider potential impacts of proposed regulations on small 
business ``entities.'' If a preliminary analysis indicates that a 
proposed regulation would have a significant economic impact on 20 
percent or more of small entities, then a regulatory flexibility 
analysis must be performed. The EPA analysis of these impacts was 
presented in the preamble to the proposed rule (59 FR 62652), and a 
copy of the Economic Impact Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is included 
in the docket. The final rule includes no changes that will be 
deleterious to small businesses.

E. Unfunded Mandates Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the 
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and Tribal 
governments and the private sector. Under Section 202 of the UMRA, the 
EPA generally must prepare a written statement including a cost-benefit 
analysis for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that 
may result in expenditures to State, local, and Tribal governments, in 
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any 
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement 
is required, Section 205 of the UMRA generally requires the EPA to 
identify and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives 
and adopt the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome 
alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of 
Section 205 do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable 
law. Moreover, Section 205 allows the EPA to adopt an alternative other 
than the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome 
alternative if the Administrator publishes with the final rule an 
explanation why that alternative was not adopted. Before the EPA 
establishes any regulatory requirements that may significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments, including Tribal governments, it 
must have developed under Section 203 of the UMRA a small government 
agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying potentially affected 
small governments, enabling officials of affected small governments to 
have meaningful and timely input in the development of EPA regulatory 
proposals with significant Federal intergovernmental mandates and 
informing, educating, and advising small governments on compliance with 
the regulatory requirements.
    The EPA has determined that the action promulgated today does not 
include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 
million or more to either State, local, or Tribal governments in the 
aggregate, or to the private sector. Therefore, the requirements of the 
Unfunded Mandates Act do not apply to this action.

Subpart JJ--National Emission Standards for Wood Furniture 
Manufacturing Operations


Sec. 63.800  Applicability.

    (a) The affected source to which this subpart applies is each 
facility that is engaged, either in part or in whole, in the 
manufacture of wood furniture or wood furniture components and that is 
located at a plant site that is a major source as defined in 40 CFR 
part 63.2. The owner or operator of a source that meets the criteria 
for an incidental furniture manufacturer shall maintain purchase or 
usage records demonstrating the source meets the criteria specified in 
Sec. 63.801 of this subpart, but the source shall not be subject to any 
other provisions of this subpart.
    (b) A source that complies with the limits and criteria specified 
in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3) of this section is an area 
source for the purposes of this subpart and is not subject to any other 
provision of this rule, provided that: In the case of parargraphs 
(b)(1) and (b)(2), finishing materials, adhesives, cleaning solvents 
and washoff solvents account for at least 90 percent of annual HAP 
emissions at the plant site, and if the plant site has HAP emissions 
that do not originate from the listed materials, the owner or operator 
keeps any records necessary to demonstrate that the 90 percent 
criterion is met. A source that initially relies on the limits and 
criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) to become 
an area source, but subsequently exceeds the relevant limit (without 
first obtaining and complying with other limits that keep its potential 
to emit hazardous air pollutants below major source levels), becomes a 
major source and must comply thereafter with all applicable provisions 
of this subpart starting on the applicable compliance date in 
Sec. 63.800. Nothing in this paragraph (b) is intended to preclude a 
source from limiting its potential to emit through other appropriate 
mechanisms that may be available through the permitting authority.

    (1) The owner or operator of the source uses no more than 250 
gallons per month, for every month, of coating, gluing, cleaning, and 
washoff materials at the source, including materials used for source 
categories other than wood furniture (surface coating), but excluding 
materials used in routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance, 
personal uses by employees or other persons, the use of products for 
the purpose of maintaining motor vehicles operated by the facility, or 
the use of toxic chemicals contained in intake water (used for 
processing or noncontact cooling) or intake air (used either as 
compressed air or for combustion). The owner or operator shall maintain 
records of the total gallons of coating, gluing, cleaning, and washoff 
materials used each month, and upon request submit such records to the 
Administrator. These records shall be maintained for five years.

    (2) The owner or operator of the source uses no more than 3,000 
gallons per rolling 12-month period, for every 12-month period, of 
coating, gluing, cleaning, and washoff materials at the source, 
including materials used for source categories other than wood 
furniture (surface coating), but excluding materials used in routine 
janitorial or facility grounds maintenance, personal uses by employees 
or other persons, the use of products for the purpose of maintaining 
motor vehicles operated by the facility, or the use of toxic chemicals 
contained in intake water (used for processing or noncontact cooling) 
or intake air (used either as compressed air or for combustion). A 
rolling 12-month period includes the previous 12 months of operation. 
The owner or operator of the source shall maintain records of the total 
gallons of coating, gluing, cleaning, and washoff materials used each 
month and the total gallons used each previous month, and upon request 
submit such records to the Administrator. Because records are needed 
over the previous set of 12 months, the owner or operator shall keep 
monthly records beginning no less than one year before the compliance 
date specified in Sec. 63.800(e). Records shall be maintained for five 
years.

    (3) The source uses materials containing no more than 4.5 Mg (5 
tons) of any one HAP per rolling 12-month period or no more than 11.4 
Mg (12.5 tons) of any combination of HAP per rolling 12-month period, 
including materials from source categories other than wood furniture; 
and at least 90 percent of the plantwide emissions per rolling 12-month 
period are associated with the manufacture of wood furniture or wood 
furniture components. The owner or operator shall maintain records that 
demonstrate that annual emissions do not exceed these levels, including 
monthly usage records for all finishing, gluing, cleaning, and washoff 
materials; certified product data sheets for these materials; and any 
other records necessary to document emissions from source categories 
other than wood furniture and upon request submit such records to the 
Administrator. These records shall be maintained for five years.

    (c) This subpart does not apply to research or laboratory 
facilities as defined in Sec. 63.801.

    (d) Owners or operators of affected sources shall also comply with 
the requirements of subpart A of this part (General Provisions), 
according to the applicability of subpart A to such sources, as 
identified in Table 1 of this subpart.

    (e) The compliance date for existing affected sources that emit 
less than 50 tons per year of HAP in 1996 is December 7, 1998. The 
compliance date for existing affected sources that emit 50 tons or more 
of hazardous air pollutants in 1996 is November 21, 1997. The owner or 
operator of an existing area source that increases its emissions of (or 
its potential to emit) HAP such that the source becomes a major source 
that is subject to this subpart shall comply with this subpart one year 
after becoming a major source.

    (f) New affected sources must comply with the provisions of this 
standard immediately upon startup or by December 7, 1995, whichever is 
later. New area sources that become major sources shall comply with the 
provisions of this standard immediately upon becoming a major source.
    (g) Reconstructed affected sources are subject to the requirements 
for new affected sources. The costs associated with the purchase and 
installation of air pollution control equipment (e.g., incinerators, 
carbon adsorbers, etc.) are not considered in determining whether the 
facility has been reconstructed, unless the control equipment is 
required as part of the process (e.g., product recovery). Additionally, 
the costs of retrofitting and replacement of equipment that is 
installed specifically to comply with this subpart are not considered 
reconstruction costs. For example, an affected source may convert to 
waterborne coatings to meet the requirements of this subpart. At most 
facilities, this conversion will require the replacement of existing 
storage tanks, mix equipment, and transfer lines. The cost of replacing 
the equipment is not considered in determining whether the facility has 
been reconstructed.

Sec. 63.801  Definitions.

    (a) All terms used in this subpart that are not defined below have 
the meaning given to them in the CAA and in subpart A (General 
Provisions) of this part.

    Adhesive means any chemical substance that is applied for the 
purpose 

[[Page 62937]]
of bonding two surfaces together other than by mechanical means. Under 
this subpart, adhesives shall not be considered coatings or finishing 
materials. Products used on humans and animals, adhesive tape, contact 
paper, or any other product with an adhesive incorporated onto or in an 
inert substrate shall not be considered adhesives under this subpart.
    Administrator means the Administrator of the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency or his or her authorized 
representative.
    Aerosol adhesive means an adhesive that is dispensed from a 
pressurized container as a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles 
in gas.
    Affected source means a wood furniture manufacturing facility that 
is engaged, either in part or in whole, in the manufacture of wood 
furniture or wood furniture components and that is located at a plant 
site that is a major source as defined in 40 CFR part 63.2, excluding 
sources that meet the criteria established in Sec. 63.800(a), (b) and 
(c) of this subpart.
    Alternative method means any method of sampling and analyzing for 
an air pollutant that is not a reference or equivalent method but has 
been demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction to, in specific 
cases, produce results adequate for a determination of compliance.
    As applied means the HAP and solids content of the coating or 
contact adhesive that is actually used for coating or gluing the 
substrate. It includes the contribution of materials used for in-house 
dilution of the coating or contact adhesive.
    Basecoat means a coat of colored material, usually opaque, that is 
applied before graining inks, glazing coats, or other opaque finishing 
materials, and is usually topcoated for protection.
    Baseline conditions means the conditions that exist prior to an 
affected source implementing controls, such as a control system.
    Building enclosure means a building housing a process that meets 
the requirements of a temporary total enclosure. The EPA Method 204E is 
used to identify all emission points from the building enclosure and to 
determine which emission points must be tested. For additional 
information see Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency, January 
1994. Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. IV-B-1.
    Capture device means a hood, enclosed room, floor sweep, or other 
means of collecting solvent emissions or other pollutants into a duct 
so that the pollutant can be directed to a pollution control device 
such as an incinerator or carbon adsorber.
    Capture efficiency means the fraction of all organic vapors 
generated by a process that are directed to a control device.
    Certified product data sheet (CPDS) means documentation furnished 
by coating or adhesive suppliers or an outside laboratory that provides 
the HAP content of a finishing material, contact adhesive, or solvent, 
by percent weight, measured using the EPA Method 311 (as promulgated in 
this subpart), or an equivalent or alternative method (or formulation 
data if the coating meets the criteria specified in Sec. 63.805(a)); 
the solids content of a finishing material or contact adhesive by 
percent weight, determined using data from the EPA Method 24, or an 
alternative or equivalent method (or formulation data if the coating 
meets the criteria specified in Sec. 63.805(a)); and the density, 
measured by EPA Method 24 or an alternative or equivalent method. 
Therefore, the reportable HAP content should represent the maximum 
aggregate emissions potential of the finishing material, adhesive, or 
solvent in concentrations greater than or equal to 1.0 percent by 
weight or 0.1 percent for HAP that are carcinogens, as defined by the 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication 
Standard (29 CFR part 1910), as formulated. The purpose of the CPDS is 
to assist the affected source in demonstrating compliance with the 
emission limitations presented in Sec. 63.802.

    (Note: Because the optimum analytical conditions under EPA 
Method 311 vary by coating, the coating or adhesive supplier may 
also choose to include on the CPDS the optimum analytical conditions 
for analysis of the coating, adhesive, or solvent using EPA Method 
311. Such information may include, but not be limited to, separation 
column, oven temperature, carrier gas, injection port temperature, 
extraction solvent, and internal standard.)

contact adhesive, or strippable booth coating that meets the emission 
limits specified in Table 3 of this subpart.
    Contact adhesive means an adhesive that is applied to two 
substrates, dried, and mated under only enough pressure to result in 
good contact. The bond is immediate and sufficiently strong to hold 
pieces together without further clamping, pressure, or airing.
    Continuous coater means a finishing system that continuously 
applies finishing materials onto furniture parts moving along a 
conveyor. Finishing materials that are not transferred to the part are 
recycled to a reservoir. Several types of application methods can be 
used with a continuous coater including spraying, curtain coating, roll 
coating, dip coating, and flow coating.
    Continuous compliance means that the affected source is meeting the 
emission limitations and other requirements of the rule at all times 
and is fulfilling all monitoring and recordkeeping provisions of the 
rule in order to demonstrate compliance.
    Control device means any equipment that reduces the quantity of a 
pollutant that is emitted to the air. The device may destroy or secure 
the pollutant for subsequent recovery. Includes, but is not limited to, 
incinerators, carbon adsorbers, and condensers.
    Control device efficiency means the ratio of the pollutant released 
by a control device and the pollutant introduced to the control device.
    Control system means the combination of capture and control devices 
used to reduce emissions to the atmosphere.

coating is atomized by mixing it with compressed air and applied at an 
air pressure greater than 10 pounds per square inch (gauge) at the 
point of atomization. Airless and air assisted airless spray 
technologies are not conventional air spray because the coating is not 
atomized by mixing it with compressed air. Electrostatic spray 
technology is also not considered conventional air spray because an 
electrostatic charge is employed to attract the coating to the 
workpiece.
    Data quality objective (DQO) approach means a set of approval 

[[Page 62938]]
    criteria that must be met so that data from an alternative test method 
can be used in determining the capture efficiency of a control system.

material is applied to a substrate and is subsequently air-dried, cured 
in an oven, or cured by radiation.
    Foam adhesive means a contact adhesive used for gluing foam to 
fabric, foam to foam, and fabric to wood.
    Gluing operation means those operations in which adhesives are used 
to join components, for example, to apply a laminate to a wood 
substrate or foam to fabric.
    Incidental wood furniture manufacturer means a major source that is 
primarily engaged in the manufacture of products other than wood 
furniture or wood furniture components and that uses no more than 100 
gallons per month of finishing material or adhesives in the manufacture 
of wood furniture or wood furniture components.
    Incinerator means, for the purposes of this industry, an enclosed 
combustion device that thermally oxidizes volatile organic compounds to 
CO and CO2. This term does not include devices that burn municipal 
or hazardous waste material.

structures that is not directly related to the manufacturing process, 
for example, cleaning of restroom facilities.
    Lower confidence limit (LCL) approach means a set of approval 
criteria that must be met so that data from an alternative test method 
can be used in determining the capture efficiency of a control system.

    Material safety data sheet (MSDS) means the documentation required 
for hazardous chemicals by the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR Part 1910) 
for a solvent, cleaning material, contact adhesive, coating, or other 
material that identifies select reportable hazardous ingredients of the 
material, safety and health considerations, and handling procedures.
    Noncompliant coating/contact adhesive means a finishing material, 
contact adhesive, or strippable booth coating that has a VHAP content 
(VOC content for the strippable booth coating) greater than the

    Operating parameter value means a minimum or maximum value 
established for a control device or process parameter that, if achieved 
by itself or in combination with one or more other operating parameter 
values, determines that an owner or operator has complied with an 
applicable emission limit.
    Organic solvent means a volatile organic liquid that is used for 
dissolving or dispersing constituents in a coating or contact adhesive, 
adjusting the viscosity of a coating or contact adhesive, or cleaning 
equipment. When used in a coating or contact adhesive, the organic 
solvent evaporates during drying and does not become a part of the 
dried film.
    Overall control efficiency means the efficiency of a control 
system, calculated as the product of the capture and control device 
efficiencies, expressed as a percentage.
    Permanent total enclosure means a permanently installed enclosure 
that completely surrounds a source of emissions such that all emissions

manufacture of products for commercial sale in commerce, except in a de 
minimis manner.
    Responsible official has the meaning given to it in 40 CFR part 70, 
State Operating Permit Programs (Title V permits).
    Sealer means a finishing material used to seal the pores of a wood 
substrate before additional coats of finishing material are applied. 
Special purpose finishing materials that are used in some finishing 
systems to optimize aesthetics are not sealers.
    Solvent means a liquid used in a coating or contact adhesive to 
dissolve or disperse constituents and/or to adjust viscosity. It 
evaporates during drying and does not become a part of the dried film.
    Stain means any color coat having a solids content by weight of no 
more than 8.0 percent that is applied in single or multiple coats 
directly to the substrate. It includes, but is not limited to, nongrain 
raising stains, equalizer stains, prestains, sap stains, body stains, 
no-wipe stains, penetrating stains, and toners.
    Storage containers means vessels or tanks, including mix equipment,

    Temporary total enclosure means an enclosure that meets the 
requirements of Sec. 63.805(e)(1) (i) through (iv) and is not 
permanent, but constructed only to measure the capture efficiency of 
pollutants emitted from a given source. Additionally, any exhaust point 
from the enclosure shall be at least four equivalent duct or hood 
diameters from each natural draft opening. For additional information, 
see Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency, January 1994. 
(Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. IV-B-1).
    Thinner means a volatile liquid that is used to dilute coatings or 
contact adhesives (to reduce viscosity, color strength, and solids, or 
to modify drying conditions).
    Topcoat means the last film-building finishing material that is 
applied in a finishing system.
    Touchup and repair means the application of finishing materials to 
cover minor finishing imperfections.
    VHAP means any volatile hazardous air pollutant listed in Table 2 
to Subpart JJ.
    VHAP of potential concern means any VHAP from the nonthreshold, 
high concern, or unrankable list in Table b of this subpart.
    Volatile organic compound (VOC) means any organic compound which 
participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions, that is, any 
organic compound other than those which the Administrator designates as 
having negligible photochemical reactivity. A VOC may be measured by a 
reference method, an equivalent method, an alternative method, or by 
procedures specified under any rule. A reference method, an equivalent 
method, or an alternative method, however, may also measure nonreactive 
organic compounds. In such cases, the owner or operator may exclude the 
nonreactive organic compounds when determining compliance with a 
standard. For a list of compounds that the Administrator has designated 
as having negligible photochemical reactivity, refer to 40 CFR part 
51.10.
    Washcoat means a transparent special purpose finishing material 
having a solids content by weight of 12.0 percent by weight or less. 
Washcoats are applied over initial stains to protect, to control color, 
and to stiffen the wood fibers in order to aid sanding.
    Washoff operations means those operations in which organic solvent 
is used to remove coating from wood furniture or a wood furniture 
component.
    Wood furniture means any product made of wood, a wood product such 
as rattan or wicker, or an engineered wood product such as 
particleboard that is manufactured under any of the following standard 
industrial classification codes: 2434, 2511, 2512, 2517, 2519, 2521, 
2531, 2541, 2599, or 5712.
    Wood furniture component means any part that is used in the 
manufacture of wood furniture. Examples include, but are not limited 
to, drawer sides, cabinet doors, seat cushions, and laminated tops.
    Wood furniture manufacturing operations means the finishing, 
gluing, cleaning, and washoff operations associated with the production 
of wood furniture or wood furniture components.

work practice implementation plan shall be available for inspection by 
the Administrator upon request. If the Administrator determines that 
the work practice implementation plan does not adequately address each 
of the topics specified in paragraphs (b) through (l) of this section 
or that the plan does not include sufficient mechanisms for ensuring 
that the work practice standards are being implemented, the 
Administrator may require the affected source to modify the plan. 
Revisions or modifications to the plan do not require a revision of the 
source's Title V permit.
    (b) Operator training course. Each owner or operator of an affected 
source shall train all new and existing personnel, including contract 
personnel, who are involved in finishing, gluing, cleaning, and washoff 
operations, use of manufacturing equipment, or implementation of the 
requirements of this subpart. All new personnel, those hired after the

shall be made no later than five calendar days after the leak is 
detected; and
    (ii) Final repairs shall be made within 15 calendar days after the 
leak is detected, unless the leaking equipment is to be replaced by a 
new purchase, in which case repairs shall be completed within three 
months.
    (d) Cleaning and washoff solvent accounting system. Each owner or 
operator of an affected source shall develop an organic solvent 
accounting form to record:

material used to cover the booth is being replaced, the affected source 
shall use no more than 1.0 gallon of organic solvent per booth to 
prepare the surface of the booth prior to applying the booth coating.
    (g) Storage requirements. Each owner or operator of an affected 
source shall use normally closed containers for storing finishing,

than 1.0 lb VOC/lb solids, as applied;
    (2) For touchup and repair under the following conditions:
    (i) The touchup and repair occurs after completion of the finishing 
operation; or

[[Page 62941]]

    (ii) The touchup and repair occurs after the application of stain 
and before the application of any other type of finishing material, and 
the materials used for touchup and repair are applied from a container 
that has a volume of no more than 2.0 gallons.
    (3) When spray is automated, that is, the spray gun is aimed and 
triggered automatically, not manually;
    (4) When emissions from the finishing application station are 
directed to a control device;
    (5) The conventional air gun is used to apply finishing materials 
and the cumulative total usage of that finishing material is no more 
than 5.0 percent of the total gallons of finishing material used during 
that semiannual period; or
    (6) The conventional air gun is used to apply stain on a part for 
which it is technically or economically infeasible to use any other 
spray application technology.
    The affected source shall demonstrate technical or economic 
infeasibility by submitting to the Administrator a videotape, a 
technical report, or other documentation that supports the affected 
source's claim of technical or economic infeasibility. The following 
criteria shall be used, either independently or in combination, to 
support the affected source's claim of technical or economic 
infeasibility:
    (i) The production speed is too high or the part shape is too 
complex for one operator to coat the part and the application station 
is not large enough to accommodate an additional operator; or
    (ii) The excessively large vertical spray area of the part makes it 
difficult to avoid sagging or runs in the stain.
    (i) Line cleaning. Each owner or operator of an affected source 
shall pump or drain all organic solvent used for line cleaning into a 
normally closed container.
    (j) Gun cleaning. Each owner or operator of an affected source 
shall collect all organic solvent used to clean spray guns into a 
normally closed container.
    (k) Washoff operations. Each owner or operator of an affected 
source shall control emissions from washoff operations by:
    (1) Using normally closed tanks for washoff; and
    (2) Minimizing dripping by tilting or rotating the part to drain as 
much solvent as possible.
    (l) Formulation assessment plan for finishing operations. Each 
owner or operator of an affected source shall prepare and maintain with 
the work practice implementation plan a formulation assessment plan 
that:
    (1) Identifies VHAP from the list presented in Table 5 of this 
subpart that are being used in finishing operations by the affected 
source;
    (2) Establishes a baseline level of usage by the affected source, 
for each VHAP identified in paragraph (l)(1) of this section. The 
baseline usage level shall be the highest annual usage from 1994, 1995, 
or 1996, for each VHAP identified in paragraph (l)(1) of this section. 
For formaldehyde, the baseline level of usage shall be based on the 
amount of free formaldehyde present in the finishing material when it 
is applied. For styrene, the baseline level of usage shall be an 
estimate of unreacted styrene, which shall be calculated by multiplying 
the amount of styrene monomer in the finishing material, when it is 
applied, by a factor of 0.16. Sources using a control device to reduce 
emissions may adjust their usage based on the overall control 
efficiency of the control system, which is determined using the 
equation in Sec. 63.805 (d) or (e).
    (3) Tracks the annual usage of each VHAP identified in (l)(1) by 
the affected source that is present in amounts subject to MSDS 
reporting as required by OSHA.
    (4) If, after November 1998, the annual usage of the VHAP 
identified in paragraph (l)(1) exceeds its baseline level, then the 
owner or operator of the affected source shall provide a written 
notification to the permitting authority that describes the amount of 
the increase and explains the reasons for exceedance of the baseline 
level. The following explanations would relieve the owner or operator 
from further action, unless the affected source is not in compliance 
with any State regulations or requirements for that VHAP:
    (i) The exceedance is no more than 15.0 percent above the baseline 
level;
    (ii) Usage of the VHAP is below the de minimis level presented in 
Table 5 of this subpart for that VHAP (sources using a control device 
to reduce emissions may adjust their usage based on the overall control 
efficiency of the control system, which is determined using the 
procedures in Sec. 63.805 (d) or (e);
    (iii) The affected source is in compliance with its State's air 
toxic regulations or guidelines for the VHAP; or
    (iv) The source of the pollutant is a finishing material with a VOC 
content of no more than 1.0 kg VOC/kg solids (1.0 lb VOC/lb solids), as 
applied.
    (5) If none of the above explanations are the reason for the 
increase, the owner or operator shall confer with the permitting 
authority to discuss the reason for the increase and whether there are 
practical and reasonable technology-based solutions for reducing the 
usage. The evaluation of whether a technology is reasonable and 
practical shall be based on cost, quality, and marketability of the 
product, whether the technology is being used successfully by other 
wood furniture manufacturing operations, or other criteria mutually 
agreed upon by the permitting authority and owner or operator. If there 
are no practical and reasonable solutions, the facility need take no 
further action. If there are solutions, the owner or operator shall 
develop a plan to reduce usage of the pollutant to the extent feasible. 
The plan shall address the approach to be used to reduce emissions, a 
timetable for implementing the plan, and a schedule for submitting 
notification of progress.
    (6) If after November 1998, an affected source uses a VHAP of 
potential concern for which a baseline level has not been previously 
established, then the baseline level shall be established as the de 
minimis level, based on 70 year exposure levels and data provided in 
the proposed rulemaking pursuant to Section 112(g) of the CAA, for that 
pollutant. A list of VHAP of potential concern is provided in Table 6 
of this subpart. If usage of the VHAP of potential concern exceeds the 
de minimis level, then the affected source shall provide an explanation 
to the permitting authority that documents the reason for exceedance of 
the de minimis level. If the explanation is not one of those listed in 
paragraphs (l)(4)(i) through (l)(4)(iv), the affected source shall 
follow the procedures established in (l)(5).

coatings, as determined by the VHAP content of the coating in the 
reservoir, have been used each day in the semiannual reporting period. 
Additionally, the certification shall state that the viscosity of the 
coating in the reservoir has not been less than the viscosity of the 
initial coating, that is, the coating that is initially mixed and 
placed in the reservoir, for any day in the semiannual reporting 
period.
    (B) The compliance certification shall be signed by a responsible 
official of the company that owns or operates the affected source.
    (C) An affected source is in violation of the standard when a 
sample of the as-applied coating exceeds the applicable limit 
established in Sec. 63.804 (a)(2) or (d)(2), as determined using EPA 
Method 311, or the viscosity of the coating in the reservoir is less 
than the viscosity of the initial coating.

Sec. 63.805  Performance test methods.

    (a) The EPA Method 311 of Appendix A of part 63 shall be used in 
conjunction with formulation data to determine the VHAP content of the 
liquid coating. Formulation data shall be used to identify VHAP present 
in the coating. The EPA Method 311 shall then be used to quantify those 
VHAP identified through formulation data. The EPA Method 311 shall not 
be used to quantify HAP such as styrene and formaldehyde that are 
emitted during the cure. The EPA Method 24 (40 CFR part 60, Appendix A) 
shall be used to determine the solids content by weight and the density 
of coatings. If it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the 
Administrator that a coating does not release VOC or HAP byproducts 
during the cure, for example, all VOC and HAP present in the coating is 
solvent, then batch formulation information shall be accepted. The 
owner or operator of an affected source may request approval from the 
Administrator to use an alternative method for determining the VHAP 
content of the coating. In the event of any inconsistency between the 
EPA Method 24 or Method 311 test data and a facility's formulation 
data, that is, if the EPA Method 24/311 value is higher, the EPA Method 
24/311 test shall govern unless after consultation, a regulated source 
could demonstrate to the satisfaction of the enforcement agency that 
the formulation data were correct. Sampling procedures shall follow the 
guidelines presented in ``Standard Procedures for Collection of Coating 
and Ink Samples for VOC Content Analysis by Reference Method 24 and 
Reference Method 24A,'' EPA-340/1-91-010. (Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. 
IV-A-1).
    (b) Owners or operators demonstrating compliance in accordance with 
Sec. 63.804 (f)(4) or (f)(6) and Sec. 63.804 (g)(4) or (g)(6), or 
complying with any of the other emission limits of Sec. 63.802 by 
operating a capture or control device shall determine the overall 
control efficiency of the control system (R) as the product of the 
capture and control device efficiency, using the test methods cited in 
Sec. 63.805(c) and the procedures in Sec. 63.805 (d) or (e).
    (c) When an initial compliance demonstration is required by 
Sec. 63.804 (f)(4) or (f)(6) of this subpart, the procedures in 
paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this section shall be used in 
determining initial compliance with the provisions of this subpart.
    (1) The EPA Method 18 (40 CFR part 60, Appendix A) shall be used to 
determine the HAP concentration of gaseous air streams. The test shall 
consist of three separate runs, each lasting a minimum of 30 minutes.
    (2) The EPA Method 1 or 1A (40 CFR part 60, Appendix A) shall be 
used for sample and velocity traverses.
    (3) The EPA Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D (40 CFR part 60, Appendix A) 
shall be used to measure velocity and volumetric flow rates.
    (4) The EPA Method 3 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) shall be used to 
analyze the exhaust gases.
    (5) The EPA Method 4 (40 CFR part 60, Appendix A) shall be used to 
measure the moisture in the stack gas.
    (6) The EPA Methods 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 3, and 4 shall be performed, as 
applicable, at least twice during each test period.

[[Page 62946]]

    (d) Each owner or operator of an affected source demonstrating 
compliance in accordance with Sec. 63.804 (f)(4) or (f)(6) shall 
perform a gaseous emission test using the following procedures:
    (1) Construct the overall HAP emission reduction system so that all 
volumetric flow rates and total HAP emissions can be accurately 
determined by the applicable test methods specified in Sec. 63.805(c) 
(1) through (6);
    (2) Determine capture efficiency from the affected emission 
point(s) by capturing, venting, and measuring all HAP emissions from 
the affected emission point(s). During a performance test, the owner or 
operator shall isolate affected emission point(s) located in an area 
with other nonaffected gaseous emission sources from all other gaseous 
emission point(s) by any of the following methods:
    (i) Build a temporary total enclosure (see Sec. 63.801) around the 
affected emission point(s); or
    (ii) Use the building that houses the process as the enclosure (see 
Sec. 63.801);
    (iii) Use any alternative protocol and test method provided they 
meet either the requirements of the data quality objective (DQO) 
approach or the lower confidence level (LCL) approach (see 
Sec. 63.801);
    (iv) Shut down all nonaffected HAP emission point(s) and continue 
to exhaust fugitive emissions from the affected emission point(s) 
through any building ventilation system and other room exhausts such as 
drying ovens. All exhaust air must be vented through stacks suitable 
for testing; or
    (v) Use another methodology approved by the Administrator provided 
it complies with the EPA criteria for acceptance under part 63, 
appendix A, Method 301.
    (3) Operate the control device with all affected emission points 
that will subsequently be delivered to the control device connected and 
operating at maximum production rate;
    (4) Determine the efficiency (F) of the control device using the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.000

    (5) Determine the efficiency (N) of the capture system using the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.001

    (6) For each affected source complying with Sec. 63.802(a)(1) in 
accordance with Sec. 63.804(a)(3), compliance is demonstrated if the 
product of (F x N)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of 
Eac in Equation 2 is no greater than 1.0.
    (7) For each new affected source complying with Sec. 63.802(b)(1) 
in accordance with Sec. 63.804(d)(3), compliance is demonstrated if the 
product of (F x N)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of 
Eac in Equation 4 is no greater than 0.8.
    (8) For each affected source complying with Sec. 63.802(a)(2)(ii)

Gac in Equation 3 is no greater than 0.2.
    (e) An alternative method to the compliance method in 
Sec. 63.805(d) is the installation of a permanent total enclosure 
around the affected emission point(s). A permanent total enclosure 
presents prima facia evidence that all HAP emissions from the affected 
emission point(s) are directed to the control device. Each affected 
source that complies using a permanent total enclosure shall:
    (1) Demonstrate that the total enclosure meets the requirements in 
paragraphs (e)(1) (i) through (iv). The owner or operator of an 
enclosure that does not meet these requirements may apply to the 
Administrator for approval of the enclosure as a total enclosure on a 
case-by-case basis. The enclosure shall be considered a total enclosure 
if it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Administrator that all 
HAP emissions from the affected emission point(s) are contained and 
vented to the control device. The requirements for automatic approval 
are as follows:
    (i) The total area of all natural draft openings shall not exceed 5 
percent of the total surface area of the total enclosure's walls, 
floor, and ceiling;
    (ii) All sources of emissions within the enclosure shall be a 
minimum of four equivalent diameters away from each natural draft 
opening;
    (iii) The average inward face velocity (FV) across all natural 
draft openings shall be a minimum of 3,600 meters per hour as 
determined by the following procedures:
    (A) All forced makeup air ducts and all exhaust ducts are 
constructed so that the volumetric flow rate in each can be accurately 
determined by the test methods specified in Sec. 63.805 (c)(2) and (3). 
Volumetric flow rates shall be calculated without the adjustment 
normally made for moisture content; and
    (B) Determine FV by the following equation:

[[Page 62947]]
    [GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.002
    

    (iv) All access doors and windows whose areas are not included as 
natural draft openings and are not included in the calculation of FV 
shall be closed during routine operation of the process.
    (2) Determine the control device efficiency using Equation (5), and 
the test methods and procedures specified in Sec. 63.805 (c)(1) through 
(6).

(N=1);
    (ii) The value of F is determined from Equation (5); and
    (iii) The product of (F x N)(100) yields a value (R) such that the 
value of Gac in Equation 3 is no greater than 1.0.
    (6) For each new affected source complying with Sec. 63.802(b)(2) 
in accordance with Sec. 63.804(e)(2), compliance is demonstrated if:
    (i) The installation of a permanent total enclosure is demonstrated 
(N=1);

follows:

Appendix A to Part 63--Test Methods

Method 311--Analysis of Hazardous Air Pollutant Compounds in Paints 
and Coatings by Direct Injection Into a Gas Chromatograph

1. Scope and Application

    1.1  Applicability. This method is applicable for determination 
of most compounds designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency as volatile hazardous air pollutants (HAP's) (See Reference 
1) that are contained in paints and coatings. Styrene, ethyl 
acrylate, and methyl methacrylate can be measured by ASTM D 4827-93 
or ASTM D 4747-87. Formaldehyde can be measured by ASTM PS 9-94 or 
ASTM D 1979-91. Toluene diisocyanate can be measured in urethane 
prepolymers by ASTM D 3432-89. Method 311 applies only to those 
volatile HAP's which are added to the coating when it is 
manufactured, not to those which may form as the coating cures 
(reaction products or cure volatiles). A separate or modified test 
procedure must be used to measure these reaction products or cure 
volatiles in order to determine the total volatile HAP emissions 
from a coating. Cure volatiles are a significant component of the 
total HAP content of some coatings. The term ``coating'' used in 
this method shall be understood to mean paints and coatings.
    1.2  Principle. The method uses the principle of gas 
chromatographic separation and quantification using a detector that 
responds to concentration differences. Because there are many 
potential analytical systems or sets of operating conditions that 
may represent useable methods for determining the concentrations of 
the compounds cited in Section 1.1 in the applicable matrices, all 
systems that employ this principle, but differ only in details of 
equipment and operation, may be used as alternative methods, 
provided that the prescribed quality control, calibration, and 
method performance requirements are met. Certified product data 
sheets (CPDS) may also include information relevant to the analysis 
of the coating sample including, but not limited to, separation 
column, oven temperature, carrier gas, injection port temperature, 
extraction solvent, and internal standard.

2. Summary of Method

    Whole coating is added to dimethylformamide and a suitable 
internal standard compound is added. An aliquot of the sample 
mixture is injected onto a chromatographic column containing a 
stationary phase that separates the analytes from each other and 
from other volatile compounds contained in the sample. The 
concentrations of the analytes are determined by comparing the 
detector responses for the sample to the responses obtained using 
known concentrations of the analytes.

3. Definitions [Reserved]

4. Interferences

    4.1  Coating samples of unknown composition may contain the 
compound used as the internal standard. Whether or not this is the 
case may be determined by following the procedures of Section 11 and 
deleting the addition of the internal standard specified in Section 
11.5.3. If necessary, a different internal standard may be used.
    4.2  The GC column and operating conditions developed for one 
coating formulation may not ensure adequate resolution of target 
analytes for other coating formulations. Some formulations may 
contain nontarget analytes that coelute with target analytes. If 
there is any doubt about the identification or resolution of any gas 
chromatograph (GC) peak, it may be necessary to analyze the sample 
using a different GC column or different GC operating conditions. 

[[Page 62953]]

    4.3  Cross-contamination may occur whenever high-level and low-
level samples are analyzed sequentially. The order of sample 
analyses specified in Section 11.7 is designed to minimize this 
problem.
    4.4  Cross-contamination may also occur if the devices used to 
transfer coating during the sample preparation process or for 
injecting the sample into the GC are not adequately cleaned between 
uses. All such devices should be cleaned with acetone or other 
suitable solvent and checked for plugs or cracks before and after 
each use.

5. Safety

    5.1  Many solvents used in coatings are hazardous. Precautions 
should be taken to avoid unnecessary inhalation and skin or eye 
contact. This method may involve hazardous materials, operations, 
and equipment. This test method does not purport to address all of 
the safety problems associated with its use. It is the 
responsibility of the user of this test method to establish 
appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the 
applicability of regulatory limitations in regards to the 
performance of this test method.
    5.2  Dimethylformamide is harmful if inhaled or absorbed through 
the skin. The user should obtain relevant health and safety 
information from the manufacturer. Dimethylformamide should be used 
only with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and 
clothing. In case of contact, immediately flush skin or eyes with 
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eyes are affected, 
consult a physician. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before 
reuse.
    5.3  User's manuals for the gas chromatograph and other related 
equipment should be consulted for specific precautions to be taken 
related to their use.

6. Equipment and Supplies

    Note: Certified product data sheets (CPDS) may also include 
information relevant to the analysis of the coating sample 
including, but not limited to, separation column, oven temperature, 
carrier gas, injection port temperature, extraction solvent, and 
internal standard.

    6.1  Sample Collection.
    6.1.1  Sampling Containers. Dual-seal sampling containers, four 
to eight fluid ounce capacity, should be used to collect the 
samples. Glass sample bottles or plastic containers with volatile 
organic compound (VOC) impermeable walls must be used for corrosive 
substances (e.g., etch primers and certain coating catalysts such as 
methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) peroxide). Sample containers, caps, and 
inner seal liners must be inert to the compounds in the sample and 
must be selected on a case-by-case basis.
    6.1.1.1  Other routine sampling supplies needed include 
waterproof marking pens, tubing, scrappers/spatulas, clean rags, 
paper towels, cooler/ice, long handle tongs, and mixing/stirring 
paddles.
    6.1.2  Personal safety equipment needed includes eye protection, 
respiratory protection, a hard hat, gloves, steel toe shoes, etc.
    6.1.3  Shipping supplies needed include shipping boxes, packing 
material, shipping labels, strapping tape, etc.
    6.1.4  Data recording forms and labels needed include coating 
data sheets and sample can labels.

    Note: The actual requirements will depend upon the conditions 
existing at the source sampled.

    6.2  Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.
    6.2.1  Gas Chromatograph (GC). Any instrument equipped with a 
flame ionization detector and capable of being temperature 
programmed may be used. Optionally, other types of detectors (e.g., 
a mass spectrometer), and any necessary interfaces, may be used 
provided that the detector system yields an appropriate and 
reproducible response to the analytes in the injected sample. 
Autosampler injection may be used, if available.
    6.2.2  Recorder. If available, an electronic data station or 
integrator may be used to record the gas chromatogram and associated 
data. If a strip chart recorder is used, it must meet the following 
criteria: A 1 to 10 millivolt (mV) linear response with a full scale 
response time of 2 seconds or less and a maximum noise level of 
0.03 percent of full scale. Other types of recorders may 
be used as appropriate to the specific detector installed provided 
that the recorder has a full scale response time of 2 seconds or 
less and a maximum noise level of 0.03 percent of full 
scale.
    6.2.3  Column. The column must be constructed of materials that 
do not react with components of the sample (e.g., fused silica, 
stainless steel, glass). The column should be of appropriate 
physical dimensions (e.g., length, internal diameter) and contain 
sufficient suitable stationary phase to allow separation of the 
analytes. DB-5, DB-Wax, and FFAP columns are commonly used for paint 
analysis; however, it is the responsibility of each analyst to 
select appropriate columns and stationary phases.
    6.2.4  Tube and Tube Fittings. Supplies to connect the GC and 
gas cylinders.
    6.2.5  Pressure Regulators. Devices used to regulate the 
pressure between gas cylinders and the GC.
    6.2.6  Flow Meter. A device used to determine the carrier gas 
flow rate through the GC. Either a digital flow meter or a soap film 
bubble meter may be used to measure gas flow rates.
    6.2.7  Septa. Seals on the GC injection port through which 
liquid or gas samples can be injected using a syringe.
    6.2.8  Liquid Charging Devices. Devices used to inject samples 
into the GC such as clean and graduated 1, 5, and 10 microliter 
(l) capacity syringes.
    6.2.9  Vials. Containers that can be sealed with a septum in 
which samples may be prepared or stored. The recommended size is 25 
ml capacity. Mininert valves have been found satisfactory 
and are available from Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, Illinois.
    6.2.10  Balance. Device used to determine the weights of 
standards and samples. An analytical balance capable of accurately 
weighing to 0.0001 g is required.

7. Reagents and Standards

    7.1  Purity of Reagents. Reagent grade chemicals shall be used 
in all tests. Unless otherwise specified, all reagents shall conform 
to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the 
American Chemical Society, where such specifications are available. 
Other grades may be used provided it is first ascertained that the 
reagent is of sufficient purity to permit its use without lessening 
the accuracy of determination.
    7.2  Carrier Gas. Helium carrier gas shall have a purity of 
99.995 percent or higher. High purity nitrogen may also be used. 
Other carrier gases that are appropriate for the column system and 
analyte may also be used. Ultra-high purity grade hydrogen gas and 
zero-grade air shall be used for the flame ionization detector.
    7.3  Dimethylformamide (DMF). Solvent for all standards and 
samples. Some other suitable solvent may be used if DMF is not 
compatible with the sample or coelutes with a target analyte.

    Note: DMF may coelute with ethylbenzene or p-xylene under the 
conditions described in the note under Section 6.2.3.

    7.4  Internal Standard Materials. The internal standard material 
is used in the quantitation of the analytes for this method. It 
shall be gas chromatography spectrophotometric quality or, if this 
grade is not available, the highest quality available. Obtain the 
assay for the internal standard material and maintain at that purity 
during use. The recommended internal standard material is 1-
propanol; however, selection of an appropriate internal standard 
material for the particular coating and GC conditions used is the 
responsibility of each analyst.
    7.5  Reference Standard Materials. The reference standard 
materials are the chemicals cited in Section 1.1 which are of known 
identity and purity and which are used to assist in the 
identification and quantification of the analytes of this method. 
They shall be the highest quality available. Obtain the assays for 
the reference standard materials and maintain at those purities 
during use.
    7.6  Stock Reference Standards. Stock reference standards are 
dilutions of the reference standard materials that may be used on a 
daily basis to prepare calibration standards, calibration check 
standards, and quality control check standards. Stock reference 
standards may be prepared from the reference standard materials or 
purchased as certified solutions.
    7.6.1  Stock reference standards should be prepared in 
dimethylformamide for each analyte expected in the coating samples 
to be analyzed. The concentrations of analytes in the stock 
reference standards are not specified but must be adequate to 
prepare the calibration standards required in the method. A stock 
reference standard may contain more than one analyte provided all 
analytes are chemically compatible and no analytes coelute. The 
actual concentrations prepared must be known to within 0.1 percent 
(e.g., 0.1000  0.0001 g/g solution). The following 
procedure is suggested. Place about 35 ml of dimethylformamide into 
a tared ground-glass stoppered 50 ml volumetric flask. Weigh the 
flask to the nearest 0.1 mg. Add 12.5 g of the reference standard 
material and reweigh the flask. Dilute to volume with 
dimethylformamide and reweigh. Stopper the 

[[Page 62954]]
flask and mix the contents by inverting the flask several times. 
Calculate the concentration in grams per gram of solution from the 
net gain in weights, correcting for the assayed purity of the 
reference standard material.

    Note: Although a glass-stoppered volumetric flask is convenient, 
any suitable glass container may be used because stock reference 
standards are prepared by weight.

    7.6.2  Transfer the stock reference standard solution into one 
or more Teflon-sealed screw-cap bottles. Store, with minimal 
headspace, at -10 deg.C to 0 deg.C and protect from light.
    7.6.3  Prepare fresh stock reference standards every six months, 
or sooner if analysis results from daily calibration check standards 
indicate a problem. Fresh stock reference standards for very 
volatile HAP's may have to be prepared more frequently.
    7.7  Calibration Standards. Calibration standards are used to 
determine the response of the detector to known amounts of reference 
material. Calibration standards must be prepared at a minimum of 
three concentration levels from the stock reference standards (see 
Section 7.6). Prepare the calibration standards in dimethylformamide 
(see Section 7.3). The lowest concentration standard should contain 
a concentration of analyte equivalent either to a concentration of 
no more than 0.01% of the analyte in a coating or to a concentration 
that is lower than the actual concentration of the analyte in the 
coating, whichever concentration is higher. The highest 
concentration standard should contain a concentration of analyte 
equivalent to slightly more than the highest concentration expected 
for the analyte in a coating. The remaining calibration standard 
should contain a concentration of analyte roughly at the midpoint of 
the range defined by the lowest and highest concentration 
calibration standards. The concentration range of the standards 
should thus correspond to the expected range of analyte 
concentrations in the prepared coating samples (see Section 11.5). 
Each calibration standard should contain each analyte for detection 
by this method expected in the actual coating samples (e.g., some or 
all of the compounds listed in Section 1.1 may be included). Each 
calibration standard should also contain an appropriate amount of 
internal standard material (response for the internal standard 
material is within 25 to 75 percent of full scale on the attenuation 
setting for the particular reference standard concentration level). 
Calibration Standards should be stored for 1 week only in sealed 
vials with minimal headspace. If the stock reference standards were 
prepared as specified in Section 7.6, the calibration standards may 
be prepared by either weighing each addition of the stock reference 
standard or by adding known volumes of the stock reference standard 
and calculating the mass of the standard reference material added. 
Alternative 1 (Section 7.7.1) specifies the procedure to be followed 
when the stock reference standard is added by volume. Alternative 2 
(Section 7.7.2) specifies the procedure to be followed when the 
stock reference standard is added by weight.

    Note: To assist with determining the appropriate amount of 
internal standard to add, as required here and in other sections of 
this method, the analyst may find it advantageous to prepare a curve 
showing the area response versus the amount of internal standard 
injected into the GC.

    7.7.1  Preparation Alternative 1. Determine the amount of each 
stock reference standard and dimethylformamide solvent needed to 
prepare approximately 25 ml of the specific calibration 
concentration level desired. To a tared 25 ml vial that can be 
sealed with a crimp-on or Mininert valve, add the total 
amount of dimethylformamide calculated to be needed. As quickly as 
practical, add the calculated amount of each stock reference 
standard using new pipets (or pipet tips) for each stock reference 
standard. Reweigh the vial and seal it. Using the known weights of 
the standard reference materials per ml in the stock reference 
standards, the volumes added, and the total weight of all reagents 
added to the vial, calculate the weight percent of each standard 
reference material in the calibration standard prepared. Repeat this 
process for each calibration standard to be prepared.
    7.7.2  Preparation Alternative 2. Determine the amount of each 
stock reference standard and dimethylformamide solvent needed to 
prepare approximately 25 ml of the specific calibration 
concentration level desired. To a tared 25 ml vial that can be 
sealed with a crimp-on or Mininert valve, add the total 
amount of dimethylformamide calculated to be needed. As quickly as 
practical, add the calculated amount of a stock reference standard 
using a new pipet (or pipet tip) and reweigh the vial. Repeat this 
process for each stock reference standard to be added. Seal the vial 
after obtaining the final weight. Using the known weight percents of 
the standard reference materials in the stock reference standards, 
the weights of the stock reference standards added, and the total 
weight of all reagents added to the vial, calculate the weight 
percent of each standard reference material in the calibration 
standard prepared. Repeat this process for each calibration standard 
to be prepared.

8. Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage

    8.1  Copies of material safety data sheets (MSDS's) for each 
sample should be obtained prior to sampling. The MSDS's contain 
information on the ingredients, and physical and chemical properties 
data. The MSDS's also contain recommendations for proper handling or 
required safety precautions. Certified product data sheets (CPDS) 
may also include information relevant to the analysis of the coating 
sample including, but not limited to, separation column, oven 
temperature, carrier gas, injection port temperature, extraction 
solvent, and internal standard.
    8.2  A copy of the blender's worksheet can be requested to 
obtain data on the exact coating being sampled. A blank coating data 
sheet form (see Section 18) may also be used. The manufacturer's 
formulation information from the product data sheet should also be 
obtained.
    8.3  Prior to sample collection, thoroughly mix the coating to 
ensure that a representative, homogeneous sample is obtained. It is 
preferred that this be accomplished using a coating can shaker or 
similar device; however, when necessary, this may be accomplished 
using mechanical agitation or circulation systems.
    8.3.1  Water-thinned coatings tend to incorporate or entrain air 
bubbles if stirred too vigorously; mix these types of coatings 
slowly and only as long as necessary to homogenize.
    8.3.2  Each component of multicomponent coatings that harden 
when mixed must be sampled separately. The component mix ratios must 
be obtained at the facility at the time of sampling and submitted to 
the analytical laboratory.
    8.4  Sample Collection. Samples must be collected in a manner 
that prevents or minimizes loss of volatile components and that does 
not contaminate the coating reservoir. A suggested procedure is as 
follows. Select a sample collection container which has a capacity 
at least 25 percent greater than the container in which the sample 
is to be transported. Make sure both sample containers are clean and 
dry. Using clean, long-handled tongs, turn the sample collection 
container upside down and lower it into the coating reservoir. The 
mouth of the sample collection container should be at approximately 
the midpoint of the reservoir (do not take the sample from the top 
surface). Turn the sample collection container over and slowly bring 
it to the top of the coating reservoir. Rapidly pour the collected 
coating into the sample container, filling it completely. It is 
important to fill the sample container completely to avoid any loss 
of volatiles due to volatilization into the headspace. Return any 
unused coating to the reservoir or dispose as appropriate.

    Note: If a company requests a set of samples for its own 
analysis, a separate set of samples, using new sample containers, 
should be taken at the same time.

    8.5  Once the sample is collected, place the sample container on 
a firm surface and insert the inner seal in the container by placing 
the seal inside the rim of the container, inverting a screw cap, and 
pressing down on the screw cap which will evenly force the inner 
seal into the container for a tight fit. Using clean towels or rags, 
remove all residual coating material from the outside of the sample 
container after inserting the inner seal. Screw the cap onto the 
container.
    8.5.1  Affix a sample label (see Section 18) clearly identifying 
the sample, date collected, and person collecting the sample.
    8.5.2  Prepare the sample for transportation to the laboratory. 
The sample should be maintained at the coating's recommended storage 
temperature specified on the Material Safety Data Sheet, or, if no 
temperature is specified, the sample should be maintained within the 
range of 5 deg.C to 38 deg.C.
    8.9  The shipping container should adhere to U.S. Department of 
Transportation specification DOT 12-B. Coating samples are 
considered hazardous materials; appropriate shipping procedures 
should be followed. 

[[Page 62955]]


9. Quality Control

    9.1  Laboratories using this method should operate a formal 
quality control program. The minimum requirements of the program 
should consist of an initial demonstration of laboratory capability 
and an ongoing analysis of blanks and quality control samples to 
evaluate and document quality data. The laboratory must maintain 
records to document the quality of the data generated. When results 
indicate atypical method performance, a quality control check 
standard (see Section 9.4) must be analyzed to confirm that the 
measurements were performed in an in-control mode of operation.
    9.2  Before processing any samples, the analyst must 
demonstrate, through analysis of a reagent blank, that there are no 
interferences from the analytical system, glassware, and reagents 
that would bias the sample analysis results. Each time a set of 
analytical samples is processed or there is a change in reagents, a 
reagent blank should be processed as a safeguard against chronic 
laboratory contamination. The blank samples should be carried 
through all stages of the sample preparation and measurement steps.
    9.3  Required instrument quality control parameters are found in 
the following sections:
    9.3.1  Baseline stability must be demonstrated to be 
5 percent of full scale using the procedures given in 
Section 10.1.
    9.3.2  The GC calibration is not valid unless the retention time 
(RT) for each analyte at each concentration is within 
0.05 min of the retention time measured for that analyte 
in the stock standard.
    9.3.3  The retention time (RT) of any sample analyte must be 
within 0.05 min of the average RT of the analyte in the 
calibration standards for the analyte to be considered tentatively 
identified.
    9.3.4  The GC system must be calibrated as specified in Section 
10.2.
    9.3.5  A one-point daily calibration check must be performed as 
specified in Section 10.3.
    9.4  To establish the ability to generate results having 
acceptable accuracy and precision, the analyst must perform the 
following operations.
    9.4.1  Prepare a quality control check standard (QCCS) 
containing each analyte expected in the coating samples at a 
concentration expected to result in a response between 25 percent 
and 75 percent of the limits of the calibration curve when the 
sample is prepared as described in Section 11.5. The QCCS may be 
prepared from reference standard materials or purchased as certified 
solutions. If prepared in the laboratory, the QCCS must be prepared 
independently from the calibration standards.
    9.4.2  Analyze three aliquots of the QCCS according to the 
method beginning in Section 11.5.3 and calculate the weight percent 
of each analyte using Equation 1, Section 12.
    9.4.3  Calculate the mean weight percent (X) for each analyte 
from the three results obtained in Section 9.4.2.
    9.4.4  Calculate the percent accuracy for each analyte using the 
known concentrations (Ti) in the QCCS using Equation 3, Section 12.
    9.4.5  Calculate the percent relative standard deviation 
(percent RSD) for each analyte using Equation 7, Section 12, 
substituting the appropriate values for the relative response 
factors (RRF's) in said equation.
    9.4.6  If the percent accuracy (Section 9.4.4) for all analytes 
is within the range 90 percent to 110 percent and the percent RSD 
(Section 9.4.5) for all analytes is 20 percent, system 
performance is acceptable and sample analysis may begin. If these 
criteria are not met for any analyte, then system performance is not 
acceptable for that analyte and the test must be repeated for those 
analytes only. Repeated failures indicate a general problem with the 
measurement system that must be located and corrected. In this case, 
the entire test, beginning at Section 9.4.1, must be repeated after 
the problem is corrected.
    9.5  Great care must be exercised to maintain the integrity of 
all standards. It is recommended that all standards be stored at -10 
 deg.C to 0  deg.C in screw-cap amber glass bottles with Teflon 
liners.
    9.6  Unless otherwise specified, all weights are to be recorded 
within 0.1 mg.

10. Calibration and Standardization.

    10.1  Column Baseline Drift. Before each calibration and series 
of determinations and before the daily calibration check, condition 
the column using procedures developed by the laboratory or as 
specified by the column supplier. Operate the GC at initial (i.e., 
before sample injection) conditions on the lowest attenuation to be 
used during sample analysis. Adjust the recorder pen to zero on the 
chart and obtain a baseline for at least one minute. Initiate the GC 
operating cycle that would be used for sample analysis. On the 
recorder chart, mark the pen position at the end of the simulated 
sample analysis cycle. Baseline drift is defined as the absolute 
difference in the pen positions at the beginning and end of the 
cycle in the direction perpendicular to the chart movement. 
Calculate the percent baseline drift by dividing the baseline drift 
by the chart width representing full-scale deflection and multiply 
the result by 100.
    10.2  Calibration of GC. Bring all stock standards and 
calibration standards to room temperature while establishing the GC 
at the determined operating conditions.
    10.2.1  Retention Times (RT's) for Individual Compounds.

    Note: The procedures of this subsection are required only for 
the initial calibration. However, it is good laboratory practice to 
follow these procedures for some or all analytes before each 
calibration. The procedures were written for chromatograms output to 
a strip chart recorder. More modern instruments (e.g., integrators 
and electronic data stations) determine and print out or display 
retention times automatically.

    The RT for each analyte should be determined before calibration. 
This provides a positive identification for each peak observed from 
the calibration standards. Inject an appropriate volume (see Note in 
Section 11.5.2) of one of the stock reference standards into the gas 
chromatograph and record on the chart the pen position at the time 
of the injection (see Section 7.6.1). Dilute an aliquot of the stock 
reference standard as required in dimethylformamide to achieve a 
concentration that will result in an on-scale response. Operate the 
gas chromatograph according to the determined procedures. Select the 
peak(s) that correspond to the analyte(s) [and internal standard, if 
used] and measure the retention time(s). If a chart recorder is 
used, measure the distance(s) on the chart from the injection point 
to the peak maxima. These distances, divided by the chart speed, are 
defined as the RT's of the analytes in question. Repeat this process 
for each of the stock reference standard solutions.

    Note: If gas chromatography with mass spectrometer detection 
(GC-MS) is used, a stock reference standard may contain a group of 
analytes, provided all analytes are adequately separated during the 
analysis. Mass spectral library matching can be used to identify the 
analyte associated with each peak in the gas chromatogram. The 
retention time for the analyte then becomes the retention time of 
its peak in the chromatogram.

    10.2.2  Calibration. The GC must be calibrated using a minimum 
of three concentration levels of each potential analyte. (See 
Section 7.7 for instructions on preparation of the calibration 
standards.) Beginning with the lowest concentration level 
calibration standard, carry out the analysis procedure as described 
beginning in Section 11.7. Repeat the procedure for each 
progressively higher concentration level until all calibration 
standards have been analyzed.
    10.2.2.1  Calculate the RT's for the internal standard and for 
each analyte in the calibration standards at each concentration 
level as described in Section 10.2.1. The RT's for the internal 
standard must not vary by more than 0.10 minutes. Identify each 
analyte by comparison of the RT's for peak maxima to the RT's 
determined in Section 10.2.1.
    10.2.2.2  Compare the retention times (RT's) for each potential 
analyte in the calibration standards for each concentration level to 
the retention times determined in Section 10.2.1. The calibration is 
not valid unless all RT's for all analytes meet the criteria given 
in Section 9.3.2.
    10.2.2.3  Tabulate the area responses and the concentrations for 
the internal standard and each analyte in the calibration standards. 
Calculate the response factor for the internal standard (RFis) 
and the response factor for each compound relative to the internal 
standard (RRF) for each concentration level using Equations 5 and 6, 
Section 12.
    10.2.2.4  Using the RRF's from the calibration, calculate the 
percent relative standard deviation (percent RSD) for each analyte 
in the calibration standard using Equation 7, Section 12. The 
percent RSD for each individual calibration analyte must be less 
than 15 percent. This criterion must be met in order for the 
calibration to be valid. If the criterion is met, the mean RRF's 
determined above are to be used until the next calibration.
    10.3  Daily Calibration Checks. The calibration curve (Section 
10.2.2) must be checked and verified at least once each day that 
samples are analyzed. This is 

[[Page 62956]]
accomplished by analyzing a calibration standard that is at a 
concentration near the midpoint of the working range and performing 
the checks in Sections 10.3.1, 10.3.2, and 10.3.3.
    10.3.1  For each analyte in the calibration standard, calculate 
the percent difference in the RRF from the last calibration using 
Equation 8, Section 12. If the percent difference for each 
calibration analyte is less than 10 percent, the last calibration 
curve is assumed to be valid. If the percent difference for any 
analyte is greater than 5 percent, the analyst should consider this 
a warning limit. If the percent difference for any one calibration 
analyte exceeds 10 percent, corrective action must be taken. If no 
source of the problem can be determined after corrective action has 
been taken, a new three-point (minimum) calibration must be 
generated. This criterion must be met before quantitative analysis 
begins.
    10.3.2  If the RFis for the internal standard changes by 
more than 20 percent from the last daily calibration 
check, the system must be inspected for malfunctions and corrections 
made as appropriate.
    10.3.3  The retention times for the internal standard and all 
calibration check analytes must be evaluated. If the retention time 
for the internal standard or for any calibration check analyte 
changes by more than 0.10 min from the last calibration, the system 
must be inspected for malfunctions and corrections made as required.

11. Procedure

    11.1  All samples and standards must be allowed to warm to room 
temperature before analysis. Observe the given order of ingredient 
addition to minimize loss of volatiles.
    11.2  Bring the GC system to the determined operating conditions 
and condition the column as described in Section 10.1.

    Note: The temperature of the injection port may be an especially 
critical parameter. Information about the proper temperature may be 
found on the CPDS.

    11.3  Perform the daily calibration checks as described in 
Section 10.3. Samples are not to be analyzed until the criteria in 
Section 10.3 are met.
    11.4  Place the as-received coating sample on a paint shaker, or 
similar device, and shake the sample for a minimum of 5 minutes to 
achieve homogenization.
    11.5  Note: The steps in this section must be performed rapidly 
and without interruption to avoid loss of volatile organics. These 
steps must be performed in a laboratory hood free from solvent 
vapors. All weights must be recorded to the nearest 0.1 mg.
    11.5.1  Add 16 g of dimethylformamide to each of two tared vials 
(A and B) capable of being septum sealed.
    11.5.2  To each vial add a weight of coating that will result in 
the response for the major constituent being in the upper half of 
the linear range of the calibration curve.

    Note: The magnitude of the response obviously depends on the 
amount of sample injected into the GC as specified in Section 11.8. 
This volume must be the same as used for preparation of the 
calibration curve, otherwise shifts in compound retention times may 
occur. If a sample is prepared that results in a response outside 
the limits of the calibration curve, new samples must be prepared; 
changing the volume injected to bring the response within the 
calibration curve limits is not permitted.

    11.5.3  Add a weight of internal standard to each vial (A and B) 
that will result in the response for the internal standard being 
between 25 percent and 75 percent of the linear range of the 
calibration curve.
    11.5.4  Seal the vials with crimp-on or Mininert 
septum seals.
    11.6  Shake the vials containing the prepared coating samples 
for 60 seconds. Allow the vials to stand undisturbed for ten 
minutes. If solids have not settled out on the bottom after 10 
minutes, then centrifuge at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes. The analyst 
also has the option of injecting the sample without allowing the 
solids to settle.
    11.7  Analyses should be conducted in the following order: daily 
calibration check sample, method blank, up to 10 injections from 
sample vials (i.e., one injection each from up to five pairs of 
vials, which corresponds to analysis of 5 coating samples).
    11.8  Inject the prescribed volume of supernatant from the 
calibration check sample, the method blank, and the sample vials 
onto the chromatographic column and record the chromatograms while 
operating the system under the specified operating conditions.

    Note: The analyst has the option of injecting the unseparated 
sample.

12. Data Analysis and Calculations

    12.1 Qualitative Analysis. An analyte (e.g., those cited in 
Section 1.1) is considered tentatively identified if two criteria 
are satisfied: (1) elution of the sample analyte within 
0.05 min of the average GC retention time of the same 
analyte in the calibration standard; and (2) either (a) confirmation 
of the identity of the compound by spectral matching on a gas 
chromatograph equipped with a mass selective detector or (b) elution 
of the sample analyte within 0.05 min of the average GC 
retention time of the same analyte in the calibration standard 
analyzed on a dissimilar GC column.
    12.1.1 The RT of the sample analyte must meet the criteria 
specified in Section 9.3.3.
    12.1.2 When doubt exists as to the identification of a peak or 
the resolution of two or more components possibly comprising one 
peak, additional confirmatory techniques (listed in Section 12.1) 
must be used.
    12.2 Quantitative Analysis. When an analyte has been identified, 
the quantification of that compound will be based on the internal 
standard technique.
    12.2.1 A single analysis consists of one injection from each of 
two sample vials (A and B) prepared using the same coating. 
Calculate the concentration of each identified analyte in the sample 
as follows:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.003

    12.2.2 Report results for duplicate analysis (sample vials A and 
B) without correction.
    12.3 Precision Data. Calculate the percent difference between 
the measured concentrations of each analyte in vials A and B as 
follows.
    12.3.1 Calculate the weight percent of the analyte in each of 
the two sample vials as described in Section 12.2.1.
    12.3.2 Calculate the percent difference for each analyte as:
    [GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.004
    
where Ai and Bi are the measured concentrations of the 
analyte in vials A and B.

[[Page 62957]]

    12.4 Calculate the percent accuracy for analytes in the QCCS 
(See Section 9.4) as follows:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.005

where Xx is the mean measured value and Tx is the known 
true value of the analyte in the QCCS.
    12.5 Obtain retention times (RT's) from data station or 
integrator or, for chromatograms from a chart recorder, calculate 
the RT's for analytes in the calibration standards (See Section 
10.2.2.2) as follows:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.006

    12.6 Calculate the response factor for the internal standard 
(See Section 10.2.2.3) as follows:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.007

where:
    Ais = Area response of the internal standard.
    Cis = Weight percent of the internal standard.
    12.7 Calculate the relative response factors for analytes in the 
calibration standards (See Section 10.2.2.3) as follows:
where:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.008

    RRFx = Relative response factor for an individual analyte.
    Ax = Area response of the analyte being measured.
    Cx = Weight percent of the analyte being measured.
    12.8 Calculate the percent relative standard deviation of the 
relative response factors for analytes in the calibration standards 
(See Section 10.2.2.4) as follows:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.009

    12.9 Calculate the percent difference in the relative response 
factors between the calibration curve and the daily calibration 
checks (See Section 10.3) as follows:
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TR07DE95.010

    16. Waste Management
    16.1 The coating samples and laboratory standards and reagents 
may contain compounds which require management as hazardous waste. 
It is the laboratory's responsibility to ensure all wastes are 
managed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
    16.2 To avoid excessive laboratory waste, obtain only enough 
sample for laboratory analysis.

[[Page 62958]]

    16.3 It is recommended that discarded waste coating solids, used 
rags, used paper towels, and other nonglass or nonsharp waste 
materials be placed in a plastic bag before disposal. A separate 
container, designated ``For Sharp Objects Only,'' is recommended for 
collection of discarded glassware and other sharp-edge items used in 
the laboratory. It is recommended that unused or excess samples and 
reagents be placed in a solvent-resistant plastic or metal container 
with a lid or cover designed for flammable liquids. This container 
should not be stored in the area where analytical work is performed. 
It is recommended that a record be kept of all compounds placed in 
the container for identification of the contents upon disposal.
