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.

--when add-on controls are employed;
--if the cumulative application is less than 5 percent of the total
gallons of coating applied; or
--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.

Tables to Subpart JJ
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

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.)

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.

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.
Conventional air spray means a spray coating method in which the
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.

[[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.

adhesive is
[[Page 62939]]
applied (or into which a coating or contact adhesive is impregnated).
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

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

(3) Methods for documenting the date and results of each inspection
and any repairs that were made;
(4) The timeframe between identifying the leak and making the
repair, which adheres, at a minimum, to the following schedule:
(i) A first attempt at repair (e.g., tightening of packing glands)
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

source shall not use compounds containing more than 8.0 percent by
weight of VOC for cleaning spray booth components other than conveyors,
continuous coaters and their enclosures, or metal filters, unless the
spray booth is being refurbished. If the spray booth is being
refurbished, that is the spray booth coating or other protective
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

(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

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).

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

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

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

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:

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.

3. Appendix A of part 63 is amended by adding Method 311 to read as
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.
