Rule 113. As used in these rules:
(a) "Malfunction" means any sudden, infrequent and not reasonably preventable failure of a source, process, process equipment, or air pollution control equipment to operate in a normal or usual manner. Failures that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
(b) "Market testing and market development" means the limited or general distribution of a product to the consumer to gather information concerning the demand for the product.
(c) "Material handling equipment," as referenced in table 31, means a device, contrivance, or equipment used to bag, blend, convey, crush, grind, load, mill, mix, shed, store, transfer, or unload a physical substance.
(d) "Material recovery equipment" means any equipment utilized in the transport and recovery of styrene monomer and other impurities from other products and byproducts in the manufacture of polystyrene resin by continuous process, including the styrene devolatilizer unit and styrene recovery unit.
(e) "Modify" means making a physical change in, or change in the method of operation of, existing process or process equipment which increases the amount of any air contaminant emitted into the outer air which is not already allowed to be emitted under the conditions of a permit or order or which results in the emission of any toxic air contaminant into the outer air not previously emitted. An increase in the hours of operation or an increase in the production rate up to the maximum capacity of the process or process equipment shall not be considered to be a change in the method of operation unless the process or process equipment is subject to enforceable permit conditions or enforceable orders which limit the production rate or the hours of operation, or both, to a level below the proposed increase.
(f) "Motor vehicle" means any self-propelled vehicle registered for, or requiring registration for, use on the highway.
