Chapter NR 465 - National emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for general surface coating processes
Subchapter III - Surface Coating of Large Appliances
Section NR 465.21 - What this subchapter covers

(a) You are subject to this subchapter if you own or operate a facility that applies coatings to large appliance parts or products, and is a major source, is located at a major source or is part of a major source of emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), except as provided in par. (d). A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 Mg (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 Mg (25 tons) or more per year. You are not subject to this subchapter if your large appliance surface coating facility is located at, or is part of, an area source of HAP emissions. An area source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that is not a major source.

(b) The large appliance surface coating source category includes any facility engaged in the surface coating of a large appliance part or product. Large appliance parts and products include cooking equipment; refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerated cabinets and cases; laundry equipment; dishwashers, trash compactors, and water heaters; and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) units, air-conditioning units except those in motor vehicles, air-conditioning and heating combination units, comfort furnaces, and electric heat pumps. Specifically excluded are heat transfer coils and large commercial and industrial chillers.

(c) The large appliance surface coating activities and equipment to which this subchapter applies are all of the following:

(d) This subchapter does not apply to any of the following:

(e) If you own or operate an affected source that is subject to this subchapter and at the same affected source you also perform surface coating subject to any other national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP), you may choose for the affected source to comply with only one NESHAP. In order to choose this alternative, the total mass of organic HAP emissions from all surface coating operations in the affected source shall be less than or equal to the total mass of organic HAP emissions that would result if it complied separately with all applicable NESHAP. You shall make this comparison for the initial compliance period and report it in the notification of compliance status as required in s. NR 465.25(1) (b) 10. and in the notification of compliance status required by the other NESHAP. If you choose this alternative, your demonstration of compliance with the other NESHAP constitutes compliance with this subchapter.

(a) This subchapter applies to each new, reconstructed and existing affected source.

(b) The affected source is the collection of all of the following items that are part of the large appliance surface coating facility:

(c) An affected source is a new affected source if its construction commenced after July 23, 2002, and the construction is of a completely new large appliance surface coating facility where previously no large appliance surface coating facility had existed.

(d) An affected source is reconstructed if you meet the criteria as defined in s. NR 460.02(32).

(e) An affected source is existing if it is not new or reconstructed.

(a) The date by which you shall comply with this subchapter is called the compliance date. The compliance date begins the initial compliance period during which you conduct the initial compliance demonstration described in ss. NR 465.26(1), 465.27(1) and 465.28(1). The compliance date for each type of affected source is as follows:

(b) You shall meet the notification requirements in s. NR 465.25(1) according to the dates specified in s. NR 465.25(1) and in ch. NR 460. Some of the notifications shall be submitted before the compliance dates described in par. (a).
