apply to solvent cleaning operations in the Dallas-Fort Worth and
Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, as defined in §115.10 of this
title (relating to Definitions). Residential cleaning and janitorial
cleaning are not considered solvent cleaning operations.
(b) Definitions. Unless specifically defined in the
Texas Clean Air Act (Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 382) or
in §§3.2, 101.1, or 115.10 of this title (relating to Definitions),
the terms in this division have the meanings commonly used in the
field of air pollution control. In addition, the following meanings
apply in this division unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
(1) Aerosol can--A hand-held, non-refillable container
that expels pressurized product by means of a propellant-induced force.
(2) Electrical and electronic components--Components
and assemblies of components that generate, convert, transmit, or
modify electrical energy. Electrical and electronic components include,
but are not limited to, wires, windings, stators, rotors, magnets,
contacts, relays, printed circuit boards, printed wire assemblies,
wiring boards, integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, and transistors.
Cabinets that house electrical and electronic components are not considered
electrical and electronic components.
(3) Janitorial cleaning--The cleaning of building or
building components including, but not limited to, floors, ceilings,
walls, windows, doors, stairs, bathrooms, furnishings, and exterior
surfaces of office equipment, excluding the cleaning of work areas
where manufacturing or repair activity is performed.
(4) Magnet wire--Wire used in electromagnetic field
application in electrical machinery and equipment such as transformers,
motors, generators, and magnetic tape recorders.
(5) Magnet wire coating operation--The process of applying
insulation coatings such as varnish or enamel on magnet wire where
wire is continuously drawn through a coating applicator.
(6) Medical device--An instrument, apparatus, implement,
machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar
article, including any component or accessory that is, intended for
use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure,
mitigation, treatment, or prevention of diseases; intended to affect
the structure or any function of the body; or defined in the National
Formulary or the United States Pharmacopoeia or any supplement to
it.
(7) Medical device and pharmaceutical preparation operations--Medical
devices, pharmaceutical products, and associated manufacturing and
product handling equipment and material, work surfaces, maintenance
tools, and room surfaces that are subject to the United States Federal
Drug Administration current Good Manufacturing/Laboratory Practice,
or Center for Disease Control or National Institute of Health guidelines
for biological disinfection of surfaces.
(8) Polyester resin operation--The fabrication, rework,
repair, or touch-up of composite products for commercial, military,
or industrial uses by mixing, pouring, manual application, molding,
impregnating, injecting, forming, spraying, pultrusion, filament winding,
or centrifugally casting with polyester resins.
(9) Precision optics--The optical elements used in
electro-optical devices that are designed to sense, detect, or transmit
light energy, including specific wavelengths of light energy and changes
of light energy levels.
(10) Solvent--A volatile organic compound-containing
liquid used to perform solvent cleaning operations.
(11) Solvent cleaning operation--The removal of uncured
adhesives, inks, and coatings; and contaminants such as dirt, soil,
oil, and grease from parts, products, tools, machinery, equipment,
vessels, floors, walls, and other work production-related areas using
a solvent.
(12) Volatile organic compound (VOC) composite partial
pressure--The sum of the partial pressures of the compounds that meet
the definition of VOC in §101.1 of this title (relating to Definitions).
The VOC composite partial pressure is calculated as follows.
