12-MONTH PERIOD, CONSECUTIVE 12-MONTH TIME PERIOD OR CONSECUTIVE 12-MONTH
PERIOD means a consecutive rolling 12-month period over which
emissions are calculated for the purpose described by the regulatory section in
which this phrase appears. A rolling 12-month period is calculated monthly
starting with the month just ended and counting back 12 months

include, but are not limited to, installation of building supports and
foundations, laying underground pipework and construction of permanent
structures.
ACTUAL EMISSIONS means the rate that
an emission unit or facility discharges air contaminants into the ambient air.
This can be calculated on a daily, weekly, monthly, ozone season, 12-month
rolling, calendar year basis or other time period as determined by the
requirements of the applicable regulation(s). Actual emissions shall be
calculated using the unit's actual operating hours, production rates, and types
of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period
including the efficiency of pollution control equipment, if present.
ADD-ON PART as used in
310 CMR
7.40, means any aftermarket part which is not

adhesion promoter on its accompanying safety data sheet.
ADHESION PROMOTER means a coating
designed to facilitate the bonding of a primer or topcoat on surfaces such as
trim moldings, door locks, and door sills, where sanding is impracticable, and
on plastic parts and the edges of sanded areas.
ADMINISTRATOR means the administrator
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or his or her designee.
AEROSOL means a system of solid or
liquid particles dispersed in a gas.
AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING AND REWORK
OPERATIONS means manufacturing, rework, repair or specialized

assembly), of an aerospace vehicle or component including, but not limited to,
any fabricated part, processed part, assembly of parts, or completed unit of
any aircraft including, but not limited to, airplanes, helicopters, missiles,
rockets, and space vehicles. In general, aerospace manufacturing and rework
facilities are covered by the SIC codes 3720, 3721, 3724, 3728, 3760, 3761,
3764, 3769, 4512, 4581 and 9711. However, facilities classified under other SIC
codes may also perform operations that meet the definition of aerospace
manufacturing and rework operations.
AFFECTED FACILITY for the purposes of
310 CMR
7.16, means any employment facility at which

emission control system sold for installation on a vehicle after the original
retail sale of the vehicle.

height).
ALTERNATIVE FUEL means any fuel
designated as such on an annual list issued by the Department, including
methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols; mixtures containing 85% or
