Other Web Resources
Common Coating Page OAQPS with assistance of the Association of Industrial Metalizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL), developed a Surface Coating website which provides links to documents and resources that could be useful to those subject to any one of the surface coating rules. The webpage includes a range of materials from presentation materials to technical guides to help users more readily find information pertaining to surface coating operations.
Example Notices and Reports
Example notification and report forms have been developed for sections 63.9 and 63.10 of part 63, Subpart A, General Provisions. You can find these example forms by going to the General Provisions rule page.
Although most standards reference sections 63.9 and 63.10 of the General Pprovisions for some or all of their notification and reporting requirements, please be aware that these General Provisions example forms are not intended to exactly match all the requirements of a specific standard. Specific standards may include or exclude General Provision requirements or can require additional information beyond Subpart A. For this reason, these example report forms developed under Subpart A should be treated as examples only and may be useful to users as a starting point for developing report forms that are facility- and MACT-specific.
Compliance and Enforcement Information
Applicability Determination Index (ADI). The ADI is maintained by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and provides a data base of memoranda dealing with applicability issues. The database is searchable by Subpart.
EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) has created several compliance assistance centers that service the coating industry, including the Paints and Coatings Resource Center (PCRC) and the National Metal Finishing Resource Center (NMFRC). New centers are added periodically. The Compliance Assistance Center main page lists all centers currently available and planned with a brief description of what type of information the center provides.
State Programs
The Environmental Council of the States. 
The website provides state delegation information for environmental programs. To view delegation information for a specific state or for a specific program, go to http://www.sso.org. To see delegation information for the Clean Air Act specifically, go to http://www.sso.org/ecos/states/statutes/caa.htm.

Coating Alternatives Guide (CAGE) CAGE is a pollution prevention tool which provides information on low-emitting alternative coating technologies to coatings users. CAGE currently addresses alternative, low-emitting coatings for metal and plastic part coating operations, but, future versions will address alternative coatings for wood, and other substrates.

Trade Associations
Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) is a not-for-profit trade association representing manufacturers of major and portable home appliances, and suppliers to the industry.
Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute. The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) is the national trade association representing manufacturers of more than 90 percent of North American produced central air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration equipment. As one of its most important functions, ARI develops and publishes technical standards for industry products. ARI standards establish rating criteria and procedures for measuring and certifying product
performance. In this way, products are rated on a uniform basis, so that buyers and users can properly make selections for specific applications. Standards are developed by individual ARI product sections and other interested parties who wish to participate, then approved by ARI's General Standards Committee. The more than 60 standards now published are mainly performance-rating standards, although some are application or terminology standards. Many ARI standards are accepted as American National Standards. ARI actively participates in developing international standards and has established a policy of adopting international standards for use in the United States, when practical and feasible. ARI is cooperating with the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and other groups to establish joint ARI/CSA rating standards and common U.S./Canadian safety standards.
