I. Definitions Add to 61.61 Homopolymer means a resin which consists of 97* or greater bound vinyl chloride. Copolymer means a resin which consists of less than 97* bound vinyl chloride. New Resin means a resin manufactured by a process not listed in 61.61 (e). Modifications in Chemical composition or processing conditions of existing products, or changes made to comply with t ie standard promulgated October 21, 1976, are specifically exempted from this definition. Hew Source , for the purpose of this Subpart, means*a source which is either a totally new facility, or an existing facility whose process and equipment has been modified substantially so as to result in a substantial increase in emissions.*Modifications made to comply with the standard promulgated October 21,\1976, are excluded from this definition. ^&*%+**
