    "Nitrocellulose lacquer (NC lacquer)" means a chemical coating containing nitrocellulose and suitable resinous modifiers . The primary mode of cure is solvent evaporation.
    "Submerged fill pipe" means any fill pipe or discharge nozzle that meets any one of the following conditions.
    (A)   The bottom of the discharge pipe or nozzle is below the surface of the liquid in the receiving vessel for at least 95 percent of the volume filled.
    (B)   The bottom of the discharge pipe or nozzle is less than 6 inches from the bottom of the receiving vessel.
    (C)   The bottom of the discharge pipe or nozzle is less than 2 pipe or nozzle diameters from the bottom of the receiving vessel.
