Primer classification as non-flat paints?

Are primers classified an non-flat paints in all circumstances? This is confusing because LEED CI 2009 specifies the VOC level for Flat Coating or Primer as 50 g/l and Non-flat Coating or Primer as 150 g/l. Any help would be appreciated!

I would assume that most primers are flats, though they don't have to be, so you'd need to check your specific primer to know for sure.
