                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1

    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, July 1, 2022), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE

    Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of 
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried. 
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date 
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected 
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to 
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult 
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to 
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published 
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.

``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY

    The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of 
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a 
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used 
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and 
not dropped in error.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as 
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that 
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after 
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please 
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and 
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, 
or call 202-741-6010.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities 
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an 
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in 
this volume.
    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.

[[Page vii]]

    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.
    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL

    There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

                      Subpart A_General Provisions

    Source: 59 FR 12430, Mar. 16, 1994, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.  63.1  Applicability.

    (a) General. (1) Terms used throughout this part are defined in 
Sec.  63.2 or in the Clean Air Act (Act) as amended in 1990, except that 
individual subparts of this part may include specific definitions in 
addition to or that supersede definitions in Sec.  63.2.
    (2) This part contains national emission standards for hazardous air 
pollutants (NESHAP) established pursuant to section 112 of the Act as 
amended November 15, 1990. These standards regulate specific categories 
of stationary sources that emit (or have the potential to emit) one or 
more hazardous air pollutants listed in this part pursuant to section 
112(b) of the Act. This section explains the applicability of such 
standards to sources affected by them. The standards in this part are 
independent of NESHAP contained in 40 CFR part 61. The NESHAP in part 61 
promulgated by signature of the Administrator before November 15, 1990 
(i.e., the date of enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990) 
remain in effect until they are amended, if appropriate, and added to 
this part.
    (3) No emission standard or other requirement established under this 
part shall be interpreted, construed, or applied to diminish or replace 
the requirements of a more stringent emission limitation or other 
applicable requirement established by the Administrator pursuant to 
other authority of the Act (section 111, part C or D or any other 
authority of this Act), or a standard issued under State authority. The 
Administrator may specify in a specific standard under this part that 
facilities subject to other provisions under the Act need only comply 
with the provisions of that standard.
    (4)(i) Each relevant standard in this part 63 must identify 
explicitly whether each provision in this subpart A is or is not 
included in such relevant standard.
    (ii) If a relevant part 63 standard incorporates the requirements of 
40 CFR part 60, part 61 or other part 63 standards, the relevant part 63 
standard must identify explicitly the applicability of each 
corresponding part 60, part 61, or other part 63 subpart A (General) 
provision.
    (iii) The General Provisions in this subpart A do not apply to 
regulations developed pursuant to section 112(r) of the amended Act, 
unless otherwise specified in those regulations.

[[Page 12]]

    (5) [Reserved]
    (6) To obtain the most current list of categories of sources to be 
regulated under section 112 of the Act, or to obtain the most recent 
regulation promulgation schedule established pursuant to section 112(e) 
of the Act, contact the Office of the Director, Emission Standards 
Division, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. EPA (MD-
13), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.
    (7)-(9) [Reserved]
    (10) For the purposes of this part, time periods specified in days 
shall be measured in calendar days, even if the word ``calendar'' is 
absent, unless otherwise specified in an applicable requirement.
    (11) For the purposes of this part, if an explicit postmark deadline 
is not specified in an applicable requirement for the submittal of a 
notification, application, test plan, report, or other written 
communication to the Administrator, the owner or operator shall postmark 
the submittal on or before the number of days specified in the 
applicable requirement. For example, if a notification must be submitted 
15 days before a particular event is scheduled to take place, the 
notification shall be postmarked on or before 15 days preceding the 
event; likewise, if a notification must be submitted 15 days after a 
particular event takes place, the notification shall be postmarked on or 
before 15 days following the end of the event. The use of reliable non-
Government mail carriers that provide indications of verifiable delivery 
of information required to be submitted to the Administrator, similar to 
the postmark provided by the U.S. Postal Service, or alternative means 
of delivery agreed to by the permitting authority, is acceptable.
    (12) Notwithstanding time periods or postmark deadlines specified in 
this part for the submittal of information to the Administrator by an 
owner or operator, or the review of such information by the 
Administrator, such time periods or deadlines may be changed by mutual 
agreement between the owner or operator and the Administrator. 
Procedures governing the implementation of this provision are specified 
in Sec.  63.9(i).
    (b) Initial applicability determination for this part. (1) The 
provisions of this part apply to the owner or operator of any stationary 
source that--
    (i) Emits or has the potential to emit any hazardous air pollutant 
listed in or pursuant to section 112(b) of the Act; and
    (ii) Is subject to any standard, limitation, prohibition, or other 
federally enforceable requirement established pursuant to this part.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (3) An owner or operator of a stationary source who is in the 
relevant source category and who determines that the source is not 
subject to a relevant standard or other requirement established under 
this part must keep a record as specified in Sec.  63.10(b)(3).
    (c) Applicability of this part after a relevant standard has been 
set under this part. (1) If a relevant standard has been established 
under this part, the owner or operator of an affected source must comply 
with the provisions of that standard and of this subpart as provided in 
paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
    (2) Except as provided in Sec.  63.10(b)(3), if a relevant standard 
has been established under this part, the owner or operator of an 
affected source may be required to obtain a title V permit from a 
permitting authority in the State in which the source is located. 
Emission standards promulgated in this part for area sources pursuant to 
section 112(c)(3) of the Act will specify whether--
    (i) States will have the option to exclude area sources affected by 
that standard from the requirement to obtain a title V permit (i.e., the 
standard will exempt the category of area sources altogether from the 
permitting requirement);
    (ii) States will have the option to defer permitting of area sources 
in that category until the Administrator takes rulemaking action to 
determine applicability of the permitting requirements; or
    (iii) If a standard fails to specify what the permitting 
requirements will be for area sources affected by such a standard, then 
area sources that are subject to the standard will be subject

[[Page 13]]

to the requirement to obtain a title V permit without any deferral.
    (3)-(4) [Reserved]
    (5) If an area source that otherwise would be subject to an emission 
standard or other requirement established under this part if it were a 
major source subsequently increases its emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants (or its potential to emit hazardous air pollutants) such that 
the source is a major source that is subject to the emission standard or 
other requirement, such source also shall be subject to the notification 
requirements of this subpart.
    (6) A major source may become an area source at any time upon 
reducing its emissions of and potential to emit hazardous air 
pollutants, as defined in this subpart, to below the major source 
thresholds established in Sec.  63.2, subject to the provisions in 
paragraphs (c)(6)(i) and (ii) of this section.
    (i) A major source reclassifying to area source status is subject to 
the applicability of standards, compliance dates and notification 
requirements specified in (c)(6)(i)(A) of this section. An area source 
that previously was a major source and becomes a major source again is 
subject to the applicability of standards, compliance dates, and 
notification requirements specified in (c)(6)(i)(B) of this section:
    (A) A major source reclassifying to area source status under this 
part remains subject to any applicable major source requirements 
established under this part until the reclassification becomes 
effective. After the reclassification becomes effective, the source is 
subject to any applicable area source requirements established under 
this part immediately, provided the compliance date for the area source 
requirements has passed. The owner or operator of a major source that 
becomes an area source subject to newly applicable area source 
requirements under this part must comply with the initial notification 
requirements pursuant to Sec.  63.9(b). The owner or operator of a major 
source that becomes an area source must also provide to the 
Administrator any change in the information already provided under Sec.  
63.9(b) per Sec.  63.9(j).
    (B) An area source that previously was a major source under this 
part and that becomes a major source again is subject to the applicable 
major source requirements established under this part immediately upon 
becoming a major source again, provided the compliance date for the 
major source requirements has passed, notwithstanding any provision 
within the applicable subparts. The owner or operator of an area source 
that becomes a major source again must comply with the initial 
notification pursuant to Sec.  63.9(b). The owner or operator must also 
provide to the Administrator any change in the information already 
provided under Sec.  63.9(b) per Sec.  63.9(j).
    (ii) Becoming an area source does not absolve a source subject to an 
enforcement action or investigation for major source violations or 
infractions from the consequences of any actions occurring when the 
source was major. Becoming a major source does not absolve a source 
subject to an enforcement action or investigation for area source 
violations or infractions from the consequences of any actions occurring 
when the source was an area source.
    (d) [Reserved]
    (e) If the Administrator promulgates an emission standard under 
section 112(d) or (h) of the Act that is applicable to a source subject 
to an emission limitation by permit established under section 112(j) of 
the Act, and the requirements under the section 112(j) emission 
limitation are substantially as effective as the promulgated emission 
standard, the owner or operator may request the permitting authority to 
revise the source's title V permit to reflect that the emission 
limitation in the permit satisfies the requirements of the promulgated 
emission standard. The process by which the permitting authority 
determines whether the section 112(j) emission limitation is 
substantially as effective as the promulgated emission standard must 
include, consistent with part 70 or 71 of this chapter, the opportunity 
for full public, EPA, and affected State review (including the 
opportunity for EPA's objection) prior to the permit revision

[[Page 14]]

being finalized. A negative determination by the permitting authority 
constitutes final action for purposes of review and appeal under the 
applicable title V operating permit program.

[59 FR 12430, Mar. 16, 1994, as amended at 67 FR 16595, Apr. 5, 2002; 85 
FR 73885, Nov. 19, 2020]



Sec.  63.2  Definitions.

    The terms used in this part are defined in the Act or in this 
section as follows:
    Act means the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., as amended by 
Pub. L. 101-549, 104 Stat. 2399).
    Actual emissions is defined in subpart D of this part for the 
purpose of granting a compliance extension for an early reduction of 
hazardous air pollutants.
    Administrator means the Administrator of the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency or his or her authorized representative 
(e.g., a State that has been delegated the authority to implement the 
provisions of this part).
    Affected source, for the purposes of this part, means the collection 
of equipment, activities, or both within a single contiguous area and 
under common control that is included in a section 112(c) source 
category or subcategory for which a section 112(d) standard or other 
relevant standard is established pursuant to section 112 of the Act. 
Each relevant standard will define the ``affected source,'' as defined 
in this paragraph unless a different definition is warranted based on a 
published justification as to why this definition would result in 
significant administrative, practical, or implementation problems and 
why the different definition would resolve those problems. The term 
``affected source,'' as used in this part, is separate and distinct from 
any other use of that term in EPA regulations such as those implementing 
title IV of the Act. Affected source may be defined differently for part 
63 than affected facility and stationary source in parts 60 and 61, 
respectively. This definition of ``affected source,'' and the procedures 
for adopting an alternative definition of ``affected source,'' shall 
apply to each section 112(d) standard for which the initial proposed 
rule is signed by the Administrator after June 30, 2002.
    Alternative emission limitation means conditions established 
pursuant to sections 112(i)(5) or 112(i)(6) of the Act by the 
Administrator or by a State with an approved permit program.
    Alternative emission standard means an alternative means of emission 
limitation that, after notice and opportunity for public comment, has 
been demonstrated by an owner or operator to the Administrator's 
satisfaction to achieve a reduction in emissions of any air pollutant at 
least equivalent to the reduction in emissions of such pollutant 
achieved under a relevant design, equipment, work practice, or 
operational emission standard, or combination thereof, established under 
this part pursuant to section 112(h) of the Act.
    Alternative test method means any method of sampling and analyzing 
for an air pollutant that has been demonstrated to the Administrator's 
satisfaction, using Method 301 in appendix A of this part, to produce 
results adequate for the Administrator's determination that it may be 
used in place of a test method specified in this part.
    Approved permit program means a State permit program approved by the 
Administrator as meeting the requirements of part 70 of this chapter or 
a Federal permit program established in this chapter pursuant to title V 
of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7661).
    Area source means any stationary source of hazardous air pollutants 
that is not a major source as defined in this part.
    Commenced means, with respect to construction or reconstruction of 
an affected source, that an owner or operator has undertaken a 
continuous program of construction or reconstruction or that an owner or 
operator has entered into a contractual obligation to undertake and 
complete, within a reasonable time, a continuous program of construction 
or reconstruction.
    Compliance date means the date by which an affected source is 
required to be in compliance with a relevant standard, limitation, 
prohibition, or any federally enforceable requirement established by the 
Administrator (or a State

[[Page 15]]

with an approved permit program) pursuant to section 112 of the Act.
    Compliance schedule means: (1) In the case of an affected source 
that is in compliance with all applicable requirements established under 
this part, a statement that the source will continue to comply with such 
requirements; or
    (2) In the case of an affected source that is required to comply 
with applicable requirements by a future date, a statement that the 
source will meet such requirements on a timely basis and, if required by 
an applicable requirement, a detailed schedule of the dates by which 
each step toward compliance will be reached; or
    (3) In the case of an affected source not in compliance with all 
applicable requirements established under this part, a schedule of 
remedial measures, including an enforceable sequence of actions or 
operations with milestones and a schedule for the submission of 
certified progress reports, where applicable, leading to compliance with 
a relevant standard, limitation, prohibition, or any federally 
enforceable requirement established pursuant to section 112 of the Act 
for which the affected source is not in compliance. This compliance 
schedule shall resemble and be at least as stringent as that contained 
in any judicial consent decree or administrative order to which the 
source is subject. Any such schedule of compliance shall be supplemental 
to, and shall not sanction noncompliance with, the applicable 
requirements on which it is based.
    Construction means the on-site fabrication, erection, or 
installation of an affected source. Construction does not include the 
removal of all equipment comprising an affected source from an existing 
location and reinstallation of such equipment at a new location. The 
owner or operator of an existing affected source that is relocated may 
elect not to reinstall minor ancillary equipment including, but not 
limited to, piping, ductwork, and valves. However, removal and 
reinstallation of an affected source will be construed as reconstruction 
if it satisfies the criteria for reconstruction as defined in this 
section. The costs of replacing minor ancillary equipment must be 
considered in determining whether the existing affected source is 
reconstructed.
    Continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) means the total 
equipment that may be required to meet the data acquisition and 
availability requirements of this part, used to sample, condition (if 
applicable), analyze, and provide a record of emissions.
    Continuous monitoring system (CMS) is a comprehensive term that may 
include, but is not limited to, continuous emission monitoring systems, 
continuous opacity monitoring systems, continuous parameter monitoring 
systems, or other manual or automatic monitoring that is used for 
demonstrating compliance with an applicable regulation on a continuous 
basis as defined by the regulation.
    Continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) means a continuous 
monitoring system that measures the opacity of emissions.
    Continuous parameter monitoring system means the total equipment 
that may be required to meet the data acquisition and availability 
requirements of this part, used to sample, condition (if applicable), 
analyze, and provide a record of process or control system parameters.
    Effective date means:
    (1) With regard to an emission standard established under this part, 
the date of promulgation in the Federal Register of such standard; or
    (2) With regard to an alternative emission limitation or equivalent 
emission limitation determined by the Administrator (or a State with an 
approved permit program), the date that the alternative emission 
limitation or equivalent emission limitation becomes effective according 
to the provisions of this part.
    Emission standard means a national standard, limitation, 
prohibition, or other regulation promulgated in a subpart of this part 
pursuant to sections 112(d), 112(h), or 112(f) of the Act.
    Emissions averaging is a way to comply with the emission limitations 
specified in a relevant standard, whereby an affected source, if allowed 
under a subpart of this part, may create emission credits by reducing 
emissions from specific points to a level below that required by the 
relevant standard, and

[[Page 16]]

those credits are used to offset emissions from points that are not 
controlled to the level required by the relevant standard.
    EPA means the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
    Equivalent emission limitation means any maximum achievable control 
technology emission limitation or requirements which are applicable to a 
major source of hazardous air pollutants and are adopted by the 
Administrator (or a State with an approved permit program) on a case-by-
case basis, pursuant to section 112(g) or (j) of the Act.
    Excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance report 
is a report that must be submitted periodically by an affected source in 
order to provide data on its compliance with relevant emission limits, 
operating parameters, and the performance of its continuous parameter 
monitoring systems.
    Existing source means any affected source that is not a new source.
    Federally enforceable means all limitations and conditions that are 
enforceable by the Administrator and citizens under the Act or that are 
enforceable under other statutes administered by the Administrator. 
Examples of federally enforceable limitations and conditions include, 
but are not limited to:
    (1) Emission standards, alternative emission standards, alternative 
emission limitations, and equivalent emission limitations established 
pursuant to section 112 of the Act as amended in 1990;
    (2) New source performance standards established pursuant to section 
111 of the Act, and emission standards established pursuant to section 
112 of the Act before it was amended in 1990;
    (3) All terms and conditions in a title V permit, including any 
provisions that limit a source's potential to emit, unless expressly 
designated as not federally enforceable;
    (4) Limitations and conditions that are part of an approved State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) or a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP);
    (5) Limitations and conditions that are part of a Federal 
construction permit issued under 40 CFR 52.21 or any construction permit 
issued under regulations approved by the EPA in accordance with 40 CFR 
part 51;
    (6) Limitations and conditions that are part of an operating permit 
where the permit and the permitting program pursuant to which it was 
issued meet all of the following criteria:
    (i) The operating permit program has been submitted to and approved 
by EPA into a State implementation plan (SIP) under section 110 of the 
CAA;
    (ii) The SIP imposes a legal obligation that operating permit 
holders adhere to the terms and limitations of such permits and provides 
that permits which do not conform to the operating permit program 
requirements and the requirements of EPA's underlying regulations may be 
deemed not ``federally enforceable'' by EPA;
    (iii) The operating permit program requires that all emission 
limitations, controls, and other requirements imposed by such permits 
will be at least as stringent as any other applicable limitations and 
requirements contained in the SIP or enforceable under the SIP, and that 
the program may not issue permits that waive, or make less stringent, 
any limitations or requirements contained in or issued pursuant to the 
SIP, or that are otherwise ``federally enforceable'';
    (iv) The limitations, controls, and requirements in the permit in 
question are permanent, quantifiable, and otherwise enforceable as a 
practical matter; and
    (v) The permit in question was issued only after adequate and timely 
notice and opportunity for comment for EPA and the public.
    (7) Limitations and conditions in a State rule or program that has 
been approved by the EPA under subpart E of this part for the purposes 
of implementing and enforcing section 112; and
    (8) Individual consent agreements that the EPA has legal authority 
to create.
    Fixed capital cost means the capital needed to provide all the 
depreciable components of an existing source.
    Force majeure means, for purposes of Sec.  63.7, an event that will 
be or has been caused by circumstances beyond the control of the 
affected facility, its contractors, or any entity controlled by the 
affected facility that prevents the

[[Page 17]]

owner or operator from complying with the regulatory requirement to 
conduct performance tests within the specified timeframe despite the 
affected facility's best efforts to fulfill the obligation. Examples of 
such events are acts of nature, acts of war or terrorism, or equipment 
failure or safety hazard beyond the control of the affected facility.
    Fugitive emissions means those emissions from a stationary source 
that could not reasonably pass through a stack, chimney, vent, or other 
functionally equivalent opening. Under section 112 of the Act, all 
fugitive emissions are to be considered in determining whether a 
stationary source is a major source.
    Hazardous air pollutant means any air pollutant listed in or 
pursuant to section 112(b) of the Act.
    Issuance of a part 70 permit will occur, if the State is the 
permitting authority, in accordance with the requirements of part 70 of 
this chapter and the applicable, approved State permit program. When the 
EPA is the permitting authority, issuance of a title V permit occurs 
immediately after the EPA takes final action on the final permit.
    Major source means any stationary source or group of stationary 
sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that 
emits or has the potential to emit considering controls, in the 
aggregate, 10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 
tons per year or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants, 
unless the Administrator establishes a lesser quantity, or in the case 
of radionuclides, different criteria from those specified in this 
sentence.
    Malfunction means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably 
preventable failure of air pollution control and monitoring equipment, 
process equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner 
which causes, or has the potential to cause, the emission limitations in 
an applicable standard to be exceeded. Failures that are caused in part 
by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
    Monitoring means the collection and use of measurement data or other 
information to control the operation of a process or pollution control 
device or to verify a work practice standard relative to assuring 
compliance with applicable requirements. Monitoring is composed of four 
elements:
    (1) Indicator(s) of performance--the parameter or parameters you 
measure or observe for demonstrating proper operation of the pollution 
control measures or compliance with the applicable emissions limitation 
or standard. Indicators of performance may include direct or predicted 
emissions measurements (including opacity), operational parametric 
values that correspond to process or control device (and capture system) 
efficiencies or emissions rates, and recorded findings of inspection of 
work practice activities, materials tracking, or design characteristics. 
Indicators may be expressed as a single maximum or minimum value, a 
function of process variables (for example, within a range of pressure 
drops), a particular operational or work practice status (for example, a 
damper position, completion of a waste recovery task, materials 
tracking), or an interdependency between two or among more than two 
variables.
    (2) Measurement techniques--the means by which you gather and record 
information of or about the indicators of performance. The components of 
the measurement technique include the detector type, location and 
installation specifications, inspection procedures, and quality 
assurance and quality control measures. Examples of measurement 
techniques include continuous emission monitoring systems, continuous 
opacity monitoring systems, continuous parametric monitoring systems, 
and manual inspections that include making records of process conditions 
or work practices.
    (3) Monitoring frequency--the number of times you obtain and record 
monitoring data over a specified time interval. Examples of monitoring 
frequencies include at least four points equally spaced for each hour 
for continuous emissions or parametric monitoring systems, at least 
every 10 seconds for continuous opacity monitoring systems, and at least 
once per operating day (or week, month, etc.) for work practice or 
design inspections.

[[Page 18]]

    (4) Averaging time--the period over which you average and use data 
to verify proper operation of the pollution control approach or 
compliance with the emissions limitation or standard. Examples of 
averaging time include a 3-hour average in units of the emissions 
limitation, a 30-day rolling average emissions value, a daily average of 
a control device operational parametric range, and an instantaneous 
alarm.
    New affected source means the collection of equipment, activities, 
or both within a single contiguous area and under common control that is 
included in a section 112(c) source category or subcategory that is 
subject to a section 112(d) or other relevant standard for new sources. 
This definition of ``new affected source,'' and the criteria to be 
utilized in implementing it, shall apply to each section 112(d) standard 
for which the initial proposed rule is signed by the Administrator after 
June 30, 2002. Each relevant standard will define the term ``new 
affected source,'' which will be the same as the ``affected source'' 
unless a different collection is warranted based on consideration of 
factors including:
    (1) Emission reduction impacts of controlling individual sources 
versus groups of sources;
    (2) Cost effectiveness of controlling individual equipment;
    (3) Flexibility to accommodate common control strategies;
    (4) Cost/benefits of emissions averaging;
    (5) Incentives for pollution prevention;
    (6) Feasibility and cost of controlling processes that share common 
equipment (e.g., product recovery devices);
    (7) Feasibility and cost of monitoring; and
    (8) Other relevant factors.
    New source means any affected source the construction or 
reconstruction of which is commenced after the Administrator first 
proposes a relevant emission standard under this part establishing an 
emission standard applicable to such source.
    One-hour period, unless otherwise defined in an applicable subpart, 
means any 60-minute period commencing on the hour.
    Opacity means the degree to which emissions reduce the transmission 
of light and obscure the view of an object in the background. For 
continuous opacity monitoring systems, opacity means the fraction of 
incident light that is attenuated by an optical medium.
    Owner or operator means any person who owns, leases, operates, 
controls, or supervises a stationary source.
    Performance audit means a procedure to analyze blind samples, the 
content of which is known by the Administrator, simultaneously with the 
analysis of performance test samples in order to provide a measure of 
test data quality.
    Performance evaluation means the conduct of relative accuracy 
testing, calibration error testing, and other measurements used in 
validating the continuous monitoring system data.
    Performance test means the collection of data resulting from the 
execution of a test method (usually three emission test runs) used to 
demonstrate compliance with a relevant emission standard as specified in 
the performance test section of the relevant standard.
    Permit modification means a change to a title V permit as defined in 
regulations codified in this chapter to implement title V of the Act (42 
U.S.C. 7661).
    Permit program means a comprehensive State operating permit system 
established pursuant to title V of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7661) and 
regulations codified in part 70 of this chapter and applicable State 
regulations, or a comprehensive Federal operating permit system 
established pursuant to title V of the Act and regulations codified in 
this chapter.
    Permit revision means any permit modification or administrative 
permit amendment to a title V permit as defined in regulations codified 
in this chapter to implement title V of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7661).
    Permitting authority means: (1) The State air pollution control 
agency, local agency, other State agency, or other agency authorized by 
the Administrator to carry out a permit program under part 70 of this 
chapter; or
    (2) The Administrator, in the case of EPA-implemented permit 
programs under title V of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7661).

[[Page 19]]

    Pollution Prevention means source reduction as defined under the 
Pollution Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 13101-13109). The definition is as 
follows:
    (1) Source reduction is any practice that:
    (i) Reduces the amount of any hazardous substance, pollutant, or 
contaminant entering any waste stream or otherwise released into the 
environment (including fugitive emissions) prior to recycling, 
treatment, or disposal; and
    (ii) Reduces the hazards to public health and the environment 
associated with the release of such substances, pollutants, or 
contaminants.
    (2) The term source reduction includes equipment or technology 
modifications, process or procedure modifications, reformulation or 
redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and improvements in 
housekeeping, maintenance, training, or inventory control.
    (3) The term source reduction does not include any practice that 
alters the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics or the 
volume of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant through a 
process or activity which itself is not integral to and necessary for 
the production of a product or the providing of a service.
    Potential to emit means the maximum capacity of a stationary source 
to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any 
physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the stationary 
source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment 
and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of 
material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of 
its design if the limitation or the effect it would have on emissions is 
enforceable.
    Reconstruction, unless otherwise defined in a relevant standard, 
means the replacement of components of an affected or a previously 
nonaffected source to such an extent that:
    (1) The fixed capital cost of the new components exceeds 50 percent 
of the fixed capital cost that would be required to construct a 
comparable new source; and
    (2) It is technologically and economically feasible for the 
reconstructed source to meet the relevant standard(s) established by the 
Administrator (or a State) pursuant to section 112 of the Act. Upon 
reconstruction, an affected source, or a stationary source that becomes 
an affected source, is subject to relevant standards for new sources, 
including compliance dates, irrespective of any change in emissions of 
hazardous air pollutants from that source.
    Regulation promulgation schedule means the schedule for the 
promulgation of emission standards under this part, established by the 
Administrator pursuant to section 112(e) of the Act and published in the 
Federal Register.
    Relevant standard means:
    (1) An emission standard;
    (2) An alternative emission standard;
    (3) An alternative emission limitation; or
    (4) An equivalent emission limitation established pursuant to 
section 112 of the Act that applies to the collection of equipment, 
activities, or both regulated by such standard or limitation. A relevant 
standard may include or consist of a design, equipment, work practice, 
or operational requirement, or other measure, process, method, system, 
or technique (including prohibition of emissions) that the Administrator 
(or a State) establishes for new or existing sources to which such 
standard or limitation applies. Every relevant standard established 
pursuant to section 112 of the Act includes subpart A of this part, as 
provided by Sec.  63.1(a)(4), and all applicable appendices of this part 
or of other parts of this chapter that are referenced in that standard.
    Responsible official means one of the following:
    (1) For a corporation: A president, secretary, treasurer, or vice 
president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, 
or any other person who performs similar policy or decision-making 
functions for the corporation, or a duly authorized representative of 
such person if the representative is responsible for the overall 
operation of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating 
facilities and either:
    (i) The facilities employ more than 250 persons or have gross annual 
sales

[[Page 20]]

or expenditures exceeding $25 million (in second quarter 1980 dollars); 
or
    (ii) The delegation of authority to such representative is approved 
in advance by the Administrator.
    (2) For a partnership or sole proprietorship: a general partner or 
the proprietor, respectively.
    (3) For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency: 
either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For 
the purposes of this part, a principal executive officer of a Federal 
agency includes the chief executive officer having responsibility for 
the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency 
(e.g., a Regional Administrator of the EPA).
    (4) For affected sources (as defined in this part) applying for or 
subject to a title V permit: ``responsible official'' shall have the 
same meaning as defined in part 70 or Federal title V regulations in 
this chapter (42 U.S.C. 7661), whichever is applicable.
    Run means one of a series of emission or other measurements needed 
to determine emissions for a representative operating period or cycle as 
specified in this part.
    Shutdown means the cessation of operation of an affected source or 
portion of an affected source for any purpose.
    Six-minute period means, with respect to opacity determinations, any 
one of the 10 equal parts of a 1-hour period.
    Source at a Performance Track member facility means a major or area 
source located at a facility which has been accepted by EPA for 
membership in the Performance Track Program (as described at 
www.epa.gov/PerformanceTrack) and is still a member of the Program. The 
Performance Track Program is a voluntary program that encourages 
continuous environmental improvement through the use of environmental 
management systems, local community outreach, and measurable results.
    Standard conditions means a temperature of 293 K (68 [deg]F) and a 
pressure of 101.3 kilopascals (29.92 in. Hg).
    Startup means the setting in operation of an affected source or 
portion of an affected source for any purpose.
    State means all non-Federal authorities, including local agencies, 
interstate associations, and State-wide programs, that have delegated 
authority to implement: (1) The provisions of this part and/or (2) the 
permit program established under part 70 of this chapter. The term State 
shall have its conventional meaning where clear from the context.
    Stationary source means any building, structure, facility, or 
installation which emits or may emit any air pollutant.
    Test method means the validated procedure for sampling, preparing, 
and analyzing for an air pollutant specified in a relevant standard as 
the performance test procedure. The test method may include methods 
described in an appendix of this chapter, test methods incorporated by 
reference in this part, or methods validated for an application through 
procedures in Method 301 of appendix A of this part.
    Title V permit means any permit issued, renewed, or revised pursuant 
to Federal or State regulations established to implement title V of the 
Act (42 U.S.C. 7661). A title V permit issued by a State permitting 
authority is called a part 70 permit in this part.
    Visible emission means the observation of an emission of opacity or 
optical density above the threshold of vision.
    Working day means any day on which Federal Government offices (or

Sec.  63.4  Prohibited activities and circumvention.

    (a) Prohibited activities. (1) No owner or operator subject to the 
provisions of this part must operate any affected source in violation of 
the requirements of this part. Affected sources subject to and in 
compliance with either an extension of compliance or an exemption from 
compliance are not in violation of the requirements of this part. An 
extension of compliance can be granted by the Administrator under this 
part; by a State with an approved permit program; or by the President 
under section 112(i)(4) of the Act.
    (2) No owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part 
shall fail to keep records, notify, report, or revise reports as 
required under this part.
    (3)-(5) [Reserved]
    (b) Circumvention. No owner or operator subject to the provisions of 
this part shall build, erect, install, or use any article, machine, 
equipment, or process to conceal an emission that would otherwise 
constitute noncompliance with a relevant standard. Such concealment 
includes, but is not limited to--
    (1) The use of diluents to achieve compliance with a relevant 
standard based on the concentration of a pollutant in the effluent 
discharged to the atmosphere;
    (2) The use of gaseous diluents to achieve compliance with a 
relevant standard for visible emissions; and
    (c) Fragmentation. Fragmentation after November 15, 1990 which 
divides ownership of an operation, within the same facility among 
various owners

[[Page 22]]

where there is no real change in control, will not affect applicability. 
The owner and operator must not use fragmentation or phasing of 
reconstruction activities (i.e., intentionally dividing reconstruction 
into multiple parts for purposes of avoiding new source requirements) to 
avoid becoming subject to new source requirements.

Sec.  63.5  Preconstruction review and notification requirements.

    (a) Applicability. (1) This section implements the preconstruction 
review requirements of section 112(i)(1). After the effective date of a 
relevant standard, promulgated pursuant to section 112(d), (f), or (h) 
of the Act, under this part, the preconstruction review requirements in 
this section apply to the owner or operator of new affected sources and 
reconstructed affected sources that are major-emitting as specified in 
this section. New and reconstructed affected sources that commence 
construction or reconstruction before the effective date of a relevant 
standard are not subject to the preconstruction review requirements 
specified in paragraphs (b)(3), (d), and (e) of this section.
    (2) This section includes notification requirements for new affected 
sources and reconstructed affected sources that are not major-emitting 
affected sources and that are or become subject to a relevant 
promulgated emission standard after the effective date of a relevant 
standard promulgated under this part.
    (b) Requirements for existing, newly constructed, and reconstructed 
sources. (1) A new affected source for which construction commences 
after proposal of a relevant standard is subject to relevant standards 
for new affected sources, including compliance dates. An affected source 
for which reconstruction commences after proposal of a relevant standard 
is subject to relevant standards for new sources, including compliance 
dates, irrespective of any change in emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants from that source.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (3) After the effective date of any relevant standard promulgated by 
the Administrator under this part, no person may, without obtaining 
written approval in advance from the Administrator in accordance with 
the procedures specified in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section, do 
any of the following:
    (i) Construct a new affected source that is major-emitting and 
subject to such standard;
    (ii) Reconstruct an affected source that is major-emitting and 
subject to such standard; or
    (iii) Reconstruct a major source such that the source becomes an 
affected source that is major-emitting and subject to the standard.
    (4) After the effective date of any relevant standard promulgated by 
the Administrator under this part, an owner or operator who constructs a 
new affected source that is not major-emitting or reconstructs an 
affected source that is not major-emitting that is subject to such 
standard, or reconstructs a source such that the source becomes an 
affected source subject to the standard, must notify the Administrator 
of the intended construction or reconstruction. The notification must be 
submitted in accordance with the procedures in Sec.  63.9(b).
    (5) [Reserved]
    (6) After the effective date of any relevant standard promulgated by 
the Administrator under this part, equipment added (or a process change) 
to an affected source that is within the scope of the definition of 
affected source under the relevant standard must be considered part of 
the affected source and subject to all provisions of the relevant 
standard established for that affected source.
    (c) [Reserved]
    (d) Application for approval of construction or reconstruction. The 
provisions of this paragraph implement section 112(i)(1) of the Act.
    (1) General application requirements. (i) An owner or operator who 
is subject to the requirements of paragraph (b)(3) of this section must 
submit to the Administrator an application for approval of the 
construction or reconstruction. The application must be submitted as 
soon as practicable before actual construction or reconstruction begins. 
The

[[Page 23]]

application for approval of construction or reconstruction may be used 
to fulfill the initial notification requirements of Sec.  63.9(b)(5). 
The owner or operator may submit the application for approval well in 
advance of the date actual construction or reconstruction begins in 
order to ensure a timely review by the Administrator and that the 
planned date to begin will not be delayed.
    (ii) A separate application shall be submitted for each construction 
or reconstruction. Each application for approval of construction or 
reconstruction shall include at a minimum:
    (A) The applicant's name and address;
    (B) A notification of intention to construct a new major affected 
source or make any physical or operational change to a major affected 
source that may meet or has been determined to meet the criteria for a 
reconstruction, as defined in Sec.  63.2 or in the relevant standard;
    (C) The address (i.e., physical location) or proposed address of the 
source;
    (D) An identification of the relevant standard that is the basis of 
the application;
    (E) The expected date of the beginning of actual construction or 
reconstruction;
    (F) The expected completion date of the construction or 
reconstruction;
    (G) [Reserved]
    (H) The type and quantity of hazardous air pollutants emitted by the 
source, reported in units and averaging times and in accordance with the 
test methods specified in the relevant standard, or if actual emissions 
data are not yet available, an estimate of the type and quantity of 
hazardous air pollutants expected to be emitted by the source reported 
in units and averaging times specified in the relevant standard. The 
owner or operator may submit percent reduction information if a relevant 
standard is established in terms of percent reduction. However, 
operating parameters, such as flow rate, shall be included in the 
submission to the extent that they demonstrate performance and 
compliance; and
    (I) [Reserved]
    (J) Other information as specified in paragraphs (d)(2) and (d)(3) 
of this section.
    (iii) An owner or operator who submits estimates or preliminary 
information in place of the actual emissions data and analysis required 
in paragraphs (d)(1)(ii)(H) and (d)(2) of this section shall submit the 
actual, measured emissions data and other correct information as soon as 
available but no later than with the notification of compliance status 
required in Sec.  63.9(h) (see Sec.  63.9(h)(5)).
    (2) Application for approval of construction. Each application for 
approval of construction must include, in addition to the information 
required in paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of this section, technical information 
describing the proposed nature, size, design, operating design capacity, 
and method of operation of the source, including an identification of 
each type of emission point for each type of hazardous air pollutant 
that is emitted (or could reasonably be anticipated to be emitted) and a 
description of the planned air pollution control system (equipment or 
method) for each emission point. The description of the equipment to be 
used for the control of emissions must include each control device for 
each hazardous air pollutant and the estimated control efficiency 
(percent) for each control device. The description of the method to be 
used for the control of emissions must include an estimated control 
efficiency (percent) for that method. Such technical information must 
include calculations of emission estimates in sufficient detail to 
permit assessment of the validity of the calculations.
    (3) Application for approval of reconstruction. Each application for 
approval of reconstruction shall include, in addition to the information 
required in paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of this section--
    (i) A brief description of the affected source and the components 
that are to be replaced;
    (ii) A description of present and proposed emission control systems 
(i.e., equipment or methods). The description of the equipment to be 
used for the control of emissions shall include each control device for 
each hazardous air pollutant and the estimated control

[[Page 24]]

efficiency (percent) for each control device. The description of the 
method to be used for the control of emissions shall include an 
estimated control efficiency (percent) for that method. Such technical 
information shall include calculations of emission estimates in 
sufficient detail to permit assessment of the validity of the 
calculations;
    (iii) An estimate of the fixed capital cost of the replacements and 
of constructing a comparable entirely new source;
    (iv) The estimated life of the affected source after the 
replacements; and
    (v) A discussion of any economic or technical limitations the source 
may have in complying with relevant standards or other requirements 
after the proposed replacements. The discussion shall be sufficiently 
detailed to demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that the 
technical or economic limitations affect the source's ability to comply 
with the relevant standard and how they do so.
    (vi) If in the application for approval of reconstruction the owner 
or operator designates the affected source as a reconstructed source and 
declares that there are no economic or technical limitations to prevent 
the source from complying with all relevant standards or other 
requirements, the owner or operator need not submit the information 
required in paragraphs (d)(3)(iii) through (d)(3)(v) of this section.
    (4) Additional information. The Administrator may request additional 
relevant information after the submittal of an application for approval 
of construction or reconstruction.
    (e) Approval of construction or reconstruction. (1)(i) If the 
Administrator determines that, if properly constructed, or 
reconstructed, and operated, a new or existing source for which an 
application under paragraph (d) of this section was submitted will not 
cause emissions in violation of the relevant standard(s) and any other 
federally enforceable requirements, the Administrator will approve the 
construction or reconstruction.
    (ii) In addition, in the case of reconstruction, the Administrator's 
determination under this paragraph will be based on:
    (A) The fixed capital cost of the replacements in comparison to the 
fixed capital cost that would be required to construct a comparable 
entirely new source;
    (B) The estimated life of the source after the replacements compared 
to the life of a comparable entirely new source;
    (C) The extent to which the components being replaced cause or 
contribute to the emissions from the source; and
    (D) Any economic or technical limitations on compliance with 
relevant standards that are inherent in the proposed replacements.
    (2)(i) The Administrator will notify the owner or operator in 
writing of approval or intention to deny approval of construction or 
reconstruction within 60 calendar days after receipt of sufficient 
information to evaluate an application submitted under paragraph (d) of 
this section. The 60-day approval or denial period will begin after the 
owner or operator has been notified in writing that his/her application 
is complete. The Administrator will notify the owner or operator in 
writing of the status of his/her application, that is, whether the 
application contains sufficient information to make a determination, 
within 30 calendar days after receipt of the original application and 
within 30 calendar days after receipt of any supplementary information 
that is submitted.
    (ii) When notifying the owner or operator that his/her application 
is not complete, the Administrator will specify the information needed 
to complete the application and provide notice of opportunity for the 
applicant to present, in writing, within 30 calendar days after he/she 
is notified of the incomplete application, additional information or 
arguments to the Administrator to enable further action on the 
application.
    (3) Before denying any application for approval of construction or 
reconstruction, the Administrator will notify the applicant of the 
Administrator's intention to issue the denial together with--
    (i) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended 
denial is based; and

[[Page 25]]

    (ii) Notice of opportunity for the applicant to present, in writing, 
within 30 calendar days after he/she is notified of the intended denial, 
additional information or arguments to the Administrator to enable 
further action on the application.
    (4) A final determination to deny any application for approval will 
be in writing and will specify the grounds on which the denial is based. 
The final determination will be made within 60 calendar days of 
presentation of additional information or arguments (if the application 
is complete), or within 60 calendar days after the final date specified 
for presentation if no presentation is made.
    (5) Neither the submission of an application for approval nor the 
Administrator's approval of construction or reconstruction shall--
    (i) Relieve an owner or operator of legal responsibility for 
compliance with any applicable provisions of this part or with any other 
applicable Federal, State, or local requirement; or
    (ii) Prevent the Administrator from implementing or enforcing this 
part or taking any other action under the Act.
    (f) Approval of construction or reconstruction based on prior State 
preconstruction review. (1) Preconstruction review procedures that a 
State utilizes for other purposes may also be utilized for purposes of 
this section if the procedures are substantially equivalent to those 
specified in this section. The Administrator will approve an application 
for construction or reconstruction specified in paragraphs (b)(3) and 
(d) of this section if the owner or operator of a new affected source or 
reconstructed affected source, who is subject to such requirement meets 
the following conditions:
    (i) The owner or operator of the new affected source or 
reconstructed affected source has undergone a preconstruction review and 
approval process in the State in which the source is (or would be) 
located and has received a federally enforceable construction permit 
that contains a finding that the source will meet the relevant 
promulgated emission standard, if the source is properly built and 
operated.
    (ii) Provide a statement from the State or other evidence (such as 
State regulations) that it considered the factors specified in paragraph 
(e)(1) of this section.
    (2) The owner or operator must submit to the Administrator the 
request for approval of construction or reconstruction under this 
paragraph (f)(2) no later than the application deadline specified in 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section (see also Sec.  63.9(b)(2)). The owner 
or operator must include in the request information sufficient for the 
Administrator's determination. The Administrator will evaluate the owner 
or operator's request in accordance with the procedures specified in 
paragraph (e) of this section. The Administrator may request additional 
relevant information after the submittal of a request for approval of 
construction or reconstruction under this paragraph (f)(2).

Sec.  63.6  Compliance with standards and maintenance requirements.

    (a) Applicability. (1) The requirements in this section apply to the 
owner or operator of affected sources for which any relevant standard 
has been established pursuant to section 112 of the Act and the 
applicability of such requirements is set out in accordance with Sec.  
63.1(a)(4) unless--
    (i) The Administrator (or a State with an approved permit program) 
has granted an extension of compliance consistent with paragraph (i) of 
this section; or
    (ii) The President has granted an exemption from compliance with any 
relevant standard in accordance with section 112(i)(4) of the Act.
    (2) If an area source that otherwise would be subject to an emission 
standard or other requirement established under this part if it were a 
major source subsequently increases its emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants (or its potential to emit hazardous air pollutants) such that 
the source is a major source, such source shall be subject to the 
relevant emission standard or other requirement.
    (b) Compliance dates for new and reconstructed sources. (1) Except 
as specified in paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this

[[Page 26]]

section, the owner or operator of a new or reconstructed affected source 
for which construction or reconstruction commences after proposal of a 
relevant standard that has an initial startup before the effective date 
of a relevant standard established under this part pursuant to section 
112(d), (f), or (h) of the Act must comply with such standard not later 
than the standard's effective date.
    (2) Except as specified in paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this 
section, the owner or operator of a new or reconstructed affected source 
that has an initial startup after the effective date of a relevant 
standard established under this part pursuant to section 112(d), (f), or 
(h) of the Act must comply with such standard upon startup of the 
source.
    (3) The owner or operator of an affected source for which 
construction or reconstruction is commenced after the proposal date of a 
relevant standard established under this part pursuant to section 
112(d), 112(f), or 112(h) of the Act but before the effective date (that 
is, promulgation) of such standard shall comply with the relevant 
emission standard not later than the date 3 years after the effective 
date if:
    (i) The promulgated standard (that is, the relevant standard) is 
more stringent than the proposed standard; for purposes of this 
paragraph, a finding that controls or compliance methods are ``more 
stringent'' must include control technologies or performance criteria 
and compliance or compliance assurance methods that are different but 
are substantially equivalent to those required by the promulgated rule, 
as determined by the Administrator (or his or her authorized 
representative); and
    (ii) The owner or operator complies with the standard as proposed 
during the 3-year period immediately after the effective date.
    (4) The owner or operator of an affected source for which 
construction or reconstruction is commenced after the proposal date of a 
relevant standard established pursuant to section 112(d) of the Act but 
before the proposal date of a relevant standard established pursuant to 
section 112(f) shall not be required to comply with the section 112(f) 
emission standard until the date 10 years after the date construction or 
reconstruction is commenced, except that, if the section 112(f) standard 
is promulgated more than 10 years after construction or reconstruction 
is commenced, the owner or operator must comply with the standard as 
provided in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section.
    (5) The owner or operator of a new source that is subject to the 
compliance requirements of paragraph (b)(3) or (4) of this section must 
notify the Administrator in accordance with Sec.  63.9(d)
    (6) [Reserved]
    (7) When an area source increases its emissions of (or its potential 
to emit) hazardous air pollutants such that the source becomes a major 
source, the portion of the facility that meets the definition of a new 
affected source must comply with all requirements of that standard 
applicable to new sources. The source owner or operator must comply with 
the relevant standard upon startup.
    (c) Compliance dates for existing sources. (1) After the effective 
date of a relevant standard established under this part pursuant to 
section 112(d) or 112(h) of the Act, the owner or operator of an 
existing source shall comply with such standard by the compliance date 
established by the Administrator in the applicable subpart(s) of this 
part, except as provided in Sec.  63.1(c)(6)(i). Except as otherwise 
provided for in section 112 of the Act, in no case will the compliance 
date established for an existing source in an applicable subpart of this 
part exceed 3 years after the effective date of such standard.
    (2) If an existing source is subject to a standard established under 
this part pursuant to section 112(f) of the Act, the owner or operator 
must comply with the standard by the date 90 days after the standard's 
effective date, or by the date specified in an extension granted to the 
source by the Administrator under paragraph (i)(4)(ii) of this section, 
whichever is later.
    (3)-(4) [Reserved]
    (5) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(7) of this section, the 
owner or operator of an area source that increases its emissions of (or 
its potential to emit) hazardous air pollutants such

[[Page 27]]

that the source becomes a major source and meets the definition of an 
existing source in the applicable major source standard shall be subject 
to relevant standards for existing sources. Except as provided in 
paragraph Sec.  63.1(c)(6)(i)(B), such sources must comply by the date 
specified in the standards for existing area sources that become major 
sources. If no such compliance date is specified in the standards, the 
source shall have a period of time to comply with the relevant emission 
standard that is equivalent to the compliance period specified in the 
relevant standard for existing sources in existence at the time the 
standard becomes effective.
    (d) [Reserved]
    (e) Operation and maintenance requirements. (1)(i) At all times, 
including periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, the owner or 
operator must operate and maintain any affected source, including 
associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in 
a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices 
for minimizing emissions. During a period of startup, shutdown, or 
malfunction, this general duty to minimize emissions requires that the 
owner or operator reduce emissions from the affected source to the 
greatest extent which is consistent with safety and good air pollution 
control practices. The general duty to minimize emissions during a 
period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction does not require the owner 
or operator to achieve emission levels that would be required by the 
applicable standard at other times if this is not consistent with safety 
and good air pollution control practices, nor does it require the owner 
or operator to make any further efforts to reduce emissions if levels 
required by the applicable standard have been achieved. Determination of 
whether such operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be 
based on information available to the Administrator which may include, 
but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and 
maintenance procedures (including the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan required in paragraph (e)(3) of this section), review of operation 
and maintenance records, and inspection of the source.
    (ii) Malfunctions must be corrected as soon as practicable after 
their occurrence. To the extent that an unexpected event arises during a 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction, an owner or operator must comply by 
minimizing emissions during such a startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
event consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices.
    (iii) Operation and maintenance requirements established pursuant to 
section 112 of the Act are enforceable independent of emissions 
limitations or other requirements in relevant standards.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (3) Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan. (i) The owner or 
operator of an affected source must develop a written startup, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan that describes, in detail, procedures for operating 
and maintaining the source during periods of startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction; and a program of corrective action for malfunctioning 
process, air pollution control, and monitoring equipment used to comply 
with the relevant standard. The startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
does not need to address any scenario that would not cause the source to 
exceed an applicable emission limitation in the relevant standard. This 
plan must be developed by the owner or operator by the source's 
compliance date for that relevant standard. The purpose of the startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan is to--
    (A) Ensure that, at all times, the owner or operator operates and 
maintains each affected source, including associated air pollution 
control and monitoring equipment, in a manner which satisfies the 
general duty to minimize emissions established by paragraph (e)(1)(i) of 
this section;
    (B) Ensure that owners or operators are prepared to correct 
malfunctions as soon as practicable after their occurrence in order to 
minimize excess emissions of hazardous air pollutants; and
    (C) Reduce the reporting burden associated with periods of startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction (including corrective action taken to restore 
malfunctioning process and air pollution

[[Page 28]]

control equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation).
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (iii) When actions taken by the owner or operator during a startup 
or shutdown (and the startup or shutdown causes the source to exceed any 
applicable emission limitation in the relevant emission standards), or 
malfunction (including actions taken to correct a malfunction) are 
consistent with the procedures specified in the affected source's 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the owner or operator must keep 
records for that event which demonstrate that the procedures specified 
in the plan were followed. These records may take the form of a 
``checklist,'' or other effective form of recordkeeping that confirms 
conformance with the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan and 
describes the actions taken for that event. In addition, the owner or 
operator must keep records of these events as specified in paragraph 
63.10(b), including records of the occurrence and duration of each 
startup or shutdown (if the startup or shutdown causes the source to 
exceed any applicable emission limitation in the relevant emission 
standards), or malfunction of operation and each malfunction of the air 
pollution control and monitoring equipment. Furthermore, the owner or 
operator shall confirm that actions taken during the relevant reporting 
period during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction were 
consistent with the affected source's startup, shutdown and malfunction 
plan in the semiannual (or more frequent) startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction report required in Sec.  63.10(d)(5).
    (iv) If an action taken by the owner or operator during a startup, 
shutdown, or malfunction (including an action taken to correct a 
malfunction) is not consistent with the procedures specified in the 
affected source's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and the 
source exceeds any applicable emission limitation in the relevant 
emission standard, then the owner or operator must record the actions 
taken for that event and must report such actions within 2 working days 
after commencing actions inconsistent with the plan, followed by a 
letter within 7 working days after the end of the event, in accordance 
with Sec.  63.10(d)(5) (unless the owner or operator makes alternative 
reporting arrangements, in advance, with the Administrator).
    (v) The owner or operator must maintain at the affected source a 
current startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan and must make the plan 
available upon request for inspection and copying by the Administrator. 
In addition, if the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is 
subsequently revised as provided in paragraph (e)(3)(viii) of this 
section, the owner or operator must maintain at the affected source each 
previous (i.e., superseded) version of the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan, and must make each such previous version available for 
inspection and copying by the Administrator for a period of 5 years 
after revision of the plan. If at any time after adoption of a startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan the affected source ceases operation or 
is otherwise no longer subject to the provisions of this part, the owner 
or operator must retain a copy of the most recent plan for 5 years from 
the date the source ceases operation or is no longer subject to this 
part and must make the plan available upon request for inspection and 
copying by the Administrator. The Administrator may at any time request 
in writing that the owner or operator submit a copy of any startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan (or a portion thereof) which is 
maintained at the affected source or in the possession of the owner or 
operator. Upon receipt of such a request, the owner or operator must 
promptly submit a copy of the requested plan (or a portion thereof) to 
the Administrator. The owner or operator may elect to submit the 
required copy of any startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan to the 
Administrator in an electronic format. If the owner or operator claims 
that any portion of such a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is 
confidential business information entitled to protection from disclosure 
under section 114(c) of the Act or 40 CFR 2.301, the material which is 
claimed as confidential must be clearly designated in the submission.

[[Page 29]]

    (vi) To satisfy the requirements of this section to develop a 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the owner or operator may use 
the affected source's standard operating procedures (SOP) manual, or an 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or other plan, 
provided the alternative plans meet all the requirements of this section 
and are made available for inspection or submitted when requested by the 
Administrator.
    (vii) Based on the results of a determination made under paragraph 
(e)(1)(i) of this section, the Administrator may require that an owner 
or operator of an affected source make changes to the startup, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan for that source. The Administrator must require 
appropriate revisions to a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, if 
the Administrator finds that the plan:
    (A) Does not address a startup, shutdown, or malfunction event that 
has occurred;
    (B) Fails to provide for the operation of the source (including 
associated air pollution control and monitoring equipment) during a 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction event in a manner consistent with the 
general duty to minimize emissions established by paragraph (e)(1)(i) of 
this section;
    (C) Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting 
malfunctioning process and/or air pollution control and monitoring 
equipment as quickly as practicable; or
    (D) Includes an event that does not meet the definition of startup, 
shutdown, or malfunction listed in Sec.  63.2.
    (viii) The owner or operator may periodically revise the startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan for the affected source as necessary to 
satisfy the requirements of this part or to reflect changes in equipment 
or procedures at the affected source. Unless the permitting authority 
provides otherwise, the owner or operator may make such revisions to the 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan without prior approval by the 
Administrator or the permitting authority. However, each such revision 
to a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan must be reported in the 
semiannual report required by Sec.  63.10(d)(5). If the startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan fails to address or inadequately 
addresses an event that meets the characteristics of a malfunction but 
was not included in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan at the 
time the owner or operator developed the plan, the owner or operator 
must revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan within 45 days 
after the event to include detailed procedures for operating and 
maintaining the source during similar malfunction events and a program 
of corrective action for similar malfunctions of process or air 
pollution control and monitoring equipment. In the event that the owner 
or operator makes any revision to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan which alters the scope of the activities at the source which are 
deemed to be a startup, shutdown, or malfunction, or otherwise modifies 
the applicability of any emission limit, work practice requirement, or 
other requirement in a standard established under this part, the revised 
plan shall not take effect until after the owner or operator has 
provided a written notice describing the revision to the permitting 
authority.
    (ix) The title V permit for an affected source must require that the 
owner or operator develop a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
which conforms to the provisions of this part, but may do so by citing 
to the relevant subpart or subparagraphs of paragraph (e) of this 
section. However, any revisions made to the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan in accordance with the procedures established by this 
part shall not be deemed to constitute permit revisions under part 70 or 
part 71 of this chapter and the elements of the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan shall not be considered an applicable requirement as 
defined in Sec.  70.2 and Sec.  71.2 of this chapter. Moreover, none of 
the procedures specified by the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
for an affected source shall be deemed to fall within the permit shield 
provision in section 504(f) of the Act.
    (f) Compliance with nonopacity emission standards--(1) 
Applicability. The non-opacity emission standards set forth in this part 
shall apply at all times except as otherwise specified in an applicable 
subpart. If a startup,

[[Page 30]]

shutdown, or malfunction of one portion of an affected source does not 
affect the ability of particular emission points within other portions 
of the affected source to comply with the non-opacity emission standards 
set forth in this part, then that emission point must still be required 
to comply with the non-opacity emission standards and other applicable 
requirements.
    (2) Methods for determining compliance. (i) The Administrator will 
determine compliance with nonopacity emission standards in this part 
based on the results of performance tests conducted according to the 
procedures in Sec.  63.7, unless otherwise specified in an applicable 
subpart of this part.
    (ii) The Administrator will determine compliance with nonopacity 
emission standards in this part by evaluation of an owner or operator's 
conformance with operation and maintenance requirements, including the 
evaluation of monitoring data, as specified in Sec.  63.6(e) and 
applicable subparts of this part.
    (iii) If an affected source conducts performance testing at startup 
to obtain an operating permit in the State in which the source is 
located, the results of such testing may be used to demonstrate 
compliance with a relevant standard if--
    (A) The performance test was conducted within a reasonable amount of 
time before an initial performance test is required to be conducted 
under the relevant standard;
    (B) The performance test was conducted under representative 
operating conditions for the source;
    (C) The performance test was conducted and the resulting data were 
reduced using EPA-approved test methods and procedures, as specified in 
Sec.  63.7(e) of this subpart; and
    (D) The performance test was appropriately quality-assured, as 
specified in Sec.  63.7(c).
    (iv) The Administrator will determine compliance with design, 
equipment, work practice, or operational emission standards in this part 
by review of records, inspection of the source, and other procedures 
specified in applicable subparts of this part.
    (v) The Administrator will determine compliance with design, 
equipment, work practice, or operational emission standards in this part 
by evaluation of an owner or operator's conformance with operation and 
maintenance requirements, as specified in paragraph (e) of this section 
and applicable subparts of this part.
    (3) Finding of compliance. The Administrator will make a finding 
concerning an affected source's compliance with a non-opacity emission 
standard, as specified in paragraphs (f)(1) and (2) of this section, 
upon obtaining all the compliance information required by the relevant 
standard (including the written reports of performance test results, 
monitoring results, and other information, if applicable), and 
information available to the Administrator pursuant to paragraph 
(e)(1)(i) of this section.
    (g) Use of an alternative nonopacity emission standard. (1) If, in 
the Administrator's judgment, an owner or operator of an affected source 
has established that an alternative means of emission limitation will 
achieve a reduction in emissions of a hazardous air pollutant from an 
affected source at least equivalent to the reduction in emissions of 
that pollutant from that source achieved under any design, equipment, 
work practice, or operational emission standard, or combination thereof, 
established under this part pursuant to section 112(h) of the Act, the 
Administrator will publish in the Federal Register a notice permitting 
the use of the alternative emission standard for purposes of compliance 
with the promulgated standard. Any Federal Register notice under this 
paragraph shall be published only after the public is notified and given 
the opportunity to comment. Such notice will restrict the permission to 
the stationary source(s) or category(ies) of sources from which the 
alternative emission standard will achieve equivalent emission 
reductions. The Administrator will condition permission in such notice 
on requirements to assure the proper operation and maintenance of 
equipment and practices required for compliance with the alternative 
emission standard and other requirements, including appropriate quality 
assurance and quality control requirements, that are deemed necessary.

[[Page 31]]

    (2) An owner or operator requesting permission under this paragraph 
shall, unless otherwise specified in an applicable subpart, submit a 
proposed test plan or the results of testing and monitoring in 
accordance with Sec.  63.7 and Sec.  63.8, a description of the 
procedures followed in testing or monitoring, and a description of 
pertinent conditions during testing or monitoring. Any testing or 
monitoring conducted to request permission to use an alternative 
nonopacity emission standard shall be appropriately quality assured and 
quality controlled, as specified in Sec.  63.7 and Sec.  63.8.
    (3) The Administrator may establish general procedures in an 
applicable subpart that accomplish the requirements of paragraphs (g)(1) 
and (g)(2) of this section.
    (h) Compliance with opacity and visible emission standards--(1) 
Applicability. The opacity and visible emission standards set forth in 
this part must apply at all times except as otherwise specified in an 
applicable subpart. If a startup, shutdown, or malfunction of one 
portion of an affected source does not affect the ability of particular 
emission points within other portions of the affected source to comply 
with the opacity and visible emission standards set forth in this part, 
then that emission point shall still be required to comply with the 
opacity and visible emission standards and other applicable 
requirements.
    (2) Methods for determining compliance. (i) The Administrator will 
determine compliance with opacity and visible emission standards in this 
part based on the results of the test method specified in an applicable 
subpart. Whenever a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) is 
required to be installed to determine compliance with numerical opacity 
emission standards in this part, compliance with opacity emission 
standards in this part shall be determined by using the results from the 
COMS. Whenever an opacity emission test method is not specified, 
compliance with opacity emission standards in this part shall be 
determined by conducting observations in accordance with Test Method 9 
in appendix A of part 60 of this chapter or the method specified in 
paragraph (h)(7)(ii) of this section. Whenever a visible emission test 
method is not specified, compliance with visible emission standards in 
this part shall be determined by conducting observations in accordance 
with Test Method 22 in appendix A of part 60 of this chapter.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (iii) If an affected source undergoes opacity or visible emission 
testing at startup to obtain an operating permit in the State in which 
the source is located, the results of such testing may be used to 
demonstrate compliance with a relevant standard if--
    (A) The opacity or visible emission test was conducted within a 
reasonable amount of time before a performance test is required to be 
conducted under the relevant standard;
    (B) The opacity or visible emission test was conducted under 
representative operating conditions for the source;
    (C) The opacity or visible emission test was conducted and the 
resulting data were reduced using EPA-approved test methods and 
procedures, as specified in Sec.  63.7(e); and
    (D) The opacity or visible emission test was appropriately quality-
assured, as specified in Sec.  63.7(c) of this section.
    (3) [Reserved]
    (4) Notification of opacity or visible emission observations. The 
owner or operator of an affected source shall notify the Administrator 
in writing of the anticipated date for conducting opacity or visible 
emission observations in accordance with Sec.  63.9(f), if such 
observations are required for the source by a relevant standard.
    (5) Conduct of opacity or visible emission observations. When a 
relevant standard under this part includes an opacity or visible 
emission standard, the owner or operator of an affected source shall 
comply with the following:
    (i) For the purpose of demonstrating initial compliance, opacity or 
visible emission observations shall be conducted concurrently with the 
initial performance test required in Sec.  63.7 unless one of the 
following conditions applies:
    (A) If no performance test under Sec.  63.7 is required, opacity or 
visible emission observations shall be conducted within 60 days after 
achieving the maximum

[[Page 32]]

production rate at which a new or reconstructed source will be operated, 
but not later than 120 days after initial startup of the source, or 
within 120 days after the effective date of the relevant standard in the 
case of new sources that start up before the standard's effective date. 
If no performance test under Sec.  63.7 is required, opacity or visible 
emission observations shall be conducted within 120 days after the 
compliance date for an existing or modified source; or
    (B) If visibility or other conditions prevent the opacity or visible 
emission observations from being conducted concurrently with the initial 
performance test required under Sec.  63.7, or within the time period 
specified in paragraph (h)(5)(i)(A) of this section, the source's owner 
or operator shall reschedule the opacity or visible emission 
observations as soon after the initial performance test, or time period, 
as possible, but not later than 30 days thereafter, and shall advise the 
Administrator of the rescheduled date. The rescheduled opacity or 
visible emission observations shall be conducted (to the extent 
possible) under the same operating conditions that existed during the 
initial performance test conducted under Sec.  63.7. The visible 
emissions observer shall determine whether visibility or other 
conditions prevent the opacity or visible emission observations from 
being made concurrently with the initial performance test in accordance 
with procedures contained in Test Method 9 or Test Method 22 in appendix 
A of part 60 of this chapter.
    (ii) For the purpose of demonstrating initial compliance, the 
minimum total time of opacity observations shall be 3 hours (30 6-minute 
averages) for the performance test or other required set of observations 
(e.g., for fugitive-type emission sources subject only to an opacity 
emission standard).
    (iii) The owner or operator of an affected source to which an 
opacity or visible emission standard in this part applies shall conduct 
opacity or visible emission observations in accordance with the 
provisions of this section, record the results of the evaluation of 
emissions, and report to the Administrator the opacity or visible 
emission results in accordance with the provisions of Sec.  63.10(d).
    (iv) [Reserved]
    (v) Opacity readings of portions of plumes that contain condensed, 
uncombined water vapor shall not be used for purposes of determining 
compliance with opacity emission standards.
    (6) Availability of records. The owner or operator of an affected 
source shall make available, upon request by the Administrator, such 
records that the Administrator deems necessary to determine the 
conditions under which the visual observations were made and shall 
provide evidence indicating proof of current visible observer emission 
certification.
    (7) Use of a continuous opacity monitoring system. (i) The owner or 
operator of an affected source required to use a continuous opacity 
monitoring system (COMS) shall record the monitoring data produced 
during a performance test required under Sec.  63.7 and shall furnish 
the Administrator a written report of the monitoring results in 
accordance with the provisions of Sec.  63.10(e)(4).
    (ii) Whenever an opacity emission test method has not been specified 
in an applicable subpart, or an owner or operator of an affected source 
is required to conduct Test Method 9 observations (see appendix A of 
part 60 of this chapter), the owner or operator may submit, for 
compliance purposes, COMS data results produced during any performance 
test required under Sec.  63.7 in lieu of Method 9 data. If the owner or 
operator elects to submit COMS data for compliance with the opacity 
emission standard, he or she shall notify the Administrator of that 
decision, in writing, simultaneously with the notification under Sec.  
63.7(b) of the date the performance test is scheduled to begin. Once the 
owner or operator of an affected source has notified the Administrator 
to that effect, the COMS data results will be used to determine opacity 
compliance during subsequent performance tests required under Sec.  
63.7, unless the owner or operator notifies the Administrator in writing 
to the contrary not later than with the notification under Sec.  63.7(b) 
of the

[[Page 33]]

date the subsequent performance test is scheduled to begin.
    (iii) For the purposes of determining compliance with the opacity 
emission standard during a performance test required under Sec.  63.7 
using COMS data, the COMS data shall be reduced to 6-minute averages 
over the duration of the mass emission performance test.
    (iv) The owner or operator of an affected source using a COMS for 
compliance purposes is responsible for demonstrating that he/she has 
complied with the performance evaluation requirements of Sec.  63.8(e), 
that the COMS has been properly maintained, operated, and data quality-
assured, as specified in Sec.  63.8(c) and Sec.  63.8(d), and that the 
resulting data have not been altered in any way.
    (v) Except as provided in paragraph (h)(7)(ii) of this section, the 
results of continuous monitoring by a COMS that indicate that the 
opacity at the time visual observations were made was not in excess of 
the emission standard are probative but not conclusive evidence of the 
actual opacity of an emission, provided that the affected source proves 
that, at the time of the alleged violation, the instrument used was 
properly maintained, as specified in Sec.  63.8(c), and met Performance 
Specification 1 in appendix B of part 60 of this chapter, and that the 
resulting data have not been altered in any way.
    (8) Finding of compliance. The Administrator will make a finding 
concerning an affected source's compliance with an opacity or visible 
emission standard upon obtaining all the compliance information required 
by the relevant standard (including the written reports of the results 
of the performance tests required by Sec.  63.7, the results of Test 
Method 9 or another required opacity or visible emission test method, 
the observer certification required by paragraph (h)(6) of this section, 
and the continuous opacity monitoring system results, whichever is/are 
applicable) and any information available to the Administrator needed to 
determine whether proper operation and maintenance practices are being 
used.
    (9) Adjustment to an opacity emission standard. (i) If the 
Administrator finds under paragraph (h)(8) of this section that an 
affected source is in compliance with all relevant standards for which 
initial performance tests were conducted under Sec.  63.7, but during 
the time such performance tests were conducted fails to meet any 
relevant opacity emission standard, the owner or operator of such source 
may petition the Administrator to make appropriate adjustment to the 
opacity emission standard for the affected source. Until the 
Administrator notifies the owner or operator of the appropriate 
adjustment, the relevant opacity emission standard remains applicable.
    (ii) The Administrator may grant such a petition upon a 
demonstration by the owner or operator that--
    (A) The affected source and its associated air pollution control 
equipment were operated and maintained in a manner to minimize the 
opacity of emissions during the performance tests;
    (B) The performance tests were performed under the conditions 
established by the Administrator; and
    (C) The affected source and its associated air pollution control 
equipment were incapable of being adjusted or operated to meet the 
relevant opacity emission standard.
    (iii) The Administrator will establish an adjusted opacity emission 
standard for the affected source meeting the above requirements at a 
level at which the source will be able, as indicated by the performance 
and opacity tests, to meet the opacity emission standard at all times 
during which the source is meeting the mass or concentration emission 
standard. The Administrator will promulgate the new opacity emission 
standard in the Federal Register.
    (iv) After the Administrator promulgates an adjusted opacity 
emission standard for an affected source, the owner or operator of such 
source shall be subject to the new opacity emission standard, and the 
new opacity emission standard shall apply to such source during any 
subsequent performance tests.
    (i) Extension of compliance with emission standards. (1) Until an 
extension of compliance has been granted by the Administrator (or a 
State with an approved permit program) under this paragraph, the owner 
or operator of an

[[Page 34]]

affected source subject to the requirements of this section shall comply 
with all applicable requirements of this part.
    (2) Extension of compliance for early reductions and other 
reductions--(i) Early reductions. Pursuant to section 112(i)(5) of the 
Act, if the owner or operator of an existing source demonstrates that 
the source has achieved a reduction in emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants in accordance with the provisions of subpart D of this part, 
the Administrator (or the State with an approved permit program) will 
grant the owner or operator an extension of compliance with specific 
requirements of this part, as specified in subpart D.
    (ii) Other reductions. Pursuant to section 112(i)(6) of the Act, if 
the owner or operator of an existing source has installed best available 
control technology (BACT) (as defined in section 169(3) of the Act) or 
technology required to meet a lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) (as 
defined in section 171 of the Act) prior to the promulgation of an 
emission standard in this part applicable to such source and the same 
pollutant (or stream of pollutants) controlled pursuant to the BACT or 
LAER installation, the Administrator will grant the owner or operator an 
extension of compliance with such emission standard that will apply 
until the date 5 years after the date on which such installation was 
achieved, as determined by the Administrator.
    (3) Request for extension of compliance. Paragraphs (i)(4) through 
(i)(7) of this section concern requests for an extension of compliance 
with a relevant standard under this part (except requests for an 
extension of compliance under paragraph (i)(2)(i) of this section will 
be handled through procedures specified in subpart D of this part).
    (4)(i)(A) The owner or operator of an existing source who is unable 
to comply with a relevant standard established under this part pursuant 
to section 112(d) of the Act may request that the Administrator (or a 
State, when the State has an approved part 70 permit program and the 
source is required to obtain a part 70 permit under that program, or a 
State, when the State has been delegated the authority to implement and 
enforce the emission standard for that source) grant an extension 
allowing the source up to 1 additional year to comply with the standard, 
if such additional period is necessary for the installation of controls. 
An additional extension of up to 3 years may be added for mining waste 
operations, if the 1-year extension of compliance is insufficient to dry 
and cover mining waste in order to reduce emissions of any hazardous air 
pollutant. The owner or operator of an affected source who has requested 
an extension of compliance under this paragraph and who is otherwise 
required to obtain a title V permit shall apply for such permit or apply 
to have the source's title V permit revised to incorporate the 
conditions of the extension of compliance. The conditions of an 
extension of compliance granted under this paragraph will be 
incorporated into the affected source's title V permit according to the 
provisions of part 70 or Federal title V regulations in this chapter (42 
U.S.C. 7661), whichever are applicable.
    (B) Any request under this paragraph for an extension of compliance 
with a relevant standard must be submitted in writing to the appropriate 
authority no later than 120 days prior to the affected source's 
compliance date (as specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this 
section), except as provided for in paragraph (i)(4)(i)(C) of this 
section. Nonfrivolous requests submitted under this paragraph will stay 
the applicability of the rule as to the emission points in question 
until such time as the request is granted or denied. A denial will be 
effective as of the date of denial. Emission standards established under 
this part may specify alternative dates for the submittal of requests 
for an extension of compliance if alternatives are appropriate for the 
source categories affected by those standards.
    (C) An owner or operator may submit a compliance extension request 
after the date specified in paragraph (i)(4)(i)(B) of this section 
provided the need for the compliance extension arose after that date, 
and before the otherwise applicable compliance date and the need arose 
due to circumstances beyond reasonable control of the owner or operator. 
This request

[[Page 35]]

must include, in addition to the information required in paragraph 
(i)(6)(i) of this section, a statement of the reasons additional time is 
needed and the date when the owner or operator first learned of the 
problems. Nonfrivolous requests submitted under this paragraph will stay 
the applicability of the rule as to the emission points in question 
until such time as the request is granted or denied. A denial will be 
effective as of the original compliance date.
    (ii) The owner or operator of an existing source unable to comply 
with a relevant standard established under this part pursuant to section 
112(f) of the Act may request that the Administrator grant an extension 
allowing the source up to 2 years after the standard's effective date to 
comply with the standard. The Administrator may grant such an extension 
if he/she finds that such additional period is necessary for the 
installation of controls and that steps will be taken during the period 
of the extension to assure that the health of persons will be protected 
from imminent endangerment. Any request for an extension of compliance 
with a relevant standard under this paragraph must be submitted in 
writing to the Administrator not later than 90 calendar days after the 
effective date of the relevant standard.
    (5) The owner or operator of an existing source that has installed 
BACT or technology required to meet LAER [as specified in paragraph 
(i)(2)(ii) of this section] prior to the promulgation of a relevant 
emission standard in this part may request that the Administrator grant 
an extension allowing the source 5 years from the date on which such 
installation was achieved, as determined by the Administrator, to comply 
with the standard. Any request for an extension of compliance with a 
relevant standard under this paragraph shall be submitted in writing to 
the Administrator not later than 120 days after the promulgation date of 
the standard. The Administrator may grant such an extension if he or she 
finds that the installation of BACT or technology to meet LAER controls 
the same pollutant (or stream of pollutants) that would be controlled at 
that source by the relevant emission standard.
    (6)(i) The request for a compliance extension under paragraph (i)(4) 
of this section shall include the following information:
    (A) A description of the controls to be installed to comply with the 
standard;
    (B) A compliance schedule, including the date by which each step 
toward compliance will be reached. At a minimum, the list of dates shall 
include:
    (1) The date by which on-site construction, installation of emission 
control equipment, or a process change is planned to be initiated; and
    (2) The date by which final compliance is to be achieved.
    (3) The date by which on-site construction, installation of emission 
control equipment, or a process change is to be completed; and
    (4) The date by which final compliance is to be achieved;
    (C)-(D)
    (ii) The request for a compliance extension under paragraph (i)(5) 
of this section shall include all information needed to demonstrate to 
the Administrator's satisfaction that the installation of BACT or 
technology to meet LAER controls the same pollutant (or stream of 
pollutants) that would be controlled at that source by the relevant 
emission standard.
    (7) Advice on requesting an extension of compliance may be obtained 
from the Administrator (or the State with an approved permit program).
    (8) Approval of request for extension of compliance. Paragraphs 
(i)(9) through (i)(14) of this section concern approval of an extension 
of compliance requested under paragraphs (i)(4) through (i)(6) of this 
section.
    (9) Based on the information provided in any request made under 
paragraphs (i)(4) through (i)(6) of this section, or other information, 
the Administrator (or the State with an approved permit program) may 
grant an extension of compliance with an emission standard, as specified 
in paragraphs (i)(4) and (i)(5) of this section.
    (10) The extension will be in writing and will--
    (i) Identify each affected source covered by the extension;
    (ii) Specify the termination date of the extension;

[[Page 36]]

    (iii) Specify the dates by which steps toward compliance are to be 
taken, if appropriate;
    (iv) Specify other applicable requirements to which the compliance 
extension applies (e.g., performance tests); and
    (v)(A) Under paragraph (i)(4), specify any additional conditions 
that the Administrator (or the State) deems necessary to assure 
installation of the necessary controls and protection of the health of 
persons during the extension period; or
    (B) Under paragraph (i)(5), specify any additional conditions that 
the Administrator deems necessary to assure the proper operation and 
maintenance of the installed controls during the extension period.
    (11) The owner or operator of an existing source that has been 
granted an extension of compliance under paragraph (i)(10) of this 
section may be required to submit to the Administrator (or the State 
with an approved permit program) progress reports indicating whether the 
steps toward compliance outlined in the compliance schedule have been 
reached. The contents of the progress reports and the dates by which 
they shall be submitted will be specified in the written extension of 
compliance granted under paragraph (i)(10) of this section.
    (12)(i) The Administrator (or the State with an approved permit 
program) will notify the owner or operator in writing of approval or 
intention to deny approval of a request for an extension of compliance 
within 30 calendar days after receipt of sufficient information to 
evaluate a request submitted under paragraph (i)(4)(i) or (i)(5) of this 
section. The Administrator (or the State) will notify the owner or 
operator in writing of the status of his/her application, that is, 
whether the application contains sufficient information to make a 
determination, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the original 
application and within 30 calendar days after receipt of any 
supplementary information that is submitted. The 30-day approval or 
denial period will begin after the owner or operator has been notified 
in writing that his/her application is complete.
    (ii) When notifying the owner or operator that his/her application 
is not complete, the Administrator will specify the information needed 
to complete the application and provide notice of opportunity for the 
applicant to present, in writing, within 30 calendar days after he/she 
is notified of the incomplete application, additional information or 
arguments to the Administrator to enable further action on the 
application.
    (iii) Before denying any request for an extension of compliance, the 
Administrator (or the State with an approved permit program) will notify 
the owner or operator in writing of the Administrator's (or the State's) 
intention to issue the denial, together with--
    (A) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended 
denial is based; and
    (B) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present in 
writing, within 15 calendar days after he/she is notified of the 
intended denial, additional information or arguments to the 
Administrator (or the State) before further action on the request.
    (iv) The Administrator's final determination to deny any request for 
an extension will be in writing and will set forth the specific grounds 
on which the denial is based. The final determination will be made 
within 30 calendar days after presentation of additional information or 
argument (if the application is complete), or within 30 calendar days 
after the final date specified for the presentation if no presentation 
is made.
    (13)(i) The Administrator will notify the owner or operator in 
writing of approval or intention to deny approval of a request for an 
extension of compliance within 30 calendar days after receipt of 
sufficient information to evaluate a request submitted under paragraph 
(i)(4)(ii) of this section. The 30-day approval or denial period will 
begin after the owner or operator has been notified in writing that his/
her application is complete. The Administrator (or the State) will 
notify the owner or operator in writing of the status of his/her 
application, that is, whether the application contains sufficient 
information to make a determination, within 15 calendar days after

[[Page 37]]

receipt of the original application and within 15 calendar days after 
receipt of any supplementary information that is submitted.
    (ii) When notifying the owner or operator that his/her application 
is not complete, the Administrator will specify the information needed 
to complete the application and provide notice of opportunity for the 
applicant to present, in writing, within 15 calendar days after he/she 
is notified of the incomplete application, additional information or 
arguments to the Administrator to enable further action on the 
application.
    (iii) Before denying any request for an extension of compliance, the 
Administrator will notify the owner or operator in writing of the 
Administrator's intention to issue the denial, together with--
    (A) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended 
denial is based; and
    (B) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present in 
writing, within 15 calendar days after he/she is notified of the 
intended denial, additional information or arguments to the 
Administrator before further action on the request.
    (iv) A final determination to deny any request for an extension will 
be in writing and will set forth the specific grounds on which the 
denial is based. The final determination will be made within 30 calendar 
days after presentation of additional information or argument (if the 
application is complete), or within 30 calendar days after the final 
date specified for the presentation if no presentation is made.
    (14) The Administrator (or the State with an approved permit 
program) may terminate an extension of compliance at an earlier date 
than specified if any specification under paragraph (i)(10)(iii) or (iv) 
of this section is not met. Upon a determination to terminate, the 
Administrator will notify, in writing, the owner or operator of the 
Administrator's determination to terminate, together with:
    (i) Notice of the reason for termination; and
    (ii) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present in 
writing, within 15 calendar days after he/she is notified of the 
determination to terminate, additional information or arguments to the 
Administrator before further action on the termination.
    (iii) A final determination to terminate an extension of compliance 
will be in writing and will set forth the specific grounds on which the 
termination is based. The final determination will be made within 30 
calendar days after presentation of additional information or arguments, 
or within 30 calendar days after the final date specified for the 
presentation if no presentation is made.
    (15) [Reserved]
    (16) The granting of an extension under this section shall not 
abrogate the Administrator's authority under section 114 of the Act.
    (j) Exemption from compliance with emission standards. The President 
may exempt any stationary source from compliance with any relevant 
standard established pursuant to section 112 of the Act for a period of 
not more than 2 years if the President determines that the technology to 
implement such standard is not available and that it is in the national 
security interests of the United States to do so. An exemption under 
this paragraph may be extended for 1 or more additional periods, each 
period not to exceed 2 years.

Sec.  63.7  Performance testing requirements.

    (a) Applicability and performance test dates. (1) The applicability 
of this section is set out in Sec.  63.1(a)(4).
    (2) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, if 
required to do performance testing by a relevant standard, and unless a 
waiver of performance testing is obtained under this section or the 
conditions of paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(B) of this section apply, the owner 
or operator of the affected source must perform such tests within 180 
days of the compliance date for such source.
    (i)-(viii) [Reserved]
    (ix) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, when an 
emission standard promulgated under this part

[[Page 38]]

is more stringent than the standard proposed (see Sec.  63.6(b)(3)), the 
owner or operator of a new or reconstructed source subject to that 
standard for which construction or reconstruction is commenced between 
the proposal and promulgation dates of the standard shall comply with 
performance testing requirements within 180 days after the standard's 
effective date, or within 180 days after startup of the source, 
whichever is later. If the promulgated standard is more stringent than 
the proposed standard, the owner or operator may choose to demonstrate 
compliance with either the proposed or the promulgated standard. If the 
owner or operator chooses to comply with the proposed standard 
initially, the owner or operator shall conduct a second performance test 
within 3 years and 180 days after the effective date of the standard, or 
after startup of the source, whichever is later, to demonstrate 
compliance with the promulgated standard.
    (3) The Administrator may require an owner or operator to conduct 
performance tests at the affected source at any other time when the 
action is authorized by section 114 of the Act.
    (4) If a force majeure is about to occur, occurs, or has occurred 
for which the affected owner or operator intends to assert a claim of 
force majeure:
    (i) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator, in writing 
as soon as practicable following the date the owner or operator first 
knew, or through due diligence should have known that the event may 
cause or caused a delay in testing beyond the regulatory deadline 
specified in paragraph (a)(2) or (a)(3) of this section, or elsewhere in 
this part, but the notification must occur before the performance test 
deadline unless the initial force majeure or a subsequent force majeure 
event delays the notice, and in such cases, the notification shall occur 
as soon as practicable.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall provide to the Administrator a 
written description of the force majeure event and a rationale for 
attributing the delay in testing beyond the regulatory deadline to the 
force majeure; describe the measures taken or to be taken to minimize 
the delay; and identify a date by which the owner or operator proposes 
to conduct the performance test. The performance test shall be conducted 
as soon as practicable after the force majeure occurs.
    (iii) The decision as to whether or not to grant an extension to the 
performance test deadline is solely within the discretion of the 
Administrator. The Administrator will notify the owner or operator in 
writing of approval or disapproval of the request for an extension as 
soon as practicable.
    (iv) Until an extension of the performance test deadline has been 
approved by the Administrator under paragraphs (a)(4)(i), (a)(4)(ii), 
and (a)(4)(iii) of this section, the owner or operator of the affected 
facility remains strictly subject to the requirements of this part.
    (b) Notification of performance test. (1) The owner or operator of 
an affected source must notify the Administrator in writing of his or 
her intention to conduct a performance test at least 60 calendar days 
before the performance test is initially scheduled to begin to allow the 
Administrator, upon request, to review an approve the site-specific test 
plan required under paragraph (c) of this section and to have an 
observer present during the test.
    (2) In the event the owner or operator is unable to conduct the 
performance test on the date specified in the notification requirement 
specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section due to unforeseeable 
circumstances beyond his or her control, the owner or operator must 
notify the Administrator as soon as practicable and without delay prior 
to the scheduled performance test date and specify the date when the 
performance test is rescheduled. This notification of delay in 
conducting the performance test shall not relieve the owner or operator 
of legal responsibility for compliance with any other applicable 
provisions of this part or with any other applicable Federal, State, or 
local requirement, nor will it prevent the Administrator from 
implementing or enforcing this part or taking any other action under the 
Act.
    (c) Quality assurance program. (1) The results of the quality 
assurance program required in this paragraph will be

[[Page 39]]

considered by the Administrator when he/she determines the validity of a 
performance test.
    (2)(i) Submission of site-specific test plan. Before conducting a 
required performance test, the owner or operator of an affected source 
shall develop and, if requested by the Administrator, shall submit a 
site-specific test plan to the Administrator for approval. The test plan 
shall include a test program summary, the test schedule, data quality 
objectives, and both an internal and external quality assurance (QA) 
program. Data quality objectives are the pretest expectations of 
precision, accuracy, and completeness of data.
    (ii) The internal QA program shall include, at a minimum, the 
activities planned by routine operators and analysts to provide an 
assessment of test data precision; an example of internal QA is the 
sampling and analysis of replicate samples.
    (iii) The performance testing shall include a test method 
performance audit (PA) during the performance test. The PAs consist of 
blind audit samples supplied by an accredited audit sample provider and 
analyzed during the performance test in order to provide a measure of 
test data bias. Gaseous audit samples are designed to audit the 
performance of the sampling system as well as the analytical system and 
must be collected by the sampling system during the compliance test just 
as the compliance samples are collected. If a liquid or solid audit 
sample is designed to audit the sampling system, it must also be 
collected by the sampling system during the compliance test. If multiple 
sampling systems or sampling trains are used during the compliance test 
for any of the test methods, the tester is only required to use one of 
the sampling systems per method to collect the audit sample. The audit 
sample must be analyzed by the same analyst using the same analytical 
reagents and analytical system and at the same time as the compliance 
samples. Retests are required when there is a failure to produce 
acceptable results for an audit sample. However, if the audit results do 
not affect the compliance or noncompliance status of the affected 
facility, the compliance authority may waive the reanalysis requirement, 
further audits, or retests and accept the results of the compliance 
test. Acceptance of the test results shall constitute a waiver of the 
reanalysis requirement, further audits, or retests. The compliance 
authority may also use the audit sample failure and the compliance test 
results as evidence to determine the compliance or noncompliance status 
of the affected facility. A blind audit sample is a sample whose value 
is known only to the sample provider and is not revealed to the tested 
facility until after they report the measured value of the audit sample. 
For pollutants that exist in the gas phase at ambient temperature, the 
audit sample shall consist of an appropriate concentration of the 
pollutant in air or nitrogen that can be introduced into the sampling 
system of the test method at or near the same entry point as a sample 
from the emission source. If no gas phase audit samples are available, 
an acceptable alternative is a sample of the pollutant in the same 
matrix that would be produced when the sample is recovered from the 
sampling system as required by the test method. For samples that exist 
only in a liquid or solid form at ambient temperature, the audit sample 
shall consist of an appropriate concentration of the pollutant in the 
same matrix that would be produced when the sample is recovered from the 
sampling system as required by the test method. An accredited audit 
sample provider (AASP) is an organization that has been accredited to 
prepare audit samples by an independent, third party accrediting body.
    (A) The source owner, operator, or representative of the tested 
facility shall obtain an audit sample, if commercially available, from 
an AASP for each test method used for regulatory compliance purposes. No 
audit samples are required for the following test methods: Methods 3A 
and 3C of appendix A-3 of part 60 of this chapter; Methods 6C, 7E, 9, 
and 10 of appendix A-4 of part 60; Methods 18 and 19 of appendix A-6 of 
part 60; Methods 20, 22, and 25A of appendix A-7 of part 60; Methods 30A 
and 30B of appendix A-8 of part 60; and Methods 303, 318, 320, and 321 
of appendix A of this part. If multiple sources at a single facility are 
tested during a

[[Page 40]]

compliance test event, only one audit sample is required for each method 
used during a compliance test. The compliance authority responsible for 
the compliance test may waive the requirement to include an audit sample 
if they believe that an audit sample is not necessary. ``Commercially 
available'' means that two or more independent AASPs have blind audit 
samples available for purchase. If the source owner, operator, or 
representative cannot find an audit sample for a specific method, the 
owner, operator, or representative shall consult the EPA Web site at the 
following URL, www.epa.gov/ttn/emc, to confirm whether there is a source 
that can supply an audit sample for that method. If the EPA Web site 
does not list an available audit sample at least 60 days prior to the 
beginning of the compliance test, the source owner, operator, or 
representative shall not be required to include an audit sample as part 
of the quality assurance program for the compliance test. When ordering 
an audit sample, the source owner, operator, or representative shall 
give the sample provider an estimate for the concentration of each 
pollutant that is emitted by the source or the estimated concentration 
of each pollutant based on the permitted level and the name, address, 
and phone number of the compliance authority. The source owner, 
operator, or representative shall report the results for the audit 
sample along with a summary of the emission test results for the audited 
pollutant to the compliance authority and shall report the results of 
the audit sample to the AASP. The source owner, operator, or 
representative shall make both reports at the same time and in the same 
manner or shall report to the compliance authority first and then report 
to the AASP. If the method being audited is a method that allows the 
samples to be analyzed in the field and the tester plans to analyze the 
samples in the field, the tester may analyze the audit samples prior to 
collecting the emission samples provided a representative of the 
compliance authority is present at the testing site. The tester may 
request, and the compliance authority may grant, a waiver to the 
requirement that a representative of the compliance authority must be 
present at the testing site during the field analysis of an audit 
sample. The source owner, operator, or representative may report the 
results of the audit sample to the compliance authority and then report 
the results of the audit sample to the AASP prior to collecting any 
emission samples. The test protocol and final test report shall document 
whether an audit sample was ordered and utilized and the pass/fail 
results as applicable.
    (B) An AASP shall have and shall prepare, analyze, and report the 
true value of audit samples in accordance with a written technical 
criteria document that describes how audit samples will be prepared and 
distributed in a manner that will ensure the integrity of the audit 
sample program. An acceptable technical criteria document shall contain 
standard operating procedures for all of the following operations:
    (1) Preparing the sample;
    (2) Confirming the true concentration of the sample;
    (3) Defining the acceptance limits for the results from a well 
qualified tester. This procedure must use well established statistical 
methods to analyze historical results from well qualified testers. The 
acceptance limits shall be set so that there is 95 percent confidence 
that 90 percent of well qualified labs will produce future results that 
are within the acceptance limit range;
    (4) Providing the opportunity for the compliance authority to 
comment on the selected concentration level for an audit sample;
    (5) Distributing the sample to the user in a manner that guarantees 
that the true value of the sample is unknown to the user;
    (6) Recording the measured concentration reported by the user and 
determining if the measured value is within acceptable limits;
    (7) Reporting the results from each audit sample in a timely manner 
to the compliance authority and to the source owner, operator, or 
representative by the AASP. The AASP shall make both reports at the same 
time and in the same manner or shall report to the compliance authority 
first and then report to the source owner, operator, or

[[Page 41]]

representative. The results shall include the name of the facility 
tested, the date on which the compliance test was conducted, the name of 
the company performing the sample collection, the name of the company 
that analyzed the compliance samples including the audit sample, the 
measured result for the audit sample, and whether the testing company 
passed or failed the audit. The AASP shall report the true value of the 
audit sample to the compliance authority. The AASP may report the true 
value to the source owner, operator, or representative if the AASP's 
operating plan ensures that no laboratory will receive the same audit 
sample twice.
    (8) Evaluating the acceptance limits of samples at least once every 
two years to determine in consultation with the voluntary consensus 
standard body if they should be changed.
    (9) Maintaining a database, accessible to the compliance 
authorities, of results from the audit that shall include the name of 
the facility tested, the date on which the compliance test was 
conducted, the name of the company performing the sample collection, the 
name of the company that analyzed the compliance samples including the 
audit sample, the measured result for the audit sample, the true value 
of the audit sample, the acceptance range for the measured value, and 
whether the testing company passed or failed the audit.
    (C) The accrediting body shall have a written technical criteria 
document that describes how it will ensure that the AASP is operating in 
accordance with the AASP technical criteria document that describes how 
audit samples are to be prepared and distributed. This document shall 
contain standard operating procedures for all of the following 
operations:
    (1) Checking audit samples to confirm their true value as reported 
by the AASP.
    (2) Performing technical systems audits of the AASP's facilities and 
operating procedures at least once every two years.
    (3) Providing standards for use by the voluntary consensus standard 
body to approve the accrediting body that will accredit the audit sample 
providers.
    (D) The technical criteria documents for the accredited sample 
providers and the accrediting body shall be developed through a public 
process guided by a voluntary consensus standards body (VCSB). The VCSB 
shall operate in accordance with the procedures and requirements in the 
Office of Management and Budget Circular A-119. A copy of Circular A-119 
is available upon request by writing the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, by calling (202) 395-6880 or downloading 
online at http://standards.gov/standards_gov/a119.cfm. The VCSB shall 
approve all accrediting bodies. The Administrator will review all 
technical criteria documents. If the technical criteria documents do not 
meet the minimum technical requirements in paragraphs (c)(2)(iii)(B) 
through (C) of this section, the technical criteria documents are not 
acceptable and the proposed audit sample program is not capable of 
producing audit samples of sufficient quality to be used in a compliance 
test. All acceptable technical criteria documents shall be posted on the 
EPA Web site at the following URL, http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc.
    (iv) The owner or operator of an affected source shall submit the 
site-specific test plan to the Administrator upon the Administrator's 
request at least 60 calendar days before the performance test is 
scheduled to take place, that is, simultaneously with the notification 
of intention to conduct a performance test required under paragraph (b) 
of this section, or on a mutually agreed upon date.
    (v) The Administrator may request additional relevant information 
after the submittal of a site-specific test plan.
    (3) Approval of site-specific test plan. (i) The Administrator will 
notify the owner or operator of approval or intention to deny approval 
of the site-specific test plan (if review of the site-specific test plan 
is requested) within 30 calendar days after receipt of the original plan 
and within 30 calendar days after receipt of any supplementary 
information that is submitted under paragraph (c)(3)(i)(B) of this 
section. Before disapproving any site-specific

[[Page 42]]

test plan, the Administrator will notify the applicant of the 
Administrator's intention to disapprove the plan together with--
    (A) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended 
disapproval is based; and
    (B) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present, 
within 30 calendar days after he/she is notified of the intended 
disapproval, additional information to the Administrator before final 
action on the plan.
    (ii) In the event that the Administrator fails to approve or 
disapprove the site-specific test plan within the time period specified 
in paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section, the following conditions shall 
apply:
    (A) If the owner or operator intends to demonstrate compliance using 
the test method(s) specified in the relevant standard or with only minor 
changes to those tests methods (see paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this 
section), the owner or operator must conduct the performance test within 
the time specified in this section using the specified method(s);
    (B) If the owner or operator intends to demonstrate compliance by 
using an alternative to any test method specified in the relevant 
standard, the owner or operator is authorized to conduct the performance 
test using an alternative test method after the Administrator approves 
the use of the alternative method when the Administrator approves the 
site-specific test plan (if review of the site-specific test plan is 
requested) or after the alternative method is approved (see paragraph 
(f) of this section). However, the owner or operator is authorized to 
conduct the performance test using an alternative method in the absence 
of notification of approval 45 days after submission of the site-
specific test plan or request to use an alternative method. The owner or 
operator is authorized to conduct the performance test within 60 
calendar days after he/she is authorized to demonstrate compliance using 
an alternative test method. Notwithstanding the requirements in the 
preceding three sentences, the owner or operator may proceed to conduct 
the performance test as required in this section (without the 
Administrator's prior approval of the site-specific test plan) if he/she 
subsequently chooses to use the specified testing and monitoring methods 
instead of an alternative.
    (iii) Neither the submission of a site-specific test plan for 
approval, nor the Administrator's approval or disapproval of a plan, nor 
the Administrator's failure to approve or disapprove a plan in a timely 
manner shall--
    (A) Relieve an owner or operator of legal responsibility for 
compliance with any applicable provisions of this part or with any other 
applicable Federal, State, or local requirement; or
    (B) Prevent the Administrator from implementing or enforcing this 
part or taking any other action under the Act.
    (d) Performance testing facilities. If required to do performance 
testing, the owner or operator of each new source and, at the request of 
the Administrator, the owner or operator of each existing source, shall 
provide performance testing facilities as follows:
    (1) Sampling ports adequate for test methods applicable to such 
source. This includes:
    (i) Constructing the air pollution control system such that 
volumetric flow rates and pollutant emission rates can be accurately 
determined by applicable test methods and procedures; and
    (ii) Providing a stack or duct free of cyclonic flow during 
performance tests, as demonstrated by applicable test methods and 
procedures;
    (2) Safe sampling platform(s);
    (3) Safe access to sampling platform(s);
    (4) Utilities for sampling and testing equipment; and
    (5) Any other facilities that the Administrator deems necessary for 
safe and adequate testing of a source.
    (e) Conduct of performance tests. (1) Performance tests shall be 
conducted under such conditions as the Administrator specifies to the 
owner or operator based on representative performance (i.e., performance 
based on normal operating conditions) of the affected source. Operations 
during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction shall not 
constitute representative conditions for the purpose of a performance 
test, nor shall emissions in excess of the level of the relevant

[[Page 43]]

standard during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction be 
considered a violation of the relevant standard unless otherwise 
specified in the relevant standard or a determination of noncompliance 
is made under Sec.  63.6(e). Upon request, the owner or operator shall 
make available to the Administrator such records as may be necessary to 
determine the conditions of performance tests.
    (2) Performance tests shall be conducted and data shall be reduced 
in accordance with the test methods and procedures set forth in this 
section, in each relevant standard, and, if required, in applicable 
appendices of parts 51, 60, 61, and 63 of this chapter unless the 
Administrator--
    (i) Specifies or approves, in specific cases, the use of a test 
method with minor changes in methodology (see definition in Sec.  
63.90(a)). Such changes may be approved in conjunction with approval of 
the site-specific test plan (see paragraph (c) of this section); or
    (ii) Approves the use of an intermediate or major change or 
alternative to a test method (see definitions in Sec.  63.90(a)), the 
results of which the Administrator has determined to be adequate for 
indicating whether a specific affected source is in compliance; or
    (iii) Approves shorter sampling times or smaller sample volumes when 
necessitated by process variables or other factors; or
    (iv) Waives the requirement for performance tests because the owner 
or operator of an affected source has demonstrated by other means to the 
Administrator's satisfaction that the affected source is in compliance 
with the relevant standard.
    (3) Unless otherwise specified in a relevant standard or test 
method, each performance test shall consist of three separate runs using 
the applicable test method. Each run shall be conducted for the time and 
under the conditions specified in the relevant standard. For the purpose 
of determining compliance with a relevant standard, the arithmetic mean 
of the results of the three runs shall apply. Upon receiving approval 
from the Administrator, results of a test run may be replaced with 
results of an additional test run in the event that--
    (i) A sample is accidentally lost after the testing team leaves the 
site; or
    (ii) Conditions occur in which one of the three runs must be 
discontinued because of forced shutdown; or
    (iii) Extreme meteorological conditions occur; or
    (iv) Other circumstances occur that are beyond the owner or 
operator's control.
    (4) Nothing in paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(3) of this section 
shall be construed to abrogate the Administrator's authority to require 
testing under section 114 of the Act.
    (f) Use of an alternative test method--(1)General. Until authorized 
to use an intermediate or major change or alternative to a test method, 
the owner or operator of an affected source remains subject to the 
requirements of this section and the relevant standard.
    (2) The owner or operator of an affected source required to do 
performance testing by a relevant standard may use an alternative test 
method from that specified in the standard provided that the owner or 
operator--
    (i) Notifies the Administrator of his or her intention to use an 
alternative test method at least 60 days before the performance test is 
scheduled to begin;
    (ii) Uses Method 301 in appendix A of this part to validate the 
alternative test method. This may include the use of specific procedures 
of Method 301 if use of such procedures are sufficient to validate the 
alternative test method; and
    (iii) Submits the results of the Method 301 validation process along 
with the notification of intention and the justification for not using 
the specified test method. The owner or operator may submit the 
information required in this paragraph well in advance of the deadline 
specified in paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section to ensure a timely 
review by the Administrator in order to meet the performance test date 
specified in this section or the relevant standard.
    (3) The Administrator will determine whether the owner or operator's 
validation of the proposed alternative test method is adequate and issue 
an approval or disapproval of the alternative test method. If the owner 
or operator intends to demonstrate compliance by

[[Page 44]]

using an alternative to any test method specified in the relevant 
standard, the owner or operator is authorized to conduct the performance 
test using an alternative test method after the Administrator approves 
the use of the alternative method. However, the owner or operator is 
authorized to conduct the performance test using an alternative method 
in the absence of notification of approval/disapproval 45 days after 
submission of the request to use an alternative method and the request 
satisfies the requirements in paragraph (f)(2) of this section. The 
owner or operator is authorized to conduct the performance test within 
60 calendar days after he/she is authorized to demonstrate compliance 
using an alternative test method. Notwithstanding the requirements in 
the preceding three sentences, the owner or operator may proceed to 
conduct the performance test as required in this section (without the 
Administrator's prior approval of the site-specific test plan) if he/she 
subsequently chooses to use the specified testing and monitoring methods 
instead of an alternative.
    (4) If the Administrator finds reasonable grounds to dispute the 
results obtained by an alternative test method for the purposes of 
demonstrating compliance with a relevant standard, the Administrator may 
require the use of a test method specified in a relevant standard.
    (5) If the owner or operator uses an alternative test method for an 
affected source during a required performance test, the owner or 
operator of such source shall continue to use the alternative test 
method for subsequent performance tests at that affected source until he 
or she receives approval from the Administrator to use another test 
method as allowed under Sec.  63.7(f).
    (6) Neither the validation and approval process nor the failure to 
validate an alternative test method shall abrogate the owner or 
operator's responsibility to comply with the requirements of this part.
    (g) Data analysis, recordkeeping, and reporting. (1) Unless 
otherwise specified in a relevant standard or test method, or as 
otherwise approved by the Administrator in writing, results of a 
performance test shall include the analysis of samples, determination of 
emissions, and raw data. A performance test is ``completed'' when field 
sample collection is terminated. The owner or operator of an affected 
source shall report the results of the performance test to the 
Administrator before the close of business on the 60th day following the 
completion of the performance test, unless specified otherwise in a 
relevant standard or as approved otherwise in writing by the 
Administrator (see Sec.  63.9(i)). The results of the performance test 
shall be submitted as part of the notification of compliance status 
required under Sec.  63.9(h). Before a title V permit has been issued to 
the owner or operator of an affected source, the owner or operator shall 
send the results of the performance test to the Administrator. After a 
title V permit has been issued to the owner or operator of an affected 
source, the owner or operator shall send the results of the performance 
test to the appropriate permitting authority.
    (2) Contents of a performance test, CMS performance evaluation, or 
CMS quality assurance test report (electronic or paper submitted copy). 
Unless otherwise specified in a relevant standard, test method, CMS 
performance specification, or quality assurance requirement for a CMS, 
or as otherwise approved by the Administrator in writing, the report 
shall include the elements identified in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through 
(vi) of this section.
    (i) General identification information for the facility including a 
mailing address, the physical address, the owner or operator or 
responsible official (where applicable) and his/her email address, and 
the appropriate Federal Registry System (FRS) number for the facility.
    (ii) Purpose of the test including the applicable regulation 
requiring the test, the pollutant(s) and other parameters being 
measured, the applicable emission standard, and any process parameter 
component, and a brief process description.
    (iii) Description of the emission unit tested including fuel burned, 
control devices, and vent characteristics; the appropriate source 
classification code (SCC); the permitted maximum process

[[Page 45]]

rate (where applicable); and the sampling location.
    (iv) Description of sampling and analysis procedures used and any 
modifications to standard procedures, quality assurance procedures and 
results, record of process operating conditions that demonstrate the 
applicable test conditions are met, and values for any operating 
parameters for which limits were being set during the test.
    (v) Where a test method, CEMS, PEMS, or COMS performance 
specification, or on-going quality assurance requirement for a CEMS, 
PEMS, or COMS requires you record or report, the following shall be 
included in your report: Record of preparation of standards, record of 
calibrations, raw data sheets for field sampling, raw data sheets for 
field and laboratory analyses, chain-of-custody documentation, and 
example calculations for reported results.
    (vi) Identification of the company conducting the performance test 
including the primary office address, telephone number, and the contact 
for this test including his/her email address.
    (3) For a minimum of 5 years after a performance test is conducted, 
the owner or operator shall retain and make available, upon request, for 
inspection by the Administrator the records or results of such 
performance test and other data needed to determine emissions from an 
affected source.
    (h) Waiver of performance tests. (1) Until a waiver of a performance 
testing requirement has been granted by the Administrator under this 
paragraph, the owner or operator of an affected source remains subject 
to the requirements of this section.
    (2) Individual performance tests may be waived upon written 
application to the Administrator if, in the Administrator's judgment, 
the source is meeting the relevant standard(s) on a continuous basis, or 
the source is being operated under an extension of compliance, or the 
owner or operator has requested an extension of compliance and the 
Administrator is still considering that request.
    (3) Request to waive a performance test. (i) If a request is made 
for an extension of compliance under Sec.  63.6(i), the application for 
a waiver of an initial performance test shall accompany the information 
required for the request for an extension of compliance. If no extension 
of compliance is requested or if the owner or operator has requested an 
extension of compliance and the Administrator is still considering that 
request, the application for a waiver of an initial performance test 
shall be submitted at least 60 days before the performance test if the 
site-specific test plan under paragraph (c) of this section is not 
submitted.
    (ii) If an application for a waiver of a subsequent performance test 
is made, the application may accompany any required compliance progress 
report, compliance status report, or excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance report [such as those required under Sec.  
63.6(i), Sec.  63.9(h), and Sec.  63.10(e) or specified in a relevant 
standard or in the source's title V permit], but it shall be submitted 
at least 60 days before the performance test if the site-specific test 
plan required under paragraph (c) of this section is not submitted.
    (iii) Any application for a waiver of a performance test shall 
include information justifying the owner or operator's request for a 
waiver, such as the technical or economic infeasibility, or the 
impracticality, of the affected source performing the required test.
    (4) Approval of request to waive performance test. The Administrator 
will approve or deny a request for a waiver of a performance test made 
under paragraph (h)(3) of this section when he/she--
    (i) Approves or denies an extension of compliance under Sec.  
63.6(i)(8); or
    (ii) Approves or disapproves a site-specific test plan under Sec.  
63.7(c)(3); or
    (iii) Makes a determination of compliance following the submission 
of a required compliance status report or excess emissions and 
continuous monitoring systems performance report; or
    (iv) Makes a determination of suitable progress towards compliance 
following the submission of a compliance progress report, whichever is 
applicable.
    (5) Approval of any waiver granted under this section shall not 
abrogate

[[Page 46]]

the Administrator's authority under the Act or in any way prohibit the 
Administrator from later canceling the waiver. The cancellation will be 
made only after notice is given to the owner or operator of the affected 
source.

Sec.  63.8  Monitoring requirements.

    (a) Applicability. (1) The applicability of this section is set out 
in Sec.  63.1(a)(4).
    (2) For the purposes of this part, all CMS required under relevant 
standards shall be subject to the provisions of this section upon 
promulgation of performance specifications for CMS as specified in the 
relevant standard or otherwise by the Administrator.
    (3) [Reserved]
    (4) Additional monitoring requirements for control devices used to 
comply with provisions in relevant standards of this part are specified 
in Sec.  63.11.
    (b) Conduct of monitoring. (1) Monitoring shall be conducted as set 
forth in this section and the relevant standard(s) unless the 
Administrator--
    (i) Specifies or approves the use of minor changes in methodology 
for the specified monitoring requirements and procedures (see Sec.  
63.90(a) for definition); or
    (ii) Approves the use of an intermediate or major change or 
alternative to any monitoring requirements or procedures (see Sec.  
63.90(a) for definition).
    (iii) Owners or operators with flares subject to Sec.  63.11(b) are 
not subject to the requirements of this section unless otherwise 
specified in the relevant standard.
    (2)(i) When the emissions from two or more affected sources are 
combined before being released to the atmosphere, the owner or operator 
may install an applicable CMS for each emission stream or for the 
combined emissions streams, provided the monitoring is sufficient to 
demonstrate compliance with the relevant standard.
    (ii) If the relevant standard is a mass emission standard and the 
emissions from one affected source are released to the atmosphere 
through more than one point, the owner or operator must install an 
applicable CMS at each emission point unless the installation of fewer 
systems is--
    (A) Approved by the Administrator; or
    (B) Provided for in a relevant standard (e.g., instead of requiring 
that a CMS be installed at each emission point before the effluents from 
those points are channeled to a common control device, the standard 
specifies that only one CMS is required to be installed at the vent of 
the control device).
    (3) When more than one CMS is used to measure the emissions from one 
affected source (e.g., multiple breechings, multiple outlets), the owner 
or operator shall report the results as required for each CMS. However, 
when one CMS is used as a backup to another CMS, the owner or operator 
shall report the results from the CMS used to meet the monitoring 
requirements of this part. If both such CMS are used during a particular 
reporting period to meet the monitoring requirements of this part, then 
the owner or operator shall report the results from each CMS for the 
relevant compliance period.
    (c) Operation and maintenance of continuous monitoring systems. (1) 
The owner or operator of an affected source shall maintain and operate 
each CMS as specified in this section, or in a relevant standard, and in 
a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices. (i) The 
owner or operator of an affected source must maintain and operate each 
CMS as specified in Sec.  63.6(e)(1).
    (ii) The owner or operator must keep the necessary parts for routine 
repairs of the affected CMS equipment readily available.
    (iii) The owner or operator of an affected source must develop a 
written startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan for CMS as specified in 
Sec.  63.6(e)(3).
    (2)(i) All CMS must be installed such that representative measures 
of emissions or process parameters from the affected source are 
obtained. In addition, CEMS must be located according to procedures 
contained in the applicable performance specification(s).
    (ii) Unless the individual subpart states otherwise, the owner or 
operator must ensure the read out (that portion

[[Page 47]]

of the CMS that provides a visual display or record), or other 
indication of operation, from any CMS required for compliance with the 
emission standard is readily accessible on site for operational control 
or inspection by the operator of the equipment.
    (3) All CMS shall be installed, operational, and the data verified 
as specified in the relevant standard either prior to or in conjunction 
with conducting performance tests under Sec.  63.7. Verification of 
operational status shall, at a minimum, include completion of the 
manufacturer's written specifications or recommendations for 
installation, operation, and calibration of the system.
    (4) Except for system breakdowns, out-of-control periods, repairs, 
maintenance periods, calibration checks, and zero (low-level) and high-
level calibration drift adjustments, all CMS, including COMS and CEMS, 
shall be in continuous operation and shall meet minimum frequency of 
operation requirements as follows:
    (i) All COMS shall complete a minimum of one cycle of sampling and 
analyzing for each successive 10-second period and one cycle of data 
recording for each successive 6-minute period.
    (ii) All CEMS for measuring emissions other than opacity shall 
complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and 
data recording) for each successive 15-minute period.
    (5) Unless otherwise approved by the Administrator, minimum 
procedures for COMS shall include a method for producing a simulated 
zero opacity condition and an upscale (high-level) opacity condition 
using a certified neutral density filter or other related technique to 
produce a known obscuration of the light beam. Such procedures shall 
provide a system check of all the analyzer's internal optical surfaces 
and all electronic circuitry, including the lamp and photodetector 
assembly normally used in the measurement of opacity.
    (6) The owner or operator of a CMS that is not a CPMS, which is 
installed in accordance with the provisions of this part and the 
applicable CMS performance specification(s), must check the zero (low-
level) and high-level calibration drifts at least once daily in 
accordance with the written procedure specified in the performance 
evaluation plan developed under paragraphs (e)(3)(i) and (ii) of this 
section. The zero (low-level) and high-level calibration drifts must be 
adjusted, at a minimum, whenever the 24-hour zero (low-level) drift 
exceeds two times the limits of the applicable performance 
specification(s) specified in the relevant standard. The system shall 
allow the amount of excess zero (low-level) and high-level drift 
measured at the 24-hour interval checks to be recorded and quantified 
whenever specified. For COMS, all optical and instrumental surfaces 
exposed to the effluent gases must be cleaned prior to performing the 
zero (low-level) and high-level drift adjustments; the optical surfaces 
and instrumental surfaces must be cleaned when the cumulative automatic 
zero compensation, if applicable, exceeds 4 percent opacity. The CPMS 
must be calibrated prior to use for the purposes of complying with this 
section. The CPMS must be checked daily for indication that the system 
is responding. If the CPMS system includes an internal system check, 
results must be recorded and checked daily for proper operation.
    (7)(i) A CMS is out of control if--
    (A) The zero (low-level), mid-level (if applicable), or high-level 
calibration drift (CD) exceeds two times the applicable CD specification 
in the applicable performance specification or in the relevant standard; 
or
    (B) The CMS fails a performance test audit (e.g., cylinder gas 
audit), relative accuracy audit, relative accuracy test audit, or 
linearity test audit; or
    (C) The COMS CD exceeds two times the limit in the applicable 
performance specification in the relevant standard.
    (ii) When the CMS is out of control, the owner or operator of the 
affected source shall take the necessary corrective action and shall 
repeat all necessary tests which indicate that the system is out of 
control. The owner or operator shall take corrective action and conduct 
retesting until the performance requirements are below the applicable 
limits. The beginning of the out-of-control period is the hour the owner 
or operator conducts a performance check (e.g., calibration drift) that

[[Page 48]]

indicates an exceedance of the performance requirements established 
under this part. The end of the out-of-control period is the hour 
following the completion of corrective action and successful 
demonstration that the system is within the allowable limits. During the 
period the CMS is out of control, recorded data shall not be used in 
data averages and calculations, or to meet any data availability 
requirement established under this part.
    (8) The owner or operator of a CMS that is out of control as defined 
in paragraph (c)(7) of this section shall submit all information 
concerning out-of-control periods, including start and end dates and 
hours and descriptions of corrective actions taken, in the excess 
emissions and continuous monitoring system performance report required 
in Sec.  63.10(e)(3).
    (d) Quality control program. (1) The results of the quality control 
program required in this paragraph will be considered by the 
Administrator when he/she determines the validity of monitoring data.
    (2) The owner or operator of an affected source that is required to 
use a CMS and is subject to the monitoring requirements of this section 
and a relevant standard shall develop and implement a CMS quality 
control program. As part of the quality control program, the owner or 
operator shall develop and submit to the Administrator for approval upon 
request a site-specific performance evaluation test plan for the CMS 
performance evaluation required in paragraph (e)(3)(i) of this section, 
according to the procedures specified in paragraph (e). In addition, 
each quality control program shall include, at a minimum, a written 
protocol that describes procedures for each of the following operations:
    (i) Initial and any subsequent calibration of the CMS;
    (ii) Determination and adjustment of the calibration drift of the 
CMS;
    (iii) Preventive maintenance of the CMS, including spare parts 
inventory;
    (iv) Data recording, calculations, and reporting;
    (v) Accuracy audit procedures, including sampling and analysis 
methods; and
    (vi) Program of corrective action for a malfunctioning CMS.
    (3) The owner or operator shall keep these written procedures on 
record for the life of the affected source or until the affected source 
is no longer subject to the provisions of this part, to be made 
available for inspection, upon request, by the Administrator. If the 
performance evaluation plan is revised, the owner or operator shall keep 
previous (i.e., superseded) versions of the performance evaluation plan 
on record to be made available for inspection, upon request, by the 
Administrator, for a period of 5 years after each revision to the plan. 
Where relevant, e.g., program of corrective action for a malfunctioning 
CMS, these written procedures may be incorporated as part of the 
affected source's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan to avoid 
duplication of planning and recordkeeping efforts.
    (e) Performance evaluation of continuous monitoring systems--(1) 
General. When required by a relevant standard, and at any other time the 
Administrator may require under section 114 of the Act, the owner or 
operator of an affected source being monitored shall conduct a 
performance evaluation of the CMS. Such performance evaluation shall be 
conducted according to the applicable specifications and procedures 
described in this section or in the relevant standard.
    (2) Notification of performance evaluation. The owner or operator 
shall notify the Administrator in writing of the date of the performance 
evaluation simultaneously with the notification of the performance test 
date required under Sec.  63.7(b) or at least 60 days prior to the date 
the performance evaluation is scheduled to begin if no performance test 
is required.
    (3)(i) Submission of site-specific performance evaluation test plan. 
Before conducting a required CMS performance evaluation, the owner or 
operator of an affected source shall develop and submit a site-specific 
performance evaluation test plan to the Administrator for approval upon 
request. The performance evaluation test plan shall include the 
evaluation program objectives, an evaluation program summary, the 
performance evaluation schedule,

[[Page 49]]

data quality objectives, and both an internal and external QA program. 
Data quality objectives are the pre-evaluation expectations of 
precision, accuracy, and completeness of data.
    (ii) The internal QA program shall include, at a minimum, the 
activities planned by routine operators and analysts to provide an 
assessment of CMS performance. The external QA program shall include, at 
a minimum, systems audits that include the opportunity for on-site 
evaluation by the Administrator of instrument calibration, data 
validation, sample logging, and documentation of quality control data 
and field maintenance activities.
    (iii) The owner or operator of an affected source shall submit the 
site-specific performance evaluation test plan to the Administrator (if 
requested) at least 60 days before the performance test or performance 
evaluation is scheduled to begin, or on a mutually agreed upon date, and 
review and approval of the performance evaluation test plan by the 
Administrator will occur with the review and approval of the site-
specific test plan (if review of the site-specific test plan is 
requested).
    (iv) The Administrator may request additional relevant information 
after the submittal of a site-specific performance evaluation test plan.
    (v) In the event that the Administrator fails to approve or 
disapprove the site-specific performance evaluation test plan within the 
time period specified in Sec.  63.7(c)(3), the following conditions 
shall apply:
    (A) If the owner or operator intends to demonstrate compliance using 
the monitoring method(s) specified in the relevant standard, the owner 
or operator shall conduct the performance evaluation within the time 
specified in this subpart using the specified method(s);
    (B) If the owner or operator intends to demonstrate compliance by 
using an alternative to a monitoring method specified in the relevant 
standard, the owner or operator shall refrain from conducting the 
performance evaluation until the Administrator approves the use of the 
alternative method. If the Administrator does not approve the use of the 
alternative method within 30 days before the performance evaluation is 
scheduled to begin, the performance evaluation deadlines specified in 
paragraph (e)(4) of this section may be extended such that the owner or 
operator shall conduct the performance evaluation within 60 calendar 
days after the Administrator approves the use of the alternative method. 
Notwithstanding the requirements in the preceding two sentences, the 
owner or operator may proceed to conduct the performance evaluation as 
required in this section (without the Administrator's prior approval of 
the site-specific performance evaluation test plan) if he/she 
subsequently chooses to use the specified monitoring method(s) instead 
of an alternative.
    (vi) Neither the submission of a site-specific performance 
evaluation test plan for approval, nor the Administrator's approval or 
disapproval of a plan, nor the Administrator's failure to approve or 
disapprove a plan in a timely manner shall--
    (A) Relieve an owner or operator of legal responsibility for 
compliance with any applicable provisions of this part or with any other 
applicable Federal, State, or local requirement; or
    (B) Prevent the Administrator from implementing or enforcing this 
part or taking any other action under the Act.
    (4) Conduct of performance evaluation and performance evaluation 
dates. The owner or operator of an affected source shall conduct a 
performance evaluation of a required CMS during any performance test 
required under Sec.  63.7 in accordance with the applicable performance 
specification as specified in the relevant standard. Notwithstanding the 
requirement in the previous sentence, if the owner or operator of an 
affected source elects to submit COMS data for compliance with a 
relevant opacity emission standard as provided under Sec.  63.6(h)(7), 
he/she shall conduct a performance evaluation of the COMS as specified 
in the relevant standard, before the performance test required under 
Sec.  63.7 is conducted in time to submit the results of the performance 
evaluation as specified in paragraph (e)(5)(ii) of this section. If a 
performance test is not required, or the requirement for a performance 
test has been waived under Sec.  63.7(h), the owner or operator of an 
affected source shall

[[Page 50]]

conduct the performance evaluation not later than 180 days after the 
appropriate compliance date for the affected source, as specified in 
Sec.  63.7(a), or as otherwise specified in the relevant standard.
    (5) Reporting performance evaluation results. (i) The owner or 
operator shall furnish the Administrator a copy of a written report of 
the results of the performance evaluation containing the information 
specified in Sec.  63.7(g)(2)(i) through (vi) simultaneously with the 
results of the performance test required under Sec.  63.7 or within 60 
days of completion of the performance evaluation, unless otherwise 
specified in a relevant standard.
    (ii) The owner or operator of an affected source using a COMS to 
determine opacity compliance during any performance test required under 
Sec.  63.7 and described in Sec.  63.6(d)(6) shall furnish the 
Administrator two or, upon request, three copies of a written report of 
the results of the COMS performance evaluation under this paragraph. The 
copies shall be provided at least 15 calendar days before the 
performance test required under Sec.  63.7 is conducted.
    (f) Use of an alternative monitoring method--(1) General. Until 
permission to use an alternative monitoring procedure (minor, 
intermediate, or major changes; see definition in Sec.  63.90(a)) has 
been granted by the Administrator under this paragraph (f)(1), the owner 
or operator of an affected source remains subject to the requirements of 
this section and the relevant standard.
    (2) After receipt and consideration of written application, the 
Administrator may approve alternatives to any monitoring methods or 
procedures of this part including, but not limited to, the following:
    (i) Alternative monitoring requirements when installation of a CMS 
specified by a relevant standard would not provide accurate measurements 
due to liquid water or other interferences caused by substances within 
the effluent gases;
    (ii) Alternative monitoring requirements when the affected source is 
infrequently operated;
    (iii) Alternative monitoring requirements to accommodate CEMS that 
require additional measurements to correct for stack moisture 
conditions;
    (iv) Alternative locations for installing CMS when the owner or 
operator can demonstrate that installation at alternate locations will 
enable accurate and representative measurements;
    (v) Alternate methods for converting pollutant concentration 
measurements to units of the relevant standard;
    (vi) Alternate procedures for performing daily checks of zero (low-
level) and high-level drift that do not involve use of high-level gases 
or test cells;
    (vii) Alternatives to the American Society for Testing and Materials 
(ASTM) test methods or sampling procedures specified by any relevant 
standard;
    (viii) Alternative CMS that do not meet the design or performance 
requirements in this part, but adequately demonstrate a definite and 
consistent relationship between their measurements and the measurements 
of opacity by a system complying with the requirements as specified in 
the relevant standard. The Administrator may require that such 
demonstration be performed for each affected source; or
    (ix) Alternative monitoring requirements when the effluent from a 
single affected source or the combined effluent from two or more 
affected sources is released to the atmosphere through more than one 
point.
    (3) If the Administrator finds reasonable grounds to dispute the 
results obtained by an alternative monitoring method, requirement, or 
procedure, the Administrator may require the use of a method, 
requirement, or procedure specified in this section or in the relevant 
standard. If the results of the specified and alternative method, 
requirement, or procedure do not agree, the results obtained by the 
specified method, requirement, or procedure shall prevail.
    (4)(i) Request to use alternative monitoring procedure. An owner or 
operator who wishes to use an alternative monitoring procedure must 
submit an application to the Administrator as described in paragraph 
(f)(4)(ii) of this section. The application may be submitted at any time 
provided that the

[[Page 51]]

monitoring procedure is not the performance test method used to 
demonstrate compliance with a relevant standard or other requirement. If 
the alternative monitoring procedure will serve as the performance test 
method that is to be used to demonstrate compliance with a relevant 
standard, the application must be submitted at least 60 days before the 
performance evaluation is scheduled to begin and must meet the 
requirements for an alternative test method under Sec.  63.7(f).
    (ii) The application must contain a description of the proposed 
alternative monitoring system which addresses the four elements 
contained in the definition of monitoring in Sec.  63.2 and a 
performance evaluation test plan, if required, as specified in paragraph 
(e)(3) of this section. In addition, the application must include 
information justifying the owner or operator's request for an 
alternative monitoring method, such as the technical or economic 
infeasibility, or the impracticality, of the affected source using the 
required method.
    (iii) The owner or operator may submit the information required in 
this paragraph well in advance of the submittal dates specified in 
paragraph (f)(4)(i) above to ensure a timely review by the Administrator 
in order to meet the compliance demonstration date specified in this 
section or the relevant standard.
    (iv) Application for minor changes to monitoring procedures, as 
specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, may be made in the site-
specific performance evaluation plan.
    (5) Approval of request to use alternative monitoring procedure. (i) 
The Administrator will notify the owner or operator of approval or 
intention to deny approval of the request to use an alternative 
monitoring method within 30 calendar days after receipt of the original 
request and within 30 calendar days after receipt of any supplementary 
information that is submitted. If a request for a minor change is made 
in conjunction with site-specific performance evaluation plan, then 
approval of the plan will constitute approval of the minor change. 
Before disapproving any request to use an alternative monitoring method, 
the Administrator will notify the applicant of the Administrator's 
intention to disapprove the request together with--
    (A) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended 
disapproval is based; and
    (B) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present 
additional information to the Administrator before final action on the 
request. At the time the Administrator notifies the applicant of his or 
her intention to disapprove the request, the Administrator will specify 
how much time the owner or operator will have after being notified of 
the intended disapproval to submit the additional information.
    (ii) The Administrator may establish general procedures and criteria 
in a relevant standard to accomplish the requirements of paragraph 
(f)(5)(i) of this section.
    (iii) If the Administrator approves the use of an alternative 
monitoring method for an affected source under paragraph (f)(5)(i) of 
this section, the owner or operator of such source shall continue to use 
the alternative monitoring method until he or she receives approval from 
the Administrator to use another monitoring method as allowed by Sec.  
63.8(f).
    (6) Alternative to the relative accuracy test. An alternative to the 
relative accuracy test for CEMS specified in a relevant standard may be 
requested as follows:
    (i) Criteria for approval of alternative procedures. An alternative 
to the test method for determining relative accuracy is available for 
affected sources with emission rates demonstrated to be less than 50 
percent of the relevant standard. The owner or operator of an affected 
source may petition the Administrator under paragraph (f)(6)(ii) of this 
section to substitute the relative accuracy test in section 7 of 
Performance Specification 2 with the procedures in section 10 if the 
results of a performance test conducted according to the requirements in 
Sec.  63.7, or other tests performed following the criteria in Sec.  
63.7, demonstrate that the emission rate of the pollutant of interest in 
the units of the relevant standard is less than 50 percent of the 
relevant standard. For affected sources subject to

[[Page 52]]

emission limitations expressed as control efficiency levels, the owner 
or operator may petition the Administrator to substitute the relative 
accuracy test with the procedures in section 10 of Performance 
Specification 2 if the control device exhaust emission rate is less than 
50 percent of the level needed to meet the control efficiency 
requirement. The alternative procedures do not apply if the CEMS is used 
continuously to determine compliance with the relevant standard.
    (ii) Petition to use alternative to relative accuracy test. The 
petition to use an alternative to the relative accuracy test shall 
include a detailed description of the procedures to be applied, the 
location and the procedure for conducting the alternative, the 
concentration or response levels of the alternative relative accuracy 
materials, and the other equipment checks included in the alternative 
procedure(s). The Administrator will review the petition for 
completeness and applicability. The Administrator's determination to 
approve an alternative will depend on the intended use of the CEMS data 
and may require specifications more stringent than in Performance 
Specification 2.
    (iii) Rescission of approval to use alternative to relative accuracy 
test. The Administrator will review the permission to use an alternative 
to the CEMS relative accuracy test and may rescind such permission if 
the CEMS data from a successful completion of the alternative relative 
accuracy procedure indicate that the affected source's emissions are 
approaching the level of the relevant standard. The criterion for 
reviewing the permission is that the collection of CEMS data shows that 
emissions have exceeded 70 percent of the relevant standard for any 
averaging period, as specified in the relevant standard. For affected 
sources subject to emission limitations expressed as control efficiency 
levels, the criterion for reviewing the permission is that the 
collection of CEMS data shows that exhaust emissions have exceeded 70 
percent of the level needed to meet the control efficiency requirement 
for any averaging period, as specified in the relevant standard. The 
owner or operator of the affected source shall maintain records and 
determine the level of emissions relative to the criterion for 
permission to use an alternative for relative accuracy testing. If this 
criterion is exceeded, the owner or operator shall notify the 
Administrator within 10 days of such occurrence and include a 
description of the nature and cause of the increased emissions. The 
Administrator will review the notification and may rescind permission to 
use an alternative and require the owner or operator to conduct a 
relative accuracy test of the CEMS as specified in section 7 of 
Performance Specification 2. The Administrator will review the 
notification and may rescind permission to use an alternative and 
require the owner or operator to conduct a relative accuracy test of the 
CEMS as specified in section 8.4 of Performance Specification 2.
    (g) Reduction of monitoring data. (1) The owner or operator of each 
CMS must reduce the monitoring data as specified in paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (5) of this section.
    (2) The owner or operator of each COMS shall reduce all data to 6-
minute averages calculated from 36 or more data points equally spaced 
over each 6-minute period. Data from CEMS for measurement other than 
opacity, unless otherwise specified in the relevant standard, shall be 
reduced to 1-hour averages computed from four or more data points 
equally spaced over each 1-hour period, except during periods when 
calibration, quality assurance, or maintenance activities pursuant to 
provisions of this part are being performed. During these periods, a 
valid hourly average shall consist of at least two data points with each 
representing a 15-minute period. Alternatively, an arithmetic or 
integrated 1-hour average of CEMS data may be used. Time periods for 
averaging are defined in Sec.  63.2.
    (3) The data may be recorded in reduced or nonreduced form (e.g., 
ppm pollutant and percent O2 or ng/J of pollutant).
    (4) All emission data shall be converted into units of the relevant 
standard for reporting purposes using the conversion procedures 
specified in that standard. After conversion into units of the relevant 
standard, the data may

[[Page 53]]

be rounded to the same number of significant digits as used in that 
standard to specify the emission limit (e.g., rounded to the nearest 1 
percent opacity).
    (5) Monitoring data recorded during periods of unavoidable CMS 
breakdowns, out-of-control periods, repairs, maintenance periods, 
calibration checks, and zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments must 
not be included in any data average computed under this part. For the 
owner or operator complying with the requirements of Sec.  
63.10(b)(2)(vii)(A) or (B), data averages must include any data recorded 
during periods of monitor breakdown or malfunction.

    (a) Applicability and general information. (1) The applicability of 
this section is set out in Sec.  63.1(a)(4).
    (2) For affected sources that have been granted an extension of 
compliance under subpart D of this part, the requirements of this 
section do not apply to those sources while they are operating under 
such compliance extensions.
    (3) If any State requires a notice that contains all the information 
required in a notification listed in this section, the owner or operator 
may send the Administrator a copy of the notice sent to the State to 
satisfy the requirements of this section for that notification.
    (4)(i) Before a State has been delegated the authority to implement 
and enforce notification requirements established under this part, the 
owner or operator of an affected source in such State subject to such 
requirements shall submit notifications to the appropriate Regional 
Office of the EPA (to the attention of the Director of the Division 
indicated in the list of the EPA Regional Offices in Sec.  63.13).
    (ii) After a State has been delegated the authority to implement and 
enforce notification requirements established under this part, the owner 
or operator of an affected source in such State subject to such 
requirements shall submit notifications to the delegated State authority 
(which may be the same as the permitting authority). In addition, if the 
delegated (permitting) authority is the State, the owner or operator 
shall send a copy of each notification submitted to the State to the 
appropriate Regional Office of the EPA, as specified in paragraph 
(a)(4)(i) of this section. The Regional Office may waive this 
requirement for any notifications at its discretion.
    (b) Initial notifications. (1)(i) The requirements of this paragraph 
apply to the owner or operator of an affected source when such source 
becomes subject to a relevant standard.
    (ii) If an area source subsequently becomes a major source that is 
subject to the emission standard or other requirement, such source shall 
be subject to the notification requirements of this section. Area 
sources previously subject to major source requirements that become 
major sources again are also subject to the notification requirements of 
this paragraph and must submit the notification according to the 
requirements of paragraph (k) of this section.
    (iii) Affected sources that are required under this paragraph to 
submit an initial notification may use the application for approval of 
construction or reconstruction under Sec.  63.5(d) of this subpart, if 
relevant, to fulfill the initial notification requirements of this 
paragraph.
    (2) The owner or operator of an affected source that has an initial 
startup before the effective date of a relevant standard under this part 
shall notify the Administrator in writing that the source is subject to 
the relevant standard. The notification, which shall be submitted not 
later than 120 calendar days after the effective date of the relevant 
standard (or within 120 calendar days after the source becomes subject 
to the relevant standard), shall provide the following information:
    (i) The name and address of the owner or operator;
    (ii) The address (i.e., physical location) of the affected source;
    (iii) An identification of the relevant standard, or other 
requirement, that is

[[Page 54]]

the basis of the notification and the source's compliance date;
    (iv) A brief description of the nature, size, design, and method of 
operation of the source and an identification of the types of emission 
points within the affected source subject to the relevant standard and 
types of hazardous air pollutants emitted; and
    (v) A statement of whether the affected source is a major source or 
an area source.
    (3) [Reserved]
    (4) The owner or operator of a new or reconstructed major affected 
source for which an application for approval of construction or 
reconstruction is required under Sec.  63.5(d) must provide the 
following information in writing to the Administrator:
    (i) A notification of intention to construct a new major-emitting 
affected source, reconstruct a major-emitting affected source, or 
reconstruct a major source such that the source becomes a major-emitting 
affected source with the application for approval of construction or 
reconstruction as specified in Sec.  63.5(d)(1)(i); and
    (ii)-(iv) [Reserved]
    (v) A notification of the actual date of startup of the source, 
delivered or postmarked within 15 calendar days after that date.
    (5) The owner or operator of a new or reconstructed affected source 
for which an application for approval of construction or reconstruction 
is not required under Sec.  63.5(d) must provide the following 
information in writing to the Administrator:
    (i) A notification of intention to construct a new affected source, 
reconstruct an affected source, or reconstruct a source such that the 
source becomes an affected source, and
    (ii) A notification of the actual date of startup of the source, 
delivered or postmarked within 15 calendar days after that date.
    (iii) Unless the owner or operator has requested and received prior 
permission from the Administrator to submit less than the information in 
Sec.  63.5(d), the notification must include the information required on 
the application for approval of construction or reconstruction as 
specified in Sec.  63.5(d)(1)(i).
    (c) Request for extension of compliance. If the owner or operator of 
an affected source cannot comply with a relevant standard by the 
applicable compliance date for that source, or if the owner or operator 
has installed BACT or technology to meet LAER consistent with Sec.  
63.6(i)(5) of this subpart, he/she may submit to the Administrator (or 
the State with an approved permit program) a request for an extension of 
compliance as specified in Sec.  63.6(i)(4) through Sec.  63.6(i)(6).
    (d) Notification that source is subject to special compliance 
requirements. An owner or operator of a new source that is subject to 
special compliance requirements as specified in Sec.  63.6(b)(3) and 
Sec.  63.6(b)(4) shall notify the Administrator of his/her compliance 
obligations not later than the notification dates established in 
paragraph (b) of this section for new sources that are not subject to 
the special provisions.
    (e) Notification of performance test. The owner or operator of an 
affected source shall notify the Administrator in writing of his or her 
intention to conduct a performance test at least 60 calendar days before 
the performance test is scheduled to begin to allow the Administrator to 
review and approve the site-specific test plan required under Sec.  
63.7(c), if requested by the Administrator, and to have an observer 
present during the test.
    (f) Notification of opacity and visible emission observations. The 
owner or operator of an affected source shall notify the Administrator 
in writing of the anticipated date for conducting the opacity or visible 
emission observations specified in Sec.  63.6(h)(5), if such 
observations are required for the source by a relevant standard. The 
notification shall be submitted with the notification of the performance 
test date, as specified in paragraph (e) of this section, or if no 
performance test is required or visibility or other conditions prevent 
the opacity or visible emission observations from being conducted 
concurrently with the initial performance test required under Sec.  
63.7, the owner or operator shall deliver or postmark the notification 
not less than 30 days before the opacity or visible emission 
observations are scheduled to take place.

[[Page 55]]

    (g) Additional notification requirements for sources with continuous 
monitoring systems. The owner or operator of an affected source required 
to use a CMS by a relevant standard shall furnish the Administrator 
written notification as follows:
    (1) A notification of the date the CMS performance evaluation under 
Sec.  63.8(e) is scheduled to begin, submitted simultaneously with the 
notification of the performance test date required under Sec.  63.7(b). 
If no performance test is required, or if the requirement to conduct a 
performance test has been waived for an affected source under Sec.  
63.7(h), the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator in writing 
of the date of the performance evaluation at least 60 calendar days 
before the evaluation is scheduled to begin;
    (2) A notification that COMS data results will be used to determine 
compliance with the applicable opacity emission standard during a 
performance test required by Sec.  63.7 in lieu of Method 9 or other 
opacity emissions test method data, as allowed by Sec.  63.6(h)(7)(ii), 
if compliance with an opacity emission standard is required for the 
source by a relevant standard. The notification shall be submitted at 
least 60 calendar days before the performance test is scheduled to 
begin; and
    (3) A notification that the criterion necessary to continue use of 
an alternative to relative accuracy testing, as provided by Sec.  
63.8(f)(6), has been exceeded. The notification shall be delivered or 
postmarked not later than 10 days after the occurrence of such 
exceedance, and it shall include a description of the nature and cause 
of the increased emissions.
    (h) Notification of compliance status. (1) The requirements of 
paragraphs (h)(2) through (h)(4) of this section apply when an affected 
source becomes subject to a relevant standard.
    (2)(i) Before a title V permit has been issued to the owner or 
operator of an affected source, and each time a notification of 
compliance status is required under this part, the owner or operator of 
such source shall submit to the Administrator a notification of 
compliance status, signed by the responsible official who shall certify 
its accuracy, attesting to whether the source has complied with the 
relevant standard. The notification shall list--
    (A) The methods that were used to determine compliance;
    (B) The results of any performance tests, opacity or visible 
emission observations, continuous monitoring system (CMS) performance 
evaluations, and/or other monitoring procedures or methods that were 
conducted;
    (C) The methods that will be used for determining continuing 
compliance, including a description of monitoring and reporting 
requirements and test methods;
    (D) The type and quantity of hazardous air pollutants emitted by the 
source (or surrogate pollutants if specified in the relevant standard), 
reported in units and averaging times and in accordance with the test 
methods specified in the relevant standard;
    (E) If the relevant standard applies to both major and area sources, 
an analysis demonstrating whether the affected source is a major source 
(using the emissions data generated for this notification);
    (F) A description of the air pollution control equipment (or method) 
for each emission point, including each control device (or method) for 
each hazardous air pollutant and the control efficiency (percent) for 
each control device (or method); and
    (G) A statement by the owner or operator of the affected existing, 
new, or reconstructed source as to whether the source has complied with 
the relevant standard or other requirements.
    (ii) The notification must be sent before the close of business on 
the 60th day following the completion of the relevant compliance 
demonstration activity specified in the relevant standard (unless a 
different reporting period is specified in the standard, in which case 
the letter must be sent before the close of business on the day the 
report of the relevant testing or monitoring results is required to be 
delivered or postmarked). For example, the notification shall be sent 
before close of business on the 60th (or other required) day following 
completion of the initial performance test and again before the close of 
business on the 60th (or other required) day following the completion

[[Page 56]]

of any subsequent required performance test. If no performance test is 
required but opacity or visible emission observations are required to 
demonstrate compliance with an opacity or visible emission standard 
under this part, the notification of compliance status shall be sent 
before close of business on the 30th day following the completion of 
opacity or visible emission observations. Notifications may be combined 
as long as the due date requirement for each notification is met.
    (3) After a title V permit has been issued to the owner or operator 
of an affected source, the owner or operator of such source shall comply 
with all requirements for compliance status reports contained in the 
source's title V permit, including reports required under this part. 
After a title V permit has been issued to the owner or operator of an 
affected source, and each time a notification of compliance status is 
required under this part, the owner or operator of such source shall 
submit the notification of compliance status to the appropriate 
permitting authority following completion of the relevant compliance 
demonstration activity specified in the relevant standard.
    (4) [Reserved]
    (5) If an owner or operator of an affected source submits estimates 
or preliminary information in the application for approval of 
construction or reconstruction required in Sec.  63.5(d) in place of the 
actual emissions data or control efficiencies required in paragraphs 
(d)(1)(ii)(H) and (d)(2) of Sec.  63.5, the owner or operator shall 
submit the actual emissions data and other correct information as soon 
as available but no later than with the initial notification of 
compliance status required in this section.
    (6) Advice on a notification of compliance status may be obtained 
from the Administrator.
    (i) Adjustment to time periods or postmark deadlines for submittal 
and review of required communications. (1)(i) Until an adjustment of a 
time period or postmark deadline has been approved by the Administrator 
under paragraphs (i)(2) and (i)(3) of this section, the owner or 
operator of an affected source remains strictly subject to the 
requirements of this part.
    (ii) An owner or operator shall request the adjustment provided for 
in paragraphs (i)(2) and (i)(3) of this section each time he or she 
wishes to change an applicable time period or postmark deadline 
specified in this part.
    (2) Notwithstanding time periods or postmark deadlines specified in 
this part for the submittal of information to the Administrator by an 
owner or operator, or the review of such information by the 
Administrator, such time periods or deadlines may be changed by mutual 
agreement between the owner or operator and the Administrator. An owner 
or operator who wishes to request a change in a time period or postmark 
deadline for a particular requirement shall request the adjustment in 
writing as soon as practicable before the subject activity is required 
to take place. The owner or operator shall include in the request 
whatever information he or she considers useful to convince the 
Administrator that an adjustment is warranted.
    (3) If, in the Administrator's judgment, an owner or operator's 
request for an adjustment to a particular time period or postmark 
deadline is warranted, the Administrator will approve the adjustment. 
The Administrator will notify the owner or operator in writing of 
approval or disapproval of the request for an adjustment within 15 
calendar days of receiving sufficient information to evaluate the 
request.
    (4) If the Administrator is unable to meet a specified deadline, he 
or she will notify the owner or operator of any significant delay and 
inform the owner or operator of the amended schedule.
    (j) Change in information already provided. Any change in the 
information already provided under this section shall be provided to the 
Administrator within 15 calendar days after the change. The owner or 
operator of a major source that reclassifies to area source status is 
also subject to the notification requirements of this paragraph. The 
owner or operator may use the application for reclassification with the 
regulatory authority (e.g.,

[[Page 57]]

permit application) to fulfill the requirements of this paragraph. A 
source which reclassified after January 25, 2018, and before January 19, 
2021, and has not yet provided the notification of a change in 
information is required to provide such notification no later than 
February 2, 2021, according to the requirements of paragraph (k) of this 
section. Beginning January 19, 2021, the owner or operator of a major 
source that reclassifies to area source status must submit the 
notification according to the requirements of paragraph (k) of this 
section. A notification of reclassification must contain the following 
information:
    (1) The name and address of the owner or operator;
    (2) The address (i.e., physical location) of the affected source;
    (3) An identification of the standard being reclassified from and to 
(if applicable); and
    (4) Date of effectiveness of the reclassification.
    (k) Electronic submission of notifications or reports. If you are 
required to submit notifications or reports following the procedure 
specified in this paragraph (k), you must submit notifications or 
reports to the EPA via CEDRI, which can be accessed through the EPA's 
Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The notification or 
report must be submitted by the deadline specified. The EPA will make 
all the information submitted through CEDRI available to the public 
without further notice to you. Do not use CEDRI to submit information 
you claim as confidential business information (CBI). Anything submitted 
using CEDRI cannot later be claimed to be CBI. Although we do not expect 
persons to assert a claim of CBI, if persons wish to assert a CBI, 
submit a complete notification or report, including information claimed 
to be CBI, to the EPA. Submit the file on a compact disc, flash drive, 
or other commonly used electronic storage medium and clearly mark the 
medium as CBI. Mail the electronic medium to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI 
Office, Attention: Group Leader, Measurement Policy Group, MD C404-02, 
4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 27703. The same file with the CBI omitted 
must be submitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as described earlier in 
this paragraph (k). All CBI claims must be asserted at the time of 
submission. Furthermore, under section 114(c) of the Act emissions data 
is not entitled to confidential treatment and requires EPA to make 
emissions data available to the public. Thus, emissions data will not be 
protected as CBI and will be made publicly available.
    (1) If you are required to electronically submit a notification or 
report by this paragraph (k) through CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may 
assert a claim of EPA system outage for failure to timely comply with 
the electronic submittal requirement. To assert a claim of EPA system 
outage, you must meet the requirements outlined in paragraphs (k)(1)(i) 
through (vii) of this section.
    (i) You must have been or will be precluded from accessing CEDRI and 
submitting a required notification or report within the time prescribed 
due to an outage of either the EPA's CEDRI or CDX systems.
    (ii) The outage must have occurred within the period of time 
beginning 5 business days prior to the date that the notification or 
report is due.
    (iii) The outage may be planned or unplanned.
    (iv) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as 
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due 
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a 
delay in reporting.
    (v) You must provide to the Administrator a written description 
identifying:
    (A) The date(s) and time(s) when CDX or CEDRI was accessed and the 
system was unavailable;
    (B) A rationale for attributing the delay in submitting beyond the 
regulatory deadline to EPA system outage;
    (C) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in 
submitting; and
    (D) The date by which you propose to submit, or if you have already 
met the electronic submittal requirement in this paragraph (k) at the 
time of the notification, the date you submitted the notification or 
report.

[[Page 58]]

    (vi) The decision to accept the claim of EPA system outage and allow 
an extension to the reporting deadline is solely within the discretion 
of the Administrator.
    (vii) In any circumstance, the notification or report must be 
submitted electronically as soon as possible after the outage is 
resolved.
    (2) If you are required to electronically submit a notification or 
report by this paragraph (k) through CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may 
assert a claim of force majeure for failure to timely comply with the 
electronic submittal requirement. To assert a claim of force majeure, 
you must meet the requirements outlined in paragraphs (k)(2)(i) through 
(v) of this section.
    (i) You may submit a claim if a force majeure event is about to 
occur, occurs, or has occurred or there are lingering effects from such 
an event within the period of time beginning five business days prior to 
the date the submission is due. For the purposes of this section, a 
force majeure event is defined as an event that will be or has been 
caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility, its 
contractors, or any entity controlled by the affected facility that 
prevents you from complying with the requirement to submit a 
notification or report electronically within the time period prescribed. 
Examples of such events are acts of nature (e.g., hurricanes, 
earthquakes, or floods), acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure 
or safety hazard beyond the control of the affected facility (e.g., 
large scale power outage).
    (ii) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as 
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due 
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a 
delay in submitting through CEDRI.
    (iii) You must provide to the Administrator:
    (A) A written description of the force majeure event;
    (B) A rationale for attributing the delay in reporting beyond the 
regulatory deadline to the force majeure event;
    (C) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in 
reporting; and
    (D) The date by which you propose to submit the notification or 
report, or if you have already met the electronic submittal requirement 
in this paragraph (k) at the time of the notification, the date you 
submitted the notification or report.
    (iv) The decision to accept the claim of force majeure and allow an 
extension to the submittal deadline is solely within the discretion of 
the Administrator.
    (v) In any circumstance, the reporting must occur as soon as 
possible after the force majeure event occurs.

Sec.  63.10  Recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

    (a) Applicability and general information. (1) The applicability of 
this section is set out in Sec.  63.1(a)(4).
    (2) For affected sources that have been granted an extension of 
compliance under subpart D of this part, the requirements of this 
section do not apply to those sources while they are operating under 
such compliance extensions.
    (3) If any State requires a report that contains all the information 
required in a report listed in this section, an owner or operator may 
send the Administrator a copy of the report sent to the State to satisfy 
the requirements of this section for that report.
    (4)(i) Before a State has been delegated the authority to implement 
and enforce recordkeeping and reporting requirements established under 
this part, the owner or operator of an affected source in such State 
subject to such requirements shall submit reports to the appropriate 
Regional Office of the EPA (to the attention of the Director of the 
Division indicated in the list of the EPA Regional Offices in Sec.  
63.13).
    (ii) After a State has been delegated the authority to implement and 
enforce recordkeeping and reporting requirements established under this 
part, the owner or operator of an affected source in such State subject 
to such requirements shall submit reports to the delegated State 
authority (which may

[[Page 59]]

be the same as the permitting authority). In addition, if the delegated 
(permitting) authority is the State, the owner or operator shall send a 
copy of each report submitted to the State to the appropriate Regional 
Office of the EPA, as specified in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section. 
The Regional Office may waive this requirement for any reports at its 
discretion.
    (5) If an owner or operator of an affected source in a State with 
delegated authority is required to submit periodic reports under this 
part to the State, and if the State has an established timeline for the 
submission of periodic reports that is consistent with the reporting 
frequency(ies) specified for such source under this part, the owner or 
operator may change the dates by which periodic reports under this part 
shall be submitted (without changing the frequency of reporting) to be 
consistent with the State's schedule by mutual agreement between the 
owner or operator and the State. For each relevant standard established 
pursuant to section 112 of the Act, the allowance in the previous 
sentence applies in each State beginning 1 year after the affected 
source's compliance date for that standard. Procedures governing the 
implementation of this provision are specified in Sec.  63.9(i).
    (6) If an owner or operator supervises one or more stationary 
sources affected by more than one standard established pursuant to 
section 112 of the Act, he/she may arrange by mutual agreement between 
the owner or operator and the Administrator (or the State permitting 
authority) a common schedule on which periodic reports required for each 
source shall be submitted throughout the year. The allowance in the 
previous sentence applies in each State beginning 1 year after the 
latest compliance date for any relevant standard established pursuant to 
section 112 of the Act for any such affected source(s). Procedures 
governing the implementation of this provision are specified in Sec.  
63.9(i).
    (7) If an owner or operator supervises one or more stationary 
sources affected by standards established pursuant to section 112 of the 
Act (as amended November 15, 1990) and standards set under part 60, part 
61, or both such parts of this chapter, he/she may arrange by mutual 
agreement between the owner or operator and the Administrator (or the 
State permitting authority) a common schedule on which periodic reports 
required by each relevant (i.e., applicable) standard shall be submitted 
throughout the year. The allowance in the previous sentence applies in 
each State beginning 1 year after the stationary source is required to 
be in compliance with the relevant section 112 standard, or 1 year after 
the stationary source is required to be in compliance with the 
applicable part 60 or part 61 standard, whichever is latest. Procedures 
governing the implementation of this provision are specified in Sec.  
63.9(i).
    (b) General recordkeeping requirements. (1) The owner or operator of 
an affected source subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain 
files of all information (including all reports and notifications) 
required by this part recorded in a form suitable and readily available 
for expeditious inspection and review. The files shall be retained for 
at least 5 years following the date of each occurrence, measurement, 
maintenance, corrective action, report, or record. At a minimum, the 
most recent 2 years of data shall be retained on site. The remaining 3 
years of data may be retained off site. Such files may be maintained on 
microfilm, on a computer, on computer floppy disks, on magnetic tape 
disks, or on microfiche.
    (2) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to the 
provisions of this part shall maintain relevant records for such source 
of--
    (i) The occurrence and duration of each startup or shutdown when the 
startup or shutdown causes the source to exceed any applicable emission 
limitation in the relevant emission standards;
    (ii) The occurrence and duration of each malfunction of operation 
(i.e., process equipment) or the required air pollution control and 
monitoring equipment;
    (iii) All required maintenance performed on the air pollution 
control and monitoring equipment;
    (iv)(A) Actions taken during periods of startup or shutdown when the 
source

[[Page 60]]

exceeded applicable emission limitations in a relevant standard and when 
the actions taken are different from the procedures specified in the 
affected source's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan (see Sec.  
63.6(e)(3)); or
    (B) Actions taken during periods of malfunction (including 
corrective actions to restore malfunctioning process and air pollution 
control and monitoring equipment to its normal or usual manner of 
operation) when the actions taken are different from the procedures 
specified in the affected source's startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan (see Sec.  63.6(e)(3));
    (v) All information necessary, including actions taken, to 
demonstrate conformance with the affected source's startup, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan (see Sec.  63.6(e)(3)) when all actions taken 
during periods of startup or shutdown (and the startup or shutdown 
causes the source to exceed any applicable emission limitation in the 
relevant emission standards), and malfunction (including corrective 
actions to restore malfunctioning process and air pollution control and 
monitoring equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation) are 
consistent with the procedures specified in such plan. (The information 
needed to demonstrate conformance with the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan may be recorded using a ``checklist,'' or some other 
effective form of recordkeeping, in order to minimize the recordkeeping 
burden for conforming events);
    (vi) Each period during which a CMS is malfunctioning or inoperative 
(including out-of-control periods);
    (vii) All required measurements needed to demonstrate compliance 
with a relevant standard (including, but not limited to, 15-minute 
averages of CMS data, raw performance testing measurements, and raw 
performance evaluation measurements, that support data that the source 
is required to report);
    (A) This paragraph applies to owners or operators required to 
install a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) where the CEMS 
installed is automated, and where the calculated data averages do not 
exclude periods of CEMS breakdown or malfunction. An automated CEMS 
records and reduces the measured data to the form of the pollutant 
emission standard through the use of a computerized data acquisition 
system. In lieu of maintaining a file of all CEMS subhourly measurements 
as required under paragraph (b)(2)(vii) of this section, the owner or 
operator shall retain the most recent consecutive three averaging 
periods of subhourly measurements and a file that contains a hard copy 
of the data acquisition system algorithm used to reduce the measured 
data into the reportable form of the standard.
    (B) This paragraph applies to owners or operators required to 
install a CEMS where the measured data is manually reduced to obtain the 
reportable form of the standard, and where the calculated data averages 
do not exclude periods of CEMS breakdown or malfunction. In lieu of 
maintaining a file of all CEMS subhourly measurements as required under 
paragraph (b)(2)(vii) of this section, the owner or operator shall 
retain all subhourly measurements for the most recent reporting period. 
The subhourly measurements shall be retained for 120 days from the date 
of the most recent summary or excess emission report submitted to the 
Administrator.
    (C) The Administrator or delegated authority, upon notification to 
the source, may require the owner or operator to maintain all 
measurements as required by paragraph (b)(2)(vii), if the administrator 
or the delegated authority determines these records are required to more 
accurately assess the compliance status of the affected source.
    (viii) All results of performance tests, CMS performance 
evaluations, and opacity and visible emission observations;
    (ix) All measurements as may be necessary to determine the 
conditions of performance tests and performance evaluations;
    (x) All CMS calibration checks;
    (xi) All adjustments and maintenance performed on CMS;
    (xii) Any information demonstrating whether a source is meeting the 
requirements for a waiver of recordkeeping or reporting requirements 
under this part, if the source has been

[[Page 61]]

granted a waiver under paragraph (f) of this section;
    (xiii) All emission levels relative to the criterion for obtaining 
permission to use an alternative to the relative accuracy test, if the 
source has been granted such permission under Sec.  63.8(f)(6); and
    (xiv) All documentation supporting initial notifications and 
notifications of compliance status under Sec.  63.9.
    (3) If an owner or operator determines that his or her existing or 
new stationary source is in the source category regulated by a standard 
established pursuant to section 112 of the Act, but that source is not 
subject to the relevant standard (or other requirement established under 
this part) because of enforceable limitations on the source's potential 
to emit, or the source otherwise qualifies for an exclusion, the owner 
or operator must keep a record of the applicability determination. The 
applicability determination must be kept on site at the source for a 
period of 5 years after the determination, or until the source changes 
its operations to become an affected source subject to the relevant 
standard (or other requirement established under this part), whichever 
comes first if the determination is made prior to January 19, 2021. The 
applicability determination must be kept until the source changes its 
operations to become an affected source subject to the relevant standard 
(or other requirement established under this part) if the determination 
was made on or after January 19, 2021. The record of the applicability 
determination must be signed by the person making the determination and 
include an emissions analysis (or other information) that demonstrates 
the owner or operator's conclusion that the source is unaffected (e.g., 
because the source is an area source). The analysis (or other 
information) must be sufficiently detailed to allow the Administrator to 
make an applicability finding for the source with regard to the relevant 
standard or other requirement. If applicable, the analysis must be 
performed in accordance with requirements established in relevant 
subparts of this part for this purpose for particular categories of 
stationary sources. If relevant, the analysis should be performed in 
accordance with EPA guidance materials published to assist sources in 
making applicability determinations under section 112 of the Act, if 
any. The requirements to determine applicability of a standard under 
Sec.  63.1(b)(3) and to record the results of that determination under 
this paragraph (b)(3) of this section shall not by themselves create an 
obligation for the owner or operator to obtain a title V permit.
    (c) Additional recordkeeping requirements for sources with 
continuous monitoring systems. In addition to complying with the 
requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section, 
the owner or operator of an affected source required to install a CMS by 
a relevant standard shall maintain records for such source of--
    (1) All required CMS measurements (including monitoring data 
recorded during unavoidable CMS breakdowns and out-of-control periods);
    (2)-(4) [Reserved]
    (5) The date and time identifying each period during which the CMS 
was inoperative except for zero (low-level) and high-level checks;
    (6) The date and time identifying each period during which the CMS 
was out of control, as defined in Sec.  63.8(c)(7);
    (7) The specific identification (i.e., the date and time of 
commencement and completion) of each period of excess emissions and 
parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the relevant 
standard(s), that occurs during startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of 
the affected source;
    (8) The specific identification (i.e., the date and time of 
commencement and completion) of each time period of excess emissions and 
parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the relevant 
standard(s), that occurs during periods other than startups, shutdowns, 
and malfunctions of the affected source;
    (9) [Reserved]
    (10) The nature and cause of any malfunction (if known);
    (11) The corrective action taken or preventive measures adopted;
    (12) The nature of the repairs or adjustments to the CMS that was 
inoperative or out of control;

[[Page 62]]

    (13) The total process operating time during the reporting period; 
and
    (14) All procedures that are part of a quality control program 
developed and implemented for CMS under Sec.  63.8(d).
    (15) In order to satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (c)(10) 
through (c)(12) of this section and to avoid duplicative recordkeeping 
efforts, the owner or operator may use the affected source's startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan or records kept to satisfy the 
recordkeeping requirements of the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan specified in Sec.  63.6(e), provided that such plan and records 
adequately address the requirements of paragraphs (c)(10) through 
(c)(12).
    (d) General reporting requirements. (1) Notwithstanding the 
requirements in this paragraph or paragraph (e) of this section, and 
except as provided in Sec.  63.16, the owner or operator of an affected 
source subject to reporting requirements under this part shall submit 
reports to the Administrator in accordance with the reporting 
requirements in the relevant standard(s).
    (2) Reporting results of performance tests. Before a title V permit 
has been issued to the owner or operator of an affected source, the 
owner or operator shall report the results of any performance test under 
Sec.  63.7 to the Administrator. After a title V permit has been issued 
to the owner or operator of an affected source, the owner or operator 
shall report the results of a required performance test to the 
appropriate permitting authority. The owner or operator of an affected 
source shall report the results of the performance test to the 
Administrator (or the State with an approved permit program) before the 
close of business on the 60th day following the completion of the 
performance test, unless specified otherwise in a relevant standard or 
as approved otherwise in writing by the Administrator. The results of 
the performance test shall be submitted as part of the notification of 
compliance status required under Sec.  63.9(h).
    (3) Reporting results of opacity or visible emission observations. 
The owner or operator of an affected source required to conduct opacity 
or visible emission observations by a relevant standard shall report the 
opacity or visible emission results (produced using Test Method 9 or 
Test Method 22, or an alternative to these test methods) along with the 
results of the performance test required under Sec.  63.7. If no 
performance test is required, or if visibility or other conditions 
prevent the opacity or visible emission observations from being 
conducted concurrently with the performance test required under Sec.  
63.7, the owner or operator shall report the opacity or visible emission 
results before the close of business on the 30th day following the 
completion of the opacity or visible emission observations.
    (4) Progress reports. The owner or operator of an affected source 
who is required to submit progress reports as a condition of receiving 
an extension of compliance under Sec.  63.6(i) shall submit such reports 
to the Administrator (or the State with an approved permit program) by 
the dates specified in the written extension of compliance.
    (5)(i) Periodic startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports. If 
actions taken by an owner or operator during a startup or shutdown (and 
the startup or shutdown causes the source to exceed any applicable 
emission limitation in the relevant emission standards), or malfunction 
of an affected source (including actions taken to correct a malfunction) 
are consistent with the procedures specified in the source's startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan (see Sec.  63.6(e)(3)), the owner or 
operator shall state such information in a startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction report. Actions taken to minimize emissions during such 
startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions shall be summarized in the report 
and may be done in checklist form; if actions taken are the same for 
each event, only one checklist is necessary. Such a report shall also 
include the number, duration, and a brief description for each type of 
malfunction which occurred during the reporting period and which caused 
or may have caused any applicable emission limitation to be exceeded. 
Reports shall only be required if a startup or shutdown caused the 
source to exceed any applicable emission limitation in the relevant 
emission standards, or if a malfunction occurred during the reporting 
period. The startup, shutdown, and

[[Page 63]]

malfunction report shall consist of a letter, containing the name, 
title, and signature of the owner or operator or other responsible 
official who is certifying its accuracy, that shall be submitted to the 
Administrator semiannually (or on a more frequent basis if specified 
otherwise in a relevant standard or as established otherwise by the 
permitting authority in the source's title V permit). The startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction report shall be delivered or postmarked by the 
30th day following the end of each calendar half (or other calendar 
reporting period, as appropriate). If the owner or operator is required 
to submit excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance 
(or other periodic) reports under this part, the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction reports required under this paragraph may be submitted 
simultaneously with the excess emissions and continuous monitoring 
system performance (or other) reports. If startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction reports are submitted with excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance (or other periodic) reports, and the owner 
or operator receives approval to reduce the frequency of reporting for 
the latter under paragraph (e) of this section, the frequency of 
reporting for the startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports also may be 
reduced if the Administrator does not object to the intended change. The 
procedures to implement the allowance in the preceding sentence shall be 
the same as the procedures specified in paragraph (e)(3) of this 
section.
    (ii) Immediate startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports. 
Notwithstanding the allowance to reduce the frequency of reporting for 
periodic startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports under paragraph 
(d)(5)(i) of this section, any time an action taken by an owner or 
operator during a startup or shutdown that caused the source to exceed 
any applicable emission limitation in the relevant emission standards, 
or malfunction (including actions taken to correct a malfunction) is not 
consistent with the procedures specified in the affected source's 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the owner or operator shall 
report the actions taken for that event within 2 working days after 
commencing actions inconsistent with the plan followed by a letter 
within 7 working days after the end of the event. The immediate report 
required under this paragraph (d)(5)(ii) shall consist of a telephone 
call (or facsimile (FAX) transmission) to the Administrator within 2 
working days after commencing actions inconsistent with the plan, and it 
shall be followed by a letter, delivered or postmarked within 7 working 
days after the end of the event, that contains the name, title, and 
signature of the owner or operator or other responsible official who is 
certifying its accuracy, explaining the circumstances of the event, the 
reasons for not following the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, 
describing all excess emissions and/or parameter monitoring exceedances 
which are believed to have occurred (or could have occurred in the case 
of malfunctions), and actions taken to minimize emissions in conformance 
with Sec.  63.6(e)(1)(i). Notwithstanding the requirements of the 
previous sentence, after the effective date of an approved permit 
program in the State in which an affected source is located, the owner 
or operator may make alternative reporting arrangements, in advance, 
with the permitting authority in that State. Procedures governing the 
arrangement of alternative reporting requirements under this paragraph 
(d)(5)(ii) are specified in Sec.  63.9(i).
    (e) Additional reporting requirements for sources with continuous 
monitoring systems--(1) General. When more than one CEMS is used to 
measure the emissions from one affected source (e.g., multiple 
breechings, multiple outlets), the owner or operator shall report the 
results as required for each CEMS.
    (2) Reporting results of continuous monitoring system performance 
evaluations. (i) The owner or operator of an affected source required to 
install a CMS by a relevant standard shall furnish the Administrator a 
copy of a written report of the results of the CMS performance 
evaluation, as required under Sec.  63.8(e), simultaneously with the 
results of the performance test required under Sec.  63.7, unless 
otherwise specified in the relevant standard.

[[Page 64]]

    (ii) The owner or operator of an affected source using a COMS to 
determine opacity compliance during any performance test required under 
Sec.  63.7 and described in Sec.  63.6(d)(6) shall furnish the 
Administrator two or, upon request, three copies of a written report of 
the results of the COMS performance evaluation conducted under Sec.  
63.8(e). The copies shall be furnished at least 15 calendar days before 
the performance test required under Sec.  63.7 is conducted.
    (3) Excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance 
report and summary report. (i) Excess emissions and parameter monitoring 
exceedances are defined in relevant standards. The owner or operator of 
an affected source required to install a CMS by a relevant standard 
shall submit an excess emissions and continuous monitoring system 
performance report and/or a summary report to the Administrator 
semiannually, except when--
    (A) More frequent reporting is specifically required by a relevant 
standard;
    (B) The Administrator determines on a case-by-case basis that more 
frequent reporting is necessary to accurately assess the compliance 
status of the source; or
    (C) [Reserved]
    (D) The affected source is complying with the Performance Track 
Provisions of Sec.  63.16, which allows less frequent reporting.
    (ii) Request to reduce frequency of excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance reports. Notwithstanding the frequency of 
reporting requirements specified in paragraph (e)(3)(i) of this section, 
an owner or operator who is required by a relevant standard to submit 
excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance (and 
summary) reports on a quarterly (or more frequent) basis may reduce the 
frequency of reporting for that standard to semiannual if the following 
conditions are met:
    (A) For 1 full year (e.g., 4 quarterly or 12 monthly reporting 
periods) the affected source's excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance reports continually demonstrate that the 
source is in compliance with the relevant standard;
    (B) The owner or operator continues to comply with all recordkeeping 
and monitoring requirements specified in this subpart and the relevant 
standard; and
    (C) The Administrator does not object to a reduced frequency of 
reporting for the affected source, as provided in paragraph (e)(3)(iii) 
of this section.
    (iii) The frequency of reporting of excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance (and summary) reports required to comply 
with a relevant standard may be reduced only after the owner or operator 
notifies the Administrator in writing of his or her intention to make 
such a change and the Administrator does not object to the intended 
change. In deciding whether to approve a reduced frequency of reporting, 
the Administrator may review information concerning the source's entire 
previous performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping period 
prior to the intended change, including performance test results, 
monitoring data, and evaluations of an owner or operator's conformance 
with operation and maintenance requirements. Such information may be 
used by the Administrator to make a judgment about the source's 
potential for noncompliance in the future. If the Administrator 
disapproves the owner or operator's request to reduce the frequency of 
reporting, the Administrator will notify the owner or operator in 
writing within 45 days after receiving notice of the owner or operator's 
intention. The notification from the Administrator to the owner or 
operator will specify the grounds on which the disapproval is based. In 
the absence of a notice of disapproval within 45 days, approval is 
automatically granted.
    (iv) As soon as CMS data indicate that the source is not in 
compliance with any emission limitation or operating parameter specified 
in the relevant standard, the frequency of reporting shall revert to the 
frequency specified in the relevant standard, and the owner or operator 
shall submit an excess emissions and continuous monitoring system 
performance (and summary) report for the noncomplying emission points at 
the next appropriate

[[Page 65]]

reporting period following the noncomplying event. After demonstrating 
ongoing compliance with the relevant standard for another full year, the 
owner or operator may again request approval from the Administrator to 
reduce the frequency of reporting for that standard, as provided for in 
paragraphs (e)(3)(ii) and (e)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (v) Content and submittal dates for excess emissions and monitoring 
system performance reports. All excess emissions and monitoring system 
performance reports and all summary reports, if required, shall be 
delivered or postmarked by the 30th day following the end of each 
calendar half or quarter, as appropriate. Written reports of excess 
emissions or exceedances of process or control system parameters shall 
include all the information required in paragraphs (c)(5) through 
(c)(13) of this section, in Sec. Sec.  63.8(c)(7) and 63.8(c)(8), and in 
the relevant standard, and they shall contain the name, title, and 
signature of the responsible official who is certifying the accuracy of 
the report. When no excess emissions or exceedances of a parameter have 
occurred, or a CMS has not been inoperative, out of control, repaired, 
or adjusted, such information shall be stated in the report.
    (vi) Summary report. As required under paragraphs (e)(3)(vii) and 
(e)(3)(viii) of this section, one summary report shall be submitted for 
the hazardous air pollutants monitored at each affected source (unless 
the relevant standard specifies that more than one summary report is 
required, e.g., one summary report for each hazardous air pollutant 
monitored). The summary report shall be entitled ``Summary Report--
Gaseous and Opacity Excess Emission and Continuous Monitoring System 
Performance'' and shall contain the following information:
    (A) The company name and address of the affected source;
    (B) An identification of each hazardous air pollutant monitored at 
the affected source;
    (C) The beginning and ending dates of the reporting period;
    (D) A brief description of the process units;
    (E) The emission and operating parameter limitations specified in 
the relevant standard(s);
    (F) The monitoring equipment manufacturer(s) and model number(s);
    (G) The date of the latest CMS certification or audit;
    (H) The total operating time of the affected source during the 
reporting period;
    (I) An emission data summary (or similar summary if the owner or 
operator monitors control system parameters), including the total 
duration of excess emissions during the reporting period (recorded in 
minutes for opacity and hours for gases), the total duration of excess 
emissions expressed as a percent of the total source operating time 
during that reporting period, and a breakdown of the total duration of 
excess emissions during the reporting period into those that are due to 
startup/shutdown, control equipment problems, process problems, other 
known causes, and other unknown causes;
    (J) A CMS performance summary (or similar summary if the owner or 
operator monitors control system parameters), including the total CMS 
downtime during the reporting period (recorded in minutes for opacity 
and hours for gases), the total duration of CMS downtime expressed as a 
percent of the total source operating time during that reporting period, 
and a breakdown of the total CMS downtime during the reporting period 
into periods that are due to monitoring equipment malfunctions, 
nonmonitoring equipment malfunctions, quality assurance/quality control 
calibrations, other known causes, and other unknown causes;
    (K) A description of any changes in CMS, processes, or controls 
since the last reporting period;
    (L) The name, title, and signature of the responsible official who 
is certifying the accuracy of the report; and
    (M) The date of the report.
    (vii) If the total duration of excess emissions or process or 
control system parameter exceedances for the reporting period is less 
than 1 percent of the total operating time for the reporting period, and 
CMS downtime for the reporting period is less than 5 percent of

[[Page 66]]

the total operating time for the reporting period, only the summary 
report shall be submitted, and the full excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance report need not be submitted unless 
required by the Administrator.
    (viii) If the total duration of excess emissions or process or 
control system parameter exceedances for the reporting period is 1 
percent or greater of the total operating time for the reporting period, 
or the total CMS downtime for the reporting period is 5 percent or 
greater of the total operating time for the reporting period, both the 
summary report and the excess emissions and continuous monitoring system 
performance report shall be submitted.
    (4) Reporting continuous opacity monitoring system data produced 
during a performance test. The owner or operator of an affected source 
required to use a COMS shall record the monitoring data produced during 
a performance test required under Sec.  63.7 and shall furnish the 
Administrator a written report of the monitoring results. The report of 
COMS data shall be submitted simultaneously with the report of the 
performance test results required in paragraph (d)(2) of this section.
    (f) Waiver of recordkeeping or reporting requirements. (1) Until a 
waiver of a recordkeeping or reporting requirement has been granted by 
the Administrator under this paragraph, the owner or operator of an 
affected source remains subject to the requirements of this section.
    (2) Recordkeeping or reporting requirements may be waived upon 
written application to the Administrator if, in the Administrator's 
judgment, the affected source is achieving the relevant standard(s), or 
the source is operating under an extension of compliance, or the owner 
or operator has requested an extension of compliance and the 
Administrator is still considering that request.
    (3) If an application for a waiver of recordkeeping or reporting is 
made, the application shall accompany the request for an extension of 
compliance under Sec.  63.6(i), any required compliance progress report 
or compliance status report required under this part (such as under 
Sec. Sec.  63.6(i) and 63.9(h)) or in the source's title V permit, or an 
excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance report 
required under paragraph (e) of this section, whichever is applicable. 
The application shall include whatever information the owner or operator 
considers useful to convince the Administrator that a waiver of 
recordkeeping or reporting is warranted.
    (4) The Administrator will approve or deny a request for a waiver of 
recordkeeping or reporting requirements under this paragraph when he/
she--
    (i) Approves or denies an extension of compliance; or
    (ii) Makes a determination of compliance following the submission of 
a required compliance status report or excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring systems performance report; or
    (iii) Makes a determination of suitable progress towards compliance

practice

[[Page 67]]

used to identify leaking equipment. This alternative work practice is 
placed here for administrative convenience and is available to all 
subparts in 40 CFR parts 60, 61, 63, and 65 that require monitoring of 
equipment with a 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, Method 21 monitor.
    (b) Flares. (1) Owners or operators using flares to comply with the 
provisions of this part shall monitor these control devices to assure 
that they are operated and maintained in conformance with their designs. 
Applicable subparts will provide provisions stating how owners or 
operators using flares shall monitor these control devices.
    (2) Flares shall be steam-assisted, air-assisted, or non-assisted.
    (3) Flares shall be operated at all times when emissions may be 
vented to them.
    (4) Flares shall be designed for and operated with no visible 
emissions, except for periods not to exceed a total of 5 minutes during 
any 2 consecutive hours. Test Method 22 in appendix A of part 60 of this 
chapter shall be used to determine the compliance of flares with the 
visible emission provisions of this part. The observation period is 2 
hours and shall be used according to Method 22.
    (5) Flares shall be operated with a flame present at all times. The 
presence of a flare pilot flame shall be monitored using a thermocouple 
or any other equivalent device to detect the presence of a flame.
    (6) An owner/operator has the choice of adhering to the heat content 
specifications in paragraph (b)(6)(ii) of this section, and the maximum 
tip velocity specifications in paragraph (b)(7) or (b)(8) of this 
section, or adhering to the requirements in paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this 
section.
    (i)(A) Flares shall be used that have a diameter of 3 inches or 
greater, are nonassisted, have a hydrogen content of 8.0 percent (by 
volume) or greater, and are designed for and operated with an exit 
velocity less than 37.2 m/sec (122 ft/sec) and less than the velocity 
Vmax, as determined by the following equation:

Vmax = (XH2-K1)* K2

Where:

Vmax = Maximum permitted velocity, m/sec.
K1 = Constant, 6.0 volume-percent hydrogen.
K2 = Constant, 3.9(m/sec)/volume-percent hydrogen.
XH2 = The volume-percent of hydrogen, on a wet basis, as 
          calculated by using the American Society for Testing and 
          Materials (ASTM) Method D1946-77. (Incorporated by reference 
          as specified in Sec.  63.14).

    (B) The actual exit velocity of a flare shall be determined by the 
method specified in paragraph (b)(7)(i) of this section.
    (ii) Flares shall be used only with the net heating value of the gas 
being combusted at 11.2 MJ/scm (300 Btu/scf) or greater if the flare is 
steam-assisted or air-assisted; or with the net heating value of the gas 
being combusted at 7.45 M/scm (200 Btu/scf) or greater if the flares is 
non-assisted. The net heating value of the gas being combusted in a 
flare shall be calculated using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR04MY98.004

Where:

HT = Net heating value of the sample, MJ/scm; where the net 
          enthalpy per mole of offgas is based on combustion at 25 
          [deg]C and 760 mm Hg, but the standard temperature for 
          determining the volume corresponding to one mole is 20 [deg]C.
K = Constant =
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR04MY98.005

where the standard temperature for (g-mole/scm) is 20 [deg]C.
Ci = Concentration of sample component i in ppmv on a wet 
          basis, as measured for organics by Test Method 18 and measured 
          for hydrogen and carbon monoxide by American Society for 
          Testing and Materials (ASTM) D1946-77 or 90 (Reapproved 1994)

    (7)(i) Steam-assisted and nonassisted flares shall be designed for 
and operated with an exit velocity less than 18.3 m/sec (60 ft/sec), 
except as provided in paragraphs (b)(7)(ii) and (b)(7)(iii) of this 
section. The actual exit velocity of a flare shall be determined by 
dividing by the volumetric flow rate of gas being combusted (in units of 
emission standard temperature and pressure), as determined by Test 
Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D in appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 of this chapter, 
as appropriate, by the unobstructed (free) cross-sectional area of the 
flare tip.
    (ii) Steam-assisted and nonassisted flares designed for and operated 
with an exit velocity, as determined by the method specified in 
paragraph (b)(7)(i) of this section, equal to or greater than 18.3 m/sec 
(60 ft/sec) but less than 122 m/sec (400 ft/sec), are allowed if the net 
heating value of the gas being combusted is greater than 37.3 MJ/scm 
(1,000 Btu/scf).

HT = The net heating value as determined in paragraph (b)(6) 
          of this section.

    (8) Air-assisted flares shall be designed and operated with an exit 
velocity less than the velocity Vmax. The maximum permitted 
velocity, Vmax, for air-assisted flares shall be determined 
by the following equation:

Vmax = 8.71 + 0.708(HT)

Where:

Vmax = Maximum permitted velocity, m/sec.
8.71 = Constant.
0.708 = Constant.
HT = The net heating value as determined in paragraph 
          (b)(6)(ii) of this section.
    (c) Alternative work practice for monitoring equipment for leaks. 
Paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) of this section apply to all equipment for 
which the applicable subpart requires monitoring with a 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-7, Method 21 monitor, except for closed vent systems, 
equipment designated as leakless, and equipment identified in the 
applicable subpart as having no detectable emissions, as indicated by an 
instrument reading of less than 500 ppm above background. An owner or 
operator may use an optical gas imaging instrument instead of a 40 CFR 
part 60, sppendix A-7, Method 21 monitor. Requirements in the existing 
subparts that are specific to the Method 21 instrument do not apply 
under this section. All other requirements in the applicable subpart 
that are not addressed in paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) of this section 
continue to apply. For example, equipment specification requirements, 
and non-Method 21 instrument recordkeeping and reporting requirements in 
the applicable subpart continue to apply. The terms defined in 
paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this section have meanings that are 
specific to the alternative work practice standard in paragraphs (c), 
(d), and (e) of this section.
    (1) Applicable subpart means the subpart in 40 CFR parts 60, 61, 63, 
and 65 that requires monitoring of equipment with a 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-7, Method 21 monitor.
    (2) Equipment means pumps, valves, pressure relief valves, 
compressors, open-ended lines, flanges, connectors, and other equipment 
covered by the applicable subpart that require monitoring with a 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A-7, Method 21 monitor.
    (3) Imaging means making visible emissions that may otherwise be 
invisible to the naked eye.
    (4) Optical gas imaging instrument means an instrument that makes 
visible emissions that may otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.
    (5) Repair means that equipment is adjusted, or otherwise altered, 
in order to eliminate a leak.
    (6) Leak means:
    (i) Any emissions imaged by the optical gas instrument;
    (ii) Indications of liquids dripping;

[[Page 69]]

    (iii) Indications by a sensor that a seal or barrier fluid system 
has failed; or
    (iv) Screening results using a 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, Method 
21 monitor that exceed the leak definition in the applicable subpart to 
which the equipment is subject.
    (d) The alternative work practice standard for monitoring equipment 
for leaks is available to all subparts in 40 CFR parts 60, 61, 63, and 
65 that require monitoring of equipment with a 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-7, Method 21 monitor.
    (1) An owner or operator of an affected source subject to 40 CFR 
parts 60, 61, 63, or 65 can choose to comply with the alternative work 
practice requirements in paragraph (e) of this section instead of using 
the 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, Method 21 monitor to identify leaking 
equipment. The owner or operator must document the equipment, process 
units, and facilities for which the alternative work practice will be 
used to identify leaks.
    (2) Any leak detected when following the leak survey procedure in 
paragraph (e)(3) of this section must be identified for repair as 
required in the applicable subpart.
    (3) If the alternative work practice is used to identify leaks, re-
screening after an attempted repair of leaking equipment must be 
conducted using either the alternative work practice or the 40 CFR part 
60, Appendix A-7, Method 21 monitor at the leak definition required in 
the applicable subparts to which the equipment is subject.
    (4) The schedule for repair is as required in the applicable 
subpart.
    (5) When this alternative work practice is used for detecting 
leaking equipment, choose one of the monitoring frequencies listed in 
Table 1 to subpart A of this part in lieu of the monitoring frequency 
specified for regulated equipment in the applicable subpart. Reduced 
monitoring frequencies for good performance are not applicable when 
using the alternative work practice.
    (6) When this alternative work practice is used for detecting 
leaking equipment, the following are not applicable for the equipment 
being monitored:
    (i) Skip period leak detection and repair;
    (ii) Quality improvement plans; or
    (iii) Complying with standards for allowable percentage of valves 
and pumps to leak.
    (7) When the alternative work practice is used to detect leaking 
equipment, the regulated equipment in paragraph (d)(1)(i) of this 
section must also be monitored annually using a 40 CFR part 60, Appendix 
A-7, Method 21 monitor at the leak definition required in the applicable 
subpart. The owner or operator may choose the specific monitoring period 
(for example, first quarter) to conduct the annual monitoring. 
Subsequent monitoring must be conducted every 12 months from the initial 
period. Owners or operators must keep records of the annual Method 21 
screening results, as specified in paragraph (i)(4)(vii) of this 
section.
    (e) An owner or operator of an affected source who chooses to use 
the alternative work practice must comply with the requirements of 
paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(5) of this section.
    (1) Instrument specifications. The optical gas imaging instrument 
must comply with the requirements specified in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) and 
(e)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) Provide the operator with an image of the potential leak points 
for each piece of equipment at both the detection sensitivity level and 
within the distance used in the daily instrument check described in 
paragraph (e)(2) of this section. The detection sensitivity level 
depends upon the frequency at which leak monitoring is to be performed.
    (ii) Provide a date and time stamp for video records of every 
monitoring event.
    (2) Daily instrument check. On a daily basis, and prior to beginning 
any leak monitoring work, test the optical gas imaging instrument at the 
mass flow rate determined in paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this section in 
accordance with the procedure specified in paragraphs (e)(2)(ii) through 
(e)(2)(iv) of this section for each camera configuration used during 
monitoring (for example, different lenses used), unless an alternative 
method to demonstrate daily instrument checks has been approved in 
accordance with paragraph (e)(2)(v) of this section.

[[Page 70]]

    (i) Calculate the mass flow rate to be used in the daily instrument 
check by following the procedures in paragraphs (e)(2)(i)(A) and 
(e)(2)(i)(B) of this section.
    (A) For a specified population of equipment to be imaged by the 
instrument, determine the piece of equipment in contact with the lowest 
mass fraction of chemicals that are detectable, within the distance to 
be used in paragraph (e)(2)(iv)(B) of this section, at or below the 
standard detection sensitivity level.
    (B) Multiply the standard detection sensitivity level, corresponding 
to the selected monitoring frequency in Table 1 of subpart A of this 
part, by the mass fraction of detectable chemicals from the stream 
identified in paragraph (e)(2)(i)(A) of this section to determine the 
mass flow rate to be used in the daily instrument check, using the 
following equation.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22DE08.008

Where:

Edic = Mass flow rate for the daily instrument check, grams 
          per hour
xi = Mass fraction of detectable chemical(s) i seen by the 
          optical gas imaging instrument, within the distance to be used 
          in paragraph (e)(2)(iv)(B) of this section, at or below the 
          standard detection sensitivity level, Esds.
Esds = Standard detection sensitivity level from Table 1 to 
          subpart A, grams per hour
k = Total number of detectable chemicals emitted from the leaking 
          equipment and seen by the optical gas imaging instrument.

    (ii) Start the optical gas imaging instrument according to the 
manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that all appropriate settings 
conform to the manufacturer's instructions.
    (iii) Use any gas chosen by the user that can be viewed by the 
optical gas imaging instrument and that has a purity of no less than 98 
percent.
    (iv) Establish a mass flow rate by using the following procedures:
    (A) Provide a source of gas where it will be in the field of view of 
the optical gas imaging instrument.
    (B) Set up the optical gas imaging instrument at a recorded distance 
from the outlet or leak orifice of the flow meter that will not be 
exceeded in the actual performance of the leak survey. Do not exceed the 
operating parameters of the flow meter.
    (C) Open the valve on the flow meter to set a flow rate that will 
create a mass emission rate equal to the mass rate calculated in 
paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this section while observing the gas flow through 
the optical gas imaging instrument viewfinder. When an image of the gas 
emission is seen through the viewfinder at the required emission rate, 
make a record of the reading on the flow meter.
    (v) Repeat the procedures specified in paragraphs (e)(2)(ii) through 
(e)(2)(iv) of this section for each configuration of the optical gas 
imaging instrument used during the leak survey.
    (vi) To use an alternative method to demonstrate daily instrument 
checks, apply to the Administrator for approval of the alternative under 
Sec.  63.177 or Sec.  63.178, whichever is applicable.
    (3) Leak survey procedure. Operate the optical gas imaging 
instrument to image every regulated piece of equipment selected for this 
work practice in accordance with the instrument manufacturer's operating 
parameters. All emissions imaged by the optical gas imaging instrument 
are considered to be leaks and are subject to repair. All emissions 
visible to the naked eye are also considered to be leaks and are subject 
to repair.
    (4) Recordkeeping. Keep the records described in paragraphs 
(e)(4)(i) through (e)(4)(vii) of this section:
    (i) The equipment, processes, and facilities for which the owner or 
operator chooses to use the alternative work practice.
    (ii) The detection sensitivity level selected from Table 1 to 
subpart A of this part for the optical gas imaging instrument.
    (iii) The analysis to determine the piece of equipment in contact 
with the lowest mass fraction of chemicals that are detectable, as 
specified in paragraph (e)(2)(i)(A) of this section.
    (iv) The technical basis for the mass fraction of detectable 
chemicals used in the equation in paragraph (e)(2)(i)(B) of this 
section.

[[Page 71]]

    (v) The daily instrument check. Record the distance, per paragraph 
(e)(2)(iv)(B) of this section, and the flow meter reading, per paragraph 
(e)(2)(iv)(C) of this section, at which the leak was imaged. Keep a 
video record of the daily instrument check for each configuration of the 
optical gas imaging instrument used during the leak survey (for example, 
the daily instrument check must be conducted for each lens used). The 
video record must include a time and date stamp for each daily 
instrument check. The video record must be kept for 5 years.
    (vi) Recordkeeping requirements in the applicable subpart. A video 
record must be used to document the leak survey results. The video 
record must include a time and date stamp for each monitoring event. A 
video record can be used to meet the recordkeeping requirements of the 
applicable subparts if each piece of regulated equipment selected for 
this work practice can be identified in the video record. The video 
record must be kept for 5 years.
    (vii) The results of the annual Method 21 screening required in 
paragraph (h)(7) of this section. Records must be kept for all regulated 
equipment specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this section. Records must 
identify the equipment screened, the screening value measured by Method 
21, the time and date of the screening, and calibration information 
required in the existing applicable subparts.
    (5) Reporting. Submit the reports required in the applicable 
subpart. Submit the records of the annual Method 21 screening required 
in paragraph (h)(7) of this section to the Administrator via e-mail to 
[email protected].

Sec.  63.12  State authority and delegations.

    (a) The provisions of this part shall not be construed in any manner 
to preclude any State or political subdivision thereof from--
    (1) Adopting and enforcing any standard, limitation, prohibition, or 
other regulation applicable to an affected source subject to the 
requirements of this part, provided that such standard, limitation, 
prohibition, or regulation is not less stringent than any requirement 
applicable to such source established under this part;
    (2) Requiring the owner or operator of an affected source to obtain 
permits, licenses, or approvals prior to initiating construction, 
reconstruction, modification, or operation of such source; or
    (3) Requiring emission reductions in excess of those specified in 
subpart D of this part as a condition for granting the extension of 
compliance authorized by section 112(i)(5) of the Act.

delegate to each State, when appropriate, the authority to implement and 
enforce standards and other requirements pursuant to section 112 for 
stationary sources located in that State. Because of the unique nature 
of radioactive material, delegation of authority to implement and 
enforce standards that control radionuclides may require separate 
approval.
    (2) Subpart E of this part establishes procedures consistent with 
section 112(l) for the approval of State rules or programs to implement 
and enforce applicable Federal rules promulgated under the authority of 
section 112. Subpart E also establishes procedures for the review and 
withdrawal of section 112 implementation and enforcement authorities 
granted through a section 112(l) approval.
    (c) All information required to be submitted to the EPA under this 
part also shall be submitted to the appropriate state agency of any 
state to which authority has been delegated under section 112(l) of the 
Act, provided that each specific delegation may exempt sources from a 
certain federal or state reporting requirement. Any information required 
to be submitted electronically by this part via the EPA's CEDRI may, at 
the discretion of the delegated authority, satisfy the requirements of 
this paragraph. The Administrator may permit all or some of the 
information to be submitted to the appropriate state agency only,

sources (i.e., equivalent to the level of control that would be provided 
by a current BACT, LAER, T-BACT, or State air toxic rule MACT 
determination);
    (iii) The permitting authority determines that the percent control 
efficiency for emissions of HAP from all sources to be controlled by the 
existing control equipment will be equivalent to the percent control 
efficiency provided by the control equipment prior to the inclusion of 
the new process or production unit;
    (iv) The permitting authority has provided notice and an opportunity 
for public comment concerning its determination that criteria in 
paragraphs (2)(i), (2)(ii), and (2)(iii) of this definition apply and 
concerning the continued adequacy of any prior LAER, BATC, T-BACT, or 
State air toxic rule MACT determination;
    (v) If any commenter has asserted that a prior LAER, BACT, T-BACT, 
or State air toxic rule MACT determination is no longer adequate, the 
permitting authority has determined that the level of control required 
by that prior determination remains adequate; and
    (vi) Any emission limitations, work practice requirements, or other 
terms and conditions upon which the above determinations by the 
permitting authority are applicable requirements under section 504(a) 
and either have been incorporated into any existing title V permit for 
the affected facility

[61 FR 68399, Dec. 27, 1996]



Sec.  63.42  Program requirements governing construction or reconstruction
of major sources.

    (a) Adoption of program. Each permitting authority shall review its 
existing programs, procedures, and criteria for preconstruction review 
for conformity to the requirements established by Sec. Sec.  63.40 
through 63.44, shall make any additions and revisions to its existing 
programs, procedures, and criteria that the permitting authority deems 
necessary to properly effectuate Sec. Sec.  63.40 through 63.44, and 
shall adopt a program to implement section 112(g) with respect to 
construction or reconstruction of major sources of HAP. As part of the 
adoption by the permitting authority of a program to implement section 
112(g) with respect to construction or reconstruction of major sources 
of HAP, the chief executive officer of the permitting authority shall 
certify that the program satisfies all applicable requirements 
established by Sec. Sec.  63.40 through 63.44, and shall specify an 
effective date for that program which is not later than June 29, 1998. 
Prior to the specified effective date, the permitting authority shall 
publish a notice stating that the permitting authority has adopted a 
program to implement section 112(g) with respect to construction or 
reconstruction of major sources of HAP and stating the effective date, 
and shall provide a written description of the program to the 
Administrator through the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Nothing in 
this section shall be construed either:
    (1) To require that any owner or operator of a stationary source 
comply with any requirement adopted by the permitting authority which is 
not intended to implement section 112(g) with respect to construction or 
reconstruction of major sources of HAP; or
    (2) To preclude the permitting authority from enforcing any 
requirements not intended to implement section 112(g) with respect to 
construction or reconstruction of major sources of HAP under any other 
provision of applicable law.
    (b) Failure to adopt program. In the event that the permitting 
authority fails to adopt a program to implement section 112(g) with 
respect to construction or reconstruction of major sources of HAP with 
an effective date on or before June 29, 1998, and the permitting 
authority concludes that it is able to make case-by-case MACT 
determinations which conform to the provisions of Sec.  63.43 in the 
absence of such a program, the permitting authority may elect to make 
such determinations. However, in those instances where the permitting 
authority elects to make case-by-case MACT determinations in the absence 
of a program to implement section 112(g) with respect to construction or 
reconstruction of major sources of HAP, no such case-by-case MACT 
determination shall take effect until after it has been submitted by the 
permitting authority in writing to the appropriate EPA Regional 
Adminstrator and the EPA Regional Administrator has concurred in writing 
that the case-by-case MACT determination by the permitting authority is 
in conformity with all requirements established by Sec. Sec.  63.40 
through 63.44. In the event that the permitting authority fails to adopt 
a program to implement section 112(g) with respect to construction or 
reconstruction of major sources of HAP with an effective date on or 
before June 29, 1998, and the permitting authority concludes that it is 
unable to make case-by-case MACT determinations in the absence of such a 
program, the permitting authority may request that the EPA Regional 
Administrator implement a transitional program to implement section 
112(g) with respect to construction or reconstruction of major sources 
of HAP in the affected State of local jurisdiction while the permitting 
authority completes development and adoption of a section 112(g) 
program. Any such transitional section 112(g) program implemented by the 
EPA Regional Administrator shall conform to all requirements established 
by Sec. Sec.  63.40

[[Page 91]]

through 63.44, and shall remain in effect for no more than 30 months. 
Continued failure by the permitting authority to adopt a program to 
implement section 112(g) with respect to construction or reconstruction 
of major sources of HAP shall be construed as a failure by the 
permitting authority to adequately administer and enforce its title V 
permitting program and shall constitute cause by EPA to apply the 
sanctions and remedies set forth in the Clean Air Act section 502(I).
    (c) Prohibition. After the effective date of section 112(g)(2)(B) 
(as defined in Sec.  63.41) in a State or local jurisdiction and the 
effective date of the title V permit program applicable to that State or 
local jurisdiction, no person may begin actual construction or 
reconstruction of a major source of HAP in such State or local 
jurisdiction unless:
    (1) The major source in question has been specifically regulated or 
exempted from regulation under a standard issued pursuant to section 
112(d), section 112(h) or section 112(j) in part 63, and the owner and 
operator has fully complied with all procedures and requirements for 
preconstruction review established by that standard, including any 
applicable requirements set forth in subpart A of this part 63; or
    (2) The permitting authority has made a final and effective case-by-
case determination pursuant to the provisions of Sec.  63.43 such that 
emissions from the constructed or reconstructed major source will be 
controlled to a level no less stringent than the maximum achievable 
control technology emission limitation for new sources.

[61 FR 68400, Dec. 27, 1996, as amended at 64 FR 35032, June 30, 1999]



Sec.  63.43  Maximum achievable control technology (MACT) determinations 
for constructed and reconstructed major sources.

    (a) Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to an 
owner or operator who constructs or reconstructs a major source of HAP 
subject to a case-by-case determination of maximum achievable control 
technology pursuant to Sec.  63.42(c).
    (b) Requirements for constructed and reconstructed major sources. 
When a case-by-case determination of MACT is required by Sec.  63.42(c), 
the owner and operator shall obtain from the permitting authority an 
approved MACT determination according to one of the review options 
contained in paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) Review options. (1) When the permitting authority requires the 
owner or operator to obtain, or revise, a permit issued pursuant to 
title V of the Act before construction or reconstruction of the major 
source, or when the permitting authority allows the owner or operator at 
its discretion to obtain or revise such a permit before construction or 
reconstruction, and the owner or operator elects that option, the owner 
or operator shall follow the administrative procedures in the program 
approved under title V of the Act (or in other regulations issued 
pursuant to title V of the Act, where applicable).
    (2) When an owner or operator is not required to obtain or revise a 
title V permit (or other permit issued pursuant to title V of the Act) 
before construction or reconstruction, the owner or operator (unless the 
owner or operator voluntarily follows the process to obtain a title V 
permit) shall either, at the discretion of the permitting authority:
    (i) Apply for and obtain a Notice of MACT Approval according to the 
procedures outlined in paragraphs (f) through (h) of this section; or
    (ii) Apply for a MACT determination under any other administrative 
procedures for preconstruction review and approval established by the 
permitting authority for a State or local jurisdiction which provide for 
public participation in the determination, and ensure that no person may 
begin actual construction or reconstruction of a major source in that 
State or local jurisdiction unless the permitting authority determines 
that the MACT emission limitation for new sources will be met.
    (3) When applying for a permit pursuant to title V of the Act, an 
owner or operator may request approval of case-by-case MACT 
determinations for alternative operating scenarios. Approval of such 
determinations satisfies the requirements of section 112(g) of each such 
scenario.

[[Page 92]]

    (4) Regardless of the review process, the MACT emission limitation 
and requirements established shall be effective as required by paragraph 
(j) of this section, consistent with the principles established in 
paragraph (d) of this section, and supported by the information listed 
in paragraph (e) of this section. The owner or operator shall comply 
with the requirements in paragraphs (k) and (l) of this section, and 
with all applicable requirements in subpart A of this part.
    (d) Principles of MACT determinations. The following general 
principles shall govern preparation by the owner or operator of each 
permit application or other application requiring a case-by-case MACT 
determination concerning construction or reconstruction of a major 
source, and all subsequent review of and actions taken concerning such 
an application by the permitting authority:
    (1) The MACT emission limitation or MACT requirements recommended by 
the applicant and approved by the permitting authority shall not be less 
stringent than the emission control which is achieved in practice by the 
best controlled similar source, as determined by the permitting 
authority.
    (2) Based upon available information, as defined in this subpart, 
the MACT emission limitation and control technology (including any 
requirements under paragraph (d)(3) of this section) recommended by the 
applicant and approved by the permitting authority shall achieve the 
maximum degree of reduction in emissions of HAP which can be achieved by 
utilizing those control technologies that can be identified from the 
available information, taking into consideration the costs of achieving 
such emission reduction and any non-air quality health and environmental 
impacts and energy requirements associated with the emission reduction.
    (3) The applicant may recommend a specific design, equipment, work 
practice, or operational standard, or a combination thereof, and the 
permitting authority may approve such a standard if the permitting 
authority specifically determines that it is not feasible to prescribe 
or enforce an emission limitation under the criteria set forth in 
section 112(h)(2) of the Act.
    (4) If the Administrator has either proposed a relevant emission 
standard pursuant to section 112(d) or section 112(h) of the Act or 
adopted a presumptive MACT determination for the source category which 
includes the constructed or reconstructed major source, then the MACT 
requirements applied to the constructed or reconstructed major source 
shall have considered those MACT emission limitations and requirements 
of the proposed standard or presumptive MACT determination.
    (e) Application requirements for a case-by-case MACT determination. 
(1) An application for a MACT determination (whether a permit 
application under title V of the Act, an application for a Notice of 
MACT Approval, or other document specified by the permitting authority 
under paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section) shall specify a control 
technology selected by the owner or operator that, if properly operated 
and maintained, will meet the MACT emission limitation or standard as 
determined according to the principles set forth in paragraph (d) of 
this section.
    (2) In each instance where a constructed or reconstructed major 
source would require additional control technology or a change in 
control technology, the application for a MACT determination shall 
contain the following information:
    (i) The name and address (physical location) of the major source to 
be constructed or reconstructed;
    (ii) A brief description of the major source to be constructed or 
reconstructed and identification of any listed source category or 
categories in which it is included;
    (iii) The expected commencement date for the construction or 
reconstruction of the major source;
    (iv) The expected completion date for construction or reconstruction 
of the major source;
    (v) the anticipated date of start-up for the constructed or 
reconstructed major source;
    (vi) The HAP emitted by the constructed or reconstructed major 
source, and the estimated emission rate for each such HAP, to the extent

[[Page 93]]

this information is needed by the permitting authority to determine 
MACT;
    (vii) Any federally enforceable emission limitations applicable to 
the constructed or reconstructed major source;
    (viii) The maximum and expected utilization of capacity of the 
constructed or reconstructed major source, and the associated 
uncontrolled emission rates for that source, to the extent this 
information is needed by the permitting authority to determine MACT;
    (ix) The controlled emissions for the constructed or reconstructed 
major source in tons/yr at expected and maximum utilization of capacity, 
to the extent this information is needed by the permitting authority to 
determine MACT;
    (x) A recommended emission limitation for the constructed or 
reconstructed major source consistent with the principles set forth in 
paragraph (d) of this section;
    (xi) The selected control technology to meet the recommended MACT 
emission limitation, including technical information on the design, 
operation, size, estimated control efficiency of the control technology 
(and the manufacturer's name, address, telephone number, and relevant 
specifications and drawings, if requested by the permitting authority);
    (xii) Supporting documentation including identification of 
alternative control technologies considered by the applicant to meet the 
emission limitation, and analysis of cost and non-air quality health 
environmental impacts or energy requirements for the selected control 
technology; and
    (xiii) Any other relevant information required pursuant to subpart 
A.
    (3) In each instance where the owner or operator contends that a 
constructed or reconstructed major source will be in compliance, upon 
startup, with case-by-case MACT under this subpart without a change in 
control technology, the application for a MACT determination shall 
contain the following information:
    (i) The information described in paragraphs (e)(2)(i) through 
(e)(2)(x) of this section; and
    (ii) Documentation of the control technology in place.
    (f) Administrative procedures for review of the Notice of MACT 
Approval. (1) The permitting authority will notify the owner or operator 
in writing, within 45 days from the date the application is first 
received, as to whether the application for a MACT determination is 
complete or whether additional information is required.
    (2) The permitting authority will initially approve the recommended 
MACT emission limitation and other terms set forth in the application, 
or the permitting authority will notify the owner or operator in writing 
of its intent to disapprove the application, within 30 calendar days 
after the owner or operator is notified in writing that the application 
is complete.
    (3) The owner or operator may present, in writing, within 60 
calendar days after receipt of notice of the permitting authority's 
intent to disapprove the application, additional information or 
arguments pertaining to, or amendments to, the application for 
consideration by the permitting authority before it decides whether to 
finally disapprove the application.
    (4) The permitting authority will either initially approve or issue 
a final disapproval of the application within 90 days after it notifies 
the owner or operator of an intent to disapprove or within 30 days after 
the date additional information is received from the owner or operator; 
whichever is earlier.
    (5) A final determination by the permitting authority to disapprove 
any application will be in writing and will specify the grounds on which 
the disapproval is based. If any application is finally disapproved, the 
owner or operator may submit a subsequent application concerning 
construction or reconstruction of the same major source, provided that 
the subsequent application has been amended in response to the stated 
grounds for the prior disapproval.
    (6) An initial decision to approve an application for a MACT 
determination will be set forth in the Notice of MACT Approval as 
described in paragraph (g) of this section.
    (g) Notice of MACT Approval. (1) The Notice of MACT Approval will 
contain

[[Page 94]]

a MACT emission limitation (or a MACT work practice standard if the 
permitting authority determines it is not feasible to prescribe or 
enforce an emission standard) to control the emissions of HAP. The MACT 
emission limitation or standard will be determined by the permitting 
authority and will conform to the principles set forth in paragraph (d) 
of this section.
    (2) The Notice of MACT Approval will specify any notification, 
operation and maintenance, performance testing, monitoring, reporting 
and record keeping requirements. The Notice of MACT Approval shall 
include:
    (i) In addition to the MACT emission limitation or MACT work 
practice standard established under this subpart, additional emission 
limits, production limits, operational limits or other terms and 
conditions necessary to ensure Federal enforceability of the MACT 
emission limitation;
    (ii) Compliance certifications, testing, monitoring, reporting and 
record keeping requirements that are consistent with the requirements of 
Sec.  70.6(c) of this chapter;
    (iii) In accordance with section 114(a)(3) of the Act, monitoring 
shall be capable of demonstrating continuous compliance during the 
applicable reporting period. Such monitoring data shall be of sufficient 
quality to be used as a basis for enforcing all applicable requirements 
established under this subpart, including emission limitations;
    (iv) A statement requiring the owner or operator to comply with all 
applicable requirements contained in subpart A of this part;
    (3) All provisions contained in the Notice of MACT Approval shall be 
federally enforceable upon the effective date of issuance of such 
notice, as provided by paragraph (j) of this section.
    (4) The Notice of MACT Approval shall expire if construction or 
reconstruction has not commenced within 18 months of issuance, unless 
the permitting authority has granted an extension which shall not exceed 
an additional 12 months.
    (h) Opportunity for public comment on the Notice of MACT Approval. 
(1) The permitting authority will provide opportunity for public comment 
on the Notice of MACT Approval, including, at a minimum:
    (i) Availability for public inspection in at least one location in 
the area affected of the information submitted by the owner or operator 
and of the permitting authority's initial decision to approve the 
application;
    (ii) A 30-day period for submittal of public comment; and
    (iii) A notice by prominent advertisement in the area affected of 
the location of the source information and initial decision specified in 
paragraph (h)(1)(i) of this section.
    (2) At the discretion of the permitting authority, the Notice of 
MACT Approval setting forth the initial decision to approve the 
application may become final automatically at the end of the comment 
period if no adverse comments are received. If adverse comments are 
received, the permitting authority shall have 30 days after the end of 
the comment period to make any necessary revisions in its analysis and 
decide whether to finally approve the application.
    (i) EPA notification. The permitting authority shall send a copy of 
the final Notice of MACT Approval, notice of approval of a title V 
permit application incorporating a MACT determination (in those 
instances where the owner or operator either is required or elects to 
obtain such a permit before construction or reconstruction), or other 
notice of approval issued pursuant to paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this 
section to the Administrator through the appropriate Regional Office, 
and to all other State and local air pollution control agencies having 
jurisdiction in affected States.
    (j) Effective date. The effective date of a MACT determination shall 
be the date the Notice of MACT Approval becomes final, the date of 
issuance of a title V permit incorporating a MACT determination (in 
those instances where the owner or operator either is required or elects 
to obtain such a permit before construction or reconstruction), or the 
date any other notice of approval issued pursuant to paragraph 
(c)(2)(ii) of this section becomes final.
    (k) Compliance date. On and after the date of start-up, a 
constructed or reconstructed major source which is subject to the 
requirements of this subpart

[[Page 95]]

shall be in compliance with all applicable requirements specified in the 
MACT determination.
    (l) Compliance with MACT determinations. (1) An owner or operator of 
a constructed or reconstructed major source that is subject to a MACT 
determination shall comply with all requirements in the final Notice of 
MACT Approval, the title V permit (in those instances where the owner or 
operator either is required or elects to obtain such a permit before 
construction or reconstruction), or any other final notice of approval 
issued pursuant to paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section, including but 
not limited to any MACT emission limitation or MACT work practice 
standard, and any notification, operation and maintenance, performance 
testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.
    (2) An owner or operator of a constructed or reconstructed major 
source which has obtained a MACT determination shall be deemed to be in 
compliance with section 112(g)(2)(B) of the Act only to the extent that 
the constructed or reconstructed major source is in compliance with all 
requirements set forth in the final Notice of MACT Approval, the title V 
permit (in those instances where the owner or operator either is 
required or elects to obtain such a permit before construction or 
reconstruction), or any other final notice of approval issued pursuant 
to paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section. Any violation of such 
requirements by the owner or operator shall be deemed by the permitting 
authority and by EPA to be a violation of the prohibition on 
construction or reconstruction in section 112(g)(2)(B) for whatever 
period the owner or operator is determined to be in violation of such 
requirements, and shall subject the owner or operator to appropriate 
enforcement action under the Act.
    (m) Reporting to the Administrator. Within 60 days of the issuance 
of a final Notice of MACT Approval, a title V permit incorporating a 
MACT determination (in those instances where the owner or operator 
either is required or elects to obtain such a permit before construction

pursuant to paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section, the permitting 
authority shall provide a copy of such notice to the Administrator, and 
shall provide a summary in a compatible electronic format for inclusion 
in the MACT data base.

[61 FR 68401, Dec. 27, 1996]



Sec.  63.44  Requirements for constructed or reconstructed major sources
subject to a subsequently promulgated MACT standard or MACT requirement.

    (a) If the Administrator promulgates an emission standard under 
section 112(d) or section 112(h) of the Act or the permitting authority 
issues a determination under section 112(j) of the Act that is 
applicable to a stationary source or group of sources which would be 
deemed to be a constructed or reconstructed major source under this 
subpart before the date that the owner or operator has obtained a final 
and legally effective MACT determination under any of the review options 
available pursuant to Sec.  63.43, the owner or operator of the 
source(s) shall comply with the promulgated standard or determination 
rather than any MACT determination under section 112(g) by the 
permitting authority, and the owner or operator shall comply with the 
promulgated standard by the compliance date in the promulgated standard.
    (b) If the Administrator promulgates an emission standard under 
section 112(d) or section 112(h) of the Act or the permitting authority 
makes a determination under section 112(j) of the Act that is applicable 
to a stationary source or group of sources which was deemed to be a 
constructed or reconstructed major source under this subpart and has 
been subject to a prior case-by-case MACT determination pursuant to 
Sec.  63.43, and the owner and operator obtained a final and legally 
effective case-by-case MACT determination prior to the promulgation date 
of such emission standard, then the permitting authority shall (if the 
initial title V permit has not yet been issued) issue an initial 
operating permit which incorporates the emission standard or 
determination, or shall (if the initial title V permit has been issued) 
revise the operating permit according to the reopening procedures in 40 
CFR part 70

[[Page 96]]

or part 71, whichever is relevant, to incorporate the emission standard 
or determination.
    (1) The EPA may include in the emission standard established under 
section 112(d) or section 112(h) of the Act a specific compliance date 
for those sources which have obtained a final and legally effective MACT 
determination under this subpart and which have submitted the 
information required by Sec.  63.43 to the EPA before the close of the 
public comment period for the standard established under section 112(d) 
of the Act. Such date shall assure that the owner or operator shall 
comply with the promulgated standard as expeditiously as practicable, 
but not longer than 8 years after such standard is promulgated. In that 
event, the permitting authority shall incorporate the applicable 
compliance date in the title V operating permit.
    (2) If no compliance date has been established in the promulgated 
112(d) or 112(h) standard or section 112(j) determination, for those 
sources which have obtained a final and legally effective MACT 
determination under this subpart, then the permitting authority shall 
establish a compliance date in the permit that assures that the owner or 
operator shall comply with the promulgated standard or determination as 
expeditiously as practicable, but not longer than 8 years after such 
standard is promulgated or a section 112(j) determination is made.
    (c) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of 
this section, if the Administrator promulgates an emission standard 
under section 112(d) or section 112(h) of the Act or the permitting 
authority issues a determination under section 112(j) of the Act that is 
applicable to a stationary source or group of sources which was deemed 
to be a constructed or reconstructed major source under this subpart and 
which is the subject of a prior case-by-case MACT determination pursuant 
to Sec.  63.43, and the level of control required by the emission 
standard issued under section 112(d) or section 112(h) or the 
determination issued under section 112(j) is less stringent than the 
level of control required by any emission limitation or standard in the 
prior MACT determination, the permitting authority is not required to 
incorporate any less stringent terms of the promulgated standard in the 
title V operating permit applicable to such source(s) and may in its 
discretion consider any more stringent provisions of the prior MACT 
determination to be applicable legal requirements when issuing or 
revising such an operating permit.

Sec. Sec.  63.45-63.49  [Reserved]



Sec.  63.50  Applicability.

    (a) General applicability. (1) The requirements of this section 
through Sec.  63.56 implement section 112(j) of the Clean Air Act (as 
amended in 1990). The requirements of this section through Sec.  63.56 
apply in each State beginning on the effective date of an approved title 
V permit program in such State. The requirements of this section through 
Sec.  63.56 do not apply to research or laboratory activities as defined 
in Sec.  63.51.
    (2) The requirements of this section through Sec.  63.56 apply to:
    (i) The owner or operator of affected sources within a source 
category or subcategory under this part that are located at a major 
source that is subject to an approved title V permit program and for 
which the Administrator has failed to promulgate emission standards by 
the section 112(j) deadlines. If title V applicability has been deferred 
for a source category, then section 112(j) is not applicable for sources 
in that category within that State, local or tribal jurisdiction until 
those sources become subject to title V permitting requirements; and
    (ii) Permitting authorities with an approved title V permit program.
    (b) Relationship to State and local requirements. Nothing in 
Sec. Sec.  63.50 through 63.56 shall prevent a State or local regulatory 
agency from imposing more stringent requirements, as a matter of State 
or local law, than those contained in Sec. Sec.  63.50 through 63.56.
    (c) The procedures in Sec. Sec.  63.50 through 63.56 apply for each 
affected source only after the section 112(j) deadline for the source 
category or subcategory in question has passed, and only until such time 
as a generally applicable Federal standard governing that source

[[Page 97]]

has been promulgated under section 112(d) or 112(h) of the Act. Once a 
generally applicable Federal standard governing that source has been 
promulgated, the owner or operator of the affected source and the 
permitting authority are not required to take any further actions to 
develop an equivalent emission limitation under section 112(j) of the 
Act.
    (d) Any final equivalent emission limitation for an affected source 
which is issued by the permitting authority pursuant to Sec. Sec.  63.50 
through 63.56 prior to promulgation of a generally applicable Federal 
standard governing that source under section 112(d) or 112(h) of the Act 
shall be deemed an applicable Federal requirement adopted pursuant to 
section 112(j) of the Act. Each such equivalent emission limitation 
shall take effect upon issuance of the permit containing that limitation 
under section 112(j)(5) of the Act, and shall remain applicable to the 
source until such time as it may be revised or supplanted pursuant to 
the procedures established by Sec. Sec.  63.50 through 63.56. Such a 
final equivalent emission limitation, and all associated requirements 
adopted pursuant to Sec.  63.52(f)(2), are directly enforceable under 
Federal law regardless of whether or not any permit in which they may be 
contained remains in effect.

Sec.  63.51  Definitions.

    Terms used in Sec. Sec.  63.50 through 63.56 that are not defined in 
this section have the meaning given to them in the Act, or in subpart A 
of this part.
    Affected source means the collection of equipment, activities, or 
both within a single contiguous area and under common control that is in 
a section 112(c) source category or subcategory for which the 
Administrator has failed to promulgate an emission standard by the 
section 112(j) deadline, and that is addressed by an applicable MACT 
emission limitation established pursuant to this subpart.
    Available information means, for purposes of conducting a MACT floor 
finding and identifying control technology options under this subpart, 
any information that is available as of the date on which the first Part 
2 MACT application is filed for a source in the relevant source category 
or subcategory in the State or jurisdiction; and, pursuant to the 
requirements of this subpart, is additional relevant information that 
can be expeditiously provided by the Administrator, is submitted by the 
applicant or others prior to or during the public comment period on the 
section 112(j) equivalent emission limitation for that source, or 
information contained in the information sources in paragraphs (1) 
through (5) of this definition.
    (1) A relevant proposed regulation, including all supporting 
information;
    (2) Relevant background information documents for a draft or 
proposed regulation.
    (3) Any relevant regulation, information or guidance collected by 
the Administrator establishing a MACT floor finding and/or MACT 
determination.
    (4) Relevant data and information available from the Clean Air 
Technology Center developed pursuant to section 112(l)(3) of the Act.
    (5) Relevant data and information contained in the Aerometric 
Information Retrieval System (AIRS).
    (6) Any additional information that can be expeditiously provided by 
the Administrator, and
    (7) Any information provided by applicants in an application for a 
permit, permit modification, administrative amendment, or Notice of MACT 
Approval pursuant to the requirements of this subpart.
    (8) Any additional relevant information provided by the applicant.
    Control technology means measures, processes, methods, systems, or 
techniques to limit the emission of hazardous air pollutants including, 
but not limited to, measures which:
    (1) Reduce the quantity, or eliminate emissions, of such pollutants 
through process changes, substitution of materials or other 
modifications;
    (2) Enclose systems or processes to eliminate emissions;
    (3) Collect, capture, or treat such pollutants when released from a 
process, stack, storage or fugitive emissions point;

[[Page 98]]

    (4) Are design, equipment, work practice, or operational standards 
(including requirements for operator training or certification) as 
provided in 42 U.S.C. 7412(h); or
    (5) Are a combination of paragraphs (1) through (4) of this 
definition.
    Enhanced review means a review process containing all administrative 
steps needed to ensure that the terms and conditions resulting from the 
review process can be incorporated using title V permitting procedures.
    Equivalent emission limitation means an emission limitation, 
established under section 112(j) of the Act, which is equivalent to the 
MACT standard that EPA would have promulgated under section 112(d) or 
(h) of the Act.
    Maximum achievable control technology (MACT) emission limitation for 
existing sources means the emission limitation reflecting the maximum 
degree of reduction in emissions of hazardous air pollutants (including 
a prohibition on such emissions, where achievable) that the 
Administrator, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such 
emission reductions, and any non-air quality health and environmental 
impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable by sources in 
the category or subcategory to which such emission standard applies. 
This limitation shall not be less stringent than the MACT floor.
    Maximum achievable control technology (MACT) emission limitation for 
new sources means the emission limitation which is not less stringent 
than the emission limitation achieved in practice by the best controlled 
similar source, and which reflects the maximum degree of reduction in 
emissions of hazardous air pollutants (including a prohibition on such 
emissions, where achievable) that the Administrator, taking into 
consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction, and any 
non-air quality health and environmental impacts and energy 
requirements, determines is achievable by sources in the category or 
subcategory to which such emission standard applies.
    Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) floor means:
    (1) For existing sources:
    (i) The average emission limitation achieved by the best performing 
12 percent of the existing sources in the United States (for which the 
Administrator has emissions information), excluding those sources that 
have, within 18 months before the emission standard is proposed or 
within 30 months before such standard is promulgated, whichever is 
later, first achieved a level of emission rate or emission reduction 
which complies, or would comply if the source is not subject to such 
standard, with the lowest achievable emission rate (as defined in 
section 171 of the Act) applicable to the source category and prevailing 
at the time, in the category or subcategory, for categories and 
subcategories of stationary sources with 30 or more sources; or
    (ii) The average emission limitation achieved by the best performing 
five sources (for which the Administrator has or could reasonably obtain 
emissions information) in the category or subcategory, for categories or 
subcategories with fewer than 30 sources;
    (2) For new sources, the emission limitation achieved in practice by 
the best controlled similar source.
    New affected source means the collection of equipment, activities, 
or both, that if constructed after the issuance of a section 112(j) 
permit for the source pursuant to Sec.  63.52, is subject to the 
applicable MACT emission limitation for new sources. Each permit must 
define the term ``new affected source,'' which will be the same as the 
``affected source'' unless a different collection is warranted based on 
consideration of factors including:
    (1) Emission reduction impacts of controlling individual sources 
versus groups of sources;
    (2) Cost effectiveness of controlling individual equipment;
    (3) Flexibility to accommodate common control strategies;
    (4) Cost/benefits of emissions averaging;
    (5) Incentives for pollution prevention;
    (6) Feasibility and cost of controlling processes that share common 
equipment (e.g., product recovery devices);
    (7) Feasibility and cost of monitoring; and
    (8) Other relevant factors.

[[Page 99]]

    Permitting authority means the permitting authority as defined in 
part 70 of this chapter.
    Research or laboratory activities means activities whose primary 
purpose is to conduct research and development into new processes and 
products where such activities are operated under the close supervision 
of technically trained personnel and are not engaged in the manufacture 
of products for commercial sale in commerce, except in a de minimis 
manner; and where the source is not in a source category, specifically 
addressing research or laboratory activities, that is listed pursuant to 
section 112(c)(7) of the Act.
    Section 112(j) deadline means the date 18 months after the date for 
which a relevant standard is scheduled to be promulgated under this 
part, except that for all major sources listed in the source category 
schedule for which a relevant standard is scheduled to be promulgated by 
November 15, 1994, the section 112(j) deadline is November 15, 1996, and 
for all major sources listed in the source category schedule for which a 
relevant standard is scheduled to be promulgated by November 15, 1997, 
the section 112(j) deadline is December 15, 1999.
    Similar source means that equipment or collection of equipment that, 
by virtue of its structure, operability, type of emissions and volume 
and concentration of emissions, is substantially equivalent to the new 
affected source and employs control technology for control of emissions 
of hazardous air pollutants that is practical for use on the new 
affected source.
    Source category schedule for standards means the schedule for 
promulgating MACT standards issued pursuant to section 112(e) of the 
Act.

Sec.  63.52  Approval process for new and existing affected sources.

    (a) Sources subject to section 112(j) as of the section 112(j) 
deadline. The requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section 
apply to major sources that include, as of the section 112(j) deadline, 
one or more sources in a category or subcategory for which the 
Administrator has failed to promulgate an emission standard under this 
part on or before an applicable section 112(j) deadline. Existing source 
MACT requirements (including relevant compliance deadlines), as 
specified in a title V permit issued to the source pursuant to the 
requirements of the subpart, must apply to such sources.
    (1) The owner or operator must submit an application for a title V 
permit or for a revision to an existing title V permit or a pending 
title V permit meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) by the section 
112(j) deadline if the owner or operator can reasonably determine that 
one or more sources at the major source belong in the category or 
subcategory subject to section 112(j).
    (2) If an application was not submitted under paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section and if notified by the permitting authority, the owner or 
operator must submit an application for a title V permit or for a 
revision to an existing title V permit or a pending title V permit 
meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) within 30 days after being 
notified in writing by the permitting authority that one or more sources 
at the major source belong to such category or subcategory. Permitting 
authorities are not required to make such notification.
    (3) The requirements in paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through (ii) of this 
section apply when the owner or operator has obtained a title V permit 
that incorporates a case-by-case MACT determination by the permitting 
authority under section 112(g) or has submitted a title V permit 
application for a revision that incorporates a case-by-case MACT 
determination under section 112(g), but has not submitted an application 
for a title V permit revision that addresses the emission limitation 
requirements of section 112(j).
    (i) When the owner or operator has a title V permit that 
incorporates a case-by-case MACT determination by the permitting 
authority under section 112(g), the owner or operator must submit an 
application meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) for a title V 
permit revision within 30 days of the section 112(j) deadline or within 
30 days

[[Page 100]]

of being notified in writing by the permitting authority that one or 
more sources at the major source belong in such category or subcategory. 
Using the procedures established in paragraph (e) of this section, the 
permitting authority must determine whether the emission limitations 
adopted pursuant to the prior case-by-case MACT determination under 
section 112(g) are substantially as effective as the emission 
limitations which the permitting authority would otherwise adopt 
pursuant to section 112(j) for the source in question. If the permitting 
authority determines that the emission limitations previously adopted to 
effectuate section 112(g) are substantially as effective as the emission 
limitations which the permitting authority would otherwise adopt to 
effectuate section 112(j) for the source, then the permitting authority 
must retain the existing emission limitations in the permit as the 
emission limitations to effectuate section 112(j). The title V permit 
applicable to that source must be revised accordingly. If the permitting 
authority does not retain the existing emission limitations in the 
permit as the emission limitations to effectuate section 112(j), the 
MACT requirements of this subpart are satisfied upon issuance of a 
revised title V permit incorporating any additional section 112(j) 
requirements.
    (ii) When the owner or operator has submitted a title V permit 
application that incorporates a case-by-case MACT determination by the 
permitting authority under section 112(g), but has not received the 
permit incorporating the section 112(g) requirements, the owner or 
operator must continue to pursue a title V permit that addresses the 
emission limitation requirements of section 112(g). Within 30 days of 
issuance of that title V permit, the owner or operator must submit an 
application meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) for a change to 
the existing title V permit. Using the procedures established in 
paragraph (e) of this section, the permitting authority must determine 
whether the emission limitations adopted pursuant to the prior case-by-
case MACT determination under section 112(g) are substantially as 
effective as the emission limitations which the permitting authority 
would otherwise adopt pursuant to section 112(j) for the source in 
question. If the permitting authority determines that the emission 
limitations previously adopted to effectuate section 112(g) are 
substantially as effective as the emission limitations which the 
permitting authority would otherwise adopt to effectuate section 112(j) 
for the source, then the permitting authority must retain the existing 
emission limitations in the permit as the emission limitations to 
effectuate section 112(j). The title V permit applicable to that source 
must be revised accordingly. If the permitting authority does not retain 
the existing emission limitations in the permit as the emission 
limitations to effectuate section 112(j), the MACT requirements of this 
subpart are satisfied upon issuance of a revised title V permit 
incorporating any additional section 112(j) requirements.
    (b) Sources that become subject to section 112(j) after the section 
112(j) deadline and that do not have a title V permit addressing section 
112(j) requirements. The requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) 
of this section apply to sources that do not meet the criteria in 
paragraph (a) of this section on the section 112(j) deadline and are, 
therefore, not subject to section 112(j) on that date, but where events 
occur subsequent to the section 112(j) deadline that would bring the 
source under the requirements of this subpart, and the source does not 
have a title V permit that addresses the requirements of section 112(j).
    (1) When one or more sources in a category or subcategory subject to 
the requirements of this subpart are installed at a major source, or 
result in the source becoming a major source due to the installation, 
and the installation does not invoke section 112(g) requirements, the 
owner or operator must submit an application meeting the requirements of 
Sec.  63.53(a) within 30 days of startup of the source. This application 
shall be reviewed using the procedures established in paragraph (e) of 
this section. Existing source MACT requirements (including relevant 
compliance deadlines), as specified in a title V permit issued pursuant 
to the

[[Page 101]]

requirements of this subpart, shall apply to such sources.
    (2) The requirements in this paragraph apply when one or more 
sources in a category or subcategory subject to this subpart are 
installed at a major source, or result in the source becoming a major 
source due to the installation, and the installation does require 
emission limitations to be established and permitted under section 
112(g), and the owner or operator has not submitted an application for a 
title V permit revision that addresses the emission limitation 
requirements of section 112(j). In this case, the owner or operator must 
apply for and obtain a title V permit that addresses the emission 
limitation requirements of section 112(g). Within 30 days of issuance of 
that title V permit, the owner or operator must submit an application 
meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) for a revision to the 
existing title V permit. Using the procedures established in paragraph 
(e) of this section, the permitting authority must determine whether the 
emission limitations adopted pursuant to the prior case-by-case MACT 
determination under section 112(g) are substantially as effective as the 
emission limitations which the permitting authority would otherwise 
adopt pursuant to section 112(j) for the source in question. If the 
permitting authority determines that the emission limitations previously 
adopted to effectuate section 112(g) are substantially as effective as 
the emission limitations which the permitting authority would otherwise 
adopt to effectuate section 112(j) for the source, then the permitting 
authority must retain the existing emission limitations in the permit as 
the emission limitations to effectuate section 112(j). The title V 
permit applicable to that source must be revised accordingly. If the 
permitting authority does not retain the existing emission limitations 
in the permit as the emission limitations to effectuate section 112(j), 
the MACT requirements of this subpart are satisfied upon issuance of a 
revised title V permit incorporating any additional section 112(j) 
requirements.
    (3) The owner or operator of an area source that, due to a 
relaxation in any federally enforceable emission limitation (such as a 
restriction on hours of operation), increases its potential to emit 
hazardous air pollutants such that the source becomes a major source 
that is subject to this subpart, must submit an application meeting the 
requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) for a title V permit or for an 
application for a title V permit revision within 30 days after the date 
that such source becomes a major source. This application must be 
reviewed using the procedures established in paragraph (e) of this 
section. Existing source MACT requirements (including relevant 
compliance deadlines), as specified in a title V permit issued pursuant 
to the requirements of this subpart, must apply to such sources.
    (4) On or after April 5, 2002, if the Administrator establishes a 
lesser quantity emission rate under section 112(a)(1) of the Act that 
results in an area source becoming a major source that is subject to 
this subpart, then the owner or operator of such a major source must 
submit an application meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) for a 
title V permit or for a change to an existing title V permit or pending 
title V permit on or before the date 6 months after the date that such 
source becomes a major source. Existing source MACT requirements 
(including relevant compliance deadlines), as specified in a title V 
permit issued pursuant to the requirements of this subpart, shall apply 
to such sources.
    (c) Sources that have a title V permit addressing section 112(j) 
requirements. The requirements of paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this 
section apply to major sources that include one or more sources in a 
category or subcategory for which the Administrator fails to promulgate 
an emission standard under this part on or before an applicable section 
112(j) deadline, and the owner or operator has a permit meeting the 
section 112(j) requirements, and where changes occur at the major source 
to equipment, activities, or both, subsequent to the section 112(j) 
deadline.
    (1) If the title V permit already provides the appropriate 
requirements that address the events that occur under paragraph (c) of 
this section subsequent to the section 112(j) deadline, then the source 
must comply with the

[[Page 102]]

applicable new source MACT or existing source MACT requirements as 
specified in the permit, and the section 112(j) requirements are thus 
satisfied.
    (2) If the title V permit does not contain the appropriate 
requirements that address the events that occur under paragraph (c) of 
this section subsequent to the section 112(j) deadline, then the owner 
or operator must submit an application for a revision to the existing 
title V permit that meets the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a). The 
application must be submitted within 30 days of beginning construction 
and must be reviewed using the procedures established in paragraph (e) 
of this section. Existing source MACT requirements (including relevant 
compliance deadlines), as specified in a title V permit issued pursuant 
to the requirements of this subpart, shall apply to such sources.
    (d) Requests for applicability determination or notice of MACT 
approval. (1) An owner or operator who is unsure of whether one or more 
sources at a major source belong in a category or subcategory for which 
the Administrator has failed to promulgate an emission standard under 
this part may, on or before an applicable section 112(j) deadline, 
request an applicability determination from the permitting authority by 
submitting an application meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) by 
the applicable deadlines specified in paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) of 
this section.
    (2) In addition to meeting the requirements of paragraphs (a), (b), 
and (c) of this section, the owner or operator of a new affected source 
may submit an application for a Notice of MACT Approval before 
construction, pursuant to Sec.  63.54.
    (e) Permit application review. (1) Each owner or operator who is 
required to submit to the permitting authority a Part 1 MACT application 
which meets the requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) for one or more sources 
in a category or subcategory subject to section 112(j) must also submit 
to the permitting authority a timely Part 2 MACT application for the 
same sources which meets the requirements of Sec.  63.53(b). Each owner 
or operator shall submit the Part 2 MACT application for the sources in 
a particular category or subcategory no later than the applicable date 
specified in table 1 to this subpart. The submission date specified in 
table 1 to this subpart for Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing 
shall apply to sources in each of the source categories listed in table 
2 to this subpart. When the owner or operator is required by Sec. Sec.  
63.50 through 63.56 to submit an application meeting the requirements of 
Sec.  63.53(a) by a date which is after the date for a Part 2 MACT 
application for sources in the category or subcategory in question 
established by table 1 to this subpart, the owner or operator shall 
submit a Part 2 MACT application meeting the requirements of Sec.  
63.53(b) within 60 additional days after the applicable deadline for 
submission of the Part 1 MACT application. Part 2 MACT applications must 
be reviewed by the permitting authority according to procedures 
established in Sec.  63.55. The resulting MACT determination must be 
incorporated into the source's title V permit according to procedures 
established under title V, and any other regulations approved under 
title V in the jurisdiction in which the affected source is located.
    (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (e)(1) of this section, the owner or 
operator may request either an applicability determination or an 
equivalency determination by the permitting authority as provided in 
paragraphs (e)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section.
    (i) Each owner or operator who submitted a request for an 
applicability determination pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of this section 
on or before May 15, 2002, which remains pending before the permitting 
authority on May 30, 2003, and who still wishes to obtain such a 
determination, must resubmit that request by July 29, 2003, or by the 
date which is 60 days after the Administrator publishes in the Federal 
Register a proposed standard under section 112(d) or 112(h) of the Act 
for the category or subcategory in question, whichever is later. Each 
request for an applicability determination which is resubmitted under 
this paragraph (e)(2)(i) must be supplemented to discuss the relation 
between the source(s) in question and the applicability provision in the 
proposed standard for the

[[Page 103]]

category or subcategory in question, and to explain why there may still 
be uncertainties that require a determination of applicability. The 
permitting authority must take action upon each properly resubmitted and 
supplemented request for an applicability determination within an 
additional 60 days after the applicable deadline for the resubmitted 
request. If the applicability determination is positive, the owner or 
operator must submit a Part 2 MACT application meeting the requirements 
of Sec.  63.53(b) by the date specified for the category or subcategory 
in question in Table 1 to this subpart. If the applicability 
determination is negative, then no further action by the owner or 
operator is necessary.
    (ii) As specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, an 
owner or operator who has submitted an application meeting the 
requirements of Sec.  63.53(a) may request a determination by the 
permitting authority of whether emission limitations adopted pursuant to 
a prior case-by-case MACT determination under section 112(g) that apply 
to one or more sources at a major source in a relevant category or 
subcategory are substantially as effective as the emission limitations 
which the permitting authority would otherwise adopt pursuant to section 
112(j) for the source in question. Such a request must be submitted by 
the date for the category or subcategory in question specified in Table 
1 to this subpart. Any owner or operator who previously submitted such a 
request under a prior version of this paragraph (e)(2)(ii) need not 
resubmit the request. Each request for an equivalency determination 
under this paragraph (e)(2)(ii), regardless of when it was submitted, 
will be construed in the alternative as a complete application for an 
equivalent emission limitation under section 112(j). The process for 
determination by the permitting authority of whether the emission 
limitations in the prior case-by-case MACT determination are 
substantially as effective as the emission limitations which the 
permitting authority would otherwise adopt under section 112(j) must 
include the opportunity for full public, EPA, and affected State review 
prior to a final determination. If the permitting authority determines 
that the emission limitations in the prior case-by-case MACT 
determination are substantially as effective as the emission limitations 
which the permitting authority would otherwise adopt under section 
112(j), then the permitting authority must adopt the existing emission 
limitations in the permit as the emission limitations to effectuate 
section 112(j) for the source in question. If more than 3 years remain 
on the current title V permit, the owner or operator must submit an 
application for a title V permit revision to make any conforming changes 
in the permit required to adopt the existing emission limitations as the 
section 112(j) MACT emission limitations. If less than 3 years remain on 
the current title V permit, any required conforming changes must be made 
when the permit is renewed. If the permitting authority determines that 
the emission limitations in the prior case-by-case MACT determination 
under section 112(g) are not substantially as effective as the emission 
limitations which the permitting authority would otherwise adopt for the 
source in question under section 112(j), the permitting authority must 
make a new MACT determination and adopt a title V permit incorporating 
an appropriate equivalent emission limitation under section 112(j). Such 
a determination constitutes final action for purposes of judicial review 
under 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(x) and corresponding State title V program 
provisions.
    (3) Within 60 days of submittal of the Part 2 MACT application, the 
permitting authority must notify the owner or operator in writing 
whether the application is complete or incomplete. The Part 2 MACT 
application shall be deemed complete on the date it was submitted unless 
the permitting authority notifies the owner or operator in writing 
within 60 days of the submittal that the Part 2 MACT application is 
incomplete. A Part 2 MACT application is complete if it is sufficient to 
begin processing the application for a title V permit addressing section 
112(j) requirements. In the event that the permitting authority 
disapproves a permit application or determines that the application is 
incomplete, the

[[Page 104]]

owner or operator must revise and resubmit the application to meet the 
objections of the permitting authority. The permitting authority must 
specify a reasonable period in which the owner or operator is required 
to remedy the deficiencies in the disapproved or incomplete application. 
This period may not exceed 6 months from the date the owner or operator 
is first notified that the application has been disapproved or is 
incomplete.
    (4) Following submittal of a Part 1 or Part 2 MACT application, the 
permitting authority may request additional information from the owner 
or operator. The owner or operator must respond to such requests in a 
timely manner.
    (5) If the owner or operator has submitted a timely and complete 
application as required by this section, any failure to have a title V 
permit addressing section 112(j) requirements shall not be a violation 
of section 112(j), unless the delay in final action is due to the 
failure of the applicant to submit, in a timely manner, information 
required or requested to process the application. Once a complete 
application is submitted, the owner or operator shall not be in 
violation of the requirement to have a title V permit addressing section 
112(j) requirements.
    (f) Permit content. The title V permit must contain an equivalent 
emission limitation (or limitations) for the relevant category or 
subcategory determined on a case-by-case basis by the permitting 
authority, or, if the applicable criteria in subpart D of this part are 
met, the title V permit may contain an alternative emission limitation. 
For the purposes of the preceding sentence, early reductions made 
pursuant to section 112(i)(5)(A) of the Act must be achieved not later 
than the date on which the relevant standard should have been 
promulgated according to the source category schedule for standards.
    (1) The title V permit must contain an emission standard or emission 
limitation that is equivalent to existing source MACT and an emission 
standard or emission limitation that is equivalent to new source MACT 
for control of emissions of hazardous air pollutants. The MACT emission 
standards or limitations must be determined by the permitting authority 
and must be based on the degree of emission reductions that can be 
achieved if the control technologies or work practices are installed, 
maintained, and operated properly. The permit must also specify the 
affected source and the new affected source. If construction of a new 
affected source or reconstruction of an affected source commences after 
a title V permit meeting the requirements of section 112(j) has been 
issued for the source, the new source MACT compliance dates must apply.
    (2) The title V permit must specify any notification, operation and 
maintenance, performance testing, monitoring, and reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements. In developing the title V permit, the 
permitting authority must consider and specify the appropriate 
provisions of subpart A of this part. The title V permit must also 
include the information in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) through (iii) of this 
section.
    (i) In addition to the MACT emission limitation required by 
paragraph (f)(1) of this section, additional emission limits, production 
limits, operational limits or other terms and conditions necessary to 
ensure practicable enforceability of the MACT emission limitation.
    (ii) Compliance certifications, testing, monitoring, reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements that are consistent with requirements 
established pursuant to title V and paragraph (h) of this section.
    (iii) Compliance dates by which the owner or operator must be in 
compliance with the MACT emission limitation and all other applicable 
terms and conditions of the permit.
    (A) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to the 
requirements of this subpart must comply with the emission limitation(s) 
by the date established in the source's title V permit. In no case shall 
such compliance date be later than 3 years after the issuance of the 
permit for that source, except where the permitting authority issues a 
permit that grants an additional year to comply in accordance with 
section 112(i)(3)(B) of the Act, or unless otherwise specified in

[[Page 105]]

section 112(i), or in subpart D of this part.
    (B) The owner or operator of a new affected source, as defined in 
the title V permit meeting the requirements of section 112(j), that is 
subject to the requirements of this subpart must comply with a new 
source MACT level of control immediately upon startup of the new 
affected source.
    (g) Permit issuance dates. The permitting authority must issue a 
title V permit meeting section 112(j) requirements within 18 months 
after submittal of the complete Part 2 MACT application.
    (h) Enhanced monitoring. In accordance with section 114(a)(3) of the 
Act, monitoring shall be capable of demonstrating continuous compliance 
for each compliance period during the applicable reporting period. Such 
monitoring data shall be of sufficient quality to be used as a basis for 
directly enforcing all applicable requirements established under this 
subpart, including emission limitations.
    (i) MACT emission limitations. (1) The owner or operator of affected 
sources subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section must 
comply with all requirements of this subpart that are applicable to 
affected sources, including the compliance date for affected sources 
established in paragraph (f)(2)(iii)(A) of this section.
    (2) The owner or operator of new affected sources subject to 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section must comply with all requirements of 
this subpart that are applicable to new affected sources, including the 
compliance date for new affected sources established in paragraph 
(f)(2)(iii)(B) of this section.

Sec.  63.53  Application content for case-by-case MACT determinations.

    (a) Part 1 MACT application. The Part 1 application for a MACT 
determination must contain the information in paragraphs (a)(1) through 
(4) of this section.
    (1) The name and address (physical location) of the major source.
    (2) A brief description of the major source and an identification of 
the relevant source category.
    (3) An identification of the types of emission points belonging to 
the relevant source category.
    (4) An identification of any affected sources for which a section 
112(g) MACT determination has been made.
    (b) Part 2 MACT application. (1) In compiling a Part 2 MACT 
application, the owner or operator may cross-reference specific 
information in any prior submission by the owner or operator to the 
permitting authority, but in cross-referencing such information the 
owner or operator may not presume favorable action on any prior 
application or request which is still pending. In compiling a Part 2 
MACT application, the owner or operator may also cross-reference any 
part of a standard proposed by the Administrator pursuant to section 
112(d) or 112(h) of the Act for any category or subcategory which 
includes sources to which the Part 2 application applies.
    (2) The Part 2 application for a MACT determination must contain the 
information in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (b)(2)(v) of this section.
    (i) For a new affected source, the anticipated date of startup of 
operation.
    (ii) Each emission point or group of emission points at the affected 
source which is part of a category or subcategory for which a Part 2 
MACT application is required, and each of the hazardous air pollutants 
emitted at those emission points. When the Administrator has proposed a 
standard pursuant to section 112(d) or 112(h) of the Act for a category 
or subcategory, such information may be limited to those emission points 
and hazardous air pollutants which would be subject to control under the 
proposed standard.
    (iii) Any existing Federal, State, or local limitations or 
requirements governing emissions of hazardous air pollutants from those 
emission points which are part of a category or subcategory for which a 
Part 2 application is required.
    (iv) For each identified emission point or group of affected 
emission points, an identification of control technology in place.
    (v) Any additional emission data or other information specifically 
requested by the permitting authority.

[[Page 106]]

    (3) The Part 2 application for a MACT determination may, but is not 
required to, contain the following information:
    (i) Recommended emission limitations for the affected source and 
support information consistent with Sec.  63.52(f). The owner or 
operator may recommend a specific design, equipment, work practice, or 
operational standard, or combination thereof, as an emission limitation.
    (ii) A description of the control technologies that would be applied 
to meet the emission limitation including technical information on the 
design, operation, size, estimated control efficiency and any other 
information deemed appropriate by the permitting authority, and 
identification of the affected sources to which the control technologies 
must be applied.
    (iii) Relevant parameters to be monitored and frequency of 
monitoring to demonstrate continuous compliance with the MACT emission 
limitation over the applicable reporting period.

[67 FR 16609, Apr. 5, 2002, as amended at 68 FR 32602, May 30, 2003]



Sec.  63.54  Preconstruction review procedures for new affected sources.

    The requirements of this section apply to an owner or operator who 
constructs a new affected source subject to Sec.  63.52(c)(1). The 
purpose of this section is to describe alternative review processes that 
the permitting authority may use to make a MACT determination for the 
new affected source.
    (a) Review process for new affected sources. (1) If the permitting 
authority requires an owner or operator to obtain or revise a title V 
permit before construction of the new affected source, or when the owner 
or operator chooses to obtain or revise a title V permit before 
construction, the owner or operator must follow the procedures 
established under the applicable title V permit program before 
construction of the new affected source.
    (2) If an owner or operator is not required to obtain or revise a 
title V permit before construction of the new affected source (and has 
not elected to do so), but the new affected source is covered by any 
preconstruction or preoperation review requirements established pursuant 
to section 112(g) of the Act, then the owner or operator must comply 
with those requirements in order to ensure that the requirements of 
section 112(j) and (g) are satisfied. If the new affected source is not 
covered by section 112(g), the permitting authority, in its discretion, 
may issue a Notice of MACT Approval, or the equivalent, in accordance 
with the procedures set forth in paragraphs (b) through (f) of this 
section, or an equivalent permit review process, before construction or 
operation of the new affected source.
    (3) Regardless of the review process, the MACT determination shall 
be consistent with the principles established in Sec.  63.55. The 
application for a Notice of MACT Approval or a title V permit, permit 
modification, or administrative amendment, whichever is applicable, 
shall include the documentation required by Sec.  63.53.
    (b) Optional administrative procedures for preconstruction or 
preoperation review for new affected sources. The permitting authority 
may provide for an enhanced review of section 112(j) MACT determinations 
for review procedures and compliance requirements equivalent to those 
set forth in paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section.
    (1) The permitting authority will notify the owner or operator in 
writing as to whether the application for a MACT determination is 
complete or whether additional information is required.
    (2) The permitting authority will approve an applicant's proposed 
control technology, or the permitting authority will notify the owner or 
operator in writing of its intention to disapprove a control technology.
    (3) The owner or operator may present in writing, within a time 
frame specified by the permitting authority, additional information, 
considerations, or amendments to the application before the permitting 
authority's issuance of a final disapproval.
    (4) The permitting authority will issue a preliminary approval or 
issue a disapproval of the application, taking into account additional 
information received from the owner or operator.
    (5) A determination to disapprove any application will be in writing 
and will specify the grounds on which the disapproval is based.

[[Page 107]]

    (6) Approval of an applicant's proposed control technology must be 
set forth in a Notice of MACT Approval (or the equivalent) as described 
in Sec.  63.52(f).
    (c) Opportunity for public comment on Notice of MACT Approval. The 
permitting authority will provide opportunity for public comment on the 
preliminary Notice of MACT Approval prior to issuance, including, at a 
minimum,
    (1) Availability for public inspection in at least one location in 
the area affected of the information submitted by the owner or operator 
and of the permitting authority's tentative determination;
    (2) A period for submittal of public comment of at least 30 days; 
and
    (3) A notice by prominent advertisement in the area affected of the 
location of the source information and analysis specified in Sec.  
63.52(f). The form and content of the notice must be substantially 
equivalent to that found in Sec.  70.7 of this chapter.
    (4) An opportunity for a public hearing, if one is requested. The 
permitting authority will give at least 30 days notice in advance of any 
hearing.
    (d) Review by the EPA and affected States. The permitting authority 
must send copies of the preliminary notice (in time for comment) and 
final notice required by paragraph (c) of this section to the 
Administrator through the appropriate Regional Office, and to all other 
State and local air pollution control agencies having jurisdiction in 
affected States. The permitting authority must provide EPA with a review 
period for the final notice of at least 45 days and shall not issue a 
final Notice of MACT Approval until EPA objections are satisfied.
    (e) Compliance with MACT determinations. An owner or operator of a 
major source that is subject to a MACT determination must comply with 
notification, operation and maintenance, performance testing, 
monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements established under 
Sec.  63.52(h), under title V, and at the discretion of the permitting 
authority, under subpart A of this part. The permitting authority must 
provide the EPA with the opportunity to review compliance requirements 
for consistency with requirements established pursuant to title V during 
the review period under paragraph (d) of this section.
    (f) Equivalency under section 112(l). If a permitting authority 
requires preconstruction review for new source MACT determinations under 
this subpart, such requirement shall not necessitate a determination 
under subpart E of this part.

[59 FR 26449, May 20, 1994, as amended at 67 FR 16610, Apr. 5, 2002]



Sec.  63.55  Maximum achievable control technology (MACT) determinations
for affected sources subject to case-by-case determination of equivalent
emission limitations.

    (a) Requirements for permitting authorities. The permitting 
authority must determine whether the Sec.  63.53(a) Part 1 and Sec.  
63.53(b) Part 2 MACT application is complete or an application for a 
Notice of MACT Approval is approvable. In either case, when the 
application is complete or approvable, the permitting authority must 
establish hazardous air pollutant emissions limitations equivalent to 
the limitations that would apply if an emission standard had been issued 
in a timely manner under section 112(d) or (h) of the Act. The 
permitting authority must establish these emissions limitations 
consistent with the following requirements and principles:
    (1) Emission limitations must be established for the equipment and 
activities within the affected sources within a source category or 
subcategory for which the section 112(j) deadline has passed.
    (2) Each emission limitation for an existing affected source must 
reflect the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants (including a prohibition on such emissions, where achievable) 
that the permitting authority, taking into consideration the cost of 
achieving such emission reduction and any non-air quality health and 
environmental impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable 
by affected sources in the category or subcategory for which the section 
112(j) deadline has passed. This limitation must not be less stringent 
than the MACT floor

[[Page 108]]

which must be established by the permitting authority according to the 
requirements of section 112(d)(3)(A) and (B) and must be based upon 
available information.
    (3) Each emission limitation for a new affected source must reflect 
the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of hazardous air pollutants 
(including a prohibition on such emissions, where achievable) that the 
permitting authority, taking into consideration the cost of achieving 
such emission reduction and any non-air quality health and environmental 
impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable. This 
limitation must not be less stringent than the emission limitation 
achieved in practice by the best controlled similar source which must be 
established by the permitting authority according to the requirements of 
section 112(d)(3). This limitation must be based upon available 
information.
    (4) The permitting authority must select a specific design, 
equipment, work practice, or operational standard, or combination 
thereof, when it is not feasible to prescribe or enforce an equivalent 
emission limitation due to the nature of the process or pollutant. It is 
not feasible to prescribe or enforce a limitation when the Administrator 
determines that hazardous air pollutants cannot be emitted through a 
conveyance designed and constructed to capture such pollutant, or that 
any requirement for, or use of, such a conveyance would be inconsistent 
with any Federal, State, or local law, or the application of measurement 
methodology to a particular class of sources is not practicable due to 
technological and economic limitations.
    (5) Nothing in this subpart shall prevent a State or local 
permitting authority from establishing an emission limitation more 
stringent than required by Federal regulations.
    (b) Reporting to EPA. The owner or operator must submit additional 
copies of its Part 1 and Part 2 MACT application for a title V permit, 
permit revision, or Notice of MACT Approval, whichever is applicable, to 
the EPA at the same time the material is submitted to the permitting 
authority.

[67 FR 16610, Apr. 5, 2002]



Sec.  63.56  Requirements for case-by-case determination of equivalent
emission limitations after promulgation of subsequent MACT standard.

    (a) If the Administrator promulgates a relevant emission standard 
that is applicable to one or more affected sources within a major source 
before the date a permit application under this paragraph (a) is 
approved, the title V permit must contain the promulgated standard 
rather than the emission limitation determined under Sec.  63.52, and 
the owner or operator must comply with the promulgated standard by the 
compliance date in the promulgated standard.
    (b) If the Administrator promulgates a relevant emission standard 
under section 112(d) or (h) of the Act that is applicable to a source 
after the date a permit is issued pursuant to Sec.  63.52 or Sec.  
63.54, the permitting authority must incorporate requirements of that 
standard in the title V permit upon its next renewal. The permitting 
authority must establish a compliance date in the revised permit that 
assures that the owner or operator must comply with the promulgated 
standard within a reasonable time, but not longer than 8 years after 
such standard is promulgated or 8 years after the date by which the 
owner or operator was first required to comply with the emission 
limitation established by the permit, whichever is earlier. However, in 
no event shall the period for compliance for existing sources be shorter 
than that provided for existing sources in the promulgated standard.
    (c) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (a) or (b) of this 
section, the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section 
shall apply.
    (1) If the Administrator promulgates an emission standard under 
section 112(d) or (h) that is applicable to an affected source after the 
date a permit application under this paragraph is approved under Sec.  
63.52 or Sec.  63.54, the permitting authority is not required to change 
the emission limitation in the permit to reflect the promulgated 
standard if the permitting authority determines that the level of 
control required by the emission limitation in the permit is 
substantially as effective

[[Page 109]]

as that required by the promulgated standard pursuant to Sec.  63.1(e).
    (2) If the Administrator promulgates an emission standard under 
section 112(d) or (h) of the Act that is applicable to an affected 
source after the date a permit application is approved under Sec.  63.52 
or Sec.  63.54, and the level of control required by the promulgated 
standard is less stringent than the level of control required by any 
emission limitation in the prior MACT determination, the permitting 
authority is not required to incorporate any less stringent emission 
limitation of the promulgated standard in the title V permit and may in 
its discretion consider any more stringent provisions of the MACT 
determination to be applicable legal requirements when issuing or 
revising such a title V permit.

    Subpart D_Regulations Governing Compliance Extensions for Early 
                 Reductions of Hazardous Air Pollutants



Sec.  63.70  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to an owner or operator of an 
existing source who wishes to obtain a compliance extension from a 
standard issued under section 112(d) of the Act. The provisions of this 
subpart also apply to a State or local agency acting pursuant to a 
permit program approved under title V of the Act. The Administrator will 
carry out the provisions of this subpart for any State that does not 
have an approved permit program.



Sec.  63.71  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart not defined in this section are given 
the same meaning as in the Act.
    Act means the Clean Air Act as amended.
    Actual emissions means the actual rate of emissions of a pollutant, 
but does not include excess emissions from a malfunction, or startups 
and shutdowns associated with a malfunction. Actual emissions shall be 
calculated using the source's actual operating rates, and types of 
materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time 
period.
    Artificially or substantially greater emissions means abnormally 
high emissions such as could be caused by equipment malfunctions, 
accidents, unusually high production or operating rates compared to 
historical rates, or other unusual circumstances.
    EPA conditional method means any method of sampling and analyzing 
for air pollutants that has been validated by the Administrator but that 
has not been published as an EPA Reference Method.
    EPA reference method means any method of sampling and analyzing for 
an air pollutant as described in appendix A of part 60 of this chapter, 
appendix B of part 61 of this chapter, or appendix A of part 63.
    Equipment leaks means leaks from pumps, compressors, pressure relief 
devices, sampling connection systems, open-ended valves or lines, 
valves, connectors, agitators, accumulator vessels, and instrumentation 
systems in hazardous air pollutant service.
    Existing source means any source as defined in Sec.  63.72, the 
construction or reconstruction of which commenced prior to proposal of 
an applicable section 112(d) standard.
    Hazardous air pollutant (HAP) means any air pollutant listed 
pursuant to section 112(b) of the Act.
    High-risk pollutant means a hazardous air pollutant listed in Table 
1 of Sec.  63.74.
    Malfunction means any sudden failure of air pollution control 
equipment or

[[Page 111]]

process equipment or of a process to operate in a normal or usual 
manner. Failures that are caused entirely or in part by poor 
maintenance, careless operation, or any other preventable upset 
condition or preventable equipment breakdown shall not be considered 
malfunctions.
    Not feasible to prescribe or enforce a numerical emission limitation 
means a situation in which the Administrator or a State determines that 
a pollutant (or stream of pollutants) listed pursuant to section 112(b) 
of the Act cannot be emitted through a conveyance designed and 
constructed to emit or capture such pollutant, or that any requirement 
for, or use of, such a conveyance would be inconsistent with any Federal 
law; or the application of measurement technology to a particular source 
is not practicable due to technological or economic limitations.
    Permitting authority means either a State agency with an approved 
permitting program under Title V of the Act or the Administrator in 
cases where the State does not have an approved permitting program.
    Post-reduction year means the one year period beginning with the 
date early reductions have to be achieved to qualify for a compliance 
extension under subpart D of this part, unless a source has established 
with the permitting authority an earlier one year period as the post-
reduction year. For most sources, the post-reduction year would begin 
with the date of proposal of the first section 112(d) standard 
applicable to the early reductions source; however, for sources that 
have made enforceable commitments, it would be the year from January 1, 
1994, through December 31, 1994.
    Responsible official means one of the following:
    (1) For a corporation, a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-
president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, 
or any other person who performs similar policy- or decision-making 
functions for the corporation; or a duly authorized representative of 
such person if the representative is responsible for the overall 
operation of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating 
facilities applying for or subject to a permit and either:
    (i) The facilities employ more than 250 persons or have gross annual 
sales or expenditures exceeding $25 million (in second quarter 1980 
dollars); or
    (ii) The delegation of authority to such representative is approved 
in advance by the permitting authority.
    (2) For a partnership or sole proprietorship, a general partner or 
the proprietor, respectively.
    (3) For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public agency, 
either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For 
the purposes of this part, a principal executive officer of a Federal 
agency includes the chief executive officer having responsibility for 
the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency 
(e.g., Regional Administrators of EPA).
    Reviewing agency means a State agency with an approved permitting 
program under Title V of the Act. An EPA Regional Office is the 
reviewing agency where the State does not have such an approved 
permitting program.
    State means a State or local air pollution control agency.

Sec.  63.72  General provisions for compliance extensions.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (f) of this section, a 
permitting authority acting pursuant to a permitting program approved 
under Title V of the Act shall by permit allow an existing source to 
meet an alternative emission limitation in lieu of an emission 
limitation promulgated under section 112(d) of the Act for a period of 6 
years from the compliance date of the otherwise applicable standard 
provided the source owner or operator demonstrates:
    (1) According to the requirements of Sec.  63.74 that the source has 
achieved a reduction of 90 percent (95 percent or more in the case of 
hazardous air pollutants which are particulates) in emissions of:
    (i) Total hazardous air pollutants from the source;
    (ii) Total hazardous air pollutants from the source as adjusted for 
high-

[[Page 112]]

risk pollutant weighting factors, if applicable.
    (2) That such reduction was achieved before proposal of an 
applicable standard or, for sources eligible to qualify for an 
alternative emission limitation as specified in paragraph (c) of this 
section, before January 1, 1994.
    (b) A source granted an alternative emission limitation shall comply 
with an applicable standard issued under section 112(d) of the Act 
immediately upon expiration of the six year compliance extension period 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) An existing source that achieves the reduction specified in 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section after proposal of an applicable section 
112(d) standard but before January 1, 1994, may qualify for an 
alternative emission limitation under paragraph (a) of this section if 
the source makes an enforceable commitment, prior to proposal of the 
applicable standard, to achieve such reduction. The enforceable 
commitment shall be made according to the procedures and requirements of 
Sec.  63.75.
    (d) For each permit issued to a source under paragraph (a) of this 
section, there shall be established as part of the permit an enforceable 
alternative emission limitation for hazardous air pollutants reflecting 
the reduction which qualified the source for the alternative emission 
limitation.
    (e) An alternative emission limitation shall not be available with 
respect to standards or requirements promulgated to provide an ample 
margin of safety to protect public health pursuant to section 112(f) of 
the Act, and the Administrator will, for the purpose of determining 
whether a standard under section 112(f) of the Act is necessary, review 
emissions from sources granted an alternative emission limitation under 
this subpart at the same time that other sources in the category or 
subcategory are reviewed.
    (f) Nothing in this subpart shall preclude a State from requiring 
hazardous air pollutant reductions in excess of 90 percent (95 percent 
in the case of particulate hazardous air pollutants) as a condition of 
such State granting an alternative emission limitation authorized in 
paragraph (a) of this section.



Sec.  63.73  Source.

    (a) An alternative emission limitation may be granted under this 
subpart to an existing source. For the purposes of this subpart only, a 
source is defined as follows:
    (1) A building structure, facility, or installation identified as a 
source by the EPA in appendix B of this part;
    (2) All portions of an entire contiguous plant site under common 
ownership or control that emit hazardous air pollutants;
    (3) Any portion of an entire contiguous plant site under common 
ownership or control that emits hazardous air pollutants and can be 
identified as a facility, building, structure, or installation for the 
purposes of establishing standards under section 112(d) of the Act; or
    (4) Any individual emission point or combination of emission points 
within a contiguous plant site under common control, provided that 
emission reduction from such point or aggregation of points constitutes 
a significant reduction of hazardous air pollutant emissions of the 
entire contiguous plant site.
    (b) For purposes of paragraph (a)(4) of this section, emissions 
reductions are considered significant if they are made from base year 
emissions of not less than:
    (1) A total of 10 tons per year of hazardous air pollutants where 
the total emissions of hazardous air pollutants in the base year from 
the entire contiguous plant site is greater than 25 tons per; or
    (2) A total of 5 tons per year of hazardous air pollutants where the 
total emissions of hazardous air pollutants in the base year from the 
entire contiguous plant site is less than or equal to 25 tons per year.



Sec.  63.74  Demonstration of early reduction.

    (a) An owner or operator applying for an alternative emission 
limitation shall demonstrate achieving early reductions as required by 
Sec.  63.72(a)(1) by following the procedures in this section.
    (b) An owner or operator shall establish the source for the purposes 
of this

[[Page 113]]

subpart by documenting the following information:
    (1) A description of the source including: a site plan of the entire 
contiguous plant site under common control which contains the source, 
markings on the site plan locating the parts of the site that constitute 
the source, and the activity at the source which causes hazardous air 
pollutant emissions;
    (2) A complete list of all emission points of hazardous air 
pollutants in the source, including identification numbers and short 
descriptive titles; and
    (3) A statement showing that the source conforms to one of the 
allowable definition options from Sec.  63.73. For a source conforming 
to the option in Sec.  63.73(a)(4), the total base year emissions from 
the source, as determined pursuant to this section, shall be 
demonstrated to be at least:
    (i) 5 tons per year, for cases in which total hazardous air 
pollutant emissions from the entire contiguous plant site under common 
control are 25 tons per year or less as calculated under paragraph (1) 
of this section; or
    (ii) 10 tons per year in all other cases.
    (c) An owner or operator shall establish base year emissions for the 
source by providing the following information:
    (1) The base year chosen, where the base year shall be 1987 or later 
except that the base year may be 1985 or 1986 if the owner or operator 
of the source can demonstrate that emission data for the source for 1985 
or 1986 was submitted to the Administrator pursuant to an information 
request issued under section 114 of the Act and was received by the 
Administrator prior to November 15, 1990;
    (2) The best available data accounting for actual emissions, during 
the base year, of all hazardous air pollutants from each emission point 
listed in the source in paragraph (b)(2) of this section;
    (3) The supporting basis for each emission number provided in 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section including:
    (i) For test results submitted as the supporting basis, a 
description of the test protocol followed, any problems encountered 
during the testing, and a discussion of the validity of the method for 
measuring the subject emissions; and
    (ii) For calculations based on emission factors, material balance, 
or engineering principles and submitted as the supporting basis, a step-
by-step description of the calculations, including assumptions used and 
their bases, and a brief rationale for the validity of the calculation 
method used; and
    (4) Evidence that the emissions provided under paragraph (c)(2) of 
this section are not artificially or substantially greater than 
emissions in other years prior to implementation of emission reduction 
measures.
    (d) An owner or operator shall establish post-reduction emissions by 
providing the following information:
    (1) For the emission points listed in the source in paragraph (b)(2) 
of this section, a description of all control measures employed to 
achieve the emission reduction required by Sec.  63.72(a)(1);
    (2) The best available data accounting for actual emissions, during 
the year following the applicable emission reduction deadline as 
specified in Sec.  63.72(a)(2), of all hazardous air pollutants from 
each emission point in the source listed pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of 
this section.
    (3) The supporting basis for each emission number provided in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section including:
    (i) For test results submitted as the supporting basis, a 
description of the test protocol followed, any problems encountered 
during the testing, and a discussion of the validity of the method for 
measuring the subject emissions; and
    (ii) For calculations based on emission factors, material balance, 
or engineering principles and submitted as the supporting basis, a step-
by-step description of the calculations, including assumptions used and 
their bases, and a brief rationale for the validity of the calculation 
method used;
    (4) [Reserved]
    (5) Evidence that there was no increase in radionuclide emissions 
from the source.
    (e)(1) An owner or operator shall demonstrate that both total base 
year emissions and total base year emissions adjusted for high-risk 
pollutants,

[[Page 114]]

as applicable, have been reduced by at least 90 percent for gaseous 
hazardous air pollutants emitted and 95 percent for particulate 
hazardous air pollutants emitted by determining the following for 
gaseous and particulate emissions separately:
    (i) Total base year emissions, calculated by summing all base year 
emission data from paragraph (c)(2) of this section;
    (ii) Total post-reduction emissions, calculated by summing all post-
reduction emission data from paragraph (d)(2) of this section;
    (iii) (If applicable) Total base year emissions adjusted for high-
risk pollutants, calculated by multiplying each emission number for a 
pollutant from paragraph (c)(2) of this section by the appropriate 
weighting factor for the pollutant from Table 1 in paragraph (f) of this 
section and then summing all weighted emission data;
    (iv) (If applicable) Total post-reduction emissions adjusted for 
high-risk pollutants, calculated by multiplying each emission number for 
a pollutant from paragraph (d)(2) of this section by the appropriate 
weighting factor for the pollutant from Table 1 and then summing all 
weighted emission data; and
    (v) Percent reductions, calculated by dividing the difference 
between base year and post-reduction emissions by the base year 
emissions. Separate demonstrations are required for total gaseous and 
particulate emissions, and total gaseous and particulate emissions 
adjusted for high-risk pollutants.
    (2) If any points in the source emit both particulate and gaseous 
pollutants, as an alternative to the demonstration required in paragraph 
(e)(1) of this section, an owner or operator may demonstrate:
    (i) A weighted average percent reduction for all points emitting 
both particulate and gaseous pollutants where the weighted average 
percent reduction is determined by
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC21OC91.019

where %W = the required weighted percent reduction
[Sigma] Mg = the total mass rate (e.g., kg/yr) of all gaseous 
          emissions
[Sigma] Mp = the total mass rate of all particulate emissions 
          and,

    (ii) The reductions required in paragraph (e)(1) of this section for 
all other points in the source.
    (f) If lower rates or hours are used to achieve all or part of the 
emission reduction, any hazardous air pollutant emissions that occur 
from a compensating increase in rates or hours from the same activity 
elsewhere within the plant site which contains the source shall be 
counted in the post-reduction emissions from the source. If emission 
reductions are achieved by shutting down process equipment and the 
shutdown equipment is restarted or replaced anywhere within the plant 
site, any hazardous air pollutant emissions from the restarted or 
replacement equipment shall be counted in the post-reduction emissions 
for the source.

    (g) The best available data representing actual emissions for the 
purpose of establishing base year or post-reduction emissions under this 
section shall consist of documented results from source tests using an 
EPA Reference Method, EPA Conditional Method, or the owner's or 
operator's source test method which has been validated pursuant to 
Method 301 of appendix A of this part. However, if one of the following 
conditions exists, an owner or operator may submit, in lieu of results 
from source tests, calculations based on engineering principles, 
emission factors, or material balance data as actual emission data for 
establishing base year or post-reduction emissions:
    (1) No applicable EPA Reference Method, EPA Conditional Method, or 
other source test method exists;
    (2) It is not technologically or economically feasible to perform 
source tests;
    (3) It can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the reviewing 
agency that the calculations will provide emission estimates of accuracy 
comparable to that of any applicable source test method;
    (4) For base year emission estimates only, the base year conditions 
no longer exist at an emission point in the source and emission data 
could not be produced for such an emission point, by performing source 
tests under currently existing conditions and converting the test 
results to reflect base year conditions, that is more accurate than an 
estimate produced by using engineering principles, emission factors, or 
a material balance; or
    (5) The emissions from one or a set of emission points in the source 
are small compared to total source emissions and potential errors in 
establishing emissions from such points will not have a significant 
effect on the accuracy of total emissions established for the source.
    (h) For base year or post-reduction emissions established under this 
section that are not supported by source test data, the source owner or 
operator shall include the reason source testing was not performed.
    (i) [Reserved]
    (j) The EPA average emission factors for equipment leaks cannot be 
used under this subpart to establish base year emissions for equipment 
leak sources, unless the base year emission number calculated using the 
EPA average emission factors for equipment leaks also is used as the 
post-reduction emission number for equipment leaks from the source.
    (k) A source owner or operator shall not establish base year or 
post-reduction emissions that include any emissions from the source 
exceeding allowable emission levels specified in any applicable law, 
regulation, or permit condition.
    (l) For sources subject to paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section, an 
owner or operator shall document total base year emissions from an 
entire contiguous plant site under common control by providing the 
information required pursuant to paragraphs (b)(2), (c)(2), and 
(e)(1)(i) of this section for all hazardous air pollutants from all 
emission points in the contiguous plant site under common control.
    (m) If a new pollutant is added to the list of hazardous air 
pollutants or high-risk pollutants, any source emitting such pollutant 
will not be required to revise an early reduction demonstration pursuant 
to this section if:
    (1) Alternative emission limits have previously been specified by 
permit for the source as provided for in Sec.  63.72(a); or
    (2) The base year emissions submitted in an enforceable commitment 
have previously been approved by the reviewing agency.

    (2) The name and telephone number of the source owner or operator or 
other responsible official who can be contacted concerning the 
commitment;
    (3) An alternative mailing address if correspondence is to be 
directed to a location other than that given in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section;
    (4) All information specified in Sec.  63.74(b), (c) and (e)(1)(i), 
which defines and describes the source and establishes the base year 
hazardous air pollutant emissions from the source;
    (5) The general plan for achieving the required hazardous air 
pollutant emissions reductions at the source including descriptions of 
emission control equipment to be employed, process changes or 
modifications to be made, and any other emission reduction measures to 
be used; and
    (6) A statement of commitment, signed by a responsible official of 
the source, containing the following:
    (i) A statement providing the post-reduction emission levels for 
total hazardous air pollutants and high-risk pollutants, as applicable, 
from the source on an annual basis which reflect a 90 percent (95 
percent for particulate pollutants) reduction from base year emissions;
    (ii) A statement certifying that the base year emission data 
submitted as part of the enforceable commitment constitute the best 
available data for base year emissions from the source, are correct to 
the best of the responsible official's knowledge, and are within 
allowable levels specified in any applicable law, regulation, or permit;
    (iii) A statement that it is understood by the source owner or 
operator that submission of base year emissions constitutes a response 
to an EPA request under the authority of section 114 of the Act and that 
the commitment is subject to enforcement according to Sec.  63.80; and
    (iv) A statement committing the source owner or operator to 
achieving the emission levels, listed in paragraph (a)(6), (i) of this 
section, at the source before January 1, 1994.
    (b) The following language may be used to satisfy the requirements 
of paragraphs (a)(6)(ii) through (a)(6)(iv) of this section:

    I certify to the best of my knowledge that the base year emissions 
given above are correct and constitute the best available data for base 
year emissions from the source, and acknowledge that these estimates are 
being submitted in response to an EPA request under section 114 of the 
Act. I further certify that the base year emissions provided for all 
emission points in the source do not exceed allowable emission levels 
specified in any applicable law, regulation, or permit condition. I 
commit to achieve before January 1, 1994, the stated post-reduction 
emission level(s) at the source, which will provide the 90 (95) percent 
reduction required to qualify for the compliance extension, and 
acknowledge that this commitment is enforceable as specified in title 
40, part 63, subpart D, of the Code of Federal Regulations.

    (c) A commitment for a source shall be submitted prior to proposal 
of an applicable standard issued under section 112(d) of the Act. 
Commitments received after the proposal date shall be void.
    (d) If test results for one or more emission points in a source are 
required to support base year emissions in an enforceable commitment but 
are not available prior to proposal of an applicable standard issued 
under section 112(d) of the Act, the test results may be submitted after 
the enforceable commitment is made but no later than 180 days after 
proposal of an applicable standard. In such cases, the enforceable 
commitment shall contain the best substitute emission data for the 
points

[[Page 117]]

in the source for which test results will be submitted later.
    (e) An owner or operator may rescind such a commitment prior to 
December 1, 1993 without penalty and forfeit the opportunity to obtain a 
six year compliance extension under this subpart.
    (f) An enforceable commitment submitted under this section shall not 
be in effect and enforceable until the base year emissions contained in 
the commitment have been approved according to the procedures in Sec.  
63.76. An owner or operator is under no obligation to continue to seek 
approval of commitments that have not been approved by December 1, 1993.
    (g) The control measure information required under Sec.  63.74(d)(1) 
as part of post-reduction emission documentation and submitted in a 
permit application according to the provisions of Sec.  63.77 shall 
become part of an existing enforceable commitment upon receipt of the 
permit application by the permitting authority. An owner or operator 
shall notify the permitting authority of any change made to the source 
during calendar year 1994 which affects such control measure information 
and shall mail the notice within 5 days (postmark date) of making the 
change. The notice shall be considered an amendment to the source's 
enforceable commitment.

Sec.  63.76  Review of base year emissions.

    (a) Pursuant to the procedures of this section, the appropriate 
reviewing agency shall review and approve or disapprove base year 
emission data submitted in an enforceable commitment under Sec.  63.75 
or in a request letter from an applicant that wishes to participate in 
the early reduction program but who is not required to submit an 
enforceable commitment. For review requests submitted to a State agency 
as the appropriate reviewing agency, a copy of the request also shall be 
submitted to the applicable EPA Regional Office. For review requests 
submitted to the EPA Regional Office as the appropriate reviewing 
agency, a copy of the request also shall be sent to the applicable State 
agency. Copies also shall be submitted to the EPA Stationary Source 
Compliance Division (EN-341W), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, 
DC 20460 and the EPA Emission Standards Division (MD-13), Research 
Triangle Park, NC 27711; to the attention of the Early Reductions 
Officer.
    (b) Within 30 days of receipt of an enforceable commitment or base 
year emission data, the reviewing agency shall advise the applicant 
that:
    (1) The base year emission data are complete as submitted; or
    (2) The base year emission data are not complete and include a list 
of deficiencies that must be corrected before review can proceed.
    (c) EPA will publish a notice in the Federal Register which contains 
a list, accumulated for the previous month, of the sources for which 
complete base year emission data have been submitted and which are 
undergoing review either in the EPA Regional Office or a State agency 
within the EPA region. The notice will contain the name and location of 
each source and a contract in the EPA Regional Office for additional 
information.
    (d) Within 60 days of a determination that a base year emission data 
submission is complete, the reviewing agency shall evaluate the adequacy 
of the submission with respect to the requirements of Sec.  63.74 (b) 
and (c) and either:
    (1) Determine to approve the submission and publish a notice in a 
newspaper of general circulation in the area where the source is located 
or in a State publication designed to give general public notice, 
providing the aggregate base year emission data for the source and the 
rationale for the proposed approval, noting the availability of the 
nonconfidential information contained in the submission for public 
inspection in at least one location in the community in which the source 
is located, providing for a public hearing upon request by an interested 
party, and establishing a 30 day public comment period that can be 
extended to 60 days upon request by an interested party; or
    (2) Determine to disapprove the base year emission data and give 
notice to the applicant of the reasons for the disapproval. An applicant 
may correct

[[Page 118]]

disapproved base year data and submit revised data for review in 
accordance with this subsection, except that the review of a revision 
shall be accomplished within 30 days.
    (e) If no adverse public comments are received by the reviewing 
agency on proposed base year data for a source, the data shall be 
considered approved at the close of the public comment period and a 
notice of the approval shall be sent to the applicant and published by 
the reviewing agency by advertisement in the area affected.
    (f) If adverse comments are received and the reviewing agency agrees 
that corrections are needed, the reviewing agency shall give notice to 
the applicant of the disapproval and reasons for the disapproval. An 
applicant may correct disapproved base year emission data and submit 
revised emission data. If a revision is submitted by the applicant that, 
to the satisfaction of the reviewing agency, takes into account the 
adverse comments, the reviewing agency will publish by advertisement in 
the area affected a notice containing the approved base year emission 
data for the source and send notice of the approval to the applicant.
    (g) If adverse comments are received and the reviewing agency 
determines that the comments do not warrant changes to the base year 
emission data, the reviewing agency will publish by advertisement in the 
area affected a notice containing the approved base year emission data 
for the source and the reasons for not accepting the adverse comments. A 
notice of the approval also shall be sent to the applicant.
    (h) If an applicant submits revised emission data under paragraph 
(d)(2) or (f) of this section for a source subject to an enforceable 
commitment, the applicant also shall submit an amended enforceable 
commitment which takes into account the revised base year emissions.
    (i) If revised base year emission data are not submitted or notice 
of intent to submit revised data is not provided to the permitting 
authority by an applicant within 90 days of receiving adverse comments 
or a notice of disapproved base year emission data for a source that is 
subject to an enforceable commitment, the enforceable commitment shall 
be considered withdrawn and a notice to that effect shall be sent by the 
reviewing agency to the applicant.



Sec.  63.77  Application procedures.

    (a) To apply for an alternative emission limitation under Sec.  
63.72, an owner or operator of the source shall file a permit 
application with the appropriate permitting authority.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, the permit 
application shall contain the information required by Sec.  63.74, as 
applicable, and the additional information required for a complete 
permit application as specified by the applicable permit program 
established pursuant to title V of the Act.
    (c) Permit applications under this section for sources not subject 
to enforceable commitments shall be submitted by the later of the 
following dates:
    (1) 120 days after proposal of an otherwise applicable standard 
issued under section 112(d) of the Act; or
    (2) 120 days after the date an applicable permit program is approved 
or established pursuant to title V of the Act.
    (d) Permit applications for sources subject to enforceable 
commitments pursuant to Sec.  63.75 shall be submitted no later than 
April 30, 1994.
    (e) If the post-reduction year does not end at least one month 
before the permit application deadline under paragraph (c) of this 
section, the source may file the post-reduction emissions information 
required under Sec.  63.74(d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(5) later as a 
supplement to the original permit application. In such cases, this 
supplemental information shall be submitted to the permitting authority 
no later than one month after the end of the post-reduction year.
    (f) If a source test will be the supporting basis for establishing 
post-reduction emissions for one or more emissions units in the early 
reductions source, the test results shall be submitted by the applicable 
deadline for submittal of a permit application as specified in paragraph 
(c) or (d) of this section.

[[Page 119]]

    (g) Review and disposition of permit applications submitted under 
this section will be accomplished according to the provisions of the 
applicable permit program established pursuant to title V of the Act.

[58 FR 62543, Nov. 29, 1993, as amended at 59 FR 59924, Nov. 21, 1994]



Sec.  63.78  Early reduction demonstration evaluation.

    (a) The permitting authority will evaluate an early reduction 
demonstration submitted by the source owner or operator in a permit 
application with respect to the requirements of Sec.  63.74.
    (b) An application for a compliance extension may be denied if, in 
the judgement of the permitting authority, the owner or operator has 
failed to demonstrate that the requirements of Sec.  63.74 have been 
met. Specific reasons for denial include, but are not limited to:
    (1) The information supplied by the owner or operator is incomplete;
    (2) The required 90 percent reduction (95 percent in cases where the 
hazardous air pollutant is particulate matter) has not been 
demonstrated;
    (3) The base year or post-reduction emissions are incorrect, based 
on methods or assumptions that are not valid, or not sufficiently 
reliable or well documented to determine with reasonable certainty that 
required reductions have been achieved; or
    (4) The emission of hazardous air pollutants or the performance of 
emission control measures is unreliable so as to preclude determination 
that the required reductions have been achieved or will continue to be 
achieved during the extension period.



Sec.  63.79  Approval of applications.

    (a) If an early reduction demonstration is approved and other 
requirements for a complete permit application are met, the permitting 
authority shall establish by a permit issued pursuant to title V of the 
Act enforceable alternative emissions limitations for the source 
reflecting the reduction which qualified the source for the extension. 
However, if it is not feasible to prescribe a numerical emissions 
limitation for one or more emission points in the source, the permitting 
authority shall establish such other requirements, reflecting the 
reduction which qualified the source for an extension, in order to 
assure the source achieves the 90 percent or 95 percent reduction, as 
applicable.
    (b) An alternative emissions limitation or other requirement 
prescribed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section shall be effective 
and enforceable immediately upon issuance of the permit for the source 
and shall expire exactly six years after the compliance date of an 
otherwise applicable standard issued pursuant to section 112(d) of the 
Act.



Sec.  63.80  Enforcement.

    (a) All base year or post-reduction emissions information described 
in Sec.  63.74 and required to be submitted as part of a permit 
application under Sec.  63.77 or an enforceable commitment under Sec.  
63.75 shall be considered to have been requested by the Administrator 
under the authority of section 114 of the Act.
    (b) Fraudulent statements contained in any base year or post-
reduction emissions submitted to a State or EPA Regional Office under 
this subpart shall be considered violations of section 114 of the Act 
and of this subpart and, thus, actionable under section 113 of the Act 
and can be considered, in appropriate cases, violations of 18 U.S.C. 
1001, the general false swearing provision of the United States Code.
    (c) If a source subject to an enforceable commitment fails to 
achieve reductions before January 1, 1994, sufficient to qualify the 
source for an extension under this subpart, the source shall be 
considered to be in violation of the commitment and shall be subject to 
enforcement action under section 113 of the Act.
    (d) If an early reduction demonstration in a permit application 
filed under Sec.  63.77 is disapproved for a source not subject to an 
enforceable commitment, the owner or operator shall comply with an 
applicable standard issued under section 112(d) of the Act by the 
compliance date specified in such standard.
    (e) If an early reduction demonstration in a permit application 
filed under Sec.  63.77 is disapproved for a source that

[[Page 120]]

is subject to an enforceable commitment, the owner or operator shall 
comply with an applicable standard issued under section 112(d) of the 
Act by the compliance date specified in such standard and will be 
subject to enforcement action under section 113 of the Act.
    (f) A violation of an alternative emission limitation or other 
requirement established by permit under Sec.  63.79 (a) or (b) for the 
source is enforceable pursuant to the authority of section 113 of the 
Act notwithstanding any demonstration of continuing 90 percent (95 
percent for hazardous air pollutants which are particulates) emission 
reduction over the entire source.



Sec.  63.81  Rules for special situations.

    (a) If more than one standard issued under section 112(d) of the Act 
would be applicable to a source as defined under Sec.  63.73, then the 
date of proposal referred to in Sec. Sec.  63.72(a)(2), 63.72(c), 
63.74(d)(4), 63.75(c), and 63.77(c) is the date the first applicable 
standard is proposed.
    (b) Sources emitting radionuclides are not required to reduce 
radionuclides by 90 (95) percent. Radionuclides may not be increased 
from the source as a result of the early reductions demonstration.



     Subpart E_Approval of State Programs and Delegation of Federal 
                               Authorities



Sec.  63.90  Program overview.

    The regulations in this subpart establish procedures consistent with 
section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act (Act) (42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q). This 
subpart establishes procedures for the approval of State rules, 
programs, or other requirements such as permit terms and conditions to 
be implemented and enforced in place of certain otherwise applicable 
section 112 Federal rules, emission standards, or requirements 
(including section 112 rules promulgated under the authority of the Act 
prior to the 1990 Amendments to the Act). The authority to implement and 
enforce section 112 Federal rules as promulgated without changes may be 
delegated under procedures established in this subpart. In this process, 
States may seek approval of a State mechanism for receiving delegation 
of existing and future unchanged Federal section 112 standards. This 
subpart clarifies which part 63, subpart A General Provisions 
authorities can be delegated to States. This subpart also establishes 
procedures for the review and withdrawal of section 112 implementation 
and enforcement authorities delegated through this subpart. This subpart 
also establishes procedures for the approval of State rules or programs 
to establish limitations on the potential to emit pollutants listed in 
or pursuant to section 112(b) of the Act.
    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this subpart.
    Alternative requirements means the requirements, rules, permits, 
provisions, methods, or other enforceable mechanisms that a State 
submits for approval under this subpart or subpart A and, after 
approval, replaces the otherwise applicable Federal section 112 
requirements, provisions, or methods.
    Applicability criteria means the regulatory criteria used to define 
all affected sources subject to a specific section 112 rule.
    Approval means a determination by the Administrator that a State 
rule, program, or requirement meets the criteria of Sec.  63.91 and the 
additional criteria of either Sec.  63.92, Sec.  63.93, Sec.  63.94, or 
Sec.  63.97 as appropriate. For accidental release prevention programs, 
the criteria of Sec.  63.95 must be met in addition to the criteria of 
Sec.  63.91. This is considered a ``full approval'' for the purposes of 
this subpart. Partial approvals may also be granted as described in this 
subpart. Any approved requirements become applicable requirements under 
Sec.  70.2 of this chapter.
    Compliance and enforcement measures means requirements relating to 
compliance and enforcement, including but not necessarily limited to 
monitoring methods and procedures, recordkeeping, reporting, plans, 
inspection, maintenance, and operation requirements, pollution 
prevention requirements, noticing, field inspections, entry, sampling, 
or accidental release prevention oversight.
    Intermediate change to monitoring means a modification to federally 
required monitoring involving ``proven

[[Page 121]]

technology'' (generally accepted by the scientific community as 
equivalent or better) that is applied on a site-specific basis and that 
may have the potential to decrease the stringency of the associated 
emission limitation or standard. Though site-specific, an intermediate 
change may set a national precedent for a source category and may 
ultimately result in a revision to the federally required monitoring. 
Examples of intermediate changes to monitoring include, but are not 
limited to:
    (1) Use of a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) in lieu of 
a parameter monitoring approach;
    (2) Decreased frequency for non-continuous parameter monitoring or 
physical inspections;
    (3) Changes to quality control requirements for parameter 
monitoring; and
    (4) Use of an electronic data reduction system in lieu of manual 
data reduction.
    Intermediate change to test method means a within-method 
modification to a federally enforceable test method involving ``proven 
technology'' (generally accepted by the scientific community as 
equivalent or better) that is applied on a site-specific basis and that 
may have the potential to decrease the stringency of the associated 
emission limitation or standard. Though site-specific, an intermediate 
change may set a national precedent for a source category and may 
ultimately result in a revision to the federally enforceable test 
method. In order to be approved, an intermediate change must be 
validated according to EPA Method 301 (Part 63, Appendix A) to 
demonstrate that it provides equal or improved accuracy and precision. 
Examples of intermediate changes to a test method include, but are not 
limited to:
    (1) Modifications to a test method's sampling procedure including 
substitution of sampling equipment that has been demonstrated for a 
particular sample matrix, and use of a different impinger absorbing 
solution;
    (2) Changes in sample recovery procedures and analytical techniques, 
such as changes to sample holding times and use of a different 
analytical finish with proven capability for the analyte of interest; 
and
    (3) ``Combining'' a federally required method with another proven 
method for application to processes emitting multiple pollutants.
    Level of control means the degree to which a rule, program, or 
requirement limits emissions or employs design, equipment, work 
practice, or operational standards, accident prevention, or other 
requirements or techniques (including a prohibition of emissions) for:
    (1)(i) Each hazardous air pollutant, if individual pollutants are 
subject to emission limitations, and
    (ii) The aggregate total of hazardous air pollutants, if the 
aggregate grouping is subject to emission limitations, provided that the 
rule, program, or requirement would not lead to an increase in risk to 
human health or the environment; and
    (2) Each substance regulated under part 68 of this chapter.
    (3) Test methods and associated procedures and averaging times are 
integral to the level of control.
    Local agency means a local air pollution control agency or, for the 
purposes of Sec.  63.95, any local agency or entity having 
responsibility for preventing accidental releases which may occur at a 
source regulated under part 68 of this chapter.
    Major change to monitoring means a modification to federally 
required monitoring that uses ``unproven technology or procedures'' (not 
generally accepted by the scientific community) or is an entirely new 
method (sometimes necessary when the required monitoring is unsuitable). 
A major change to monitoring may be site-specific or may apply to one or 
more source categories and will almost always set a national precedent. 
Examples of major changes to monitoring include, but are not limited to:
    (1) Use of a new monitoring approach developed to apply to a control 
technology not contemplated in the applicable regulation;
    (2) Use of a predictive emission monitoring system (PEMS) in place 
of a required continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS);
    (3) Use of alternative calibration procedures that do not involve 
calibration gases or test cells;

[[Page 122]]

    (4) Use of an analytical technology that differs from that specified 
by a performance specification;
    (5) Decreased monitoring frequency for a continuous emission 
monitoring system, continuous opacity monitoring system, predictive 
emission monitoring system, or continuous parameter monitoring system;
    (6) Decreased monitoring frequency for a leak detection and repair 
program; and
    (7) Use of alternative averaging times for reporting purposes.
    Major change to recordkeeping/reporting means:
    (1) A modification to federally required recordkeeping or reporting 
that:
    (i) May decrease the stringency of the required compliance and 
enforcement measures for the relevant standards;
    (ii) May have national significance (e.g., might affect 
implementation of the applicable regulation for other affected sources, 
might set a national precedent); or
    (iii) Is not site-specific.
    (2) Examples of major changes to recordkeeping and reporting 
include, but are not limited to:
    (i) Decreases in the record retention for all records;
    (ii) Waiver of all or most recordkeeping or reporting requirements;
    (iii) Major changes to the contents of reports; or
    (iv) Decreases in the reliability of recordkeeping or reporting 
(e.g., manual recording of monitoring data instead of required automated 
or electronic recording, or paper reports where electronic reporting may 
have been required).
    Major change to test method means a modification to a federally 
enforceable test method that uses ``unproven technology or procedures'' 
(not generally accepted by the scientific community) or is an entirely 
new method (sometimes necessary when the required test method is 
unsuitable). A major change to a test method may be site-specific, or 
may apply to one or more sources or source categories, and will almost 
always set a national precedent. In order to be approved, a major change 
must be validated according to EPA Method 301 (part 63, appendix A). 
Examples of major changes to a test method include, but are not limited 
to:
    (1) Use of an unproven analytical finish;
    (2) Use of a method developed to fill a test method gap;
    (3) Use of a new test method developed to apply to a control 
technology not contemplated in the applicable regulation; and
    (4) Combining two or more sampling/analytical methods (at least one 
unproven) into one for application to processes emitting multiple 
pollutants.
    Minor change to monitoring means:
    (1) A modification to federally required monitoring that:
    (i) Does not decrease the stringency of the compliance and 
enforcement measures for the relevant standard;
    (ii) Has no national significance (e.g., does not affect 
implementation of the applicable regulation for other affected sources, 
does not set a national precedent, and individually does not result in a 
revision to the monitoring requirements); and
    (iii) Is site-specific, made to reflect or accommodate the 
operational characteristics, physical constraints, or safety concerns of 
an affected source.
    (2) Examples of minor changes to monitoring include, but are not 
limited to:
    (i) Modifications to a sampling procedure, such as use of an 
improved sample conditioning system to reduce maintenance requirements;
    (ii) Increased monitoring frequency; and
    (iii) Modification of the environmental shelter to moderate 
temperature fluctuation and thus protect the analytical instrumentation.
    Minor change to recordkeeping/reporting means:
    (1) A modification to federally required recordkeeping or reporting 
that:
    (i) Does not decrease the stringency of the compliance and 
enforcement measures for the relevant standards;
    (ii) Has no national significance (e.g., does not affect 
implementation of the applicable regulation for other affected sources, 
does not set a national precedent, and individually does not result in a 
revision to the recordkeeping or reporting requirement); and
    (iii) Is site-specific.

[[Page 123]]

    (2) Examples of minor changes to recordkeeping or reporting include, 
but are not limited to:
    (i) Changes to recordkeeping necessitated by alternatives to 
monitoring;
    (ii) Increased frequency of recordkeeping or reporting, or increased 
record retention periods;
    (iii) Increased reliability in the form of recording monitoring 
data, e.g., electronic or automatic recording as opposed to manual 
recording of monitoring data;
    (iv) Changes related to compliance extensions granted pursuant to 
Sec.  63.6(i);
    (v) Changes to recordkeeping for good cause shown for a fixed short 
duration, e.g., facility shutdown;
    (vi) Changes to recordkeeping or reporting that is clearly redundant 
with equivalent recordkeeping/reporting requirements; and
    (vii) Decreases in the frequency of reporting for area sources to no 
less than once a year for good cause shown, or for major sources to no 
less than twice a year as required by title V, for good cause shown.
    Minor change to test method means:
    (1) A modification to a federally enforceable test method that:
    (i) Does not decrease the stringency of the emission limitation or 
standard;
    (ii) Has no national significance (e.g., does not affect 
implementation of the applicable regulation for other affected sources, 
does not set a national precedent, and individually does not result in a 
revision to the test method); and
    (iii) Is site-specific, made to reflect or accommodate the 
operational characteristics, physical constraints, or safety concerns of 
an affected source.
    (2) Examples of minor changes to a test method include, but are not 
limited to:
    (i) Field adjustments in a test method's sampling procedure, such as 
a modified sampling traverse or location to avoid interference from an 
obstruction in the stack, increasing the sampling time or volume, use of 
additional impingers for a high moisture situation, accepting 
particulate emission results for a test run that was conducted with a 
lower than specified temperature, substitution of a material in the 
sampling train that has been demonstrated to be more inert for the 
sample matrix; and
    (ii) Changes in recovery and analytical techniques such as a change 
in quality control/quality assurance requirements needed to adjust for 
analysis of a certain sample matrix.
    Partial approval means that the Administrator approves under this 
subpart:
    (1) A State's legal authorities that fully meet the criteria of 
Sec.  63.91(d)(3)(ii)-(v), and substantially meet the criteria of Sec.  
63.91(d)(3)(i) as appropriate; or
    (2) A State rule or program that meets the criteria of Sec.  63.92, 
Sec.  63.93, Sec.  63.94, Sec.  63.95, or Sec.  63.97 with the exception 
of a separable portion of that State rule or program which fails to meet 
those criteria. A separable portion of a State rule or program is 
defined as a section(s) of a rule or a portion(s) of a program which can 
be acted upon independently without affecting the overall integrity of 
the rule or program as a whole.
    Program means, for the purposes of an approval under this subpart, a 
collection of State authorities, resources, and other requirements that 
satisfy the criteria of this subpart and subpart A.
    State agency, for the purposes of this subpart, includes State and 
local air pollution agencies, Indian tribes as defined in Sec.  71.2 of 
this chapter, and territories of the United States to the extent they 
are or will be delegated Federal section 112 rules, emission standards, 
or requirements.
    Stringent or stringency means the degree of rigor, strictness or 
severity a statute, rule, emission standard, or requirement imposes on 
an affected source as measured by the quantity of emissions, or as 
measured by parameters relating to rule applicability and level of 
control, or as otherwise determined by the Administrator.
    Title V operating permit programs means the part 70 permitting 
program and the delegated Indian tribal programs under part 70 of this 
chapter.
    (b) Local agency coordination with State and territorial agencies. 
Local agencies submitting a rule or program for approval under this 
subpart shall

[[Page 124]]

consult with the relevant State or Territorial agency prior to making a 
request for approval to the Administrator. A State or Territorial agency 
may submit requests for approval on behalf of a local agency after 
consulting with that local agency.
    (c) Tribal authority. A tribal authority may submit a rule or 
program under this subpart, provided that the tribal authority has 
received approval, under the provisions of part 49 of this chapter, for 
administering Federal rules under section 112 of the Act.
    (d) Authorities retained by the Administrator. (1) The following 
authorities will be retained by the Administrator and will not be 
delegated:
    (i) The authority to add or delete pollutants from the list of 
hazardous air pollutants established under section 112(b);
    (ii)-(iii) [Reserved]
    (iv) The authority to add source categories to or delete source 
categories from the Federal source category list established under 
section 112(c)(1) or to subcategorize categories on the Federal source 
category list after proposal of a relevant emission standard;
    (v) The authority to revise the source category schedule established 
under section 112(e) by moving a source category to a later date for 
promulgation; and
    (vi) Any other authorities determined to be nondelegable by the 
Administrator.
    (2) Nothing in this subpart shall prohibit the Administrator from 
enforcing any applicable rule, emission standard or requirement 
established under section 112.
    (3) Nothing in this subpart shall affect the authorities and 
obligations of the Administrator or the State under title V of the Act 
or under regulations promulgated pursuant to that title.
    (e) Federally-enforceable requirements. All rules, programs, State 
or local permits, or other requirements approved under this subpart and 
all resulting part 70 operating permit conditions are enforceable by the 
Administrator and by citizens under the Act.
    (f) Standards not subject to modification or substitution. With 
respect to radionuclide emissions from licensees of the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission or licensees of Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
Agreement States which are subject to part 61, subparts I, T, or W of 
this chapter, a State may request that the EPA approve delegation of 
implementation and enforcement of the Federal standard pursuant to Sec.  
63.91, but no changes or modifications in the form or content of the 
standard will be approved pursuant to Sec.  63.92, Sec.  63.93, Sec.  
63.94, or Sec.  63.97.
    (g) Selection of delegation options. (1) With the exception of 
paragraphs (g)(2) and (g)(3) of this section, States may only submit 
requests for approval of alternative requirements for a section 112 
Federal rule, emission standard, or other requirement under a single 
delegation option under this subpart.
    (2) In the case of Sec.  63.94 submittals, if the identified sources 
in any source category comprise a subset of the sources in that 
category, the State must accept delegation under one other section of 
this subpart for the remainder of the sources in that category that are 
required to be permitted by the State under part 70 of this chapter.
    (3) If the Administrator partially approves the State request per 
Sec.  63.91(f), the State may submit a request for the remaining section 
112 rules, emission standards, or requirements in that category under 
another section of this subpart.

[65 FR 55835, Sept. 14, 2000]



Sec.  63.91  Criteria for straight delegation and criteria common to all
approval options.

    (a) Applicable approval criteria. A State must satisfy the criteria 
in paragraph (d) of this section for up-front approval to obtain 
delegation of the Federal section 112 rules, emission standards, or 
requirements. Once a State has demonstrated it meets the criteria in 
paragraph (d) of this section, it only needs to reference that 
demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets the criteria in future 
submittals. In addition, a State must satisfy the applicable approval 
criteria in Sec.  63.92, Sec.  63.93, Sec.  63.94, Sec.  63.95, or Sec.  
63.97, as specified in the following paragraphs.
    (1) Unchanged Federal section 112 rules (``straight delegation''). 
To obtain approval of State programs to implement and enforce Federal 
section 112 rules as

[[Page 125]]

promulgated without changes (except for accidental release programs, 
described in paragraph (a)(4) of this section), only the criteria of 
paragraph (d) of this section must be met. This includes State requests 
for one-time approval of their mechanism for taking delegation of future 
unchanged Federal section 112 rules, emission standards, and 
requirements as well as approval to implement and enforce unchanged 
Federal section 112 rules, emission standards, and requirements on a 
rule-by-rule basis.
    (2) State rules, programs, or requirements that are different from 
the Federal rule. To obtain approval under this subpart of a rule, 
program, or requirement that is different from the Federal section 112 
rule, emission standard, or requirement, the criteria of paragraph (d) 
of this section and the criteria of either Sec.  63.92, Sec.  63.93, 
Sec.  63.94, or Sec.  63.97 must be met.
    (3) Separable portions of State rules, programs, or requirements 
(``partial approval''). To obtain partial approval under this subpart, a 
State request must meet the criteria in paragraphs (d) and (f) of this 
section.
    (4) Programs under part 68 of this chapter, prevention of accidental 
releases. For approval of State rules or programs to implement and 
enforce the Federal accidental release prevention program in part 68 of 
this chapter, as promulgated without changes, the provisions of 
paragraph (d) of this section, and Sec.  63.95 must be met. For approval 
of alternative requirements, the provisions of either Sec.  63.92 or 
Sec.  63.93 must also be met.
    (5) Limits on the potential to emit section 112 pollutants. The 
Administrator may, under the authority of section 112(l) and this 
subpart, also approve a State program designed to establish limits on 
the potential to emit hazardous air pollutants listed pursuant to 
section 112 of the Act.
    (b) Approval process. When a State submits an initial request for 
approval, and except as otherwise specified under Sec.  63.92, Sec.  
63.93, Sec.  63.94, Sec.  63.95, or Sec.  63.97, for a State's 
subsequent requests for approval, the approval process will be as shown 
in the following table:

                               State rule,
                               program, or
                               requirement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (c) Enforcement. (1) Approval of the alternative rule, program, or 
requirement delegates to the State the authority to implement and 
enforce the approved rule, program, or requirement

[[Page 126]]

in lieu of the otherwise applicable Federal section 112 rule, emission 
standard, or requirement.
    (i) The approved State rule, program, or requirement shall be 
federally enforceable from the date the Administrator signs the 
approval, with two exceptions. For States that implement unchanged 
Federal requirements (Sec.  63.91, straight delegation) via their title 
V permit program, and for States using the equivalency by permit option 
(63.94), the approved requirements shall be federally enforceable on the 
date of issuance or revision of the title V permit.
    (ii) In the case of a partial approval under paragraph (f)(1) of 
this section, only those authorities of the State request found to meet 
the requirements of this section will be approved; the remaining Federal 
authorities will be implemented and enforced by EPA.
    (iii) For partial approvals under paragraph (f)(3) of this section, 
only the portion of the State rule that is approved will be federally 
enforceable; the remainder continues to be State enforceable only.
    (2) When a State rule, program, or requirement is approved by the 
Administrator under this subpart, applicable title V permits shall be 
revised according to the provisions of Sec.  70.7(f) of this chapter.
    (i) Each permit shall specify the origin of the alternative 
conditions per Sec.  70.6 (a)(i) of this chapter and specifically 
reference the Federal Register notice or other EPA approval mechanism in 
the permit.
    (ii) When approved alternative requirements are incorporated in a 
permit, those requirements must be clearly identified and carried 
forward in any subsequent permit revisions or renewals. If the permit is 
not renewed, or if a revision or renewal does not carry the alternate 
requirements forward, then the Federal section 112 requirements become 
the applicable requirements.
    (3) If approval is withdrawn under Sec.  63.96, all otherwise 
applicable Federal rules and requirements shall be enforceable in 
accordance with the compliance schedule established in the withdrawal 
notice and relevant title V permits shall be revised according to the 
provisions of Sec.  70.7(f) of this chapter.
    (d) Criteria for approval. (1) Any request for approval under this 
subpart shall meet all section 112(l) approval criteria specified by the 
otherwise applicable Federal section 112 rule, emission standard, or 
requirement, all of the approval criteria of this section, and any 
additional approval criteria in Sec.  63.92, Sec.  63.93, Sec.  63.94, 
Sec.  63.95, or Sec.  63.97.
    (2) Once a State has satisfied the Sec.  63.91(d) up-front approval 
requirements, it only needs to reference the previous demonstration and 
reaffirm that is still meets the criteria for any subsequent equivalency 
submittals.
    (3) Interim or final title V program approval will satisfy the 
criteria set forth in Sec.  63.91(d), up-front approval criteria. 
Alternatively, the State must provide the following items in paragraphs 
(d)(3)(i) through (v) of this section to the Administrator:
    (i) A written finding by the State Attorney General (or for a local 
agency or tribal authority, the General Counsel with full authority to 
represent the local agency or tribal authority) that the State has the 
necessary legal authority to implement and to enforce the State rule, 
program, or requirement upon approval and to assure compliance by all 
sources within the State with each applicable section 112 rule, emission 
standard, or requirement. For full approval, the State must have the 
following legal authorities concerning enforcement and compliance 
assurance:
    (A) The State shall have enforcement authorities that meet the 
requirements of Sec.  70.11 of this chapter, except that tribal 
authorities shall have enforcement authorities that meet the 
requirements of part 49 of this chapter, the Tribal Air Rule.
    (B) The State shall have authority to request information from 
regulated sources regarding their compliance status.
    (C) The State shall have authority to inspect sources and any 
records required to determine a source's compliance status.
    (D) If a State delegates authorities to a local agency, the State 
must retain enforcement authority unless the local

[[Page 127]]

agency has authorities that meet the requirements of Sec.  70.11 of this 
chapter.
    (ii) A copy of State statutes, regulations, and requirements that 
contain the appropriate provisions granting authority to implement and 
enforce the State rule, program, or requirement upon approval.
    (iii) A demonstration that the State has adequate resources to 
implement and enforce all aspects of the rule, program, or requirement 
upon approval (except for authorities explicitly retained by the 
Administrator, such as those pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section 
or pursuant to part 49 of this chapter), which includes:
    (A) A description in narrative form of the scope, structure, 
coverage, and processes of the State program.
    (B) A description of the organization and structure of the agency or 
agencies that will have responsibility for administering the program.
    (C) A description of the agency's capacity to carry out the State 
program, including the number, occupation, and general duties of the 
employees.
    (iv) A schedule demonstrating expeditious State implementation of 
the rule, program, or requirement upon approval.
    (v) A plan that assures expeditious compliance by all sources 
subject to the State rule, program, or requirement upon approval. The 
plan should include, at a minimum, a complete description of the State's 
compliance tracking and enforcement program, including but not limited 
to inspection strategies.
    (4) If any of the State documents that are required to support an 
approval under this subpart are readily available to the EPA and to the 
public, the State may cite the relevant portions of the documents or 
indicate where they are available (e.g., by providing an Internet 
address) rather than provide copies.
    (5) Electronic documents. Submission of electronic documents shall 
comply with the requirements of 40 CFR part 3--(Electronic reporting).
    (e) Revisions. Within 90 days of any State amendment, repeal, or 
revision of any State rule, program, permit, or other requirement 
approved as an alternative to a Federal requirement or part of the 
authority necessary for the up-front approval, the State must provide 
the Administrator with a copy of the revised authorities and meet the 
requirements of either paragraph (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this section.
    (1)(i) The State shall provide the Administrator with a written 
finding by the State Attorney General (or for a local agency or tribal 
authority, the General Counsel with full authority to represent the 
local agency or tribal authority) that the State's revised legal 
authorities are adequate to continue to implement and to enforce all 
previously approved State rules and the approved State program (as 
applicable) and adequate to continue to assure compliance by all sources 
within the State with approved rules, the approved program, the approved 
permit, or other requirements (as applicable) and each applicable 
section 112 rule, emission standard, or requirement.
    (ii) If the Administrator determines that the written finding is not 
adequate, the State shall request approval of the revised rule, program, 
permit, or other requirement according to the provisions of paragraph 
(e)(2) of this section.
    (2) The State shall request approval under this subpart for any 
revised rule, program, permit, or other requirement.
    (i) If the Administrator approves the revised rule, program, permit, 
or other requirement, the revision will replace the previously approved 
rule, program, permit, or other requirement.
    (ii) If the Administrator disapproves the revised rule, program, 
permit, or other requirement, the Administrator will initiate procedures 
under Sec.  63.96 to withdraw approval of any previously approved rule, 
program, permit, or other requirement that may be affected by the 
revised authorities.
    (iii) Until such time as the Administrator approves or withdraws 
approval of a revised rule, program, permit, or other requirement, the 
previously approved rule, program, permit, or requirement remains 
federally enforceable and the revision is not federally enforceable.
    (3) If the EPA amends, or otherwise revises a promulgated section 
112 rule or requirement in a way that increases its stringency, the EPA 
will notify any

[[Page 128]]

State which has received delegation under this subpart of the need to 
revise their equivalency demonstration.
    (i) The EPA Regional Office will consult with the affected State(s) 
to set a time frame for the State(s) to submit a revised equivalency 
demonstration.
    (ii) The revised equivalency demonstration will be reviewed and 
approved or disapproved according to the procedures set forth in this 
section and Sec.  63.91, Sec.  63.92, Sec.  63.93, Sec.  63.94, Sec.  
63.95, or Sec.  63.97, whichever are applicable.
    (f) Partial approval. The partial approval process under this 
subpart is described in the following table:

any that it determines are inappropriate, after discussion with the 
State. If changes are disapproved, the State must notify the source that 
it must revert to the original applicable monitoring, testing, 
recordkeeping, and/or reporting requirements (either those requirements 
of the original section 112 requirement, the alternative requirements 
approved under this subpart, or the previously approved site-specific 
alternative requirements). Also, in cases where the source does not

Sec.  63.92  Approval of State requirements that adjust a section 112 rule.

    Under this section a State may seek approval of State requirements 
that make pre-approved adjustments to a Federal section 112 rule, 
emission standard, or requirement that are unambiguously no less 
stringent than the Federal rule, emission standard, or requirement.
    (a) Approval process. (1) If the Administrator finds that the 
criteria of this section and the criteria of Sec.  63.91 are met, the 
Administrator will approve the State requirements, publish them in the 
Federal Register, and incorporate them, directly or by reference, in the 
appropriate subpart of part 63, without additional notice and 
opportunity for comment. Requirements approved under Sec.  63.95 will be 
incorporated pursuant to requirements under part 68 of this chapter.
    (2) If the Administrator finds that any one of the State adjustments 
to the Federal rule is in any way ambiguous with respect to the 
stringency of applicability, level of control, compliance and 
enforcement measures, or the compliance date for any affected source or 
emission point, the Administrator will either disapprove the State 
request or consider the request under Sec.  63.93.
    (3) Within 60 days of receiving a complete request for approval 
under this section, the Administrator will either approve or disapprove 
the State request. If approved, the change will be effective upon 
signature of the Federal Register notice.
    (4) Requirements submitted for approval under this section shall 
include either title V permits, title V general permits, Federal new 
source review permits, or State rules. Permits must already be issued to 
be used under this section.
    (5) If the State uses a permit as the basis of alternative 
requirements under this section, the relevant permit terms and 
conditions must remain applicable to the source, even if the source 
takes steps that would otherwise release it from an obligation to have a 
permit.
    (b) Criteria for approval. Any request for approval under this 
section shall meet all of the criteria of this section and Sec.  63.91 
before approval. The State shall provide the Administrator with:
    (1) A demonstration that the public within the State has had 
adequate notice and opportunity to submit written

[[Page 130]]

comment on the State requirements, and
    (2) A demonstration that each State adjustment to the Federal rule 
individually results in requirements that:
    (i) Are unequivocally no less stringent than the otherwise 
applicable Federal rule with respect to applicability;
    (ii) Are unequivocally no less stringent than the otherwise 
applicable Federal rule with respect to level of control for each 
affected source and emission point;
    (iii) Are unequivocally no less stringent than the otherwise 
applicable Federal rule with respect to compliance and enforcement 
measures for each affected source and emission point; and
    (iv) Assure compliance by every affected source no later than would 
be required by the otherwise applicable Federal rule.
    (3) State adjustments to Federal section 112 rules which may be part 
of an approved rule under this section are:
    (i) Lowering a required emission rate or de minimis level;
    (ii) Adding a design, work practice, operational standard, emission 
rate or other such requirement;
    (iii) Increasing a required control efficiency;
    (iv) Increasing the frequency of required reporting, testing, 
sampling or monitoring;
    (v) Adding to the amount of information required for records or 
reports;
    (vi) Decreasing the amount of time to come into compliance;
    (vii) Subjecting additional emission points or sources within a 
source category to control requirements;
    (viii) Any adjustments allowed in a specific section 112 rule;
    (ix) Minor editorial, formatting, and other nonsubstantive changes; 
or
    (x) Identical alternative requirements previously approved by the 
Administrator in another local agency within the same State, if 
previously noticed that the alternative requirements would be applicable 
in the jurisdiction seeking approval under this section.

[65 FR 55840, Sept. 14, 2000]



Sec.  63.93  Approval of State requirements that substitute for a 
section 112 rule.

    Under this section a State may seek approval of State requirements 
which differ from a Federal section 112 rule for which they would 
substitute, such that the State requirements do not qualify for approval 
under Sec.  63.92.
    (a) Approval process. (1) After receiving a complete request for 
approval under this section and making a preliminary determination on 
its equivalence, the Administrator will seek public comment on the 
State's request for a minimum of 30 days through a Federal Register 
notice. The Administrator will require that comments be submitted 
concurrently to the State.
    (2) If, after review of public comments and any State responses to 
comments submitted to the Administrator, the Administrator finds that 
the criteria of this section and the criteria of Sec.  63.91 are met, 
the Administrator will approve the State requirements under this 
section, publish the approved requirements in the Federal Register, and 
incorporate them directly or by reference, in the appropriate subpart of 
part 63. Requirements approved under Sec.  63.95 will be incorporated 
pursuant to requirements under part 68 of this chapter.
    (3) If the Administrator finds that any of the requirements of this 
section or Sec.  63.91 have not been met, the Administrator may 
partially approve or disapprove the State requirements. For any partial 
approvals or disapprovals, the Administrator will provide the State with 
the basis for the partial approval or disapproval and what actions that 
State can take to make the requirements approvable.
    (4) Requirements submitted for approval under this section shall 
include either: State rules, title V permits, title V general permits, 
Federal new source review permits, board and administrative orders, 
permits issued pursuant to permit templates, or State operating permits. 
Permits must already be issued to be used under this section.
    (5) If the State uses a permit as the basis of alternative 
requirements under this section, the relevant permit terms and 
conditions must remain applicable

[[Page 131]]

to the source even if it takes steps that would otherwise release it 
from an obligation to have a permit.
    (6) Within 180 days of receiving a complete request for approval 
under this section, the Administrator will either approve, partially 
approve, or disapprove the State request.
    (b) Criteria for approval. Any request for approval under this 
section shall meet all of the criteria of this section and Sec.  63.91 
before approval. The State shall provide the Administrator with detailed 
documentation that the State requirements contain or demonstrate:
    (1) Applicability criteria that are no less stringent than those in 
the respective Federal rule;
    (2) Levels of control (including associated performance test 
methods) and compliance and enforcement measures that result in emission 
reductions from each affected source or accidental release prevention 
program requirements for each affected source that are no less stringent 
than would result from the otherwise applicable Federal rule;
    (3) A compliance schedule that requires each affected source to be 
in compliance within a time frame consistent with the deadlines 
established in the otherwise applicable Federal rule; and
    (4) At a minimum, the approved State requirements must include the 
following compliance and enforcement measures. (For requirements 
addressing the accidental release prevention program, minimum compliance 
and enforcement provisions are described in Sec.  63.95.)
    (i) The approved requirements must include monitoring or another 
method for determining compliance.
    (ii) If a standard in the approved rule is not instantaneous, a 
maximum averaging time must be established.
    (iii) The requirements must establish an obligation to periodically 
monitor for compliance using the monitoring or another method 
established in paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section sufficient to yield 
reliable data that are representative of the source's compliance status.

[65 FR 55841, Sept. 14, 2000]



Sec.  63.94  Approval of State permit terms and conditions that substitute
for a section 112 rule.

    Under this section a State may seek approval of State permit terms 
and conditions to be implemented and enforced in lieu of specified 
existing and future Federal section 112 rules, emission standards, or 
requirements promulgated under section 112, for those affected sources 
permitted by the State under part 70 of this chapter. The State may not 
seek approval under this section for permit terms and conditions that 
implement and enforce part 68 requirements.
    (a) Up-front approval process. (1) A State must submit a request 
that meets the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section. After 
receiving a complete request for approval of a State program under this 
section and making a preliminary determination of equivalence, the 
Administrator will seek public comment for 21 days through a Federal 
Register notice. The Administrator will require that comments be 
submitted concurrently to the State.
    (2) If, after review of all public comments, and State responses to 
comments submitted to the Administrator, the Administrator finds that 
the criteria of paragraph (b) of this section and the criteria of Sec.  
63.91 are met, the Administrator will approve the State program. The 
approved program will be published in the Federal Register and 
incorporated directly or by reference in the appropriate subpart of part 
63.
    (3) If the Administrator finds that any of the criteria of paragraph 
(b) of this section or Sec.  63.91 have not been met, the Administrator 
will partially approve or disapprove the State program. For any partial 
approvals or disapprovals, the Administrator will provide the State with 
the basis for the partial approval or disapproval and what action the 
State can take to make the programs approvable.
    (4) Within 90 days of receiving a complete request for approval 
under this section, the Administrator will either approve, partially 
approve, or disapprove the State request.
    (b) Criteria for up-front approval. Any request for program approval 
under

[[Page 132]]

this section shall meet all of the criteria of this paragraph and Sec.  
63.91 before approval. The State shall provide the Administrator with:
    (1)(i) To the extent possible, an identification of all specific 
sources in source categories listed pursuant to subsection 112(c) for 
which the State is seeking authority to implement and enforce 
alternative requirements under this section;
    (ii) If the identified sources in any source category comprise a 
subset of the sources in that category within the State's jurisdiction, 
the State shall request delegation for the remainder of the sources in 
that category that are required to be permitted by the State under part 
70 of this chapter. The State shall request delegation for the remainder 
of the sources in that category under another section of this subpart.
    (iii) Prior to submitting a request for one or more sources within a 
source category, the State shall consult with their EPA Regional Office 
regarding the number of sources in a category eligible for submittal 
under this option. Based on the Regional Office's decision, the State 
shall limit the number of sources for which it submits permit 
requirements.
    (2) To the extent possible, an identification of all existing and 
future section 112 emission standards for which the State is seeking 
authority under this section to implement and enforce alternative 
requirements.
    (3) If, after approval of the initial list of source categories 
identified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the State adds source 
categories for approval under this option, the State shall submit an 
addendum to the up-front approval submission, and identify the addition 
to the lists. The Administrator will follow the process outlined in 
paragraph (a) of this section for up-front approval.
    (4) A one-time demonstration that the State has an approved title V 
operating permit program and that the program permits the affected 
sources.
    (c) Approval process for alternative requirements. (1) After 
promulgation of a Federal section 112 rule, emission standard, or 
requirement for which the State has up-front approval to implement and 
enforce alternative requirements in the form of title V permit terms and 
conditions, the State shall provide the Administrator with pre-draft 
title V permit terms and conditions that are sufficient, in the 
Administrator's judgement, to allow the Administrator to determine 
equivalency. The permit terms and conditions shall reflect all of the 
requirements of the otherwise applicable Federal section 112 rule, 
emission standard, or requirement.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (3) If, the Administrator receives a complete request and finds the 
pre-draft title V permit terms and conditions submitted by the State 
meet the criteria of paragraph (d), the Administrator will approve the 
State's alternative requirements (by approving the pre-draft permit 
terms and conditions) and notify the State in writing of the approval.
    (4) The Administrator may approve the State's alternative 
requirements on the condition that the State makes certain changes to 
the pre-draft title V permit terms and conditions and includes the 
changes in the complete pre-draft, proposed, and final title V permits 
for the affected sources. If the Administrator approves the alternative 
requirements on the condition that the State makes certain changes to 
them, the State shall make those changes or the alternative requirements 
will not be federally enforceable when they are included in the final 
permit, even if the Administrator does not object to the proposed 
permit. Until the Administrator affirmatively approves the State's 
alternative requirements (by approving the pre-draft permit terms and 
conditions) under this paragraph, and those requirements (permit terms) 
are incorporated into the final title V permit for any affected source, 
the otherwise applicable Federal emission standard(s) remain the 
federally enforceable and applicable requirements for that source.
    (5) If, after evaluating the pre-draft title V permit terms and 
conditions that were submitted by the State, the Administrator finds 
that the criteria of paragraph (d) of this section have not been met, 
the Administrator will disapprove the State's alternative requirements 
and notify the State in

[[Page 133]]

writing of the disapproval. In the notice of disapproval, the 
Administrator will specify the deficient or nonapprovable elements of 
the State's alternative requirements.
    (6) Within 90 days of receiving a complete request for approval 
under this paragraph, the Administrator will either approve, partially 
approve, or disapprove the State's alternative requirements.
    (7) Nothing in this section precludes the State from submitting 
alternative requirements in the form of title V permit terms and 
conditions or title V general permit terms and conditions for approval 
under this paragraph at the same time the State submits its program to 
the Administrator for up-front approval under paragraph (a) of this 
section, provided that the Federal emission standards for which the 
State submits alternative requirements are promulgated at the time of 
the State's submittal. If the Administrator finds that the criteria of 
Sec.  63.91 and the criteria of paragraphs (b) and (d) of this section 
are met, the Administrator will approve both the State program and the 
permit terms and conditions within 90 days of receiving a complete 
request for approval.
    (d) Approval criteria for alternative requirements. Any request for 
approval under this paragraph shall meet the following criteria. Taken 
together, the criteria in this paragraph describe the minimum contents 
of a State's equivalency demonstration for a promulgated Federal section 
112 rule, emission standard, or requirement. To be approvable, the State 
submittal must contain sufficient detail to allow the Administrator to 
make a determination of equivalency between the State's alternative 
requirements and the Federal requirements. Each submittal of alternative 
requirements in the form of pre-draft permit terms and conditions for an 
affected source shall:
    (1) Identify the specific, practicably enforceable terms and 
conditions with which the source would be required to comply upon 
issuance, renewal, or revision of the title V permit. The State shall 
submit permit terms and conditions that reflect all of the requirements 
of the otherwise applicable Federal section 112 rule, emission standard, 
or requirement. The State shall identify for the Administrator the 
specific permit terms and conditions that contain alternative 
requirements.
    (2) Identify specifically how the alternative requirements in the 
form of permit terms and conditions are the same as or differ from the 
requirements in the otherwise applicable Federal section 112 rule, 
emission standard, or requirement (including any applicable requirements 
in subpart A or other subparts or appendices). The State shall provide 
this identification in a side-by-side comparison of the State's 
requirements in the form of permit terms and conditions and the 
requirements of the Federal section 112 rule, emission standard, or 
requirement.
    (3) The State shall provide the Administrator with detailed 
documentation that demonstrates that the alternative requirements meet 
the criteria specified in Sec.  63.93(b), i.e., that the alternative 
requirements are at least as stringent as the otherwise applicable 
Federal requirements.
    (e) Incorporation of permit terms and conditions into title V 
permits. (1) After approval of the State's alternative requirements 
under this section, the State shall incorporate the approved permit 
terms and conditions into title V permits for the affected sources. The 
State shall issue or revise the title V permits according to the 
provisions contained in Sec.  70.7 of this chapter. The alternative 
permit terms and conditions may substitute for the Federal requirements 
once they are contained in a valid title V permit. If the State does not 
write the alternative conditions, exactly as approved, into the permit, 
EPA may reopen the permit for cause per Sec.  70.7(g) of this chapter, 
and the delegation may not occur.
    (2) In the notice of pre-draft permit availability, and in each pre-
draft, proposed, and final permit, the State shall indicate prominently 
that the permit contains alternative section 112 requirements. In the 
notice of pre-draft permit availability, the State shall specifically 
solicit public comment on

[[Page 134]]

the alternative requirements. In addition, the State shall attach all 
documents supporting the approved equivalency determination for those 
alternative requirements to each pre-draft, proposed, and final permit.

[65 FR 55841, Sept. 14, 2000]



Sec.  63.95  Additional approval criteria for accidental release 
prevention programs.

    (a) A State submission for approval of a part 68 program must meet 
the criteria and be in accordance with the procedures of this section, 
Sec.  63.91, and, where appropriate, either Sec.  63.92 or Sec.  63.93.
    (b) The State part 68 program application shall contain the 
following elements consistent with the procedures in Sec.  63.91 and, 
where appropriate, either Sec.  63.92 or Sec.  63.93 of this subpart, 
for at least the chemicals listed in part 68 subpart F (``federally-
listed chemicals'') that an approvable State Accidental Release 
Prevention program is regulating:
    (1)(i) A demonstration of the State's authority and resources to 
implement and enforce regulations that are no less stringent than the 
regulations of part 68, subparts A through G and Sec.  68.200 of this 
chapter; and
    (ii) A requirement that any source subject to the State's part 68 
program submit a Risk Management Plan (RMP) that reports at least the 
same information in the same format as required under part 68, subpart G 
of this chapter.
    (2) A State's RMP program may require reporting of information not 
required by the Federal program, and these requirements (like any other 
additional State requirements) will become federally enforceable upon 
approval. The extent to which EPA will be able to help a State collect 
and report additional information through EPA's electronic RMP 
submission system will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
    (3) Procedures for reviewing risk management plans and providing 
technical assistance to stationary sources, including small businesses.
    (4) A demonstration of the State's authority to enforce all part 68 
requirements must be made, including an auditing strategy that complies 
with Sec.  68.220 of this chapter.
    (c) A State may request approval for a program that covers all of 
the federally-listed chemicals (a ``complete program'') or a program 
covering less than all of the federally-listed chemicals (a ``partial 
program'') as long as the State takes delegation of the full part 68 
program for the federally-listed chemicals it regulates.

[65 FR 55843, Sept. 14, 2000]



Sec.  63.96  Review and withdrawal of approval.

    (a) Submission of information for review of approval. (1) The 
Administrator may at any time request any of the following information 
to review the adequacy of implementation and enforcement of an approved 
rule or program and the State shall provide that information within 45 
days of the Administrator's request:
    (i) Copies of any State statutes, rules, regulations or other 
requirements that have amended, repealed or revised the approved State 
rule or program since approval or since the immediately previous EPA 
review;
    (ii) Information to demonstrate adequate State enforcement and 
compliance monitoring activities with respect to all approved State 
rules and with all section 112 rules, emission standards or 
requirements;
    (iii) Information to demonstrate adequate funding, staff, and other 
resources to implement and enforce the State's approved rule or program;
    (iv) A schedule for implementing the State's approved rule or 
program that assures compliance with all section 112 rules and 
requirements that the EPA has promulgated since approval or since the 
immediately previous EPA review,
    (v) A list of part 70 or other permits issued, amended, revised, or 
revoked since approval or since immediately previous EPA review, for 
sources subject to a State rule or program approved under this subpart.
    (vi) A summary of enforcement actions by the State regarding 
violations of section 112 requirements, including but not limited to 
administrative orders and judicial and administrative complaints and 
settlements.

[[Page 135]]

    (2) Upon request by the Administrator, the State shall demonstrate 
that each State rule, emission standard or requirement applied to an 
individual source is no less stringent as applied than the otherwise 
applicable Federal rule, emission standard or requirement.
    (b) Withdrawal of approval of a state rule or program. (1) If the 
Administrator has reason to believe that a State is not adequately 
implementing or enforcing an approved rule or program according to the 
criteria of this section or that an approved rule or program is not as 
stringent as the otherwise applicable Federal rule, emission standard or 
requirements, the Administrator will so inform the State in writing and 
will identify the reasons why the Administrator believes that the 
State's rule or program is not adequate. The State shall then initiate 
action to correct the deficiencies identified by the Administrator and 
shall inform the Administrator of the actions it has initiated and 
completed. If the Administrator determines that the State's actions are 
not adequate to correct the deficiencies, the Administrator will notify 
the State that the Administrator intends to withdraw approval and will 
hold a public hearing and seek public comment on the proposed withdrawal 
of approval. The Administrator will require that comments be submitted 
concurrently to the State. Upon notification of the intent to withdraw, 
the State will notify all sources subject to the relevant approved rule 
or program that withdrawal proceedings have been initiated.
    (2) Based on any public comment received and any response to that 
comment by the State, the Administrator will notify the State of any 
changes in identified deficiencies or actions needed to correct 
identified deficiencies. If the State does not correct the identified 
deficiencies within 90 days after receiving revised notice of 
deficiencies, the Administrator shall withdraw approval of the State's 
rule or program upon a determination that:
    (i) The State no longer has adequate authorities to assure 
compliance or re-sources to implement and enforce the approved rule or 
program, or
    (ii) The State is not adequately implementing or enforcing the 
approved rule or program, or
    (iii) An approved rule or program is not as stringent as the 
otherwise applicable Federal rule, emission standard or requirement.
    (3) The Administrator may withdraw approval for part of a rule, for 
a rule, for part of a program, or for an entire program.
    (4) Any State rule, program or portion of a State rule or program 
for which approval is withdrawn is no longer Federally enforceable. The 
Federal rule, emission standard or requirement that would have been 
applicable in the absence of approval under this will be the federally 
enforceable rule, emission standard or requirement.
    (i) Upon withdrawal of approval, the Administrator will publish an 
expeditious schedule for sources subject to the previously approved 
State rule or program to come into compliance with applicable Federal 
requirements. Such schedule shall include interim emission limits where 
appropriate. During this transition, sources must be operated in a 
manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for 
minimizing emissions.
    (ii) Upon withdrawal, the State shall reopen, under the provisions 
of Sec.  70.7(f) of this chapter, the part 70 permit of each source 
subject to the previously approved rules or programs in order to assure 
compliance through the permit with the applicable requirements for each 
source.
    (iii) If the Administrator withdraws approval of State rules 
applicable to sources that are not subject to part 70 permits, the 
applicable State rules are no longer Federally enforceable.
    (iv) If the Administrator withdraws approval of a portion of a State 
rule or program, other approved portions of the State rule or program 
that are not withdrawn shall remain in effect.
    (v) Any applicable Federal emission standard or requirement shall 
remain enforceable by the EPA as specified in section 112(l)(7) of the 
Act.
    (5) If a rule approved under Sec.  63.93 is withdrawn under the 
provisions of Sec.  63.96(b)(2) (i) or (ii), and, at the time of 
withdrawal, the Administrator finds the rule to be no less stringent 
than

[[Page 136]]

the otherwise applicable Federal requirement, the Administrator will 
grant equivalency to the previously approved State rule under the 
appropriate provisions of this part.
    (6) A State may submit a new rule, program or portion of a rule or 
program for approval after the Administrator has withdrawn approval of 
the State's rule, program or portion of a rule or program. The 
Administrator will determine whether the new rule or program or portion 
of a rule or program is approvable according to the criteria and 
procedures of Sec.  63.91 and either of Sec.  63.92, Sec.  63.93 or 
Sec.  63.94.
    (7) A State may voluntarily withdraw from an approved State rule, 
program or portion of a rule or program by notifying the EPA and all 
affected sources subject to the rule or program and providing notice and 
opportunity for comment to the public within the State.
    (i) Upon voluntary withdrawal by a State, the Administrator will 
publish a timetable for sources subject to the previously approved State 
rule or program to come into compliance with applicable Federal 
requirements.
    (ii) Upon voluntary withdrawal, the State must reopen and revise the 
part 70 permits of all sources affected by the withdrawal as provided 
for in this section and Sec.  70.7(f), and the Federal rule, emission 
standard, or requirement that would have been applicable in the absence 
of approval under this subpart will become the applicable requirement 
for the source.
    (iii) Any applicable Federal section 112 rule, emission standard or 
requirement shall remain enforceable by the EPA as specified in section 
112(l)(7) of the Act.
    (iv) Voluntary withdrawal shall not be effective sooner than 180 
days after the State notifies the EPA of its intent to voluntarily

Sec.  63.97  Approval of a State program that substitutes for 
section 112 requirements.

    Under this section, a State may seek approval of a State program to 
be implemented and enforced in lieu of specified existing or future 
Federal emission standards or requirements promulgated under section 
112. A State may not seek approval under this section for a program that 
implements and enforces part 68 requirements.
    (a) Up-front approval process. (1) After receiving a complete 
request for approval of a State program submitted under paragraph (b)(1) 
or (b)(2) of this section and making a preliminary determination on 
whether to approve it, the Administrator will seek public comment for 21 
days through a Federal Register notice. At its discretion, the State may 
include in this submittal a request for approval of specific alternative 
requirements under paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (3) The Administrator will require that comments be submitted 
concurrently to the State.
    (4) If, after review of all public comments and State responses to 
comments submitted to the Administrator, the Administrator finds that 
the criteria of paragraph (b) of this section and the criteria of Sec.  
63.91 are met, the Administrator will approve or partially approve the 
State program. The approved State program will be published in the 
Federal Register and incorporated, directly or by reference, in the 
appropriate subpart of part 63.
    (5) If the Administrator finds that any of the criteria of paragraph 
(b) of this section or Sec.  63.91 have not been met, the Administrator 
will partially approve or disapprove the State program.
    (6) The Administrator will either approve, partially approve, or 
disapprove the State request:
    (i) Within 90 days after receipt of a complete request for approval 
of a State program submitted under paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this 
section; or
    (ii) Within 180 days after receipt of a complete request for 
approval of a State program submitted under paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2) 
and paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
    (b) Criteria for up-front approval. Any request for program approval 
under this section shall meet all of the criteria of this paragraph and 
Sec.  63.91 before approval.
    (1) For every request for program approval under this section, the 
State shall provide the Administrator, to the extent possible, with an 
identification

[[Page 137]]

of the initial specific source categories listed pursuant to section 
112(c) and an identification of all existing and future section 112 
emission standards or other requirements for which the State is seeking 
authority to implement and enforce alternative requirements under this 
section.
    (2) If, after approval of the initial list of specific source 
categories identified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the State 
adds source categories for approval under this option, the State shall 
submit an addendum to the approval submission, and identify the addition 
to the list.
    (3) In addition, the State may provide the Administrator with one or 
more of the following program elements for approval under this 
paragraph:
    (i) Alternative requirements in State rules, regulations, or general 
permits (or other enforceable mechanisms) that apply generically to one 
or more categories of sources and for which the State seeks approval to 
implement and enforce in lieu of specific existing Federal section 112 
emission standards or requirements. The Administrator may approve or 
disapprove the alternative requirements in these rules, regulations, or 
permits when approving or disapproving the State's up-front submittal 
under this paragraph. After approval of the alternative generic rules, 
regulations or general permits, and after new Federal emission standards 
or requirements are promulgated, the State may extend the applicability 
of approved generic alternative requirements to additional source 
categories by repeating the approval process specified in paragraph (a) 
of this section. To be approvable, any request for approval of generic 
alternative requirements during the up-front approval process shall meet 
the criteria in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (ii) A description of the mechanisms that are enforceable as a 
matter of State law that the State will use to implement and enforce 
alternative requirements for area sources. The mechanisms that may be 
approved under this paragraph include title V permits, title V general 
permits, Federal new source review permits, board and administrative 
orders, permits issued pursuant to permit templates, state permits, and 
State rules that apply to categories of sources. The State shall 
demonstrate to the Administrator that the State has adequate resources 
and authorities to implement and enforce alternative section 112 
requirements using the State mechanisms.
    (c) Approval process for alternative requirements. (1) After 
promulgation of a Federal emission standard or requirement for which the 
State has program approval under this section to implement and enforce 
alternative requirements, the State shall provide the Administrator with 
alternative requirements that are sufficient, in the Administrator's 
judgement, to allow the Administrator to determine equivalency under 
paragraph (d) of this section. The alternative requirements shall 
reflect all of the requirements of the otherwise applicable Federal 
section 112 rule, emission standard, or requirement, including any 
alternative requirements that the State is seeking to implement and 
enforce. Alternative requirements submitted for approval under this 
paragraph shall be contained in rules, regulations, general permits, or 
other mechanisms that apply to and are enforceable under State law for 
categories of sources. State policies are not approvable under this 
section unless they are incorporated into specific, enforceable, 
alternative requirements in rules, permits, or other mechanisms that 
apply to categories of sources.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (3) After receiving a complete request for approval under this 
section and making a preliminary determination on its equivalence, the 
Administrator will seek public comment for a minimum of 21 days through 
a Federal Register notice. The Administrator will require that comments 
be submitted concurrently to the State.
    (4) If, after review of public comments and any State responses to 
comments submitted to the Administrator, the Administrator finds that 
the criteria of paragraph (d) of this section and the criteria of Sec.  
63.91 are met, the Administrator will approve the State's alternative 
requirements. The approved alternative requirements will be published in 
the Federal Register

[[Page 138]]

and incorporated, directly or by reference, in the appropriate subpart 
of part 63.
    (5) If the Administrator finds that any of the requirements of 
paragraph (d) of this section or Sec.  63.91 have not been met, the 
Administrator will partially approve or disapprove the State's 
alternative requirements. For any partial approvals or disapprovals, the 
Administrator will provide the State with the basis for the partial 
approval or disapproval and what action the State can take to make the 
alternative requirements approvable.
    (6) Within 180 days of receiving a complete request for approval 
under this paragraph, the Administrator will either approve, partially 
approve, or disapprove the State request.
    (7) Nothing in this section precludes the State from submitting 
alternative requirements for approval under this paragraph at the same 
time the State submits its program to the Administrator for up-front 
approval under paragraph (a) of this section, provided that the Federal 
rules, emission standards, or requirements for which the State submits 
alternative requirements are promulgated at the time of the State's 
submittal. If the Administrator finds that the criteria of Sec.  63.91 
and the criteria of paragraphs (b) and (d) of this section are met, the 
Administrator will approve both the State program and the alternative 
requirements within 180 days of receiving a complete request for 
approval. Alternatively, following up-front approval, the State may 
submit alternative requirements for approval under this paragraph at any 
time after promulgation of the Federal emission standards or 
requirements.
    (d) Approval criteria for alternative requirements. Any request for 
approval under this paragraph shall meet the following criteria. Taken 
together, the criteria in this paragraph describe the minimum contents 
of a State's equivalency demonstration for a promulgated Federal section 
112 rule, emission standard, or requirement. To be approvable, the State 
submittal must contain sufficient detail to allow the Administrator to 
make a determination of equivalency between the State's alternative 
requirements and the Federal requirements. Each submittal of alternative 
requirements for a category of sources shall:
    (1) Include copies of all State rules, regulations, permits, or 
other enforceable mechanisms that contain the alternative requirements 
for which the State is seeking approval. These documents shall also 
contain requirements that reflect all of the requirements of the 
otherwise applicable Federal section 112 rules, emission standards or 
requirements for which the State is not submitting alternatives. The 
State shall identify for the Administrator the specific requirements 
with which sources in a source category are required to comply, 
including the specific alternative requirements.
    (2) Identify specifically how the alternative requirements are the 
same as or differ from the requirements in the otherwise applicable 
Federal rule, emission standards, or requirements (including any 
applicable requirements in subpart A or other subparts or appendices). 
The State shall provide this identification in a side-by-side comparison 
of the State's requirements and the requirements of the Federal rule, 
emission standards, or requirements.
    (3) The State shall provide the Administrator with detailed 
documentation that demonstrates the State's belief that the alternative 
requirements meet the criteria specified in Sec.  63.93(b) of this 
subpart, i.e., that the alternative requirements are at least as 
stringent as the otherwise applicable Federal requirements.

\1\ State program approved on June 26, 1995. Delegation table last updated on February 23, 2009.

    (ii) South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control 
(SC DHEC) may implement and enforce alternative requirements in the form 
of title V permit terms and conditions for International Paper 
Georgetown Mill, Georgetown, South Carolina, for subpart S of this 
part--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from the 
Pulp and Paper Industry. This action is contingent upon SC DHEC 
including, in title V permits, terms and conditions that are no less 
stringent than the Federal standard. In addition, the requirement 
applicable to the source remains the Federal section 112 requirement 
until EPA has approved the alternative permit terms and conditions and 
the final title V permit is issued.
    (42) [Reserved]
    (43) Tennessee. (i) The Tennessee Department of Environment and 
Conservation (TDEC) has ``up-front'' approval to implement an 
Equivalency by Permit (EBP) program under which TDEC may establish and 
enforce alternative requirements for the Ellison Surface Technologies, 
Inc. facility located in Morgan County, Tennessee (Ellison) in lieu of 
those of the National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
(NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Operations at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
WWWWWW, ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Area 
Source Standards for Plating and Polishing Operations.'' TDEC may only 
establish alternative requirements for Ellison that are at least as 
stringent as the otherwise applicable Federal requirements. TDEC must, 
in order to establish alternative requirements for Ellison under its 
EPA-approved EBP program: submit to the EPA for review pre-draft title V 
permit terms specifying alternative requirements that meet the criteria 
of 40 CFR 63.94(d), including the criterion that the alternative 
requirements are at least as stringent as the otherwise applicable 
Federal requirements; obtain the EPA's written approval of the 
alternative pre-draft title V permit requirements; and issue a title V 
permit for Ellison that contains the approved alternative requirements. 
Until the EPA has approved the alternative permit terms and conditions 
and TDEC has issued a final title V permit incorporating them, Ellison 
will remain subject to the Federal NESHAP requirements found at 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart WWWWWW.
    (ii) Reserved.
    (44) Texas. (i) The following table lists the specific part 63 
standards that have been delegated unchanged to the Texas Commission on 
Environmental Quality for all sources. The ``X'' symbol is used to 
indicate each subpart that has been delegated. The delegations are 
subject to all of the conditions and limitations set forth in Federal 
law and regulations. Some authorities cannot be delegated and are 
retained by the EPA. These include certain General Provisions 
authorities and specific parts of some standards. Any amendments made to 
these rules after August 3, 2016 are not delegated.

  fired EUSGU Units. See 81 FR 24420 (April 25, 2016).

    (ii) Affected sources within Texas shall comply with the Federal 
requirements of 40 CFR part 63--subpart A--General Provisions, adopted 
by reference by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), 
with the exception of Sec.  63.5(e)(2)(i), Sec.  63.6(i)(12)(i), Sec.  
63.6(i)(13)(i) and (ii), Sec.  63.8(e)(5)(ii), Sec.  63.9(i)(3), and 
Sec.  63.10(e)(2)(ii). The TCEQ has adopted alternative provisions for 
the cited exceptions above and affected sources in Texas that are 
subject to the requirements of Subpart A shall comply with the 
requirements established at Texas Administrative Code, Title 30, Part 1, 
Chapter 113, Subchapter C, section 113.100.
    (45) [Reserved]
    (46) Vermont. (i) Affected area sources within Vermont must comply 
with Vermont Regulations applicable to Hazardous Air Pollutants 
(incorporated by reference as specified in Sec.  63.14) as described in 
paragraph (a)(46)(i)(A) of this section:
    (A) The material incorporated into the Vermont Air Pollution 
Regulations at Chapter 5, Air Pollution Control, section 5-253.11, 
Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning (effective as of December 15, 2016) 
pertaining to area source dry cleaning facilities in the State of 
Vermont jurisdiction, and approved under the procedures in Sec.  63.93 
to be implemented and enforced in place of the requirements for area 
source dry cleaning facilities in the Federal NESHAP for 
Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities (subpart M of this part), 
effective as of July 11, 2008. For purposes of this paragraph (a)(46) 
the term ``area source dry cleaning facilities'' means any source that 
qualifies as an area source under Sec.  63.320(h).
    (1) Authorities not delegated. (i) Vermont is not delegated the 
Administrator's authority to implement and

[[Page 187]]

enforce Vermont Air Pollution Control Regulations, Chapter 5, Air 
Pollution Control, section 5-253.11, in lieu of those provisions of 
subpart M of this part which apply to major sources, as defined in Sec.  
63.320(g).
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (2) [Reserved]
    (B) [Reserved]
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (47) Virginia. (i) Virginia is delegated the authority to implement 
and enforce all existing and future unchanged 40 CFR part 63 standards 
at major sources, as defined in 40 CFR part 70, in accordance with the 
delegation agreement between EPA Region III and the Virginia Department 
of Environmental Quality, dated April 20, 1998, and any mutually 
acceptable amendments to that agreement.
    (ii) Virginia is delegated the authority to implement and enforce 
all existing 40 CFR part 63 standards and all future unchanged 40 CFR 
part 63 standards, if delegation is sought by the Virginia Department of 
Environmental Quality and approved by EPA Region III, at affected 
sources which are not located at major sources, as defined in 40 CFR 
part 70, in accordance with the final rule, dated January 8, 2002, 
effective March 11, 2002, and any mutually acceptable amendments to the 
terms described in the direct final rule.
    (iii) EPA has granted the Virginia Department of Environmental 
Quality (DEQ) ``up-front'' approval to implement an Equivalency by 
Permit (EBP) program under which the Virginia DEQ may establish and 
enforce alternative State requirements for International Paper Company's 
Franklin Mill in lieu of those of the National Emissions Standard for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Pulp and Paper Industry found 
at 40 CFR part 63, subpart S. The Virginia DEQ may only establish 
alternative requirements for the Franklin Mill which are equivalent to 
and at least as stringent as the otherwise applicable Federal 
requirements. The VA DEQ must, in order to establish alternative 
requirements for the Franklin Mill under its EPA approved EBP program: 
(1) Submit to EPA for review pre-draft Clean Air Act (CAA) Title V 
permit terms specifying alternative requirements which are at least as 
stringent as the otherwise applicable Federal requirements, (2) obtain 
EPA's written approval of the alternative pre-draft CAA Title V permit 
requirements, and (3) issue a CAA Title V permit for the Franklin Mill 
which contains the approved alternative requirements. Until EPA has 
approved the alternative permit terms and conditions and the Virginia 
DEQ has issued a final CAA Title V permit incorporating them, 
International Paper Company's Franklin Mill will remain subject to the 
Federal NESHAP requirements found at 40 CFR part 63, subpart S.
    (48) Washington. (i) The following table lists the delegation status 
of specific part 63 Subparts that have been delegated to state and local 
air pollution control agencies in Washington. An ``X'' indicates the 
subpart has been delegated, subject to all the conditions and 
limitations set forth in Federal law, regulations, policy, guidance, and 
determinations. Some authorities cannot be delegated and are retained by 
EPA. These include certain General Provisions authorities and specific 
parts of some standards. The dates noted at the end of this table 
indicate the effective dates of Federal rules that have been delegated. 
Any amendments made to these rules after this effective date are not

    Subpart F_National Emission Standards for Organic Hazardous Air 
  Pollutants From the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry

    Source: 59 FR 19454, Apr. 22, 1994, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.  63.100  Applicability and designation of source.

    (a) This subpart provides applicability provisions, definitions, and 
other general provisions that are applicable to subparts G and H of this 
part.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraphs (b)(4) and (c) of this section, 
the provisions of subparts F, G, and H of this part apply to chemical 
manufacturing process units that meet all the criteria specified in 
paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) of this section:
    (1) Manufacture as a primary product one or more of the chemicals 
listed in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) or (b)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) One or more of the chemicals listed in table 1 of this subpart; 
or
    (ii) One or more of the chemicals listed in paragraphs (b)(1)(ii)(A) 
or (b)(1)(ii)(B) of this section:
    (A) Tetrahydrobenzaldehyde (CAS Number 100-50-5); or
    (B) Crotonaldehyde (CAS Number 123-73-9).
    (2) Use as a reactant or manufacture as a product, or co-product, 
one or more of the organic hazardous air pollutants listed in table 2 of 
this subpart;
    (3) Are located at a plant site that is a major source as defined in 
section 112(a) of the Act.
    (4) The owner or operator of a chemical manufacturing processing 
unit is exempt from all requirements of subparts F, G, and H of this 
part until not later than April 22, 1997 if the owner or operator 
certifies, in a notification to the appropriate EPA Regional Office, not 
later than May 14, 1996, that the plant site at which the chemical 
manufacturing processing unit is located emits, and will continue to 
emit, during any 12-month period, less than 10 tons per year of any 
individual hazardous air pollutants (HAP), and less than 25 tons per 
year of any combination of HAP.
    (i) If such a determination is based on limitations and conditions 
that are not federally enforceable (as defined in subpart A of this 
part), the owner or operator shall document the basis for the 
determination as specified in paragraphs (b)(4)(i)(A) through 
(b)(4)(i)(C) and comply with the recordkeeping requirement in 63.103(f).
    (A) The owner or operator shall identify all HAP emission points at 
the plant site, including those emission points subject to and emission 
points not subject to subparts F, G, and H;
    (B) The owner or operator shall calculate the amount of annual HAP 
emissions released from each emission point at the plant site, using 
acceptable measurement or estimating techniques for maximum expected 
operating conditions at the plant site. Examples of estimating 
procedures that are considered acceptable include the calculation 
procedures in Sec.  63.150 of subpart G, the early reduction 
demonstration procedures specified in Sec. Sec.  63.74 (c)(2), (c)(3), 
(d)(2), (d)(3), and (g), or accepted engineering practices. If the total 
annual HAP emissions for the plant site are annually reported under 
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 313, 
then such reported annual emissions may be used to satisfy the 
requirements of Sec.  63.100(b)(4)(i)(B).
    (C) The owner or operator shall sum the amount of annual HAP 
emissions from all emission points on the plant site. If the total 
emissions of any one HAP are less than 10 tons per year and the total 
emissions of any combination of HAP are less than 25 tons per year, the 
plant site qualifies for the exemption described in paragraph (b)(4) of 
this section, provided that emissions are kept below these thresholds.
    (ii) If such a determination is based on limitations and conditions 
that are

[[Page 192]]

federally enforceable (as defined in subpart A of this part), the owner 
or operator is not subject to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section.
    (c) The owner or operator of a chemical manufacturing process unit 
that meets the criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(3) of 
this section but does not use as a reactant or manufacture as a product 
or co-product, any organic hazardous air pollutant listed in table 2 of 
this subpart shall comply only with the requirements of Sec.  63.103(e) 
of this subpart. To comply with this subpart, such chemical 
manufacturing process units shall not be required to comply with the 
provisions of subpart A of this part.
    (d) The primary product of a chemical manufacturing process unit 
shall be determined according to the procedures specified in paragraphs 
(d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4) of this section.
    (1) If a chemical manufacturing process unit produces more than one 
intended chemical product, the product with the greatest annual design 
capacity on a mass basis determines the primary product of the process.
    (2) If a chemical manufacturing process unit has two or more 
products that have the same maximum annual design capacity on a mass 
basis and if one of those chemicals is listed in table 1 of this 
subpart, then the listed chemical is considered the primary product and 
the chemical manufacturing process unit is subject to this subpart. If 
more than one of the products is listed in table 1 of this subpart, then 
the owner or operator may designate as the primary product any of the 
listed chemicals and the chemical manufacturing process unit is subject 
to this subpart.
    (3) For chemical manufacturing process units that are designed and 
operated as flexible operation units producing one or more chemicals 
listed in table 1 of this subpart, the primary product shall be 
determined for existing sources based on the expected utilization for 
the five years following April 22, 1994 and for new sources based on the 
expected utilization for the first five years after initial start-up.
    (i) If the predominant use of the flexible operation unit, as 
described in paragraphs (d)(3)(i)(A) and (d)(3)(i)(B) of this section, 
is to produce one or more chemicals listed in table 1 of this subpart, 
then the flexible operation unit shall be subject to the provisions of 
subparts F, G, and H of this part.
    (A) If the flexible operation unit produces one product for the 
greatest annual operating time, then that product shall represent the 
primary product of the flexible operation unit.
    (B) If the flexible operation unit produces multiple chemicals 
equally based on operating time, then the product with the greatest 
annual production on a mass basis shall represent the primary product of 
the flexible operation unit.
    (ii) The determination of applicability of this subpart to chemical 
manufacturing process units that are designed and operated as flexible 
operation units shall be reported as part of an operating permit 
application or as otherwise specified by the permitting authority.
    (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (d)(3) of this 
section, for chemical manufacturing process units that are designed and 
operated as flexible operation units producing a chemical listed in 
paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section, the primary product shall be 
determined for existing sources based on the expected utilization for 
the five years following May 12, 1998 and for new sources based on the 
expected utilization for the first five years after initial start-up.
    (i) The predominant use of the flexible operation unit shall be 
determined according to paragraphs (d)(3)(i)(A) and (d)(3)(i)(B) of this 
section. If the predominant use is to produce one of the chemicals 
listed in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section, then the flexible 
operation unit shall be subject to the provisions of this subpart and 
subparts G and H of this part.
    (ii) The determination of applicability of this subpart to chemical 
manufacturing process units that are designed and operated as flexible 
operation units shall be reported as part of an operating permit 
application or as otherwise specified by the permitting authority.
    (e) The source to which this subpart applies is the collection of 
all chemical manufacturing process units and the associated equipment at 
a major source

[[Page 193]]

compressors, agitators, pressure relief devices, sampling connection 
systems, open-ended valves or lines, valves, connectors, instrumentation 
systems, surge control vessels, and bottoms receivers within a source 
that is subject to this subpart. If specific items of equipment, 
comprising part of a chemical manufacturing process unit subject to this 
subpart, are managed by different administrative organizations (e.g., 
different companies, affiliates, departments, divisions, etc.), those 
items of equipment may be aggregated with any chemical manufacturing 
process unit within the source for all purposes under subpart H of this 
part, providing there is no delay in the applicable compliance date in 
Sec.  63.100(k).
    (f) The source includes the emission points listed in paragraphs 
(f)(1) through (f)(11) of this section, but those emission points are 
not subject to the requirements of this subpart F and subparts G and H 
of this part. This subpart does not require emission points that are 
listed in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(11) of this section to comply 
with the provisions of subpart A of this part.
    (1) Equipment that is located within a chemical manufacturing 
process unit that is subject to this subpart but the equipment does not 
contain organic hazardous air pollutants.
    (2) Stormwater from segregated sewers;
    (3) Water from fire-fighting and deluge systems in segregated

pollutant service, as defined in Sec.  63.161 of subpart H of this part, 
for less than 300 hours during the calendar year.
    (g) The owner or operator shall follow the procedures specified in 
paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this section to determine whether a 
storage vessel is part of the source to which this subpart applies.
    (1) Where a storage vessel is dedicated to a chemical manufacturing 
process unit, the storage vessel shall be considered part of that 
chemical manufacturing process unit.
    (i) If the chemical manufacturing process unit is subject to this 
subpart according to the criteria specified in paragraph (b) of this 
section, then the storage vessel is part of the source to which this 
subpart applies.
    (ii) If the chemical manufacturing process unit is not subject to 
this subpart according to the criteria specified in paragraph (b) of 
this section, then the storage vessel is not part of the source to which 
this subpart applies.
    (2) If a storage vessel is not dedicated to a single chemical 
manufacturing

[[Page 194]]

process unit, then the applicability of this subpart F and subpart G of 
this part shall be determined according to the provisions in paragraphs 
(g)(2)(i) through (g)(2)(iii) of this section.
    (i) If a storage vessel is shared among chemical manufacturing 
process units and one of the process units has the predominant use, as 
determined by paragraph (g)(2)(i)(A) and (g)(2)(i)(B) of this section, 
then the storage vessel is part of that chemical manufacturing process 
unit.
    (A) If the greatest input into the storage vessel is from a chemical 
manufacturing process unit that is located on the same plant site, then 
that chemical manufacturing process unit has the predominant use.
    (B) If the greatest input into the storage vessel is provided from a 
chemical manufacturing process unit that is not located on the same 
plant site, then the predominant use is the chemical manufacturing 
process unit on the same plant site that receives the greatest amount of 
material from the storage vessel.
    (ii) If a storage vessel is shared among chemical manufacturing 
process units so that there is no single predominant use, and at least 
one of those chemical manufacturing process units is subject to this 
subpart, the storage vessel shall be considered to be part of the 
chemical manufacturing process unit that is subject to this subpart. If 
more than one chemical manufacturing process unit is subject to this 
subpart, the owner or operator may assign the storage vessel to any of 
the chemical manufacturing process units subject to this subpart.
    (iii) If the predominant use of a storage vessel varies from year to 
year, then the applicability of this subpart shall be determined 
according to the criteria in paragraphs (g)(2)(iii)(A) and 
(g)(2)(iii)(B) of this section, as applicable. This determination shall 
be reported as part of an operating permit application or as otherwise 
specified by the permitting authority.
    (A) For chemical manufacturing process units that produce one or 
more of the chemicals listed in table 1 of this subpart and meet the 
criteria in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, the 
applicability shall be based on the utilization that occurred during the 
12-month period preceding April 22, 1994.
    (B) For chemical manufacturing process units that produce one or 
more of the chemicals listed in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section and 
meet the criteria in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, the 
applicability shall be based on the utilization that occurred during the 
12-month period preceding May 12, 1998.
    (iv) If there is a change in the material stored in the storage 
vessel, the owner or operator shall reevaluate the applicability of this 
subpart to the vessel.
    (3) Where a storage vessel is located at a major source that 
includes one or more chemical manufacturing process units which place 
material into, or receive materials from the storage vessel, but the 
storage vessel is located in a tank farm (including a marine tank farm), 
the applicability of this subpart F and subpart G of this part shall be 
determined according to the provisions in paragraphs (g)(3)(i) through 
(g)(3)(iv) of this section.
    (i) The storage vessel may only be assigned to a chemical 
manufacturing process unit that utilizes the storage vessel and does not 
have an intervening storage vessel for that product (or raw material, as 
appropriate). With respect to any chemical manufacturing process unit, 
an intervening storage vessel means a storage vessel connected by hard-
piping to the chemical manufacturing process unit and to the storage 
vessel in the tank farm so that product or raw material entering or 
leaving the chemical manufacturing process unit flows into (or from) the 
intervening storage vessel and does not flow directly into (or from) the 
storage vessel in the tank farm.
    (ii) If there is no chemical manufacturing process unit at the major 
source that meets the criteria of paragraph (g)(3)(i) of this section 
with respect to a storage vessel, this subpart F and subpart G of this 
part do not apply to the storage vessel.
    (iii) If there is only one chemical manufacturing process unit at 
the major source that meets the criteria of paragraph (g)(3)(i) of this 
section with respect to a storage vessel, the storage

[[Page 195]]

vessel shall be assigned to that chemical manufacturing process unit. 
Applicability of this subpart F and subpart G to this part to the 
storage vessel shall then be determined according to the provisions of 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (iv) If there are two or more chemical manufacturing process units 
at the major source that meet the criteria of paragraph (g)(3)(i) of 
this section with respect to a storage vessel, the storage vessel shall 
be assigned to one of those chemical manufacturing process units 
according to the provisions of paragraph (g)(2) of this section. The 
predominant use shall be determined among only those chemical

considered a transfer rack (as defined in Sec.  63.101 of this subpart) 
and is part of the source to which this subpart applies.
    (ii) If the chemical manufacturing process unit is not subject to 
this subpart according to the criteria specified in paragraph (b) of 
this section, then the loading rack is not considered a transfer rack 
(as defined in Sec.  63.101 of this subpart) and is not a part of the 
source to which this subpart applies.
    (2) If a loading rack is shared among chemical manufacturing process 
units, then the applicability of this subpart F and subpart G of this 
part shall be determined at each loading arm or loading hose according 
to the provisions in paragraphs (h)(2)(i) through (h)(2)(iv) of this 
section.
    (i) Each loading arm or loading hose that is dedicated to the 
transfer of liquid organic hazardous air pollutants listed in table 2 of 
this subpart from a chemical manufacturing process unit to which this 
subpart applies is part of that chemical manufacturing process unit and 
is part of the source to which this subpart applies unless the loading 
arm or loading hose meets the criteria specified in paragraphs (f)(9) or 
(f)(10) of this section.
    (ii) If a loading arm or loading hose is shared among chemical 
manufacturing process units, and one of the chemical manufacturing 
process units provides the greatest amount of the material that is 
loaded by the loading arm or loading hose, then the loading arm or 
loading hose is part of that chemical manufacturing process unit.
    (A) If the chemical manufacturing process unit is subject to this 
subpart according to the criteria specified in paragraph (b) of this 
section, then the loading arm or loading hose is part of the source to 
which this subpart applies unless the loading arm or loading hose meets 
the criteria specified in paragraphs (f)(9) or (f)(10) of this section.
    (B) If the chemical manufacturing process unit is not subject to 
this subpart according to the criteria specified in paragraph (b) of 
this section, then the loading arm or loading hose is not part of the

emissions in excess of those that would have occurred if the transferee 
had continued managing the gas stream in compliance with the 
requirements in Sec. Sec.  63.113 through 63.118. The measures to be 
taken shall be identified in the applicable startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan. If the measures that can be reasonably taken will 
change over time, so that a more effective measure which could not 
reasonably be taken

[[Page 204]]

initially would be reasonable at a later date, the Administrator may 
require the more effective measure by a specified date (in addition to 
or instead of any other measures taken sooner or later than that date) 
as a condition of approval of the compliance schedule.
    (4)(i) An owner or operator directed to comply with this paragraph

how, and to what extent, each measure will minimize excess emissions, 
and shall justify any period of time when measures are not in place.
    (ii) The Administrator shall approve or disapprove the request for 
determination of a compliance date and the compliance schedule, or 
request changes, within 120 days after receipt of the documents 
specified in paragraphs (q)(4)(i)(A) through (E) of this section. Upon 
approving the request for determination and compliance schedule, the 
Administrator shall specify a reasonable compliance date consistent with 
the introductory text in paragraph (q) of this section.
    (5) If the owner's or operator's inability to meet otherwise 
applicable compliance deadlines is due to amendments of this subpart or 
of subpart G of this part published on or after January 22, 2001 and 
neither condition specified in paragraph (q)(1) or (3) of this section 
is applicable, the owner or operator shall comply with paragraph (q)(6) 
of this section.
    (6)(i) An owner or operator directed to comply with this paragraph 
(6)(i) shall submit to the Administrator for approval, a request for 
determination of a compliance date, a compliance schedule, a 
justification for the determination of a compliance date, and a 
justification for the compliance schedule.
    (ii) The documents required to be submitted under paragraph 
(q)(6)(i) of this section shall be submitted no later than 120 days 
after publication of the amendments of this subpart or of subpart G of 
this part which necessitate the request for an extension.
    (iii) The Administrator shall approve or disapprove the request for 
a determination of a compliance date, or request changes, within 120 
days after receipt of the request for determination of a compliance 
date, the compliance schedule, and the two justifications. If the 
request for determination of a compliance date is disapproved, the 
compliance schedule is disapproved and the owner or operator shall 
comply by the applicable date specified in paragraph (k),(l), or (m) of 
this section. If the request for the determination of a compliance date 
is approved, the Administrator shall specify, at the time of approval, a 
reasonable compliance date consistent with the introductory text in 
paragraph (q) of this section.

or more of the organic hazardous air pollutants listed in table 2 of 
this subpart. Transfer rack includes the associated pumps, meters, 
shutoff valves, relief valves, and other piping and valves. Transfer 
rack does not include:
    (1) Racks, arms, or hoses that only transfer liquids containing 
organic hazardous air pollutants as impurities;
    (2) Racks, arms, or hoses that vapor balance during all loading 
operations; or
    (3) Racks transferring organic liquids that contain organic 
hazardous air pollutants only as impurities.
    Unit operation means one or more pieces of process equipment used to 
make a single change to the physical or chemical characteristics of one 
or more process streams. Unit operations

[[Page 209]]

include, but are not limited to, reactors, distillation units, 
extraction columns, absorbers, decanters, dryers, condensers, and 
filtration equipment.
    Vapor balancing system means a piping system that is designed to 
collect organic hazardous air pollutants vapors displaced from tank 
trucks or railcars during loading; and to route the collected organic 
hazardous air pollutants vapors to the storage vessel from which the 
liquid being loaded originated, or to another storage vessel connected 
by a common header or to compress and route to a process or a fuel gas 
system the collected organic hazardous air pollutants vapors.
    Waste management unit means the equipment, structure(s), and/or 
device(s) used to convey, store, treat, or dispose of wastewater streams 
or residuals. Examples of waste management units include: Wastewater 
tanks, surface impoundments, individual drain systems, and biological 
wastewater treatment units. Examples of equipment that may be waste 
management units include containers, air flotation units, oil-water 
separators or organic-water separators, or organic removal devices such 
as decanters, strippers, or thin-film evaporation units. If such 
equipment is used for recovery then it is part of a chemical 
manufacturing process unit and is not a waste management unit.
    Wastewater means water that:
    (1) Contains either:
    (i) An annual average concentration of Table 9 compounds (as defined 
in Sec.  63.111 of subpart G of this part) of at least 5 parts per 
million by weight and has an annual average flow rate of 0.02 liter per 
minute or greater, or
    (ii) An annual average concentration of Table 9 compounds (as 
defined in Sec.  63.111 of subpart G) of at least 10,000 parts per 
million by weight at any flow rate, and that
    (2) Is discarded from a chemical manufacturing process unit that 
meets all of the criteria specified in Sec.  63.100 (b)(1) through 
(b)(3) of this subpart. Wastewater is process wastewater or maintenance 
wastewater.

Sec.  63.102  General standards.

    (a) Owners and operators of sources subject to this subpart shall 
comply with the requirements of subparts G and H of this part.
    (1) The provisions set forth in this subpart F and subpart G of this 
part shall apply at all times except during periods of start-up or 
shutdown (as defined in Sec.  63.101 of this subpart), malfunction, or 
non-operation of the chemical manufacturing process unit (or specific 
portion thereof) resulting in cessation of the emissions to which this 
subpart F and subpart G of this part apply. However, if a start-up, 
shutdown, malfunction or period of non-operation of one portion of a 
chemical manufacturing process unit does not affect the ability of a 
particular emission point to comply with the specific provisions to 
which it is subject, then that emission point shall still be required to 
comply with the applicable provisions of this subpart F and subpart G of 
this part during the start-up, shutdown, malfunction or period of non-
operation. For example, if there is an overpressure in the reactor area, 
a storage vessel in the chemical manufacturing process unit would still 
be required to be controlled in accordance with Sec.  63.119 of subpart 
G of the part. Similarly, the degassing of a storage vessel would not 
affect the ability of a process vent to meet the requirements of Sec.  
63.113 of subpart G of this part.
    (2) The provisions set forth in subpart H of this part shall apply 
at all times except during periods of start-up or shutdown, as defined 
in Sec.  63.101(b) of this subpart, malfunction, process unit shutdown 
(as defined in Sec.  63.161 of subpart H of this part), or non-operation 
of the chemical manufacturing process unit (or specific portion thereof) 
in which the lines are drained and depressurized resulting in cessation 
of the emissions to which subpart H of this part applies.
    (3) The owner or operator shall not shut down items of equipment 
that are required or utilized for compliance with the provisions of this 
subpart F, subpart G or H of this part during times when emissions (or, 
where applicable, wastewater streams or residuals) are being routed to 
such items of

[[Page 210]]

equipment, if the shutdown would contravene requirements of this subpart 
F, subpart G or H of this part applicable to such items of equipment. 
This paragraph does not apply if the item of equipment is 
malfunctioning, or if the owner or operator must shut down the equipment 
to avoid damage due to a contemporaneous start-up, shutdown, or 
malfunction of the chemical manufacturing process unit or portion 
thereof.
    (4) During start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions when the 
requirements of this subpart F, subparts G and/or H of this part do not 
apply pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section, the 
owner or operator shall implement, to the extent reasonably available, 
measures to prevent or minimize excess emissions to the extent 
practical. The general duty to minimize emissions during a period of 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction does not require the owner or operator 
to achieve emission levels that would be required by the applicable 
standard at other times if this is not consistent with safety and good 
air pollution control practices, nor does it require the owner or 
operator to make any further efforts to reduce emissions if levels 
required by the applicable standard have been achieved. Determination of 
whether such operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be 
based on information available to the Administrator which may include, 
but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and 
maintenance procedures (including the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan required in Sec.  63.6(e)(3)), review of operation and maintenance 
records, and inspection of the source. The measures to be taken may 
include, but are not limited to, air pollution control technologies, 
recovery technologies, work practices, pollution prevention, monitoring, 
and/or changes in the manner of operation of the source. Back-up control 
devices are not required, but may be used if available.
    (b) If, in the judgment of the Administrator, an alternative means 
of emission limitation will achieve a reduction in organic HAP emissions 
at least equivalent to the reduction in organic HAP emissions from that 
source achieved under any design, equipment, work practice, or 
operational standards in subpart G or H of this part, the Administrator 
will publish in the Federal Register a notice permitting the use of the 
alternative means for purposes of compliance with that requirement.
    (1) The notice may condition the permission on requirements related 
to the operation and maintenance of the alternative means.
    (2) Any notice under paragraph (b) of this section shall be 
published only after public notice and an opportunity for a hearing.
    (3) Any person seeking permission to use an alternative means of 
compliance under this section shall collect, verify, and submit to the 
Administrator information showing that the alternative means achieves 
equivalent emission reductions.
    (c) Each owner or operator of a source subject to this subpart shall 
obtain a permit under 40 CFR part 70 or part 71 from the appropriate 
permitting authority by the date determined by 40 CFR part 70 or part 
71, as appropriate.
    (1) If the EPA has approved a State operating permit program under 
40 CFR Part 70, the permit shall be obtained from the State authority. 
If the State operating permit program has not been approved, the source 
shall apply to the EPA Regional Office.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (d) The requirements in subparts F, G, and H of this part are 
Federally enforceable under section 112 of the Act on and after the 
dates specified in Sec.  63.100(k) of this subpart.

Sec.  63.103  General compliance, reporting, and recordkeeping provisions.

    (a) Table 3 of this subpart specifies the provisions of subpart A 
that apply and those that do not apply to owners and operators of 
sources subject to subparts F, G, and H of this part.
    (b) Initial performance tests and initial compliance determinations 
shall be required only as specified in subparts G and H of this part.

[[Page 211]]

    (1) Performance tests and compliance determinations shall be 
conducted according to the schedule and procedures in Sec.  63.7(a) of 
subpart A of this part and the applicable sections of subparts G and H 
of this part.
    (2) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator of the 
intention to conduct a performance test at least 30 calendar days before 
the performance test is scheduled to allow the Administrator the 
opportunity to have an observer present during the test.
    (3) Performance tests shall be conducted according to the provisions 
of Sec.  63.7(e) of subpart A of this part, except that performance 
tests shall be conducted at maximum representative operating conditions 
for the process. During the performance test, an owner or operator may 
operate the control or recovery device at maximum or minimum 
representative operating conditions for monitored control or recovery 
device parameters, whichever results in lower emission reduction.
    (4) Data shall be reduced in accordance with the EPA-approved 
methods specified in the applicable subpart or, if other test methods 
are used, the data and methods shall be validated according to the 
protocol in Method 301 of appendix A of this part.
    (5) Performance tests may be waived with approval of the 
Administrator as specified in Sec.  63.7(h)(2) of subpart A of this 
part. Owners or operators of sources subject to subparts F, G, and H of 
this part who apply for a waiver of a performance test shall submit the 
application by the dates specified in paragraph (b)(5)(i) of this 
section rather than the dates specified in Sec.  63.7(h)(3) of subpart A 
of this part.
    (i) If a request is made for an extension of compliance under Sec.  
63.151(a)(6) of subpart G or Sec.  63.6(i) of subpart A of this part, 
the application for a waiver of an initial performance test shall 
accompany the information required for the request for an extension of 
compliance. If no extension of compliance is requested, the application 
for a waiver of an initial performance test shall be submitted no later 
than 90 calendar days before the Notification of Compliance Status 
required in Sec.  63.152(b) of subpart G of this part is due to be 
submitted.
    (ii) Any application for a waiver of a performance test shall 
include information justifying the owner or operator's request for a 
waiver, such as the technical or economic infeasibility, or the 
impracticality, of the source performing the required test.
    (6) The owner or operator of a flexible operation unit shall conduct 
all required compliance demonstrations during production of the primary 
product. The owner or operator is not required to conduct compliance 
demonstrations for operating conditions during production of a product 
other than the primary product. Except as otherwise provided in this 
subpart or in subpart G or subpart H of this part, as applicable, the 
owner or operator shall operate each control device, recovery device, 
and/or recapture device that is required or used for compliance, and 
associated monitoring systems, without regard for whether the product 
that is being produced is the primary product or a different product. 
Except as otherwise provided in this subpart, subpart G and/or subpart H 
of this part, as applicable, operation of a control device, recapture 
device and/or recovery device required or used for compliance such that 
the daily average of monitored parameter values is outside the parameter 
range established pursuant to Sec.  63.152(b)(2), or such that the 
monitoring data show operation inconsistent with the monitoring plan 
established pursuant to Sec.  63.120(d)(2) or Sec.  63.181(g)(1)(iv), 
shall constitute a violation of the required operating conditions.
    (c) Each owner or operator of a source subject to subparts F, G, and 
H of this part shall keep copies of all applicable reports and records 
required by subparts F, G, and H of this part for at least 5 years; 
except that, if subparts G or H require records to be maintained for a 
time period different than 5 years, those records shall be maintained 
for the time specified in subpart G or H of this part. If an owner or 
operator submits copies of reports to the applicable EPA Regional 
Office, the owner or operator is not required to maintain copies of 
reports. If the EPA Regional Office has waived the requirement of Sec.  
63.10(a)(4)(ii) for submittal of copies of reports, the owner

[[Page 212]]

or operator is not required to maintain copies of reports.
    (1) All applicable records shall be maintained in such a manner that 
they can be readily accessed. The most recent 6 months of records shall 
be retained on site or shall be accessible from a central location by 
computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours after a 
request. The remaining four and one-half years of records may be 
retained offsite. Records may be maintained in hard copy or computer-
readable form including, but not limited to, on paper, microfilm, 
computer, floppy disk, magnetic tape, or microfiche.
    (2) The owner or operator subject to subparts F, G, and H of this 
part shall keep the records specified in this paragraph, as well as 
records specified in subparts G and H.
    (i) Records of the occurrence and duration of each start-up, 
shutdown, and malfunction of operation of process equipment or of air 
pollution control equipment or continuous monitoring systems used to 
comply with this subpart F, subpart G, or H of this part during which 
excess emissions (as defined in Sec.  63.102(a)(4)) occur.
    (ii) For each start-up, shutdown, and malfunction during which 
excess emissions (as defined in Sec.  63.102(a)(4)) occur, records that 
the procedures specified in the source's start-up, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan were followed, and documentation of actions taken that 
are not consistent with the plan. For example, if a start-up, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan includes procedures for routing a control device to 
a backup control device (e.g., the incinerator for a halogenated stream 
could be routed to a flare during periods when the primary control 
device is out of service), records must be kept of whether the plan was 
followed. These records may take the form of a ``checklist,'' or other 
form of recordkeeping that confirms conformance with the start-up, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan for the event.
    (iii) For continuous monitoring systems used to comply with subpart 
G of this part, records documenting the completion of calibration checks 
and maintenance of continuous monitoring systems that are specified in 
the manufacturer's instructions or other written procedures that provide 
adequate assurance that the equipment would reasonably be expected to 
monitor accurately.
    (3) Records of start-up, shutdown and malfunction and continuous 
monitoring system calibration and maintenance are not required if they 
pertain solely to Group 2 emission points, as defined in Sec.  63.111 of 
subpart G of this part, that are not included in an emissions average.
    (d) All reports required under subparts F, G, and H of this part 
shall be sent to the Administrator at the addresses listed in Sec.  
63.13 of subpart A of this part, except that requests for permission to 
use an alternative means of compliance as provided for in Sec.  
63.102(b) of this subpart and application for approval of a nominal 
efficiency as provided for in Sec.  63.150 (i)(1) through (i)(6) of 
subpart G of this part shall be submitted to the Director of the EPA 
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards rather than to the 
Administrator or delegated authority.
    (1) Wherever subpart A of this part specifies ``postmark'' dates, 
submittals may be sent by methods other than the U.S. Mail (e.g., by fax 
or courier). Submittals shall be sent on or before the specified date.
    (2) If acceptable to both the Administrator and the owner or 
operator of a source, reports may be submitted on electronic media.
    (e) The owner or operator of a chemical manufacturing process unit 
which meets the criteria of Sec.  63.100(b)(1) and Sec.  63.100(b)(3), 
but not the criteria of Sec.  63.100(b)(2), shall comply with the 
requirements of either paragraph (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this section.
    (1) Retain information, data, and analysis used to determine that 
the chemical manufacturing process unit does not use as a reactant or 
manufacture as a product or co-product any organic hazardous air 
pollutant. Examples of information that could document this include, but 
are not limited to, records of chemicals purchased for the process, 
analyses of process stream composition, engineering calculations, or 
process knowledge.
    (2) When requested by the Administrator, demonstrate that the 
chemical

[[Page 213]]

manufacturing process unit does not use as a reactant or manufacture as 
a product or co-product any organic hazardous air pollutant.
    (f) To qualify for the exemption specified in Sec.  63.100(b)(4) of 
this subpart, the owner or operator shall maintain the documentation of 
the information required pursuant to Sec.  63.100(b)(4)(i), and 
documentation of any update of this information requested by the EPA 
Regional Office, and shall provide the documentation to the EPA Regional 
Office upon request. The EPA Regional Office will notify the owner or 
operator, after reviewing such documentation, if the source does not 
qualify for the exemption specified in Sec.  63.100(b)(4) of this 
section. In such cases, compliance with subpart H shall be required no 
later than 90 days after expiration of the applicable compliance date in 
Sec.  63.100(k)(3), but in no event earlier than 90 days after the date 
of such notification by the EPA Regional Office. Compliance with this 
subpart F and subpart G of this part shall be no later than April 22, 
1997, or as otherwise specified in Sec.  63.100(k)(2)(ii) of this 
subpart, unless an extension has been granted by the EPA Regional Office 
or permitting authority as provided in Sec.  63.6(i) of subpart A of 
this part.
    (g) An owner or operator who elects to use the compliance extension 
provisions of Sec.  63.100(k)(6)(i) or (ii) shall submit a compliance 
extension request to the appropriate EPA Regional Office no later than 
45 days before the applicable compliance date in Sec.  63.100(k)(3), but 
in no event is submittal required earlier than May 10, 1995. The request 
shall contain the information specified in Sec.  63.100(k)(5)(iv) and 
the reason compliance can not reasonably be achieved without a process 
unit shutdown, as defined in 40 CFR 63.161 or without replacement of the 
compressor or recasting of the distance piece.
    (h) An owner or operator who elects to use the compliance extension 
provisions of Sec.  63.100(k)(8) shall submit to the appropriate EPA 
Regional Office a brief description of the process change, identify the 
HAP eliminated, and the expected date of cessation of use or production 
of HAP. The description shall be submitted no later than May 10, 1995, 
or with the Notice of Compliance Status as required in Sec.  63.182(c) 
of subpart H, whichever is later.

Sec.  63.104  Heat exchange system requirements.

    (a) Unless one or more of the conditions specified in paragraphs 
(a)(1) through (a)(6) of this section are met, owners and operators of 
sources subject to this subpart shall monitor each heat exchange system 
used to cool process equipment in a chemical manufacturing process unit 
meeting the conditions of Sec.  63.100 (b)(1) through (b)(3) of this 
subpart, except for chemical manufacturing process units meeting the 
condition specified in Sec.  63.100(c) of this subpart, according to the 
provisions in either paragraph (b) or (c) of this section. Whenever a 
leak is detected, the owner or operator shall comply with the 
requirements in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (1) The heat exchange system is operated with the minimum pressure 
on the cooling water side at least 35 kilopascals greater than the 
maximum pressure on the process side.
    (2) There is an intervening cooling fluid, containing less than 5 
percent by weight of total hazardous air pollutants listed in table 4 of 
this subpart, between the process and the cooling water. This 
intervening fluid serves to isolate the cooling water from the process 
fluid and the intervening fluid is not sent through a cooling tower or 
discharged. For purposes of this section, discharge does not include 
emptying for maintenance purposes.
    (3) The once-through heat exchange system is subject to a National 
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit with an allowable 
discharge limit of 1 part per million or less above influent 
concentration or 10 percent or less above influent concentration, 
whichever is greater.
    (4) The once-through heat exchange system is subject to an NPDES 
permit that:
    (i) Requires monitoring of a parameter(s) or condition(s) to detect 
a leak of process fluids into cooling water;

[[Page 214]]

    (ii) Specifies or includes the normal range of the parameter or 
condition;
    (iii) Requires monitoring for the parameters selected as leak 
indicators no less frequently than monthly for the first six months and 
quarterly thereafter; and
    (iv) Requires the owner or operator to report and correct leaks to 
the cooling water when the parameter or condition exceeds the normal 
range.
    (5) The recirculating heat exchange system is used to cool process 
fluids that contain less than 5 percent by weight of total hazardous air 
pollutants listed in table 4 of this subpart.
    (6) The once-through heat exchange system is used to cool process 
fluids that contain less than 5 percent by weight of total hazardous air 
pollutants listed in table 9 of subpart G of this part.
    (b) The owner or operator who elects to comply with the requirements 
of paragraph (a) of this section by monitoring the cooling water for the 
presence of one or more organic hazardous air pollutants or other 
representative substances whose presence in cooling water indicates a 
leak shall comply with the requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (b)(6) of this section. The cooling water shall be monitored for 
total hazardous air pollutants, total volatile organic compounds, total 
organic carbon, one or more speciated HAP compounds, or other 
representative substances that would indicate the presence of a leak in 
the heat exchange system.
    (1) The cooling water shall be monitored monthly for the first 6 
months and quarterly thereafter to detect leaks.
    (2)(i) For recirculating heat exchange systems (cooling tower 
systems), the monitoring of speciated hazardous air pollutants or total 
hazardous air pollutants refers to the hazardous air pollutants listed 
in table 4 of this subpart.
    (ii) For once-through heat exchange systems, the monitoring of 
speciated hazardous air pollutants or total hazardous air pollutants 
refers to the hazardous air pollutants listed in table 9 of subpart G of 
this part.
    (3) The concentration of the monitored substance(s) in the cooling 
water shall be determined using any EPA-approved method listed in part 
136 of this chapter as long as the method is sensitive to concentrations 
as low as 10 parts per million and the same method is used for both 
entrance and exit samples. Alternative methods may be used upon approval 
by the Administrator.
    (4) The samples shall be collected either at the entrance and exit 
of each heat exchange system or at locations where the cooling water 
enters and exits each heat exchanger or any combination of heat 
exchangers.
    (i) For samples taken at the entrance and exit of recirculating heat 
exchange systems, the entrance is the point at which the cooling water 
leaves the cooling tower prior to being returned to the process 
equipment and the exit is the point at which the cooling water is 
introduced to the cooling tower after being used to cool the process 
fluid.
    (ii) For samples taken at the entrance and exit of once-through heat 
exchange systems, the entrance is the point at which the cooling water 
enters and the exit is the point at which the cooling water exits the 
plant site or chemical manufacturing process units.
    (iii) For samples taken at the entrance and exit of each heat 
exchanger or any combination of heat exchangers in chemical 
manufacturing process units, the entrance is the point at which the 
cooling water enters the individual heat exchanger or group of heat 
exchangers and the exit is the point at which the cooling water exits 
the heat exchanger or group of heat exchangers.
    (5) A minimum of three sets of samples shall be taken at each 
entrance and exit as defined in paragraph (b)(4) of this section. The 
average entrance and exit concentrations shall then be calculated. The 
concentration shall be corrected for the addition of any makeup water or 
for any evaporative losses, as applicable.
    (6) A leak is detected if the exit mean concentration is found to be 
greater than the entrance mean using a one-sided statistical procedure 
at the 0.05 level of significance and the amount by which it is greater 
is at least 1 part per million or 10 percent of the entrance mean, 
whichever is greater.
    (c) The owner or operator who elects to comply with the requirement 
of

[[Page 215]]

paragraph (a) of this section by monitoring using a surrogate indicator 
of heat exchange system leaks shall comply with the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(3) of this section. Surrogate 
indicators that could be used to develop an acceptable monitoring 
program are ion specific electrode monitoring, pH, conductivity or other 
representative indicators.
    (1) The owner or operator shall prepare and implement a monitoring 
plan that documents the procedures that will be used to detect leaks of 
process fluids into cooling water. The plan shall require monitoring of 
one or more surrogate indicators or monitoring of one or more process 
parameters or other conditions that indicate a leak. Monitoring that is 
already being conducted for other purposes may be used to satisfy the 
requirements of this section. The plan shall include the information 
specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) A description of the parameter or condition to be monitored and 
an explanation of how the selected parameter or condition will reliably 
indicate the presence of a leak.
    (ii) The parameter level(s) or conditions(s) that shall constitute a 
leak. This shall be documented by data or calculations showing that the 
selected levels or conditions will reliably identify leaks. The 
monitoring must be sufficiently sensitive to determine the range of 
parameter levels or conditions when the system is not leaking. When the 
selected parameter level or condition is outside that range, a leak is 
indicated.
    (iii) The monitoring frequency which shall be no less frequent than 
monthly for the first 6 months and quarterly thereafter to detect leaks.
    (iv) The records that will be maintained to document compliance with 
the requirements of this section.
    (2) If a substantial leak is identified by methods other than those 
described in the monitoring plan and the method(s) specified in the plan 
could not detect the leak, the owner or operator shall revise the plan 
and document the basis for the changes. The owner or operator shall 
complete the revisions to the plan no later than 180 days after 
discovery of the leak.
    (3) The owner or operator shall maintain, at all times, the 
monitoring plan that is currently in use. The current plan shall be 
maintained on-site, or shall be accessible from a central location by 
computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours after a 
request. If the monitoring plan is superseded, the owner or operator 
shall retain the most recent superseded plan at least until 5 years from 
the date of its creation. The superseded plan shall be retained on-site 
(or accessible from a central location by computer or other means that 
provides access within two hours after a request) for at least 6 months 
after its creation.
    (d) If a leak is detected according to the criteria of paragraph (b) 
or (c) of this section, the owner or operator shall comply with the 
requirements in paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) of this section, except as 
provided in paragraph (e) of this section.
    (1) The leak shall be repaired as soon as practical but not later 
than 45 calendar days after the owner or operator receives results of 
monitoring tests indicating a leak. The leak shall be repaired unless 
the owner or operator demonstrates that the results are due to a 
condition other than a leak.
    (2) Once the leak has been repaired, the owner or operator shall 
confirm that the heat exchange system has been repaired within 7 
calendar days of the repair or startup, whichever is later.
    (e) Delay of repair of heat exchange systems for which leaks have 
been detected is allowed if the equipment is isolated from the process. 
Delay of repair is also allowed if repair is technically infeasible 
without a shutdown and any one of the conditions in paragraph (e)(1) or 
(e)(2) of this section is met. All time periods in paragraphs (e)(1) and 
(e)(2) of this section shall be determined from the date when the owner 
or operator determines that delay of repair is necessary.
    (1) If a shutdown is expected within the next 2 months, a special 
shutdown before that planned shutdown is not required.
    (2) If a shutdown is not expected within the next 2 months, the 
owner or operator may delay repair as provided in paragraph (e)(2)(i) or 
(e)(2)(ii) of this

[[Page 216]]

section. Documentation of a decision to delay repair shall state the 
reasons repair was delayed and shall specify a schedule for completing 
the repair as soon as practical.
    (i) If a shutdown for repair would cause greater emissions than the 
potential emissions from delaying repair, the owner or operator may 
delay repair until the next shutdown of the process equipment associated 
with the leaking heat exchanger. The owner or operator shall document 
the basis for the determination that a shutdown for repair would cause 
greater emissions than the emissions likely to result from delaying 
repair as specified in paragraphs (e)(2)(i)(A) and (e)(2)(i)(B) of this 
section.
    (A) The owner or operator shall calculate the potential emissions 
from the leaking heat exchanger by multiplying the concentration of 
total hazardous air pollutants listed in table 4 of this subpart in the 
cooling water from the leaking heat exchanger by the flowrate of the 
cooling water from the leaking heat exchanger by the expected duration 
of the delay. The owner or operator may calculate potential emissions 
using total organic carbon concentration instead of total hazardous air 
pollutants listed in table 4 of this subpart.
    (B) The owner or operator shall determine emissions from purging and 
depressurizing the equipment that will result from the unscheduled 
shutdown for the repair.
    (ii) If repair is delayed for reasons other than those specified in 
paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this section, the owner or operator may delay 
repair up to a maximum of 120 calendar days. The owner shall demonstrate 
that the necessary parts or personnel were not available.
    (f)(1) Required records. The owner or operator shall retain the 
records identified in paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (f)(1)(iv) of this 
section as specified in Sec.  63.103(c)(1).
    (i) Monitoring data required by this section indicating a leak and 
the date when the leak was detected, and if demonstrated not to be a 
leak, the basis for that determination;
    (ii) Records of any leaks detected by procedures subject to 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section and the date the leak was discovered;
    (iii) The dates of efforts to repair leaks; and
    (iv) The method or procedure used to confirm repair of a leak and 
the date repair was confirmed.
    (2) Reports. If an owner or operator invokes the delay of repair 
provisions for a heat exchange system, the following information shall 
be submitted in the next semi-annual periodic report required by Sec.  
63.152(c) of subpart G of this part. If the leak remains unrepaired, the 
information shall also be submitted in each subsequent periodic report, 
until repair of the leak is reported.
    (i) The owner or operator shall report the presence of the leak and 
the date that the leak was detected.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall report whether or not the leak has 
been repaired.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall report the reason(s) for delay of 
repair. If delay of repair is invoked due to the reasons described in 
paragraph (e)(2) of this section, documentation of emissions estimates 
must also be submitted.
    (iv) If the leak remains unrepaired, the owner or operator shall 
report the expected date of repair.
    (v) If the leak is repaired, the owner or operator shall report the 
date the leak was successfully repaired.

Sec.  63.107  Identification of process vents subject to this subpart.

    (a) The owner or operator shall use the criteria specified in this 
Sec.  63.107 to determine whether there are any process vents associated 
with an air oxidation reactor, distillation unit, or reactor that is in 
a source subject to this subpart. A process vent is the point of 
discharge to the atmosphere (or the point of entry into a control 
device, if any) of a gas stream if the gas stream has the 
characteristics specified in paragraphs (b) through (h) of this section, 
or meets the criteria specified in paragraph (i) of this section.
    (b) Some, or all, of the gas stream originates as a continuous flow 
from an air oxidation reactor, distillation unit, or reactor during 
operation of the chemical manufacturing process unit.
    (c) The discharge to the atmosphere (with or without passing through 
a control device) meets at least one of the conditions specified in 
paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) Is directly from an air oxidation reactor, distillation unit, or 
reactor; or
    (2) Is from an air oxidation reactor, distillation unit, or reactor 
after passing solely (i.e., without passing through any other unit 
operation for a process purpose) through one or more recovery devices 
within the chemical manufacturing process unit; or
    (3) Is from a device recovering only mechanical energy from a gas 
stream

[[Page 218]]

that comes either directly from an air oxidation reactor, distillation 
unit, or reactor, or from an air oxidation reactor, distillation unit, 
or reactor after passing solely (i.e., without passing through any other 
unit operation for a process purpose) through one or more recovery 
devices within the chemical manufacturing process unit.
    (d) The gas stream contains greater than 0.005 weight percent total 
organic HAP at the point of discharge to the atmosphere (or at the point 
of entry into a control device, if any).
    (e) The air oxidation reactor, distillation unit, or reactor is part 
of a chemical manufacturing process unit that meets the criteria of 
Sec.  63.100(b).
    (f) The gas stream is in the gas phase from the point of origin at 
the air oxidation reactor, distillation unit, or reactor to the point of 
discharge to the atmosphere (or to the point of entry into a control 
device, if any).
    (g) The gas stream is discharged to the atmosphere either on-site, 
off-site, or both.
    (h) The gas stream is not any of the items identified in paragraphs 
(h)(1) through (9) of this section.
    (1) A relief valve discharge.
    (2) A leak from equipment subject to subpart H of this part.
    (3) A gas stream going to a fuel gas system as defined in Sec.  
63.101.
    (4) A gas stream exiting a control device used to comply with Sec.  
63.113.
    (5) A gas stream transferred to other processes (on-site or off-
site) for reaction or other use in another process (i.e., for chemical 
value as a product, isolated intermediate, byproduct, or coproduct, or 
for heat value).
    (6) A gas stream transferred for fuel value (i.e., net positive 
heating value), use, reuse, or for sale for fuel value, use, or reuse.
    (7) A storage vessel vent or transfer operation vent subject to 
Sec.  63.119 or Sec.  63.126.
    (8) A vent from a waste management unit subject to Sec. Sec.  63.132 
through 63.137.
    (9) A gas stream exiting an analyzer.
    (i) The gas stream would meet the characteristics specified in 
paragraphs (b) through (g) of this section, but, for purposes of 
avoiding applicability, has been deliberately interrupted, temporarily 
liquefied, routed through any item of equipment for no process purpose, 
or disposed of in a flare that does not meet the criteria in Sec.  
63.11(b), or an incinerator that does not reduce emissions of organic 
HAP by 98 percent or to a concentration of 20 parts per million by 
volume, whichever is less stringent.

streams located within new sources.
    (e) The owner or operator of a Group 2 process vent shall 
recalculate the TRE index value, flow, or organic hazardous air 
pollutants concentration for each process vent, as necessary to 
determine whether the vent is Group 1 or Group 2, whenever process 
changes are made that could reasonably be expected to change the vent to 
a Group 1 vent. Examples of process changes include, but are not limited 
to, changes in production capacity, production rate, feedstock type, or 
catalyst type, or whenever there is replacement, removal, or addition of

TOC, and organic HAP concentrations, and heating values as specified in 
Sec.  63.115 (a), (b), (c), and (d) of this subpart, as applicable, or 
on best engineering assessment of the effects of the change. Engineering 
assessments shall meet the specifications in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section.
    (2) Where the recalculated TRE index value is less than or equal to 
1.0, or less than or equal to 4.0 but greater than 1.0, the recalculated 
flow rate is greater than or equal to 0.005 standard cubic meter per 
minute, or the recalculated concentration is greater than or equal to 50 
parts per million by volume, the owner or operator shall submit a report 
as specified in Sec.  63.118 (g), (h), (i), or (j) of this subpart and 
shall comply with the appropriate provisions in Sec.  63.113 of this 
subpart by the dates specified in Sec.  63.100 of subpart F of this 
part.
    (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subpart, in any 
case where a process vent includes one or more gas streams that are not 
from a source subject to this subpart (hereafter called ``non-HON 
streams'' for purposes of this paragraph), and one or more gas streams 
that meet the criteria in Sec.  63.107(b) through (h) or the criteria in 
Sec.  63.107(i) (hereafter called ``HON streams'' for purposes of this 
paragraph), the owner or operator may elect to comply with paragraphs 
(f)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator may determine the characteristics (flow 
rate, total organic HAP concentration, and TRE index value) for each HON 
stream, or combination of HON streams, at a representative point as near 
as practical to, but before, the point at which it is combined with one 
or more non-HON streams.
    (2) If one or more of the HON streams, or combinations of HON 
streams, has the characteristics (determined at the location specified 
in paragraph (f)(1) of this section) associated

[[Page 251]]

with a Group 1 process vent, the combined vent stream is a Group 1 
process vent. Except as specified in paragraph (f)(3) of this section, 
if none of the HON streams, or combinations of HON streams, when 
determined at the location specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this 
section, has the characteristics associated with a Group 1 process vent, 
the combined vent stream is a Group 2 process vent regardless of the TRE 
index value determined at the location specified in Sec.  63.115(a). If 
the combined vent stream is a Group 2 process vent as determined by the 
previous sentence, but one or more of the HON streams, or combinations 
of HON streams, has a TRE index value greater than 1 but less than or 
equal to 4, the combined vent stream is a process vent with a TRE index 
value greater than 1 but less than or equal to 4. In this case, the 
owner or operator shall monitor the combined vent stream as required by 
Sec.  63.114(b).
    (3) Paragraphs (f)(1) and (2) of this section are not intended to 
apply instead of any other subpart of this part. If another subpart of 
this part applies to one or more of the non-HON streams contributing to 
the combined vent stream, that subpart may impose emission control 
requirements such as, but not limited to, requiring the combined vent 
stream to be classified and controlled as a Group 1 process vent.

    (i) Seal gaps, if any, shall be measured at one or more floating 
roof levels when the roof is not resting on the roof leg supports.
    (ii) Seal gaps, if any, shall be measured around the entire 
circumference of the vessel in each place where an 0.32 centimeter (\1/
8\ inch) diameter uniform probe passes freely (without forcing or 
binding against the seal) between the seal and the wall of the storage 
vessel. The circumferential distance of each such location shall also be 
measured.
    (iii) The total surface area of each gap described in paragraph 
(b)(2)(ii) of this section shall be determined by using probes of 
various widths to measure accurately the actual distance from the vessel 
wall to the seal and multiplying each such width by its respective 
circumferential distance.

location for the primary seal and divide the sum by the nominal diameter 
of the vessel. The accumulated area of gaps between the vessel wall and 
the primary seal shall not exceed 212 square centimeters per meter of 
vessel diameter and the width of any portion of any gap shall not exceed 
3.81 centimeters.
    (4) The owner or operator shall add the gap surface area of each gap 
location for the secondary seal and divide the sum by the nominal 
diameter of the vessel. The accumulated area of gaps between the vessel 
wall and the secondary seal shall not exceed 21.2 square centimeters per 
meter of vessel diameter and the width of any portion of any gap shall 
not exceed 1.27 centimeters. These seal gap requirements may be exceeded

specified in paragraphs (b)(6)(i) and (b)(6)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The secondary seal shall be installed above the primary seal so 
that it completely covers the space between the roof edge and the vessel 
wall except as provided in paragraph (b)(4) of this section.
    (ii) There shall be no holes, tears, or other openings in the seal 
or seal fabric.
    (7) If the owner or operator determines that it is unsafe to perform 
the seal gap measurements required in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of 
this section or to inspect the vessel to determine compliance with 
paragraphs (b)(5) and (b)(6) of this section because the floating roof 
appears to be structurally unsound and poses an imminent or potential 
danger to inspecting personnel, the owner or operator shall comply with 
the requirements in either paragraph (b)(7)(i) or (b)(7)(ii) of this 
section.
    (i) The owner or operator shall measure the seal gaps or inspect the

Sec.  63.138  Process wastewater provisions--performance standards for
treatment processes managing Group 1 wastewater streams and/or residuals 
removed from Group 1 wastewater streams.

    (a) General requirements. This section specifies the performance 
standards for treating Group 1 wastewater streams. The owner or operator 
shall comply with the requirements as specified in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (a)(6) of this section. Where multiple compliance options are 
provided, the options may be used in combination for different 
wastewater streams and/or for different compounds (e.g., Table 8 versus 
Table 9 compounds) in the same wastewater streams, except where 
otherwise provided in this section. Once a Group 1 wastewater stream or 
residual removed from a Group 1 wastewater stream has been treated in 
accordance with this subpart, it is no longer subject to the 
requirements of this subpart.
    (1) Existing source. If the wastewater stream, at an existing 
source, is Group 1 for Table 9 compounds, comply with Sec.  63.138(b).
    (2) New source. If the wastewater stream, at a new source, is Group 
1 for Table 8 compounds, comply with Sec.  63.138(c). If the wastewater 
stream, at a new source, is Group 1 for Table 9 compounds, comply with 
Sec.  63.138(b). If the wastewater stream, at a new source, is Group 1 
for Table 8 and Table 9 compounds, comply with both Sec.  63.138(b) and 
Sec.  63.138(c).

    Note to paragraph (a)(2): The requirements for Table 8 and/or Table 
9 compounds are similar and often identical.

    (3) Biological treatment processes. Biological treatment processes 
in compliance with this section may be either open or closed biological 
treatment processes as defined in Sec.  63.111. An open biological 
treatment process in compliance with this section need not be covered 
and vented to a control device as required in Sec.  63.133 through Sec.  
63.137 of this subpart. An open or a closed biological treatment process 
in compliance with this section and using Sec.  63.145(f) or Sec.  
63.145(g) of this subpart to demonstrate compliance is not subject to 
the requirements of Sec.  63.133 through Sec.  63.137 of this subpart. A 
closed biological treatment process in compliance with this section and 
using Sec.  63.145(e) of this subpart to demonstrate compliance shall 
comply with the requirements of Sec.  63.133 through Sec.  63.137 of 
this subpart. Waste management units upstream of an open or closed 
biological treatment process shall meet the requirements of Sec.  63.133 
through Sec.  63.137 of this subpart, as applicable.
    (4) Performance tests and design evaluations. If design steam 
stripper option (Sec.  63.138(d)) or Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA) option (Sec.  63.138(h)) is selected to comply with this 
section, neither a design evaluation nor a performance test is required. 
For any other non-biological treatment process, and for closed 
biological treatment processes as defined in Sec.  63.111 of this 
subpart, the owner or operator shall conduct either a design evaluation 
as specified in Sec.  63.138(j), or a performance test as specified in 
Sec.  63.145, of this subpart. For each open biological treatment 
process as defined in Sec.  63.111 of this subpart, the owner or 
operator shall conduct a performance test as specified in Sec.  63.145 
of this subpart.

    Note to paragraph (a)(4): Some open biological treatment processes 
may not require a performance test. Refer to Sec.  63.145(h) and table 
36 of this subpart to determine whether the biological treatment process 
meets the criteria that exempt the owner or operator from conducting a 
performance test.

    (5) Control device requirements. When gases are vented from the 
treatment process, the owner or operator shall

[[Page 299]]

comply with the applicable control device requirements specified in 
Sec.  63.139 and Sec.  63.145 (i) and (j), and the applicable leak 
inspection provisions specified in Sec.  63.148, of this subpart. This 
requirement does not apply to any open biological treatment process that 
meets the mass removal requirements. Vents from anaerobic biological 
treatment processes may be routed through hard-piping to a fuel gas 
system.
    (6) Residuals: general. When residuals result from treating Group 1 
wastewater streams, the owner or operator shall comply with the 
requirements for residuals specified in Sec.  63.138(k) of this subpart.
    (7) Treatment using a series of treatment processes. In all cases 
where the wastewater provisions in this subpart allow or require the use 
of a treatment process or control device to comply with emissions 
limitations, the owner or operator may use multiple treatment processes 
or control devices, respectively. For combinations of treatment 
processes where the wastewater stream is conveyed by hard-piping, the 
owner or operator shall comply with either the requirements of paragraph 
(a)(7)(i) or (a)(7)(ii) of this section. For combinations of treatment 
processes where the wastewater stream is not conveyed by hard-piping, 
the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of paragraph 
(a)(7)(ii) of this section. For combinations of control devices, the 
owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of paragraph 
(a)(7)(i) of this section.
    (i)(A) For combinations of treatment processes, the wastewater 
stream shall be conveyed by hard-piping between the treatment processes. 
For combinations of control devices, the vented gas stream shall be 
conveyed by hard-piping between the control devices.
    (B) For combinations of treatment processes, each treatment process 
shall meet the applicable requirements of Sec.  63.133 through Sec.  
63.137 of this subpart except as provided in paragraph (a)(3) of this 
section.
    (C) The owner or operator shall identify, and keep a record of, the 
combination of treatment processes or of control devices, including 
identification of the first and last treatment process or control 
device. The owner or operator shall include this information as part of 
the treatment process description reported in the Notification of 
Compliance Status.
    (D) The performance test or design evaluation shall determine 
compliance across the combination of treatment processes or control 
devices. If a performance test is conducted, the ``inlet'' shall be the 
point at which the wastewater stream or residual enters the first 
treatment process, or the vented gas stream enters the first control 
device. The ``outlet'' shall be the point at which the treated 
wastewater stream exits the last treatment process, or the vented gas 
stream exits the last control device.
    (ii)(A) For combinations of treatment processes, each treatment 
process shall meet the applicable requirements of Sec.  63.133 through 
Sec.  63.137 of this subpart except as provided in paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section.
    (B) The owner or operator shall identify, and keep a record of, the 
combination of treatment processes, including identification of the 
first and last treatment process. The owner or operator shall include 
this information as part of the treatment process description reported 
in the Notification of Compliance Status.
    (C) The owner or operator shall determine the mass removed or 
destroyed by each treatment process. The performance test or design 
evaluation shall determine compliance for the combination of treatment 
processes by adding together the mass removed or destroyed by each 
treatment process.
    (b) Control options: Group 1 wastewater streams for Table 9 
compounds. The owner or operator shall comply with either paragraph 
(b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section for the control of Table 9 compounds at 
new or existing sources.
    (1) 50 ppmw concentration option. The owner or operator shall comply 
with paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and (b)(1)(ii) of this section.

stream, as determined by procedures specified in Sec.  63.144(c), times 
the total annual average concentration of Table 8 and/or Table 9 
compounds, as determined by procedures specified in Sec.  63.144(b). 
(The mass flow rate of compounds in a wastewater stream that are Group 1 
for both Table 8 and Table 9 compounds should be included in the annual 
average mass flow rate only once.) When determining the total source 
mass flow rate for the purposes of paragraph (i)(2)(i)(B) of this 
section, the concentration and flow rate shall be determined at the 
location specified in paragraph (i)(2)(i)(B) of this section and not at 
the location specified in Sec.  63.144(b) and (c).
    (A) For each untreated Group 1 wastewater stream, the annual average 
flow rate and the total annual average concentration shall be determined 
for that stream's point of determination.
    (B) For each Group 1 wastewater stream that is treated to levels 
less stringent than those required by paragraph (b) or (c) of this 
section, the annual average flow rate and total annual average 
concentration shall be determined at the discharge from the treatment 
process or series of treatment processes.
    (C) The annual average mass flow rate for Group 1 wastewater streams 
treated to the levels required by paragraph (b) or (c) of this section 
is not included in the calculation of the total source mass flow rate.
    (ii) The total source mass flow rate shall be calculated by summing 
the annual average mass flow rates from all Group 1 wastewater streams, 
except those excluded by paragraph (i)(2)(i)(C) of this section.
    (iii) The owner or operator of each waste management unit that 
receives, manages, or treats a partially treated wastewater stream prior 
to or during treatment shall comply with the requirements of Sec. Sec.  
63.133 through 63.137, as applicable. For a partially treated wastewater 
stream that is stored, conveyed, treated, or managed in a waste

[[Page 303]]

management unit meeting the requirements of Sec. Sec.  63.133 through 
63.137, the owner or operator shall follow the procedures in paragraph 
(i)(2)(i)(B) of this section to calculate mass flow rate. A wastewater 
stream, either untreated or partially treated, where the mass flow rate 
has been calculated following the procedures in paragraph (i)(2)(i)(A) 
of this section, is exempt from the requirements of Sec. Sec.  63.133 
through 63.137.
    (3) Wastewater streams included in this option shall be identified 
in the Notification of Compliance Status required by Sec.  63.152(b).
    (j) Design evaluations or performance tests for treatment processes. 
Except as provided in paragraph (j)(3) or (h) of this section, the owner 
or operator shall demonstrate by the procedures in either paragraph 
(j)(1) or (j)(2) of this section that each nonbiological treatment 
process used to comply with paragraphs (b)(1), (c)(1), (e), and/or (f) 
of this section achieves the conditions specified for compliance. The 
owner or operator shall demonstrate by the procedures in either 
paragraph (j)(1) or (j)(2) of this section that each closed biological 
treatment process used to comply with paragraphs (f) or (g) of this 
section achieves the conditions specified for compliance. If an open 
biological treatment unit is used to comply with paragraph (f) or (g) of 
this section, the owner or operator shall comply with Sec.  63.145(f) or 
Sec.  63.145(g), respectively, of this subpart. Some biological 
treatment processes may not require a performance test. Refer to Sec.  
63.145(h) and table 36 of this subpart to determine whether the open 
biological treatment process meets the criteria that exempt the owner or 
operator from conducting a performance test.
    (1) A design evaluation and supporting documentation that addresses 
the operating characteristics of the treatment process and that is based 
on operation at a representative wastewater stream flow rate and a 
concentration under which it would be most difficult to demonstrate 
compliance. For closed biological treatment processes, the actual mass 
removal shall be determined by a mass balance over the unit. The mass 
flow rate of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds exiting the treatment process 
shall be the sum of the mass flow rate of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds 
in the wastewater stream exiting the biological treatment process and 
the mass flow rate of the vented gas stream exiting the control device. 
The mass flow rate entering the treatment process minus the mass flow 
rate exiting the process determines the actual mass removal.
    (2) Performance tests conducted using test methods and procedures 
that meet the applicable requirements specified in Sec.  63.145 of this 
subpart.
    (3) The provisions of paragraphs (j)(1) and (j)(2) of this section 
do not apply to design stream strippers which meet the requirements of 
paragraph (d) of this section.
    (k) Residuals. For each residual removed from a Group 1 wastewater 
stream, the owner or operator shall control for air emissions by 
complying with Sec. Sec.  63.133-137 of this subpart and by complying 
with one of the provisions in paragraphs (k)(1) through (k)(4) of this 
section.
    (1) Recycle the residual to a production process or sell the 
residual for the purpose of recycling. Once a residual is returned to a 
production process, the residual is no longer subject to this section.
    (2) Return the residual to the treatment process.
    (3) Treat the residual to destroy the total combined mass flow rate 
of Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds by 99 percent or more, as determined 
by the procedures specified in Sec.  63.145(c) or (d) of this subpart.
    (4) Comply with the requirements for RCRA treatment options 
specified in Sec.  63.138(h) of this subpart.

compound concentration level and will include the additional information 
in paragraphs (d)(2)(vii)(A) and (d)(2)(vii)(B) of this section for 
trays and a packed column scrubber.
    (A) Type and total number of theoretical and actual trays;
    (B) Type and total surface area of packing for entire column, and

[62 FR 2762, Jan. 17, 1997]



Sec.  63.144  Process wastewater provisions--test methods and procedures 
for determining applicability and Group 1/Group 2 determinations 
(determining which wastewater streams require control).

    (a) Procedures to determine applicability. An owner or operator 
shall comply with paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section for each 
wastewater stream to determine which wastewater streams require control 
for Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds. The owner or operator may use a 
combination of the approaches in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this 
section for different wastewater streams generated at the source.
    (1) Determine Group 1 or Group 2 status. Determine whether a 
wastewater stream is a Group 1 or Group 2 wastewater stream in 
accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
    (2) Designate as Group 1. An owner or operator may designate as a 
Group 1 wastewater stream a single wastewater stream or a mixture of 
wastewater streams. The owner or operator is not required to determine 
the concentration or flow rate for each designated Group 1 wastewater 
stream for the purposes of this section.
    (b) Procedures to establish concentrations, when determining Group 
status under paragraph (a)(1) of this section. An owner or operator who 
elects to comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section shall determine the annual average concentration for

[[Page 308]]

Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds according to paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section for existing sources or paragraph (b)(2) of this section for new 
sources. The annual average concentration shall be a flow weighted 
average representative of actual or anticipated operation of the 
chemical manufacturing process unit generating the wastewater over a 
designated 12 month period. For flexible operation units, the owner or 
operator shall consider the anticipated production over the designated 
12 month period and include all wastewater streams generated by the 
process equipment during this period. The owner/operator is not required 
to determine the concentration of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds that are 
not reasonably expected to be in the process.
    (1) Existing sources. An owner or operator of an existing source who 
elects to comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section shall determine the flow weighted total annual average 
concentration for Table 9 compounds. For the purposes of this section, 
the term concentration, whether concentration is used alone or with 
other terms, may be adjusted by multiplying by the compound-specific 
fraction measured (Fm) factors listed in table 34 of this subpart unless 
determined by the methods in Sec.  63.144(b)(5)(i)(A) and/or (B). When 
concentration is determined by Method 305 as specified in Sec.  
63.144(b)(5)(i)(B), concentration may be adjusted by dividing by the 
compound-specific Fm factors listed in table 34 of this subpart. When 
concentration is determined by Method 25D as specified in Sec.  
63.144(b)(5)(i)(A), concentration may not be adjusted by the compound-
specific Fm factors listed in table 34 of this subpart. Compound-
specific Fm factors may be used only when concentrations of individual 
compounds are determined or when only one compound is in the wastewater 
stream. Flow weighted total annual average concentration for Table 9 
compounds means the total mass of Table 9 compounds occurring in the 
wastewater stream during the designated 12-month period divided by the 
total mass of the wastewater stream during the same designated 12-month 
period. The total annual average concentration shall be determined for 
each wastewater stream either at the point of determination, or 
downstream of the point of determination with adjustment for 
concentration changes made according to paragraph (b)(6) of this 
section. The procedures specified in paragraphs (b)(3), (b)(4), and 
(b)(5) of this section are considered acceptable procedures for 
determining the annual average concentration. They may be used in 
combination, and no one procedure shall take precedence over another.
    (2) New sources. An owner or operator of a new source who elects to 
comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section shall 
determine both the flow weighted total annual average concentration for 
Table 9 compounds and the flow weighted annual average concentration for 
each Table 8 compound. For the purposes of this section, the term 
concentration, whether concentration is used alone or with other terms, 
may be adjusted by multiplying by the compound-specific Fm factors 
listed in table 34 of this subpart unless determined by the methods in 
Sec.  63.144(b)(5)(i)(A) and/or (B). When concentration is determined by 
Method 305 as specified in Sec.  63.144(b)(5)(i)(B), concentration may 
be adjusted by dividing by the compound-specific Fm factors listed in 
table 34 of this subpart. When concentration is determined by Method 25D 
as specified in Sec.  63.144(b)(5)(i)(A), concentration may not be 
adjusted by the compound-specific Fm factors listed in table 34 of this 
subpart. Compound-specific fraction measured factors are compound 
specific and shall be used only when concentration of individual 
compounds are determined or when only one compound is in the wastewater 
stream. The flow weighted annual average concentration of each Table 8 
compound means the mass of each Table 8 compound occurring in the 
wastewater stream during the designated 12-month period divided by the 
total mass of the wastewater stream during the same designated 12-month 
period. Flow weighted total annual average concentration for Table 9 
compounds means the total mass of Table 9 compounds occurring in the 
wastewater stream during the designated 12-month period divided by the 
total mass of the wastewater stream during the

[[Page 309]]

same designated 12-month period. The annual average concentration shall 
be determined for each wastewater stream either at the point of 
determination, or downstream of the point of determination with 
adjustment for concentration changes made according to paragraph (b)(6) 
of this section. Procedures specified in paragraphs (b)(3), (b)(4), and 
(b)(5) of this section are considered acceptable procedures for 
determining the annual average concentration. They may be used in 
combination, and no one procedure shall take precedence over another.
    (3) Knowledge of the wastewater. Where knowledge is used to 
determine the annual average concentration, the owner or operator shall 
provide sufficient information to document the annual average 
concentration for wastewater streams determined to be Group 2 wastewater 
streams. Documentation to determine the annual average concentration is 
not required for Group 1 streams. Examples of acceptable documentation 
include material balances, records of chemical purchases, process 
stoichiometry, or previous test results. If test data are used, the 
owner or operator shall provide documentation describing the testing 
protocol and the means by which any losses of volatile compounds during 
sampling, and the bias and accuracy of the analytical method, were 
accounted for in the determination.
    (4) Bench-scale or pilot-scale test data. Where bench-scale or 
pilot-scale test data are used to determine the annual average 
concentration, the owner or operator shall provide sufficient 
information to document that the data are representative of the actual 
annual average concentration, or are reliably indicative of another 
relevant characteristic of the wastewater stream that could be used to 
predict the annual average concentration. For concentration data, the 
owner or operator shall also provide documentation describing the 
testing protocol, and the means by which any losses of volatile 
compounds during sampling, and the bias and accuracy of the analytical 
method, were accounted for in the determination of annual average 
concentration.
    (5) Test data from sampling at the point of determination or at a 
location downstream of the point of determination. Where an owner or 
operator elects to comply with paragraph (a)(1) of this section by 
measuring the concentration for the relevant Table 8 or Table 9 
compounds, the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of 
this paragraph. For each wastewater stream, measurements shall be made 
either at the point of determination, or downstream of the point of 
determination with adjustment for concentration changes made according 
to paragraph (b)(6) of this section. A minimum of three samples from 
each wastewater stream shall be taken. Samples may be grab samples or 
composite samples.
    (i) Methods. The owner or operator shall use any of the methods 
specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(A) through (b)(5)(i)(F) of this 
section.
    (A) Method 25D. Use procedures specified in Method 25D of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A.
    (B) Method 305. Use procedures specified in Method 305 of 40 CFR 
part 63, appendix A.
    (C) Methods 624 and 625. Use procedures specified in Methods 624 and 
625 of 40 CFR part 136, appendix A and comply with the sampling protocol 
requirements specified in paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this section. If these 
methods are used to analyze one or more compounds that are not on the 
method's published list of approved compounds, the Alternative Test 
Procedure specified in 40 CFR 136.4 and 136.5 shall be followed. For 
Method 625, make corrections to the compounds for which the analysis is 
being conducted based on the accuracy as recovery factors in Table 7 of 
the method.
    (D) Method 1624 and Method 1625. Use procedures specified in Method 
1624 and Method 1625 of 40 CFR part 136, appendix A and comply with the 
requirements specified in paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this section. If these 
methods are used to analyze one or more compounds that are not on the 
method's published list of approved compounds, the Alternative Test 
Procedure specified in 40 CFR 136.4 and 136.5 shall be followed.
    (E) Other EPA method(s). Use procedures specified in the method and 
comply with the requirements specified in

[[Page 310]]

paragraphs (b)(5)(ii) and either paragraph (b)(5)(iii)(A) or 
(b)(5)(iii)(B) of this section.
    (F) Method(s) other than EPA method. Use procedures specified in the 
method and comply with the requirements specified in paragraphs 
(b)(5)(ii) and (b)(5)(iii)(A) of this section.
    (G) Method 8260B. Use procedures specified in Method 8260B in the 
SW-846 Compendium of Methods.
    (H) Method 316. Use Method 316 to determine formaldehyde 
concentration.
    (ii) Sampling plan. The owner or operator who is expressly referred 
to this paragraph by provisions of this subpart shall prepare a sampling 
plan. Wastewater samples shall be collected using sampling procedures 
which minimize loss of organic compounds during sample collection and 
analysis and maintain sample integrity. The sample plan shall include 
procedures for determining recovery efficiency of the relevant hazardous 
air pollutants listed in table 8 or table 9 of this subpart. An example 
of an acceptable sampling plan would be one that incorporates similar 
sampling and sample handling requirements to those of Method 25D of 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A. The sampling plan shall be maintained at the 
facility.
    (iii) Validation of methods. The owner or operator shall validate 
EPA methods other than Methods 25D, 305, 624, 625, 1624, and 1625 using 
the procedures specified in paragraph (b)(5)(iii)(A) or (b)(5)(iii)(B) 
of this section. The owner or operator shall validate other methods as 
specified in paragraph (b)(5)(iii)(A) of this section.
    (A) Validation of EPA methods and other methods. The method used to 
measure organic hazardous air pollutants concentrations in the 
wastewater shall be validated according to section 5.1 or 5.3, and the 
corresponding calculations in section 6.1 or 6.3, of Method 301 of 
appendix A of this part. The data are acceptable if they meet the 
criteria specified in section 6.1.5 or 6.3.3 of Method 301 of appendix A 
of this part. If correction is required under section 6.3.3 of Method 
301 of appendix A of this part, the data are acceptable if the 
correction factor is within the range 0.7 to 1.30. Other sections of 
Method 301 of appendix A of this part are not required. The 
concentrations of the individual organic hazardous air pollutants 
measured in the water may be corrected to their concentrations had they 
been measured by Method 305 of appendix A of this part, by multiplying 
each concentration by the compound-specific fraction measured (Fm) 
factor listed in table 34 of this subpart.
    (B) Validation for EPA methods. Follow the procedures as specified 
in ``Alternative Validation Procedure for EPA Waste Methods'' 40 CFR 
part 63, appendix D.
    (iv) Calculations of average concentration. The average 
concentration for each individually speciated Table 8 compound shall be 
calculated by adding the individual values determined for the specific 
compound in each sample and dividing by the number of samples. The total 
average concentration of Table 9 compounds shall be calculated by first 
summing the concentration of the individual compounds to obtain a total 
hazardous air pollutants concentration for the sample; add the sample 
totals and then divide by the number of samples in the run to obtain the 
sample average for the run. If the method used does not speciate the 
compounds, the sample results should be added and this total divided by 
the number of samples in the run to obtain the sample average for the 
run.
    (6) Adjustment for concentrations determined downstream of the point 
of determination. The owner or operator shall make corrections to the 
annual average concentration or total annual average concentration when 
the concentration is determined downstream of the point of determination 
at a location where: two or more wastewater streams have been mixed; one 
or more wastewater streams have been treated; or, losses to the 
atmosphere have occurred. The owner or operator shall make the 
adjustments either to the individual data points or to the final annual 
average concentration.
    (c) Procedures to determine flow rate, when evaluating Group status 
under paragraph (a)(1) of this section. An owner or operator who elects 
to comply with paragraph (a)(1) of this section shall determine the 
annual average flow rate of the wastewater stream either at the point of 
determination for

[[Page 311]]

each wastewater stream, or downstream of the point of determination with 
adjustment for flow rate changes made according to paragraph (c)(4) of 
this section. These procedures may be used in combination for different 
wastewater streams at the source. The annual average flow rate for the 
wastewater stream shall be representative of actual or anticipated 
operation of the chemical manufacturing process unit generating the 
wastewater over a designated 12-month period. The owner or operator 
shall consider the total annual wastewater volume generated by the 
chemical manufacturing process unit. If the chemical manufacturing 
process unit is a flexible operation unit, the owner or operator shall 
consider all anticipated production in the process equipment over the 
designated 12-month period. The procedures specified in paragraphs 
(c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this section are considered acceptable 
procedures for determining the flow rate. They may be used in 
combination, and no one procedure shall take precedence over another.
    (1) Knowledge of the wastewater. The owner or operator may use 
knowledge of the wastewater stream and/or the process to determine the 
annual average flow rate. The owner or operator shall use the maximum 
expected annual average production capacity of the process unit, 
knowledge of the process, and/or mass balance information to either: 
Estimate directly the annual average wastewater flow rate; or estimate 
the total annual wastewater volume and then divide total volume by 
525,600 minutes in a year. Where knowledge is used to determine the 
annual average flow rate, the owner or operator shall provide sufficient 
information to document the flow rate for wastewater streams determined 
to be Group 2 wastewater streams. Documentation to determine the annual 
average flow rate is not required for Group 1 streams.
    (2) Historical records. The owner or operator may use historical 
records to determine the annual average flow rate. Derive the highest 
annual average flow rate of wastewater from historical records 
representing the most recent 5 years of operation or, if the process 
unit has been in service for less than 5 years but at least 1 year, from 
historical records representing the total operating life of the process 
unit. Where historical records are used to determine the annual average 
flow rate, the owner or operator shall provide sufficient information to 
document the flow rate for wastewater streams determined to be Group 2 
wastewater streams. Documentation to determine the annual average flow 
rate is not required for Group 1 streams.
    (3) Measurements of flow rate. Where an owner or operator elects to 
comply with paragraph (a)(1) of this section by measuring the flow rate, 
the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of this 
paragraph. Measurements shall be made at the point of determination, or 
at a location downstream of the point of determination with adjustments 
for flow rate changes made according to paragraph (c)(4) of this 
section. Where measurement data are used to determine the annual average 
flow rate, the owner or operator shall provide sufficient information to 
document the flow rate for wastewater streams determined to be Group 2 
wastewater streams. Documentation to determine the annual average flow 
rate is not required for Group 1 streams.
    (4) Adjustment for flow rates determined downstream of the point of 
determination. The owner or operator shall make corrections to the 
annual average flow rate of a wastewater stream when it is determined 
downstream of the point of determination at a location where two or more 
wastewater streams have been mixed or one or more wastewater streams 
have been treated. The owner or operator shall make corrections for such 
changes in the annual average flow rate.

Sec.  63.145  Process wastewater provisions--test methods and procedures
to determine compliance.

    (a) General. This section specifies the procedures for performance 
tests that are conducted to demonstrate compliance of a treatment 
process or a control device with the control requirements specified in 
Sec.  63.138 of this subpart. Owners or operators conducting a design 
evaluation shall comply with

[[Page 312]]

the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section. Owners 
or operators conducting a performance test shall comply with the 
applicable requirements in paragraphs (a) through (i) of this section.
    (1) Performance tests and design evaluations for treatment 
processes. If design steam stripper option (Sec.  63.138(d)) or RCRA 
option (Sec.  63.138(h)) is selected to comply with Sec.  63.138, 
neither a design evaluation nor a performance test is required. For any 
other non-biological treatment process, the owner or operator shall 
conduct either a design evaluation as specified in Sec.  63.138(j), or a 
performance test as specified in this section. For closed biological 
treatment processes, the owner or operator shall conduct either a design 
evaluation as specified in Sec.  63.138(j), or a performance test as 
specified in this section. For each open biological treatment process, 
the owner or operator shall conduct a performance test as specified in 
this section.

    Note: Some open biological treatment processes may not require a 
performance test. Refer to Sec.  63.145(h) and table 36 of this subpart 
to determine whether the biological treatment process meets the criteria 
that exempt the owner or operator from conducting a performance test.

    (2) Performance tests and design evaluations for control devices. 
The owner or operator shall conduct either a design evaluation as 
specified in Sec.  63.139(d), or a performance test as specified in 
paragraph (i) of this section for control devices other than flares and 
paragraph (j) of this section for flares.
    (3) Representative process unit operating conditions. Compliance 
shall be demonstrated for representative operating conditions. 
Operations during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction and 
periods of nonoperation shall not constitute representative conditions. 
The owner or operator shall record the process information that is 
necessary to document operating conditions during the test.
    (4) Representative treatment process or control device operating 
conditions. Performance tests shall be conducted when the treatment 
process or control device is operating at a representative inlet flow 
rate and concentration. If the treatment process or control device will 
be operating at several different sets of representative operating 
conditions, the owner or operator shall comply with paragraphs (a)(4)(i) 
and (a)(4)(ii) of this section. The owner or operator shall record 
information that is necessary to document treatment process or control 
device operating conditions during the test.
    (i) Range of operating conditions. If the treatment process or 
control device will be operated at several different sets of 
representative operating conditions, performance testing over the entire 
range is not required. In such cases, the performance test results shall 
be supplemented with modeling and/or engineering assessments to 
demonstrate performance over the operating range.
    (ii) Consideration of residence time. If concentration and/or flow 
rate to the treatment process or control device are not relatively 
constant (i.e., comparison of inlet and outlet data will not be 
representative of performance), the owner or operator shall consider 
residence time, when determining concentration and flow rate.
    (5) Testing equipment. All testing equipment shall be prepared and 
installed as specified in the applicable test methods, or as approved by 
the Administrator.
    (6) Compounds not required to be considered in performance tests or 
design evaluations. Compounds that meet the requirements specified in 
paragraph (a)(6)(i), (a)(6)(ii), or (a)(6)(iii) of this section are not 
required to be included in the performance test. Concentration 
measurements based on Method 305 shall be adjusted by dividing each 
concentration by the compound-specific Fm factor listed in table 34 of 
this subpart. Concentration measurements based on methods other than 
Method 305 shall not be adjusted by the compound-specific Fm factor 
listed in table 34 of this subpart.
    (i) Compounds not used or produced by the chemical manufacturing 
process unit; or
    (ii) Compounds with concentrations at the point of determination 
that are below 1 part per million by weight; or
    (iii) Compounds with concentrations at the point of determination 
that are below the lower detection limit where

[[Page 313]]

the lower detection limit is greater than 1 part per million by weight. 
The method shall be an analytical method for wastewater which has that 
compound as a target analyte.
    (7) Treatment using a series of treatment processes. In all cases 
where the wastewater provisions in this subpart allow or require the use 
of a treatment process to comply with emissions limitations, the owner 
or operator may use multiple treatment processes. The owner or operator 
complying with the requirements of Sec.  63.138(a)(7)(i), when 
wastewater is conveyed by hard-piping, shall comply with either 
Sec. Sec.  63.145(a)(7)(i) or 63.145(a)(7)(ii) of this subpart. The 
owner or operator complying with the requirements of Sec.  
63.138(a)(7)(ii) of this subpart shall comply with the requirements of 
Sec.  63.145(a)(7)(ii) of this subpart.
    (i) The owner or operator shall conduct the performance test across 
each series of treatment processes. For each series of treatment 
processes, inlet concentration and flow rate shall be measured either 
where the wastewater stream enters the first treatment process in a 
series of treatment processes, or prior to the first treatment process 
as specified in Sec.  63.145(a)(9) of this subpart. For each series of 
treatment processes, outlet concentration and flow rate shall be 
measured where the wastewater stream exits the last treatment process in 
the series of treatment processes, except when the last treatment 
process is an open or a closed aerobic biological treatment process 
demonstrating compliance by using the procedures in Sec.  63.145 (f) or 
(g) of this subpart. When the last treatment process is either an open 
or a closed aerobic biological treatment process demonstrating 
compliance by using the procedures in Sec.  63.145 (f) or (g) of this 
subpart, inlet and outlet concentrations and flow rates shall be 
measured as provided in paragraphs (a)(7)(i)(A) and (a)(7)(i)(B) of this 
section. The mass flow rates removed or destroyed by the series of 
treatment processes and by the biological treatment process are all used 
to calculate actual mass removal (AMR) as specified in Sec.  
63.145(f)(5)(ii) of this subpart.
    (A) The inlet and outlet to the series of treatment processes prior 
to the biological treatment process are the points at which the 
wastewater enters the first treatment process and exits the last 
treatment process in the series, respectively, except as provided in 
paragraph (a)(9)(ii) of this section.
    (B) The inlet to the biological treatment process shall be the point 
at which the wastewater enters the biological treatment process or the 
outlet from the series of treatment processes identified in paragraph 
(a)(7)(i)(A) of this section, except as provided in paragraph (a)(9)(ii) 
of this section.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall conduct the performance test across 
each treatment process in the series of treatment processes. The mass 
flow rate removed or destroyed by each treatment process shall be added 
together to determine whether compliance has been demonstrated using 
Sec.  63.145 (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g), as applicable. If a biological 
treatment process is one of the treatment processes in the series of 
treatment processes, the inlet to the biological treatment process shall 
be the point at which the wastewater enters the biological treatment 
process, or the inlet to the equalization tank if all the criteria of 
paragraph (a)(9)(ii) of this section are met.
    (8) When using a biological treatment process to comply with Sec.  
63.138 of this subpart, the owner or operator may elect to calculate the 
AMR using a subset of Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds determined at the 
point of determination or downstream of the point of determination with 
adjustment for concentration and flowrate changes made according to 
Sec.  63.144(b)(6) and Sec.  63.144(c)(4) of this subpart, respectively. 
All Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds measured to determine the RMR, 
except as provided by Sec.  63.145(a)(6), shall be included in the RMR 
calculation.
    (9) The owner or operator determining the inlet for purposes of 
demonstrating compliance with Sec.  63.145 (e), (f), or (g) of this 
subpart may elect to comply with paragraph (a)(9)(i) or (a)(9)(ii) of 
this section.
    (i) When wastewater is conveyed exclusively by hard-piping from the 
point of determination to a treatment process that is either the only 
treatment

[[Page 314]]

process or the first in a series of treatment processes (i.e., no 
treatment processes or other waste management units are used upstream of 
this treatment process to store, handle, or convey the wastewater), the 
inlet to the treatment process shall be at any location from the point 
of determination to where the wastewater stream enters the treatment 
process. When samples are taken upstream of the treatment process and 
before wastewater streams have converged, the owner or operator shall 
ensure that the mass flow rate of all Group 1 wastewater streams is 
accounted for when using Sec.  63.138 (e) or (f) to comply and that the 
mass flow rate of all Group 1 and Group 2 wastewater streams is 
accounted for when using Sec.  63.138(g) to comply, except as provided 
in Sec.  63.145(a)(6).
    (ii) The owner or operator may consider the inlet to the 
equalization tank as the inlet to the biological treatment process if 
all the criteria in paragraphs (a)(9)(ii)(A) through (a)(9)(ii)(C) of 
this section are met. The outlet from the series of treatment processes 
prior to the biological treatment process is the point at which the 
wastewater exits the last treatment process in the series prior to the 
equalization tank, if the equalization tank and biological treatment 
process are part of a series of treatment processes. The owner or 
operator shall ensure that the mass flow rate of all Group 1 wastewater 
streams is accounted for when using Sec.  63.138 (e) or (f) to comply 
and that the mass flow rate of all Group 1 and Group 2 wastewater 
streams is accounted for when using Sec.  63.138(g) to comply, except as 
provided in Sec.  63.145(a)(6).
    (A) The wastewater is conveyed by hard-piping from either the last 
previous treatment process or the point of determination to the 
equalization tank.
    (B) The wastewater is conveyed from the equalization tank 
exclusively by hard-piping to the biological treatment process and no 
treatment processes or other waste management units are used to store, 
handle, or convey the wastewater between the equalization tank and the 
biological treatment process.
    (C) The equalization tank is equipped with a fixed roof and a closed 
vent system that routes emissions to a control device that meets the 
requirements of Sec.  63.133(a)(2)(i) and Sec.  63.133 (b)(1) through 
(b)(4) of this subpart.
    (b) Noncombustion treatment process--concentration limits. This 
paragraph applies to performance tests that are conducted to demonstrate 
compliance of a noncombustion treatment process with the parts per 
million by weight wastewater stream concentration limits at the outlet 
of the treatment process. This compliance option is specified in Sec.  
63.138(b)(1) and Sec.  63.138(c)(1). Wastewater samples shall be 
collected using sampling procedures which minimize loss of organic 
compounds during sample collection and analysis and maintain sample 
integrity per Sec.  63.144(b)(5)(ii). Samples shall be collected and 
analyzed using the procedures specified in Sec.  63.144 (b)(5)(i), 
(b)(5)(ii), and (b)(5)(iii) of this subpart. Samples may be grab samples 
or composite samples. Samples shall be taken at approximately equally 
spaced time intervals over a 1-hour period. Each 1-hour period 
constitutes a run, and the performance test shall consist of a minimum 
of 3 runs. Concentration measurements based on Method 305 may be 
adjusted by dividing each concentration by the compound-specific Fm 
factor listed in Table 34 of this subpart. Concentration measurements 
based on methods other than Method 305 may be adjusted by multiplying 
each concentration by the compound-specific Fm factor listed in table 34 
of this subpart. (For wastewater streams that are Group 1 for both Table 
8 and Table 9 compounds, compliance is demonstrated only if the sum of 
the concentrations of Table 9 compounds is less than 50 ppmw, and the 
concentration of each Table 8 compound is less than 10 ppmw.)
    (c) Noncombustion, nonbiological treatment process: Percent mass 
removal/destruction option. This paragraph applies to performance tests 
that are conducted to demonstrate compliance of a noncombustion, 
nonbiological treatment process with the percent mass removal limits 
specified in Sec.  63.138(e) (1) and (2) for Table 8 and/or Table 9 
compounds. The owner or operator shall comply with the requirements 
specified

[[Page 315]]

in Sec.  63.145 (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this subpart.
    (1) Concentration. The concentration of Table 8 and/or Table 9 
compounds entering and exiting the treatment process shall be determined 
as provided in this paragraph. Wastewater samples shall be collected 
using sampling procedures which minimize loss of organic compounds 
during sample collection and analysis and maintain sample integrity per 
Sec.  63.144(b)(5)(ii). The method shall be an analytical method for 
wastewater which has that compound as a target analyte. Samples may be 
grab samples or composite samples. Samples shall be taken at 
approximately equally spaced time intervals over a 1-hour period. Each 
1-hour period constitutes a run, and the performance test shall consist 
of a minimum of 3 runs. Concentration measurements based on Method 305 
shall be adjusted by dividing each concentration by the compound-
specific Fm factor listed in Table 34 of this subpart. Concentration 
measurements based on methods other than Method 305 shall not adjust by 
the compound-specific Fm factor listed in Table 34 of this subpart.
    (2) Flow rate. The flow rate of the entering and exiting wastewater 
streams shall be determined using inlet and outlet flow measurement 
devices, respectively. Where the outlet flow is not greater than the 
inlet flow, a flow measurement device shall be used, and may be used at 
either the inlet or outlet. Flow rate measurements shall be taken at the 
same time as the concentration measurements.
    (3) Calculation of mass flow rate--for noncombustion, nonbiological 
treatment processes. The mass flow rates of Table 8 and/or Table 9 
compounds entering and exiting the treatment process are calculated as 
follows.

          (QMWb) the treatment process, kilograms per hour

[[Page 316]]

          (as calculated using Equations WW1 and WW2).

    (5) Calculation of flow-weighted average of Fr values. If complying 
with Sec.  63.138(e)(2), use Equation WW8 to calculate the flow-weighted 
average of the Fr values listed in Table 9 of this subpart. When the 
term ``combustion'' is used in Equation WW8, the term ``treatment 
process'' shall be used for the purposes of this paragraph.
    (6) Compare mass removal efficiency to required efficiency. Compare 
the mass removal efficiency (calculated in Equation WW3) to the required 
efficiency as specified in Sec.  63.138(e) of this subpart. If complying 
with Sec.  63.138(e)(1), compliance is demonstrated if the mass removal 
efficiency is 99 percent or greater. If complying with Sec.  
63.138(e)(2), compliance is demonstrated if the mass removal efficiency 
is greater than or equal to the flow-weighted average of the Fr values 
calculated in Equation WW8.
    (d) Combustion treatment processes: percent mass removal/destruction 
option. This paragraph applies to performance tests that are conducted 
to demonstrate compliance of a combustion treatment process with the 
percent mass destruction limits specified in Sec.  63.138(e) (1) and (2) 
for Table 9 compounds, and/or Sec.  63.138(e)(1) for Table 8 compounds. 
The owner or operator shall comply with the requirements specified in 
Sec.  63.145 (d)(1) through (d)(9) of this subpart. (Wastewater streams 
that are Group 1 for both Table 8 and Table 9 compounds need only do the 
compliance demonstration for Table 9 compounds.)
    (1) Concentration in wastewater stream entering the combustion 
treatment process. The concentration of Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds 
entering the treatment process shall be determined as provided in this 
paragraph. Wastewater samples shall be collected using sampling 
procedures which minimize loss of organic compounds during sample 
collection and analysis and maintain sample integrity per Sec.  
63.144(b)(5)(ii). The method shall be an analytical method for 
wastewater which has that compound as a target analyte. Samples may be 
grab samples or composite samples. Samples shall be taken at 
approximately equally spaced time intervals over a 1-hour period. Each 
1-hour period constitutes a run, and the performance test shall consist 
of a minimum of 3 runs. Concentration measurements based on Method 305 
of appendix A of this part shall be adjusted by dividing each 
concentration by the compound-specific Fm factor listed in table 34 of 
this subpart. Concentration measurements based on methods other than 
Method 305 shall not adjust by the compound-specific Fm factor listed in 
table 34 of this subpart.
    (2) Flow rate of wastewater entering the combustion treatment 
process. The flow rate of the wastewater stream entering the combustion 
treatment process shall be determined using an inlet flow meter. Flow 
rate measurements shall be taken at the same time as the concentration 
measurements.
    (3) Calculation of mass flow rate in wastewater stream entering 
combustion treatment processes. The mass flow rate of Table 8 and/or 
Table 9 compounds entering the treatment process is calculated as 
follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17JA97.003

Where:

QMWa = Mass flow rate of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds 
          entering the combustion unit, kilograms per hour.
[rho] = Density of the wastewater stream, kilograms per cubic meter.

[[Page 330]]

    (c) Each vapor collection system and closed vent system shall be 
inspected according to the procedures specified in paragraphs (c)(1) 
through (c)(5) of this section.
    (1) Inspections shall be conducted in accordance with Method 21 of 
40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (2)(i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section, 
the detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of Method 
21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response factor 
criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the average 
composition of the process fluid not each individual volatile organic 
compound in the stream. For process streams that contain nitrogen, air, 
or other inerts which are not organic hazardous air pollutants or 
volatile organic compounds, the average stream response factor shall be 
calculated on an inert-free basis.
    (ii) If no instrument is available at the plant site that will meet 
the performance criteria specified in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this 
section, the instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying by the 
average response factor of the process fluid, calculated on an inert-
free basis as described in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section.
    (3) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A.
    (4) Calibration gases shall be as follows:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 parts per million hydrocarbon in air); 
and
    (ii) Mixtures of methane in air at a concentration less than 10,000 
parts per million. A calibration gas other than methane in air may be 
used if the instrument does not respond to methane or if the instrument 
does not meet the performance criteria specified in paragraph (c)(2)(i) 
of this section. In such cases, the calibration gas may be a mixture of 
one or more of the compounds to be measured in air.
    (5) An owner or operator may elect to adjust or not adjust 
instrument readings for background. If an owner or operator elects to 
not adjust readings for background, all such instrument readings shall 
be compared directly to the applicable leak definition to determine 
whether there is a leak. If an owner or operator elects to adjust 
instrument readings for background, the owner or operator shall measure 
background concentration using the procedures in Sec. Sec.  63.180(b) 
and (c) of subpart H of this part. The owner or operator shall subtract 
background reading from the maximum concentration indicated by the 
instrument.
    (6) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration 
indicated by the instrument and the background level shall be compared 
with 500 parts per million for determining compliance.

parts per million above background or by visual inspections, shall be 
repaired as soon as practicable, except as provided in paragraph (e) of 
this section.
    (1) A first attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 calendar 
days after the leak is detected.
    (2) Repair shall be completed no later than 15 calendar days after 
the leak is detected, except as provided in paragraph (d)(3) of this 
section.
    (3) For leaks found in vapor collection systems used for transfer 
operations, repairs shall be completed no later than 15 calendar days 
after the leak is detected or at the beginning of the next transfer 
loading operation, whichever is later.
    (e) Delay of repair of a vapor collection system, closed vent 
system, fixed roof, cover, or enclosure for which leaks have been 
detected is allowed if the repair is technically infeasible without a 
shutdown, as defined in Sec.  63.101 of subpart F of this part, or if 
the owner or operator determines that emissions resulting from immediate 
repair would be greater than the fugitive emissions likely to result 
from delay of repair. Repair of such equipment shall be complete by the 
end of the next shutdown.
    (f) For each vapor collection system or closed vent system that 
contains bypass lines that could divert a vent stream away from the 
control device and to the atmosphere, the owner or operator shall comply 
with the provisions of either paragraph (f)(1) or (f)(2)

[[Page 331]]

of this section, except as provided in paragraph (f)(3) of this section.
    (1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a flow indicator that 
determines whether vent stream flow is present at least once every 15 
minutes. Records shall be generated as specified in Sec.  63.118(a)(3) 
of this subpart. The flow indicator shall be installed at the entrance 
to any bypass line; or
    (2) Secure the bypass line valve in the closed position with a car-
seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. A visual inspection of the 
seal or closure mechanism shall be performed at least once every month 
to ensure the valve is maintained in the closed position and the vent 
stream is not diverted through the bypass line.
    (3) Equipment such as low leg drains, high point bleeds, analyzer 
vents, open-ended valves or lines, and pressure relief valves needed for 
safety purposes are not subject to this paragraph.
    (g) Any parts of the vapor collection system, closed vent system, 
fixed roof, cover, or enclosure that are designated, as described in 
paragraph (i)(1) of this section, as unsafe to inspect are exempt from 
the inspection requirements of paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3)(i) 
of this section if:
    (1) The owner or operator determines that the equipment is unsafe to 
inspect because inspecting personnel would be exposed to an imminent or 
potential danger as a consequence of complying with paragraphs (b)(1), 
(b)(2), or (b)(3)(i) of this section; and
    (2) The owner or operator has a written plan that requires

Sec.  63.149  Control requirements for certain liquid streams in open 
systems within a chemical manufacturing process unit.

    (a) The owner or operator shall comply with the provisions of table

[62 FR 2776, Jan. 17, 1997]



Sec.  63.150  Emissions averaging provisions.

    (a) This section applies to owners or operators of existing sources 
who seek to comply with the emission standard in Sec.  63.112(a) of this 
subpart by using emissions averaging according to Sec.  63.112(f) of 
this subpart rather than following the provisions of Sec. Sec.  63.113 
through 63.148 of this subpart. Notwithstanding the definition of 
process vent in Sec.  63.101 and the sampling site designation in Sec.  
63.115(a), for purposes of this section the location of a process vent 
shall be defined, and the characteristics of its gas stream shall be 
determined, consistent with paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this section.
    (b) Unless an operating permit application has been submitted, the 
owner or operator shall develop and submit for approval an 
Implementation Plan containing all of the information required in Sec.  
63.151(d) of this subpart for all points to be included in an emissions 
average. The Implementation Plan or operating permit application shall 
identify all emission points to be included in the emissions average. 
This must include any Group 1 emission points to which the reference 
control technology (defined in Sec.  63.111 of this subpart) is not 
applied and all other emission points being controlled as part of the 
average.
    (c) The following emission points can be used to generate emissions 
averaging credits, if control was applied after November 15, 1990 and if 
sufficient information is available to determine the appropriate value 
of credits for the emission point:
    (1) Group 2 emission points.
    (2) Group 1 emission points that are controlled by a technology that 
the Administrator or permitting authority agrees has a higher nominal 
efficiency than the reference control technology. Information on the 
nominal efficiencies for such technologies must be submitted and 
approved as provided in paragraph (i) of this section.
    (3) Emission points from which emissions are reduced by pollution 
prevention measures. Percent reductions for pollution prevention 
measures shall be determined as specified in paragraph (j) of this 
section.
    (i) For a Group 1 emission point, the pollution prevention measure 
must reduce emissions more than the reference control technology would 
have had the reference control technology been applied to the emission 
point instead of the pollution prevention measure except as provided in 
paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) If a pollution prevention measure is used in conjunction with 
other controls for a Group 1 emission point, the pollution prevention 
measure alone does not have to reduce emissions more than the reference 
control technology, but the combination of the pollution prevention 
measure and other controls must reduce emissions more than the reference 
control technology would have had it been applied instead.
    (d) The following emission points cannot be used to generate 
emissions averaging credits:
    (1) Emission points already controlled on or before November 15, 
1990, unless the level of control is increased after November 15, 1990, 
in which case credit will be allowed only for the increase in control 
after November 15, 1990.
    (2) Group 1 emission points that are controlled by a reference 
control technology, unless the reference control

[[Page 334]]

technology has been approved for use in a different manner and a higher 
nominal efficiency has been assigned according to the procedures in 
paragraph (i) of this section. For example, it is not allowable to claim 
that an internal floating roof meeting the specifications of Sec.  
63.119(b) of this subpart applied to a storage vessel is achieving 
greater than 95 percent control.
    (3) Emission points on shut-down process units. Process units that 
are shut down cannot be used to generate credits or debits.
    (4) Wastewater that is not process wastewater or wastewater streams 
treated in biological treatment units. These two types of wastewater 
cannot be used to generate credits or debits. For the purposes of this 
section, the terms wastewater and wastewater stream are used to mean 
process wastewater.
    (5) Emission points controlled to comply with a State or Federal 
rule other than this subpart, unless the level of control has been 
increased after November 15, 1990 above what is required by the other 
State or Federal rule. Only the control above what is required by the 
other State or Federal rule will be credited. However, if an emission 
point has been used to generate emissions averaging credit in an 
approved emissions average, and the point is subsequently made subject 
to a State or Federal rule other than this subpart, the point can 
continue to generate emissions averaging credit for the purpose of 
complying with the previously approved average.
    (e) For all points included in an emissions average, the owner or 
operator shall:
    (1) Calculate and record monthly debits for all Group 1 emission 
points that are controlled to a level less stringent than the reference 
control technology for those emission points. Equations in paragraph (g) 
of this section shall be used to calculate debits.
    (2) Calculate and record monthly credits for all Group 1 or Group 2 
emission points that are overcontrolled to compensate for the debits. 
Equations in paragraph (h) of this section shall be used to calculate 
credits. Emission points and controls that meet the criteria of 
paragraph (c) of this section may be included in the credit calculation, 
whereas those described in paragraph (d) of this section shall not be 
included.
    (3) Demonstrate that annual credits calculated according to 
paragraph (h) of this section are greater than or equal to debits 
calculated for the same annual compliance period according to paragraph 
(g) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator may choose to include more than the 
required number of credit-generating emission points in an average in 
order to increase the likelihood of being in compliance.
    (ii) The initial demonstration in the Implementation Plan or 
operating permit application that credit-generating emission points will 
be capable of generating sufficient credits to offset the debits from 
the debit-generating emission points must be made under representative 
operating conditions. After the compliance date, actual operating data 
will be used for all debit and credit calculations.
    (4) Demonstrate that debits calculated for a quarterly (3-month) 
period according to paragraph (g) of this section are not more than 1.30 
times the credits for the same period calculated according to paragraph 
(h) of this section. Compliance for the quarter shall be determined 
based on the ratio of credits and debits from that quarter, with 30 
percent more debits than credits allowed on a quarterly basis.
    (5) Record and report quarterly and annual credits and debits in the 
Periodic Reports as specified in Sec.  63.152(c) of this subpart. Every 
fourth Periodic Report shall include a certification of compliance with 
the emissions averaging provisions as required by Sec.  
63.152(c)(5)(iv)(B) of this subpart.
    (f) Debits and credits shall be calculated in accordance with the 
methods and procedures specified in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this 
section, respectively, and shall not include emissions from the 
following:
    (1) More than 20 individual Group 1 or Group 2 emission points. 
Where pollution prevention measures (as specified in paragraph (j)(1) of 
this section) are used to control emission points to be included in an 
emissions average, no

[[Page 335]]

more than 25 emission points may be included in the average. For 
example, if two emission points to be included in an emissions average 
are controlled by pollution prevention measures, the average may include 
up to 22 emission points.
    (2) Periods of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction as described in 
the source's start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan required by Sec.  
63.6(e)(3) of subpart A of this part.
    (3) Periods of monitoring excursions as defined in Sec.  
63.152(c)(2)(ii)(A) of this subpart. For these periods, the calculation 
of monthly credits and debits shall be adjusted as specified in 
paragraphs (f)(3)(i) through (f)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (i) No credits would be assigned to the credit-generating emission 
point.
    (ii) Maximum debits would be assigned to the debit-generating 
emission point.
    (iii) The owner or operator may demonstrate to the Administrator 
that full or partial credits or debits should be assigned using the 
procedures in paragraph (l) of this section.
    (g) Debits are generated by the difference between the actual 
emissions from a Group 1 emission point that is uncontrolled or is 
controlled to a level less stringent than the reference control 
technology, and the emissions allowed for the Group 1 emission point. 
Debits shall be calculated as follows:
    (1) The overall equation for calculating source-wide debits is:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.245
    
where:

Debits and all terms of the equation are in units of megagrams per 
          month, and
EPViACTUAL = Emissions from each Group 1 process vent i that 
          is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less stringent 
          than the reference control technology. This is calculated 
          according to paragraph (g)(2) of this section.
(0.02) EPViu = Emissions from each Group 1 vent i if the 
          reference control technology had been applied to the 
          uncontrolled emissions, calculated according to paragraph 
          (g)(2) of this section.
ESiACTUAL = Emissions from each Group 1 storage vessel i that 
          is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less stringent 
          than the reference control technology. This is calculated 
          according to paragraph (g)(3) of this section.
(0.05) ESiu = Emissions from each Group 1 storage vessel i if 
          the reference control technology had been applied to the 
          uncontrolled emissions, calculated according to paragraph 
          (g)(3) of this section.
ETRiACTUAL = Emissions from each Group 1 transfer rack i that 
          is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less stringent 
          than the reference control technology. This is calculated 
          according to paragraph (g)(4) of this section.
(0.02) ETRiu = Emissions from each Group 1 transfer rack i if 
          the reference control technology had been applied to the 
          uncontrolled emissions, calculated according to paragraph 
          (g)(4) of this section.
EWWiACTUAL = Emissions from each Group 1 wastewater stream i 
          that is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less 
          stringent than the reference control technology. This is 
          calculated according to paragraph (g)(5) of this section.
EWWic = Emissions from each Group 1 wastewater stream i if 
          the reference control technology had been applied to the 
          uncontrolled emissions. This is calculated according to 
          paragraph (g)(5) of this section.
n = The number of emission points being included in the emissions 
          average. The

[[Page 336]]

          value of n is not necessarily the same for process vents, 
          storage vessels, transfer racks, and wastewater.

    (2) Emissions from process vents shall be calculated according to 
paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section.
    (i) The location of a process vent shall be defined, and the 
characteristics of its gas stream shall be determined at a point that 
meets the conditions in either paragraph (g)(2)(i)(A) or (B) of this 
section and the conditions in paragraphs (g)(2)(i)(C) through (E) of 
this section.
    (A) The point is after the final recovery device (if any recovery 
devices are present).
    (B) If a gas stream included in an emissions average is combined 
with one or more other gas streams after a final recovery device (if any 
recovery devices are present), then for each gas stream, the point is at 
a representative point after any final recovery device and as near as 
feasible to, but before, the point of combination of the gas streams.
    (C) The point is before any control device (for process vents, 
recovery devices shall not be considered control devices).
    (D) The point is before discharge to the atmosphere.
    (E) The measurement site for determination of the characteristics of 
the gas stream was selected using Method 1 or 1A of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A.
    (ii) The following equation shall be used for each process vent i to 
calculate EPViu:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.246

where:

EPViu = Uncontrolled process vent emission rate from process 
          vent i, megagrams per month.
Q = Vent stream flow rate, dry standard cubic meters per minute, 
          measured using Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D of part 60, appendix A, 
          as appropriate.
h = Monthly hours of operation during which positive flow is present in 
          the vent, hours per month.
Cj = Concentration, parts per million by volume, dry basis, of organic 
          HAP j as measured by Method 18 of part 60, appendix A.
Mj = Molecular weight of organic HAP j, gram per gram-mole.
n = Number of organic HAP's.

    (A) The values of Q, Cj, and Mj shall be 
determined during a performance test conducted under representative 
operating conditions. The values of Q, Cj, and Mj 
shall be established in the Notification of Compliance Status and must 
be updated as provided in paragraph (g)(2)(ii)(B) of this section.
    (B) If there is a change in capacity utilization other than a change 
in monthly operating hours, or if any other change is made to the 
process or product recovery equipment or operation such that the 
previously measured values of Q, Cj, and Mj are no 
longer representative, a new performance test shall be conducted to 
determine new representative values of Q, Cj, and 
Mj. These new values shall be used to calculate debits and 
credits from the time of the change forward, and the new values shall be 
reported in the next Periodic Report.
    (iii) The following procedures and equations shall be used to 
calculate EPViACTUAL:
    (A) If the vent is not controlled by a control device or pollution 
prevention measure, EPViACTUAL = EPViu, where 
EPViu is calculated according to the procedures in paragraphs 
(g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (B) If the vent is controlled using a control device or a pollution 
prevention measure achieving less than 98-percent reduction,
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.247


[[Page 337]]


    (1) The percent reduction shall be measured according to the 
procedures in Sec.  63.116 of this subpart if a combustion control 
device is used. For a flare meeting the criteria in Sec.  63.116(a) of 
this subpart, or a boiler or process heater meeting the criteria in 
Sec.  63.116(b) of this subpart, the percent reduction shall be 98 
percent. If a non-combustion control device is used, percent reduction 
shall be demonstrated by a performance test at the inlet and outlet of 
the device, or, if testing is not feasible, by a control design 
evaluation and documented engineering calculations.
    (2) For determining debits from Group 1 process vents, recovery 
devices shall not be considered control devices and cannot be assigned a 
percent reduction in calculating EPViACTUAL. The sampling 
site for measurement of uncontrolled emissions is after the final 
recovery device. However, as provided in Sec.  63.113(a)(3), a Group 1 
process vent may add sufficient recovery to raise the TRE index value 
above 1.0, thereby becoming a Group 2 process vent.
    (3) Procedures for calculating the percent reduction of pollution 
prevention measures are specified in paragraph (j) of this section.
    (3) Emissions from storage vessels shall be calculated as follows:
    (i) The following equation shall be used for each storage vessel i 
to calculate ESiu:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.248

where:

ESiu = Uncontrolled emissions, defined as emissions from a 
          fixed roof vessel having identical dimensions and vessel color 
          as vessel i, megagrams per month.
LB = Breathing loss emissions, megagrams per year, calculated 
          according to paragraph (g)(3)(i)(A) of this section.
LW = Working loss emissions, megagrams per year, calculated 
          according to paragraph (g)(3)(i)(B) of this section.
12 = Constant, months per year.

    (A) Breathing loss emissions shall be calculated using the following 
equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.249

where:

Mv = Molecular weight of vapor in storage vessel, pound per 
          pound-mole.
PA = Average atmospheric pressure, pounds per square inch 
          absolute.
P = True vapor pressure of the HAP at liquid storage temperature, pounds 
          per square inch absolute. See table 21 of this subpart.
D = Tank diameter, feet.
H = Average vapor space height, feet. Use vessel-specific values or an 
          assumed value of one-half the height.
[Delta] T = Average ambient diurnal temperature change, [deg]F. A 
          typical value of 20 [deg]F may be used.
Fp = Paint factor, dimensionless, from table 22 of this 
          subpart; use Fp = 1 for vessels located indoors.
C = Adjustment factor for small diameter tanks, dimensionless; use C = 1 
          for diameter =30 feet; use C = 0.0771D - 0.0013D\2\ 
          - 0.1334 for diameter <30 feet.
KC = Product factor, dimensionless. Use 1.0 for organic 
          HAP's.

    (B) Working losses shall be calculated using the following equation:

LW = 1.089 x 10-8 Mv (P)(V)(N) 
(KN) (KC)

where:

V = Tank capacity, gallon.
N = Number of turnovers per year.
KN = Turnover factor, dimensionless, and
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.250

Mv, P, and KC as defined in paragraph (g)(3)(i)(A) 
          of this section.

    (C) The owner or operator may elect to calculate ESiu in 
accordance with the methods described in American Petroleum Institute 
Publication 2518, Evaporative Loss from Fixed-Roof Tanks (incorporated 
by reference as specified in Sec.  63.14 of this part).

[[Page 338]]

    (1) The owner or operator who elects to use these alternative 
methods must use them for all storage vessels included in the emissions 
average as debit or credit generating points.
    (2) The equations of paragraphs (g)(3)(i)(A) and (g)(3)(i)(B) of 
this section shall not be used in conjunction with the alternative 
methods provided under paragraph (g)(3)(i)(C) of this section.
    (ii) The following procedures and equations shall be used for each 
fixed roof storage vessel i that is not controlled with a floating roof 
to calculate ESiACTUAL:
    (A) If the vessel is not controlled, ESiACTUAL =

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26AP99.009


[[Page 349]]


    (C) If the Group 1 wastewater stream i is controlled using a 
treatment process or series of treatment processes with an approved 
nominal reduction efficiency in the table 9 HAP concentration greater 
than that of the design steam stripper specified in Sec.  63.138(d) of 
this subpart, and the vapor stream(s) vented from the treatment process 
are controlled using a device with an approved nominal efficiency 
greater than 95 percent, the following equation shall be used. All terms 
other than nominal efficiency are as defined and determined in paragraph 
(g)(5) of this section.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26AP99.010

    (i) The following procedures shall be followed to establish nominal 
efficiencies. The procedures in paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(6) of this 
section shall be followed for control technologies that are different in 
use or design from the reference control technologies and achieve 
greater percent reductions than the percent efficiencies assigned to the 
reference control technologies in Sec.  63.111 of this subpart.
    (1) In those cases where the owner or operator is seeking permission 
to take credit for use of a control technology that is different in use 
or design from the reference control technology, and the different 
control technology will be used in more than three applications at a 
single plant-site, the owner or operator shall submit the information 
specified in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) through (i)(1)(iv) of this section to 
the Director of the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards in 
writing:
    (i) Emission stream characteristics of each emission point to which 
the control technology is or will be applied including the kind of 
emission point, flow, organic HAP concentration, and all other stream 
characteristics necessary to design the control technology or determine 
its performance.
    (ii) Description of the control technology including design 
specifications.
    (iii) Documentation demonstrating to the Administrator's 
satisfaction the control efficiency of the control technology. This may 
include performance test data collected using an appropriate EPA method 
or any other method validated according to Method 301 of appendix A of 
this part. If it is infeasible to obtain test data, documentation may 
include a design evaluation and calculations. The engineering basis of 
the calculation procedures and all inputs and assumptions made in the 
calculations shall be documented.
    (iv) A description of the parameter or parameters to be monitored to 
ensure that the control technology will be operated in conformance with 
its design and an explanation of the criteria used for selection of that 
parameter (or parameters).
    (2) The Administrator shall determine within 120 calendar days 
whether an application presents sufficient information to determine 
nominal efficiency. The Administrator reserves the right to request 
specific data in addition to the items listed in paragraph (i)(1) of 
this section.
    (3) The Administrator shall determine within 120 calendar days of 
the submittal of sufficient data whether a control technology shall have 
a nominal efficiency and the level of that nominal efficiency. If, in 
the Administrator's judgment, the control technology achieves a level of 
emission reduction greater than the reference control technology for a 
particular kind of emission point, the Administrator will publish a 
Federal Register notice establishing a nominal efficiency for the 
control technology.
    (4) The Administrator may condition permission to take emission 
credits for

[[Page 350]]

use of the control technology on requirements that may be necessary to 
ensure operation and maintenance to achieve the specified nominal 
efficiency.
    (5) In those cases where the owner or operator is seeking permission 
to take credit for use of a control technology that is different in use 
or design from the reference control technology and the different 
control technology will be used in no more than three applications at a 
single plant site, the information listed in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) 
through (i)(1)(iv) can be submitted to the permitting authority for the 
source for approval instead of the Administrator.
    (i) In these instances, use and conditions for use of the control 
technology can be approved by the permitting authority as part of an 
operating permit application or modification. The permitting authority 
shall follow the procedures specified in paragraphs (i)(2) through 
(i)(4) of this section except that, in these instances, a Federal 
Register notice is not required to establish the nominal efficiency for 
the different technology.
    (ii) If, in reviewing the application, the permitting authority 
believes the control technology has broad applicability for use by other 
sources, the permitting authority shall submit the information provided 
in the application to the Director of the EPA Office of Air Quality 
Planning and Standards. The Administrator shall review the technology 
for broad applicability and may publish a Federal Register notice; 
however, this review shall not affect the permitting authority's 
approval of the nominal efficiency of the control technology for the 
specific application.
    (6) If, in reviewing an application for a control technology for an 
emission point, the Administrator or permitting authority determines the 
control technology is not different in use or design from the reference 
control technology, the Administrator or permitting authority shall deny 
the application.
    (j) The following procedures shall be used for calculating the 
efficiency (percent reduction) of pollution prevention measures:
    (1) A pollution prevention measure is any practice which meets the 
criteria of paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and (j)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) A pollution prevention measure is any practice that results in a 
lesser quantity of organic HAP emissions per unit of product released to 
the atmosphere prior to out-of-process recycling, treatment, or control 
of emissions, while the same product is produced.
    (ii) Pollution prevention measures may include: substitution of 
feedstocks that reduce HAP emissions; alterations to the production 
process to reduce the volume of materials released to the environment; 
equipment modifications; housekeeping measures; and in-process recycling 
that returns waste materials directly to production as raw materials. 
Production cutbacks do not qualify as pollution prevention.
    (2) The emission reduction efficiency of pollution prevention 
measures implemented after November 15, 1990, can be used in calculating 
the actual emissions from an emission point in the debit and credit 
equations in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this section. When the term 
``organic HAP'' is used in Sec.  63.150(j)(2) in reference to wastewater 
emission points, the term ``table 9 HAP'' shall apply for the purposes 
of this paragraph.
    (i) For pollution prevention measures, the percent reduction used in 
the equations in paragraphs (g)(2) through (g)(5) of this section and 
paragraphs (h)(2) through (h)(5) of this section is the percent 
difference between the monthly organic HAP emissions for each emission 
point after the pollution prevention measure for the most recent month 
versus monthly emissions from the same emission point before the 
pollution prevention measure, adjusted by the volume of product produced 
during the two monthly periods.
    (ii) The following equation shall be used to calculate the percent 
reduction of a pollution prevention measure for each emission point.

[[Page 351]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.290

where:

Percent reduction = Efficiency of pollution prevention measure (percent 
          organic HAP reduction).
EB = Monthly emissions before the pollution prevention 
          measure, megagrams per month, determined as specified in 
          paragraphs (j)(2)(ii)(A), (j)(2)(ii)(B), and (j)(2)(ii)(C) of 
          this section.
Epp = Monthly emissions after the pollution prevention 
          measure, megagrams per month, as determined for the most 
          recent month, determined as specified in paragraphs 
          (j)(2)(ii)(D) or (j)(2)(ii)(E) of this section.
PB = Monthly production before the pollution prevention 
          measure, megagrams per month, during the same period over 
          which EB is calculated.
Ppp = Monthly production after the pollution prevention 
          measure, megagrams per month, as determined for the most 
          recent month.

    (A) The monthly emissions before the pollution prevention measure, 
EB, shall be determined in a manner consistent with the 
equations and procedures in paragraphs (g)(2), (g)(3), and (g)(4) of 
this section for process vents, storage vessels, and transfer 
operations.
    (B) For wastewater, EB shall be calculated as follows:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26AP99.011
    
Where:

n = Number of wastewater streams.
QBi = Average flow rate for wastewater stream i before the 
          pollution prevention measure, defined and determined according 
          to paragraph (g)(5)(i) of this section, liters per minute, 
          before implementation of the pollution prevention measure.
HBi = Number of hours per month that wastewater stream i was 
          discharged before the pollution prevention measure, hours per 
          month.
s = Total number of table 9 HAP in wastewater stream i.
Fem = Fraction emitted of table 9 HAP m in wastewater of this 
          subpart, dimensionless.
HAPBim = Average concentration of table 9 HAP m in wastewater 
          stream i, defined and determined according to paragraph 
          (g)(5)(i) of this section, before the pollution prevention 
          measure, parts per million by weight, as measured before the 
          implementation of the pollution measure.

    (C) If the pollution prevention measure was implemented prior to 
April 22, 1994, records may be used to determine EB.
    (D) The monthly emissions after the pollution prevention measure, 
Epp, may be determined during a performance test or by a 
design evaluation and documented engineering calculations. Once an 
emissions-to-production ratio has been established, the ratio can be 
used to estimate monthly emissions from monthly production records.
    (E) For wastewater, Epp shall be calculated using the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.292

where n, Qppi, Hppi, s, Fem, and 
HAPppim are defined and determined as described in paragraph 
(j)(2)(ii)(B) of this section except that Qppi, 
Hppi, and HAPppim shall be determined after the 
pollution prevention measure has been implemented.

    (iii) All equations, calculations, test procedures, test results, 
and other information used to determine the percent reduction achieved 
by a pollution prevention measure for each emission point shall be fully 
documented.

[[Page 352]]

    (iv) The same pollution prevention measure may reduce emissions from 
multiple emission points. In such cases, the percent reduction in 
emissions for each emission point must be calculated.
    (v) For the purposes of the equations in paragraphs (h)(2) through 
(h)(5) of this section, used to calculate credits for emission points 
controlled more stringently than the reference control technology, the 
nominal efficiency of a pollution prevention measure is equivalent to 
the percent reduction of the pollution prevention measure. When a 
pollution prevention measure is used, the owner or operator of a source 
is not required to apply to the Administrator for a nominal efficiency 
and is not subject to paragraph (i) of this section.
    (k) The owner or operator must demonstrate that the emissions from 
the emission points proposed to be included in the average will not 
result in greater hazard or, at the option of the operating permit 
authority, greater risk to human health or the environment than if the 
emission points were controlled according to the provisions in 
Sec. Sec.  63.113 through 63.148.
    (1) This demonstration of hazard or risk equivalency shall be made 
to the satisfaction of the operating permit authority.
    (i) The Administrator may require owners and operators to use 
specific methodologies and procedures for making a hazard or risk 
determination.
    (ii) The demonstration and approval of hazard or risk equivalency 
shall be made according to any guidance that the Administrator makes 
available for use.
    (2) Owners and operators shall provide documentation demonstrating 
the hazard or risk equivalency of their proposed emissions average in 
their operating permit application or in their Implementation Plan if an 
operating permit application has not yet been submitted.
    (3) An emissions averaging plan that does not demonstrate hazard or 
risk equivalency to the satisfaction of the Administrator shall not be 
approved. The Administrator may require such adjustments to the 
emissions averaging plan as are necessary in order to ensure that the 
average will not result in greater hazard or risk to human health or the 
environment than would result if the emission points were controlled 
according to Sec. Sec.  63.113 through 63.148 of this subpart.
    (4) A hazard or risk equivalency demonstration must:
    (i) Be a quantitative, bona fide chemical hazard or risk assessment;
    (ii) Account for differences in chemical hazard or risk to human 
health or the environment; and
    (iii) Meet any requirements set by the Administrator for such 
demonstrations.
    (l) For periods of excursions, an owner or operator may request that 
the provisions of paragraphs (l)(1) through (l)(4) of this section be 
followed instead of the procedures in paragraphs (f)(3)(i) and 
(f)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator of 
excursions in the Periodic Reports as required in Sec.  63.152 of this 
subpart.
    (2) The owner or operator shall demonstrate that other types of 
monitoring data or engineering calculations are appropriate to establish 
that the control device for the emission point was operating in such a 
fashion to warrant assigning full or partial credits and debits. This 
demonstration shall be made to the Administrator's satisfaction, and the 
Administrator may establish procedures of demonstrating compliance that 
are acceptable.
    (3) The owner or operator shall provide documentation of the 
excursion and the other type of monitoring data or engineering 
calculations to be used to demonstrate that the control device for the 
emission point was operating in such a fashion to warrant assigning full 
or partial credits and debits.
    (4) The Administrator may assign full or partial credit and debits 
upon review of the information provided.
    (m) For each Group 1 or Group 2 emission point included in an 
emissions average, the owner or operator shall perform testing, 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting equivalent to that required for 
Group 1 emission points complying with Sec. Sec.  63.113 through 63.148 
of this subpart. The specific requirements for process vents, storage

control device, the range may be based solely on engineering assessments 
and/or manufacturer's recommendations.
    (iii) A definition of the source's operating day for purposes of 
determining daily average values of monitored parameters. The definition 
shall specify the times at which an operating day begins and ends.
    (3) For emission points included in an emissions average, the 
Notification of Compliance Status shall include the values of all 
parameters needed for input to the emission credit and debit

[[Page 361]]

equations in Sec.  63.150 (g) and (h), calculated or measured according 
to the procedures in Sec.  63.150 (g) and (h) of this subpart, and the 
resulting calculation of credits and debits for the first quarter of the 
year. The first quarter begins on the compliance date specified in Sec.  
63.100 of subpart F.
    (4) If any emission point is subject to this subpart and to other 
standards as specified in Sec.  63.110 of this subpart and if the 
provisions of Sec.  63.110 of this subpart allow the owner or operator 
to choose which testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping 
provisions will be followed, then the Notification of Compliance Status 
shall indicate which rule's requirements will be followed for testing, 
monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping.
    (5) An owner or operator who transfers a Group 1 wastewater stream 
or residual removed from a Group 1 wastewater stream for treatment 
pursuant to Sec.  63.132(g) shall include in the Notification of 
Compliance Status the name and location of the transferee and a 
description of the Group 1 wastewater stream or residual sent to the 
treatment facility.
    (6) An owner or operator complying with Sec.  63.113(i) shall 
include in the Notification of Compliance Status, or where applicable, a 
supplement to the Notification of Compliance Status, the name and 
location of the transferee, and the identification of the Group 1 
process vent.
    (c) The owner or operator of a source subject to this subpart shall 
submit Periodic Reports.
    (1) Except as specified under paragraphs (c)(5) and (c)(6) of this 
section, a report containing the information in paragraphs (c)(2), 
(c)(3), and (c)(4) of this section shall be submitted semiannually no 
later than 60 calendar days after the end of each 6-month period. The 
first report shall be submitted no later than 8 months after the date 
the Notification of Compliance Status is due and shall cover the 6-month 
period beginning on the date the Notification of Compliance Status is 
due.
    (2) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2)(iv) of this section, for 
an owner or operator of a source complying with the provisions of 
Sec. Sec.  63.113 through 63.147 for any emission points, Periodic 
Reports shall include all information specified in Sec. Sec.  63.117 and 
63.118 for process vents, Sec.  63.122 for storage vessels, Sec. Sec.  
63.129 and 63.130 for transfer operations, and Sec.  63.146 for process 
wastewater, including reports of periods when monitored parameters are 
outside their established ranges.
    (i) For each parameter or parameters required to be monitored for a 
control device, the owner or operator shall establish a range of 
parameter values to ensure that the device is being applied, operated 
and maintained properly. As specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section, these parameter values and the definition of an operating day 
shall be approved as part of and incorporated into the source's 
Notification of Compliance Status or operating permit, as appropriate.
    (ii) The parameter monitoring data for Group 1 emission points and 
emission points included in emissions averages that are required to 
perform continuous monitoring shall be used to determine compliance with 
the required operating conditions for the monitored control devices or 
recovery devices. For each excursion, except for excused excursions, the 
owner or operator shall be deemed to have failed to have applied the 
control in a manner that achieves the required operating conditions.
    (A) An excursion means any of the three cases listed in paragraph 
(c)(2)(ii)(A)(1), (c)(2)(ii)(A)(2), or (c)(2)(ii)(A)(3) of this section. 
For a control device or recovery device where multiple parameters are 
monitored, if one or more of the parameters meets the excursion criteria 
in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(A)(1), (c)(2)(ii)(A)(2), or (c)(2)(ii)(A)(3) of 
this section, this is considered a single excursion for the control 
device or recovery device.
    (1) When the daily average value of one or more monitored parameters 
is outside the permitted range.
    (2) When the period of control device or recovery device operation 
is 4 hours or greater in an operating day and monitoring data are 
insufficient to constitute a valid hour of data for at least 75 percent 
of the operating hours.
    (3) When the period of control device or recovery device operation 
is less than 4 hours in an operating day and

[[Page 362]]

more than one of the hours during the period of operation does not 
constitute a valid hour of data due to insufficient monitoring data.
    (4) Monitoring data are insufficient to constitute a valid hour of 
data, as used in paragraphs (c)(2)(ii)(A)(2) and (c)(2)(ii)(A)(3) of 
this section, if measured values are unavailable for any of the 15-
minute periods within the hour. For data compression systems approved 
under Sec.  63.151(g)(4), monitoring data are insufficient to calculate 
a valid hour of data if there are less than 4 data values recorded 
during the hour.
    (B) The number of excused excursions for each control device or 
recovery device for each semiannual period is specified in paragraphs 
(c)(2)(ii)(B)(1) through (c)(2)(ii)(B)(6) of this section. This 
paragraph applies to sources required to submit Periodic Reports 
semiannually or quarterly. The first semiannual period is the 6-month 
period starting the date the Notification of Compliance Status is due.
    (1) For the first semiannual period--six excused excursions.
    (2) For the second semiannual period--five excused excursions.
    (3) For the third semiannual period--four excused excursions.
    (4) For the fourth semiannual period--three excused excursions.
    (5) For the fifth semiannual period--two excused excursions.
    (6) For the sixth and all subsequent semiannual periods--one excused 
excursion.
    (C) A monitored parameter that is outside its established range or 
monitoring data that are not collected are excursions. However, if the 
conditions in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(C)(1) or (c)(2)(ii)(C)(2) of this 
section are met, these excursions are not violations and do not count 
toward the number of excused excursions for determining compliance.
    (1) Periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction. During periods of 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction when the source is operated during 
such periods in accordance with Sec.  63.102(a)(4).
    (2) Periods of nonoperation. During periods of nonoperation of the 
chemical manufacturing process unit, or portion thereof, that results in 
cessation of the emissions to which the monitoring applies.
    (D) Nothing in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section shall be 
construed to allow or excuse a monitoring parameter excursion caused by 
any activity that violates other applicable provisions of subpart A, F, 
or G of this part.
    (E) Paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section, except paragraph 
(c)(2)(ii)(C) of this section, shall apply only to emission points and 
control devices or recovery devices for which continuous monitoring is 
required by Sec. Sec.  63.113 through 63.150.
    (iii) Periodic Reports shall include the daily average values of 
monitored parameters for both excused and unexcused excursions, as 
defined in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(A) of this section. For excursions 
caused by lack of monitoring data, the duration of periods when 
monitoring data were not collected shall be specified.
    (iv) The provisions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(2)(i), (c)(2)(ii), and 
(c)(2)(iii) of this section do not apply to any storage vessel for which 
the owner or operator is not required, by the applicable monitoring plan 
established under Sec.  63.120(d)(2), to keep continuous records. If 
continuous records are required, the owner or operator shall specify, in 
the monitoring plan, whether the provisions of paragraphs (c)(2), 
(c)(2)(i), (c)(2)(ii), and (c)(2)(iii) of this section apply.
    (3) If any performance tests are reported in a Periodic Report, the 
following information shall be included:
    (i) One complete test report shall be submitted for each test method 
used for a particular kind of emission point tested. A complete test 
report shall contain the information specified in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) 
of this section.
    (ii) For additional tests performed for the same kind of emission 
point using the same method, results and any other information required 
in Sec.  63.117 for process vents, Sec.  63.129 for transfer, and Sec.  
63.146 for process wastewater shall be submitted, but a complete test 
report is not required.
    (4) Periodic Reports shall include the information in paragraphs 
(c)(4)(i) through (c)(4)(iv) of this section, as applicable:

[[Page 363]]

    (i) For process vents, reports of process changes as required under 
Sec.  63.118 (g), (h), (i), and (j) of this subpart,
    (ii) Any supplements required under Sec.  63.151(i) and (j) of this 
subpart,
    (iii) Notification if any Group 2 emission point becomes a Group 1 
emission point, including a compliance schedule as required in Sec.  
63.100 of subpart F of this part, and
    (iv) For gas streams sent for disposal pursuant to Sec.  63.113(i) 
or for process wastewater streams sent for treatment pursuant to Sec.  
63.132(g), reports of changes in the identity of the transferee.
    (5) The owner or operator of a source shall submit quarterly reports 
for all emission points included in an emissions average.
    (i) The quarterly reports shall be submitted no later than 60 
calendar days after the end of each quarter. The first report shall be 
submitted with the Notification of Compliance Status no later than 5 
months after the compliance date specified in Sec.  63.100 of subpart F.
    (ii) The quarterly reports shall include the information specified 
in this paragraph for all emission points included in an emissions 
average.
    (A) The credits and debits calculated each month during the quarter;
    (B) A demonstration that debits calculated for the quarter are not 
more than 1.30 times the credits calculated for the quarter, as required 
under Sec.  63.150(e)(4) of this subpart.
    (C) The values of any inputs to the credit and debit equations in 
Sec.  63.150 (g) and (h) of this subpart that change from month to month 
during the quarter or that have changed since the previous quarter;
    (D) Results of any performance tests conducted during the reporting 
period including one complete report for each test method used for a 
particular kind of emission point as described in paragraph (c)(3) of 
this section;
    (E) Reports of daily average values of monitored parameters for both 
excused and unexcused excursions as defined in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(A) 
of this section. For excursions caused by lack of monitoring data, the 
duration of periods when monitoring data were not collected shall be 
specified.
    (iii) Paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iii) of this section shall 
govern the use of monitoring data to determine compliance for Group 1 
and Group 2 points included in emissions averages. For storage vessels 
to which the provisions of paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iii) of 
this section do not apply (as specified in paragraph (c)(2)(iv) of this 
section), the owner or operator is required to comply with the 
provisions of the applicable monitoring plan, and monitoring records may 
be used to determine compliance.
    (iv) Every fourth quarterly report shall include the following:
    (A) A demonstration that annual credits are greater than or equal to 
annual debits as required by Sec.  63.150(e)(3) of this subpart; and
    (B) A certification of compliance with all the emissions averaging 
provisions in Sec.  63.150 of this subpart.
    (6) The owner or operator of a source shall submit reports quarterly 
for particular emission points not included in an emissions average 
under the circumstances described in paragraphs (c)(6)(i) through 
(c)(6)(v) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator of a source subject to this subpart shall 
submit quarterly reports for a period of one year for an emission point 
that is not included in an emissions average if:
    (A) The emission point has more excursions, as defined in paragraph 
(c)(2)(ii) of this section, than the number of excused excursions 
allowed under paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(B) of this section for a semiannual 
reporting period; and
    (B) The Administrator requests the owner or operator to submit 
quarterly reports for the emission point.
    (ii) The quarterly reports shall include all information in 
paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(4) of this section applicable to the 
emission point(s) for which quarterly reporting is required under 
paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this section. Information applicable to other 
emission points within the source shall be submitted in the semiannual 
reports required under paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (iii) Quarterly reports shall be submitted no later than 60 calendar 
days after the end of each quarter.

[[Page 364]]

    (iv) After quarterly reports have been submitted for an emission 
point for one year, the owner or operator may return to semiannual 
reporting for the emission point unless the Administrator requests the 
owner or operator to continue to submit quarterly reports.
    (v) Paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iii) of this section shall 
govern the use of monitoring data to determine compliance for Group 1 
emission points. For storage vessels to which the provisions of 
paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iii) of this section do not apply 
(as specified in paragraph (c)(2)(iv) of this section), the owner or 
operator is required to comply with the provisions of the applicable 
monitoring plan, and monitoring records may be used to determine 
compliance.
    (d) Other reports shall be submitted as specified in subpart A of 
this part or in Sec. Sec.  63.113 through 63.151 of this subpart. These 
reports are:
    (1) Reports of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction required by Sec.  
63.10(d)(5) of subpart A. The start-up, shutdown and malfunction reports 
may be submitted on the same schedule as the Periodic Reports required 
under paragraph (c) of this section instead of the schedule specified in 
Sec.  63.10(d)(5) of subpart A.
    (2) For storage vessels, the notifications of inspections required 
by Sec.  63.122 (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this subpart.
    (3) For owners or operators of sources required to request approval 
for a nominal control efficiency for use in calculating credits for an 
emissions average, the information specified in Sec.  63.150(i) of this 
subpart.
    (4) If an owner or operator transfers for disposal a gas stream that 
has the characteristics specified in Sec.  63.107(b) through (h) or 
meets the criteria specified in Sec.  63.107(i) to an off-site location 
or an on-site location not owned or operated by the owner or operator of 
the source and the vent stream was not included in the information 
submitted with the Notification of Compliance Status or a previous 
periodic report, the owner or operator shall submit a supplemental 
report. The supplemental report shall be submitted no later than July 
23, 2001 or with the next periodic report, whichever is later. The 
report shall provide the information listed in paragraphs (d)(4)(i) 
through (iv) of this section.
    (i) The chemical manufacturing process unit(s) that is the origin of 
all or part of the vent stream that exits the process vent.

the schedule and format required by the permitting authority.
    (1) The information specified in Sec.  63.151 (f) or (g) of this 
subpart for any emission points for which the owner or operator requests 
approval to monitor a unique parameter or use an alternative monitoring 
and recording system, and
    (2) The information specified in Sec.  63.151(d) of this subpart for 
points included in an emissions average.
    (3) The information specified in Sec.  63.151(e) of this subpart for 
points not included in an emissions average.
    (4) The information specified in Sec.  63.151(h) as applicable.
    (f) Owners or operators required to keep continuous records by 
Sec. Sec.  63.118, 63.130, 63.147, 63.150, or other sections of this 
subpart shall keep records as specified in paragraphs (f)(1) through 
(f)(7) of this section, unless an alternative recordkeeping system has 
been requested and approved under Sec.  63.151(f) or (g) or Sec.  
63.152(e) or under Sec.  63.8(f) of subpart A of this part, and except 
as provided in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(C) of this section or in paragraph 
(g) of this

[[Page 365]]

section. If a monitoring plan for storage vessels pursuant to Sec.  
63.120(d)(2)(i) requires continuous records, the monitoring plan shall 
specify which provisions, if any, of paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(7) of 
this section apply.
    (1) The monitoring system shall measure data values at least once 
every 15 minutes.
    (2) The owner or operator shall record either:
    (i) Each measured data value; or
    (ii) Block average values for 15-minute or shorter periods 
calculated from all measured data values during each period or at least 
one measured data value per minute if measured more frequently than once 
per minute.
    (3) If the daily average value of a monitored parameter for a given 
operating day is within the range established in the Notification of 
Compliance Status or operating permit, the owner or operator shall 
either:
    (i) Retain block hourly average values for that operating day for 5 
years and discard, at or after the end of that operating day, the 15-
minute or more frequent average values and readings recorded under 
paragraph (f)(2) of this section; or
    (ii) Retain the data recorded in paragraph (f)(2) of this section 
for 5 years.
    (4) If the daily average value of a monitored parameter for a given 
operating day is outside the range established in the Notification of 
Compliance Status or operating permit, the owner or operator shall 
retain the data recorded that operating day under paragraph (f)(2) of 
this section for 5 years.
    (5) Daily average values of each continuously monitored parameter 
shall be calculated for each operating day, and retained for 5 years, 
except as specified in paragraphs (f)(6) and (f)(7) of this section.
    (i) The daily average shall be calculated as the average of all 
values for a monitored parameter recorded during the operating day. The 
average shall cover a 24-hour period if operation is continuous, or the 
number of hours of operation per operating day if operation is not 
continuous.
    (ii) The operating day shall be the period defined in the operating 
permit or the Notification of Compliance Status. It may be from midnight 
to midnight or another daily period.
    (6) If all recorded values for a monitored parameter during an 
operating day are within the range established in the Notification of 
Compliance Status or operating permit, the owner or operator may record 
that all values were within the range and retain this record for 5 years 
rather than calculating and recording a daily average for that operating 
day. For these operating days, the records required in paragraph (f)(3) 
of this section shall also be retained for 5 years.
    (7) Monitoring data recorded during periods identified in paragraphs 
(f)(7)(i) through (f)(7)(v) of this section shall not be included in any 
average computed under this subpart. Records shall be kept of the times 
and durations of all such periods and any other periods during process 
or control device operation when monitors are not operating.
    (i) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and 
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
    (ii) Start-ups;
    (iii) Shutdowns;
    (iv) Malfunctions;
    (v) Periods of non-operation of the chemical manufacturing process 
unit (or portion thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to 
which the monitoring applies.
    (g) For any parameter with respect to any item of equipment, the 
owner or operator may implement the recordkeeping requirements in 
paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this section as alternatives to the 
continuous operating parameter monitoring and recordkeeping provisions 
listed in Sec. Sec.  63.114, 63.117, and 63.118 for process vents, 
Sec. Sec.  63.127, 63.129, and 63.130 for transfer operations, 
Sec. Sec.  63.143, 63.146, and 63.147 for wastewater, and/or Sec.  
63.152(f), except that Sec.  63.152(f)(7) shall apply. The owner or 
operator shall retain each record required by paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) 
of this section as provided in Sec.  63.103(c) of subpart F of this 
part, except as provided otherwise in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this 
section.
    (1) The owner or operator may retain only the daily average value, 
and is not required to retain more frequent monitored operating 
parameter values, for a monitored parameter with respect to

[[Page 366]]

an item of equipment, if the requirements of paragraphs (g)(1)(i) 
through (g)(1)(vi) of this section are met. An owner or operator 
electing to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this 
section shall notify the Administrator in the Notification of Compliance 
Status or, if the Notification of Compliance Status has already been 
submitted, in the periodic report immediately preceding implementation 
of the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section.
    (i) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unrealistic or 
impossible data during periods of operation other than startups, 
shutdowns, or malfunctions (e.g., a temperature reading of -200 [deg]C 
on a boiler), and will alert the operator by alarm or other means. The 
owner or operator shall record the occurrence. All instances of the 
alarm or other alert in an operating day constitute a single occurrence.
    (ii) The monitoring system generates, updated at least hourly 
throughout each operating day, a running average of the monitoring 
values that have been obtained during that operating day, and the 
capability to observe this average is readily available to the 
Administrator on-site during the operating day. The owner or operator 
shall record the occurrence of any period meeting the criteria in 
paragraphs (g)(1)(ii)(A) through (g)(1)(iii)(C) of this section. All 
instances in an operating day constitute a single occurrence.
    (A) The running average is above the maximum or below the minimum 
established limits;
    (B) The running average is based on at least 6 1-hour average 
values; and
    (C) The running average reflects a period of operation other than a 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
    (iii) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unchanging data 
during periods of operation other than startups, shutdowns, or 
malfunctions, except in circumstances where the presence of unchanging 
data is the expected operating condition based on past experience (e.g., 
pH in some scrubbers), and will alert the operator by alarm or other 
means. The owner or operator shall record the occurrence. All instances 
of the alarm or other alert in an operating day constitute a single 
occurrence.
    (iv) The monitoring system will alert the owner or operator by an 
alarm or other means, if the running average parameter value calculated 
under paragraph (g)(1)(ii) of this section reaches a set point that is 
appropriately related to the established limit for the parameter that is 
being monitored.
    (v) The owner or operator shall verify the proper functioning of the 
monitoring system, including its ability to comply with the requirements 
of paragraph (g)(1) of this section, at the times specified in 
paragraphs (g)(1)(v)(A) through (g)(1)(v)(C) of this section. The owner 
or operator shall document that the required verifications occurred.
    (A) Upon initial installation.
    (B) Annually after initial installation.
    (C) After any change to the programming or equipment constituting 
the monitoring system, which might reasonably be expected to alter the 
monitoring system's ability to comply with the requirements of this 
section.
    (vi) The owner or operator shall retain the records identified in 
paragraphs (g)(1)(vi) (A) through (C) of this section.
    (A) Identification of each parameter, for each item of equipment, 
for which the owner or operator has elected to comply with the 
requirements of paragraph (g) of this section.
    (B) A description of the applicable monitoring system(s), and of how 
compliance will be achieved with each requirement of paragraph (g)(1)(i) 
through (g)(1)(v) of this section. The description shall identify the 
location and format (e.g., on-line storage; log entries) for each 
required record. If the description changes, the owner or operator shall 
retain both the current and the most recent superseded description. The 
description, and the most recent superseded description, shall be 
retained as provided in Sec.  63.103(c) of subpart F of this part, 
except as provided in paragraph (g)(1)(vi)(D) of this section.
    (C) A description, and the date, of any change to the monitoring 
system that would reasonably be expected to

[[Page 367]]

affect its ability to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) 
of this section.
    (D) Owners and operators subject to paragraph (g)(1)(vi)(B) of this 
section shall retain the current description of the monitoring system as 
long as the description is current, but not less than 5 years from the 
date of its creation. The current description shall, at all times, be 
retained on-site or be accessible from a central location by computer or 
other means that provides access within 2 hours after a request. The 
owner or operator shall retain the most recent superseded description at 
least until 5 years from the date of its creation. The superseded 
description shall be retained on-site (or accessible from a central 
location by computer that provides access within 2 hours after a 
request) at least 6 months after its creation. Thereafter, the 
superseded description may be stored off-site.
    (2) If an owner or operator has elected to implement the 
requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section, and a period of 6 
consecutive months has passed without an excursion as defined in 
paragraph (g)(2)(iv) of this section, the owner or operator is no longer 
required to record the daily average value for that parameter for that 
unit of equipment, for any operating day when the daily average value is 
less than the maximum, or greater than the minimum established limit. 
With approval by the Administrator, monitoring data generated prior to 
the compliance date of this subpart shall be credited toward the period 
of 6 consecutive months, if the parameter limit and the monitoring was 
required and/or approved by the Administrator.
    (i) If the owner or operator elects not to retain the daily average 
values, the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator in the next 
periodic report. The notification shall identify the parameter and unit 
of equipment.
    (ii) If, on any operating day after the owner or operator has ceased 
recording daily averages as provided in paragraph (g)(2) of this 
section, there is an excursion as defined in paragraph (g)(2)(iv) of 
this section, the owner or operator shall immediately resume retaining 
the daily average value for each day, and shall notify the Administrator 
in the next periodic report. The owner or operator shall continue to 
retain each daily average value until another period of 6 consecutive 
months has passed without an excursion as defined in paragraph

\a\ The roof fitting loss factors, KFa, KFb, and m, may only be used for wind speeds from 2 to 15 miles per
  hour.
\b\ Unit abbreviations are as follows: lb = pound; mi = miles; hr = hour; yr = year.
\c\ If no specific information is available, this value can be assumed to represent the most common or typical
  roof fittings currently in use.
\d\ A slotted guide-pole/sample well is an optional fitting and is not typically used.
\e\ Roof drains that drain excess rainwater into the product are not used on pontoon floating roofs. They are,
  however, used on double-deck floating roofs and are typically left open.
\f\ The most common roof leg diameter is 3 inches. The loss factors for 2\1/2\-inch diameter roof legs are
  provided for use if this smaller size roof is used on a particular floating roof.
\g\ Rim vents are used only with mechanical-shoe primary seals.

those in the processes they serve, are not considered to be part of a 
process unit.
    (f) The provisions of this subpart do not apply to research and 
development facilities or to bench-scale batch processes, regardless of 
whether the facilities or processes are located at the same plant site 
as a process subject to the provisions of this subpart.
    (g) Alternative means of compliance--(1) Option to comply with part 
65. Owners or operators of CMPU that are subject to Sec.  63.100 may 
choose to comply with the provisions of 40 CFR part 65 for all Group 1 
and Group 2 process vents, Group 1 storage vessels, Group 1 transfer 
operations, and equipment that are subject to Sec.  63.100, that are 
part of the CMPU. Other provisions applying to an owner or operator who 
chooses to comply with 40 CFR part 65 are provided in 40 CFR 65.1.
    (i) For equipment, 40 CFR part 65 satisfies the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.  63.102, 63.103, and 63.162 through 63.182. When choosing to 
comply with 40 CFR part 65, the requirements of Sec.  63.180(d) continue 
to apply.

Sec.  63.161  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given them in 
the Act and in this section as follows, except as provided in any 
subpart that references this subpart.
    Batch process means a process in which the equipment is fed 
intermittently or discontinuously. Processing then occurs in this 
equipment after which the equipment is generally emptied. Examples of 
industries that use batch processes include pharmaceutical production 
and pesticide production.
    Batch product-process equipment train means the collection of 
equipment (e.g., connectors, reactors, valves, pumps, etc.) configured 
to produce a specific product or intermediate by a batch process.
    Bench-scale batch process means a batch process (other than a 
research and development facility) that is operated on a small scale, 
such as one capable of being located on a laboratory bench top. This 
bench-scale equipment will typically include reagent feed vessels, a 
small reactor and associated product separator, recovery and holding 
equipment. These processes are only capable of producing small 
quantities of product.
    Bottoms receiver means a tank that collects distillation bottoms 
before the stream is sent for storage or for further downstream 
processing.
    Closed-loop system means an enclosed system that returns process 
fluid to the process and is not vented to the atmosphere except through 
a closed-vent system.
    Closed-purge system means a system or combination of system and 
portable containers, to capture purged liquids. Containers must be 
covered or closed when not being filled or emptied.
    Closed-vent system means a system that is not open to the atmosphere 
and that is composed of hard-piping, ductwork, connections and, if 
necessary, flow-inducing devices that transport gas or vapor from a 
piece or pieces of equipment to a control device or back into a process.
    Combustion device means an individual unit of equipment, such as a 
flare, incinerator, process heater, or boiler, used for the combustion 
of organic hazardous air pollutant emissions.
    Compliance date means the dates specified in Sec.  63.100(k) or 
Sec.  63.100(l)(3) of subpart F of this part for process units subject 
to subpart F of this part; the dates specified in Sec.  63.190(e) of 
subpart I of this part for process units subject to subpart I of this 
part. For sources subject to other subparts in 40 CFR part 63 that 
reference this subpart, compliance date will be defined in those 
subparts. However, the compliance date for Sec.  63.170 shall be no 
later than 3 years after the effective date of those subparts unless 
otherwise specified in such other subparts.
    Connector means flanged, screwed, or other joined fittings used to 
connect two pipe lines or a pipe line and a piece of equipment. A common 
connector is a flange. Joined fittings welded completely around the 
circumference of the interface are not considered connectors for the 
purpose of this regulation. For the purpose of reporting and 
recordkeeping, connector means joined fittings that are not 
inaccessible, glass, or glass-lined as described in Sec.  63.174(h) of 
this subpart.
    Control device means any equipment used for recovering, recapturing, 
or oxidizing organic hazardous air pollutant vapors. Such equipment 
includes, but is not limited to, absorbers, carbon adsorbers, 
condensers, flares, boilers, and process heaters.
    Double block and bleed system means two block valves connected in 
series with a bleed valve or line that can vent the line between the two 
block valves.
    Duct work means a conveyance system such as those commonly used for 
heating and ventilation systems. It is often made of sheet metal and 
often

[[Page 390]]

has sections connected by screws or crimping. Hard-piping is not 
ductwork.
    Equipment means each pump, compressor, agitator, pressure relief 
device, sampling connection system, open-ended valve or line, valve, 
connector, surge control vessel, bottoms receiver, and instrumentation 
system in organic hazardous air pollutant service; and any control 
devices or systems required by this subpart.
    First attempt at repair means to take action for the purpose of 
stopping or reducing leakage of organic material to the atmosphere, 
followed by monitoring as specified in Sec.  63.180 (b) and (c), as 
appropriate, to verify whether the leak is repaired, unless the owner or 
operator determines by other means that the leak is not repaired.
    Flow indicator means a device which indicates whether gas flow is, 
or whether the valve position would allow gas flow to be, present in a 
line.
    Fuel gas means gases that are combusted to derive useful work or 
heat.
    Fuel gas system means the offsite and onsite piping and control 
system that gathers gaseous stream(s) generated by onsite operations, 
may blend them with other sources of gas, and transports the gaseous 
stream for use as fuel gas in combustion devices or in in-process 
combustion equipment such as furnaces and gas turbines, either singly or 
in combination.
    Hard-piping means pipe or tubing that is manufactured and properly 
installed using good engineering judgement and standards, such as ANSI 
B31-3.
    In food/medical service means that a piece of equipment in organic 
hazardous air pollutant service contacts a process stream used to 
manufacture a Food and Drug Administration regulated product where 
leakage of a barrier fluid into the process stream would cause any of 
the following:
    (1) A dilution of product quality so that the product would not meet 
written specifications,
    (2) An exothermic reaction which is a safety hazard,
    (3) The intended reaction to be slowed down or stopped, or
    (4) An undesired side reaction to occur.
    In gas/vapor service means that a piece of equipment in organic 
hazardous air pollutant service contains a gas or vapor at operating 
conditions.
    In heavy liquid service means that a piece of equipment in organic 
hazardous air pollutant service is not in gas/vapor service or in light 
liquid service.
    In light liquid service means that a piece of equipment in organic 
hazardous air pollutant service contains a liquid that meets the 
following conditions:
    (1) The vapor pressure of one or more of the organic compounds is 
greater than 0.3 kilopascals at 20 [deg]C,
    (2) The total concentration of the pure organic compounds 
constituents having a vapor pressure greater than 0.3 kilopascals at 20 
[deg]C is equal to or greater than 20 percent by weight of the total 
process stream, and
    (3) The fluid is a liquid at operating conditions.
    Note: Vapor pressures may be determined by the methods described in 
40 CFR 60.485(e)(1).
    In liquid service means that a piece of equipment in organic 
hazardous air pollutant service is not in gas/vapor service.
    In organic hazardous air pollutant or in organic HAP service means 
that a piece of equipment either contains or contacts a fluid (liquid or 
gas) that is at least 5 percent by weight of total organic HAP's as 
determined according to the provisions of Sec.  63.180(d) of this 
subpart. The provisions of Sec.  63.180(d) of this subpart also specify 
how to determine that a piece of equipment is not in organic HAP 
service.
    In vacuum service means that equipment is operating at an internal 
pressure which is at least 5 kilopascals below ambient pressure.
    In volatile organic compound or in VOC service means, for the 
purposes of this subpart, that:
    (1) The piece of equipment contains or contacts a process fluid that 
is at least 10 percent VOC by weight (see 40 CFR 60.2 for the definition 
of VOC, and 40 CFR 60.485(d) to determine whether a piece of equipment 
is not in VOC service); and
    (2) The piece of equipment is not in heavy liquid service as defined 
in 40 CFR 60.481.

[[Page 391]]

    In-situ sampling systems means nonextractive samplers or in-line 
samplers.
    Initial start-up means the first time a new or reconstructed source 
begins production. Initial start-up does not include operation solely 
for testing equipment. Initial start-up does not include subsequent 
start-ups (as defined in this section) of process units following 
malfunctions or process unit shutdowns.
    Instrumentation system means a group of equipment components used to 
condition and convey a sample of the process fluid to analyzers and 
instruments for the purpose of determining process operating conditions 
(e.g., composition, pressure, flow, etc.). Valves and connectors are the 
predominant type of equipment used in instrumentation systems; however, 
other types of equipment may also be included in these systems. Only 
valves nominally 0.5 inches and smaller, and connectors nominally 0.75 
inches and smaller in diameter are considered instrumentation systems 
for the purposes of this subpart. Valves greater than nominally 0.5 
inches and connectors greater than nominally 0.75 inches associated with 
instrumentation systems are not considered part of instrumentation 
systems and must be monitored individually.
    Liquids dripping means any visible leakage from the seal including 
dripping, spraying, misting, clouding, and ice formation. Indications of 
liquid dripping include puddling or new stains that are indicative of an 
existing evaporated drip.
    Nonrepairable means that it is technically infeasible to repair a 
piece of equipment from which a leak has been detected without a process 
unit shutdown.
    On-site or On site means, with respect to records required to be 
maintained by this subpart, that the records are stored at a location 
within a major source which encompasses the affected source. On-site 
includes, but is not limited to, storage at the chemical manufacturing 
process unit to which the records pertain, or storage in central files 
elsewhere at the major source.
    Open-ended valve or line means any valve, except pressure relief 
valves, having one side of the valve seat in contact with process fluid 
and one side open to atmosphere, either directly or through open piping.
    Plant site means all contiguous or adjoining property that is under 
common control, including properties that are separated only by a road 
or other public right-of-way. Common control includes properties that 
are owned, leased, or operated by the same entity, parent entity, 
subsidiary, or any combination thereof.
    Polymerizing monomer means a molecule or compound usually containing 
carbon and of relatively low molecular weight and simple structure 
(e.g., hydrogen cyanide, acrylonitrile, styrene), which is capable of 
conversion to polymers, synthetic resins, or elastomers by combination 
with itself due to heat generation caused by a pump mechanical seal 
surface, contamination by a seal fluid (e.g., organic peroxides or 
chemicals that will form organic peroxides), or a combination of both 
with the resultant polymer buildup causing rapid mechanical seal 
failure.
    Pressure release means the emission of materials resulting from the 
system pressure being greater than the set pressure of the pressure 
relief device. This release can be one release or a series of releases 
over a short time period due to a malfunction in the process.
    Pressure relief device or valve means a safety device used to 
prevent operating pressures from exceeding the maximum allowable working 
pressure of the process equipment. A common pressure relief device is a 
spring-loaded pressure relief valve. Devices that are actuated either by 
a pressure of less than or equal to 2.5 psig or by a vacuum are not 
pressure relief devices.
    Process unit means a chemical manufacturing process unit as defined 
in subpart F of this part, a process subject to the provisions of 
subpart I of this part, or a process subject to another subpart in 40 
CFR part 63 that references this subpart.
    Process unit shutdown means a work practice or operational procedure 
that stops production from a process unit or part of a process unit 
during which it is technically feasible to clear process material from a 
process unit or part of a process unit consistent with safety

[[Page 392]]

constraints and during which repairs can be effected. An unscheduled 
work practice or operational procedure that stops production from a 
process unit or part of a process unit for less than 24 hours is not a 
process unit shutdown. An unscheduled work practice or operational 
procedure that would stop production from a process unit or part of a 
process unit for a shorter period of time than would be required to 
clear the process unit or part of the process unit of materials and 
start up the unit, and would result in greater emissions than delay of 
repair of leaking components until the next scheduled process unit 
shutdown, is not a process unit shutdown. The use of spare equipment and 
technically feasible bypassing of equipment without stopping production 
are not process unit shutdowns.
    Recapture device means an individual unit of equipment capable of 
and used for the purpose of recovering chemicals, but not normally for 
use, reuse, or sale. Recapture devices include, but are not limited to, 
absorbers, carbon absorbers, and condensers.
    Recovery device means an individual unit of equipment capable of and 
normally used for the purpose of recovering chemicals for fuel value 
(i.e., net positive heating value), use, reuse, or for sale for fuel 
value, use or reuse. Recovery devices include, but are not limited to, 
absorbers, carbon absorbers, and condensers. For purposes of the 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of this subpart, 
recapture devices are considered recovery devices.
    Repaired means that equipment:
    (1) Is adjusted, or otherwise altered, to eliminate a leak as 
defined in the applicable sections of this subpart, and
    (2) Unless otherwise specified in applicable provisions of this 
subpart, is monitored as specified in Sec.  63.180 (b) and (c), as 
appropriate, to verify that emissions from the equipment are below the 
applicable leak definition.
    Routed to a process or route to a process means the emissions are 
conveyed by hard-piping or a closed vent system to any enclosed portion 
of a process unit where the emissions are predominately recycled and/or 
consumed in the same manner as a material that fulfills the same 
function in the process; and/or transformed by chemical reaction into 
materials that are not organic hazardous air pollutants; and/or 
incorporated into a product; and/or recovered.
    Sampling connection system means an assembly of equipment within a 
process unit used during periods of representative operation to take 
samples of the process fluid. Equipment used to take non-routine grab 
samples is not considered a sampling connection system.
    Screwed connector means a threaded pipe fitting where the threads 
are cut on the pipe wall and the fitting requires only two pieces to 
make the connection (i.e., the pipe and the fitting).
    Sensor means a device that measures a physical quantity or the 
change in a physical quantity, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, 
pH, or liquid level.
    Set pressure means the pressure at which a properly operating 
pressure relief device begins to open to relieve atypical process system 
operating pressure.
    Start-up means the setting in operation of a piece of equipment or a 
control device that is subject to this subpart.
    Surge control vessel means feed drums, recycle drums, and 
intermediate vessels. Surge control vessels are used within a process 
unit (as defined in the specific subpart that references this subpart) 
when in-process storage, mixing, or management of flow rates or volumes 
is needed to assist in production of a product.

Sec.  63.162  Standards: General.

    (a) Compliance with this subpart will be determined by review of the 
records required by Sec.  63.181 of this subpart and the reports 
required by Sec.  63.182 of this subpart, review of performance test 
results, and by inspections.
    (b)(1) An owner or operator may request a determination of 
alternative means of emission limitation to the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.  63.163 through 63.170,

[[Page 393]]

and Sec. Sec.  63.172 through 63.174 of this subpart as provided in 
Sec.  63.177.
    (2) If the Administrator makes a determination that a means of 
emission limitation is a permissible alternative to the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.  63.163 through 63.170, and Sec. Sec.  63.172 through 63.174 
of this subpart, the owner or operator shall comply with the 
alternative.
    (c) Each piece of equipment in a process unit to which this subpart 
applies shall be identified such that it can be distinguished readily 
from equipment that is not subject to this subpart. Identification of 
the equipment does not require physical tagging of the equipment. For 
example, the equipment may be identified on a plant site plan, in log 
entries, or by designation of process unit boundaries by some form of 
weatherproof identification.
    (d) Equipment that is in vacuum service is excluded from the 
requirements of this subpart.
    (e) Equipment that is in organic HAP service less than 300 hours per 
calendar year is excluded from the requirements of Sec. Sec.  63.163 
through 63.174 of this subpart and Sec.  63.178 of this subpart if it is 
identified as required in Sec.  63.181(j) of this subpart.
    (f) When each leak is detected as specified in Sec. Sec.  63.163 and 
63.164; Sec. Sec.  63.168 and 63.169; and Sec. Sec.  63.172 through 
63.174 of this subpart, the following requirements apply:
    (1) Clearly identify the leaking equipment.
    (2) The identification on a valve may be removed after it has been 
monitored as specified in Sec. Sec.  63.168(f)(3), and 
63.175(e)(7)(i)(D) of this subpart, and no leak has been detected during 
the follow-up monitoring. If the owner or operator elects to comply 
using the provisions of Sec.  63.174(c)(1)(i) of this subpart, the 
identification on a connector may be removed after it is monitored as 
specified in Sec.  63.174(c)(1)(i) and no leak is detected during that 
monitoring.
    (3) The identification which has been placed on equipment determined 
to have a leak, except for a valve or for a connector that is subject to 
the provisions of Sec.  63.174(c)(1)(i), may be removed after it is 
repaired.
    (g) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(1) of this section, all 
terms in this subpart that define a period of time for completion of 
required tasks (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual), refer to the 
standard calendar periods unless specified otherwise in the section or 
subsection that imposes the requirement.
    (1) If the initial compliance date does not coincide with the 
beginning of the standard calendar period, an owner or operator may 
elect to utilize a period beginning on the compliance date, or may elect 
to comply in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (g)(2) or 
(g)(3) of this section.
    (2) Time periods specified in this subpart for completion of 
required tasks may be changed by mutual agreement between the owner or 
operator and the Administrator, as specified in subpart A of this part. 
For each time period that is changed by agreement, the revised period 
shall remain in effect until it is changed. A new request is not 
necessary for each recurring period.
    (3) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this 
section, where the period specified for compliance is a standard 
calendar period, if the initial compliance date does not coincide with 
the beginning of the calendar period, compliance shall be required 
according to the schedule specified in paragraphs (g)(3)(i) or 
(g)(3)(ii) of this section, as appropriate.
    (i) Compliance shall be required before the end of the standard 
calendar period within which the compliance deadline occurs, if there 
remain at least 3 days for tasks that must be performed weekly, at least 
2 weeks for tasks that must be performed monthly, at least 1 month for 
tasks that must be performed each quarter, or at least 3 months for 
tasks that must be performed annually; or
    (ii) In all other cases, compliance shall be required before the end 
of the first full standard calendar period after the period within which 
the initial compliance deadline occurs.
    (4) In all instances where a provision of this subpart requires 
completion of a task during each of multiple successive periods, an 
owner or operator may perform the required task at any time during each 
period, provided the task is conducted at a reasonable interval

[[Page 394]]

after completion of the task during the previous period.
    (h) In all cases where the provisions of this subpart require an 
owner or operator to repair leaks by a specified time after the leak is 
detected, it is a violation of this subpart to fail to take action to 
repair the leaks within the specified time. If action is taken to repair 
the leaks within the specified time, failure of that action to 
successfully repair the leak is not a violation of this subpart. 
However, if the repairs are unsuccessful, a leak is detected and the 
owner or operator shall take further action as required by applicable 
provisions of this subpart.

where:

%VL = Percent leaking valves as determined through periodic 
          monitoring required in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this 
          section.
VL = Number of valves found leaking excluding nonrepairables 
          as provided in paragraph (e)(3)(i) of this section.
VT = Total valves monitored, in a monitoring period excluding 
          valves monitored as required by (f)(3) of this section.
VC = Optional credit for removed valves = 0.67 x net number 
          (i.e., total removed-total added) of valves in organic HAP 
          service removed from process unit after the date set forth in 
          Sec.  63.100(k) of subpart F for existing process units, and 
          after the date of initial start-up for new sources. If credits 
          are not taken, then VC = 0.

    (2) For use in determining monitoring frequency, as specified in 
paragraph (d) of this section, the percent leaking valves shall be 
calculated as a rolling average of two consecutive monitoring periods 
for monthly, quarterly, or semiannual monitoring programs; and as an 
average of any three out of four consecutive monitoring periods for 
annual monitoring programs.
    (3)(i) Nonrepairable valves shall be included in the calculation of 
percent leaking valves the first time the valve is identified as leaking 
and nonrepairable and as required to comply with paragraph (e)(3)(ii) of 
this section. Otherwise, a number of nonrepairable valves (identified 
and included in the percent leaking calculation in a previous period) up 
to a maximum of 1 percent of the total number of valves in organic HAP 
service at a process unit may be excluded from calculation of percent 
leaking valves for subsequent monitoring periods.
    (ii) If the number of nonrepairable valves exceeds 1 percent of the 
total number of valves in organic HAP service at a process unit, the 
number of nonrepairable valves exceeding 1 percent of the total number 
of valves in organic HAP service shall be included in the calculation of 
percent leaking valves.
    (f)(1) When a leak is detected, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable, but no later than 15 calendar days after the leak is 
detected, except as provided in Sec.  63.171 of this subpart.
    (2) A first attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 calendar 
days after each leak is detected.
    (3) When a leak has been repaired, the valve shall be monitored at 
least once within the first 3 months after its repair.

(b) and (c), as appropriate, to determine whether the valve has resumed 
leaking.

[[Page 400]]

    (ii) Periodic monitoring required by paragraphs (b) through (d) of 
this section may be used to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph 
(f)(3), if the timing of the monitoring period coincides with the time 
specified in this paragraph (f)(3). Alternatively, other monitoring may 
be performed to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph (f)(3), 
regardless of whether the timing of the monitoring period for periodic 
monitoring coincides with the time specified in this paragraph (f)(3).
    (iii) If a leak is detected by monitoring that is conducted pursuant 
to paragraph (f)(3) of this section, the owner or operator shall follow 
the provisions of paragraphs (f)(3)(iii)(A) and (f)(3)(iii)(B) of this 
section, to determine whether that valve must be counted as a leaking 
valve for purposes of Sec.  63.168(e) of this subpart.
    (A) If the owner or operator elected to use periodic monitoring 
required by paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section to satisfy the 
requirements of paragraph (f)(3) of this section, then the valve shall 
be counted as a leaking valve.
    (B) If the owner or operator elected to use other monitoring, prior 
to the periodic monitoring required by paragraphs (b) through (d) of 
this section, to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (f)(3) of this 
section, then the valve shall be counted as a leaking valve unless it is 
repaired and shown by periodic monitoring not to be leaking.
    (g) First attempts at repair include, but are not limited to, the 
following practices where practicable:
    (1) Tightening of bonnet bolts,
    (2) Replacement of bonnet bolts,

    (4) Injection of lubricant into lubricated packing.
    (h) Any valve that is designated, as described in Sec.  
63.181(b)(7)(i) of this subpart, as an unsafe-to-monitor valve is exempt 
from the requirements of paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section if:
    (1) The owner or operator of the valve determines that the valve is 
unsafe to monitor because monitoring personnel would be exposed to an 
immediate danger as a consequence of complying with paragraphs (b) 
through (d) of this section; and
    (2) The owner or operator of the valve has a written plan that 
requires monitoring of the valve as frequently as practicable during 
safe-to-monitor times, but not more frequently than the periodic 
monitoring schedule otherwise applicable.
    (i) Any valve that is designated, as described in Sec.  
63.181(b)(7)(ii) of this subpart, as a difficult-to-monitor valve is 
exempt from the requirements of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this 
section if:
    (1) The owner or operator of the valve determines that the valve 
cannot be monitored without elevating the monitoring personnel more than 
2 meters above a support surface or it is not accessible at anytime in a 
safe manner;
    (2) The process unit within which the valve is located is an 
existing source or the owner or operator designates less than 3 percent 
of the total number of valves in a new source as difficult-to-monitor; 
and
    (3) The owner or operator of the valve follows a written plan that 
requires monitoring of the valve at least once per calendar year.
    (j) Any equipment located at a plant site with fewer than 250 valves 
in organic HAP service is exempt from the requirements for monthly 
monitoring and a quality improvement program specified in paragraph 
(d)(1) of this section. Instead, the owner or operator shall monitor 
each valve in organic HAP service for leaks once each quarter, or comply 
with paragraph (d)(3) or (d)(4) of this section except as provided in 
paragraphs (h) and (i) of this section.

service, pressure relief devices in light liquid or heavy liquid 
service, and instrumentation systems shall be monitored within 5 
calendar days by the method specified in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart 
if evidence of a potential leak to the atmosphere is

[[Page 401]]

found by visual, audible, olfactory, or any other detection method. If 
such a potential leak is repaired as required in paragraphs (c) and (d) 
of this section, it is not necessary to monitor the system for leaks by 
the method specified in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart.
    (b) If an instrument reading of 10,000 parts per million or greater 
for agitators, 5,000 parts per million or greater for pumps handling 
polymerizing monomers, 2,000 parts per million or greater for all other 
pumps (including pumps in food/medical service), or 500 parts per 
million or greater for valves, connectors, instrumentation systems, and 
pressure relief devices is measured, a leak is detected.
    (c)(1) When a leak is detected, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable, but not later than 15 calendar days after it is detected, 
except as provided in Sec.  63.171 of this subpart.
    (2) The first attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 
calendar days after each leak is detected.
    (3) For equipment identified in paragraph (a) of this section that 
is not monitored by the method specified in Sec.  63.180(b), repaired 
shall mean that the visual, audible, olfactory, or other indications of 
a leak to the atmosphere have been eliminated; that no bubbles are 
observed at potential leak sites during a leak check using soap 
solution; or that the system will hold a test pressure.
    (d) First attempts at repair include, but are not limited to, the 
practices described under Sec. Sec.  63.163(c)(2) and 63.168(g) of this 
subpart, for pumps and valves, respectively.

Sec.  63.171  Standards: Delay of repair.

    (a) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed if repair within 15 days is technically infeasible without a 
process unit shutdown. Repair of this equipment shall occur by the end 
of the next process unit shutdown.
    (b) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed for equipment that is isolated from the process and that does 
not remain in organic HAP service.
    (c) Delay of repair for valves, connectors, and agitators is also 
allowed if:
    (1) The owner or operator determines that emissions of purged 
material resulting from immediate repair would be greater than the 
fugitive emissions likely to result from delay of repair, and
    (2) When repair procedures are effected, the purged material is 
collected and destroyed or recovered in a control device complying with 
Sec.  63.172 of this subpart.
    (d) Delay of repair for pumps is also allowed if:
    (1) Repair requires replacing the existing seal design with a new 
system that the owner or operator has determined under the provisions of 
Sec.  63.176(d) of this subpart will provide better performance or:
    (i) A dual mechanical seal system that meets the requirements of 
Sec.  63.163(e) of this subpart,
    (ii) A pump that meets the requirements of Sec.  63.163(f) of this 
subpart, or
    (iii) A closed-vent system and control device that meets the 
requirements of Sec.  63.163(g) of this subpart; and
    (2) Repair is completed as soon as practicable, but not later than 6 
months after the leak was detected.
    (e) Delay of repair beyond a process unit shutdown will be allowed 
for a valve if valve assembly replacement is necessary during the 
process unit shutdown, valve assembly supplies have

[[Page 402]]

been depleted, and valve assembly supplies had been sufficiently stocked 
before the supplies were depleted. Delay of repair beyond the second 
process unit shutdown will not be allowed unless the third process unit 
shutdown occurs sooner than 6 months after the first process unit 
shutdown.

Sec.  63.174  Standards: Connectors in gas/vapor service and in light 
liquid service.

    (a) The owner or operator of a process unit subject to this subpart 
shall monitor all connectors in gas/vapor and light liquid service, 
except as provided in Sec.  63.162(b) of this subpart, and in paragraphs 
(f) through (h) of this section, at the intervals specified in paragraph 
(b) of this section.
    (1) The connectors shall be monitored to detect leaks by the method 
specified in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart.
    (2) If an instrument reading greater than or equal to 500 parts per 
million is measured, a leak is detected.
    (b) The owner or operator shall monitor for leaks at the intervals 
specified in either paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section and in 
paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
    (1) For each group of existing process units within an existing 
source, by no later than 12 months after the compliance date, the owner 
or operator shall monitor all connectors, except as provided in 
paragraphs (f) through (h) of this section.
    (2) For new sources, within the first 12 months after initial start-
up or by no later than 12 months after the date of promulgation of a 
specific subpart that references this subpart, whichever is later, the 
owner or operator shall monitor all connectors, except as provided in 
paragraphs (f) through (h) of this section.
    (3) After conducting the initial survey required in paragraph (b)(1) 
or (b)(2) of this section, the owner or operator shall perform all 
subsequent monitoring of connectors at the frequencies specified in 
paragraphs (b)(3)(i) through (b)(3)(v) of this section, except as 
provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section:
    (i) Once per year (i.e., 12-month period), if the percent leaking 
connectors in the process unit was 0.5 percent or greater during the 
last required annual or biennial monitoring period.
    (ii) Once every 2 years, if the percent leaking connectors was less 
than 0.5 percent during the last required monitoring period. An owner or 
operator may comply with this paragraph by monitoring at least 40 
percent of the connectors in the first year and the remainder of the 
connectors in the second year. The percent leaking connectors will be 
calculated for the total of all monitoring performed during the 2-year 
period.
    (iii) If the owner or operator of a process unit in a biennial leak 
detection and repair program calculates less than 0.5 percent leaking 
connectors from the 2-year monitoring period, the owner or operator may 
monitor the connectors one time every 4 years. An owner or operator may 
comply with the requirements of this paragraph by monitoring at least 20 
percent of the connectors each year until all connectors have been 
monitored within 4 years.
    (iv) If a process unit complying with the requirements of paragraph 
(b) of this section using a 4-year monitoring interval program has 
greater than or equal to 0.5 percent but less than 1 percent leaking 
connectors, the owner or operator shall increase the monitoring 
frequency to one time every 2 years. An owner or operator may comply 
with the requirements of this paragraph by monitoring at least 40 
percent of the connectors in the first year and the remainder of the 
connectors in the second year. The owner or operator may again elect to 
use the provisions of paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section when the 
percent leaking connectors decreases to less than 0.5 percent.
    (v) If a process unit complying with requirements of paragraph 
(b)(3)(iii) of

[[Page 406]]

this section using a 4-year monitoring interval program has 1 percent or 
greater leaking connectors, the owner or operator shall increase the 
monitoring frequency to one time per year. The owner or operator may 
again elect to use the provisions of paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this 
section when the percent leaking connectors decreases to less than 0.5 
percent.
    (4) The use of monitoring data generated before April 22, 1994 to 
qualify for less frequent monitoring is governed by the provisions of 
Sec.  63.180(b)(6).
    (c)(1)(i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this 
section, each connector that has been opened or has otherwise had the 
seal broken shall be monitored for leaks when it is reconnected or 
within the first 3 months after being returned to organic hazardous air 
pollutants service. If the monitoring detects a leak, it shall be 
repaired according to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this section, 
unless it is determined to be nonrepairable, in which case it is counted 
as a nonrepairable connector for the purposes of paragraph (i)(2) of 
this section.
    (ii) As an alternative to the requirements in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of 
this section, an owner or operator may choose not to monitor connectors 
that have been opened or otherwise had the seal broken. In this case, 
the owner or operator may not count nonrepairable connectors for the 
purposes of paragraph (i)(2) of this section. The owner or operator 
shall calculate the percent leaking connectors for the monitoring 
periods described in paragraph (b) of this section, by setting the 
nonrepairable component, CAN, in the equation in paragraph 
(i)(2) of this section to zero for all monitoring periods.
    (iii) An owner or operator may switch alternatives described in 
paragraphs (c)(1) (i) and (ii) of this section at the end of the current 
monitoring period he is in, provided that it is reported as required in 
Sec.  63.182 of this subpart and begin the new alternative in annual 
monitoring. The initial monitoring in the new alternative shall be 
completed no later than 12 months after reporting the switch.
    (2) As an alternative to the requirements of paragraph (b)(3) of 
this section, each screwed connector 2 inches or less in nominal inside 
diameter installed in a process unit before the dates specified in 
paragraph (c)(2)(iii) or (c)(2)(iv) of this section may:
    (i) Comply with the requirements of Sec.  63.169 of this subpart, 
and
    (ii) Be monitored for leaks within the first 3 months after being 
returned to organic hazardous air pollutants service after having been 
opened or otherwise had the seal broken. If that monitoring detects a 
leak, it shall be repaired according to the provisions of paragraph (d) 
of this section.
    (iii) For sources subject to subparts F and I of this part, the 
provisions of paragraph (c)(2) of this section apply to screwed 
connectors installed before December 31, 1992.
    (iv) For sources not identified in paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this 
section, the provisions of paragraph (c)(2) of this section apply to 
screwed connectors installed before the date of proposal of the 
applicable subpart of this part that references this subpart.
    (d) When a leak is detected, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable, but no later than 15 calendar days after the leak is 
detected, except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section and in 
Sec.  63.171 of this subpart. A first attempt at repair shall be made no 
later than 5 calendar days after the leak is detected.
    (e) [Reserved]
    (f) Any connector that is designated, as described in Sec.  
63.181(b)(7)(i) of this subpart, as an unsafe-to-monitor connector is 
exempt from the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section if:
    (1) The owner or operator determines that the connector is unsafe to 
monitor because personnel would be exposed to an immediate danger as a 
result of complying with paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section; and
    (2) The owner or operator has a written plan that requires 
monitoring of the connector as frequently as practicable during safe to 
monitor periods, but not more frequently than the periodic schedule 
otherwise applicable.
    (g) Any connector that is designated, as described in Sec.  
63.181(b)(7)(iii) of this

[[Page 407]]

subpart, as an unsafe-to-repair connector is exempt from the 
requirements of paragraphs (a), (d), and (e) of this section if:
    (1) The owner or operator determines that repair personnel would be 
exposed to an immediate danger as a consequence of complying with 
paragraph (d) of this section; and
    (2) The connector will be repaired before the end of the next 
scheduled process unit shutdown.
    (h)(1) Any connector that is inaccessible or is ceramic or ceramic-
lined (e.g., porcelain, glass, or glass-lined), is exempt from the 
monitoring requirements of paragraphs (a) and (c) of this section and 
from the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of Sec.  63.181 and 
Sec.  63.182 of this subpart. An inaccessible connector is one that is:
    (i) Buried;
    (ii) Insulated in a manner that prevents access to the connector by 
a monitor probe;
    (iii) Obstructed by equipment or piping that prevents access to the 
connector by a monitor probe;
    (iv) Unable to be reached from a wheeled scissor-lift or hydraulic-
type scaffold which would allow access to connectors up to 7.6 meters 
(25 feet) above the ground;
    (v) Inaccessible because it would require elevating the monitoring 
personnel more than 2 meters above a permanent support surface or would 
require the erection of scaffold; or
    (vi) Not able to be accessed at any time in a safe manner to perform 
monitoring. Unsafe access includes, but is not limited to, the use of a 
wheeled scissor-lift on unstable or uneven terrain, the use of a 
motorized man-lift basket in areas where an ignition potential exists, 
or access would require near proximity to hazards such as electrical 
lines, or would risk damage to equipment.
    (2) If any inaccessible or ceramic or ceramic-lined connector is 
observed by visual, audible, olfactory, or other means to be leaking, 
the leak shall be repaired as soon as practicable, but no later than 15 
calendar days after the leak is detected, except as provided in Sec.  
63.171 of this subpart and paragraph (g) of this section.
    (3) A first attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 calendar 
days after the leak is detected.
    (i) For use in determining the monitoring frequency, as specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section, the percent leaking connectors shall be 
calculated as specified in paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this section.
    (1) For the first monitoring period, use the following equation:

% CL = CL/(Ct + CC) x 100

where:

% CL = Percent leaking connectors as determined through 
          periodic monitoring required in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
          section.
CL = Number of connectors measured at 500 parts per million 
          or greater, by the method specified in Sec.  63.180(b) of this 
          subpart.
Ct = Total number of monitored connectors in the process 
          unit.
CC = Optional credit for removed connectors = 0.67 x net 
          (i.e., total removed--total added) number of connectors in 
          organic hazardous air pollutants service removed from the 
          process unit after the compliance date set forth in the 
          applicable subpart for existing process units, and after the 
          date of initial start-up for new process units. If credits are 
          not taken, then CC = 0.

    (2) For subsequent monitoring periods, use the following equation:

% CL = [(CL- CAN)/(Ct + 
CC)] x 100

where:

% CL = Percent leaking connectors as determined through 
          periodic monitoring required in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
          section.
CL = Number of connectors, including nonrepairables, measured 
          at 500 parts per million or greater, by the method specified 
          in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart.
CAN = Number of allowable nonrepairable connectors, as 
          determined by monitoring required in paragraphs (b)(3) and (c) 
          of this section, not to exceed 2 percent of the total 
          connector population, Ct.
Ct = Total number of monitored connectors, including 
          nonrepairables, in the process unit.
CC = Optional credit for removed connectors = 0.67 x net 
          number (i.e., total removed--total added) of connectors in 
          organic hazardous air pollutants service removed from the 
          process unit after the compliance date set forth in the 
          applicable subpart for existing process units, and after

[[Page 408]]

          the date of initial start-up for new process units. If credits 
          are not taken, then CC = 0.

    (j) Optional credit for removed connectors. If an owner or operator 
eliminates a connector subject to monitoring under paragraph (b) of this 
section, the owner or operator may receive credit for elimination of the 
connector, as described in paragraph (i) of this section, provided the 
requirements in paragraphs (j)(1) through (j)(4) are met.
    (1) The connector was welded after the date of proposal of the 
specific subpart that references this subpart.
    (2) The integrity of the weld is demonstrated by monitoring it 
according to the procedures in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart or by 
testing using X-ray, acoustic monitoring, hydrotesting, or other 
applicable method.
    (3) Welds created after the date of proposal but before the date of 
promulgation of a specific subpart that references this subpart are 
monitored or tested by 3 months after the compliance date specified in 
the applicable subpart.
    (4) Welds created after promulgation of the subpart that references 
this subpart are monitored or tested within 3 months after being welded.
    (5) If an inadequate weld is found or the connector is not welded 
completely around the circumference, the connector is not considered a 
welded connector and is therefore not exempt from the provisions of this 
subpart.

Sec.  63.175  Quality improvement program for valves.

    (a) In Phase III, an owner or operator may elect to comply with one 
of the alternative quality improvement programs specified in paragraphs 
(d) and (e) of this section. The decision to use one of these 
alternative provisions to comply with the requirements of Sec.  
63.168(d)(1)(ii) of this subpart must be made during the first year of 
Phase III for existing process units and for new process units.
    (b) An owner or operator of a process unit subject to the 
requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this section shall comply with 
those requirements until the process unit has fewer than 2 percent 
leaking valves, calculated as a rolling average of 2 consecutive 
quarters, as specified in Sec.  63.168(e) of this subpart.
    (c) After the process unit has fewer than 2 percent leaking valves, 
the owner or operator may elect to comply with the requirements in Sec.  
63.168 of this subpart, to continue to comply with the requirements in 
paragraph (e) (or (d), if appropriate) of this section, or comply with 
both the requirements in Sec.  63.168 and Sec.  63.175.
    (1) If the owner or operator elects to continue the quality 
improvement program, the owner or operator is exempt from the 
requirements for performance trials as specified in paragraph (e)(6) of 
this section, or further progress as specified in paragraph (d)(4) of 
this section, as long as the process unit has fewer than 2 percent 
leaking valves calculated according to Sec.  63.168(e).
    (2) If the owner or operator elects to comply with both paragraph 
(e) of this section and Sec.  63.168 of this subpart, he may also take 
advantage of the lower monitoring frequencies associated with lower leak 
rates in Sec.  63.168 (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4) of this subpart.
    (3) If the owner or operator elects not to continue the quality 
improvement program, the program is no longer an option if the process 
unit again exceeds 2 percent leaking valves, and in such case, monthly 
monitoring will be required.
    (d) The following requirements shall be met if an owner or operator 
elects to use a quality improvement program to demonstrate further 
progress:
    (1) The owner or operator shall continue to comply with the 
requirements in Sec.  63.168 of this subpart except each valve shall be 
monitored quarterly.
    (2) The owner or operator shall collect the following data, and 
maintain records as required in Sec.  63.181(h)(1) of this subpart, for 
each valve in each process unit subject to the quality improvement 
program:
    (i) The maximum instrument reading observed in each monitoring 
observation before repair, the response factor for the stream if 
appropriate, the instrument model number, and date of the observation.

[[Page 409]]

    (ii) Whether the valve is in gas or light liquid service.
    (iii) If a leak is detected, the repair methods used and the 
instrument readings after repair.
    (3) The owner or operator shall continue to collect data on the 
valves as long as the process unit remains in the quality improvement 
program.
    (4) The owner or operator must demonstrate progress in reducing the 
percent leaking valves each quarter the process unit is subject to the 
requirements of paragraph (d) of this section, except as provided in 
paragraphs (d)(4)(ii) and (d)(4)(iii) of this section.
    (i) Demonstration of progress shall mean that for each quarter there 
is at least a 10-percent reduction in the percent leaking valves from 
the percent leaking valves determined for the preceding monitoring 
period. The percent leaking valves shall be calculated as a rolling 
average of two consecutive quarters of monitoring data. The percent 
reduction shall be calculated using the rolling average percent leaking 
valves, according to the following:

%LVR = (%LVAVG1 - %LVAVG2 / 
%LVAVG1 x 100

where:

%LVR = Percent leaking valve reduction.
%LVAVG1 = (%VLi + %VLi = 1)/2.
%LVAVG2 = (%VLi = 1 + %VLi = 2)/2.

where:

%VLi, %VLi = 1, %VLi = 2 are percent 
          leaking valves calculated for subsequent monitoring periods, 
          i, i + 1, i + 2.

    (ii) An owner or operator who fails for two consecutive rolling 
averages to demonstrate at least a 10-percent reduction per quarter in 
percent leaking valves, and whose overall average percent reduction 
based on two or more rolling averages is less than 10 percent per 
quarter, shall either comply with the requirements in Sec.  
63.168(d)(1)(i) of this subpart using monthly monitoring or shall comply 
using a quality improvement program for technology review as specified 
in paragraph (e) of this section. If the owner or operator elects to 
comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) of this section, the 
schedule for performance trials and valve replacements remains as 
specified in paragraph (e) of this section.
    (iii) As an alternative to the provisions in paragraph (d)(4)(i), an 
owner or operator may use the procedure specified in paragraphs 
(d)(4)(iii)(A) and (d)(4)(iii)(B) of this section to demonstrate 
progress in reducing the percent leaking valves.
    (A) The percent reduction that must be achieved each quarter shall 
be calculated as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.293

%RR = percent reduction required each quarter, as calculated according 
          to Sec.  63.168(e)
%VL = percent leaking valves, calculated according to Sec.  
          63.168(e), at the time elected to use provisions of Sec.  
          63.168(d)(1)(ii)

    (B) The owner or operator shall achieve less than 2 percent leaking 
valves no later than 2 years after electing to use the demonstration of 
progress provisions in Sec.  63.175(d) of this subpart.
    (e) The following requirements shall be met if an owner or operator 
elects to use a quality improvement program of technology review and 
improvement:
    (1) The owner or operator shall comply with the requirements in 
Sec.  63.168 of this subpart except the requirement for monthly 
monitoring in Sec.  63.168(d)(1)(i) of this subpart does not apply.
    (2) The owner or operator shall collect the data specified below, 
and maintain records as required in Sec.  63.181(h)(2), for each valve 
in each process unit subject to the quality improvement program. The 
data may be collected and the records may be maintained on a process 
unit or group of process units basis. The data shall include the 
following:
    (i) Valve type (e.g., ball, gate, check); valve manufacturer; valve 
design (e.g., external stem or actuating mechanism, flanged body); 
materials of construction; packing material; and year installed.
    (ii) Service characteristics of the stream such as operating 
pressure, temperature, line diameter, and corrosivity.
    (iii) Whether the valve is in gas or light liquid service.
    (iv) The maximum instrument readings observed in each monitoring 
observation before repair, response factor

[[Page 410]]

for the stream if adjusted, instrument model number, and date of the 
observation.
    (v) If a leak is detected, the repair methods used and the 
instrument readings after repair.
    (vi) If the data will be analyzed as part of a larger analysis 
program involving data from other plants or other types of process 
units, a description of any maintenance or quality assurance programs 
used in the process unit that are intended to improve emission 
performance.
    (3) The owner or operator shall continue to collect data on the 
valves as long as the process unit remains in the quality improvement 
program.
    (4) The owner or operator shall inspect all valves removed from the 
process unit due to leaks. The inspection shall determine which parts of 
the valve have failed and shall include recommendations, as appropriate, 
for design changes or changes in specifications to reduce leak 
potential.
    (5)(i) The owner or operator shall analyze the data collected to 
comply with the requirements of paragraph (e)(2) of this section to 
determine the services, operating or maintenance practices, and valve 
designs or technologies that have poorer than average emission 
performance and those that have better than average emission 
performance. The analysis shall determine if specific trouble areas can 
be identified on the basis of service, operating conditions or 
maintenance practices, equipment design, or other process specific 
factors.
    (ii) The analysis shall also be used to identify any superior 
performing valve technologies that are applicable to the service(s), 
operating conditions, or valve designs associated with poorer than 
average emission performance. A superior performing valve technology is 
one for which a group of such valves has a leak frequency of less than 2 
percent for specific applications in such a process unit. A candidate 
superior performing valve technology is one demonstrated or reported in 
the available literature or through a group study as having low emission 
performance and as being capable of achieving less than 2 percent 
leaking valves in the process unit.
    (iii) The analysis shall include consideration of:
    (A) The data obtained from the inspections of valves removed from 
the process unit due to leaks,
    (B) Information from the available literature and from the 
experience of other plant sites that will identify valve designs or 
technologies and operating conditions associated with low emission 
performance for specific services, and
    (C) Information on limitations on the service conditions for the 
valve design and operating conditions as well as information on 
maintenance procedures to ensure continued low emission performance.
    (iv) The data analysis may be conducted through an inter- or intra-
company program (or through some combination of the two approaches) and 
may be for a single process unit, a company, or a group of process 
units.
    (v) The first analysis of the data shall be completed no later than 
18 months after the start of Phase III. The first analysis shall be 
performed using a minimum of two quarters of data. An analysis of the 
data shall be done each year the process unit is in the quality 
improvement program.
    (6) A trial evaluation program shall be conducted at each plant site 
for which the data analysis does not identify superior performing valve 
designs or technologies that can be applied to the operating conditions 
and services identified as having poorer than average performance, 
except as provided in paragraph (e)(6)(v) of this section. The trial 
program shall be used to evaluate the feasibility of using in the 
process unit the valve designs or technologies that have been identified 
by others as having low emission performance.
    (i) The trial program shall include on-line trials of valves or 
operating and maintenance practices that have been identified in the 
available literature or in analysis by others as having the ability to 
perform with leak rates below 2 percent in similar services, as having 
low probability of failure, or as having no external actuating mechanism 
in contact with the process fluid. If any of the candidate superior 
performing valve technologies is not included in the performance trials, 
the

[[Page 411]]

reasons for rejecting specific technologies from consideration shall be 
documented as required in Sec.  63.181(h)(5)(ii) of this subpart.
    (ii) The number of valves in the trial evaluation program shall be 
the lesser of 1 percent or 20 valves for programs involving single 
process units and the lesser of 1 percent or 50 valves for programs 
involving groups of process units.
    (iii) The trial evaluation program shall specify and include 
documentation of:
    (A) The candidate superior performing valve designs or technologies 
to be evaluated, the stages for evaluating the identified candidate 
valve designs or technologies, including the estimated time period 
necessary to test the applicability;
    (B) The frequency of monitoring or inspection of the equipment;
    (C) The range of operating conditions over which the component will 
be evaluated; and
    (D) Conclusions regarding the emission performance and the 
appropriate operating conditions and services for the trial valves.
    (iv) The performance trials shall initially be conducted for, at 
least, a 6-month period beginning not later than 18 months after the 
start of Phase III. Not later than 24 months after the start of Phase 
III, the owner or operator shall have identified valve designs or 
technologies that, combined with appropriate process, operating, and 
maintenance practices, operate with low emission performance for 
specific applications in the process unit. The owner or operator shall 
continue to conduct performance trials as long as no superior performing 
design or technology has been identified, except as provided in 
paragraph (e)(6)(vi) of this section. The compilation of candidate and 
demonstrated superior emission performance valve designs or technologies 
shall be amended in the future, as appropriate, as additional 
information and experience is obtained.
    (v) Any plant site with fewer than 400 valves and owned by a 
corporation with fewer than 100 total employees shall be exempt from 
trial evaluations of valves. Plant sites exempt from the trial 
evaluations of valves shall begin the program at the start of the fourth 
year of Phase III.
    (vi) An owner or operator who has conducted performance trials on 
all candidate superior emission performance technologies suitable for 
the required applications in the process unit may stop conducting 
performance trials provided that a superior performing design or 
technology has been demonstrated or there are no technically feasible 
candidate superior technologies remaining. The owner or operator shall 
prepare an engineering evaluation documenting the physical, chemical, or 
engineering basis for the judgment that the superior emission 
performance technology is technically infeasible or demonstrating that 
it would not reduce emissions.
    (7) Each owner or operator who elects to use a quality improvement 
program for technology review and improvement shall prepare and 
implement a valve quality assurance program that details purchasing 
specifications and maintenance procedures for all valves in the process 
unit. The quality assurance program may establish any number of 
categories, or classes, of valves as needed to distinguish among 
operating conditions and services associated with poorer than average 
emission performance as well as those associated with better than 
average emission performance. The quality assurance program shall be 
developed considering the findings of the data analysis required under 
paragraph (e)(5) of this section, if applicable, the findings of the 
trial evaluation required in paragraph (e)(6) of this section, and the 
operating conditions in the process unit. The quality assurance program 
shall be reviewed and, as appropriate, updated each year as long as the 
process unit has 2 percent or more leaking valves.
    (i) The quality assurance program shall:
    (A) Establish minimum design standards for each category of valves. 
The design standards shall specify known critical parameters such as 
tolerance, manufacturer, materials of construction, previous usage, or 
other applicable identified critical parameters;
    (B) Require that all equipment orders specify the design standard 
(or minimum tolerances) for the valve;

[[Page 412]]

    (C) Include a written procedure for bench testing of valves that 
specifies performance criteria for acceptance of valves and specifies 
criteria for the precision and accuracy of the test apparatus. All 
valves repaired off-line after preparation of the quality assurance plan 
shall be bench-tested for leaks. This testing may be conducted by the 
owner or operator of the process unit, by the vendor, or by a designated 
representative. The owner or operator shall install only those valves 
that have been documented through bench-testing to be nonleaking.
    (D) Require that all valves repaired on-line be monitored using the 
method specified in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart for leaks for 2 
successive months, after repair.
    (E) Provide for an audit procedure for quality control of purchased 
equipment to ensure conformance with purchase specifications. The audit 
program may be conducted by the owner or operator of the process unit or 
by a designated representative.
    (F) Detail off-line valve maintenance and repair procedures. These 
procedures shall include provisions to ensure that rebuilt or 
refurbished valves will meet the design specifications for the valve 
type and will operate such that emissions are minimized.
    (ii) The quality assurance program shall be established no later 
than the start of the third year of Phase III for plant sites with 400 
or more valves or owned by a corporation with 100 or more employees; and 
no later than the start of the fourth year of Phase III for plant sites 
with less than 400 valves and owned by a corporation with less than 100 
employees.
    (8) Beginning at the start of the third year of Phase III for plant 
sites with 400 or more valves or owned by a corporation with 100 or more 
employees and at the start of the fourth year of Phase III for plant 
sites with less than 400 valves and owned by a corporation with less 
than 100 employees, each valve that is replaced for any reason shall be 
replaced with a new or modified valve that complies with the quality 
assurance standards for the valve category and that is identified as 
superior emission performance technology. Superior emission performance 
technology means valves or valve technologies identified with emission 
performance that, combined with appropriate process, operating, and 
maintenance practices, will result in less than 2 percent leaking valves 
for specific applications in a large population, except as provided in 
paragraph (e)(8)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The valves shall be maintained as specified in the quality 
assurance program.
    (ii) If a superior emission performance technology cannot be 
identified, then valve replacement shall be with one of (if several) the 
lowest emission performance technologies that has been identified for 
the specific application.

    (a) In Phase III, if, on a 6-month rolling average, the greater of 
either 10 percent of the pumps in a process unit (or plant site) or 
three pumps in a process unit (or plant site) leak, the owner or 
operator shall comply with the requirements of this section as specified 
below:
    (1) Pumps that are in food/medical service or in polymerizing 
monomer service shall comply with all requirements except for those 
specified in paragraph (d)(8) of this section.
    (2) Pumps that are not in food/medical or polymerizing monomer 
service shall comply with all requirements of this section.
    (b) The owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of this 
section until the number of leaking pumps is less than the greater of 
either 10 percent of the pumps or three pumps, calculated as a 6-month 
rolling average, in the process unit (or plant site). Once the 
performance level is achieved, the owner or operator shall comply with 
the requirements in Sec.  63.163 of this subpart.
    (c) If in a subsequent monitoring period, the process unit (or plant 
site) has greater than 10 percent of the pumps leaking or three pumps 
leaking

[[Page 413]]

(calculated as a 6-month rolling average), the owner or operator shall 
resume the quality improvement program starting at performance trials.
    (d) The quality improvement program shall include the following:
    (1) The owner or operator shall comply with the requirements in 
Sec.  63.163 of this subpart.
    (2) The owner or operator shall collect the following data, and 
maintain records as required in Sec.  63.181(h)(3), for each pump in 
each process unit (or plant site) subject to the quality improvement 
program. The data may be collected and the records may be maintained on 
a process unit or plant site basis.
    (i) Pump type (e.g., piston, horizontal or vertical centrifugal, 
gear, bellows); pump manufacturer; seal type and manufacturer; pump 
design (e.g., external shaft, flanged body); materials of construction; 
if applicable, barrier fluid or packing material; and year installed.
    (ii) Service characteristics of the stream such as discharge 
pressure, temperature, flow rate, corrosivity, and annual operating 
hours.
    (iii) The maximum instrument readings observed in each monitoring 
observation before repair, response factor for the stream if 
appropriate, instrument model number, and date of the observation.
    (iv) If a leak is detected, the repair methods used and the 
instrument readings after repair.
    (v) If the data will be analyzed as part of a larger analysis 
program involving data from other plants or other types of process 
units, a description of any maintenance or quality assurance programs 
used in the process unit that are intended to improve emission 
performance.
    (3) The owner or operator shall continue to collect data on the 
pumps as long as the process unit (or plant site) remains in the quality 
improvement program.
    (4) The owner or operator shall inspect all pumps or pump seals 
which exhibited frequent seal failures and were removed from the process 
unit due to leaks. The inspection shall determine the probable cause of 
the pump seal failure or of the pump leak and shall include 
recommendations, as appropriate, for design changes or changes in 
specifications to reduce leak potential.
    (5)(i) The owner or operator shall analyze the data collected to 
comply with the requirements of paragraph (d)(2) of this section to 
determine the services, operating or maintenance practices, and pump or 
pump seal designs or technologies that have poorer than average emission 
performance and those that have better than average emission 
performance. The analysis shall determine if specific trouble areas can 
be identified on the basis of service, operating conditions or 
maintenance practices, equipment design, or other process specific 
factors.
    (ii) The analysis shall also be used to determine if there are 
superior performing pump or pump seal technologies that are applicable 
to the service(s), operating conditions, or pump or pump seal designs 
associated with poorer than average emission performance. A superior 
performing pump or pump seal technology is one with a leak frequency of 
less than 10 percent for specific applications in the process unit or 
plant site. A candidate superior performing pump or pump seal technology 
is one demonstrated or reported in the available literature or through a 
group study as having low emission performance and as being capable of 
achieving less than 10 percent leaking pumps in the process unit (or 
plant site).
    (iii) The analysis shall include consideration of:
    (A) The data obtained from the inspections of pumps and pump seals 
removed from the process unit due to leaks;
    (B) Information from the available literature and from the 
experience of other plant sites that will identify pump designs or 
technologies and operating conditions associated with low emission 
performance for specific services; and
    (C) Information on limitations on the service conditions for the 
pump seal technology operating conditions as well as information on 
maintenance procedures to ensure continued low emission performance.

[[Page 414]]

    (iv) The data analysis may be conducted through an inter- or intra-
company program (or through some combination of the two approaches) and 
may be for a single process unit, a plant site, a company, or a group of 
process units.
    (v) The first analysis of the data shall be completed no later than 
18 months after the start of the quality improvement program. The first 
analysis shall be performed using a minimum of 6 months of data. An 
analysis of the data shall be done each year the process unit is in the 
quality improvement program.
    (6) A trial evaluation program shall be conducted at each plant site 
for which the data analysis does not identify use of superior performing 
pump seal technology or pumps that can be applied to the areas 
identified as having poorer than average performance, except as provided 
in paragraph (d)(6)(v) of this section. The trial program shall be used 
to evaluate the feasibility of using in the process unit (or plant site) 
the pump designs or seal technologies, and operating and maintenance 
practices that have been identified by others as having low emission 
performance.
    (i) The trial program shall include on-line trials of pump seal 
technologies or pump designs and operating and maintenance practices 
that have been identified in the available literature or in analysis by 
others as having the ability to perform with leak rates below 10 percent 
in similar services, as having low probability of failure, or as having 
no external actuating mechanism in contact with the process fluid. If 
any of the candidate superior performing pump seal technologies or pumps 
is not included in the performance trials, the reasons for rejecting 
specific technologies from consideration shall be documented as required 
in Sec.  63.181(h)(5)(ii).
    (ii) The number of pump seal technologies or pumps in the trial 
evaluation program shall be the lesser of 1 percent or two pumps for 
programs involving single process units and the lesser of 1 percent or 
five pumps for programs involving a plant site or groups of process 
units. The minimum number of pumps or pump seal technologies in a trial 
program shall be one.
    (iii) The trial evaluation program shall specify and include 
documentation of:
    (A) The candidate superior performing pump seal designs or 
technologies to be evaluated, the stages for evaluating the identified 
candidate pump designs or pump seal technologies, including the time 
period necessary to test the applicability;
    (B) The frequency of monitoring or inspection of the equipment;
    (C) The range of operating conditions over which the component will 
be evaluated; and
    (D) Conclusions regarding the emission performance and the 
appropriate operating conditions and services for the trial pump seal 
technologies or pumps.
    (iv) The performance trials shall initially be conducted, at least, 
for a 6-month period beginning not later than 18 months after the start 
of the quality improvement program. No later than 24 months after the 
start of the quality improvement program, the owner or operator shall 
have identified pump seal technologies or pump designs that, combined 
with appropriate process, operating, and maintenance practices, operate 
with low emission performance for specific applications in the process 
unit. The owner or operator shall continue to conduct performance trials 
as long as no superior performing design or technology has been 
identified, except as provided in paragraph (d)(6)(vi) of this section. 
The initial list of superior emission performance pump designs or pump 
seal technologies shall be amended in the future, as appropriate, as 
additional information and experience is obtained.
    (v) Any plant site with fewer than 400 valves and owned by a 
corporation with fewer than 100 employees shall be exempt from trial 
evaluations of pump seals or pump designs. Plant sites exempt from the 
trial evaluations of pumps shall begin the pump seal or pump replacement 
program at the start of the fourth year of the quality improvement 
program.

[[Page 415]]

    (vi) An owner or operator who has conducted performance trials on 
all alternative superior emission performance technologies suitable for 
the required applications in the process unit may stop conducting 
performance trials provided that a superior performing design or 
technology has been demonstrated or there are no technically feasible 
alternative superior technologies remaining. The owner or operator shall 
prepare an engineering evaluation documenting the physical, chemical, or 
engineering basis for the judgment that the superior emission 
performance technology is technically infeasible or demonstrating that 
it would not reduce emissions.
    (7) Each owner or operator shall prepare and implement a pump 
quality assurance program that details purchasing specifications and 
maintenance procedures for all pumps and pump seals in the process unit. 
The quality assurance program may establish any number of categories, or 
classes, of pumps as needed to distinguish among operating conditions 
and services associated with poorer than average emission performance as 
well as those associated with better than average emission performance. 
The quality assurance program shall be developed considering the 
findings of the data analysis required under paragraph (d)(5) of this 
section, if applicable, the findings of the trial evaluation required in 
paragraph (d)(6) of this section, and the operating conditions in the 
process unit. The quality assurance program shall be updated each year 
as long as the process unit has the greater of either 10 percent or more 
leaking pumps or has three leaking pumps.
    (i) The quality assurance program shall:
    (A) Establish minimum design standards for each category of pumps or 
pump seal technology. The design standards shall specify known critical 
parameters such as tolerance, manufacturer, materials of construction, 
previous usage, or other applicable identified critical parameters;
    (B) Require that all equipment orders specify the design standard 
(or minimum tolerances) for the pump or the pump seal;
    (C) Provide for an audit procedure for quality control of purchased 
equipment to ensure conformance with purchase specifications. The audit 
program may be conducted by the owner or operator of the plant site or 
process unit or by a designated representative; and
    (D) Detail off-line pump maintenance and repair procedures. These 
procedures shall include provisions to ensure that rebuilt or 
refurbished pumps and pump seals will meet the design specifications for 
the pump category and will operate such that emissions are minimized.
    (ii) The quality assurance program shall be established no later 
than the start of the third year of the quality improvement program for 
plant sites with 400 or more valves or 100 or more employees; and no 
later than the start of the fourth year of the quality improvement 
program for plant sites with less than 400 valves and less than 100 
employees.
    (8) Beginning at the start of the third year of the quality 
improvement program for plant sites with 400 or more valves or 100 or 
more employees and at the start of the fourth year of the quality 
improvement program for plant sites with less than 400 valves and less 
than 100 employees, the owner or operator shall replace, as described in 
paragraphs (d)(8)(i) and (d)(8)(ii) of this section, the pumps or pump 
seals that are not superior emission performance technology with pumps 
or pump seals that have been identified as superior emission performance 
technology and that comply with the quality assurance standards for the 
pump category. Superior emission performance technology is that category 
or design of pumps or pump seals with emission performance which, when 
combined with appropriate process, operating, and maintenance practices, 
will result in less than 10 percent leaking pumps for specific 
applications in the process unit or plant site. Superior emission 
performance technology includes material or design changes to the 
existing pump, pump seal, seal support system, installation of multiple 
mechanical seals or equivalent, or pump replacement.
    (i) Pumps or pump seals shall be replaced at the rate of 20 percent 
per year based on the total number of

[[Page 416]]

pumps in light liquid service. The calculated value shall be rounded to 
the nearest nonzero integer value. The minimum number of pumps or pump 
seals shall be one. Pump replacement shall continue until all pumps 
subject to the requirements of Sec.  63.163 of this subpart are pumps 
determined to be superior performance technology.
    (ii) The owner or operator may delay replacement of pump seals or 
pumps with superior technology until the next planned process unit 
shutdown, provided the number of pump seals and pumps replaced is 
equivalent to the 20 percent or greater annual replacement rate.
    (iii) The pumps shall be maintained as specified in the quality 
assurance program.



Sec.  63.177  Alternative means of emission limitation: General.

    (a) Permission to use an alternative means of emission limitation 
under section 112(h)(3) of the Act shall be governed by the following 
procedures in paragraphs (b) through (e) of this section.

limitation shall be demonstrated.
    (4) Each owner or operator applying for permission shall commit, in 
writing, for each kind of equipment to work practices that provide for 
emission reductions equal to or greater than the emission reductions 
achieved by the required work practices.
    (5) The Administrator will compare the demonstrated emission 
reduction for the alternative means of emission limitation to the 
demonstrated emission reduction for the required work practices and will 
consider the commitment in paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
    (6) The Administrator may condition the permission on requirements 
that may be necessary to ensure operation and maintenance to achieve the 
same or greater emission reduction as the required work practices of 
this subpart.

emissions of the organic HAP achieved by the equipment, design, and 
operational requirements of this subpart.
    (2) The Administrator will grant permission according to the 
provisions of paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section.



Sec.  63.178  Alternative means of emission limitation: Batch processes.

    (a) As an alternative to complying with the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.  63.163 through 63.171 and Sec. Sec.  63.173 through 63.176, 
an owner or operator of a batch process that operates in organic HAP 
service during the calendar year may

[[Page 417]]

comply with one of the standards specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of 
this section, or the owner or operator may petition for approval of an 
alternative standard under the provisions of Sec.  63.177 of this 
subpart. The alternative standards of this section provide the options 
of pressure testing or monitoring the equipment for leaks. The owner or 
operator may switch among the alternatives provided the change is 
documented as specified in Sec.  63.181.
    (b) The following requirements shall be met if an owner or operator 
elects to use pressure testing of batch product-process equipment to 
demonstrate compliance with this subpart. An owner or operator who 
complies with the provisions of this paragraph is exempt from the 
monitoring provisions of Sec.  63.163, Sec. Sec.  63.168 and 63.169, and 
Sec. Sec.  63.173 through 63.176 of this subpart.
    (1) Each time equipment is reconfigured for production of a 
different product or intermediate, the batch product-process equipment 
train shall be pressure-tested for leaks before organic HAP is first fed 
to the equipment and the equipment is placed in organic HAP service.
    (i) When the batch product-process train is reconfigured to produce 
a different product, pressure testing is required only for the new or 
disturbed equipment.
    (ii) Each batch product process that operates in organic HAP service 
during a calendar year shall be pressure tested at least once during 
that calendar year.
    (iii) Pressure testing is not required for routine seal breaks, such 
as changing hoses or filters, which are not part of the reconfiguration 
to produce a different product or intermediate.
    (2) The batch product process equipment shall be tested either using 
the procedures specified in Sec.  63.180(f) of this subpart for pressure 
or vacuum loss or with a liquid using the procedures specified in Sec.  
63.180(g) of this subpart.
    (3)(i) For pressure or vacuum tests, a leak is detected if the rate 
of change in pressure is greater than 6.9 kilopascals (1 psig) in 1 hour 
or if there is visible, audible, or olfactory evidence of fluid loss.
    (ii) For pressure tests using a liquid, a leak is detected if there 
are indications of liquids dripping or if there is other evidence of 
fluid loss.
    (4)(i) If a leak is detected, it shall be repaired and the batch 
product-process equipment shall be retested before start-up of the 
process.
    (ii) If a batch product-process fails the retest or the second of 
two consecutive pressure tests, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable, but not later than 30 calendar days after the second 
pressure test, provided the conditions specified in paragraph (d) of 
this section are met.
    (c) The following requirements shall be met if an owner or operator 
elects to monitor the equipment to detect leaks by the method specified 
in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart to demonstrate compliance with this 
subpart.
    (1) The owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.  63.163 through 63.170, and Sec. Sec.  63.172 through 63.176 
of this subpart.
    (2) The equipment shall be monitored for leaks by the method 
specified in Sec.  63.180(b) of this subpart when the equipment is in 
organic HAP service, in use with an acceptable surrogate volatile 
organic compound which is not an organic HAP, or is in use with any 
other detectable gas or vapor.
    (3) The equipment shall be monitored for leaks as specified below:
    (i) Each time the equipment is reconfigured for the production of a 
new product, the reconfigured equipment shall be monitored for leaks 
within 30 days of start-up of the process. This initial monitoring of 
reconfigured equipment shall not be included in determining percent 
leaking equipment in the process unit.
    (ii) Connectors shall be monitored in accordance with the 
requirements in Sec.  63.174 of this subpart.
    (iii) Equipment other than connectors shall be monitored at the 
frequencies specified in table 1 of this subpart. The operating time 
shall be determined as the proportion of the year the batch product-
process that is subject to the provisions of this subpart is operating.
    (iv) The monitoring frequencies specified in table 1 of this subpart 
are not requirements for monitoring at specific intervals and can be 
adjusted to accommodate process operations. An owner

[[Page 418]]

or operator may monitor anytime during the specified monitoring period 
(e.g., month, quarter, year), provided the monitoring is conducted at a 
reasonable interval after completion of the last monitoring campaign. 
For example, if the equipment is not operating during the scheduled 
monitoring period, the monitoring can be done during the next period 
when the process is operating.
    (4) If a leak is detected, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable but not later than 15 calendar days after it is detected, 
except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (d) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed if the replacement equipment is not available providing the 
following conditions are met:
    (1) Equipment supplies have been depleted and supplies had been 
sufficiently stocked before the supplies were depleted.
    (2) The repair is made no later than 10 calendar days after delivery 
of the replacement equipment.



Sec.  63.179  Alternative means of emission limitation: Enclosed-vented
process units.

    Process units enclosed in such a manner that all emissions from 
equipment leaks are vented through a closed-vent system to a control 
device meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.172 of this subpart are 
exempt from the requirements of Sec.  63.163, through 63.171, and 
Sec. Sec.  63.173 and 63.174 of this subpart. The enclosure shall be 
maintained under a negative pressure at all times while the process unit 
is in operation to ensure that all emissions are routed to a control 
device.



Sec.  63.180  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
shall comply with the test methods and procedures requirements provided 
in this section.
    (b) Monitoring, as required under this subpart, shall comply with 
the following requirements:
    (1) Monitoring shall comply with Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A.
    (2)(i) Except as provided for in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this 
section, the detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response 
factor criteria in Section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the 
average composition of the process fluid not each individual VOC in the 
stream. For process streams that contain nitrogen, water, air, or other 
inerts which are not organic HAP's or VOC's, the average stream response 
factor may be calculated on an inert-free basis. The response factor may 
be determined at any concentration for which monitoring for leaks will 
be conducted.
    (ii) If no instrument is available at the plant site that will meet 
the performance criteria specified in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this 
section, the instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying by the 
average response factor of the process fluid, calculated on an inert-
free basis as described in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section.
    (3) The instrument shall be calibrated before use on each day of its 
use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A.
    (4) Calibration gases shall be:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 parts per million of hydrocarbon in air); 
and
    (ii) Mixtures of methane in air at the concentrations specified in 
paragraphs (b)(4)(ii)(A) through (b)(4)(ii)(C) of this section. A 
calibration gas other than methane in air may be used if the instrument 
does not respond to methane or if the instrument does not meet the 
performance criteria specified in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section. 
In such cases, the calibration gas may be a mixture of one or more of 
the compounds to be measured in air.
    (A) For Phase I, a mixture of methane or other compounds, as 
applicable, in air at a concentration of approximately, but less than, 
10,000 parts per million.
    (B) For Phase II, a mixture of methane or other compounds, as 
applicable, and air at a concentration of approximately, but less than, 
10,000 parts per million for agitators, 5,000 parts per million for 
pumps, and 500 parts per million for all other equipment, except

[[Page 419]]

as provided in paragraph (b)(4)(iii) of this section.
    (C) For Phase III, a mixture of methane or other compounds, as 
applicable, and air at a concentration of approximately, but less than, 
10,000 parts per million methane for agitators; 2,000 parts per million 
for pumps in food/medical service; 5,000 parts per million for pumps in 
polymerizing monomer service; 1,000 parts per million for all other 
pumps; and 500 parts per million for all other equipment, except as 
provided in paragraph (b)(4)(iii) of this section.
    (iii) The instrument may be calibrated at a higher methane 
concentration than the concentration specified for that piece of 
equipment. The concentration of the calibration gas may exceed the 
concentration specified as a leak by no more than 2,000 parts per 
million. If the monitoring instrument's design allows for multiple 
calibration scales, then the lower scale shall be calibrated with a 
calibration gas that is no higher than 2,000 parts per million above the 
concentration specified as a leak and the highest scale shall be 
calibrated with a calibration gas that is approximately equal to 10,000 
parts per million. If only one scale on an instrument will be used 
during monitoring, the owner or operator need not calibrate the scales 
that will not be used during that day's monitoring.
    (5) Monitoring shall be performed when the equipment is in organic 
HAP service, in use with an acceptable surrogate volatile organic 
compound which is not an organic HAP, or is in use with any other 
detectable gas or vapor.
    (6) Monitoring data that do not meet the criteria specified in 
paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section may be used to qualify 
for less frequent monitoring under the provisions in Sec.  63.168(d)(2) 
and (d)(3) or Sec.  63.174(b)(3)(ii) or (b)(3)(iii) of this subpart 
provided the data meet the conditions specified in paragraphs (b)(6)(i) 
and (b)(6)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The data were obtained before April 22, 1994.
    (ii) The departures from the criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (b)(5) of this section or from the specified monitoring 
frequency of Sec.  63.168(c) are minor and do not significantly affect 
the quality of the data. Examples of minor departures are monitoring at 
a slightly different frequency (such as every six weeks instead of 
monthly or quarterly), following the performance criteria of section 
3.1.2(a) of Method 21 of appendix A of 40 CFR part 60 instead of 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section, or monitoring at a different leak 
definition if the data would indicate the presence or absence of a leak 
at the concentration specified in this subpart. Failure to use a 
calibrated instrument is not considered a minor departure.
    (c) When equipment is monitored for compliance as required in 
Sec. Sec.  63.164(i), 63.165(a), and 63.172(f) or when equipment subject 
to a leak definition of 500 ppm is monitored for leaks as required by 
this subpart, the owner or operator may elect to adjust or not to adjust 
the instrument readings for background. If an owner or operator elects 
to not adjust instrument readings for background, the owner or operator 
shall monitor the equipment according to the procedures specified in 
paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this section. In such case, all 
instrument readings shall be compared directly to the applicable leak 
definition to determine whether there is a leak. If an owner or operator 
elects to adjust instrument readings for background, the owner or 
operator shall monitor the equipment according to the procedures 
specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section.
    (1) The requirements of paragraphs (b) (1) through (4) of this 
section shall apply.
    (2) The background level shall be determined, using the same 
procedures that will be used to determine whether the equipment is 
leaking.
    (3) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential 
leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as described in 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (4) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration 
indicated by the instrument and the background level is compared with 
500 parts per million for determining compliance.
    (d)(1) Each piece of equipment within a process unit that can 
reasonably be

[[Page 420]]

expected to contain equipment in organic HAP service is presumed to be 
in organic HAP service unless an owner or operator demonstrates that the 
piece of equipment is not in organic HAP service. For a piece of 
equipment to be considered not in organic HAP service, it must be 
determined that the percent organic HAP content can be reasonably 
expected not to exceed 5 percent by weight on an annual average basis. 
For purposes of determining the percent organic HAP content of the 
process fluid that is contained in or contacts equipment, Method 18 of 
40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall be used.
    (2)(i) An owner or operator may use good engineering judgment rather 
than the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) of this section to determine 
that the percent organic HAP content does not exceed 5 percent by 
weight. When an owner or operator and the Administrator do not agree on 
whether a piece of equipment is not in organic HAP service, however, the 
procedures in paragraph (d)(1) of this section shall be used to resolve 
the disagreement.
    (ii) Conversely, the owner or operator may determine that the 
organic HAP content of the process fluid does not exceed 5 percent by 
weight by, for example, accounting for 98 percent of the content and 
showing that organic HAP is less than 3 percent.
    (3) If an owner or operator determines that a piece of equipment is 
in organic HAP service, the determination can be revised after following 
the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) of this section, or by documenting 
that a change in the process or raw materials no longer causes the 
equipment to be in organic HAP service.
    (4) Samples used in determining the percent organic HAP content 
shall be representative of the process fluid that is contained in or 
contacts the equipment.
    (e) When a flare is used to comply with Sec.  63.172(d), the owner 
or operator shall comply with paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of this 
section. The owner or operator is not required to conduct a performance 
test to determine percent emission reduction or outlet organic HAP or 
TOC concentration.
    (1) Conduct a visible emission test using the techniques specified 
in Sec.  63.11(b)(4).
    (2) Determine the net heating value of the gas being combusted using 
the techniques specified in Sec.  63.11(b)(6).
    (3) Determine the exit velocity using the techniques specified in 
either Sec.  63.11(b)(7)(i) (and Sec.  63.11(b)(7)(iii), where 
applicable) or Sec.  63.11(b)(8), as appropriate.
    (f) The following procedures shall be used to pressure test batch 
product-process equipment for pressure or vacuum loss to demonstrate 
compliance with the requirements of Sec.  63.178(b)(3)(i) of this 
subpart.
    (1) The batch product-process equipment train shall be pressurized 
with a gas to a pressure less than the set pressure of any safety relief 
devices or valves or to a pressure slightly above the operating pressure 
of the equipment, or alternatively, the equipment shall be placed under 
a vacuum.
    (2) Once the test pressure is obtained, the gas source or vacuum 
source shall be shut off.
    (3) The test shall continue for not less than 15 minutes unless it 
can be determined in a shorter period of time that the allowable rate of 
pressure drop or of pressure rise was exceeded. The pressure in the 
batch product-process equipment shall be measured after the gas or 
vacuum source is shut off and at the end of the test period. The rate of 
change in pressure in the batch product-process equipment shall be 
calculated using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR22AP94.294

where:

[Delta] P/t = Change in pressure, psig/hr.
Pf = Final pressure, psig.
Pi = Initial pressure, psig.
tf-ti = Elapsed time, hours.

    (4) The pressure shall be measured using a pressure measurement 
device (gauge, manometer, or equivalent) which has a precision of 2.5 millimeter mercury in the range of test pressure and 
is capable of measuring pressures up to the relief set pressure of the 
pressure relief device. If such a pressure measurement device is not 
reasonably

[[Page 421]]

available, the owner or operator shall use a pressure measurement device 
with a precision of at least + 10 percent of the test pressure of the 
equipment and shall extend the duration of the test for the time 
necessary to detect a pressure loss or rise that equals a rate of one 
psig per hour.
    (5) An alternative procedure may be used for leak testing the 
equipment if the owner or operator demonstrates the alternative 
procedure is capable of detecting a pressure loss or rise.
    (g) The following procedures shall be used to pressure-test batch 
product-process equipment using a liquid to demonstrate compliance with 
the requirements of Sec.  63.178(b)(3)(ii) of this subpart.
    (1) The batch product-process equipment train, or section of the 
train, shall be filled with the test liquid (e.g., water, alcohol) until 
normal operating pressure is obtained. Once the equipment is filled, the 
liquid source shall be shut off.
    (2) The test shall be conducted for a period of at least 60 minutes, 
unless it can be determined in a shorter period of time that the test is 
a failure.
    (3) Each seal in the equipment being tested shall be inspected for 
indications of liquid dripping or other indications of fluid loss. If 
there are any indications of liquids dripping or of fluid loss, a leak 
is detected.
    (4) An alternative procedure may be used for leak testing the 
equipment, if the owner or operator demonstrates the alternative 
procedure is capable of detecting losses of fluid.

Sec.  63.181  Recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) An owner or operator of more than one process unit subject to 
the provisions of this subpart may comply with the recordkeeping 
requirements for these process units in one recordkeeping system if the 
system identifies each record by process unit and the program being 
implemented (e.g., quarterly monitoring, quality improvement) for each 
type of equipment. All records and information required by this section 
shall be maintained in a manner that can be readily accessed at the 
plant site. This could include physically locating the records at the 
plant site or accessing the records from a central location by computer 
at the plant site.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, the 
following information pertaining to all equipment in each process unit 
subject to the requirements in Sec. Sec.  63.162 through 63.174 of this 
subpart shall be recorded:
    (1)(i) A list of identification numbers for equipment (except 
connectors exempt from monitoring and recordkeeping identified in Sec.  
63.174 of this subpart and instrumentation systems) subject to the 
requirements of this subpart. Connectors need not be individually 
identified if all connectors in a designated area or length of pipe 
subject to the provisions of this subpart are identified as a group, and 
the number of connectors subject is indicated. With respect to 
connectors, the list shall be complete no later than the completion of 
the initial survey required by Sec.  63.174 (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this 
subpart.
    (ii) A schedule by process unit for monitoring connectors subject to 
the provisions of Sec.  63.174(a) of this subpart and valves subject to 
the provisions of Sec.  63.168(d) of this subpart.
    (iii) Physical tagging of the equipment to indicate that it is in 
organic HAP service is not required. Equipment subject to the provisions 
of this subpart may be identified on a plant site plan, in log entries, 
or by other appropriate methods.
    (2)(i) A list of identification numbers for equipment that the owner 
or operator elects to equip with a closed-vent system and control 
device, under the provisions of Sec.  63.163(g), Sec.  63.164(h), Sec.  
63.165(c), or Sec.  63.173(f) of this subpart.
    (ii) A list of identification numbers for compressors that the owner

    (7) The owner or operator of a plant site at which a process 
specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(6) of this section is located 
is exempt from all requirements of this subpart I until not later than 
April 22, 1997 if the owner or operator certifies, in a notification to 
the appropriate EPA Regional Office, not later than May 14, 1996, that 
the plant site at which the process is located emits, and will continue 
to emit, during any 12-month period, less than 10 tons per year of any 
individual HAP, and less than 25 tons per year of any combination of 
HAP.
    (i) If such a determination is based on limitations and conditions 
that are not federally enforceable (as defined in subpart A of this 
part), the owner or operator shall document the basis for the 
determination as specified in paragraphs (b)(7)(i)(A) through 
(b)(7)(i)(C).
    (A) The owner or operator shall identify all HAP emission points at 
the plant site, including those emission points subject to and emission 
points not subject to subparts F, G, and H of this part;
    (B) The owner or operator shall calculate the amount of annual HAP 
emissions released from each emission point at the plant site, using 
acceptable measurement or estimating techniques for maximum expected 
operating conditions at the plant site. Examples of estimating 
procedures that are considered acceptable include the calculation 
procedures in Sec.  63.150 of subpart G, the early reduction 
demonstration procedures specified in Sec. Sec.  63.74(c)(2), (c)(3),

satisfy the requirements of this paragraph.
    (C) The owner or operator shall sum the amount of annual HAP 
emissions from all emission points on the plant site. If the total 
emissions of any one HAP are less than 10 tons per year and the total 
emissions of any combination of HAP are less than 25 tons per year, the 
plant site qualifies for the exemption described in paragraph (b)(7) of 
this section, provided that emissions are kept below these thresholds.
    (ii) If such a determination is based on limitations and conditions 
that are federally enforceable, and the plant site is not a major source 
(as defined in

[[Page 431]]

Sec.  63.305  Alternative standards for coke oven doors equipped with
sheds.

    (a) The owner or operator of a new or existing coke oven battery 
equipped with a shed for the capture of coke oven emissions from coke 
oven doors and an emission control device for the collection of the 
emissions may comply with an alternative to the applicable visible 
emission limitations for coke oven doors in Sec. Sec.  63.302 and 63.304 
according to the procedures and requirements in this section.
    (b) To qualify for approval of an alternative standard, the owner or 
operator shall submit to the Administrator a test plan for the 
measurement of emissions. A copy of the request shall also be sent to 
the Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711. The 
plan shall describe the procedures to be used for the measurement of 
particulate matter; the parameters to be measured that affect the shed 
exhaust rate (e.g., damper settings, fan power) and the procedures for 
measuring such parameters; and if applicable under paragraph (c)(5)(ii) 
of this section, the procedures to be used for the measurement of 
benzene soluble organics, benzene, toluene, and xylene emitted from the 
control device for the shed. The owner or operator shall notify the 
Administrator at least 30 days before any performance test is conducted.
    (c) A complete test plan is deemed approved if no disapproval is 
received within 60 days of the submittal to the Administrator. After 
approval of the test plan, the owner or operator shall;
    (1) Determine the efficiency of the control device for removal of 
particulate matter by conducting measurements at the inlet and the 
outlet of the emission control device using Method 5 in appendix A to 
part 60 of this chapter, with the filter box operated at ambient 
temperature and in a manner to

[[Page 449]]

avoid condensation, with a backup filter;
    (2) Measure the visible emissions from coke oven doors that escape 
capture by the shed using Method 22 in appendix A to part 60 of this 
chapter. For the purpose of approval of an alternative standard, no 
visible emissions may escape capture from the shed.
    (i) Visible emission observations shall be taken during conditions 
representative of normal operations, except that pushing shall be 
suspended and pushing emissions shall have cleared the shed; and
    (ii) Method 22 observations shall be performed by an observer 
certified according to the requirements of Method 9 in appendix A to 
part 60 of this chapter. The observer shall allow pushing emissions to 
be evacuated (typically 1 to 2 minutes) before making observations;
    (3) Measure the opacity of emissions from the control device using 
Method 9 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter during conditions 
representative of normal operations, including pushing; and
    (i) If the control device has multiple stacks, the owner or operator 
shall use an evaluation based on visible emissions and opacity to select 
the stack with the highest opacity for testing under this section;
    (ii) The highest opacity, expressed as a 6-minute average, shall be 
used as the opacity standard for the control device.
    (4) Thoroughly inspect all compartments of each air cleaning device 
prior to the performance test for proper operation and for changes that 
signal the potential for malfunction, including the presence of tears, 
holes, and abrasions in filter bags; damaged seals; and for dust 
deposits on the clean side of bags; and
    (5) Determine the allowable percent leaking doors under the shed 
using either of the following procedures:
    (i) Calculate the allowable percent leaking doors using the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27OC93.000

where

PLD = Allowable percent leaking doors for alternative standard.
PLDstd = Applicable visible emission limitation of percent 
          leaking doors under this subpart that would otherwise apply to 
          the coke oven battery, converted to the single-run limit 
          according to Table 1.
eff = Percent control efficiency for particulate matter for emission 
          control device as determined according to paragraph (c)(1) of

or;
    (ii) Calculate the allowable percent leaking doors using the 
following procedures:
    (A) Measure the total emission rate of benzene, toluene, and xylene 
exiting the control device using Method 18 in appendix A to part 60 of 
this chapter and the emission rate of benzene soluble organics entering 
the control device as described in the test plan submitted pursuant to 
paragraph (b) of this section; or
    (B) Measure benzene, toluene, xylene, and benzene soluble organics 
in the gas in the collector main as described in the test plan submitted 
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section; and
    (C) Calculate the ratio (R) of benzene, toluene, and xylene to 
benzene soluble organics for the gas in the collector main, or as the 
sum of the outlet emission rates of benzene, toluene, and xylene, 
divided by the emission rate of benzene soluble organics as measured at 
the inlet to the control device; and
    (D) Calculate the allowable percent leaking doors limit under the 
shed using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27OC93.001

where


[[Page 450]]


R = Ratio of measured emissions of benzene, toluene, and xylene to 
          measured emissions of benzene soluble organics.

    (iii) If the allowable percent leaking coke oven doors is calculated 
to exceed 15 percent leaking coke oven doors under paragraphs (c)(5)(i) 
or (c)(5)(ii) of this section, the owner or operator shall use 15 
percent leaking coke oven doors for the purposes of this section.
    (6) Monitor the parameters that affect the shed exhaust flow rate.
    (7) The owner or operator may request alternative sampling 
procedures to those specified in paragraph (c)(5)(ii) (A) and (B) of 
this section by submitting details on the procedures and the rationale 
for their use to the Administrator. Alternative procedures shall not be 
used without approval from the Administrator.
    (8) The owner or operator shall inform the Administrator of the 
schedule for conducting testing under the approved test plan and give 
the Administrator the opportunity to observe the tests.
    (d) After calculating the alternative standard for allowable percent 
leaking coke oven doors, the owner or operator shall submit the 
following information to the Administrator:
    (1) Identity of the coke oven battery;
    (2) Visible emission limitation(s) for percent leaking doors 
currently applicable to the coke oven battery under this subpart and 
known future limitations for percent leaking coke oven doors;
    (3) A written report including:
    (i) Appropriate measurements and calculations used to derive the 
allowable percent leaking coke oven doors requested as the alternative

opacity observations for the control device for the shed, including an 
alternative opacity standard, if applicable, as described in paragraph 
(c)(3) of this section based on the highest 6-minute average; and
    (iii) The parameter or parameters (e.g., fan power, damper position, 
or other) to be monitored and recorded to demonstrate that the exhaust 
flow rate measured during the test required by paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section is maintained, and the monitoring plan for such parameter(s).
    (iv) If the application is for a new shed, one of the following 
demonstrations:
    (A) A demonstration, using modeling procedures acceptable to the 
Administrator, that the expected concentrations of particulate emissions 
(including benzene soluble organics) under the shed at the bench level, 
when the proposed alternative standard was being met, would not exceed 
the expected concentrations of particulate emissions (including benzene 
soluble organics) if the shed were not present, the regulations under 
this subpart were met, and the battery was in compliance with federally 
enforceable limitations on pushing emissions; or
    (B) A demonstration that the shed (including the evacuation system) 
has been designed in accordance with generally accepted engineering 
principles for the effective capture and control of particulate 
emissions (including benzene soluble organics) as measured at the shed's 
perimeter, its control device, and at the bench level.

according to paragraph (d) of this section and may request additional 
information and data within 60 days of receipt of a complete request.
    (1) Except for applications subject to paragraph (e)(3) of this 
section, the Administrator shall approve or disapprove an alternative 
standard as expeditiously as practicable. The Administrator shall 
approve an alternative standard, unless the Administrator determines 
that the approved test plan has not been followed, or any required 
calculations are incorrect, or any demonstration required under 
paragraph (d)(3)(iv) of this section does not satisfy the applicable 
criteria under that paragraph. If the alternative standard is 
disapproved, the Administrator will issue a written notification to the 
owner or operator within the 60-day period.
    (2) The owner or operator shall comply with the applicable visible 
emission limitation for coke oven doors and all other requirements in 
this subpart prior to approval of an alternative standard. The owner or 
operator may

[[Page 451]]

    (3) An application for an alternative standard to the standard in 
Sec.  63.304(b)(1)(i) for any shed that is not a new shed that is filed 
on or before June 15, 1993, is deemed approved if a notice of 
disapproval has not been received 60 days after submission of a complete 
request. An approval under paragraph (e)(3) of this section shall be 
valid for a period of 1 year.
    (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (e) of this section, 
no alternative standard shall be approved that exceeds 15 percent

procedures and requirements in Sec.  63.309(d)(5) and Method 303 in 
appendix A to this part.
    (iii) If the visible emission limitation is achieved for 12 
consecutive observations, compliance shall be determined by monthly 
rather than weekly performance tests. If any exceedance occurs during a 
performance test, weekly performance tests shall be resumed.
    (iv) Observations taken at times other than those specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1)(ii) and (f)(1)(iii) of this section shall be subject 
to the provisions of Sec.  63.309(f).
    (2) The certified observer shall monitor the visible coke oven 
emissions escaping capture by the shed on a weekly basis. The provision 
in paragraph (f)(6) of this section is applicable if visible coke oven 
emissions are observed during periods when pushing emissions have 
cleared the shed.
    (3) The owner or operator shall not discharge or allow to be 
discharged to the atmosphere any visible emissions from the shed's 
control device exhibiting more than 0 percent opacity unless an 
alternative limit has been approved under paragraph (e) of this section.
    (4) The opacity of emissions from the control device for the shed 
shall be monitored in accordance with the requirements of either 
paragraph (f)(4)(i) or (f)(4)(ii) of this section, at the election of 
the owner or operator.
    (i) The owner or operator shall install, operate, and maintain a 
continuous opacity monitor, and record the output of the system, for the 
measurement of the opacity of emissions discharged from the emission 
control system.
    (A) Each continuous opacity monitoring system shall meet the 
requirements of Performance Specification 1 in appendix B to part 60 of 
this chapter; and
    (B) Each continuous opacity monitoring system shall be operated, 
calibrated, and maintained according to the procedures and requirements 
specified in part 52 of this chapter; or
    (ii) A certified observer shall monitor and record at least once 
each day during daylight hours, opacity observations for the control 
device for the shed using Method 9 in appendix A to part 60 of this 
chapter.
    (5) The owner or operator shall visually inspect the structural 
integrity of the shed at least once a quarter for defects, such as 
deterioration of sheet metal (e.g., holes in the shed), that may allow 
the escape of visible emissions.
    (i) The owner or operator shall record the time and date a defect is 
first observed, the time and date the defect is corrected or repaired, 
and a brief description of repairs or corrective actions taken;
    (ii) The owner or operator shall temporarily repair the defect as 
soon as possible, but no later than 5 days after detection of the 
defect;
    (iii) Unless a major repair is required, the owner or operator shall 
perform a complete repair of the defect within 15 days of detection of 
the defect. If a major repair is required (e.g., replacement of large 
sections of the shed), the

[[Page 452]]

owner or operator shall submit a repair schedule to the enforcement 
agency.
    (6) If the no visible emission limit for the shed specified in 
paragraph (f)(2) of this section is exceeded, the Administrator may 
require another test for the shed according to the approved test plan as 
specified in paragraph (c) of this section. If the certified observer 
observes visible coke oven emissions from the shed, except during 
periods of pushing or when pushing emissions have not cleared the shed, 
the owner or operator shall check to ensure that the shed and control 
device are working properly.
    (7) The owner or operator shall monitor the parameter(s) affecting 
shed exhaust flow rate, and record data, in accordance with the approved 
monitoring plan for these parameters.
    (8) The owner or operator shall not operate the exhaust system of 
the shed at an exhaust flow rate lower than that measured during the 
test required under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, as indicated by 
the monitored parameters.
    (g) Each side of a battery subject to an alternative standard for 
doors under this section shall be treated separately for purposes of 
Sec. Sec.  63.306(c) (plan implementation) and 63.306(d) (plan 
revisions) of this subpart. In making determinations under these 
provisions for the side of the battery subject to an alternative 
standard, the requirement that exceedances be independent shall not 
apply. During any period when work practices for doors for both sides of 
the battery are required to be implemented, Sec.  63.306(a)(3) shall 
apply in the same manner as if the provisions of a plan for a single 
emissions point were required to be implemented. Exceedances of the 
alternative standard for percent leaking doors under a shed is the only 
provision in this section implicating implementation of work practice 
requirements.
    (h) Multiple exceedances of the visible emission limitation for door 
leaks and/or the provisions of an alternative standard under this 
section for door leaks at a battery on a single day shall be considered 
a single violation.



Sec.  63.306  Work practice standards.

    (a) Work practice plan. On or before November 15, 1993, each owner 
or operator shall prepare and submit a written emission control work 
practice plan for each coke oven battery. The plan shall be designed to 
achieve compliance with visible emission limitations for coke oven 
doors, topside port lids, offtake systems, and charging operations under 
this subpart, or, for a coke oven battery not subject to visible 
emission limitations under this subpart, other federally enforceable 
visible emission limitations for these emission points.

delegated State, local, or Tribal authority) finds either that the plan 
does not address each subject area listed in paragraph (b) of this 
section for each emission point subject to a visible emission standard 
under this subpart, or that the plan in unenforceable because it 
contains requirements that are unclear.
    (3) During any period of time that an owner or operator is required 
to implement the provisions of a plan for a particular emission point, 
the failure to implement one or more obligations under the plan and/or 
any recordkeeping requirement(s) under Sec.  63.311(f)(4) for the 
emission point during a particular day is a single violation.
    (b) Plan components. The owner or operator shall organize the work 
practice plan to indicate clearly which parts of the plan pertain to 
each emission point subject to visible emission standards under this 
subpart. Each of the following provisions, at a minimum, shall be 
addressed in the plan:

    (1) The owner or operator of a coke oven battery subject to visible 
emission limitations under this subpart on and after November 15, 1993, 
shall:
    (i) Implement the provisions of the work practice plan pertaining to 
a particular emission point following the second independent exceedance 
of the visible emission limitation for the emission point in any 
consecutive 6-month period, by no later than 3 days after receipt of 
written notification of the second such exceedance from the certified 
observer. For the purpose of this paragraph (c)(1)(i), the second 
exceedance is ``independent'' if either of the following criteria is 
met:
    (A) The second exceedance occurs 30 days or more after the first 
exceedance;
    (B) In the case of coke oven doors, topside port lids, and offtake 
systems, the 29-run average, calculated by excluding the highest value 
in the 30-day period, exceeds the value of the applicable emission 
limitation; or
    (C) In the case of charging emissions, the 29-day logarithmic 
average, calculated in accordance with Method 303

[[Page 455]]

in appendix A to this part by excluding the valid daily set of 
observations in the 30-day period that had the highest arithmetic 
average, exceeds the value of the applicable emission limitation.
    (ii) Continue to implement such plan provisions until the visible 
emission limitation for the emission point is achieved for 90 
consecutive days if work practice requirements are implemented pursuant 
to paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section. After the visible emission 
limitation for a particular emission point is achieved for 90 
consecutive days, any exceedances prior to the beginning of the 90 days 
are not included in making a determination under paragraph (c)(1)(i) of 
this section.
    (2) The owner or operator of a coke oven battery not subject to 
visible emission limitations under this subpart until December 31, 1995, 
shall:
    (i) Implement the provisions of the work practice plan pertaining to 
a particular emission point following the second exceedance in any 
consecutive 6-month period of a federally enforceable emission 
limitation for that emission point for coke oven doors, topside port 
lids, offtake systems, or charging operations by no later than 3 days 
after receipt of written notification from the applicable enforcement 
agency; and
    (ii) Continue to implement such plan provisions for 90 consecutive 
days after the most recent written notification from the enforcement 
agency of an exceedance of the visible emission limitation.
    (d) Revisions to plan. Revisions to the work practice emission 
control plan will be governed by the provisions in this paragraph (d) 
and in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. The reviewing authority is the 
Administrator or the delegated State, local, or Tribal authority.
    (1) The reviewing authority may request the owner or operator to 
review and revise as needed the work practice emission control plan for 
a particular emission point if there are 2 exceedances of the applicable 
visible emission limitation in the 6-month period that starts 30 days 
after the owner or operator is required to implement work practices 
under paragraph (c) of this section. In the case of a coke oven battery 
subject to visual emission limitations under this subpart, the second 
exceedance must be independent of the criteria in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of 
this section.
    (2) The reviewing authority may not request the owner or operator to 
review and revise the plan more than twice in any 12 consecutive month 
period for any particular emission point unless the reviewing authority 
disapproves the plan according to the provisions in paragraph (d)(6) of 
this section.
    (3) If the certified observer calculates that a second exceedance 
(or, if applicable, a second independent exceedance) has occurred, the 
certified observer shall notify the owner or operator. No later than 10 
days after receipt of such a notification, the owner or operator shall 
notify the reviewing authority of any finding of whether work practices 
are related to the cause or the solution of the problem. The 
notification is subject to review by the reviewing authority according 
to the provisions in paragraph (d)(6) of this section.
    (4) The owner or operator shall submit a revised work practice plan 
within 60 days of notification from the reviewing authority under 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section, unless the reviewing authority grants 
an extension of time to submit the revised plan.
    (5) If the reviewing authority requires a plan revision, the 
reviewing authority may require the plan to address a subject area or 
areas in addition to those in paragraph (b) of this section, if the 
reviewing authority determines that without plan coverage of such an 
additional subject area, there is a reasonable probability of further 
exceedances of the visible emission limitation for the emission point 
for which a plan revision is required.
    (6) The reviewing authority may disapprove a plan revision required 
under paragraph (d) of this section if the reviewing authority 
determines that the revised plan is inadequate to prevent exceedances of 
the visible emission limitation under this subpart for the

[[Page 456]]

emission point for which a plan revision is required or, in the case of 
a battery not subject to visual emission limitations under this subpart, 
other federally enforceable emission limitations for such emission 
point. The reviewing authority may also disapprove the finding that may 
be submitted pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section if the 
reviewing authority determines that a revised plan is needed to prevent 
exceedances of the applicable visible emission limitations.

Sec.  63.309  Performance tests and procedures.

    (a) Except as otherwise provided, a daily performance test shall be 
conducted each day, 7 days per week for each new and existing coke oven 
battery, the results of which shall be used in accordance with 
procedures specified in this subpart to determine compliance with each 
of the applicable visible emission limitations for coke oven doors, 
topside port lids, offtake systems, and charging operations in this 
subpart. If a facility pushes and charges only at night, then that 
facility must, at its option, change their schedule and charge during 
daylight hours or provide adequate lighting so that visible emission 
inspections can be made at night. ``Adequate lighting'' will be 
determined by the enforcement agency.
    (1) Each performance test is to be conducted according to the 
procedures and requirements in this section and in Method 303 or 303A in 
appendix A to this part or Methods 9 and 22 in appendix A to part 60 of 
this chapter (where applicable).
    (2) Each performance test is to be conducted by a certified 
observer.
    (3) The certified observer shall complete any reasonable safety 
training program offered by the owner or operator prior to conducting 
any performance test at a coke oven battery.
    (4) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a)(5) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall pay an inspection fee to the 
enforcement agency each calendar quarter to defray the costs of the 
daily performance tests required under paragraph (a) of this section.
    (i) The inspection fee shall be determined according to the 
following formula:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27OC93.002

where

F = Fees to be paid by owner or operator.
H = Total person hours for inspections: 4 hours for 1 coke oven battery, 
          6.25 hours for 2 coke oven batteries, 8.25 hours for 3 coke 
          oven batteries. For more than 3 coke oven batteries, use these 
          hours to calculate the appropriate estimate of person hours.
S = Current average hourly rate for private visible emission inspectors 
          in the relevant market.

    (ii) The enforcement agency may revise the value for H in equation 3 
within 3 years after October 27, 1993 to reflect the amount of time 
actually required to conduct the inspections required under paragraph 
(a) of this section.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall not be required to pay an 
inspection fee (or any part thereof) under paragraph (a)(4) of this 
section, for any monitoring or inspection services required by paragraph 
(a) of this section that the owner or operator can demonstrate are 
covered by other fees collected by the enforcement agency.
    (iv) Upon request, the enforcement agency shall provide the owner or 
operator information concerning the inspection services covered by any 
other

[[Page 458]]

fees collected by the enforcement agency, and any information relied 
upon under paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of this section.
    (5)(i) The EPA shall be the enforcement agency during any period of 
time that a delegation of enforcement authority is not in effect or a 
withdrawal of enforcement authority under Sec.  63.313 is in effect, and 
the Administrator is responsible for performing the inspections required 
by this section, pursuant to Sec.  63.313(c).
    (ii) Within thirty (30) days of receiving notification from the 
Administrator that the EPA is the enforcement agency for a coke oven 
battery, the owner or operator shall enter into a contract providing for 
the inspections and performance tests required under this section to be 
performed by a Method 303 certified observer. The inspections and 
performance tests will be conducted at the expense of the owner or 
operator, during the period that the EPA is the implementing agency.
    (b) The enforcement agency shall commence daily performance tests on 
the applicable date specified in Sec.  63.300 (a) or (c).
    (c) The certified observer shall conduct each performance test 
according to the requirements in this paragraph:
    (1) The certified observer shall conduct one run each day to observe 
and record visible emissions from each coke oven door (except for doors 
covered by an alternative standard under Sec.  63.305), topside port 
lid, and offtake system on each coke oven battery. The certified 
observer also shall conduct five runs to observe and record the seconds 
of visible emissions per charge for five consecutive charges from each 
coke oven battery. The observer may perform additional runs as needed to 
obtain and record a visible emissions value (or set of values) for an 
emission point that is valid under Method 303 or Method 303A in appendix 
A to this part. Observations from fewer than five consecutive charges 
shall constitute a valid set of charging observations only in accordance 
with the procedures and conditions specified in sections 3.8 and 3.9 of 
Method 303 in appendix A to this part.
    (2) If a valid visible emissions value (or set of values) is not 
obtained for a performance test, there is no compliance determination 
for that day. Compliance determinations will resume on the next day that 
a valid visible emissions value (or set of values) is obtained.
    (3) After each performance test for a by-product coke oven battery, 
the certified observer shall check and record the collecting main 
pressure according to the procedures in section 6.3 of Method 303 in 
appendix A to this part.
    (i) The owner or operator shall demonstrate pursuant to Method 303 
in appendix A to this part the accuracy of the pressure measurement 
device upon request of the certified observer;
    (ii) The owner or operator shall not adjust the pressure to a level 
below the range of normal operation during or prior to the inspection;
    (4) The certified observer shall monitor visible emissions from coke 
oven doors subject to an alternative standard under Sec.  63.305 on the 
schedule specified in Sec.  63.305(f).
    (5) If applicable, the certified observer shall monitor the opacity 
of any emissions escaping the control device for a shed covering doors 
subject to an alternative standard under Sec.  63.305 on the schedule 
specified in Sec.  63.305(f).
    (6) In no case shall the owner or operator knowingly block a coke 
oven door, or any portion of a door for the purpose of concealing 
emissions or preventing observations by the certified observer.
    (d) Using the observations obtained from each performance test, the 
enforcement agency shall compute and record, in accordance with the 
procedures and requirements of Method 303 or 303A in appendix A to this 
part, for each day of operations on which a valid emissions value (or 
set of values) is obtained:
    (1) The 30-run rolling average of the percent leaking coke oven 
doors, topside port lids, and offtake systems on each coke oven battery, 
using the equations in sections 4.5.3.2, 5.6.5.2, and 5.6.6.2 of Method 
303 (or section 3.4.3.2 of Method 303A) in appendix A to this part;
    (2) For by-product coke oven battery charging operations, the 
logarithmic 30-day rolling average of the seconds of visible emissions 
per charge for each battery, using the equation in section

[[Page 459]]

    (3) For a battery subject to an alternative emission limitation for 
coke oven doors on by-product coke oven batteries pursuant to Sec.  
63.305, the 30-run rolling average of the percent leaking coke oven 
doors for any side of the battery not subject to such alternative 
emission limitation;
    (4) For a by-product coke oven battery subject to the small battery 
emission limitation for coke oven doors pursuant to Sec.  63.304(b)(7), 
the 30-run rolling average of the number of leaking coke oven doors;
    (5) For an approved alternative emission limitation for coke oven 
doors according to Sec.  63.305, the weekly or monthly observation of 
the percent leaking coke oven doors using Method 303 in appendix A to 
this part, the percent opacity of visible emissions from the control 
device for the shed using Method 9 in appendix A to part 60 of this 
chapter, and visible emissions from the shed using Method 22 in appendix 
A to part 60 of this chapter;
    (e) The certified observer shall make available to the implementing 
agency as well as to the owner or operator, a copy of the daily 
inspection results by the end of the day and shall make available the 
calculated rolling average for each emission point to the owner or 
operator as soon as practicable following each performance test. The 
information provided by the certified observer is not a compliance 
determination. For the purpose of notifying an owner or operator of the 
results obtained by a certified observer, the person does not have to be 
certified.
    (f) Compliance shall not be determined more often than the schedule 
provided for performance tests under this section. If additional valid 
emissions observations are obtained (or in the case of charging, valid 
sets of emission observations), the arithmetic average of all valid 
values (or valid sets of values) obtained during the day shall be used 
in any computations performed to determine compliance under paragraph 
(d) of this section or determinations under Sec.  63.306.
    (g) Compliance with the alternative standards for nonrecovery coke 
oven batteries in Sec.  63.303; shed inspection, maintenance 
requirements, and monitoring requirements for parameters affecting the 
shed exhaust flow rate for batteries subject to alternative standards 
for coke oven doors under Sec.  63.305; work practice emission control 
plan requirements in Sec.  63.306; standards for bypass/bleeder stacks 
in Sec.  63.307; and standards for collecting mains in Sec.  63.308 is 
to be determined by the enforcement agency based on review of records 
and inspections.
    (h) For a flare installed to meet the requirements of Sec.  
63.307(b):
    (1) Compliance with the provisions in Sec.  63.307(c) (visible 
emissions from flares) shall be determined using Method 22 in appendix A 
to part 60 of this chapter, with an observation period of 2 hours; and
    (2) Compliance with the provisions in Sec.  63.307(b)(4) (flare 
pilot light) shall be determined using a thermocouple or any other 
equivalent device.
    (i) No observations obtained during any program for training or for 
certifying observers under this subpart shall be used to determine 
compliance with the requirements of this subpart or any other federally 
enforceable standard.
    (j) The owner or operator of a new nonrecovery coke oven battery 
shall conduct a performance test once each week to demonstrate 
compliance with the opacity limit in Sec.  63.303(d)(1). The owner or 
operator shall conduct each performance test according to the procedures 
and requirements in paragraphs (j)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) Using a certified observer, determine the average opacity of 
five consecutive charges per week for each charging emissions capture 
system if charges can be observed according to the requirements of 
Method 9 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A), except as specified in paragraphs 
(j)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section.
    (i) Instead of the procedures in section 2.4 of Method 9 (40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A), record observations to the nearest 5 percent at 
15-second intervals for at least five consecutive charges.
    (ii) Instead of the procedures in section 2.5 of Method 9 (40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A), determine and record the highest 3-minute average 
opacity for

[[Page 460]]

each charge from the consecutive observations recorded at 15-second 
intervals.
    (2) Opacity observations are to start when the door is removed for 
charging and end when the door is replaced.
    (3) Using the observations recorded from each performance test, the 
certified observer shall compute and record the average of the highest 
3-minute averages for five consecutive charges.
    (k) The owner or operator of a new nonrecovery coke oven battery 
shall conduct a performance test to demonstrate initial compliance with 
the emission limitations for a charging emissions control device in 
Sec.  63.303(d)(2) within 180 days of the compliance date that is 
specified for the affected source in Sec.  63.300(a)(4) and report the 
results in the notification of compliance status. The owner or operator 
shall prepare a site-specific test plan according to the requirements in 
Sec.  63.7(c) and shall conduct each performance test according to the 
requirements in Sec.  63.7(e)(1) and paragraphs (k)(1) through (4) of 
this section.
    (1) Determine the concentration of PM according to the following 
test methods in appendix A to 40 CFR part 60.
    (i) Method 1 to select sampling port locations and the number of 
traverse points. Sampling sites must be located at the outlet of the 
control device and prior to any releases to the atmosphere.
    (ii) Method 2, 2F, or 2G to determine the volumetric flow rate of 
the stack gas.
    (iii) Method 3, 3A, or 3B to determine the dry molecular weight of 
the stack gas. You may also use as an alternative to Method 3B, the 
manual method for measuring the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon 
monoxide content of exhaust gas, ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ``Flue and 
Exhaust Gas Analyses'' (incorporated by reference, see Sec.  63.14).
    (iv) Method 4 to determine the moisture content of the stack gas.
    (v) Method 5 or 5D, as applicable, to determine the concentration of 
front half PM in the stack gas.
    (2) During each PM test run, sample only during periods of actual 
charging when the capture system fan and control device are engaged. 
Collect a minimum sample volume of 30 dry standard cubic feet (dscf) 
during each test run. Three valid test runs are needed to comprise a 
performance test. Each run must start at the beginning of a charge and 
finish at the end of a charge (i.e., sample for an integral number of 
charges).
    (3) Determine and record the total combined weight of tons of dry 
coal charged during the duration of each test run.
    (4) Compute the process-weighted mass emissions (Ep) for 
each test run using Equation 1 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15AP05.000

Where:

Ep = Process weighted mass emissions of PM, lb/ton;
C = Concentration of PM, grains per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf);
Q = Volumetric flow rate of stack gas, dscf/hr;
T = Total time during a run that a sample is withdrawn from the stack 
          during charging, hr;
P = Total amount of dry coal charged during the test run, tons; and
K = Conversion factor, 7,000 grains per pound (gr/lb).

to the requirement of this paragraph shall not constitute a separate 
violation if a violation of an applicable performance or work practice 
standard has also occurred.
    (b) Each owner or operator of a coke oven battery shall develop, 
according to paragraph (c) of this section, a written startup, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan that describes procedures for operating the 
battery, including associated air pollution control equipment, during a 
period of a startup, shutdown, or malfunction in a manner consistent 
with good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions, and 
procedures for correcting malfunctioning process and air pollution 
control equipment as quickly as practicable.
    (c) Malfunctions shall be corrected as soon as practicable after 
their occurrence.
    (d) In order for the provisions of paragraph (i) of this section to 
apply with respect to the observation (or set of observations) for a 
particular day, notification of a startup, shutdown, or a malfunction 
shall be made by the owner or operator:
    (1) If practicable, to the certified observer if the observer is at 
the facility during the occurrence; or
    (2) To the enforcement agency, in writing, within 24 hours of the 
occurrence first being documented by a company employee, and if the 
notification under paragraph (d)(1) of this section was not made, an 
explanation of why no such notification was made.
    (e) Within 14 days of the notification made under paragraph (d) of 
this section, or after a startup or shutdown, the owner or operator 
shall submit a written report to the applicable permitting authority 
that:
    (1) Describes the time and circumstances of the startup, shutdown, 
or malfunction; and
    (2) Describes actions taken that might be considered inconsistent 
with the startup, shutdown, or malfunction plan.
    (f) The owner or operator shall maintain a record of internal 
reports which form the basis of each malfunction notification under 
paragraph (d) of this section.
    (g) To satisfy the requirements of this section to develop a 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the owner or operator may use 
the standard operating procedures manual for the battery, provided the 
manual meets all the requirements for this section and is made available 
for inspection at reasonable times when requested by the Administrator.
    (h) The Administrator may require reasonable revisions to a startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan, if the Administrator finds that the 
plan:
    (1) Does not address a startup, shutdown, or malfunction event that 
has occurred;
    (2) Fails to provide for the operation of the source (including 
associated air pollution control equipment) during a startup, shutdown, 
or malfunction event in a manner consistent with good air pollution 
control practices for minimizing emissions; or
    (3) Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting 
malfunctioning process and/or air pollution control equipment as quickly 
as practicable.
    (i) If the owner or operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the 
Administrator that a startup, shutdown, or malfunction has occurred, 
then an observation occurring during such startup, shutdown, or 
malfunction shall not:
    (1) Constitute a violation of relevant requirements of this subpart;
    (2) Be used in any compliance determination under Sec.  63.309; or
    (3) Be considered for purposes of Sec.  63.306, until the 
Administrator has resolved the claim that a startup, shutdown, or 
malfunction has occurred. If the Administrator determines that a 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction has not occurred, such observations 
may be used for purposes of Sec.  63.306, regardless of whether the 
owner or operator further contests such determination. The owner's or 
operator's receipt of written notification from the Administrator that a 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction has not occurred will serve, where

Sec.  63.312  Existing regulations and requirements.

    (a) The owner or operator shall comply with all applicable State 
implementation plan emission limits and (subject to any expiration date) 
all federally enforceable emission limitations which are contained in an 
order, decree, permit, or settlement agreement for the control of 
emissions from offtake systems, topside port lids, coke oven doors, and 
charging operations in effect on September 15, 1992, or which have been 
modified according to the provisions of paragraph (c) of this section.
    (b) Nothing in this subpart shall affect the enforcement of such 
State implementation plan emission limitations (or, subject to any 
expiration date, such federally enforceable emission limitations 
contained in an order, decree, permit, or settlement agreement) in 
effect on September 15, 1992, or which have been modified according to 
the provisions in paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) No such State implementation plan emission limitation (or, 
subject to any expiration date, such federally enforceable emission 
limitation contained in an order, decree, permit, or settlement 
agreement) in effect on September 15, 1992, may be modified under the 
Act unless:
    (1) Such modification is consistent with all requirements of section 
110 of the Act; and either
    (i) Such modification ensures that the applicable emission 
limitations and format (e.g., single pass v. multiday average) in effect 
on September 15, 1992, will continue in effect; or
    (ii) Such modification includes a change in the method of monitoring 
(except frequency unless frequency was indicated in the State 
implementation plan, or subject to any expiration date, other federally 
enforceable requirements contained in an order, decree, permit, or 
settlement agreement) that is more stringent than the method of 
monitoring in effect on September 15, 1992, and that ensures coke oven 
emission reductions greater than the emission reductions required on 
September 15, 1992. The burden of proof in demonstrating the stringency 
of the methods of monitoring is borne by the party

[[Page 466]]

requesting the modification and must be made to the satisfaction of the 
Administrator; or
    (iii) Such modification makes the emission limitations more 
stringent while holding the format unchanged, makes the format more 
stringent while holding the emission limitations unchanged, or makes 
both more stringent.
    (2) Any industry application to make a State implementation plan 
revision or other adjustment to account for differences between Method 
303 in appendix A to this part and the State's method based on paragraph 
(c)(1)(ii) of this section shall be submitted within 12 months after 
October 27, 1993.
    (d) Except as specified in Sec.  63.307(f), nothing in this subpart 
shall limit or affect any authority or obligation of Federal, State, or 
local agencies to establish emission limitations or other requirements 
more stringent than those specified in this subpart.
    (e) Except as provided in Sec.  63.302(c), section 112(g) of the Act 
shall not apply to sources subject to this subpart.



Sec.  63.313  Implementation and enforcement.

    (a) This subpart can be implemented and enforced by the U.S. EPA, or 
a delegated authority such as the applicable State, local, or Tribal 
agency. If the U.S. EPA Administrator has delegated authority to a 
State, local, or Tribal agency, then that agency, in addition to the 
U.S. EPA, has the authority to implement and enforce this subpart. 
Contact the applicable U.S. EPA Regional Office to find out if 
implementation and enforcement of this subpart is delegated to a State, 
local, or Tribal agency.
    (b) In delegating implementation and enforcement authority of this 
subpart to a State, local, or Tribal agency under subpart E of this 
part, the authorities contained in paragraph (d) of this section are 
retained by the Administrator and cannot be transferred to the State, 
local, or Tribal agency.
    (c) Withdrawal of authority:
    (1) Whenever the Administrator learns that a delegated agency has 
not fully carried out the inspections and performance tests required 
under Sec.  63.309 for each applicable emission point of each battery 
each day, the Administrator shall immediately notify the agency. Unless 
the delegated agency demonstrates to the Administrator's satisfaction 
within 15 days of notification that the agency is consistently carrying 
out the inspections and performance tests required under Sec.  63.309 in 
the manner specified in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall 
notify the coke oven battery owner or operator that inspections and 
performance tests shall be carried out according to Sec.  63.309(a)(5). 
When the Administrator determines that the delegated agency is prepared 
to consistently perform all the required inspections and performance 
tests each day, the Administrator shall give the coke oven battery owner 
or operator at least 15 days notice that implementation will revert to 
the previously delegated agency.
    (2) In addition to the provisions in paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section, the Administrator may also withdraw delegation of authority 
pursuant to the provisions of Sec.  63.96 of subpart E of this part.
    (d) The authorities that cannot be delegated to State, local, or 
Tribal agencies are as specified in paragraphs (d)(1) through (5) of 
this section.
    (1) Approval of alternatives to the requirements in Sec. Sec.  
63.300 and 63.302 through 63.308 (except the authorities in 63.306(a)(2)

bend, expansion, contraction, or outlet; downstream from no other inlet; 
and 2 stack or duct diameters upstream from any flow disturbance such as 
a bend, expansion, contraction, inlet, or outlet.
    (c) If the air-PCE gas vapor stream is passed through a carbon 
adsorber prior to machine door opening to comply with Sec.  
63.322(b)(3), the owner or operator of an affected facility shall 
measure the concentration of PCE in the dry cleaning machine drum at the 
end of the dry cleaning cycle weekly with a colorimetric detector tube 
or PCE gas analyzer to determine that the PCE concentration is equal to 
or less than 300 parts per million by volume. The owner or operator 
shall:
    (1) Use a colorimetric detector tube or PCE gas analyzer designed to 
measure a concentration of 300 parts per million by volume of PCE in air 
to an accuracy of 75 parts per million by volume; 
and
    (2) Use the colorimetric detector tube or PCE gas analyzer according 
to the manufacturer's instructions; and
    (3) Conduct the weekly monitoring by inserting the colorimetric 
detector or PCE gas analyzer tube into the open space above the articles 
at the rear of

Sec.  63.341  Definitions and nomenclature.

    (a) Definitions. Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Act, 
in subpart A of this part, or in this section. For the purposes of 
subpart N of this part, if the same term is defined in subpart A of this 
part and in this section, it shall have the meaning given in this 
section.
    Add-on air pollution control device means equipment installed in the 
ventilation system of chromium electroplating and anodizing tanks for 
the purposes of collecting and containing chromium emissions from the 
tank(s).
    Affirmative defense means, in the context of an enforcement 
proceeding, a response or a defense put forward by a defendant, 
regarding which the defendant has the burden of proof, and the merits of 
which are independently and objectively evaluated in a judicial or 
administrative proceeding.
    Air pollution control technique means any method, such as an add-on 
air pollution control device or a chemical fume suppressant, that is 
used to reduce chromium emissions from chromium electroplating and 
chromium anodizing tanks.
    Base metal means the metal or metal alloy that comprises the 
workpiece.
    Bath component means the trade or brand name of each component(s) in 
trivalent chromium plating baths. For trivalent chromium baths, the bath 
composition is proprietary in most cases. Therefore, the trade or brand 
name for each component(s) can be used; however, the chemical name of 
the wetting agent contained in that component must be identified.
    Chemical fume suppressant means any chemical agent that reduces or 
suppresses fumes or mists at the surface of an electroplating or

Sec.  63.342  Standards.

    (a)(1) At all times, each owner or operator must operate and 
maintain any affected source subject to the requirements of this 
subpart, including associated air pollution control equipment and 
monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with safety and good air 
pollution control practices for minimizing emissions. The general duty 
to minimize emissions does not require the owner or operator to make any 
further efforts to reduce emissions if levels required by this standard 
have been achieved. Determination of whether such operation and 
maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information 
available to the Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, 
monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, 
review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the 
source.
    (2) Each owner or operator of an affected source subject to the 
provisions of this subpart shall comply with these requirements in this 
section on and after the compliance dates specified in Sec.  63.343(a). 
All affected sources are regulated by applying maximum achievable 
control technology.
    (b) Applicability of emission limitations. (1) The emission 
limitations in this section apply during tank operation as defined in 
Sec.  63.341, and during periods of startup and shutdown as these are 
routine occurrences for affected sources subject to this subpart. In 
response to an action to enforce the standards set forth in this 
subpart, the owner or operator may assert a defense to a claim for civil 
penalties for violations of such standards that are caused by a 
malfunction, as defined in 40 CFR 63.2. Appropriate penalties may be 
assessed, however, if the owner or operator fails to meet the burden of 
proving all the requirements in the affirmative defense. The affirmative 
defense shall not be available for claims for injunctive relief.
    (i) To establish the affirmative defense in any action to enforce 
such a standard, the owner or operator must timely meet the reporting 
requirements of paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section, and must prove by 
a preponderance of evidence that:
    (A) The violation was caused by a sudden, infrequent, and 
unavoidable failure of air pollution control equipment, process 
equipment, or a process to operate in a normal and usual manner; and 
could not have been prevented through careful planning, proper design or 
better operation and maintenance practices; and did not stem from any 
activity or event that could have been foreseen and avoided, or planned 
for; and was not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate 
design, operation, or maintenance; and
    (B) Repairs were made as expeditiously as possible when exceeded 
violation occurred. Off-shift and overtime labor were used, to the 
extent practicable to make these repairs; and
    (C) The frequency, amount and duration of the violation (including 
any bypass) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable; and
    (D) If the violation resulted from a bypass of control equipment or 
a process, then the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, 
personal injury, or severe property damage; and
    (E) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the 
violation on ambient air quality, the environment, and human health; and
    (F) All emissions monitoring and control systems were kept in 
operation if at all possible, consistent with safety and good air 
pollution control practices; and
    (G) All of the actions in response to the violation were documented 
by

[[Page 482]]

properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs; and
    (H) At all times, the affected sources were operated in a manner 
consistent with good practices for minimizing emissions; and
    (I) A written root cause analysis was prepared, the purpose of which 
is to determine, correct, and eliminate the primary causes of the 
malfunction and the excess emissions resulting from the malfunction 
event at issue. The analysis shall also specify, using the best 
monitoring methods and engineering judgment, the amount of excess 
emissions that were the result of the malfunction.
    (ii) Report. The owner or operator seeking to assert an affirmative 
defense shall submit a written report to the Administrator with all 
necessary supporting documentation, that it has met the requirements set 
forth in paragraph (i) of this section. This affirmative defense report 
shall be included in the first periodic compliance, deviation report or 
excess emission report otherwise required after the initial occurrence 
of the violation of the relevant standard (which may be the end of any 
applicable averaging period). If such compliance, deviation report or 
excess emission report is due less than 45 days after the initial 
occurrence of the violation, the affirmation defense report may be 
included in the second compliance, deviation report or excess emission 
report due after the initial occurrence of the violation of the relevant 
standard.
    (2) If an owner or operator is controlling a group of tanks with a 
common add-on air pollution control device, the emission limitations of 
paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) of this section apply whenever any one 
affected source is operated. The emission limitation that applies to the 
group of affected sources is:
    (i) The emission limitation identified in paragraphs (c), (d), and 
(e) of this section if the affected sources are performing the same type 
of operation (e.g., hard chromium electroplating), are subject to the 
same emission limitation, and are not controlled by an add-on air 
pollution control device also controlling nonaffected sources;
    (ii) The emission limitation calculated according to Sec.  
63.344(e)(3) if affected sources are performing the same type of 
operation, are subject to the same emission limitation, and are 
controlled with an add-on air pollution control device that is also 
controlling nonaffected sources; and
    (iii) The emission limitation calculated according to Sec.  
63.344(e)(4) if affected sources are performing different types of 
operations, or affected sources are performing the same operations but 
subject to different emission limitations, and are controlled with an 
add-on air pollution control device that may also be controlling 
emissions from nonaffected sources.

plan is identified in Sec.  63.346(b). Reporting associated with the 
operation and maintenance plan is identified in Sec.  63.347 (g) and (h) 
and paragraph (f)(3)(iv) of this section.
    (iv) If actions taken by the owner or operator during periods of 
malfunction are inconsistent with the procedures specified in the 
operation and maintenance plan required by paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall record the actions taken for that 
event and shall report by phone such actions within 2 working days after 
commencing actions inconsistent with the plan. This report shall be 
followed by a letter within 7 working days after the end of the event, 
unless the owner or operator makes alternative reporting arrangements, 
in advance, with the Administrator.
    (v) The owner or operator shall keep the written operation and 
maintenance plan on record after it is developed to be made available 
for inspection, upon request, by the Administrator for the life of the 
affected source or until the source is no longer subject to the 
provisions of this subpart. In addition, if the operation and 
maintenance plan is revised, the owner or operator shall keep previous 
(i.e., superseded) versions of the operation and maintenance plan on 
record to be made available for inspection, upon request, by the 
Administrator for a period of 5 years after each revision to the plan.
    (vi) To satisfy the requirements of paragraph (f)(3) of this 
section, the owner or operator may use applicable standard operating 
procedure (SOP) manuals, Occupational Safety and Health Administration 
(OSHA) plans, or other existing plans, provided the alternative plans 
meet the requirements of this section.

\a\ If greater than 50 percent of the scrubber water is drained (e.g.,
  for maintenance purposes), makeup water may be added to the scrubber
  basin.
\b\ For horizontal-flow scrubbers, top is defined as the section of the
  unit directly above the packing media such that the makeup water would
  flow perpendicular to the air flow through the packing. For vertical-
  flow units, the top is defined as the area downstream of the packing
  material such that the makeup water would flow countercurrent to the
  air flow through the unit.
\c\ Work practice standards for the control device installed upstream of
  the fiber-bed mist eliminator to prevent plugging do not apply as long
  as the work practice standards for the fiber-bed unit are followed.

    (4) The owner or operator of a new area source (i.e., an area source 
for which construction or reconstruction was commenced after February 8, 
2012, that increases actual or potential emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants such that the area source becomes a major source must comply 
with the provisions for new major sources, immediately upon becoming a 
major source.
    (5) An owner or operator of an existing hard chromium electroplating 
tank or tanks located at a small, hard chromium electroplating facility 
that increases its maximum cumulative potential rectifier capacity, or 
its actual cumulative rectifier capacity, such that the facility becomes 
a large, hard chromium electroplating facility must comply with the 
requirements of Sec.  63.342(c)(1)(i) for all hard chromium 
electroplating tanks at the facility no later than 1 year after the 
month in which monthly records required by Sec. Sec.  63.342(c)(2) and 
63.346(b)(12) show that the large designation is met, or by the 
compliance date specified in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, 
whichever is later.
    (6) Request for an extension of compliance. An owner or operator of 
an affected source or sources that requests an extension of compliance 
shall do so in accordance with this paragraph and the applicable 
paragraphs of Sec.  63.6(i). When the owner or operator is requesting 
the extension for more than one affected source located at the facility, 
then only one request may be submitted for all affected sources at the 
facility.
    (i) The owner or operator of an existing affected source who is 
unable to comply with a relevant standard under this subpart may request 
that the Administrator (or a State, when the State has an approved part 
70 permit program and the source is required to obtain a part 70 permit 
under that program, or a State, when the State has been delegated the 
authority to implement and enforce the emission standard for that 
source) grant an extension allowing the owner or operator up to 1 
additional year to comply with the standard for the affected source. The 
owner or operator of an affected source who has requested an extension 
of compliance under this paragraph and is otherwise required to obtain a 
title V permit for the source shall apply for such permit or apply to 
have the title V permit revised to incorporate the conditions of the 
extension of compliance. The conditions of an extension of compliance 
granted under this paragraph will be incorporated into the owner or 
operator's title V permit for the affected source(s) according to the 
provisions of 40 CFR part 70 or 40 CFR part 71, whichever is applicable.
    (ii) Any request under this paragraph for an extension of compliance 
with a relevant standard shall be submitted in writing to the 
appropriate authority not later than 6 months before the affected 
source's compliance date as specified in this section.
    (7) An owner or operator of a decorative chromium electroplating 
tank that uses a trivalent chromium bath that incorporates a wetting 
agent, and that ceases using the trivalent chromium process, must comply 
with the emission limitation now applicable to the tank within 1 year of 
switching bath operation.
    (8) After March 19, 2013, the owner or operator of an affected 
source that is

[[Page 489]]

subject to the standards in paragraphs Sec.  63.342(c) or (d) shall 
implement the housekeeping procedures specified in Table 2 of Sec.  
63.342.
    (b) Methods to demonstrate initial compliance. (1) Except as 
provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, an owner or 
operator of an affected source subject to the requirements of this 
subpart is required to conduct an initial performance test as required 
under Sec.  63.7, using the procedures and test methods listed in 
Sec. Sec.  63.7 and 63.344.
    (2) If the owner or operator of an affected source meets all of the 
following criteria, an initial performance test is not required to be 
conducted under this subpart:
    (i) The affected source is a hard chromium electroplating tank, a 
decorative chromium electroplating tank or a chromium anodizing tank; 
and
    (ii) A wetting agent is used in the plating or anodizing bath to 
inhibit chromium emissions from the affected source; and
    (iii) The owner or operator complies with the applicable surface 
tension limit of Sec.  63.342(c)(1)(iii), (c)(2)(iii), or (d)(2) as

paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of this section.
    (3) If the affected source is a decorative chromium electroplating 
tank using a trivalent chromium bath, and the owner or operator is 
subject to the provisions of Sec.  63.342(e), an initial performance 
test is not required to be conducted under this subpart.
    (c) Monitoring to demonstrate continuous compliance. The owner or 
operator of an affected source subject to the emission limitations of 
this subpart shall conduct monitoring according to the type of air 
pollution control technique that is used to comply with the emission 
limitation. The monitoring required to demonstrate continuous compliance 
with the emission limitations is identified in this section for the air 
pollution control techniques expected to be used by the owners or 
operators of affected sources. As an alternative to the daily 
monitoring, the owner or operator of an affected source may install a 
continuous pressure monitoring system.
    (1) Composite mesh-pad systems. (i) During the initial performance 
test, the owner or operator of an affected source, or a group of 
affected sources under common control, complying with the emission 
limitations in Sec.  63.342 through the use of a composite mesh-pad 
system shall determine the outlet chromium concentration using the test 
methods and procedures in Sec.  63.344(c), and shall establish as a 
site-specific operating parameter the pressure drop across the system, 
setting the value that corresponds to compliance with the applicable 
emission limitation, using the procedures in Sec.  63.344(d)(5). An 
owner or operator may conduct multiple performance tests to establish a 
range of compliant pressure drop values, or may set as the compliant 
value the average pressure drop measured over the three test runs of one 
performance test and accept 2 inches of water 
column from this value as the compliant range.
    (ii) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is 
required to be completed under Sec.  63.7, the owner or operator of an 
affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, 
shall monitor and record the pressure drop across the composite mesh-pad 
system once each day that any affected source is operating. To be in 
compliance with the standards, the composite mesh-pad system shall be 
operated within 2 inches of water column of the 
pressure drop value established during the initial performance test, or 
shall be operated within the range of compliant values for pressure drop 
established during multiple performance tests.
    (iii) The owner or operator of an affected source complying with the 
emission limitations in Sec.  63.343 through the use of a composite 
mesh-pad system may repeat the performance test and establish as a new 
site-specific operating parameter the pressure drop across the composite 
mesh-pad system according to the requirements in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) or 
(ii) of this section. To establish a new site-specific operating 
parameter for pressure drop, the owner or operator shall satisfy the 
requirements specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(iii)(A) through (D) of this 
section.

[[Page 490]]

    (A) Determine the outlet chromium concentration using the test 
methods and procedures in Sec.  63.344(c);

through (8); and
    (D) Satisfy the reporting requirements in Sec.  63.347(d) and (f).
    (iv) The requirement to operate a composite mesh-pad system within 
the range of pressure drop values established under paragraphs (c)(1)(i) 
through (iii) of this section does not apply during automatic washdown 
cycles of the composite mesh-pad system.
    (2) Packed-bed scrubber systems. (i) During the initial performance 
test, the owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected 
sources under common control, complying with the emission limitations in 
Sec.  63.342 through the use of a packed-bed scrubber system shall 
determine the outlet chromium concentration using the procedures in 
Sec.  63.344(c), and shall establish as site-specific operating 
parameters the pressure drop across the system and the velocity pressure 
at the common inlet of the control device, setting the value that 
corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission limitation using 
the procedures in Sec.  63.344(d) (4) and (5). An owner or operator may 
conduct multiple performance tests to establish a range of compliant 
operating parameter values. Alternatively, the owner or operator may set 
as the compliant value the average pressure drop and inlet velocity 
pressure measured over the three test runs of one performance test, and 
accept 1 inch of water column from the pressure 
drop value and 10 percent from the velocity 
pressure value as the compliant range.
    (ii) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is 
required to be completed under Sec.  63.7, the owner or operator of an 
affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, 
shall monitor and record the velocity pressure at the inlet to the 
packed-bed system and the pressure drop across the scrubber system once 
each day that any affected source is operating. To be in compliance with 
the standards, the scrubber system shall be operated within 10 percent of the velocity pressure value established 
during the initial performance test, and within 1 
inch of water column of the pressure drop value established during the 
initial performance test, or within the range of compliant operating 
parameter values established during multiple performance tests.
    (3) Packed-bed scrubber/composite mesh-pad system. The owner or 
operator of an affected source, or group of affected sources under 
common control, that uses a packed-bed scrubber in conjunction with a 
composite mesh-pad system to meet the emission limitations of Sec.  
63.342 shall comply with the monitoring requirements for composite mesh-
pad systems as identified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (4) Fiber-bed mist eliminator. (i) During the initial performance 
test, the owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected 
sources under common control, complying with the emission limitations in 
Sec.  63.342 through the use of a fiber-bed mist eliminator shall 
determine the outlet chromium concentration using the procedures in 
Sec.  63.344(c), and shall establish as a site-specific operating 
parameter the pressure drop across the fiber-bed mist eliminator and the 
pressure drop across the control device installed upstream of the fiber 
bed to prevent plugging, setting the value that corresponds to 
compliance with the applicable emission limitation using the procedures 
in Sec.  63.344(d)(5). An owner or operator may conduct multiple 
performance tests to establish a range of compliant pressure drop 
values, or may set as the compliant value the average pressure drop 
measured over the three test runs of one performance test and accept 
1 inch of water column from this value as the 
compliant range.
    (ii) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is 
required to be completed under Sec.  63.7, the owner or operator of an 
affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, 
shall monitor and record the pressure drop across the fiber-bed mist 
eliminator, and the control device installed upstream of the fiber bed 
to prevent plugging, once each day that any affected source is 
operating. To be

[[Page 491]]

in compliance with the standards, the fiber-bed mist eliminator and the 
upstream control device shall be operated within 1 
inch of water column of the pressure drop value established during the 
initial performance test, or shall be operated within the range of 
compliant values for pressure drop established during multiple 
performance tests.
    (5) Wetting agent-type or combination wetting agent-type/foam 
blanket fume suppressants. (i) During the initial performance test, the 
owner or operator of an affected source complying with the emission 
limitations in Sec.  63.342 through the use of a wetting agent in the 
electroplating or anodizing bath shall determine the outlet chromium 
concentration using the procedures in Sec.  63.344(c). The owner or 
operator shall establish as the site-specific operating parameter the 
surface tension of the bath using Method 306B, appendix A of this part, 
setting the maximum value that corresponds to compliance with the 
applicable emission limitation. In lieu of establishing the maximum 
surface tension during the performance test, the owner or operator may 
accept 40 dynes/cm, as measured by a stalagmometer, or 33 dynes/cm, as 
measured by a tensiometer, as the maximum surface tension value that 
corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission limitation. 
However, the owner or operator is exempt from conducting a performance 
test only if the criteria of paragraph (b)(1) of this section are met.
    (ii) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is 
required to be completed under Sec.  63.7, the owner or operator of an 
affected source shall monitor the surface tension of the electroplating 
or anodizing bath. Operation of the affected source at a surface tension 
greater than the value established during the performance test, or 
greater than 40 dynes/cm, as measured by a stalagmometer, or 33 dynes/
cm, as measured by a tensiometer, if the owner or operator is using this 
value in accordance with paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this section, shall 
constitute noncompliance with the standards. The surface tension shall 
be monitored according to the following schedule:
    (iii) Once a bath solution is drained from the affected tank and a 
new solution added, the original monitoring schedule of once every 4 
hours must be resumed, with a decrease in monitoring frequency allowed 
following the procedures of paragraphs (c)(5)(ii) (B) and (C) of this 
section.
    (6) Foam blanket-type fume suppressants. (i) During the initial 
performance test, the owner or operator of an affected source complying 
with the emission limitations in Sec.  63.342 through the use of a foam 
blanket in the electroplating or anodizing bath shall determine the 
outlet chromium concentration using the procedures in Sec.  63.344(c), 
and shall establish as the site-specific operating parameter the 
thickness of the foam blanket, setting the minimum thickness that 
corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission limitation. In 
lieu of establishing the minimum foam blanket thickness during the 
performance test, the owner or operator may accept 2.54 centimeters (1 
inch) as the minimum foam blanket thickness that corresponds to 
compliance with the applicable emission limitation. All foam blanket 
measurements must be taken in close proximity to the workpiece or 
cathode area in the plating tank(s).
    (ii) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is 
required to be completed under Sec.  63.7, the owner or operator of an 
affected source shall monitor the foam blanket thickness of the 
electroplating or anodizing bath. Operation of the affected source at a 
foam blanket thickness less than the value established during the 
performance test, or less than 2.54 cm (1 inch) if the owner or operator 
is using this value in accordance with paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this 
section, shall constitute noncompliance with the standards. The foam 
blanket thickness shall be measured according to the following schedule:
    (iii) Once a bath solution is drained from the affected tank and a 
new solution added, the original monitoring schedule of once every hour 
must be resumed, with a decrease in monitoring frequency allowed 
following the procedures of paragraphs (c)(6)(ii) (B) and (C) of this 
section.
    (7) Fume suppressant/add-on control device. (i) If the owner or 
operator of an

[[Page 492]]

affected source uses both a fume suppressant and add-on control device 
and both are needed to comply with the applicable emission limit, 
monitoring requirements as identified in paragraphs (c) (1) through (6) 
of this section, and the work practice standards of Table 1 of Sec.  
63.342, apply for each of the control techniques used.
    (ii) If the owner or operator of an affected source uses both a fume 
suppressant and add-on control device, but only one of these techniques 
is needed to comply with the applicable emission limit, monitoring 
requirements as identified in paragraphs (c) (1) through (6) of this 
section, and work practice standards of Table 1 of Sec.  63.342, apply 
only for the control technique used to achieve compliance.
    (8) Use of an alternative monitoring method. (i) Requests and 
approvals of alternative monitoring methods shall be considered in 
accordance with Sec.  63.8(f)(1), (f)(3), (f)(4), and (f)(5).
    (ii) After receipt and consideration of an application for an 
alternative monitoring method, the Administrator may approve 
alternatives to any monitoring methods or procedures of this subpart 
including, but not limited to, the following:
    (A) Alternative monitoring requirements when installation or use of 
monitoring devices specified in this subpart would not provide accurate 
measurements due to interferences caused by substances within the 
effluent gases; or
    (B) Alternative locations for installing monitoring devices when the 
owner or operator can demonstrate that installation at alternate 
locations will enable accurate and representative measurements.
    (d) An owner or operator who uses an air pollution control device 
not listed in this section shall submit a description of the device, 
test results collected in accordance with Sec.  63.344(c) verifying the 
performance of the device for reducing chromium emissions to the 
atmosphere to the level required by this subpart, a copy of the 
operation and maintenance plan referenced in Sec.  63.342(f) including 
operation and maintenance practices, and appropriate operating 
parameters that will be monitored to establish continuous compliance 
with the standards. The monitoring plan submitted identifying the 
continuous compliance monitoring is subject to the Administrator's 
approval.

for each run of Methods 306 and 306A, appendix A of this part shall be 
at least 120 minutes and 1.70 dscm (60 dscf), respectively. Methods 306 
and 306A, appendix A of this part allow the measurement of either total 
chromium or hexavalent chromium emissions. For the purposes of this 
standard, sources using chromic acid baths must demonstrate compliance 
with the emission limits of Sec.  63.342 by measuring the total 
chromium.
    (2) The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Method 425 (which is 
available by contacting the California Air Resources Board, 1102 Q 
Street, Sacramento, California 95814) may be used to determine the 
chromium concentration from hard and decorative chromium electroplating 
tanks and chromium anodizing tanks if the following conditions are met:
    (i) If a colorimetric analysis method is used, the sampling time and 
volume shall be sufficient to result in 33 to 66 micrograms of catch in 
the sampling train.
    (ii) If Atomic Absorption Graphite Furnace (AAGF) or Ion 
Chromatography with a Post-column Reactor (ICPCR) analyses were used, 
the sampling time and volume should be sufficient to result in a sample 
catch that is 5 to 10 times the minimum detection limit of the 
analytical method (i.e., 1.0 microgram per liter of sample for AAGF and 
0.5 microgram per liter of sample for ICPCR).
    (iii) In the case of either paragraph (c)(2) (i) or (ii) of this 
section, a minimum of 3 separate runs must be conducted. The other 
requirements of Sec.  63.7 that apply to affected sources, as indicated

[[Page 494]]

    (d) Establishing site-specific operating parameter values. (1) Each 
owner or operator required to establish site-specific operating 
parameters shall follow the procedures in this section.
    (2) All monitoring equipment shall be installed such that 
representative measurements of emissions or process parameters from the 
affected source are obtained. For monitoring equipment purchased from a 
vendor, verification of the operational status of the monitoring 
equipment shall include execution of the manufacturer's written 
specifications or recommendations for installation, operation, and 
calibration of the system.
    (i) Specifications for differential pressure measurement devices 
used to measure velocity pressure shall be in accordance with section 
2.2 of Method 2 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A).
    (ii) Specification for differential pressure measurement devices 
used to measure pressure drop across a control system shall be in 
accordance with manufacturer's accuracy specifications.
    (3) The surface tension of electroplating and anodizing baths shall 
be measured using Method 306B, ``Surface Tension Measurement and 
Recordkeeping for Tanks used at Decorative Chromium Electroplating and 
Anodizing Facilities,'' appendix A of this part. This method should also 
be followed when wetting agent type or combination wetting agent/foam 
blanket type fume suppressants are used to control chromium emissions 
from a hard chromium electroplating tank and surface tension measurement 
is conducted to demonstrate continuous compliance.
    (4) The owner or operator of a source required to measure the 
velocity pressure at the inlet to an add-on air pollution control device 
in accordance with Sec.  63.343(c)(2), shall establish the site-specific 
velocity pressure as follows:
    (i) Locate a velocity traverse port in a section of straight duct 
that connects the hooding on the plating tank or tanks with the control 
device. The port shall be located as close to the control system as 
possible, and shall be placed a minimum of 2 duct diameters downstream 
and 0.5 diameter upstream of any flow disturbance such as a bend, 
expansion, or contraction (see Method 1, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A). If 
2.5 diameters of straight duct work does not exist, locate the port 0.8 
of the duct diameter downstream and 0.2 of the duct diameter upstream 
from any flow disturbance.
    (ii) A 12-point velocity traverse of the duct to the control device 
shall be conducted along a single axis according to Method 2 (40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A) using an S-type pitot tube; measurement of the 
barometric pressure and duct temperature at each traverse point is not 
required, but is suggested. Mark the S-type pitot tube as specified in 
Method 1 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) with 12 points. Measure the 
velocity pressure ([Delta] p) values for the velocity points and record. 
Determine the square root of the individual velocity point [Delta] p 
values and average. The point with the square root value that comes 
closest to the average square root value is the point of average 
velocity. The [Delta] p value measured for this point during the 
performance test will be used as the reference for future monitoring.
    (5) The owner or operator of a source required to measure the 
pressure drop across the add-on air pollution control device in 
accordance with Sec.  63.343(c) (1) through (4) may establish the 
pressure drop in accordance with the following guidelines:
    (i) Pressure taps shall be installed at any of the following 
locations:
    (A) At the inlet and outlet of the control system. The inlet tap 
should be installed in the ductwork just prior to the control device and 
the corresponding outlet pressure tap should be installed on the outlet 
side of the control device prior to the blower or on the downstream side 
of the blower;
    (B) On each side of the packed bed within the control system or on 
each side of each mesh pad within the control system; or
    (C) On the front side of the first mesh pad and back side of the 
last mesh pad within the control system.
    (ii) Pressure taps shall be sited at locations that are:
    (A) Free from pluggage as possible and away from any flow 
disturbances such as cyclonic demisters.

[[Page 495]]

    (B) Situated such that no air infiltration at measurement site will 
occur that could bias the measurement.
    (iii) Pressure taps shall be constructed of either polyethylene, 
polybutylene, or other nonreactive materials.
    (iv) Nonreactive plastic tubing shall be used to connect the 
pressure taps to the device used to measure pressure drop.
    (v) Any of the following pressure gauges can be used to monitor 
pressure drop: a magnehelic gauge, an inclined manometer, or a ``U'' 
tube manometer.
    (vi) Prior to connecting any pressure lines to the pressure 
gauge(s), each gauge should be zeroed. No calibration of the pressure 
gauges is required.
    (e) Special compliance provisions for multiple sources controlled by 
a common add-on air pollution control device. (1) This section 
identifies procedures for measuring the outlet chromium concentration 
from an add-on air pollution control device that is used to control 
multiple sources that may or may not include sources not affected by 
this subpart.
    (2) When multiple affected sources performing the same type of 
operation (e.g., all are performing hard chromium electroplating), and 
subject to the same emission limitation, are controlled with an add-on 
air pollution control device that is not controlling emissions from any 
other type of affected operation or from any nonaffected sources, the 
applicable emission limitation identified in Sec.  63.342 must be met at 
the outlet of the add-on air pollution control device.
    (3) When multiple affected sources performing the same type of 
operation and subject to the same emission limitation are controlled 
with a common add-on air pollution control device that is also 
controlling emissions from sources not affected by these standards, the 
following procedures should be followed to determine compliance with the 
applicable emission limitation in Sec.  63.342:
    (i) Calculate the cross-sectional area of each inlet duct (i.e., 
uptakes from each hood) including those not affected by the standard.
    (ii) Determine the total sample time per test run by dividing the 
total inlet area from all tanks connected to the control system by the 
total inlet area for all ducts associated with affected sources, and 
then multiply this number by 2 hours. The calculated time is the minimum 
sample time required per test run.
    (iii) Perform Method 306 or 306A testing and calculate an outlet 
mass emission rate.
    (iv) Determine the total ventilation rate from the affected sources 
(VRinlet) by using equation 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE12.000

where VRtot is the average total ventilation rate in dscm/min 
for the three test runs as determined at the outlet by means of the 
Method 306 or 306A testing; IDAi is the total inlet area for 
all ducts associated with affected sources; [sum]IAtotal is 
the sum of all inlet duct areas from both affected and nonaffected 
sources; and VRinlet is the total ventilation rate from all 
inlet ducts associated with affected sources.

    (v) Establish the allowable mass emission rate of the system 
(AMRsys) in milligrams of total chromium per hour (mg/hr) 
using equation 2:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE12.001

where [Sigma] VRinlet is the total ventilation rate in dscm/
min from the affected sources, and EL is the applicable emission 
limitation from Sec.  63.342 in mg/dscm. The allowable mass emission 
rate (AMRsys) calculated from equation 2 should be equal to 
or more than the outlet three-run average mass emission rate determined 
from Method 306 or 306A testing in

[[Page 496]]

order for the source to be in compliance with the standard.

    (4) When multiple affected sources performing different types of 
operations (e.g., hard chromium electroplating, decorative chromium 
electroplating, or chromium anodizing) are controlled by a common add-on 
air pollution control device that may or may not also be controlling 
emissions from sources not affected by these standards, or if the 
affected sources controlled by the common add-on air pollution control 
device perform the same operation but are subject to different emission 
limitations (e.g., because one is a new hard chromium plating tank and 
one is an existing small, hard chromium plating tank), the following 
procedures should be followed to determine compliance with the 
applicable emission limitation in Sec.  63.342:
    (i) Follow the steps outlined in paragraphs (e)(3)(i) through 
(e)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (ii) Determine the total ventilation rate for each type of affected 
source (VRinlet,a) using equation 3:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE12.002

where VRtot is the average total ventilation rate in dscm/min 
for the three test runs as determined at the outlet by means of the 
Method 306 or 306A testing; IDAi,a is the total inlet duct 
area for all ducts conveying chromic acid from each type of affected 
source performing the same operation, or each type of affected source 
subject to the same emission limitation; [sum]IAtotal is the 
sum of all duct areas from both affected and nonaffected sources; and 
VRinlet,a is the total ventilation rate from all inlet ducts 
conveying chromic acid from each type of affected source performing the 
same operation, or each type of affected source subject to the same 
emission limitation.

    (iii) Establish the allowable mass emission rate in mg/hr for each 
type of affected source that is controlled by the add-on air pollution 
control device using equation 4, 5, 6, or 7 as appropriate:

VRhc1 x ELhc1 x 60 minutes/hour = 
AMRhc1 (4)

VRhc2 x ELhc2 x 60 minutes/hour = 
AMRhc2 (5)

VRdc x ELdc x 60 minutes/hour = AMRdc 
(6)

VRca x ELca x 60 minutes/hour = AMRca 
(7)

where ``hc'' applies to the total of ventilation rates for all hard 
          chromium electroplating tanks subject to the same emission 
          limitation, ``dc'' applies to the total of ventilation rates 
          for the decorative chromium electroplating tanks, ``ca'' 
          applies to the total of ventilation rates for the chromium 
          anodizing tanks, and EL is the applicable emission limitation 
          from Sec.  63.342 in mg/dscm. There are two equations for hard 
          chromium electroplating tanks because different emission 
          limitations may apply (e.g., a new tank versus an existing, 
          small tank).
    (iv) Establish the allowable mass emission rate of the system 
(AMRsys) in milligrams of total chromium per hour (mg/hr) 
using equation 8, including each type of affected source as appropriate:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE12.003

    The allowable mass emission rate calculated from equation 8 should 
be equal to or more than the outlet three-run average mass emission rate 
determined from Method 306 or 306A testing in order for the source to be 
in compliance with the standards.
    (5) Each owner or operator that uses the special compliance 
provisions of this paragraph to demonstrate compliance with the emission 
limitations of

[[Page 497]]

Sec.  63.342 shall submit the measurements and calculations to support 
these compliance methods with the notification of compliance status 
required by Sec.  63.347(e).
    (6) Each owner or operator that uses the special compliance 
provisions of this section to demonstrate compliance with the emission 
limitations of Sec.  63.342 shall repeat these procedures if a tank is 
added or removed from the control system regardless of whether that tank 
is a nonaffected source. If the new nonaffected tank replaces an 
existing nonaffected tank of the same size and is connected to the 
control system through the same size inlet duct then this procedure does 
not have to be repeated.
    (f) Compliance provisions for the mass rate emission standard for 
enclosed hard chromium electroplating tanks. (1) This section identifies 
procedures for calculating the maximum allowable mass emission rate for 
owners or operators of affected sources who choose to meet the mass 
emission rate standard in Sec.  63.342(c)(2)(iv) or (v).
    (i)(A) The owner or operator of an enclosed hard chromium 
electroplating tank that is an existing affected source and is located 
at a large hard chromium electroplating facility who chooses to meet the 
mass emission rate standard in Sec.  63.342(c)(2)(iv) shall determine 
compliance by not allowing the mass rate of total chromium in the 
exhaust gas stream discharged to the atmosphere to exceed the maximum 
allowable mass emission rate calculated using equation 9:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE12.004

    (B) Compliance with the alternative mass emission limit is 
demonstrated if the three-run average mass emission rate determined from 
Method 306 testing is less than or equal to the maximum allowable mass 
emission rate calculated from equation 9.
    (ii)(A) The owner or operator of an enclosed hard chromium 
electroplating tank that is an existing affected source located at a 
small hard chromium electroplating facility who chooses to meet the mass 
emission rate standard in Sec.  63.342(c)(2)(v) shall determine 
compliance by not allowing the mass rate of total chromium in the 
exhaust gas stream discharged to the atmosphere to exceed the maximum 
allowable mass emission rate calculated using equation 10:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE12.005

    (B) Compliance with the alternative mass emission limit is 
demonstrated if the three-run average mass emission rate determined from 
testing using Method 306 of appendix A to part 63 is less than or equal 
to the maximum allowable mass emission rate calculated from equation 10.
    (iii)(A) The owner or operator of an enclosed hard chromium 
electroplating tank that is a new source who chooses to meet the mass 
emission rate standard in Sec.  63.342(c)(2)(vii) shall determine 
compliance by not allowing the mass rate of total chromium in the 
exhaust gas stream discharged to the atmosphere to exceed the maximum 
allowable mass emission rate calculated using equation 11:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE12.006


[[Page 498]]


    (B) Compliance with the alternative mass emission limit is 
demonstrated if the three-run average mass emission rate determined from 
testing using Method 306 or 306A of appendix A to part 63 is less than 
or equal to the maximum allowable mass emission rate calculated from 
equation 11.

(b)(1), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (f)(1), as well as the provisions of this 
paragraph.
    (1) After January 25, 1995, whether or not an approved permit 
program is effective in the State in which an affected source is (or 
would be) located, no person may construct a new affected source or 
reconstruct an affected source subject to this subpart, or reconstruct a 
source such that it becomes an affected source subject to this subpart, 
without submitting a notification of construction or reconstruction to 
the Administrator. The notification shall contain the information 
identified in paragraphs (b) (2) and (3) of this section, as 
appropriate.
    (2) The notification of construction or reconstruction required 
under paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall include:
    (i) The owner or operator's name, title, and address;
    (ii) The address (i.e., physical location) or proposed address of 
the affected source if different from the owner's or operator's;
    (iii) A notification of intention to construct a new affected source 
or make any physical or operational changes to an affected source that 
may meet or has been determined to meet the criteria for a 
reconstruction as defined in Sec.  63.2;

calculations and vendor information on control device efficiency, 
expressed in units consistent with the emission limits of this subpart. 
Calculations of emission estimates should be in sufficient detail to 
permit assessment of the validity of the calculations.
    (3) If a reconstruction is to occur, the notification required under 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall include the following in addition 
to the information required in paragraph (b)(2) of this section:
    (i) A brief description of the affected source and the components to 
be replaced;

technical or economic limitations affect the source's ability to comply 
with the relevant standard and how they do so.

[[Page 499]]

    (vi) If in the notification of reconstruction, the owner or operator 
designates the affected source as a reconstructed source and declares 
that there are no economic or technical limitations to prevent the 
source from complying with all relevant standards or requirements, the 
owner or operator need not submit the information required in paragraphs 
(b)(3) (iii) through (v) of this section.
    (4) The owner or operator of a new or reconstructed affected source 
that submits a notification in accordance with paragraphs (b) (1) 
through (3) of this section is not subject to approval by the 
Administrator. Construction or reconstruction is subject only to 
notification and can begin upon submission of a complete notification.
    (5) Submittal timeframes. After January 25, 1995, whether or not an 
approved permit program is effective in the State in which an affected 
source is (or would be) located, an owner or operator of a new or 
reconstructed affected source shall submit the notification of 
construction or reconstruction required by paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section according to the following schedule:
    (i) If construction or reconstruction commences after January 25, 
1995, the notification shall be submitted as soon as practicable before 
the construction or reconstruction is planned to commence.
    (ii) If the construction or reconstruction had commenced and initial 
startup had not occurred before January 25, 1995, the notification shall

    (2) Reports of performance test results shall be submitted no later 
than 90 days following the completion of the performance test, and shall 
be submitted as part of the notification of compliance status required 
by paragraph (e) of this section.
    (3)(i) Within 60 days after the date of completing each performance 
test (defined in Sec.  63.2) as required by this subpart, you must 
submit the results of the performance tests, including any associated 
fuel analyses, required by this subpart to the EPA's WebFIRE database by 
using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI) that 
is accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) (www.epa.gov/
cdx). Performance test data must be submitted in the file format 
generated through use of the EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) (see 
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/index.html). Only data collected using 
test methods on the ERT Web site are subject to this requirement for 
submitting reports electronically to WebFIRE. Owners or operators who 
claim that some of the information being submitted for performance tests 
is confidential business information (CBI) must submit a complete ERT 
file including information claimed to be CBI on a compact disk, flash 
drive or other commonly used electronic storage media to the EPA. The 
electronic media must be clearly marked as CBI and mailed to U.S. EPA/
OAPQS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: WebFIRE Administrator, MD C404-02, 
4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 27703. The same ERT file with the CBI 
omitted must be submitted to the EPA via CDX as described earlier in 
this paragraph. At the discretion of the delegated authority, you must 
also submit these reports, including the confidential business 
information, to the delegated authority in the format specified by the 
delegated authority. For any performance test conducted using test 
methods that are not listed on the ERT Web site, the owner or operator 
shall submit the results of the performance test to the Administrator at 
the appropriate address listed in Sec.  63.13.

[[Page 503]]

    (g) Ongoing compliance status reports for major sources. (1) The 
owner or operator of an affected source that is located at a major 
source site shall submit a summary report to the Administrator to 
document the ongoing compliance status of the affected source. The 
report shall contain the information identified in paragraph (g)(3) of 
this section, and shall be submitted semiannually except when:
    (i) The Administrator determines on a case-by-case basis that more 
frequent reporting is necessary to accurately assess the compliance 
status of the source; or
    (ii) The monitoring data collected by the owner or operator of the 
affected source in accordance with Sec.  63.343(c) show that the 
emission limit has been exceeded, in which case quarterly reports shall 
be submitted. Once an owner or operator of an affected source reports an 
exceedance, ongoing compliance status reports shall be submitted 
quarterly until a request to reduce reporting frequency under paragraph 
(g)(2) of this section is approved.
    (2) Request to reduce frequency of ongoing compliance status 
reports. (i) An owner or operator who is required to submit ongoing 
compliance status reports on a quarterly (or more frequent basis) may 
reduce the frequency of reporting to semiannual if all of the following 
conditions are met:
    (A) For 1 full year (e.g., 4 quarterly or 12 monthly reporting 
periods), the ongoing compliance status reports demonstrate that the 
affected source is in compliance with the relevant emission limit;
    (B) The owner or operator continues to comply with all applicable 
recordkeeping and monitoring requirements of subpart A of this part and 
this subpart; and
    (C) The Administrator does not object to a reduced reporting 
frequency for the affected source, as provided in paragraphs (g)(2) (ii) 
and (iii) of this section.
    (ii) The frequency of submitting ongoing compliance status reports 
may be reduced only after the owner or operator notifies the 
Administrator in writing of his or her intention to make such a change, 
and the Administrator does not object to the intended change. In 
deciding whether to approve a reduced reporting frequency, the 
Administrator may review information concerning the source's entire 
previous performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping period 
prior to the intended change, or the recordkeeping period since the 
source's compliance date, whichever is shorter. Records subject to 
review may include performance test results, monitoring data, and 
evaluations of an owner or operator's conformance with emission 
limitations and work practice standards. Such information may be used by 
the Administrator to make a judgment about the source's potential for 
noncompliance in the future. If the Administrator disapproves the owner 
or operator's request to reduce reporting frequency, the Administrator 
will notify the owner or operator in writing within 45 days after 
receiving notice of the owner or operator's intention. The notification 
from the Administrator to the owner or operator will specify the grounds 
on which the disapproval is based. In the absence of a notice of 
disapproval within 45 days, approval is automatically granted.
    (iii) As soon as the monitoring data required by Sec.  63.343(c) 
show that the source is not in compliance with the relevant emission 
limit, the frequency of reporting shall revert to quarterly, and the 
owner shall state this exceedance in the ongoing compliance status 
report for the next reporting period. After demonstrating ongoing 
compliance with the relevant emission limit for another full year, the 
owner or operator may again request approval from the Administrator to 
reduce the reporting frequency as allowed by paragraph (g)(2) of this 
section.
    (3) Contents of ongoing compliance status reports. The owner or 
operator of an affected source for which compliance monitoring is 
required in accordance with Sec.  63.343(c) shall prepare a summary 
report to document the ongoing compliance status of the source. The 
report must contain the following information:
    (i) The company name and address of the affected source;

[[Page 504]]

    (ii) An identification of the operating parameter that is monitored 
for compliance determination, as required by Sec.  63.343(c);
    (iii) The relevant emission limitation for the affected source, and 
the operating parameter value, or range of values, that correspond to 
compliance with this emission limitation as specified in the 
notification of compliance status required by paragraph (e) of this 
section;
    (iv) The beginning and ending dates of the reporting period;
    (v) A description of the type of process performed in the affected 
source;
    (vi) The total operating time of the affected source during the 
reporting period;
    (vii) If the affected source is a hard chromium electroplating tank 
and the owner or operator is limiting the maximum cumulative rectifier 
capacity in accordance with Sec.  63.342(c)(2), the actual cumulative 
rectifier capacity expended during the reporting period, on a month-by-
month basis;
    (viii) A summary of operating parameter values, including the total 
duration of excess emissions during the reporting period as indicated by 
those values, the total duration of excess emissions expressed as a 
percent of the total source operating time during that reporting period, 
and a breakdown of the total duration of excess emissions during the 
reporting period into those that are due to process upsets, control 
equipment malfunctions, other known causes, and unknown causes;
    (ix) A certification by a responsible official, as defined in Sec.  
63.2, that the work practice standards in Sec.  63.342(f) were followed 
in accordance with the operation and maintenance plan for the source;
    (x) If the operation and maintenance plan required by Sec.  
63.342(f)(3) was not followed, an explanation of the reasons for not 
following the provisions, an assessment of whether any excess emission 
and/or parameter monitoring exceedances are believed to have occurred, 
and a copy of the report(s) required by Sec.  63.342(f)(3)(iv) 
documenting that the operation and maintenance plan was not followed;
    (xi) A description of any changes in monitoring, processes, or 
controls since the last reporting period;
    (xii) The number, duration, and a brief description for each type of 
malfunction which occurred during the reporting period and which caused 
or may have caused any applicable emission limitation to be exceeded. 
The report must also include a description of actions taken by an owner 
or operator during a malfunction of an affected source to minimize 
emissions in accordance with Sec.  63.342(a)(1), including actions taken 
to correct a malfunction.
    (xiii) The name, title, and signature of the responsible official 
who is certifying the accuracy of the report; and
    (xiv) The date of the report.
    (4) When more than one monitoring device is used to comply with the 
continuous compliance monitoring required by Sec.  63.343(c), the owner 
or operator shall report the results as required for each monitoring 
device. However, when one monitoring device is used as a backup for the 
primary monitoring device, the owner or operator shall only report the 
results from the monitoring device used to meet the monitoring 
requirements of this subpart. If both devices are used to meet these 
requirements, then the owner or operator shall report the results from 
each monitoring device for the relevant compliance period.
    (h) Ongoing compliance status reports for area sources. The 
requirements of this paragraph do not alleviate affected area sources 
from complying with the requirements of State or Federal operating 
permit programs under 40 CFR part 71.
    (1) The owner or operator of an affected source that is located at 
an area source site shall prepare a summary report to document the 
ongoing compliance status of the affected source. The report shall 
contain the information identified in paragraph (g)(3) of this section, 
shall be completed annually and retained on site, and made available to 
the Administrator upon request. The report shall be completed annually 
except as provided in paragraph (h)(2) of this section.
    (2) Reports of exceedances. (i) If either of the following 
conditions is met,

[[Page 505]]

semiannual reports shall be prepared and submitted to the Administrator:
    (A) The total duration of excess emissions (as indicated by the 
monitoring data collected by the owner or operator of the affected 
source in accordance with Sec.  63.343(c)) is 1 percent or greater of 
the total operating time for the reporting period; or
    (B) The total duration of malfunctions of the add-on air pollution 
control device and monitoring equipment is 5 percent or greater of the 
total operating time.
    (ii) Once an owner or operator of an affected source reports an 
exceedance as defined in paragraph (h)(2)(i) of this section, ongoing 
compliance status reports shall be submitted semiannually until a 
request to reduce reporting frequency under paragraph (h)(3) of this 
section is approved.
    (iii) The Administrator may determine on a case-by-case basis that 
the summary report shall be completed more frequently and submitted, or 
that the annual report shall be submitted instead of being retained on 
site, if these measures are necessary to accurately assess the 
compliance status of the source.
    (3) Request to reduce frequency of ongoing compliance status 
reports. (i) An owner or operator who is required to submit ongoing 
compliance status reports on a semiannual (or more frequent) basis, or 
is required to submit its annual report instead of retaining it on site, 
may reduce the frequency of reporting to annual and/or be allowed to 
maintain the annual report onsite if all of the following conditions are 
met:
    (A) For 1 full year (e.g., 2 semiannual or 4 quarterly reporting 
periods), the ongoing compliance status reports demonstrate that the 
affected source is in compliance with the relevant emission limit;
    (B) The owner or operator continues to comply with all applicable 
recordkeeping and monitoring requirements of subpart A of this part and 
this subpart; and
    (C) The Administrator does not object to a reduced reporting 
frequency for the affected source, as provided in paragraphs (h)(3) (ii) 
and (iii) of this section.
    (ii) The frequency of submitting ongoing compliance status reports 
may be reduced only after the owner or operator notifies the 
Administrator in writing of his or her intention to make such a change, 
and the Administrator does not object to the intended change. In 
deciding whether to approve a reduced reporting frequency, the 
Administrator may review information concerning the source's previous 
performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping period prior to the 
intended change, or the recordkeeping period since the source's 
compliance date, whichever is shorter. Records subject to review may 
include performance test results, monitoring data, and evaluations of an 
owner or operator's conformance with emission limitations and work 
practice standards. Such information may be used by the Administrator to 
make a judgement about the source's potential for noncompliance in the 
future. If the Administrator disapproves the owner or operator's request 
to reduce reporting frequency, the Administrator will notify the owner 
or operator in writing within 45 days after receiving notice of the 
owner or operator's intention. The notification from the Administrator 
to the owner or operator will specify the grounds on which the 
disapproval is based. In the absence of a notice of disapproval within 
45 days, approval is automatically granted.
    (iii) As soon as the monitoring data required by Sec.  63.343(c) 
show that the source is not in compliance with the relevant emission 
limit, the frequency of reporting shall revert to semiannual, and the 
owner shall state this exceedance in the ongoing compliance status 
report for the next reporting period. After demonstrating ongoing 
compliance with the relevant emission limit for another full year, the 
owner or operator may again request approval from the Administrator to 
reduce the reporting frequency as allowed by paragraph (h)(3) of this 
section.
    (i) Reports associated with trivalent chromium baths. The 
requirements of this paragraph do not alleviate affected sources from 
complying with the requirements of State or Federal operating permit 
programs under title V. Owners or operators complying with

[[Page 506]]

the provisions of Sec.  63.342(e) are not subject to paragraphs (a) 
through (h) of this section, but must instead submit the following 
reports:
    (1) Within 180 days after January 25, 1995, submit an initial 
notification that includes:
    (i) The same information as is required by paragraphs (c)(1) (i) 
through (v) of this section; and
    (ii) A statement that a trivalent chromium process that incorporates 
a wetting agent will be used to comply with Sec.  63.342(e); and
    (iii) The list of bath components that comprise the trivalent 
chromium bath, with the wetting agent clearly identified; and
    (2) Within 30 days of the compliance date specified in Sec.  
63.343(a), a notification of compliance status that contains an update 
of the information submitted in accordance with paragraph (i)(1) of this 
section or a statement that the information is still accurate; and
    (3) Within 30 days of a change to the trivalent chromium 
electroplating process, a report that includes:
    (i) A description of the manner in which the process has been 
changed and the emission limitation, if any, now applicable to the 
affected source;
    (ii) If a different emission limitation applies, the applicable 
information required by paragraph (c)(1) of this section; and
    (iii) The notification and reporting requirements of paragraphs (d), 
(e), (f), (g), and (h) of this section, which shall be submitted in 
accordance with the schedules identified in those paragraphs.

to the emissions standards in Sec.  63.362 shall comply with the 
performance testing requirements in Sec.  63.7 of subpart A of this 
part, according to the applicability in Table 1 of Sec.  63.360, and in 
this section.
    (b) Efficiency at the sterilization chamber vent. California Air 
Resources Board (CARB) Method 431 or the following procedures shall be 
used to determine the efficiency of all types of control devices used to 
comply with Sec.  63.362(c), sterilization chamber vent standard.
    (1) First evacuation of the sterilization chamber. These procedures 
shall be performed on an empty sterilization chamber, charged with a 
typical amount of ethylene oxide, for the duration of the first 
evacuation under normal operating conditions (i.e., sterilization 
pressure and temperature).
    (i) The amount of ethylene oxide loaded into the sterilizer 
(Wc) shall be determined by either:
    (A) Weighing the ethylene oxide gas cylinder(s) used to charge the 
sterilizer before and after charging. Record these weights to the 
nearest 45 g (0.1 lb). Multiply the total mass of gas charged by the 
weight percent ethylene oxide present in the gas.
    (B) Installing calibrated rotameters at the sterilizer inlet and 
measuring flow rate and duration of sterilizer charge. Use the following 
equation to convert flow rate to weight of ethylene oxide:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06DE94.024

where:

Wc = weight of ethylene oxide charged, g (lb)
Fv = volumetric flow rate, liters per minute (L/min) 
          corrected to 20 [deg]C and 101.325 kilopascals (kPa) (scf per 
          minute (scfm) corrected to 68 [deg]F and 1 atmosphere of 
          pressure (atm)); the flowrate must be constant during time (t)
t = time, min
%EOV = volume fraction ethylene oxide
SV = standard volume, 24.05 liters per mole (L/mole) = 22.414 L/mole 
          ideal gas law constant corrected to 20 [deg]C and 101.325 kPa 
          (385.32 scf per mole (scf/mole) = 359 scf/mole ideal gas law 
          constant corrected to 68 [deg]F and 1 atm).
MW = molecular weight of ethylene oxide, 44.05 grams per gram-mole (g/g-
          mole) (44.05 pounds per pound-mole (lb/lb-mole)), or

    (C) Calculating the mass based on the conditions of the chamber

          psia[middot]ft\3\/mole[deg]R)
T = temperature, K ([deg]R)

    Note: If the ethylene oxide concentration is in weight percent, use 
the following equation to calculate mole fraction:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06DE94.026

where:

WEO = weight percent of ethylene oxide

[[Page 519]]

Wx = weight percent of compound in the balance of the mixture
MWx = molecular weight of compound in the balance gas mixture

    (ii) The residual mass of ethylene oxide in the sterilizer shall be 
determined by recording the chamber temperature, pressure, and volume 
after the completion of the first evacuation and using the following 
equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06DE94.027

where:

Wr = weight of ethylene oxide remaining in chamber (after the 
          first evacuation), in g (lb)

    (iii) Calculate the total mass of ethylene oxide at the inlet to the 
control device (Wi) by subtracting the residual mass 
(Wr) calculated in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section from 
the charged weight (Wc) calculated in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of 
this section.
    (iv) The mass of ethylene oxide emitted from the control device 
outlet (Wo) shall be calculated by continuously monitoring 
the flow rate and concentration using the following procedure.

continuously during the first evacuation using the procedure found in 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A, Test Methods 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D, as appropriate. 
(Method 2D (using orifice plates or Rootstype meters) is recommended for 
measuring flow rates from sterilizer control devices.) Record the flow 
rate at 1-minute intervals throughout the test cycle, taking the first 
reading within 15 seconds after time zero. Time zero is defined as the 
moment when the pressure in the sterilizer is released. Correct the flow 
to standard conditions (20 [deg]C and 101.325 kPa (68 [deg]F and 1 atm)) 
and determine the flow rate for the run as outlined in the test methods 
listed in paragraph (b) of this section.

referred to as Method 18 or 25A, respectively), shall be used to measure 
the concentration of ethylene oxide.
    (1) Prepare a graph of volumetric flow rate versus time 
corresponding to the period of the run cycle. Integrate the area under 
the curve to determine the volume.

    (2) Pressure test of the cargo tank's internal vapor valve as 
follows:
    (i) After completing the tests under paragraph (e)(1) of this 
section, use the procedures in Method 27 to repressurize the tank to 460 
mm H2 O (18 in. H2 O), gauge. Close the tank's 
internal vapor valve(s), thereby isolating the vapor return line and 
manifold from the tank.
    (ii) Relieve the pressure in the vapor return line to atmospheric 
pressure, then reseal the line. After 5 minutes, record the gauge 
pressure in the vapor return line and manifold. The maximum allowable 5-
minute pressure increase is 130 mm H2 O (5 in. H2 
O).
    (f) Leak detection test. The leak detection test shall be performed 
using Method 21, appendix A, 40 CFR part 60, except omit section 4.3.2 
of Method 21. A vapor-tight gasoline cargo tank shall have no leaks at 
any time when tested according to the procedures in this paragraph.
    (1) The leak definition shall be 21,000 ppm as propane. Use propane 
to calibrate the instrument, setting the span at the leak definition. 
The response time to 90 percent of the final stable reading shall be 
less than 8 seconds for the detector with the sampling line and probe 
attached.
    (2) In addition to the procedures in Method 21, include the 
following procedures:
    (i) Perform the test on each compartment during loading of that 
compartment or while the compartment is still under pressure.
    (ii) To eliminate a positive instrument drift, the dwell time for 
each leak detection shall not exceed two times the instrument response 
time. Purge the instrument with ambient air

[[Page 535]]

between each leak detection. The duration of the purge shall be in 
excess of two instrument response times.
    (iii) Attempt to block the wind from the area being monitored. 
Record the highest detector reading and location for each leak.
    (g) Nitrogen pressure decay field test. For those cargo tanks with 
manifolded product lines, this test procedure shall be conducted on each 
compartment.
    (1) Record the cargo tank capacity. Upon completion of the loading 
operation, record the total volume loaded. Seal the cargo tank vapor 
collection system at the vapor coupler. The sealing apparatus shall have 
a pressure tap. Open the internal vapor valve(s) of the cargo tank and 
record the initial headspace pressure. Reduce or increase, as necessary, 
the initial headspace pressure to 460 mm H2 O (18.0 in. 
H2 O), gauge by releasing pressure or by adding commercial 
grade nitrogen gas from a high pressure cylinder capable of maintaining 
a pressure of 2,000 psig.
    (i) The cylinder shall be equipped with a compatible two-stage 
regulator with a relief valve and a flow control metering valve. The 
flow rate of the nitrogen shall be no less than 2 cfm. The maximum 
allowable time to pressurize cargo tanks with headspace volumes of 1,000 
gallons or less to the appropriate pressure is 4 minutes. For cargo 
tanks with a headspace of greater than 1,000 gallons, use as a maximum 
allowable time to pressurize 4 minutes or the result from the equation 
below, whichever is greater.

T = Vh x 0.004

where:

T = maximum allowable time to pressurize the cargo tank, min;
Vh = cargo tank headspace volume during testing, gal.

    (2) It is recommended that after the cargo tank headspace pressure 
reaches approximately 460 mm H2 O (18 in. H20), 
gauge, a fine adjust valve be used to adjust the headspace pressure to 
460 mm H2 O (18.0 in. H2 O), gauge for the next 30 
5 seconds.
    (3) Reseal the cargo tank vapor collection system and record the 
headspace pressure after 1 minute. The measured headspace pressure after 
1 minute shall be greater than the minimum allowable final headspace 
pressure (PF) as calculated from the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26JN95.000

where:

(PF) = minimum allowable final headspace pressure, in. 
          H2 O, gauge;
Vs = total cargo tank shell capacity, gal;
Vh = cargo tank headspace volume after loading, gal;
18.0 = initial pressure at start of test, in. H2 O, gauge;
N = 5-minute continuous performance standard at any time from the third 
          column of Table 2 of Sec.  63.425(e)(i), inches H2 
          O.

    (4) Conduct the internal vapor valve portion of this test by 
repressurizing the cargo tank headspace with nitrogen to 460 mm 
H2 O (18 in. H2 O), gauge. Close the internal 
vapor valve(s), wait for 30 5 seconds, then 
relieve the pressure downstream of the vapor valve in the vapor 
collection system to atmospheric pressure. Wait 15 seconds, then reseal 
the vapor collection system. Measure and record the pressure every 
minute for 5 minutes. Within 5 seconds of the pressure measurement at 
the end of 5 minutes, open the vapor valve and record the headspace 
pressure as the ``final pressure.''
    (5) If the decrease in pressure in the vapor collection system is 
less than at least one of the interval pressure change values in Table 3 
of this paragraph, or if the final pressure is equal to or greater than 
20 percent of the 1-minute final headspace pressure determined in the 
test in paragraph (g)(3) of this section, then the cargo tank is 
considered to be a vapor-tight gasoline cargo tank.

    (a) Each owner or operator of a bulk gasoline terminal subject to 
the provisions of this subpart shall install, calibrate, certify, 
operate, and maintain, according to the manufacturer's specifications, a 
continuous monitoring system (CMS) as specified in paragraph (a)(1), 
(a)(2), (a)(3), or (a)(4) of this section, except as allowed in 
paragraph (a)(5) of this section.
    (1) Where a carbon adsorption system is used, a continuous emission 
monitoring system (CEMS) capable of measuring organic compound 
concentration shall be installed in the exhaust air stream.
    (2) Where a refrigeration condenser system is used, a continuous 
parameter monitoring system (CPMS) capable of measuring temperature 
shall be installed immediately downstream from the outlet to the 
condenser section. Alternatively, a CEMS capable of measuring organic 
compound concentration may be installed in the exhaust air stream.
    (3) Where a thermal oxidation system other than a flare is used, a 
CPMS capable of measuring temperature must be installed in the firebox 
or in the ductwork immediately downstream from the firebox in a position 
before any substantial heat exchange occurs.
    (4) Where a flare meeting the requirements in Sec.  63.11(b) is 
used, a heat-sensing device, such as an ultraviolet beam sensor or a 
thermocouple, must be installed in proximity to the pilot light to 
indicate the presence of a flame.
    (5) Monitoring an alternative operating parameter or a parameter of 
a vapor processing system other than those listed in this paragraph will 
be allowed upon demonstrating to the Administrator's satisfaction that 
the alternative parameter demonstrates continuous compliance with the 
emission standard in Sec.  63.422(b) or Sec.  60.112b(a)(3)(ii) of this 
chapter.
    (b) Each owner or operator of a bulk gasoline terminal subject to 
the provisions of this subpart shall operate the vapor processing system 
in a manner not to exceed the operating parameter

[[Page 537]]

value for the parameter described in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of 
this section, or to go below the operating parameter value for the 
parameter described in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, and established 
using the procedures in Sec.  63.425(b). In cases where an alternative 
parameter pursuant to paragraph (a)(5) of this section is approved, each 
owner or operator shall operate the vapor processing system in a manner 
not to exceed or not to go below, as appropriate, the alternative 
operating parameter value. Operation of the vapor processing system in a 
manner exceeding or going below the operating parameter value, as 
specified above, shall constitute a violation of the emission standard 
in Sec.  63.422(b).
    (c) Each owner or operator of gasoline storage vessels subject to 
the provisions of Sec.  63.423 shall comply with the monitoring 
requirements in Sec.  60.116b of this chapter, except records shall be 
kept for at least 5 years. If a closed vent system and control device 
are used, as specified in Sec.  60.112b(a)(3) of this chapter, to comply 
with the requirements in Sec.  63.423, the owner or operator shall also 
comply with the requirements in paragraph (a) of this section.

or connections to covers required by Sec.  63.450, or if an instrument 
reading of 500 parts per million by volume or greater above background 
is measured, or if enclosure openings are not maintained at negative 
pressure, then the following corrective actions shall be taken as soon 
as practicable.
    (i) A first effort to repair or correct the closed-vent system shall 
be made

[[Page 555]]

as soon as practicable but no later than 5 calendar days after the 
problem is identified.
    (ii) The repair or corrective action shall be completed no later 
than 15 calendar days after the problem is identified. Delay of repair 
or corrective action is allowed if the repair or corrective action is 
technically infeasible without a process unit shutdown or if the owner

paragraphs (j)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section or any of the 
monitoring parameters specified in paragraph (j)(2) of this section are 
below minimum operating parameter values or above maximum operating 
parameter values established in paragraph (n) of this section.
    (1) As soon as practical after the beginning of the monitoring 
parameter excursion, the following requirements shall be met:
    (i) Before the steps in paragraph (p)(1)(ii) or (iii) of this 
section are performed, all sampling and measurements necessary to meet 
the requirements in paragraph (p)(2) of this section shall be conducted.
    (ii) Steps shall be taken to repair or adjust the operation of the 
process to end the parameter excursion period.
    (iii) Steps shall be taken to minimize total HAP emissions to the 
atmosphere during the parameter excursion period.
    (2) A parameter excursion is not a violation of the applicable 
emission standard if the results of the performance test conducted using 
the procedures in this paragraph demonstrate compliance with the 
applicable emission limit in Sec.  63.446(e)(2).
    (i) Conduct a performance test as specified in Sec.  63.457 using 
the monitoring data specified in paragraph (j)(1) or (2) of this section 
that coincides with the time of the parameter excursion. No maintenance 
or changes shall be made to the open biological treatment system after 
the beginning of a parameter excursion that would influence the results 
of the performance test.
    (ii) If the results of the performance test specified in paragraph 
(p)(2)(i) of this section demonstrate compliance with the applicable 
emission limit in Sec.  63.446(e)(2), then the parameter excursion is 
not a violation of the applicable emission limit.
    (iii) If the results of the performance test specified in paragraph 
(p)(2)(i) of this section do not demonstrate compliance with the 
applicable emission limit in Sec.  63.446(e)(2) because the total HAP 
mass entering the open biological treatment system is below the level 
needed to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in 
Sec.  63.446(e)(2), then the owner or operator shall perform the 
following comparisons:
    (A) If the value of fbio (MeOH) determined during the 
performance test specified in paragraph (p)(2)(i) of this section is 
within the range of values established during the initial and subsequent 
performance tests approved by the Administrator, then the parameter 
excursion is not a violation of the applicable standard.
    (B) If the value of fbio (MeOH) determined during the 
performance test specified in paragraph (p)(2)(i) of this section is not 
within the range of values established during the initial and subsequent 
performance tests approved by the Administrator, then the parameter 
excursion is a violation of the applicable standard.
    (iv) The results of the performance test specified in paragraph 
(p)(2)(i) of this section shall be recorded as specified in Sec.  
63.454(f).
    (3) If an owner or operator determines that performing the required 
procedures under paragraph (p)(2) of this section for a nonthoroughly 
mixed open biological system would expose a worker to dangerous, 
hazardous, or otherwise unsafe conditions, all of the following 
procedures shall be performed:
    (i) Calculate the mass removal or percent reduction value using the 
procedures specified in Sec.  63.457(l) except the value for 
fbio (MeOH) shall be determined using the procedures in 
appendix E to this part.
    (ii) Repeat the procedures in paragraph (p)(3)(i) of this section 
for every day until the unsafe conditions have passed.

[[Page 557]]

    (iii) A parameter excursion is a violation of the standard if the 
percent reduction or mass removal determined in paragraph (p)(3)(i) of 
this section is less than the percent reduction or mass removal 
standards specified in Sec.  63.446(e)(2), as appropriate, unless the 
value of fbio (MeOH) determined using the procedures in 
appendix E of this section, as specified in paragraph (p)(3)(i), is 
within the range of fbio (MeOH) values established during the 
initial and subsequent performance tests previously approved by the 
Administrator.
    (iv) The determination that there is a condition that exposes a 
worker to dangerous, hazardous, or otherwise unsafe conditions shall be 
documented according to requirements in Sec.  63.454(e) and reporting in 
Sec.  63.455(f).
    (v) The requirements of paragraphs (p)(1) and (2) of this section 
shall be performed and met as soon as practical but no later than 24 
hours after the conditions have passed that exposed a worker to 
dangerous, hazardous, or otherwise unsafe conditions.
    (q) At all times, the owner or operator must operate and maintain 
any affected source, including associated air pollution control 
equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with safety 
and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions. 
Determination of whether such operation and maintenance procedures are 
being used will be based on information available to the Administrator 
which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of 
operation and maintenance procedures, review of operation and 
maintenance records, and inspection of the source.

[[Page 560]]

index.html). Only data collected using test methods on the ERT Web site 
are subject to this requirement for submitting reports electronically to 
WebFIRE. Owners or operators who claim that some of the information 
being submitted for performance tests is confidential business 
information (CBI) must submit a complete ERT file including information 
claimed to be CBI on a compact disk, flash drive or other commonly used 
electronic storage media to the EPA. The electronic media must be 
clearly marked as CBI and mailed to U.S. EPA/OAPQS/CORE CBI Office, 
Attention: WebFIRE Administrator, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, 
NC 27703. The same ERT file with the CBI omitted must be submitted to 
the EPA via CDX as described earlier in this paragraph. At the 
discretion of the delegated authority, the owner or operator must also 
submit these reports, including the CBI, to the delegated authority in 
the format specified by the delegated authority. For any performance 
test conducted using test methods that are not listed on the ERT Web 
site, the owner or operator must submit the results of the performance 
test to the Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  
63.13.
    (3) Within 60 days after the date of completing each CEMS 
performance evaluation test as defined in Sec.  63.2, the owner or 
operator must submit relative accuracy test audit (RATA) data to the 
EPA's CDX by using CEDRI in accordance with paragraph (2) of this 
section. Only RATA pollutants that can be documented with the ERT (as 
listed on the ERT Web site) are subject to this requirement. For any 
performance evaluations with no corresponding RATA pollutants listed on 
the ERT Web site, the owner or operator must submit the results of the 
performance evaluation to the Administrator at the appropriate address 
listed in Sec.  63.13.
    (4) All reports required by this subpart not subject to the 
requirements in paragraphs (h)(2) and (3) of this section must be sent 
to the Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  63.13. 
The Administrator or the delegated authority may request a report in any 
form suitable for the specific case (e.g., by commonly used electronic 
media such as Excel spreadsheet, on CD or hard copy). The Administrator 
retains the right to require submittal of reports subject to paragraphs 
(h)(2) and (3) of this section in paper format

Sec.  63.456  Affirmative defense for violation of emission standards
during malfunction.

    In response to an action to enforce the standards set forth in 
Sec. Sec.  63.443(c) and (d), 63.444(b) and (c), 63.445(b) and (c), 
63.446(c), (d), and (e), 63.447(b) or Sec.  63.450(d), the owner or 
operator may assert an affirmative defense to a claim for civil 
penalties for violations of such standards that are caused by 
malfunction, as defined at 40 CFR 63.2. Appropriate penalties may be 
assessed, however, if the owner or operator fails to meet the burden of 
proving all of the requirements in the affirmative defense. The 
affirmative defense shall not be available for claims for injunctive 
relief.
    (a) To establish the affirmative defense in any action to enforce 
such a standard, the owner or operator must timely meet the reporting 
requirements in paragraph (b) of this section, and must prove by a 
preponderance of evidence that:
    (1) The violation:
    (i) Was caused by a sudden, infrequent, and unavoidable failure of 
air pollution control equipment, process equipment, or a process to 
operate in a normal or usual manner, and
    (ii) Could not have been prevented through careful planning, proper 
design or better operation and maintenance practices; and
    (iii) Did not stem from any activity or event that could have been 
foreseen and avoided, or planned for; and
    (iv) Was not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate 
design, operation, or maintenance; and
    (2) Repairs were made as expeditiously as possible when a violation 
occurred. Off-shift and overtime labor were used, to the extent 
practicable to make these repairs; and

[[Page 561]]

    (3) The frequency, amount and duration of the violation (including 
any bypass) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable; and
    (4) If the violation resulted from a bypass of control equipment or 
a process, then the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, 
personal injury, or severe property damage; and
    (5) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the 
violation on ambient air quality, the environment and human health; and
    (6) All emissions monitoring and control systems were kept in 
operation if at all possible, consistent with safety and good air 
pollution control practices; and
    (7) All of the actions in response to the violation were documented 
by properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs; and
    (8) At all times, the affected source was operated in a manner 
consistent with good practices for minimizing emissions; and
    (9) A written root cause analysis has been prepared, the purpose of 
which is to determine, correct, and eliminate the primary causes of the 
malfunction and the violation resulting from the malfunction event at 
issue. The analysis shall also specify, using best monitoring methods 
and engineering judgment, the amount of any emissions that were the 
result of the malfunction.
    (b) Report. The owner or operator seeking to assert an affirmative 
defense shall submit a written report to the Administrator with all 
necessary supporting documentation, that it has met the requirements set 
forth in paragraph (a) of this section. This affirmative defense report 
shall be included in the first periodic compliance, deviation report or 
excess emission report otherwise required after the initial occurrence 
of the violation of the relevant standard (which may be the end of any 
applicable averaging period). If such compliance, deviation report or 
excess emission report is due less than 45 days after the initial 
occurrence of the violation, the affirmative defense report may be 
included in the second compliance, deviation report or excess emission 
report due after the initial occurrence of the violation of the relevant 
standard.

[77 FR 55712, Sept. 11, 2012]



Sec.  63.457  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Performance tests. Initial and repeat performance tests are 
required for the emissions sources specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and 
(2) of this section, except for emission sources controlled by a 
combustion device that is designed and operated as specified in Sec.  
63.443(d)(3) or (4).
    (1) Conduct an initial performance test for all emission sources 
subject to the limitations in Sec. Sec.  63.443, 63.444, 63.445, 63.446, 
and 63.447.
    (2) Conduct repeat performance tests at five-year intervals for all 
emission sources subject to the limitations in Sec. Sec.  63.443, 
63.444, and 63.445. The first of the 5-year repeat tests must be 
conducted by September 7, 2015, and thereafter within 60 months from the 
date of the previous performance test. Five-year repeat testing is not 
required for the following:
    (i) Knotter or screen systems with HAP emission rates below the 
criteria specified in Sec.  63.443(a)(1)(ii).
    (ii) Decker systems using fresh water or paper machine white water, 
or decker systems using process water with a total HAP concentration 
less than 400 parts per million by weight as specified in Sec.  
63.443(a)(1)(iv).
    (b) Vent sampling port locations and gas stream properties. For 
purposes of selecting vent sampling port locations and determining vent 
gas stream properties, required in Sec. Sec.  63.443, 63.444, 63.445, 
and 63.447, each owner or operator shall comply with the applicable 
procedures in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(6) of this section.
    (1) Method 1 or 1A of part 60, appendix A-1, as appropriate, shall 
be used for selection of the sampling site as follows:
    (i) To sample for vent gas concentrations and volumetric flow rates, 
the sampling site shall be located prior to dilution of the vent gas 
stream and prior to release to the atmosphere;
    (ii) For determining compliance with percent reduction requirements, 
sampling sites shall be located prior to the inlet of the control device 
and at the

[[Page 562]]

outlet of the control device; measurements shall be performed 
simultaneously at the two sampling sites; and
    (iii) For determining compliance with concentration limits or mass 
emission rate limits, the sampling site shall be located at the outlet 
of the control device.
    (2) No traverse site selection method is needed for vents smaller 
than 0.10 meter (4.0 inches) in diameter.
    (3) The vent gas volumetric flow rate shall be determined using 
Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D of part 60, appendix A-1, as appropriate.
    (4) The moisture content of the vent gas shall be measured using 
Method 4 of part 60, appendix A-3.
    (5) To determine vent gas concentrations, the owner or operator 
shall conduct a minimum of three test runs that are representative of 
normal conditions and average the resulting pollutant concentrations 
using the following procedures.
    (i) Method 308 in Appendix A of this part; Method 320 in Appendix A 
of this part; Method 18 in appendix A-6 of part 60; ASTM D6420-99 
(Reapproved 2004) (incorporated by reference in Sec.  63.14(b)(28) of 
subpart A of this part); or ASTM D6348-03 (incorporated by reference in 
Sec.  63.14(b)(54) of subpart A of this part) shall be used to determine 
the methanol concentration. If ASTM D6348-03 is used, the conditions 
specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(A) though (b)(5)(i)(B) must be met.
    (A) The test plan preparation and implementation in the Annexes to 
ASTM D6348-03, sections A1 through A8 are required.
    (B) In ASTM D6348-03 Annex A5 (Analyte Spiking Technique), the 
percent (%) R must be determined for each target analyte (Equation A5.5 
of ASTM D6348-03). In order for the test data to be acceptable for a 
compound, %R must be between 70 and 130 percent. If the %R value does 
not meet this criterion for a target compound, the test data is not 
acceptable for that compound and the test must be repeated for that 
analyte following adjustment of the sampling or analytical procedure 
before the retest. The %R value for each compound must be reported in 
the test report, and all field measurements must be corrected with the 
calculated %R value for that compound using the following equation: 
Reported Result = Measured Concentration in the Stack x 100)/%R.
    (ii) Except for the modifications specified in paragraphs 
(b)(5)(ii)(A) through (b)(5)(ii)(K) of this section, Method 26A of part 
60, appendix A-8 shall be used to determine chlorine concentration in 
the vent stream.
    (A) Probe/sampling line. A separate probe is not required. The 
sampling line shall be an appropriate length of 0.64 cm (0.25 in) OD 
Teflon [supreg] tubing. The sample inlet end of the sampling line shall 
be inserted into the stack in such a way as to not entrain liquid 
condensation from the vent gases. The other end shall be connected to 
the impingers. The length of the tubing may vary from one sampling site 
to another, but shall be as short as possible in each situation. If 
sampling is conducted in sunlight, opaque tubing shall be used. 
Alternatively, if transparent tubing is used, it shall be covered with 
opaque tape.
    (B) Impinger train. Three 30 milliliter (ml) capacity midget 
impingers shall be connected in series to the sampling line. The 
impingers shall have regular tapered stems. Silica gel shall be placed 
in the third impinger as a desiccant. All impinger train connectors 
shall be glass and/or Teflon [supreg].
    (C) Critical orifice. The critical orifice shall have a flow rate of 
200 to 250 ml/min and shall be followed by a vacuum pump capable of 
providing a vacuum of 640 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). A 45 
millimeter diameter in-line Teflon 0.8 micrometer filter shall follow

    (3) Magnetic stirring apparatus and stir bar;
    (4) Calibrated pH Meter;
    (5) 150-250 ml beaker or flask; and

(b)(5)(ii)(E)(7) of this section shall be used to prepare the reagents.

[[Page 563]]

    (1) To prepare the 1 molarity (M) potassium dihydrogen phosphate 
solution, dissolve 13.61 grams (g) of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in 
water and dilute to 100 ml.
    (2) To prepare the 1 M sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH), dissolve 
4.0 g of sodium hydroxide in water and dilute to 100 ml.
    (3) To prepare the buffered 2 percent potassium iodide solution, 
dissolve 20 g of potassium iodide in 900 ml water. Add 50 ml of the 1 M 
potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and 30 ml of the 1 M sodium 
hydroxide solution. While stirring solution, measure the pH of solution 
electrometrically and add the 1 M sodium hydroxide solution to bring pH 
to between 6.95 and 7.05.
    (4) To prepare the 0.1 normality (N) sodium thiosulfate solution, 
dissolve 25 g of sodium thiosulfate, pentahydrate, in 800 ml of freshly 
boiled and cooled distilled water in a 1-liter volumetric flask. Dilute 
to volume. To prepare the 0.01 N sodium thiosulfate solution, add 10.0 
ml standardized 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate solution to a 100 ml volumetric 
flask, and dilute to volume with water.
    (5) To standardize the 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate solution, dissolve 
3.249 g of anhydrous potassium bi-iodate, primary standard quality, or 
3.567 g potassium iodate dried at 103 =/-2 degrees Centigrade for 1 
hour, in distilled water and dilute to 1000 ml to yield a 0.1000 N 
solution. Store in a glass-stoppered bottle. To 80 ml distilled water, 
add, with constant stirring, 1 ml concentrated sulfuric acid, 10.00 ml 
0.1000 N anhydrous potassium bi-iodate, and 1 g potassium iodide. 
Titrate immediately with 0.1 n sodium thiosulfate titrant until the 
yellow color of the liberated iodine is almost discharged. Add 1 ml 
starch indicator solution and continue titrating until the blue color 
disappears. The normality of the sodium thiosulfate solution is 
inversely proportional to the ml of sodium thiosulfate solution 
consumed:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15AP98.000

    (6) To prepare the starch indicator solution, add a small amount of 
cold water to 5 g starch and grind in a mortar to obtain a thin paste. 
Pour paste into 1 L of boiling distilled water, stir, and let settle 
overnight. Use clear supernate for starch indicator solution.
    (7) To prepare the 10 percent sulfuric acid solution, add 10 ml of 
concentrated sulfuric acid to 80 ml water in a 100 ml volumetric flask. 
Dilute to volume.
    (F) The procedures specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(ii)(F)(1) through 
(b)(5)(ii)(F)(5) of this section shall be used to perform the sampling.
    (1) Preparation of collection train. Measure 20 ml buffered 
potassium iodide solution into each of the first two impingers and 
connect probe, impingers, filter, critical orifice, and pump. The 
sampling line and the impingers shall be shielded from sunlight.
    (2) Leak and flow check procedure. Plug sampling line inlet tip and 
turn on pump. If a flow of bubbles is visible in either of the liquid 
impingers, tighten fittings and adjust connections and impingers. A 
leakage rate not in excess of 2 percent of the sampling rate is 
acceptable. Carefully remove the plug from the end of the probe. Check 
the flow rate at the probe inlet with a bubble tube flow meter. The flow 
should be comparable or slightly less than the flow rate of the critical 
orifice with the impingers off-line. Record the flow and turn off the 
pump.
    (3) Sample collection. Insert the sampling line into the stack and 
secure it with the tip slightly lower than the port height. Start the 
pump, recording the time. End the sampling after 60 minutes, or after 
yellow color is observed in the second in-line impinger. Record time and 
remove the tubing from the vent. Recheck flow rate at sampling line 
inlet and turn off pump.

[[Page 564]]

If the flow rate has changed significantly, redo sampling with fresh 
capture solution. A slight variation (less than 5 percent) in flow may 
be averaged. With the inlet end of the line elevated above the 
impingers, add about 5 ml water into the inlet tip to rinse the line 
into the first impinger.
    (4) Sample analysis. Fill the burette with 0.01 N sodium thiosulfate 
solution to the zero mark. Combine the contents of the impingers in the 
beaker or flask. Stir the solution and titrate with thiosulfate until 
the solution is colorless. Record the volume of the first endpoint (TN, 
ml). Add 5 ml of the 10 percent sulfuric acid solution, and continue the 
titration until the contents of the flask are again colorless. Record 
the total volume of titrant required to go through the first and to the 
second endpoint (TA, ml). If the volume of neutral titer is less than 
0.5 ml, repeat the testing for a longer period of time. It is important 
that sufficient lighting be present to clearly see the endpoints, which 
are determined when the solution turns from pale yellow to colorless. A 
lighted stirring plate and a white background are useful for this 
purpose.
    (5) Interferences. Known interfering agents of this method are 
sulfur dioxide and hydrogen peroxide. Sulfur dioxide, which is used to 
reduce oxidant residuals in some bleaching systems, reduces formed 
iodine to iodide in the capture solution. It is therefore a negative 
interference for chlorine, and in some cases could result in erroneous 
negative chlorine concentrations. Any agent capable of reducing iodine 
to iodide could interfere in this manner. A chromium trioxide 
impregnated filter will capture sulfur dioxide and pass chlorine and 
chlorine dioxide. Hydrogen peroxide, which is commonly used as a 
bleaching agent in modern bleaching systems, reacts with iodide to form 
iodine and thus can cause a positive interference in the chlorine 
measurement. Due to the chemistry involved, the precision of the 
chlorine analysis will decrease as the ratio of chlorine dioxide to 
chlorine increases. Slightly negative calculated concentrations of 
chlorine may occur when sampling a vent gas with high concentrations of 
chlorine dioxide and very low concentrations of chlorine.
    (G) The following calculation shall be performed to determine the 
corrected sampling flow rate:

be 1 hour in which either an integrated sample or four grab samples 
shall be taken. If grab sampling is used, then the samples shall be 
taken at approximately equal intervals in time, such as 15 minute 
intervals during the test run.
    (c) Liquid sampling locations and properties. For purposes of 
selecting liquid sampling locations and for determining properties of 
liquid streams such as wastewaters, process waters, and condensates 
required in Sec. Sec.  63.444, 63.446, and 63.447, the owner or operator 
shall comply with the following procedures:
    (1) Samples shall be collected using the sampling procedures of the 
test method listed in paragraph (c)(3) of this section selected to 
determine liquid stream HAP concentrations;
    (i) Where feasible, samples shall be taken from an enclosed pipe 
prior to the liquid stream being exposed to the atmosphere; and
    (ii) When sampling from an enclosed pipe is not feasible, samples 
shall be collected in a manner to minimize exposure of the sample to the 
atmosphere and loss of HAP compounds prior to sampling.
    (2) The volumetric flow rate of the entering and exiting liquid 
streams shall be determined using the inlet and outlet flow meters or 
other methods demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction. The 
volumetric flow rate measurements to determine actual mass removal shall

    (3) The owner or operator shall conduct a minimum of three test runs 
that are representative of normal conditions and average the resulting 
pollutant concentrations. The minimum sampling time for each test run 
shall be 1 hour and the grab or composite samples shall be taken at

The owner or operator shall use one of the following procedures to 
determine total HAP or methanol concentration:
    (i) Method 305 in Appendix A of this part, adjusted using the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15AP98.006

          measured by Method 305 to actual liquid concentration; the fm 
          for methanol is 0.85. Additional pollutant fm values can be 
          found in table 34, subpart G of this part.
n = Number of individual pollutants, i, summed to calculate total HAP.

    (ii) For determining methanol concentrations, NCASI Method DI/MEOH-
94.03. This test method is incorporated by reference in Sec.  
63.14(f)(1) of subpart A of this part.
    (iii) Any other method that measures total HAP concentration that 
has been demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction.
    (4) To determine soluble BOD5 in the effluent stream from 
an open biological treatment unit used to comply with Sec. Sec.  
63.446(e)(2) and 63.453(j), the owner or operator shall use Method 405.1 
of part 136 of this chapter with the following modifications:
    (i) Filter the sample through the filter paper, into an Erlenmeyer 
flask by applying a vacuum to the flask sidearm. Minimize the time for 
which vacuum is applied to prevent stripping of volatile organics from 
the sample. Replace filter paper as often as needed in order to maintain 
filter times of less

[[Page 566]]

than approximately 30 seconds per filter paper. No rinsing of sample 
container or filter bowl into the Erlenmeyer flask is allowed.
    (ii) Perform Method 405.1 on the filtrate obtained in paragraph 
(c)(4) of this section. Dilution water shall be seeded with 1 milliliter 
of final effluent per liter of dilution water. Dilution ratios may 
require adjustment to reflect the lower oxygen demand of the filtered 
sample in comparison to the total BOD5. Three BOD bottles and 
different dilutions shall be used for each sample.
    (5) If the test method used to determine HAP concentration indicates 
that a specific HAP is not detectable, the value determined as the 
minimum measurement level (MML) of the selected test method for the 
specific HAP shall be used in the compliance demonstration calculations. 
To determine the MML for a specific HAP using one of the test methods 
specified in paragraph (c)(3) of this section, one of the procedures 
specified in paragraphs (c)(5)(i) and (ii) of this section shall be 
performed. The MML for a particular HAP must be determined only if the 
HAP is not detected in the normal working range of the method.
    (i) To determine the MML for a specific HAP, the following 
procedures shall be performed each time the method is set up. Set up is 
defined as the first time the analytical apparatus is placed in 
operation, after any shut down of 6 months or more, or any time a major 
component of the analytical apparatus is replaced.
    (A) Select a concentration value for the specific HAP in question to 
represent the MML. The value of the MML selected shall not be below the 
calibration standard of the selected test method.
    (B) Measure the concentration of the specific HAP in a minimum of 
three replicate samples using the selected test method. All replicate 
samples shall be run through the entire analytical procedure. The 
samples must contain the specific HAP at the selected MML concentration 
and should be representative of the liquid streams to be analyzed in the 
compliance demonstration. Spiking of the liquid samples with a known 
concentration of the target HAP may be necessary to ensure that the HAP 
concentration in the three replicate samples is at the selected MML. The 
concentration of the HAP in the spiked sample must be within 50 percent 
of the proposed MML for the demonstration to be valid. As an alternative 
to spiking, a field sample above the MML may be diluted to produce a HAP 
concentration at the MML. To be a valid demonstration, the diluted 
sample must have a HAP concentration within 20 percent of the proposed 
MML, and the field sample must not be diluted by more than a factor of 
five.
    (C) Calculate the relative standard deviation (RSD) and the upper 
confidence limit at the 95 percent confidence level using the measured 
HAP concentrations determined in paragraph (c)(5)(i)(B) of this section. 
If the upper confidence limit of the RSD is less than 30 percent, then 
the selected MML is acceptable. If the upper confidence limit of the RSD 
is greater than or equal to 30 percent, then the selected MML is too 
low, and the procedures specified in paragraphs (c)(5)(i)(A) through (C) 
of this section must be repeated.
    (ii) Provide for the Administrator's approval the selected value of 
the MML for a specific HAP and the rationale for selecting the MML 
including all data and calculations used to determine the MML. The 
approved MML must be used in all applicable compliance demonstration 
calculations.
    (6) When using the MML determined using the procedures in paragraph 
(c)(5)(ii) of this section or when using the MML determined using the 
procedures in paragraph (c)(5)(i), except during set up, the analytical 
laboratory conducting the analysis must perform and meet the following 
quality assurance procedures each time a set of samples is analyzed to 
determine compliance.
    (i) Using the selected test method, analyze in triplicate the 
concentration of the specific HAP in a representative sample. The sample 
must contain the specific HAP at a concentration that is within a factor 
of two of the MML. If there are no samples in the set being analyzed 
that contain the specific HAP at an appropriate concentration, then a

[[Page 567]]

sample below the MML may be spiked to produce the appropriate 
concentration, or a sample at a higher level may be diluted. After 
spiking, the sample must contain the specific HAP within 50 percent of 
the MML. If dilution is used instead, the diluted sample must contain 
the specific HAP within 20 percent of the MML and must not be diluted by 
more than a factor of five.
    (ii) Calculate the RSD using the measured HAP concentrations 
determined in paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this section. If the RSD is less 
than 20 percent, then the laboratory is performing acceptably.
    (d) Detectable leak procedures. To measure detectable leaks for 
closed-vent systems as specified in Sec.  63.450 or for pulping process 
wastewater collection systems as specified in Sec.  63.446(d)(2)(i), the 
owner or operator shall comply with the following:
    (1) Method 21, of part 60, appendix A-7; and
    (2) The instrument specified in Method 21 shall be calibrated before 
use according to the procedures specified in Method 21 on each day that 
leak checks are performed. The following calibration gases shall be 
used:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 parts per million by volume of 
hydrocarbon in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of 
approximately, but less than, 10,000 parts per million by volume methane 
or n-hexane.
    (e) Negative pressure procedures. To demonstrate negative pressure 
at process equipment enclosure openings as specified in Sec.  63.450(b), 
the owner or operator shall use one of the following procedures:
    (1) An anemometer to demonstrate flow into the enclosure opening;
    (2) Measure the static pressure across the opening;
    (3) Smoke tubes to demonstrate flow into the enclosure opening; or
    (4) Any other industrial ventilation test method demonstrated to the 
Administrator's satisfaction.

the requirements in Sec. Sec.  63.443, 63.444, and 63.447, the owner or 
operator shall measure the total HAP concentration as one of the

acetaldehyde, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, and propionaldehyde and 
follow the procedures in Sec.  63.457(l)(1) or (2).
    (h) Bleaching HAP concentration measurement. For purposes of 
complying with the bleaching system requirements in Sec.  63.445, the 
owner or operator shall measure the total HAP concentration as the sum 
of all individual chlorinated HAPs or as chlorine.

machine freeboard located above the solvent/air interface. The 
centerline of the air blanket is equidistant between the sides of the 
machine.
    Air knife system means a device that directs forced air at high 
pressure, high volume, or a combination of high pressure and high 
volume, through a small opening directly at the surface of a continuous 
web part. The purpose of this system is to remove the solvent film from 
the surfaces of the continuous web part.
    Automated parts handling system means a mechanical device that 
carries all parts and parts baskets at a controlled speed from the 
initial loading of soiled or wet parts through the removal of the 
cleaned or dried parts. Automated parts handling systems include, but 
are not limited to, hoists and conveyors.
    Batch cleaning machine means a solvent cleaning machine in which 
individual parts or a set of parts move through the entire cleaning 
cycle before new parts are introduced into the solvent cleaning machine. 
An open-top vapor cleaning machine is a type of batch cleaning machine. 
A solvent cleaning machine, such as a ferris wheel or a cross-rod 
degreaser, that clean multiple batch loads simultaneously and are 
manually loaded are batch cleaning machines.
    Carbon adsorber means a bed of activated carbon into which an air-
solvent gas-vapor stream is routed and which adsorbs the solvent on the 
carbon.
    Clean liquid solvent means fresh unused solvent, recycled solvent, 
or used solvent that has been cleaned of soils (e.g., skimmed of oils or 
sludge and strained of metal chips).
    Cleaning capacity means, for a cleaning machine without a solvent/
air interface, the maximum volume of parts that can be cleaned at one 
time. In most cases, the cleaning capacity is equal to the volume 
(length times width times height) of the cleaning chamber.
    Cold cleaning machine means any device or piece of equipment that 
contains and/or uses liquid solvent, into which parts are placed to 
remove soils from the surfaces of the parts or to dry the parts. 
Cleaning machines that contain and use heated, nonboiling solvent to 
clean the parts are classified as cold cleaning machines.
    Combined squeegee and air-knife system means a system consisting of 
a combination of a squeegee system and an air-knife system within a 
single enclosure.
    Consumption means the amount of halogenated hazardous air pollutant 
solvent added to the solvent cleaning machine.
    Continuous web cleaning machine means a solvent cleaning machine in 
which parts such as film, coils, wire, and metal strips are cleaned at 
speeds typically in excess of 11 feet per minute. Parts are generally 
uncoiled, cleaned such that the same part is simultaneously entering and 
exiting the solvent application area of the solvent cleaning machine, 
and then recoiled or cut. For the purposes of this subpart, all 
continuous web cleaning machines are considered to be a subset of in-
line solvent cleaning machines.
    Cover means a lid, top, or portal cover that shields the solvent 
cleaning machine openings from air disturbances when in place and is 
designed to be easily opened and closed without disturbing the vapor 
zone. Air disturbances include, but are not limited to, lip exhausts, 
ventilation fans, and general room drafts. Types of covers include, but 
are not limited to, sliding, biparting, and rolltop covers.
    Cross-rod solvent cleaning machine means a batch solvent cleaning

single portal.
    Downtime mode means the time period when a solvent cleaning machine 
is not cleaning parts and the sump heating coils, if present, are turned 
off.
    Dwell means the technique of holding parts within the freeboard area 
but above the vapor zone of the solvent cleaning machine. Dwell occurs 
after cleaning to allow solvent to drain from the parts or parts baskets 
back into the solvent cleaning machine.

[[Page 581]]

    Dwell time means the required minimum length of time that a part 
must dwell, as determined by Sec.  63.465(d).
    Emissions means halogenated hazardous air pollutant solvent consumed 
(i.e., halogenated hazardous air pollutant solvent added to the machine) 
minus the liquid halogenated hazardous air pollutant solvent removed 
from the machine and the halogenated hazardous air pollutant solvent 
removed from the machine in the solid waste.
    Existing means any solvent cleaning machine the construction or 
reconstruction of which was commenced on or before November 29, 1993. A 
machine, the construction or reconstruction of which was commenced on or 
before November 29, 1993, but that did not meet the definition of a 
solvent cleaning machine on December 2, 1994, because it did not use 
halogenated HAP solvent liquid or vapor covered under this subpart to 
remove soils, becomes an existing source when it commences to use such 
liquid or vapor. A solvent cleaning machine moved within a contiguous 
facility or to another facility under the same ownership, constitutes an 
existing machine.
    Freeboard area means; for a batch cleaning machine, the area within 
the solvent cleaning machine that extends from the solvent/air interface 
to the top of the solvent cleaning machine; for an in-line cleaning 
machine, it is the area within the solvent cleaning machine that extends 
from the solvent/air interface to the bottom of the entrance or exit 
opening, whichever is lower.
    Freeboard height means; for a batch cleaning machine, the distance 
from the solvent/air interface, as measured during the idling mode, to 
the top of the cleaning machine; for an in-line cleaning machine, it is 
the distance from the solvent/air interface to the bottom of the 
entrance or exit opening, whichever is lower, as measured during the 
idling mode.
    Freeboard ratio means the ratio of the solvent cleaning machine 
freeboard height to the smaller interior dimension (length, width, or 
diameter) of the solvent cleaning machine.
    Freeboard refrigeration device (also called a chiller) means a set 
of secondary coils mounted in the freeboard area that carries a 
refrigerant or other chilled substance to provide a chilled air blanket 
above the solvent vapor. A primary condenser capable of meeting the 
requirements of Sec.  63.463(e)(2)(i) is defined as both a freeboard 
refrigeration device and a primary condenser for the purposes of these 
standards.
    Halogenated hazardous air pollutant solvent or halogenated HAP 
solvent means methylene chloride (CAS No. 75-09-2), perchloroethylene 
(CAS No. 127-18-4), trichloroethylene (CAS No. 79-01-6), 1,1,1-
trichloroethane (CAS No. 71-55-6), carbon tetrachloride (CAS No. 56-23-
5), and chloroform (CAS No. 67-66-3).
    Hoist means a mechanical device that carries the parts basket and 
the parts to be cleaned from the loading area into the solvent cleaning 
machine and to the unloading area at a controlled speed. A hoist may be 
operated by controls or may be programmed to cycle parts through the 
cleaning cycle automatically.
    Idling mode means the time period when a solvent cleaning machine is 
not actively cleaning parts and the sump heating coils, if present, are 
turned on.
    Idling-mode cover means any cover or solvent cleaning machine design 
that allows the cover to shield the cleaning machine openings during the 
idling mode. A cover that meets this definition can also be used as a 
working-mode cover if that definition is also met.
    Immersion cold cleaning machine means a cold cleaning machine in 
which the parts are immersed in the solvent when being cleaned. A remote 
reservoir cold cleaning machine that is also an immersion cold cleaning 
machine is considered an immersion cold cleaning machine for purposes of 
this subpart.
    In-line cleaning machine or continuous cleaning machine means a 
solvent cleaning machine that uses an automated parts handling system, 
typically a conveyor, to automatically provide a continuous supply of 
parts to be cleaned. These units are fully enclosed except for the 
conveyor inlet and exit portals. In-line cleaning machines can be either 
cold or vapor cleaning machines.
    Leak-proof coupling means a threaded or other type of coupling that 
prevents

[[Page 582]]

solvents from leaking while filling or draining solvent to and from the 
solvent cleaning machine.
    Lip exhaust means a device installed at the top of the opening of a 
solvent cleaning machine that draws in air and solvent vapor from the 
freeboard area and ducts the air and vapor away from the solvent 
cleaning area.
    Monthly reporting period means any calendar month in which the owner 
or operator of a solvent cleaning machine is required to calculate and 
report the solvent emissions from each solvent cleaning machine.
    New means any solvent cleaning machine the construction or 
reconstruction of which is commenced after November 29, 1993.
    Open-top vapor cleaning machine means a batch solvent cleaning 
machine that has its upper surface open to the air and boils solvent to 
create solvent vapor used to clean and/or dry parts.
    Part means any object that is cleaned in a solvent cleaning machine. 
Parts include, but are not limited to, discrete parts, assemblies, sets 
of parts, and parts cleaned in a continuous web cleaning machine (i.e., 
continuous sheets of metal, film).
    Primary condenser means a series of circumferential cooling coils on 
a vapor cleaning machine through which a chilled substance is circulated 
or recirculated to provide continuous condensation of rising solvent 
vapors and, thereby, create a concentrated solvent vapor zone.
    Reduced room draft means decreasing the flow or movement of air 
across the top of the freeboard area of the solvent cleaning machine to 
meet the specifications of Sec.  63.463(e)(2)(ii). Methods of achieving 
a reduced room draft include, but are not limited to, redirecting fans 
and/or air vents to not blow across the cleaning machine, moving the 
cleaning machine to a corner where there is less room draft, and 
constructing a partial or complete enclosure around the cleaning 
machine.
    Remote reservoir cold cleaning machine means any device in which 
liquid solvent is pumped to a sink-like work area that drains solvent 
back into an enclosed container while parts are being cleaned, allowing 
no solvent to pool in the work area.
    Remote reservoir continuous web cleaning machine means a continuous 
web cleaning machine in which there is no exposed solvent sump. In these 
units, the solvent is pumped from an enclosed chamber and is typically 
applied to the continuous web part through a nozzle or series of 
nozzles. The solvent then drains from the part and is collected and 
recycled through the machine, allowing no solvent to pool in the work or 
cleaning area.
    Soils means contaminants that are removed from the parts being 
cleaned. Soils include, but are not limited to, grease, oils, waxes, 
metal chips, carbon deposits, fluxes, and tars.
    Solvent/air interface means, for a vapor cleaning machine, the 
location of contact between the concentrated solvent vapor layer and the 
air. This location of contact is defined as the mid-line height of the 
primary condenser coils. For a cold cleaning machine, it is the location 
of contact between the liquid solvent and the air.
    Solvent/air interface area means; for a vapor cleaning machine, the 
surface area of the solvent vapor zone that is exposed to the air; for 
an in-line cleaning machine, it is the total surface area of all the 
sumps; for a cold cleaning machine, it is the surface area of the liquid 
solvent that is exposed to the air.
    Solvent cleaning machine means any device or piece of equipment that 
uses halogenated HAP solvent liquid or vapor to remove soils from the 
surfaces of materials. Types of solvent cleaning machines include, but 
are not limited to, batch vapor, in-line vapor, in-line cold, and batch 
cold solvent cleaning machines. Buckets, pails, and beakers with 
capacities of 7.6 liters (2 gallons) or less are not considered solvent 
cleaning machines.
    Solvent vapor zone means; for a vapor cleaning machine, the area 
that extends from the liquid solvent surface to the level that solvent 
vapor is condensed. This condensation level is defined as the midline 
height of the primary condenser coils.

[[Page 583]]

    Squeegee system means a system that uses a series of pliable 
surfaces to remove the solvent film from the surfaces of the continuous 
web part. These pliable surfaces, called squeegees, are typically made 
of rubber or plastic media, and need to be periodically replaced to 
ensure continued proper function.
    Sump means the part of a solvent cleaning machine where the liquid 
solvent is located.
    Sump heater coils means the heating system on a cleaning machine 
that uses steam, electricity, or hot water to heat or boil the liquid 
solvent.
    Superheated part technology means a system that is part of the 
continuous web process that heats the continuous web part either 
directly or indirectly to a temperature above the boiling point of the 
cleaning solvent. This could include a process step, such as a tooling 
die that heats the part as it is processed, as long as the part remains 
superheated through the cleaning machine.
    Superheated vapor system means a system that heats the solvent 
vapor, either passively or actively, to a temperature above the 
solvent's boiling point. Parts are held in the superheated vapor before 
exiting the machine to evaporate the liquid solvent on them. Hot vapor 
recycle is an example of a superheated vapor system.
    Vapor cleaning machine means a batch or in-line solvent cleaning 
machine that boils liquid solvent generating solvent vapor that is used 
as a part of the cleaning or drying cycle.
    Water layer means a layer of water that floats above the denser 
solvent and provides control of solvent emissions. In many cases, the 
solvent used in batch cold cleaning machines is sold containing the 
appropriate amount of water to create a water cover.
    Working mode means the time period when the solvent cleaning machine 
is actively cleaning parts.
    Working-mode cover means any cover or solvent cleaning machine 
design that allows the cover to shield the cleaning machine openings 
from outside air disturbances while parts are being cleaned in the 
cleaning machine. A cover that is used during the working mode is opened 
only during parts entry and removal. A cover that meets this definition 
can also be used as an idling-mode cover if that definition is also met.

Note: Unlike most of the control techniques available for complying with
  this rule, carbon adsorbers are not considered to be a pollution
  prevention measure. Use of such units may impose additional cost and
  burden for a number of reasons. First, carbon adsorption units are
  generally more expensive than other controls listed in the options.
  Second, these units may present cross-media impacts such as effluent
  discharges if not properly operated and maintained, and spent carbon
  beds have to be disposed of as hazardous waste. When making decisions
  about what controls to install on halogenated solvent cleaning
  machines to meet the requirements of this rule, all of these factors
  should be weighed and pollution prevention measures are encouraged
  wherever possible.

all solvent cleaning operations, plus all HAP emissions from other 
sources within the facility.
    (1) Determine the potential to emit for each individual solvent 
cleaning using equation 6.

PTEi = Hi x Wi x SAIi (6)

using a squeegee system to comply with Sec.  63.463(g)(3) shall 
determine the maximum product throughput using the method in this 
paragraph. The maximum product throughput for each squeegee type used at 
a facility must be determined prior to December 2, 1999, the compliance 
date for these units.
    (1) Conduct daily visual inspections of the continuous web part. 
This monitoring shall be conducted at the point where the continuous web 
part exits the squeegee system. It is not necessary for the squeegees to 
be new at the time monitoring is begun if the following two conditions 
are met:
    (i) The continuous web part leaving the squeegee system has no 
visible solvent film.
    (ii) The amount of continuous web that has been processed through 
the squeegees since the last replacement is known.
    (2) Continue daily monitoring until a visible solvent film is noted 
on the continuous web part.
    (3) Determine the length of continuous web product that has been 
cleaned using the squeegee since it was installed.
    (4) The maximum product throughput for the purposes of this rule is 
equal to the time it takes to clean 95 percent of the length of product 
determined in paragraph (f)(3) of this section. This time period, in 
days, may vary depending on the amount of continuous web product cleaned 
each day.
    (g) Each owner or operator of a continuous web cleaning machine 
demonstrating compliance with the alternative standard of Sec.  
63.464(d) shall, on the first day of every month, ensure that the 
solvent cleaning machine contains only clean liquid solvent. This

indicated during the first month the measurements are made. The solvent 
level with the machine must be returned to the same fill-line each 
month, immediately prior to calculating overall cleaning system control 
efficiency emissions as specified in paragraph (h) in this section. The 
solvent cleaning machine does not need to be emptied and filled with 
fresh unused solvent prior to the calculation.
    (h) Each owner or operator of a continuous web cleaning machines 
complying with Sec.  63.464(d) shall, on the first operating day of the 
month, comply with the following requirements.
    (1) Using the records of all solvent additions, solvent deletions, 
and solvent recovered from the carbon adsorption system for the previous 
monthly reporting period required under Sec.  63.467(e), determine the 
overall cleaning system control efficiency (Eo) using 
Equation 8 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR08SE00.003

Where:

Eo = overall cleaning system control efficiency.
Ri = the total amount of halogenated HAP liquid solvent 
          recovered from the carbon adsorption system and recycled to 
          the solvent cleaning system during the most

[[Page 597]]

          recent monthly reporting period, i, (kilograms of solvent per 
          month).
Sai = the total amount of halogenated HAP liquid solvent 
          added to the solvent cleaning system during the most recent 
          monthly reporting period, i, (kilograms of solvent per month).
SSRi = the total amount of halogenated HAP solvent removed 
          from the solvent cleaning system in solid waste, obtained as 
          described in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, during the most 
          recent monthly reporting period, i, (kilograms of solvent per 
          month).

Sec.  63.480  Applicability and designation of affected sources.

    (a) Definition of affected source. The provisions of this subpart 
apply to each affected source. Affected sources are described in 
paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this section.
    (1) An affected source is either an existing affected source or a 
new affected source. Existing affected source is defined in paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section, and new affected source is defined in paragraph 
(a)(3) of this section.
    (2) An existing affected source is defined as each group of one or 
more elastomer product process units (EPPU) and associated equipment, as 
listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, that is not part of a new 
affected source, as defined in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, that is 
manufacturing the same primary product and that is located at a plant 
site that is a major source.
    (3) A new affected source is defined by the criteria in paragraph 
(a)(3)(i), (a)(3)(ii), or (a)(3)(iii) of this section. The situation 
described in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section is distinct from those 
situations described in paragraphs (a)(3)(ii) and (a)(3)(iii) of this 
section and from any situation described in paragraph (i) of this 
section.
    (i) At a site without HAP emission points before June 12, 1995 
(i.e., a ``greenfield'' site), each group of one or more EPPU and 
associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, 
that is manufacturing the same primary product and that is part of a 
major source on which construction commenced after June 12, 1995;
    (ii) A group of one or more EPPU meeting the criteria in paragraph 
(i)(1)(i) of this section; or
    (iii) A reconstructed affected source meeting the criteria in 
paragraph (i)(2)(i) of this section.
    (4) Emission points and equipment. The affected source also includes 
the emission points and equipment specified in paragraphs (a)(4)(i) 
through (a)(4)(iv) of this section that are associated with each 
applicable group of one or more EPPU constituting an affected source.
    (i) Each waste management unit.
    (ii) Maintenance wastewater.
    (iii) Each heat exchange system.
    (iv) Equipment required by, or utilized as a method of compliance 
with, this subpart which may include control devices and recovery 
devices.
    (5) EPPUs and associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of 
this section, that are located at plant sites that are not major sources 
are neither affected sources nor part of an affected source.
    (b) EPPUs without organic HAP. The owner or operator of an EPPU that 
is part of an affected source, as defined in paragraph (a) of this 
section, but that does not use or manufacture any organic HAP shall 
comply with the requirements of either paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of 
this section. Such an EPPU is not subject to any other provision of this 
subpart and is not required to comply with the provisions of subpart A 
of this part.
    (1) Retain information, data, and analyses used to document the 
basis for the determination that the EPPU does not use or manufacture 
any organic HAP. Types of information that could document this 
determination include, but are not limited to, records of chemicals 
purchased for the process, analyses of process stream composition, 
engineering calculations, or process knowledge.
    (2) When requested by the Administrator, demonstrate that the EPPU 
does not use or manufacture any organic HAP.
    (c) Emission points not subject to the provisions of this subpart. 
The affected source includes the emission points listed in paragraphs 
(c)(1) through (c)(9) of this section, but these emission points are not 
subject to the requirements of this subpart or to the provisions of 
subpart A of this part.
    (1) Equipment that does not contain organic HAP and is located at an 
EPPU that is part of an affected source;
    (2) Stormwater from segregated sewers;
    (3) Water from fire-fighting and deluge systems in segregated 
sewers;
    (4) Spills;

[[Page 611]]

    (5) Water from safety showers;
    (6) Water from testing of deluge systems;
    (7) Water from testing of firefighting systems;
    (8) Vessels and equipment storing and/or handling material that 
contains no organic HAP or organic HAP as impurities only; and
    (9) Equipment that is intended to operate in organic HAP service for 
less than 300 hours during the calendar year.
    (d) Processes exempted from the affected source. Research and 
development facilities are exempted from the affected source.
    (e) Applicability determination of elastomer equipment included in a 
process unit producing a non-elastomer product. If an elastomer product 
that is subject to this subpart is produced within a process unit that 
is subject to subpart JJJ of this part, and at least 50 percent of the 
elastomer is used in the production of the product manufactured by the 
subpart JJJ process unit, the unit operations involved in the production 
of the elastomer are considered part of the process unit that is subject 
to subpart JJJ, and not this subpart.
    (f) Primary product determination and applicability. An owner or 
operator of a process unit that produces or plans to produce an 
elastomer product shall determine if the process unit is subject to this 
subpart in accordance with this paragraph. The owner or operator shall 
initially determine whether a process unit is designated as an EPPU and 
subject to the provisions of this subpart in accordance with either 
paragraph (f)(1) or (f)(2) of this section. The owner or operator of a 
flexible operation unit that was not initially designated as an EPPU, 
but in which an elastomer product is produced, shall conduct an annual 
re-determination of the applicability of this subpart in accordance with 
paragraph (f)(3) of this section. Owners or operators that anticipate 
the production of an elastomer product in a process unit that was not 
initially designated as an EPPU, and in which no elastomer products are 
currently produced, shall determine if the process unit is subject to 
this subpart in accordance with paragraph (f)(4) of this section. 
Paragraphs (f)(3) and (f)(5) through (f)(7) of this section discuss 
compliance only for flexible operation units. Other paragraphs apply to 
all process units, including flexible operation units, unless otherwise 
noted. Paragraph (f)(8) of this section contains reporting requirements 
associated with the applicability determinations. Paragraphs (f)(9) and 
(f)(10) describe criteria for removing the EPPU designation from a 
process unit.
    (1) Initial determination. The owner or operator shall initially 
determine if a process unit is subject to the provisions of this subpart 
based on the primary product of the process unit in accordance with 
paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section. If the process unit 
never uses or manufactures any organic HAP, regardless of the outcome of 
the primary product determination, the only requirements of this subpart 
that might apply to the process unit are contained in paragraph (b) of 
this section. If a flexible operation unit does not use or manufacture 
any organic HAP during the manufacture of one or more products, 
paragraph (f)(5)(i) of this section applies to that flexible operation 
unit.
    (i) If a process unit only manufactures one product, then that 
product shall represent the primary product of the process unit.
    (ii) If a process unit produces more than one intended product at 
the same time, the primary product shall be determined in accordance 
with paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(A) or (B) of this section.
    (A) The product for which the process unit has the greatest annual 
design capacity on a mass basis shall represent the primary product of 
the process unit, or
    (B) If a process unit has the same maximum annual design capacity on 
a mass basis for two or more products, and if one of those products is 
an elastomer product, then the elastomer product shall represent the 
primary product of the process unit.
    (iii) If a process unit is designed and operated as a flexible 
operation unit, the primary product shall be determined as specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1)(iii)(A) or (B) of this section based on the 
anticipated operations for the 5 years following September 5, 1996 at 
existing process units, or for the first

[[Page 612]]

year after the process unit begins production of any product for new 
process units. If operations cannot be anticipated sufficiently to allow 
the determination of the primary product for the specified period, 
applicability shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (f)(2) of 
this section.
    (A) If the flexible operation unit will manufacture one product for 
the greatest operating time over the specified five year period for 
existing process units, or the specified one year period for new process 
units, then that product shall represent the primary product of the 
flexible operation unit.
    (B) If the flexible operation unit will manufacture multiple 
products equally based on operating time, then the product with the 
greatest expected production on a mass basis over the specified five 
year period for existing process units, or the specified one year period 
for new process units shall represent the primary product of the 
flexible operation unit.
    (iv) If, according to paragraph (f)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this 
section, the primary product of a process unit is an elastomer product, 
then that process unit shall be designated as an EPPU. That EPPU and 
associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, is 
either an affected source, or part of an affected source comprised of 
other EPPU and associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of 
this section, subject to this subpart with the same primary product at 
the same plant site that is a major source. If the primary product of a 
process unit is determined to be a product that is not an elastomer 
product, then that process unit is not an EPPU.
    (2) If the primary product cannot be determined for a flexible 
operation unit in accordance with paragraph (f)(1)(iii) of this section, 
applicability shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph.
    (i) If the owner or operator cannot determine the primary product in 
accordance with paragraph (f)(1)(iii) of this section, but can determine 
that an elastomer product is not the primary product, then that flexible 
operation unit is not an EPPU.
    (ii) If the owner or operator cannot determine the primary product 
in accordance with paragraph (f)(1)(iii) of this section, and cannot 
determine that an elastomer product is not the primary product as 
specified in paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section, applicability shall be 
determined in accordance with paragraph (f)(2)(ii)(A) or (f)(2)(ii)(B) 
of this section.
    (A) If the flexible operation unit is an existing process unit, the 
flexible operation unit shall be designated as an EPPU if an elastomer 
product was produced for 5 percent or greater of the total operating 
time of the flexible operation unit since March 9, 1999. That EPPU and 
associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, is 
either an affected source, or part of an affected source comprised of 
other EPPU and associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of 
this section, subject to this subpart with the same primary product at 
the same plant site that is a major source. For a flexible operation 
unit that is designated as an EPPU in accordance with this paragraph, 
the elastomer product produced for the greatest amount of time since 
March 9, 1999 shall be designated as the primary product of the EPPU.
    (B) If the flexible operation unit is a new process unit, the 
flexible operation unit shall be designated as an EPPU if the owner or 
operator anticipates that an elastomer product will be manufactured in 
the flexible operation unit at any time in the first year after the date 
the unit begins production of any product. That EPPU and associated 
equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, is either an 
affected source, or part of an affected source comprised of other EPPU 
and associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, 
subject to this subpart with the same primary product at the same plant 
site that is a major source. For a process unit that is designated as an 
EPPU in accordance with this paragraph, the elastomer product that will 
be produced shall be designated as the primary product of the EPPU. If 
more than one elastomer product will be produced, the owner or operator 
may select which elastomer product is designated as the primary product.

[[Page 613]]

    (3) Annual applicability determination for non-EPPUs that have 
produced an elastomer product. Once per year beginning September 5, 
2001, the owner or operator of each flexible operation unit that is not 
designated as an EPPU, but that has produced an elastomer product at any 
time in the preceding five-year period or since the date that the unit 
began production of any product, whichever is shorter, shall perform the 
evaluation described in paragraphs (f)(3)(i) through (f)(3)(iii) of this 
section. However, an owner or operator that does not intend to produce 
any elastomer product in the future, in accordance with paragraph (f)(9) 
of this section, is not required to perform the evaluation described in 
paragraphs (f)(3)(i) through (f)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (i) For each product produced in the flexible operation unit, the 
owner or operator shall calculate the percentage of total operating time 
over which the product was produced during the preceding five-year 
period.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall identify the primary product as the 
product with the highest percentage of total operating time for the 
preceding five-year period.
    (iii) If the primary product identified in paragraph (f)(3)(ii) is 
an elastomer product, the flexible operation unit shall be designated as 
an EPPU. The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator no later 
than 45 days after determining that the flexible operation unit is an 
EPPU, and shall comply with the requirements of this subpart in 
accordance with paragraph (i)(1) of this section for the flexible 
operation unit.
    (4) Applicability determination for non-EPPUs that have not produced 
an elastomer product. The owner or operator that anticipates the 
production of an elastomer product in a process unit that is not 
designated as an EPPU, and in which no elastomer products have been 
produced in the previous 5 year period or since the date that the 
process unit began production of any product, whichever is shorter, 
shall determine if the process unit is subject to this subpart in 
accordance with paragraphs (f)(4)(i) and (ii) of this section. Also, 
owners or operators who have notified the Administrator that a process 
unit is not an EPPU in accordance with paragraph (f)(9) of this section, 
that now anticipate the production of an elastomer product in the 
process unit, shall determine if the process unit is subject to this 
subpart in accordance with paragraphs (f)(4)(i) and (ii) of this 
section.
    (i) The owner or operator shall use the procedures in paragraph 
(f)(1) or (f)(2) of this section to determine if the process unit is 
designated as an EPPU, with the following exception: for existing 
process units that are determining the primary product in accordance 
with paragraph (f)(1)(iii) of this section, production shall be 
projected for the five years following the date that the owner or 
operator anticipates initiating the production of an elastomer product.
    (ii) If the unit is designated as an EPPU in accordance with 
paragraph (f)(4)(i) of this section, the owner or operator shall comply 
in accordance with paragraph (i)(1) of this section.
    (5) Compliance for flexible operation units. Owners or operators of 
EPPUs that are flexible operation units shall comply with the standards 
specified for the primary product, with the exceptions provided in 
paragraphs (f)(5)(i) and (f)(5)(ii) of this section.
    (i) Whenever a flexible operation unit manufactures a product in 
which no organic HAP is used or manufactured, the owner or operator is 
only required to comply with either paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this 
section to demonstrate compliance for activities associated with the 
manufacture of that product. This subpart does not require compliance 
with the provisions of subpart A of this part for activities associated 
with the manufacture of a product that meets the criteria of paragraph 
(b) of this section.
    (ii) Whenever a flexible operation unit manufactures a product that 
makes it subject to subpart GGG of this part, the owner or operator is 
not required to comply with the provisions of this subpart during the 
production of that product.
    (6) Owners or operators of EPPUs that are flexible operation units 
have the option of determining the group status of each emission point 
associated with the flexible operation unit,

[[Page 614]]

in accordance with either paragraph (f)(6)(i) or (f)(6)(ii) of this 
section, with the exception of batch front-end process vents. For batch 
front-end process vents, the owner or operator shall determine the group 
status in accordance with Sec.  63.488.
    (i) The owner or operator may determine the group status of each 
emission point based on emission point characteristics when the primary 
product is being manufactured.
    (ii) The owner or operator may determine the group status of each 
emission point separately for each product produced by the flexible 
operation unit. For each product, the group status shall be determined 
using the emission point characteristics when that product is being 
manufactured and using the Group 1 criteria specified for the primary 
product. (Note: Under this scenario, it is possible that the group 
status, and therefore the requirement to achieve emission reductions, 
for an emission point may change depending on the product being 
manufactured.)
    (7) Owners or operators determining the group status of emission 
points in flexible operation units based solely on the primary product 
in accordance with paragraph (f)(6)(i) of this section shall establish 
parameter monitoring levels, as required, in accordance with either 
paragraph (f)(7)(i) or (f)(7)(ii) of this section. Owners or operators 
determining the group status of emission points in flexible operation 
units based on each product in accordance with paragraph (f)(6)(ii) of 
this section shall establish parameter monitoring levels, as required, 
in accordance with paragraph (f)(7)(i) of this section.
    (i) Establish separate parameter monitoring levels in accordance 
with Sec.  63.505(a) for each individual product.
    (ii) Establish a single parameter monitoring level (for each 
parameter required to be monitored at each device subject to monitoring 
requirements) in accordance with Sec.  63.505(a) that would apply for 
all products.
    (8) Reporting requirements. When it is determined that a process 
unit is an EPPU and subject to the requirements of this subpart, the 
Notification of Compliance Status required by Sec.  63.506(e)(5) shall 
include the information specified in paragraphs (f)(8)(i) and (f)(8)(ii) 
of this section, as applicable. If it is determined that the process 
unit is not subject to this subpart, the owner or operator shall either 
retain all information, data, and analysis used to document the basis 
for the determination that the primary product is not an elastomer 
product, or, when requested by the Administrator, demonstrate that the 
process unit is not subject to this subpart.
    (i) If the EPPU manufactures only one elastomer product, 
identification of that elastomer product.
    (ii) If the EPPU is designed and operated as a flexible operation 
unit, the information specified in paragraphs (f)(8)(ii)(A) through 
(f)(8)(ii)(D) of this section, as appropriate, shall be submitted.
    (A) If a primary product could be determined, identification of the 
primary product.
    (B) Identification of which compliance option, either paragraph 
(f)(6)(i) or (f)(6)(ii) of this section, has been selected by the owner 
or operator.
    (C) If the option to establish separate parameter monitoring levels 
for each product in paragraph (f)(7)(i) of this section is selected, the 
identification of each product and the corresponding parameter 
monitoring level.
    (D) If the option to establish a single parameter monitor level in 
paragraph (f)(7)(ii) of this section is selected, the parameter 
monitoring level for each parameter.
    (9) EPPUs terminating production of all elastomer products. If an 
EPPU terminates the production of all elastomer products and does not 
anticipate the production of any elastomer products in the future, the 
process unit is no longer an EPPU and is not subject to this subpart 
after notification is made to the Administrator. This notification shall 
be accompanied by a rationale for why it is anticipated that no 
elastomer products will be produced in the process unit in the future.
    (10) Redetermination of applicability to EPPUs that are flexible 
operation units. Whenever changes in production occur that could 
reasonably be expected to change the primary product of an EPPU that is 
operating as a flexible operation unit from an elastomer product to a 
product that would make the

[[Page 615]]

process unit subject to another subpart of this part, the owner or 
operator shall re-evaluate the status of the process unit as an EPPU in 
accordance with paragraphs (f)(10)(i) through (iii) of this section.
    (i) For each product produced in the flexible operation unit, the 
owner or operator shall calculate the percentage of total operating time 
in which the product was produced for the preceding five-year period, or 
since the date that the process unit began production of any product, 
whichever is shorter.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall identify the primary product as the 
product with the highest percentage of total operating time for the 
period.
    (iii) If the conditions in (f)(10)(iii)(A) through (C) of this 
section are met, the flexible operation unit shall no longer be 
designated as an EPPU after the compliance date of the other subpart and 
shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this subpart after the 
date that the process unit is required to be in compliance with the 
provisions of the other subpart of this part to which it is subject. If 
the conditions in paragraphs (f)(10)(iii)(A) through (C) of this section 
are not met, the flexible operation unit shall continue to be considered 
an EPPU and subject to the requirements of this subpart.
    (A) The product identified in (f)(10)(ii) of this section is not an 
elastomer product; and
    (B) The production of the product identified in (f)(10)(ii) of this 
section is subject to another subpart of this part; and
    (C) The owner or operator submits a notification to the 
Administrator of the pending change in applicability.
    (g) Storage vessel ownership determination. The owner or operator 
shall follow the procedures specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through 
(g)(7) of this section to determine to which process unit a storage 
vessel shall be assigned. Paragraph (g)(8) of this section specifies 
when an owner or operator is required to redetermine to which process 
unit a storage vessel is assigned.
    (1) If a storage vessel is already subject to another subpart of 40 
CFR part 63 on September 5, 1996, that storage vessel shall be assigned 
to the process unit subject to the other subpart.
    (2) If a storage vessel is dedicated to a single process unit, the 
storage vessel shall be assigned to that process unit.
    (3) If a storage vessel is shared among process units, then the 
storage vessel shall be assigned to that process unit located on the 
same plant site as the storage vessel that has the greatest input into 
or output from the storage vessel (i.e., the process unit that has the 
predominant use of the storage vessel.)
    (4) If predominant use cannot be determined for a storage vessel 
that is shared among process units and if only one of those process 
units is an EPPU subject to this subpart, the storage vessel shall be 
assigned to that EPPU.
    (5) If predominant use cannot be determined for a storage vessel 
that is shared among process units and if more than one of the process 
units are EPPUs that have different primary products and that are 
subject to this subpart, then the owner or operator shall assign the 
storage vessel to any one of the EPPUs sharing the storage vessel.
    (6) If the predominant use of a storage vessel varies from year to 
year, then predominant use shall be determined based on the utilization 
that occurred during the year preceding September 5, 1996 or based on 
the expected utilization for the 5 years following September 5, 1996, 
whichever is more representative of the expected operations for that 
storage vessel for existing affected sources, and based on the expected 
utilization for the first 5 years after initial start-up for new 
affected sources. The determination of predominant use shall be reported 
in the Notification of Compliance Status, as required by Sec.  
63.506(e)(5)(vii).
    (7) Where a storage vessel is located at a major source that 
includes one or more process units which place material into, or receive 
materials from the storage vessel, but the storage vessel is located in 
a tank farm (including a marine tank farm), the applicability of this 
subpart shall be determined according to the provisions in paragraphs 
(g)(7)(i) through (g)(7)(iv) of this section.
    (i) The storage vessel may only be assigned to a process unit that 
utilizes the storage vessel and does not have an

[[Page 616]]

intervening storage vessel for that product (or raw material, as 
appropriate). With respect to any process unit, an intervening storage 
vessel means a storage vessel connected by hard-piping both to the 
process unit and to the storage vessel in the tank farm so that product 
or raw material entering or leaving the process unit flows into (or 
from) the intervening storage vessel and does not flow directly into (or 
from) the storage vessel in the tank farm.
    (ii) If there is no process unit at the major source that meets the 
criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(i) of this section with respect to a 
storage vessel, this subpart does not apply to the storage vessel.
    (iii) If there is only one process unit at the major source that 
meets the criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(i) of this section with respect 
to a storage vessel, the storage vessel shall be assigned to that 
process unit. Applicability of this subpart to the storage vessel shall 
then be determined according to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this 
section.
    (iv) If there are two or more process units at the major source that 
meet the criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(i) of this section with respect to 
a storage vessel, the storage vessel shall be assigned to one of those 
process units according to the provisions of paragraphs (g)(3) through 
(g)(6) of this section. The predominant use shall be determined among 
only those process units that meet the criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(i) 
of this section.
    (8) If the storage vessel begins receiving material from (or sending 
material to) a process unit that was not included in the initial 
determination, or ceases to receive material from (or send material to) 
a process unit that was included in the initial determination, the owner 
or operator shall reevaluate the applicability of this subpart to that 
storage vessel.
    (h) Recovery operations equipment ownership determination. The owner 
or operator shall follow the procedures specified in paragraphs (h)(1) 
through (h)(6) of this section to determine to which process unit 
recovery operations equipment shall be assigned. Paragraph (h)(7) of 
this section specifies when an owner or operator is required to 
redetermine to which process unit the recovery operations equipment is 
assigned.
    (1) If recovery operations equipment is already subject to another 
subpart of 40 CFR part 63 on September 5, 1996, that recovery operations 
equipment shall be assigned to the process unit subject to the other 
subpart.
    (2) If recovery operations equipment is dedicated to a single 
process unit, the recovery operations equipment shall be assigned to 
that process unit.
    (3) If recovery operations equipment is shared among process units, 
then the recovery operations equipment shall be assigned to that process 
unit located on the same plant site as the recovery operations equipment 
that has the greatest input into or output from the recovery operations 
equipment (i.e., that process unit has the predominant use of the 
recovery operations equipment).
    (4) If predominant use cannot be determined for recovery operations 
equipment that is shared among process units and if one of those process 
units is an EPPU subject to this subpart, the recovery operations 
equipment shall be assigned to the EPPU subject to this subpart.
    (5) If predominant use cannot be determined for recovery operation 
equipment that is shared among process units and if more than one of the 
process units are EPPUs that have different primary products and that 
are subject to this subpart, then the owner or operator shall assign the 
recovery operation equipment to any one of those EPPUs.
    (6) If the predominant use of recovery operations equipment varies 
from year to year, then the predominant use shall be determined based on 
the utilization that occurred during the year preceding September 5, 
1996 for existing affected sources or based on the expected utilization 
for the 5 years following September 5, 1996 for existing affected 
sources, whichever is the more representative of the expected operations 
for the recovery operations equipment, and based on the expected 
utilization for the first 5 years after initial start-up for new 
affected

[[Page 617]]

sources. The determination of predominant use shall be reported in the 
Notification of Compliance Status, as required by Sec.  
63.506(e)(5)(viii).
    (7) If a piece of recovery operations equipment begins receiving 
material from a process unit that was not included in the initial 
determination, or ceases to receive material from a process unit that 
was included in the initial determination, the owner or operator shall 
reevaluate the applicability of this subpart to that recovery operations 
equipment.
    (i) Changes or additions to plant sites. The provisions of 
paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(4) of this section apply to owners or 
operators that change or add to their plant site or affected source. 
Paragraph (i)(5) provides examples of what are and are not considered 
process changes for purposes of paragraph (i) of this section. Paragraph 
(i)(6) of this section discusses reporting requirements.
    (1) Adding an EPPU to a plant site. The provisions of paragraphs 
(i)(1)(i) and (i)(1)(ii) of this section apply to owners or operators 
that add one or more EPPUs to a plant site.
    (i) If a group of one or more EPPUs that produce the same primary 
product is added to a plant site, the added group of one or more EPPUs 
and associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, 
shall be a new affected source and shall comply with the requirements 
for a new affected source in this subpart upon initial start-up or by 
June 19, 2000, whichever is later, if the added group of one or more 
EPPUs meets the criteria in either paragraph (i)(1)(i)(A) or 
(i)(1)(i)(B) of this section, and if the criteria in either paragraph 
(i)(1)(i)(C) or (i)(1)(i)(D) of this section are met.
    (A) The construction of the group of one or more EPPUs commenced 
after June 12, 1995.
    (B) The construction or reconstruction, for process units that have 
become EPPUs, commenced after June 12, 1995.
    (C) The group of one or more EPPUs and associated equipment, as 
listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, has the potential to emit 10 
tons per year or more of any HAP or 25 tons per year or more of any 
combination of HAP, and the primary product of the group of one or more 
EPPUs is currently produced at the plant site as the primary product of 
an affected source; or
    (D) The primary product of the group of one or more EPPUs is not 
currently produced at the plant site as the primary product of an 
affected source, and the plant site meets, or after the addition of the 
group of one or more EPPUs and associated equipment, as listed in 
paragraph (a)(4) of this section, will meet the definition of a major 
source.
    (ii) If a group of one or more EPPUs that produce the same primary 
product is added to a plant site, and the group of one or more EPPUs 
does not meet the criteria specified in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of this 
section, and the plant site meets, or after the addition will meet, the 
definition of a major source, the group of one or more EPPUs and 
associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, 
shall comply with the requirements for an existing affected source in 
this subpart upon initial start-up; by June 19, 2001; or by 6 months 
after notifying the Administrator that a process unit has been 
designated as an EPPU (in accordance with paragraph (f)(3)(iii) of this 
section), whichever is later.
    (2) Adding emission points or making process changes to existing 
affected sources. The provisions of paragraphs (i)(2)(i) through 
(i)(2)(ii) of this section apply to owners or operators that add 
emission points or make process changes to an existing affected source.
    (i) If any components are replaced at an existing affected source 
such that the criteria specified in paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) through 
(i)(2)(i)(B) of this section are met, the entire affected source shall 
be a new affected source and shall comply with the requirements for a 
new affected source upon initial start-up or by June 19, 2000, whichever 
is later.
    (A) The replacement of components meets the definition of 
reconstruction in Sec.  63.482(b); and
    (B) Such reconstruction commenced after June 12, 1995.
    (ii) If any components are replaced at an existing affected source 
such that the criteria specified in paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) and 
(i)(2)(i)(B) of this section are not met and that replacement of

[[Page 618]]

components creates one or more emission points (i.e., either newly 
created Group 1 emission points or emission points that change from 
Group 2 to Group 1) or causes any other emission point to be added 
(i.e., Group 2 emission points, back-end process operations subject to 
Sec. Sec.  63.493 and 63.500, and heat exchange systems and equipment 
leak components subject to Sec.  63.502), the resulting emission 
point(s) shall be subject to the applicable requirements for an existing 
affected source. The resulting emission point(s) shall be in compliance 
by 120 days after the date of initial start-up or by the appropriate 
compliance date specified in Sec.  63.481 (i.e., July 31, 1997 for most 
equipment leak components subject to Sec.  63.502, and June 19, 2001 for 
emission points other than equipment leaks), whichever is later.
    (iii) If an addition or process change (not including a process 
change that solely replaces components) is made that creates one or more 
Group 1 emission points (i.e., either newly created Group 1 emission 
points or emission points that change group status from Group 2 to Group 
1) or causes any other emission point to be added (i.e., Group 2 
emission points, back-end process operations subject to Sec. Sec.  
63.493 through 63.500, and heat exchange systems and equipment leak 
components subject to Sec.  63.502), the resulting emission point(s) 
shall be subject to the applicable requirements for an existing affected 
source. The resulting emission point(s) shall be in compliance by 120 
days after the date of initial start-up or by the appropriate compliance 
date specified in Sec.  63.481 (i.e., July 31, 1997 for most equipment 
leak components subject to Sec.  63.502, and June 19, 2001 for emission 
points other than equipment leaks), whichever is later.
    (3) Existing affected source requirements for surge control vessels 
and bottoms receivers that become subject to subpart H requirements. If 
a process change or the addition of an emission point causes a surge 
control vessel or bottoms receiver to become subject to Sec.  63.170 
under this paragraph (i), the owner or operator shall be in compliance 
upon initial start-up or by June 19, 2001, whichever is later.
    (4) Existing affected source requirements for compressors that 
become subject to subpart H requirements. If a process change or the 
addition of an emission point causes a compressor to become subject to 
Sec.  63.164 under this paragraph (i), the owner or operator shall be in 
compliance upon initial start-up or by the compliance date for that 
compressor, as specified in Sec.  63.481(d), whichever is later.
    (5) Determining what are and are not process changes. For purposes 
of paragraph (i) of this section, examples of process changes include, 
but are not limited to, changes in feedstock type or process catalyst 
type, or whenever the replacement, removal, or addition of recovery 
equipment, or equipment changes that increase production capacity. For 
purposes of paragraph (i) of this section, process changes do not 
include: process upsets, unintentional temporary process changes, and 
changes that do not alter the equipment configuration and operating 
conditions.
    (6) Reporting requirements for owners or operators that change or 
add to their plant site or affected source. Owners or operators that 
change or add to their plant site or affected source, as discussed in 
paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this section, shall submit a report as 
specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(7)(v).
    (j) Applicability of this subpart. Paragraphs (j)(1) through (4) of 
this section shall be followed during periods of non-operation of the 
affected source or any part thereof.
    (1) The emission limitations set forth in this subpart and the 
emission limitations referred to in this subpart shall apply at all 
times except during periods of non-operation of the affected source (or 
specific portion thereof) resulting in cessation of the emissions to 
which this subpart applies. However, if a period of non-operation of one 
portion of an affected source does not affect the ability of a 
particular emission point to comply with the emission limitations to 
which it is subject, then that emission point shall still be required to 
comply with the applicable emission limitations of this subpart during 
the period of non-operation. For example, if there is an overpressure in 
the reactor area, a storage vessel that

[[Page 619]]

is part of the affected source would still be required to be controlled 
in accordance with the emission limitations in Sec.  63.484.
    (2) The emission limitations set forth in subpart H of this part, as 
referred to in Sec.  63.502, shall apply at all times, except during 
periods of non-operation of the affected source (or specific portion 
thereof) in which the lines are drained and depressurized, resulting in 
cessation of the emissions to which Sec.  63.502 applies.
    (3) The owner or operator shall not shut down items of equipment 
that are required or utilized for compliance with this subpart during 
times when emissions (or, where applicable, wastewater streams or 
residuals) are being routed to such items of equipment if the shutdown 
would contravene requirements of this subpart applicable to such items 
of equipment.
    (4) In response to an action to enforce the standards set forth in 
this subpart, an owner or operator may assert an affirmative defense to 
a claim for civil penalties for exceedances of such standards that are 
caused by a malfunction, as defined in Sec.  63.2. Appropriate penalties 
may be assessed, however, if the owner or operator fails to meet the 
burden of proving all the requirements in the affirmative defense. The 
affirmative defense shall not be available for claims for injunctive 
relief.
    (i) To establish the affirmative defense in any action to enforce 
such a limit, the owners or operators of a facility must timely meet the 
notification requirements of paragraph (j)(4)(ii) of this section, and 
must prove by a preponderance of evidence that:
    (A) The excess emissions were caused by a sudden, infrequent, and 
unavoidable failure of air pollution control and monitoring equipment, 
or a process to operate in a normal and usual manner; and could not have 
been prevented through careful planning, proper design, or better 
operation and maintenance practices; did not stem from any activity or 
event that could have been foreseen and avoided, or planned for; and 
were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, 
operation, or maintenance;
    (B) Repairs were made as expeditiously as possible when the 
applicable emission limitations were being exceeded. Off-shift and 
overtime labor were used, to the extent practicable to make these 
repairs;
    (C) The frequency, amount, and duration of the excess emissions 
(including any bypass) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable 
during periods of such emissions;
    (D) If the excess emissions resulted from a bypass of control 
equipment or a process, then the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss 
of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
    (E) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the 
excess emissions on ambient air quality, the environment, and human 
health;
    (F) All emissions monitoring and control systems were kept in 
operation, if at all possible, consistent with safety and good air 
pollution control practices;
    (G) All of the actions in response to the excess emissions were 
documented by properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs;
    (H) At all times, the facility was operated in a manner consistent 
with good practices for minimizing emissions; and
    (I) The owner or operator has prepared a written root cause 
analysis, the purpose of which is to determine, correct, and eliminate 
the primary causes of the malfunction and the excess emissions resulting 
from the malfunction event at issue. The analysis shall also specify, 
using the best monitoring methods and engineering judgment, the amount 
of excess emissions that were the result of the malfunction.
    (ii) Notification. The owner or operator of the facility 
experiencing an exceedance of its emission limit(s) during a malfunction 
shall notify the Administrator by telephone or facsimile (FAX) 
transmission as soon as possible, but no later than 2 business days 
after the initial occurrence of the malfunction, if it wishes to avail 
itself of an affirmative defense to civil penalties for that 
malfunction. The owner or operator seeking to assert an affirmative 
defense shall also submit a written report to the Administrator within 
45

[[Page 620]]

days of the initial occurrence of the exceedance of the standard in this 
subpart to demonstrate, with all necessary supporting documentation, 
that it has met the requirements set forth in paragraph (j)(4)(i) of 
this section. The owner or operator may seek an extension of this 
deadline for up to 30 additional days by submitting a written request to 
the Administrator before the expiration of the 45 day period. Until a 
request for an extension has been approved by the Administrator, the 
owner or operator is subject to the requirement to submit such report 
within 45 days of the initial occurrence of the exceedance.

Sec.  63.481  Compliance dates and relationship of this subpart to 
existing applicable rules.

    (a) Affected sources are required to achieve compliance on or before 
the dates specified in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section. 
Paragraph (e) of this section provides information on requesting 
compliance extensions. Paragraphs (f) through (l) of this section 
discuss the relationship of this subpart to subpart A and to other 
applicable rules. Where an override of another authority of the Act is 
indicated in this subpart, only compliance with the provisions of this 
subpart is required. Paragraph (m) of this section specifies the meaning 
of time periods.
    (b) New affected sources that commence construction or 
reconstruction after June 12, 1995 shall be in compliance with this 
subpart upon initial start-up or by June 19, 2000, whichever is later.
    (c) With the exceptions provided in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of 
this section, existing affected sources shall be in compliance with this 
subpart no later than June 19, 2001, as provided in Sec.  63.6(c), 
unless an extension has been granted as specified in paragraph (e) of 
this section.
    (1) Existing affected sources producing epichlorohydrin elastomer, 
butyl rubber, neoprene rubber, and nitrile butadiene rubber shall be in 
compliance with the applicable emission limitation in Sec.  63.494(a)(4)

or CC and the owner or operator complies with the periodic reporting 
requirements under 40 CFR part 264 subpart AA or CC that would apply to 
the device if the facility had final-permitted status, the owner or 
operator may elect to comply either with the monitoring, recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements of this subpart, or with the monitoring, 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements in 40 CFR parts 264 and/or 265, 
as described in this paragraph, which shall constitute compliance with 
the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements of this 
subpart. The owner or operator shall identify which option has been 
selected in the Notification of Compliance Status required by Sec.  
63.506(e)(5).
    (l) Applicability of other requirements for heat exchange systems or 
waste management units. Paragraphs (l)(1) and (l)(2) of this section 
address instances in which certain requirements from other regulations 
also apply for the same heat exchange system(s) or waste management 
unit(s) that are subject to this subpart.
    (1) After the applicable compliance date specified in this subpart, 
if a heat exchange system subject to this subpart is also subject to a 
standard identified in paragraphs (l)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section, 
compliance with the applicable provisions of the standard identified in 
paragraphs (l)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section shall constitute compliance 
with the applicable provisions of this subpart with respect to that heat 
exchange system.
    (i) Subpart F of this part.
    (ii) A subpart of this part which requires compliance with Sec.  
63.104 (e.g., subpart JJJ of this part).
    (2) After the applicable compliance date specified in this subpart, 
if any waste management unit subject to this subpart is also subject to 
a standard identified in paragraph (l)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section, 
compliance with the applicable provisions of the standard identified in 
paragraph (l)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section shall constitute compliance 
with the applicable provisions of this subpart with respect to that 
waste management unit.
    (i) Subpart G of this part.
    (ii) A subpart of this part which requires compliance with 
Sec. Sec.  63.132 through 63.147 (e.g., subpart JJJ of this part).
    (m) All terms in this subpart that define a period of time for 
completion of required tasks (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annual), unless 
specified otherwise in the section or paragraph that imposes the 
requirement, refer to the standard calendar periods.
    (1) Notwithstanding time periods specified in this subpart for 
completion of required tasks, such time periods may be changed by mutual 
agreement between the owner or operator and the Administrator, as 
specified in subpart A of this part (e.g., a period could begin on the 
compliance date or another date, rather than on the first day of the 
standard calendar period). For each time period that is changed by 
agreement, the revised period shall remain

[[Page 623]]

in effect until it is changed. A new request is not necessary for each 
recurring period.
    (2) Where the period specified for compliance is a standard calendar 
period, if the initial compliance date occurs after the beginning of the 
period, compliance shall be required according to the schedule specified 
in paragraphs (m)(2)(i) or (m)(2)(ii) of this section, as appropriate.
    (i) Compliance shall be required before the end of the standard 
calendar period within which the compliance deadline occurs, if there 
remain at least 2 weeks for tasks that shall be performed monthly, at 
least 1 month for tasks that shall be performed each quarter, or at 
least 3 months for tasks that shall be performed annually; or
    (ii) In all other cases, compliance shall be required before the end 
of the first full standard calendar period after the period within which 
the initial compliance deadline occurs.
    (3) In all instances where a provision of this subpart requires 
completion of a task during each of multiple successive periods, an 
owner or operator may perform the required task at any time during the 
specified period, provided that the task is conducted at a reasonable 
interval after completion of the task during the previous period.

containing only the exhausts from two or more batch front-end process 
vents that are ducted, hard-piped, or otherwise connected together for a 
continuous flow.
    Annual average batch vent concentration is determined using Equation 
17, as described in Sec.  63.488(h)(2) for halogenated compounds.

    Average batch vent flow rate is determined by the procedures in 
Sec.  63.488(e)(1) and (e)(2).
    Back-end refers to the unit operations in an EPPU following the 
stripping operations. Back-end process operations include, but are not 
limited to, filtering, coagulation, blending, concentration, drying, 
separating, and other finishing operations, as well as latex and crumb 
storage. Back-end does not include storage and loading of finished 
product or emission points that are regulated under Sec. Sec.  63.484, 
63.501, or 63.502 of this subpart.
    Batch cycle means the operational step or steps, from start to 
finish, that occur as part of a batch unit operation.

where the reactor(s) is operated in a batch mode.
    Batch unit operation means a unit operation operated in a batch 
mode.
    Block polymer means a polymer where the polymerization is

that the final polymer is arranged in a distinct pattern of repeating 
units of the same monomer.
    Butyl rubber means a copolymer of isobutylene and other monomers. 
Typical other monomers include isoprene and methylstyrene. A typical 
composition of butyl rubber is approximately 85- to 99-percent 
isobutylene, and 1- to 15-percent other monomers. Most butyl rubber is 
produced by precipitation polymerization, although other methods may be 
used. Halobutyl rubber is a

[[Page 625]]

type of butyl rubber elastomer produced using halogenated copolymers.
    Combined vent stream, as used in reference to batch front-end 
process vents, continuous front-end process vents, and aggregate batch

fuel and air to provide a flame to heat and oxidize waste organic vapors 
in a combustion device.
    Compounding unit means a unit operation which blends, melts, and 
resolidifies solid polymers for the purpose of incorporating additives, 
colorants, or stabilizers into the final elastomer product. A unit 
operation whose primary purpose is to remove residual monomers from 
polymers is not a compounding unit.
    Construction means the on-site fabrication, erection, or 
installation of an affected source. Construction also means the on-site 
fabrication, erection, or installation of a process unit or combination 
of process units which subsequently becomes an affected source or part 
of an affected source, due to a change in primary product.
    Continuous front-end process vent means a process vent located in 
the front-end of a process unit and containing greater than 0.005 weight 
percent total organic HAP from a continuous unit operation within an 
affected source. The total organic HAP weight percent is determined

determined as specified in Sec.  63.115(c).
    Continuous mode means the continuous movement of material through a 
unit operation. Mass, temperature, concentration, and other properties 
typically approach steady-state conditions. For a unit operation 
operated in a continuous mode (i.e., continuous unit operation), the 
simultaneous addition of raw material and withdrawal of product is 
typical.
    Continuous process means, for the purposes of this subpart, a 
process where the reactor(s) is operated in a continuous mode.
    Continuous record means documentation, either in hard copy or 
computer readable form, of data values measured at least once every 15 
minutes and recorded at the frequency specified in Sec.  63.506(d) or 
(h).
    Continuous recorder means a data recording device that either 
records an instantaneous data value at least once every 15 minutes or 
records 1--hour or more frequent block average values.
    Continuous unit operation means a unit operation operated in a 
continuous mode.
    Control device is defined in Sec.  63.111, except that the term 
``continuous front-end process vent'' shall apply instead of the term 
``process vent,'' for the purpose of this subpart.
    Crumb rubber dry weight means the weight of the polymer, minus the 
weight of water and residual organics.
    Drawing unit means a unit operation which converts polymer into a 
different shape by melting or mixing the polymer and then pulling it 
through an orifice to create a continuously extruded product.
    Elastomer means any polymer having a glass transition temperature 
lower than -10 [deg]C, or a glass transition temperature between -10 
[deg]C and 25 [deg]C that is capable of undergoing deformation 
(stretching) of several hundred percent and recovering essentially when 
the stress is removed. For the purposes of this subpart, resins are not 
considered to be elastomers.
    Elastomer product means one of the following types of products, as 
they are defined in this section:
    (1) Butyl Rubber;
    (2) Epichlorohydrin Elastomer;
    (3) Ethylene Propylene Rubber;

[[Page 626]]

    Elastomer product process unit (EPPU) means a collection of 
equipment assembled and connected by hard-piping or duct work, used to 
process raw materials and to manufacture an elastomer product as its 
primary product. This collection of equipment includes unit operations; 
recovery operations equipment; process vents; storage vessels, as 
determined in Sec.  63.480(g); equipment that is identified in Sec.  
63.149; and the equipment that is subject to the equipment leak 
provisions as specified in Sec.  63.502. Utilities, lines and equipment 
not containing process fluids, and other non-process lines, such as 
heating and cooling systems which do not combine their materials with 
those in the processes they serve, are not part of an elastomer product 
process unit. An elastomer product process unit consists of more than 
one unit operation.
    Elastomer type means one of the elastomers listed under ``elastomer 
product'' in this section. Each elastomer identified in that definition 
represents a different elastomer type.
    Emission point means an individual continuous front-end process 
vent, batch front-end process vent, back-end process vent, storage 
vessel, waste management unit, heat exchange system, or equipment leak, 
or equipment subject to Sec.  63.149.
    Emulsion process means a process where the monomer(s) is dispersed 
in droplets throughout a water phase, with the aid of an emulsifying 
agent such as soap or a synthetic emulsifier. The polymerization occurs 
either within the emulsion droplet or in the aqueous phase.
    Epichlorohydrin elastomer means an elastomer formed from the 
polymerization or copolymerization of epichlorohydrin (EPI). The main 
epichlorohydrin elastomers are polyepichlorohydrin, epi-ethylene oxide 
(EO) copolymer, epi-allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) copolymer, and epi-EO-AGE 
terpolymer. Epoxies produced by the copolymerization of EPI and 
bisphenol A are not epichlorohydrin elastomers.
    Equipment means, for the purposes of the provisions in Sec.  
63.502(a) through (m) and the requirements in subpart H that are 
referred to in Sec.  63.502(a) through (m), each pump, compressor, 
agitator, pressure relief device, sampling connection system, open-ended 
valve or line, valve, connector, surge control vessel, bottoms receiver, 
and instrumentation system in organic hazardous air pollutant service; 
and any control devices or systems required by subpart H of this part.
    Ethylene-propylene rubber means an ethylene-propylene copolymer or 
an ethylene-propylene terpolymer. Ethylene-propylene copolymers (EPM) 
result from the polymerization of ethylene and propylene and contain a 
saturated chain of the polymethylene type. Ethylene-propylene 
terpolymers (EPDM) are produced in a similar manner as EPM, except that 
a third monomer is added to the reaction sequence. Typical third 
monomers include ethylidene norbornene, 1,4-hexadiene, or 
dicyclopentadiene. Ethylidene norbornene is the most commonly used. The 
production process includes, but is not limited to, polymerization, 
recycle, recovery, and packaging operations. The polymerization reaction 
may occur in either a solution process or a suspension process.
    Existing affected source is defined in Sec.  63.480(a)(3).
    Existing process unit means any process unit that is not a new 
process unit.
    Extruding unit means a unit operation which converts polymer into a 
different shape by melting or mixing the polymer and then forcing it 
through an orifice to create a continuously extruded product.
    Flexible operation unit means a process unit that manufactures 
different chemical products, polymers, or resins periodically by 
alternating raw materials or operating conditions. These units are also 
referred to as campaign plants or blocked operations.
    Front-end refers to the unit operations in an EPPU prior to, and 
including, the stripping operations. For all gas-phased reaction 
processes, all unit operations are considered to be front-end.

or degassing of a storage vessel. For purposes of the wastewater 
provisions of Sec.  63.501, shutdown does not include the routine 
rinsing or washing of equipment in batch operation between batches. For 
purposes of the batch front-end process vent provisions in Sec. Sec.  
63.486 through 63.492, the cessation of equipment in batch operation is 
not a shutdown, unless the equipment undergoes maintenance, is replaced,

unit operation is not considered supplemental combustion air. Air 
required to operate combustion device burner(s) is not considered 
supplemental combustion air. Air required to ensure the proper operation 
of catalytic oxidizers, to include the intermittent addition of air 
upstream of the catalyst bed to maintain a minimum threshold flow rate 
through the catalyst bed or to avoid excessive temperatures in the 
catalyst bed, is not considered to be supplemental combustion air.

control practices for minimizing emissions. The general duty to minimize 
emissions does not require the owner or operator to make any further 
efforts to reduce emissions if levels required by this standard have 
been achieved. Determination of whether such operation and maintenance 
procedures are being used will be based on information available to the 
Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring 
results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, review of 
operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the source. Except 
as allowed under paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section, the owner 
or operator of an existing or new affected source shall comply with the 
provisions in:
    (1) Section 63.484 for storage vessels;

either paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section, as appropriate. For 
purposes of this paragraph (b), owners or operators of affected sources 
with combined emission streams containing one or more batch front-end 
process vents and containing one or more continuous front-end process 
vents may comply with either paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section, 
as appropriate. For purposes of this paragraph (b), owners or operators 
of affected sources with combined emission streams containing one or 
more batch front-end process vents but not containing one or more 
continuous process vents shall comply with paragraph (b)(3) of this

operator chooses to consider that emission stream to be Group 1 for 
purposes of this paragraph. Compliance with the first applicable set of 
requirements identified in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (b)(2)(v) of 
this section constitutes compliance with all other requirements in 
paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (b)(2)(v) of this section applicable to 
other types of emissions in the combined stream.
    (i) The requirements of this subpart for Group 1 continuous front-
end process vents, including applicable monitoring, recordkeeping, and

the remaining emission streams.
    (c) Instead of complying with Sec. Sec.  63.484, 63.485, 63.493, and 
63.501, the owner or operator of an existing affected source may elect 
to control any or all of the storage vessels, continuous front-end 
process vents, batch front-end process vents, aggregate batch vent 
streams, back-end process emissions, and wastewater streams and 
associated waste management units within the affected source, to 
different levels using an emissions averaging compliance approach that 
uses the procedures specified in Sec.  63.503. The restrictions 
concerning which emission points may be included in an emissions 
average, including how many emission points may be included, are 
specified in

[[Page 633]]

    (t) When the provisions of Sec.  63.116(c)(3) and (c)(4) specify 
that Method 18, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall be used, Method 18 or 
Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A may be used for the purposes of 
this subpart. The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall 
conform with the requirements in paragraphs (t)(1) and (t)(2) of this 
section.
    (1) The organic HAP used as the calibration gas for Method 25A, 40

    (2) The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A is acceptable 
if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at least 20 times 
the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration gas 
when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.
    (u) In Sec.  63.116(a), instead of the reference to Sec.  63.11(b), 
the requirements in Sec.  63.504(c) shall apply.
    (v) When a combustion device is used to comply with the 20 parts per 
million by volume outlet concentration standard specified in Sec.  
63.113(a)(2), the correction to 3 percent oxygen is only required when 
supplemental combustion air is used to combust the emissions, for the 
purposes of this subpart. In addition, the correction to 3 percent 
oxygen specified in Sec.  63.116(c)(3) and (c)(3)(iii) is only required 
when supplemental combustion air is used to combust the emissions, for 
the purposes of this subpart. Finally, when a combustion device is used 
to comply with the 20 parts per million by volume outlet concentration 
standard specified in Sec.  63.113(a)(2), an owner or operator shall 
record and report the outlet concentration required in Sec.  
63.117(a)(4)(ii) and (a)(4)(iv) corrected to 3 percent oxygen when 
supplemental combustion air is used to combust the emissions, for the

Sec.  63.488  Methods and procedures for batch front-end process vent
group determination.

    (a) General requirements. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section, the owner or operator of batch front-end process vents at 
affected sources shall determine the group status of each batch front-
end process vent in accordance with the provisions of this section. This 
determination may be based on either organic HAP or TOC emissions.
    (1) The procedures specified in paragraphs (b) through (g) shall be 
followed to determine the group status of each batch front-end process 
vent. This determination shall be made in accordance with either 
paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (a)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) An owner or operator may choose to determine the group status of 
a batch front-end process vent based on the expected mix of products. 
For each product, emission characteristics of the single highest-HAP 
recipe, as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section, for that 
product, shall be used in the procedures in paragraphs (b) through (i) 
of this section.
    (ii) An owner or operator may choose to determine the group status 
of a batch front-end process vent based on annualized production of the 
single highest-HAP recipe, as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this 
section, considering all products produced or processed in the batch 
unit operation. The annualized production of the highest-HAP recipe 
shall be based exclusively on the production of the single highest-HAP 
recipe of all products produced or processed in the batch unit operation 
for a 12 month period. The production level used may be the actual 
production rate. It is not necessary to assume a maximum production rate 
(i.e., 8,760 hours per year at maximum design production).
    (iii) The single highest-HAP recipe for a product means the recipe 
of the product with the highest total mass of HAP charged to the reactor 
during the production of a single batch of product.
    (2) The annual uncontrolled organic HAP or TOC emissions and annual 
average batch vent flow rate shall be determined at the exit from the 
batch unit operation. For the purposes of these determinations, the 
primary condenser operating as a reflux condenser on a reactor or 
distillation column, the primary condenser recovering monomer, reaction 
products, by-products, or solvent from a stripper operated in batch 
mode, and the primary condenser recovering monomer, reaction products, 
by-products, or solvent from a distillation operation operated in batch 
mode shall be considered part of the batch unit operation. All other 
devices that recover or oxidize organic HAP or TOC vapors shall be 
considered control devices as defined in Sec.  63.482.
    (3) The owner or operator of a batch front-end process vent 
complying with the flare provisions in Sec.  63.487(a)(1) or Sec.  
63.487(b)(1) or routing the batch front-end process vent to a control 
device to comply with the requirements in Sec.  63.487(a)(2) or Sec.  
63.487(b)(2) is not required to perform the batch front-end process vent 
group determination described in this section, but shall comply with all 
requirements applicable to Group 1 batch front-end process vents.
    (b) Determination of annual emissions. The owner or operator shall 
calculate annual uncontrolled TOC or organic

[[Page 644]]

HAP emissions for each batch front-end process vent using the methods 
described in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(8) of this section. To 
estimate emissions from a batch emissions episode, owners or operators 
may use either the emissions estimation equations in paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (b)(4) of this section, or direct measurement as specified in 
paragraph (b)(5) of this section. Engineering assessment may also be 
used to estimate emissions from a batch emission episode, but only under 
the conditions described in paragraph (b)(6) of this section. In using 
the emissions estimation equations in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) 
of this section, individual component vapor pressure and molecular 
weight may be obtained from standard references. Methods to determine 
individual HAP partial pressures in multicomponent systems are described 
in paragraph (b)(9) of this section. Other variables in the emissions 
estimation equations may be obtained through direct measurement, as 
defined in paragraph (b)(5) of this section, through engineering 
assessment, as defined in paragraph (b)(6)(ii) of this section, by 
process knowledge, or by any other appropriate means. Assumptions used 
in determining these variables must be documented. Once emissions for 
the batch emission episode have been determined using either the 
emissions estimation equations, direct measurement, or engineering 
assessment, emissions from a batch cycle shall be calculated in 
accordance with paragraph (b)(7) of this section, and annual emissions 
from the batch front-end process vent shall be calculated in accordance 
with paragraph (b)(8) of this section.
    (1) TOC or organic HAP emissions from the purging of an empty vessel

process knowledge or test data collected, to demonstrate that test 
periods are representative. Examples of information that could 
constitute process knowledge include calculations based on material 
balances and process stoichiometry. Previous test results may be used

if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at least 20 times 
the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration gas 
when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.

paragraphs (b)(4)(ii)(A) through (b)(4)(ii)(C) of this section.
    (A) The owner or operator may determine gas stream flow using the 
design blower capacity, with appropriate adjustments for pressure drop.
    (B) If the scrubber is subject to regulations in 40 CFR parts 264 
through 266 that have required a determination of the liquid to gas (L/
G) ratio prior to the applicable compliance date for this subpart, the 
owner or operator may determine gas stream flow by the method that had 
been utilized to comply with those regulations. A determination that was 
conducted prior to the compliance date for this subpart may be utilized 
to comply with this subpart if it is still representative.
    (C) The owner or operator may prepare and implement a gas stream 
flow determination plan that documents an appropriate method which will 
be used to determine the gas stream flow. The plan shall require 
determination of gas stream flow by a method which will at least provide 
a value for either a representative or the highest gas stream flow 
anticipated in the scrubber during representative operating conditions. 
The plan shall include a description of the methodology to be followed 
and an explanation of how the selected methodology will reliably 
determine the gas stream flow, and a description of the records that 
will be maintained to document the determination of gas stream flow. The 
owner or operator shall maintain the plan as specified in Sec.  
63.506(a).
    (5) Where an absorber is used, a scrubbing liquid temperature 
monitoring device and a specific gravity monitoring device are required, 
each equipped with a continuous recorder.
    (6) Where a condenser is used, a condenser exit temperature (product 
side) monitoring device equipped with a continuous recorder is required.
    (7) Where a carbon adsorber is used, an integrating regeneration 
steam flow, nitrogen flow, or pressure monitoring device having an 
accuracy of 10 percent of the flow rate, level, or 
pressure, or better, capable of recording the total regeneration steam 
flow or nitrogen flow, or pressure (gauge or absolute) for each 
regeneration cycle; and a

[[Page 655]]

carbon bed temperature monitoring device, capable of recording the 
carbon bed temperature after each regeneration and within 15 minutes of 
completing any cooling cycle are required.
    (8) As an alternate to paragraphs (b)(5) through (b)(7) of this 
section, the owner or operator may install an organic monitoring device 
equipped with a continuous recorder.
    (c) Alternative monitoring parameters. An owner or operator of a 
batch front-end process vent or aggregate batch vent stream may request 
approval to monitor parameters other than those required by paragraph 
(b) of this section. The request shall be submitted according to the 
procedures specified in Sec.  63.492(e) and Sec.  63.506(f). Approval 
shall be requested if the owner or operator:
    (1) Uses a control device other than those included in paragraph (b) 
of this section; or
    (2) Uses one of the control devices included in paragraph (b) of 
this section, but seeks to monitor a parameter other than those 
specified in Table 6 of this subpart and paragraph (b) of this section.
    (d) Monitoring of bypass lines. The owner or operator of a batch 
front-end process vent or aggregate batch vent stream using a vent 
system that contains bypass lines that could divert emissions away from 
a control device used to comply with Sec.  63.487(a) or Sec.  63.487(b) 
shall comply with either paragraph (d)(1) or (d)(2) of this section. 
Equipment such as low leg drains, high point bleeds, analyzer vents, 
open-ended valves or lines, and pressure relief valves needed for safety 
purposes are not subject to this paragraph (d).
    (1) Properly install, maintain, and operate a flow indicator that 
takes a reading at least once every 15 minutes. Records shall be 
generated as specified in Sec.  63.491(e)(3). The flow indicator shall 
be installed at the entrance to any bypass line that could divert 
emissions away from the control device and to the atmosphere; or
    (2) Secure the bypass line damper or valve in the non-diverting 
position with a car-seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. A visual 
inspection of the seal or closure mechanism shall be performed at least 
once every month to ensure that the damper or valve is maintained in the 
non-diverting position and emissions are not diverted through the bypass 
line. Records shall be generated as specified in Sec.  63.491(e)(4).
    (e) Establishment of parameter monitoring levels. Parameter 
monitoring levels for batch front-end process vents and aggregate batch 
vent streams shall be established as specified in paragraphs (e)(1) 
through (e)(3) of this section.
    (1) For each parameter monitored under paragraph (b) or (c) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall establish a level, defined as 
either a maximum or minimum operating parameter as denoted in Table 7 of 
this subpart, that indicates proper operation of the control device. The 
level shall be established in accordance with the procedures specified 
in Sec.  63.505. The level may be based upon a prior performance test 
conducted for determining compliance with a regulation promulgated by 
the EPA, and the owner or operator is not required to conduct a 
performance test under Sec.  63.490, provided that the prior performance 
test meets the conditions of Sec.  63.490(b)(3).
    (i) For batch front-end process vents using a control device to 
comply with Sec.  63.487(a)(2), the established level shall reflect the 
control efficiency established as part of the initial compliance 
demonstration specified in Sec.  63.490(c)(2).
    (ii) For aggregate batch vent streams using a control device to 
comply with Sec.  63.487(b)(2), the established level shall reflect the 
emission reduction requirement of either 90 percent or 20 ppmv specified 
in Sec.  63.487(b)(2).
    (2) The established level, along with supporting documentation, 
shall be submitted in the Notification of Compliance Status or the 
operating permit application as required in Sec.  63.506(e)(5) or Sec.  
63.506(e)(8), respectively.
    (3) The operating day shall be defined as part of establishing the 
parameter monitoring level and shall be submitted with the information 
in paragraph (e)(2) of this section. The definition of operating day 
shall specify the

[[Page 656]]

time(s) at which an operating day begins and ends. The operating day 
shall not exceed 24 hours.

Sec.  63.490  Batch front-end process vents--performance test methods
and procedures to determine compliance.

    (a) Use of a flare. When a flare is used to comply with Sec.  
63.487(a)(1) or Sec.  63.487(b)(1), the owner or operator of an affected 
source shall comply with Sec.  63.504(c).
    (b) Exceptions to performance tests. An owner or operator is not 
required to conduct a performance test when a control device specified 
in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section is used to comply 
with Sec.  63.487(a)(2).
    (1) A boiler or process heater with a design heat input capacity of 
44 megawatts or greater.
    (2) A boiler or process heater where the vent stream is introduced 
with the primary fuel or is used as the primary fuel.
    (3) A control device for which a performance test was conducted for 
determining compliance with a regulation promulgated by the EPA and the 
test was conducted using the same Methods specified in this section and 
either no deliberate process changes have been made since the test, or 
the owner or operator can demonstrate that the results of the 
performance test, with or without adjustments, reliably demonstrate 
compliance despite process changes.
    (4) A boiler or process heater burning hazardous waste for which the 
owner or operator:
    (i) Has been issued a final permit under 40 CFR part 270 and 
complies with the requirements of 40 CFR part 266, subpart H; or
    (ii) Has certified compliance with the interim status requirements 
of 40 CFR part 266, subpart H.
    (5) A hazardous waste incinerator for which the owner or operator 
has been issued a final permit under 40 CFR part 270 and complies with 
the requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart O, or has certified 
compliance with the interim status requirements of 40 CFR part 265, 
subpart O.
    (c) Batch front-end process vent testing and procedures for 
compliance with Sec.  63.487(a)(2). Except as provided in paragraph (a) 
or (b) of this section, an owner or operator using a control device to 
comply with Sec.  63.487(a)(2) shall conduct a performance test using 
the procedures specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section in order to 
determine the control efficiency of the control device. An owner or 
operator shall determine the percent reduction for the batch cycle using 
the control efficiency of the control device as specified in paragraphs 
(c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iii) of this section and the procedures 
specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this section. Compliance may be based 
on either total organic HAP or TOC. For purposes of this paragraph (c), 
the term ``batch emission episode'' shall have the meaning ``period of 
the batch emission episode selected for control,'' which may be the 
entire batch emission episode or may only be a portion of the batch 
emission episode.
    (1) Performance tests shall be conducted as specified in paragraphs 
(c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(v) of this section.
    (i) Except as specified in paragraph (c)(1)(i)(A) of this section, a 
test shall be performed for the entire period of each batch emission 
episode in the batch cycle that the owner or operator selects to control 
as part of achieving the required 90 percent emission reduction for the 
batch cycle specified in Sec.  63.487(a)(2). Only one test is required 
for each batch emission episode selected by the owner or operator for 
control. The owner or operator shall follow the procedures listed in 
paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(B) through (c)(1)(i)(D) of this section.
    (A) Alternatively, an owner or operator may choose to test only 
those periods of the batch emission episode during which the emission 
rate for the entire episode can be determined or during which the 
emissions are greater than the average emission rate of the batch 
emission episode. The owner or operator choosing either of these options 
shall develop an emission profile for the entire batch emission episode, 
based on either process knowledge or test data collected, to demonstrate

[[Page 657]]

that test periods are representative. Examples of information that could 
constitute process knowledge include calculations based on material 
balances and process stoichiometry. Previous test results may be used, 
provided the results are still relevant to the current batch front-end 
process vent conditions.
    (B) Method 1 or 1A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as appropriate, 
shall be used for selection of the sampling sites if the flow measuring 
device is a pitot tube, except that references to particulate matter in 
Method 1A do not apply for the purposes of this subpart. No traverse is 
necessary when Method 2A or 2D, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A is used to 
determine gas stream volumetric flow rate. Inlet sampling sites shall be 
located as specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(B)(1) and (c)(1)(i)(B)(2) 
of this section. Outlet sampling sites shall be located at the outlet of 
the final control device prior to release to the atmosphere.
    (1) The control device inlet sampling site shall be located at the 
exit from the batch unit operation before any control device. Section 
63.488(a)(2) describes those recovery devices considered part of the 
unit operation. Inlet sampling sites would be after these specified 
recovery devices.
    (2) If a batch process vent is introduced with the combustion air or 
as a secondary fuel into a boiler or process heater with a design 
capacity less than 44 megawatts, selection of the location of the inlet 
sampling sites shall ensure the measurement of total organic HAP or TOC 
(minus methane and ethane) concentrations in all batch front-end process 
vents and primary and secondary fuels introduced into the boiler or 
process heater.
    (C) Gas stream volumetric flow rate and/or average batch vent flow 
rate shall be determined as specified in Sec.  63.488(e).
    (D) Method 18 or Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, shall be 
used to determine the concentration of organic HAP or TOC, as 
appropriate. Alternatively, any other method or data that has been 
validated according to the applicable procedures in Method 301, 40 CFR 
part 63, appendix A, may be used. The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A shall conform with the requirements in paragraphs 
(c)(1)(i)(D)(1) and (c)(1)(i)(D)(2) of this section.
    (1) The organic HAP used as the calibration gas for Method 25A, 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A shall be the single organic HAP representing the 
largest percent by volume of the emissions.
    (2) The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A is acceptable 
if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at least 20 times 
the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration gas 
when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.
    (ii) If an integrated sample is taken over the entire batch emission 
episode to determine the average batch vent concentration of TOC or 
total organic HAP, emissions per batch emission episode shall be 
calculated using Equations 18 and 19.

the performance testing procedures for continuous front-end process 
vents in Sec.  63.116(c).
    (1) For the purposes of this subpart, when the provisions of Sec.  
63.116(c) specify that Method 18, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall be 
used, Method 18 or Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A may be used.

if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at least 20 times 
the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration gas 
when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.
    (2) When Sec.  63.116(c)(4) refers to complying with an emission 
reduction of 98 percent, for the purposes of this subpart, the 90 
percent reduction requirement specified in Sec.  63.487(b)(2) shall

only required when supplemental combustion air is used to combust the 
emissions, for the purposes of this subpart.
    (f) Batch mass input limitation. The batch mass input limitation 
required by Sec.  63.487(g)(1) shall be determined by the owner or 
operator such that annual emissions for the batch front-end process vent 
remain less than the level specified in Sec.  63.488(d). The batch mass 
input limitation required by Sec.  63.487(f)(1) shall be determined by 
the owner or operator such that annual emissions remain at a level that 
ensures that the batch front-end process vent remains a Group 2 batch 
front-end process vent, given the actual annual flow rate for that batch 
front-end process vent determined according to Sec.  63.488(e)(3). The 
batch mass input limitation shall be determined using the same basis, as 
described in Sec.  63.488(a)(1), used to make the group determination 
(i.e., expected mix of products or highest-HAP recipe). The 
establishment of the batch mass input limitation is not dependent upon 
any past production or activity level.
    (1) If the expected mix of products serves as the basis for the 
batch mass input limitation, the batch mass input limitation shall be 
determined based on any foreseeable combination of products that the 
owner or operator expects to manufacture.
    (2) If the single highest-HAP recipe serves as the basis for the 
batch mass input limitation, the batch mass input limitation shall be 
determined based solely on the production of the single highest-HAP 
recipe, considering all

[[Page 661]]

products produced or processed in the batch unit operation.

Sec.  63.491  Batch front-end process vents--recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) Group determination records for batch front-end process vents. 
Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(7) and (a)(8) of this section, each 
owner or operator of an affected source shall maintain the records 
specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(6) of this section for each 
batch front-end process vent subject to the group determination 
procedures of Sec.  63.488. Except for paragraph (a)(1) of this section, 
the records required to be maintained by this paragraph are limited to 
the information developed and used to make the group determination under 
Sec. Sec.  63.488(b) through 63.488(g), as appropriate. If an owner or 
operator did not need to develop certain information (e.g., annual 
average batch vent flow rate) to determine the group status, this 
paragraph does not require that additional information be developed. 
Paragraph (a)(9) of this section specifies the recordkeeping 
requirements for Group 2 batch front-end process vents that are exempt 
from the batch mass input limitation provisions, as allowed under Sec.  
63.487(h).
    (1) An identification of each unique product that has emissions from 
one or more batch emission episodes venting from the batch front-end 
process vent, along with an identification of the single highest-HAP 
recipe for each product and the mass of HAP fed to the reactor for that 
recipe.
    (2) A description of, and an emission estimate for, each batch 
emission episode, and the total emissions associated with one batch 
cycle, as described in either paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (a)(2)(ii) of this 
section, as appropriate.
    (i) If the group determination is based on the expected mix of 
products, records shall include the emission estimates for the single 
highest-HAP recipe of each unique product identified in paragraph (a)(1) 
of this section that was considered in making the group determination 
under Sec.  63.488.
    (ii) If the group determination is based on the single highest-HAP 
recipe (considering all products produced or processed in the batch unit 
operation), records shall include the emission estimates for the single 
highest-HAP recipe.
    (3) Total annual uncontrolled TOC or organic HAP emissions,

limitation, in units of Mg organic HAP emissions per Mg of nitrile 
butadiene rubber produced, shall be calculated by dividing 2.4 Mg/yr by 
the mass of nitrile butadiene rubber produced in 2009, in Mg.
    (5) For EPPU that produce both an elastomer product with a residual 
organic HAP limitation listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this 
section, and a product listed in paragraphs (a)(5)(i) through (iv) of

63.152(c) are referred to in Sec.  63.146, the Periodic Report 
requirements contained in Sec.  63.506(e)(6) shall apply for the 
purposes of this subpart. In addition, when Sec.  63.146 requires that 
information be reported in the Periodic Reports required in Sec.  
63.152(c), owners or operators of affected sources shall report the 
specified information in the Periodic Reports required in Sec.  
63.506(e)(6), for the purposes of this subpart.
    (16) When the term ``range'' is used in Sec. Sec.  63.132 through 
63.149, the term ``level'' shall apply instead, for the purposes of this 
subpart. This level shall be determined using the procedures specified 
in Sec.  63.505.
    (17) When Sec.  63.143(f) specifies that owners or operators shall 
establish the range that indicates proper operation of the treatment 
process or control device, the owner or operator shall instead comply 
with the requirements of Sec.  63.505(c) or (d) for establishing 
parameter level maximums/minimums, for the purposes of this subpart.
    (18) When Sec.  63.146(b)(7) and Sec.  63.146(b)(8) require that 
``the information on parameter ranges specified in Sec.  63.152(b)(2)'' 
be reported in the Notification of Compliance Status, owners and 
operators of affected sources are instead required to report the 
information on parameter levels in the Notification of Compliance Status 
as specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(5)(ii), for the purposes of this 
subpart.
    (19) For the purposes of this subpart, the owner or operator of an 
affected source is not required to include process wastewater streams 
that contain styrene when conducting performance tests for the purposes 
of calculating the required mass removal (RMR) or the actual mass 
removal (AMR) under the provisions described in Sec.  63.145(f) or Sec.  
63.145(g). For purposes of this paragraph, a process wastewater stream 
is considered to contain styrene if the wastewater stream meets the 
requirements in paragraph (a)(19)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section:
    (i) The wastewater stream originates at equipment that produces 
styrene butadiene rubber by solution;
    (ii) The wastewater stream originates at equipment that produces 
styrene butadiene rubber by emulsion; or
    (iii) The wastewater stream originates at equipment that produces 
styrene butadiene latex.
    (20) When the provisions of Sec.  63.139(c)(1)(ii), Sec.  
63.145(d)(4), or Sec.  63.145(i)(2) specify that Method 18, 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A shall be used, Method 18 or Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A may be used for the purposes of this subpart. The use of 
Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall conform with the 
requirements in paragraphs (a)(20)(i) and (a)(20)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The organic HAP used as the calibration gas for Method 25A, 40 
CFR

[[Page 682]]

part 60, appendix A shall be the single organic HAP representing the 
largest percent by volume of the emissions.
    (ii) The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A is acceptable 
if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at least 20 times 
the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration gas 
when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.
    (21) In Sec.  63.145(j), instead of the reference to Sec.  63.11(b), 
and instead of Sec.  63.145(j)(1) and Sec.  63.145(j)(2), the 
requirements in Sec.  63.504(c) shall apply.
    (22) The owner or operator of a facility which receives a Group 1 
wastewater stream, or a residual removed from a Group 1 wastewater 
stream, for treatment pursuant to Sec.  63.132(g) is subject to the 
requirements of Sec.  63.132(g) with the differences identified in this 
section, and is not subject to subpart DD of this part, with respect to 
the received material.
    (23) When Sec.  63.132(g) refers to ``Sec. Sec.  63.133 through 
63.137'' or ``Sec. Sec.  63.133 through 63.147'', the provisions in this 
Sec.  63.501 shall apply, for the purposes of this subpart.
    (b) Except for those streams exempted by paragraph (c) of this 
section, the owner or operator of each affected source shall comply with 
the requirements for maintenance wastewater in Sec.  63.105, except that 
when Sec.  63.105(a) refers to ``organic HAPs listed in table 9 of 
subpart G of this part,'' the owner or operator is only required to 
consider compounds that meet the definition of organic HAP in Sec.  
63.482 and that are listed in table 9 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart G, for 
the purposes of this subpart.
    (c) The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section do not 
apply to the following:
    (1) Back-end streams originating from equipment whose only elastomer 
products are latex products.
    (2) Back-end streams at affected sources that are subject to a 
residual organic HAP limitation in Sec.  63.494(a)(1) through (3) and 
that are complying with these limitations through the use of stripping 
technology.

Sec.  63.502  Equipment leak and heat exchange system provisions.

    (a) Equipment leak provisions. The owner or operator of each 
affected source, shall comply with the requirements of subpart H of this 
part, with the exceptions noted in paragraphs (b) through (m) of this 
section. Surge control vessels required to be controlled by subpart H 
may, alternatively, comply with the Group 1 storage vessel provisions 
specified in Sec.  63.484.
    (b) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers described in 
paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(7) of this section are exempt from the 
requirements contained in Sec.  63.170.
    (1) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers that receive only 
styrene-butadiene latex;
    (2) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers that receive latex 
products other than styrene-butadiene latex, located downstream of the 
stripping operations;
    (3) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers that receive only 
high conversion latex products;
    (4) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers located downstream 
of the stripping operations at affected sources subject to the back-end 
residual organic HAP limitation located in Sec.  63.494(a)(1) through 
(3) that are complying through the use of stripping technology, as 
specified in Sec.  63.495;
    (5) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers that receive only 
styrene;
    (6) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers that receive only

    (1) Indications of liquids dripping, as defined in subpart H of this 
part, from bleed ports in pumps and agitator seals in light liquid 
service, shall not be considered a leak. For the purposes of this 
subpart, a ``bleed port'' is a technologically-required feature of the 
pump or seal whereby polymer fluid used to provide lubrication and/or 
cooling of the pump or agitator shaft exits the pump, thereby resulting 
in a visible dripping of fluid.
    (2) For reciprocating pumps in heavy liquid service, owners and 
operators are not required to comply with the requirements in Sec.  
63.169 and associated recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
    (3) Reciprocating pumps in light liquid service are exempt from 
Sec.  63.163 and associated recordkeeping and reporting requirements, if 
recasting the distance piece or reciprocating pump replacement would be 
necessary to comply with that section.
    (e) Owners and operators of an affected source subject to this 
subpart are not required to submit the Initial Notification required by 
Sec.  63.182(a)(1) and Sec.  63.182(b).
    (f) As specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(5), the Notification of

shall be submitted within 150 days (rather than 90 days) of the 
applicable compliance date specified in Sec.  63.481(d) for the 
equipment leak provisions.
    (g) The information specified by Sec.  63.182(a)(3) and Sec.  
63.182(d) (i.e., Periodic Reports) shall be submitted as part of the 
Periodic Reports required by Sec.  63.506(e)(6).
    (h) If specific items of equipment, comprising part of a process 
unit subject to this subpart, are managed by different administrative 
organizations (e.g., different companies, affiliates, departments, 
divisions, etc.), those items of equipment may be aggregated with any 
EPPU within the affected source for all purposes under subpart H of this 
part, providing there is no delay in achieving the applicable compliance 
date.
    (i) When Sec.  63.166(b)(4)(i) refers to Table 9 of subpart G of 
this part, the owner or operator is only required to consider organic 
HAP listed on Table 9 of subpart G of this subpart that are also listed 
on Table 5 of this subpart.
    (j) When the provisions of subpart H of this part specify that 
Method 18, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall be used, either Method 18 or 
Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A may be used for the purposes of 
this subpart. The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall 
conform with the requirements in paragraphs (j)(1) and (j)(2) of this 
section.
    (1) The organic HAP used as the calibration gas for Method 25A, 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A shall be the single organic HAP representing the 
largest percent by volume of emissions.
    (2) The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 63, appendix A is acceptable 
if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at least 20 times 
the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration gas 
when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.
    (k) An owner or operator using a flare to comply with the 
requirements of this section shall conduct a compliance demonstration as 
specified in Sec.  63.504(c).
    (l) When the term ``equipment'' is used in subpart H of this part, 
the definition of this term in Sec.  63.482(b) shall apply for the 
purposes of this subpart.
    (m) The phrase ``the provisions of subparts F, I, or U of this 
part'' shall apply instead of the phrase ``the provisions of subpart F 
or I of this part'' throughout Sec. Sec.  63.163 and 63.168, for the 
purposes of this subpart. In addition, the phrase ``subparts F, I, and 
U'' shall apply instead of the phrase ``subparts F and I'' in Sec.  
63.174(c)(2)(iii), for the purposes of this subpart.
    (n) Heat exchange system provisions. The owner or operator of each 
affected source shall comply with the requirements of Sec.  63.104 for 
heat exchange systems, with the exceptions noted in paragraphs (n)(1) 
through (n)(5) of this section.
    (1) When the term ``chemical manufacturing process unit'' is used in

[[Page 684]]

Sec.  63.104, the term ``elastomer product process unit'' (or EPPU) 
shall apply for the purposes of this subpart, with the exception noted 
in paragraph (n)(2) of this section.
    (2) When the phrase ``a chemical manufacturing process unit meeting 
the conditions of Sec.  63.100(b)(1) through (b)(3) of this subpart, 
except for chemical manufacturing process units meeting the condition 
specified in Sec.  63.100(c) of this subpart'' is used in Sec.  
63.104(a), the term ``an EPPU, except for EPPUs meeting the condition 
specified in Sec.  63.480(b)'' shall apply for the purposes of this 
subpart.
    (3) When Sec.  63.104 refers to Table 4 of subpart F of this part or 
Table 9 of subpart G of this part, the owner or operator is only 
required to consider organic HAP listed on Table 5 of this subpart.
    (4) When Sec.  63.104(c)(3) specifies the monitoring plan retention 
requirements, and when Sec.  63.104(f)(1) refers to the record retention 
requirements in Sec.  63.103(c)(1), the requirements in Sec.  63.506(a) 
and Sec.  63.506(h) shall apply, for the purposes of this subpart.
    (5) When Sec.  63.104(f)(2) requires information to be reported in

Sec.  63.503  Emissions averaging provisions.

    (a) This section applies to owners or operators of existing affected 
sources who seek to comply with Sec.  63.483(b) by using emissions 
averaging rather than following the provisions of Sec. Sec.  63.484, 
63.485, 63.486, 63.494, and 63.501.
    (1) The following emission point limitations apply to the use of 
these provisions:
    (i) All emission points included in an emissions average shall be 
from the same affected source. There may be an emissions average for 
each individual affected source located at a plant site.
    (ii)(A) If a plant site has only one affected source for which 
emissions averaging is being used to demonstrate compliance, the number 
of emission points allowed to be included in the emission average is 
limited to twenty. This number may be increased by up to five additional 
points if pollution prevention measures are used to control five or more 
of the emission points included in the emissions average.
    (B) If a plant site has two or more affected sources for which 
emissions averaging is being used to demonstrate compliance, the number 
of emission points allowed in the emissions average for those affected 
sources is limited to twenty. This number may be increased by up to five 
additional emission points if pollution prevention measures are used to 
control five or more of the emission points included in the emissions 
averages.
    (2) Compliance with the provisions of this section may be based on 
either organic HAP or TOC.
    (3) For the purposes of the provisions in this section, whenever 
Method 18, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, is specified within the 
paragraphs of this section or is specified by reference through 
provisions outside this section, Method 18 or Method 25A, 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A, may be used. The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A, shall conform with the requirements in paragraphs (a)(3)(i) 
and (a)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The organic HAP used as the calibration gas for Method 25A, 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A, shall be the single organic HAP representing 
the largest percent by volume of the emissions.
    (ii) The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, is 
acceptable if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at 
least 20 times the standard deviation of the response from the zero 
calibration gas when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive 
scale.
    (b) Unless an operating permit application has been submitted, the 
owner or operator shall develop and submit for approval an Emissions 
Averaging Plan containing all of the information required in Sec.  
63.506(e)(4) for all emission

[[Page 685]]

points to be included in an emissions average.
    (c) Paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section describe the 
emission points that may be used to generate emissions averaging credits 
if control was applied after November 15, 1990 and if sufficient 
information is available to determine the appropriate value of credits 
for the emission point. Paragraph (c)(5) of this section discusses the 
use of pollution prevention in generating emissions averaging credits.
    (1) Storage vessels, batch front-end process vents, aggregate batch 
vent streams, continuous front-end process vents, and process wastewater 
streams that are determined to be Group 2 emission points.
    (2) Storage vessels, continuous front-end process vents, and process 
wastewater steams that are determined to be Group 1 emission points and 
that are controlled by a technology that the Administrator or permitting 
authority agrees has a higher nominal efficiency than the reference 
control technology. Information on the nominal efficiencies for such 
technologies shall be submitted and approved as provided in paragraph 
(i) of this section.
    (3) Batch front-end process vents and aggregate batch vent streams 
that are determined to be Group 1 emission points and that are 
controlled to a level more stringent than the applicable standard.
    (4) Back-end process operations that are controlled such that 
organic HAP emissions from the back-end process operation are less than 
would be achieved by meeting the residual organic HAP limits in Sec.  
63.494. For the purposes of the emission averaging provisions in this 
section, all back-end process operations at an affected facility shall 
be considered a single emission point.
    (5) The percent reduction for any storage vessel, batch front-end 
process vent, aggregate batch vent stream, continuous front-end process 
vent, and process wastewater stream shall be determined using the 
procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this section.
    (i) For a Group 1 storage vessel, batch front-end process vent, 
aggregate batch vent stream, continuous front-end process vent, or 
process wastewater stream, the pollution prevention measure shall reduce 
emissions more than if the reference control technology or standard had 
been applied to the emission point instead of the pollution prevention 
measure, except as provided in paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) If a pollution prevention measure is used in conjunction with 
other controls for a Group 1 storage vessel, batch front-end process 
vent, aggregate batch vent stream, continuous front-end process vent, or 
process wastewater stream, the pollution prevention measure alone does 
not have to reduce emissions more than the reference control technology 
or standard, but the combination of the pollution prevention measure and 
other controls shall reduce emissions more than if the applicable 
reference control technology or standard had been applied instead of the 
pollution prevention measure.
    (d) The following emission points cannot be used to generate 
emissions averaging credits:
    (1) Emission points already controlled on or before November 15, 
1990 cannot be used to generate credits unless the level of control was 
increased after November 15, 1990. In this case, credit will be allowed 
only for the increase in control after November 15, 1990.
    (2) Group 1 emission points, identified in paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section, that are controlled by a reference control technology cannot be 
used to generate credits unless the reference control technology has 
been approved for use in a different manner and a higher nominal 
efficiency has been assigned according to the procedures in paragraph 
(i) of this section.
    (3) Emission points on nonoperating EPPU cannot be used to generate 
credits. EPPU that are shutdown cannot be used to generate credits or 
debits.
    (4) Maintenance wastewater cannot be used to generate credits. 
Wastewater streams treated in biological treatment units cannot be used 
to generate credits. These two types of wastewater cannot be used to 
generate credits or debits. For the purposes of this section, the terms 
wastewater and wastewater stream are used to mean process wastewater.

[[Page 686]]

    (5) Emission points controlled to comply with a State or Federal 
rule other than this subpart cannot be used to generate credits, unless 
the level of control has been increased after November 15, 1990 to a 
level above what is required by the other State or Federal rule. Only 
the control above what is required by the other State or Federal rule 
will be credited. However, if an emission point has been used to 
generate emissions averaging credit in an approved emissions average, 
and the emission point is subsequently made subject to a State or 
Federal rule other than this subpart, the emission point may continue to 
generate emissions averaging credit for the purpose of complying with 
the previously approved emissions average.
    (e) For all emission points included in an emissions average, the 
owner or operator shall perform the following tasks:
    (1) Calculate and record monthly debits for all Group 1 emission 
points that are controlled to a level less stringent than the reference 
control technology or standard for those emission points. The Group 1 
emission points are identified in paragraphs (c)(2) through (c)(4) of 
this section. Equations in paragraph (g) of this section shall be used 
to calculate debits.
    (2) Calculate and record monthly credits for all Group 1 and Group 2 
emission points that are overcontrolled to compensate for the debits. 
Equations in paragraph (h) of this section shall be used to calculate 
credits. Emission points and controls that meet the criteria of 
paragraph (c) of this section may be included in the credit calculation, 
whereas those described in paragraph (d) of this section shall not be 
included.
    (3) Demonstrate that annual credits calculated according to 
paragraph (h) of this section are greater than or equal to debits 
calculated for the same annual compliance period according to paragraph 
(g) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator may choose to include more than the 
required number of credit-generating emission points in an emissions 
average in order to increase the likelihood of being in compliance.
    (ii) The initial demonstration in the Emissions Averaging Plan or 
operating permit application that credit-generating emission points will 
be capable of generating sufficient credits to offset the debits from 
the debit-generating emission points shall be made under representative 
operating conditions. After the compliance date, actual operating data 
shall be used for all debit and credit calculations.
    (4) Demonstrate that debits calculated for a quarterly (3-month) 
period according to paragraph (g) of this section are not more than 1.30 
times the credits for the same period calculated according to paragraph 
(h) of this section. Compliance for the quarter shall be determined 
based on the ratio of credits and debits from that quarter, with 30 
percent more debits than credits allowed on a quarterly basis.
    (5) Record and report quarterly and annual credits and debits in the 
Periodic Reports as specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(6). Every fourth 
Periodic Report shall include a certification of compliance with the 
emissions averaging provisions as required by Sec.  
63.506(e)(6)(x)(C)(2).
    (f) Debits and credits shall be calculated in accordance with the 
methods and procedures specified in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this 
section, respectively, and shall not include emissions during the 
following periods:
    (1) [Reserved]
    (2) Emissions during periods of monitoring excursions, as defined in 
Sec.  63.505 (g) or (h). For these periods, the calculation of monthly 
credits and debits shall be adjusted as specified in paragraphs 
(f)(2)(i) through (f)(2)(iii) of this section.
    (i) No credits would be assigned to the credit-generating emission 
point.
    (ii) Maximum debits would be assigned to the debit-generating 
emission point.
    (iii) The owner or operator may demonstrate to the Administrator 
that full or partial credits or debits should be assigned using the 
procedures in paragraph (l) of this section.
    (g) Debits are generated by the difference between the actual 
emissions from a Group 1 emission point that is uncontrolled or is 
controlled to a level

[[Page 687]]

less stringent than the applicable reference control technology or 
standard and the emissions allowed for the Group 1 emission point. 
Debits shall be calculated as follows:
    (1) Source-wide debits shall be calculated using Equation 33. Debits 
and all terms of the equation are in units of megagrams per month (Mg/
month):

calculate ECFEPViACTUAL:
    (A) If the continuous front-end process vent is not controlled by a

    (i) The following procedures shall be followed to establish nominal 
efficiencies for emission controls for storage vessels, continuous 
front-end process vents, and process wastewater streams. The procedures 
in paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(6) of this section shall be followed 
for control technologies that are different in use or design from the 
reference control technologies and achieve greater percent reductions 
than the percent efficiencies assigned to the reference control 
technologies in Sec.  63.111.
    (1) In those cases where the owner or operator is seeking permission 
to take credit for use of a control technology that is different in use 
or design from the reference control technology, and the different 
control technology will be used in more than three applications at a 
single plant-site, the owner or operator shall submit the information 
specified in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) through (i)(1)(iv) of this section, as 
specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(7)(ii), to the Director of the EPA Office 
of Air Quality Planning and Standards, in writing.
    (i) Emission stream characteristics of each emission point to which 
the control technology is or will be applied, including the kind of 
emission point, flow, organic HAP concentration, and all other stream 
characteristics necessary to design the control technology or determine 
its performance.
    (ii) Description of the control technology, including design 
specifications.
    (iii) Documentation demonstrating to the Administrator's 
satisfaction the control efficiency of the control technology. This may 
include performance test data collected using an appropriate EPA Method 
or any other method validated according to Method 301, 40 CFR part 63, 
appendix A. If it is infeasible to obtain test data, documentation may 
include a design evaluation and calculations. The engineering basis of 
the calculation procedures and all inputs and assumptions made in the 
calculations shall be documented.
    (iv) A description of the parameter or parameters to be monitored to 
ensure

[[Page 697]]

that the control technology will be operated in conformance with its 
design and an explanation of the criteria used for selection of that 
parameter (or parameters).
    (2) The Administrator shall determine within 120 days whether an 
application presents sufficient information to determine nominal 
efficiency. The Administrator reserves the right to request specific 
data in addition to the items listed in paragraph (i)(1) of this 
section.
    (3) The Administrator shall determine within 120 days of the 
submittal of sufficient data whether a control technology shall have a 
nominal efficiency and the level of that nominal efficiency. If, in the 
Administrator's judgment, the control technology achieves a level of 
emission reduction greater than the reference control technology for a 
particular kind of emission point, the Administrator will publish a 
Federal Register notice establishing a nominal efficiency for the 
control technology.
    (4) The Administrator may grant permission to take emission credits 
for use of the control technology. The Administrator may also impose 
requirements that may be necessary to ensure operation and maintenance 
to achieve the specified nominal efficiency.
    (5) In those cases where the owner or operator is seeking permission 
to take credit for use of a control technology that is different in use 
or design from the reference control technology and the different 
control technology will be used in no more than three applications at a 
single plant site, the owner or operator shall submit the information 
listed in paragraph (i)(1)(i) as specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(7)(ii) to 
the Administrator.
    (i) In these instances, use and conditions for use of the control 
technology may be approved by the permitting authority as part of an 
operating permit application or modification. The permitting authority 
shall follow the procedures specified in paragraphs (i)(2) through 
(i)(4) of this section except that, in these instances, a Federal 
Register notice is not required to establish the nominal efficiency for 
the different technology.
    (ii) If, in reviewing the application, the permitting authority 
believes the control technology has broad applicability for use by other 
sources, the permitting authority shall submit the information provided 
in the application to the Director of the EPA Office of Air Quality 
Planning and Standards. The Administrator shall review the technology 
for broad applicability and may publish a Federal Register notice; 
however, this review shall not affect the permitting authority's 
approval of the nominal efficiency of the control technology for the 
specific application.
    (6) If, in reviewing an application for a control technology for an 
emission point, the Administrator or permitting authority determines 
that the control technology is not different in use or design from the 
reference control technology, the Administrator or permitting authority 
shall deny the application.
    (j) The following procedures shall be used for calculating the 
efficiency (percent reduction) of pollution prevention measures for 
storage vessels, continuous front-end process vents, batch front-end 
process vents, aggregate batch vent streams, and wastewater streams:
    (1) A pollution prevention measure is any practice which meets the 
criteria of paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and (j)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) A pollution prevention measure is any practice that results in a 
lesser quantity of organic HAP emissions per unit of product released to 
the atmosphere prior to out-of-process recycling, treatment, or control 
of emissions, while the same product is produced.
    (ii) Pollution prevention measures may include substitution of 
feedstocks that reduce organic HAP emissions; alterations to the 
production process to reduce the volume of materials released to the 
environment; equipment modifications; housekeeping measures; and in-
process recycling that returns waste materials directly to production as 
raw materials. Production cutbacks do not qualify as pollution 
prevention.
    (2) The emission reduction efficiency of pollution prevention 
measures implemented after November 15, 1990, may be used in calculating 
the actual emissions from an emission point in the

[[Page 698]]

debit and credit equations in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this section.
    (i) For pollution prevention measures, the percent reduction is used 
in the equations in paragraphs (g)(2) through (g)(7) of this section and 
paragraphs (h)(2) through (h)(7) of this section is the percent 
difference between the monthly organic HAP emissions for each emission 
point after the pollution prevention measure for the most recent month 
versus monthly emissions from the same emission point before the 
pollution prevention measure, adjusted by the volume of product produced 
during the two monthly periods.
    (ii) Equation 52 shall be used to calculate the percent reduction of 
a pollution prevention measure for each emission point.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR05SE96.049

where:

Percent reduction = Efficiency of pollution prevention measure (percent 
          organic HAP reduction).
EB = Monthly emissions before the pollution prevention 
          measure, Mg/month, determined as specified in paragraphs 
          (j)(2)(ii)(A), (j)(2)(ii)(B), and (j)(2)(ii)(C) of this 
          section.
Epp = Monthly emissions after the pollution prevention 
          measure, Mg/month, as determined for the most recent month, 
          determined as specified in either paragraphs (j)(2)(ii)(D) or 
          (j)(2)(ii)(E) of this section.
PB = Monthly production before the pollution prevention 
          measure, Mg/month, during the same period over which 
          EB is calculated.
Ppp = Monthly production after the pollution prevention 
          measure, Mg/month, as determined for the most recent month.

    (A) The monthly emissions before the pollution prevention measure, 
EB, shall be determined in a manner consistent with the 
equations and procedures in paragraph (g)(2) of this section for 
continuous front-end process vents, paragraph (g)(3) of this section for 
storage vessels, paragraph (g)(6) of this section for batch front-end 
process vents, and paragraph (g)(7) of this section for aggregate batch 
vent streams.
    (B) For wastewater, EB shall be calculated according to 
Sec.  63.150(j)(2)(ii)(B).
    (C) If the pollution prevention measure was implemented prior to 
September 5, 1996, records may be used to determine E B.
    (D) The monthly emissions after the pollution prevention measure, 
Epp, may be determined during a performance test or by a 
design evaluation and documented engineering calculations. Once an 
emissions-to-production ratio has been established, the ratio may be 
used to estimate monthly emissions from monthly production records.
    (E) For wastewater, Epp shall be calculated according to 
Sec.  63.150(j)(2)(ii)(E).
    (iii) All equations, calculations, test procedures, test results, 
and other information used to determine the percent reduction achieved 
by a pollution prevention measure for each emission point shall be fully 
documented.
    (iv) The same pollution prevention measure may reduce emissions from 
multiple emission points. In such cases, the percent reduction in 
emissions for each emission point shall be calculated.
    (v) For the purposes of the equations in paragraphs (h)(2) through 
(h)(7) of this section, used to calculate credits for emission points 
controlled more stringently than the reference control technology or 
standard, the nominal efficiency of a pollution prevention measure is 
equivalent to the percent reduction of the pollution prevention measure. 
When a pollution prevention measure is used, the owner or operator of an 
affected source is not required to apply to the Administrator for a 
nominal efficiency and is not subject to paragraph (i) of this section.
    (k) The owner or operator shall demonstrate that the emissions from 
the

[[Page 699]]

emission points proposed to be included in the emissions average will 
not result in greater hazard, or at the option of the Administrator, 
greater risk to human health or the environment than if the emission 
points were controlled according to the provisions in Sec. Sec.  63.484, 
63.485, 63.486, 63.493, and 63.501.
    (1) This demonstration of hazard or risk equivalency shall be made 
to the satisfaction of the Administrator.
    (i) The Administrator may require owners and operators to use 
specific methodologies and procedures for making a hazard or risk 
determination.
    (ii) The demonstration and approval of hazard or risk equivalency 
shall be made according to any guidance that the Administrator makes 
available for use.
    (2) Owners and operators shall provide documentation demonstrating 
the hazard or risk equivalency of their proposed emissions average in 
their operating permit application or in their Emissions Averaging Plan 
if an operating permit application has not yet been submitted.
    (3) An Emissions Averaging Plan that does not demonstrate hazard or 
risk equivalency to the satisfaction of the Administrator shall not be 
approved. The Administrator may require such adjustments to the 
Emissions Averaging Plan as are necessary in order to ensure that the 
emissions average will not result in greater hazard or risk to human 
health or the environment than would result if the emission points were 
controlled according to Sec. Sec.  63.484, 63.485, 63.486, 63.493, and 
63.501.
    (4) A hazard or risk equivalency demonstration shall:
    (i) Be a quantitative, bona fide chemical hazard or risk assessment;
    (ii) Account for differences in chemical hazard or risk to human 
health or the environment; and
    (iii) Meet any requirements set by the Administrator for such 
demonstrations.
    (l) For periods of monitoring excursions, an owner or operator may 
request that the provisions of paragraphs (l)(1) through (l)(4) of this 
section be followed instead of the procedures in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) 
and (f)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator of 
monitoring excursions in the Periodic Reports as required in Sec.  
63.506(e)(6).
    (2) The owner or operator shall demonstrate that other types of 
monitoring data or engineering calculations are appropriate to establish 
that the control device for the emission point was operating in such a 
fashion to warrant assigning full or partial credits and debits. This 
demonstration shall be made to the Administrator's satisfaction, and the 
Administrator may establish procedures for demonstrating compliance that 
are acceptable.
    (3) The owner or operator shall provide documentation of the 
excursion and the other types of monitoring data or engineering 
calculations to be used to demonstrate that the control device for the 
emission point was operating in such a fashion to warrant assigning full 
or partial credits and debits.
    (4) The Administrator may assign full or partial credit and debits 
upon review of the information provided.
    (m) For each emission point included in an emissions average, the 
owner or operator shall perform testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and 
reporting equivalent to that required for Group 1 emission points 
complying with Sec. Sec.  63.484, 63.485, 63.486, 63.493, and 63.501, as 
applicable. If back-end process operations are included in an emissions 
average, the owner or operator shall perform testing, monitoring, 
recordkeeping, and reporting equivalent to that required for back-end 
process operations complying with Sec.  63.493. The specific 
requirements for continuous front-end process vents, batch front-end 
process vents, aggregate batch vent streams, storage vessels, back-end 
process operations, and wastewater are identified in paragraphs (m)(1) 
through (m)(6) of this section.

Sec.  63.504  Additional requirements for performance testing.

    (a) Performance testing shall be conducted in accordance with Sec.  
63.7(a)(1), (a)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(4), (g), and (h), with the 
exceptions specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(5) of this section 
and the additions specified in paragraph (b) of this section. Sections 
63.484 through 63.501 also contain specific testing requirements.
    (1) Performance tests shall be conducted at maximum representative 
operating conditions achievable during one of the time periods described 
in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, without causing any of the 
situations described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section to occur. 
Upon request, the owner or operator shall make available to the 
Administrator such records as may be necessary to determine the 
conditions of performance tests.
    (i) The 6-month period that ends 2 months before the Notification of 
Compliance Status is due, according to Sec.  63.506(e)(5); or the 6-
month period that begins 3 months before the performance test and ends 3 
months after the performance test.
    (ii) Causing damage to equipment; necessitating that the owner or 
operator make product that does not meet an existing specification for 
sale to a customer; or necessitating that the owner or operator make 
product in excess of demand.
    (2) References in Sec.  63.7(g) to the Notification of Compliance 
Status requirements in Sec.  63.9(h) shall refer to the requirements in 
Sec.  63.506(e)(5).
    (3) Because the site-specific test plans in Sec.  63.7(c)(3) are not 
required, Sec.  63.7(h)(4)(ii) is not applicable.
    (4) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator of the 
intent to conduct a performance test at least 30 days before the 
performance test is scheduled, to allow the Administrator the 
opportunity to have an observer present during the test. If after 30 
days notice for an initially scheduled performance test, there is a 
delay (due to operational problems, etc.) in conducting the scheduled 
performance test, the owner or operator of an affected facility shall 
notify the Administrator as soon as possible of any delay in the 
original test date, either by providing at least 7 days prior notice of 
the rescheduled date of the performance test, or by arranging a 
rescheduled date with the Administrator by mutual agreement.
    (5) Performance tests shall be performed no later than 150 days 
after the compliance dates specified in this subpart (i.e., in time for 
the results to be included in the Notification of Compliance Status), 
rather than according to the time periods in Sec.  63.7(a)(2).
    (b) Data shall be reduced in accordance with the EPA approved 
methods specified in the applicable subpart or, if other test methods 
are used, the data and methods shall be validated according to the 
protocol in Method 301, 40 CFR part 63, appendix A.
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subpart, if an owner 
or operator of an affected source uses a flare to comply with any of the 
requirements of this subpart, the owner or operator shall comply with 
paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(3) of this section. The owner or operator 
is not required to conduct a performance test to determine percent 
emission reduction or outlet organic HAP or TOC concentration. If a 
compliance demonstration has been conducted previously for a flare, 
using the techniques specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(3) of 
this section, that compliance demonstration may be used to satisfy the 
requirements of this paragraph if either no deliberate process changes 
have been made since the compliance demonstration, or the results of the 
compliance demonstration reliably demonstrate compliance despite process 
changes.
    (1) Conduct a visible emission test using the techniques specified 
in Sec.  63.11(b)(4);
    (2) Determine the net heating value of the gas being combusted, 
using the techniques specified in Sec.  63.11(b)(6); and
    (3) Determine the exit velocity using the techniques specified in 
either

Sec.  63.505  Parameter monitoring levels and excursions.

    (a) Establishment of parameter monitoring levels. The owner or 
operator of a control or recovery device that has one or more parameter 
monitoring level requirements specified under this subpart shall 
establish a maximum or minimum level for each measured parameter. If a 
performance test is required by this subpart for a control device, the 
owner or operator shall use the procedures in either paragraph (b) or 
(c) of this section to establish the parameter monitoring level(s). If a 
performance test is not required by this subpart for a control device, 
the owner or operator may use the procedures in paragraph (b), (c), or 
(d) of this section to establish the parameter monitoring levels. When 
using the procedures specified in paragraph (c) or (d) of this section, 
the owner or operator shall submit the information specified in Sec.  
63.506(e)(3)(vii) for review and approval, as part of the Precompliance 
Report.
    (1) The owner or operator shall operate control and recovery devices 
such that the daily average of monitored parameters remains above the 
minimum established level or below the maximum established level, except 
as otherwise stated in this subpart.
    (2) As specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(5), all established levels, 
along with their supporting documentation and the definition of an 
operating day, shall be submitted as part of the Notification of 
Compliance Status.
    (3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow a monitoring 
parameter excursion caused by an activity that violates other applicable 
provisions of subpart A, F, G, or H of this part.
    (b) Establishment of parameter monitoring levels based exclusively 
on performance tests. In cases where a performance test is required by 
this subpart, or the owner or operator of the affected source elects to 
do a performance test in accordance with the provisions of this subpart, 
and an owner or operator elects to establish a parameter monitoring 
level for a control, recovery, or recapture device based exclusively on 
parameter values measured during the performance test, the owner or 
operator of the affected source shall comply with the procedures in 
paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this section, as applicable.
    (1) [Reserved]
    (2) Back-end process operations using a control or recovery device 
to comply with Sec. Sec.  63.493 through 63.500 and continuous front-end 
process vents. During initial compliance testing, the appropriate 
parameter shall be continuously monitored during the required 1-hour 
runs. The monitoring level(s) shall then be established as the average 
of the maximum (or minimum) point values from the three test runs. The 
average of the maximum values shall be used when establishing a maximum 
level, and the average of the minimum values shall be used when 
establishing a minimum level.
    (3) Batch front-end process vents. The monitoring level(s) shall be 
established using the procedures specified in either paragraph (b)(3)(i) 
or (b)(3)(ii) of this section. The procedures specified in this 
paragraph (b)(3) may only be used if the batch emission episodes, or 
portions thereof, selected to be controlled were tested, and monitoring 
data were collected, during the entire period in which emissions were 
vented to the control device, as specified in Sec.  63.490(c)(1)(i). If 
the owner or operator chose to test only a portion of the batch emission 
episode, or portion thereof, selected to be controlled, the procedures 
in paragraph (c) of this section shall be used.
    (i) If more than one batch emission episode or more than one portion 
of a batch emission episode has been selected to be controlled, a single 
level for the batch cycle shall be calculated as follows:
    (A) The average monitored parameter value shall be calculated for 
each batch emission episode, or portion thereof, in the batch cycle 
selected to be controlled. The average shall be based on all values 
measured during the required performance test.

[[Page 703]]

    (B) If the level to be established is a maximum operating parameter, 
the level shall be defined as the minimum of the average parameter 
values of the batch emission episodes, or portions thereof, in the batch 
cycle selected to be controlled (i.e., identify the emission episode, or 
portion thereof, which requires the lowest parameter value in order to 
assure compliance. The average parameter value that is necessary to 
assure compliance for that emission episode, or portion thereof, shall 
be the level for all emission episodes, or portions thereof, in the 
batch cycle, that are selected to be controlled).
    (C) If the level to be established is a minimum operating parameter, 
the level shall be defined as the maximum of the average parameter 
values of the batch emission episodes, or portions thereof, in the batch 
cycle selected to be controlled (i.e., identify the emission episode, or 
portion thereof, which requires the highest parameter value in order to 
assure compliance. The average parameter value that is necessary to 
assure compliance for that emission episode, or portion thereof, shall 
be the level for all emission episodes, or portions thereof, in the 
batch cycle, that are selected to be controlled).
    (D) Alternatively, an average monitored parameter value shall be 
calculated for the entire batch cycle based on all values measured 
during each batch emission episode, or portion thereof, selected to be 
controlled.
    (ii) Instead of establishing a single level for the batch cycle, as 
described in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section, an owner or operator 
may establish separate levels for each batch emission episode, or 
portion thereof, selected to be controlled. Each level shall be 
determined as specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A) of this section.
    (iii) The batch cycle shall be defined in the Notification of 
Compliance Status, as specified in Sec.  63.506(e)(5). The definition 
shall include an identification of each batch emission episode and the 
information required to determine parameter monitoring compliance for 
partial batch cycles (i.e., when part of a batch cycle is accomplished 
during two different operating days).
    (4) Aggregate batch vent streams. For aggregate batch vent streams, 
the monitoring level shall be established in accordance with paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section.
    (c) Establishment of parameter monitoring levels based on 
performance tests, supplemented by engineering assessments and/or 
manufacturer's recommendations. In cases where a performance test is 
required by this subpart, or the owner or operator elects to do a 
performance test in accordance with the provisions of this subpart, and 
the owner or operator elects to establish a parameter monitoring level 
for a control, recovery, or recapture device under this paragraph (c), 
the owner or operator shall supplement the parameter values measured 
during the performance test with engineering assessments and/or 
manufacturer's recommendations. Performance testing is not required to 
be conducted over the entire range of expected parameter values.
    (d) Establishment of parameter monitoring based on engineering 
assessments and/or manufacturer's recommendations. In cases where a 
performance test is not required by this subpart and an owner or 
operator elects to establish a parameter monitoring level for a control, 
recovery, or recapture device under this paragraph (d), the 
determination of the parameter monitoring level shall be based 
exclusively on engineering assessments and/or manufacturer's 
recommendations.
    (e) Demonstration of compliance with back-end process provisions 
using stripper parameter monitoring. If the owner or operator is 
demonstrating compliance with Sec.  63.495 using stripper parameter 
monitoring, stripper parameter levels shall be established for each 
grade in accordance with paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this section. A 
single set of stripper parameter levels may be representative of 
multiple grades.
    (1) For each grade, the owner or operator shall calculate the 
residual organic HAP content using the procedures in paragraphs 
(e)(1)(i) and (e)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The location of the sampling shall be in accordance with Sec.  
63.495(d).
    (ii) The residual organic HAP content in each sample is to be 
determined using Methods specified in Sec.  63.495(e).
    (2) For each grade, the owner or operator shall establish stripper 
operating

[[Page 704]]

parameter levels that represent stripper operation during the residual 
organic HAP content determination in paragraph (e)(1) of this section. 
The stripper operating parameters shall include, at a minimum, 
temperature, pressure, steaming rates (for steam strippers), and some 
parameter that is indicative of residence time.
    (3) After the initial determinations, an owner or operator may add a 
grade, with corresponding stripper parameter levels, using the 
procedures in paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this section. The results 
of this determination shall be submitted in the next periodic report.
    (4) An owner or operator complying with the residual organic HAP 
limitations in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of Sec.  63.494 using 
stripping, and demonstrating compliance by stripper parameter 
monitoring, shall redetermine the residual organic HAP content for all 
affected grades whenever process changes are made. For the purposes of 
this section, a process change is any action that would reasonably be 
expected to impair the performance of the stripping operation. For the 
purposes of this section, examples of process changes may include 
changes in production capacity or production rate, or removal or 
addition of equipment. For purposes of this paragraph, process changes 
do not include: Process upsets; unintentional, temporary process 
changes; or changes that reduce the residual organic HAP content of the 
elastomer.
    (f) [Reserved]
    (g) Parameter monitoring excursion definitions. (1) With respect to 
storage vessels (where the applicable monitoring plan specifies 
continuous monitoring), continuous front-end process vents, aggregate 
batch vent streams, back-end process operations complying with Sec.  
63.494(a)(1) through (3) through the use of control or recovery devices, 
and process wastewater streams, an excursion means any of the three 
cases listed in paragraphs (g)(1)(i) through (g)(1)(iii) of this 
section.
    (i) When the daily average value of one or more monitored parameters 
is above the maximum level or below the minimum level established for 
the given parameters.
    (ii) When the period of control or recovery device operation, with 
the exception noted in paragraph (g)(1)(v) of this section, is 4 hours 
or greater in an operating day and monitoring data are insufficient, as 
defined in paragraph (g)(1)(iv) of this section, to constitute a valid 
hour of data for at least 75 percent of the operating hours.
    (iii) When the period of control or recovery device operation, with 
the exception noted in paragraph (g)(1)(v) of this section, is less than 
4 hours in an operating day and more than two of the hours during the 
period of operation do not constitute a valid hour of data due to 
insufficient monitoring data, as defined in paragraph (g)(1)(iv) of this 
section.
    (iv) Monitoring data are insufficient to constitute a valid hour of 
data, as used in paragraphs (g)(1)(ii) and (g)(1)(iii) of this section, 
if measured values are unavailable for any of the 15-minute periods 
within the hour. For data compression systems approved under Sec.  
63.506(g)(3), monitoring data are insufficient to calculate a valid hour 
of data if there are less than four data measurements made during the 
hour.
    (v) The periods listed in paragraphs (g)(1)(v)(A) through 
(g)(1)(v)(E) of this section are not considered to be part of the period 
of control or recovery device operation, for the purposes of paragraphs 
(g)(1)(ii) and (g)(1)(iii) of this section.
    (A) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and 
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments; or
    (B) Periods of non-operation of the affected source (or portion 
thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the 
monitoring applies.
    (2) With respect to batch front-end process vents, an excursion 
means one of the two cases listed in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(ii) 
of this section. For a control device where multiple parameters are 
monitored, if one or more of the parameters meets the excursion criteria 
in either paragraph (g)(2)(i) or (g)(2)(ii) of this section, this is 
considered a single excursion for the control device. For each 
excursion, the owner

[[Page 705]]

or operator shall be deemed out of compliance with the provisions of 
this subpart, except as provided in paragraph (i) of this section.
    (i) When the batch cycle daily average value of one or more 
monitored parameters is above the maximum or below the minimum 
established level for the given parameters.
    (ii) When monitoring data are insufficient for an operating day. 
Monitoring data shall be considered insufficient when measured values 
are not available for at least 75 percent of the 15-minute periods when 
batch emission episodes selected to be controlled are being vented to 
the control device during the operating day, using the procedures 
specified in paragraphs (g)(2)(ii)(A) through (g)(2)(ii)(D) of this 
section.
    (A) Determine the total amount of time during the operating day when 
batch emission episodes selected to be controlled are being vented to 
the control device.
    (B) Subtract the time during the periods of monitoring system 
breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and zero (low-level) and high-
level adjustments from the total amount of time determined in paragraph 
(g)(2)(ii)(A) of this section, to obtain the operating time used to 
determine if monitoring data are insufficient.
    (1) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and 
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
    (2) Start-ups;
    (3) Shutdowns; or
    (4) Malfunctions.
    (C) Determine the total number of 15-minute periods in the operating 
time used to determine if monitoring data are insufficient, as was 
determined in accordance with paragraph (g)(2)(ii)(B) of this section.
    (D) If measured values are not available for at least 75 percent of 
the total number of 15-minute periods determined in paragraph 
(g)(2)(ii)(C) of this section, the monitoring data are insufficient for 
the operating day.
    (3) For storage vessels where the applicable monitoring plan does 
not specify continuous monitoring, an excursion is defined in paragraph 
(g)(3)(i) or (ii) of this section, as applicable. For a control or 
recovery device where multiple parameters are monitored, if one or more 
of the parameters meets the excursion criteria, this is considered a 
single excursion for the control or recovery device. For each excursion, 
the owner or operator shall be deemed out of compliance with the 
provisions of this subpart, except as provided in paragraph (i) of this 
section.
    (i) If the monitoring plan specifies monitoring a parameter and 
recording its value at specific intervals (such as every 15 minutes or 
every hour), either of the cases listed in paragraph (g)(3)(i)(A) or 
(g)(3)(i)(B) of this section is considered a single excursion for the 
control device.
    (A) When the average value of one or more parameters, averaged over 
the duration of the filling period for the storage vessel, is above the 
maximum level or below the minimum level established for the given 
parameters.
    (B) When monitoring data are insufficient. Monitoring data shall be 
considered insufficient when measured values are not available for at 
least 75 percent of the specific intervals at which parameters are to be 
monitored and recorded, according to the storage vessel's monitoring 
plan, during the filling period for the storage vessel.
    (ii) If the monitoring plan does not specify monitoring a parameter 
and recording its value at specific intervals (for example, if the 
relevant operating requirement is to exchange a disposable carbon 
canister before expiration of its rated service life), the monitoring 
plan shall define an excursion in terms of the relevant operating 
requirement.
    (h) Excursion definitions for back-end operations complying through 
stripping. (1) With respect to back-end process operations complying 
through the use of stripping technology, and demonstrating compliance by 
sampling, an excursion means one of the two cases listed in paragraphs 
(h)(1)(i) and (h)(1)(ii) of this section. For each excursion, the owner 
or operator shall be deemed out of compliance with the provisions of 
this subpart, except as provided in paragraph (i) of this section.
    (i) When the monthly weighted average residual organic HAP content 
is above the applicable residual organic HAP limitation in Sec.  63.494; 
or

[[Page 706]]

    (ii) When less than 75 percent of the samples required in 1 month 
are taken and analyzed in accordance with the provisions of Sec.  
63.495(b).
    (2) With respect to back-end process operations complying through 
the use of stripping technology, and demonstrating compliance by 
stripper parameter monitoring, an excursion means one of the three cases 
listed in paragraphs (h)(2)(i), (h)(2)(ii), and (h)(2)(iii) of this 
section. For each excursion, the owner or operator shall be deemed out 
of compliance with the provisions of this subpart, except as provided in 
paragraph (i) of this section.
    (i) When the monthly weighted average residual organic HAP content 
is above the applicable residual organic HAP limitation in Sec.  63.494;
    (ii) When an owner or operator fails to sample and analyze the 
organic HAP content of a sample for a grade with an hourly average 
stripper operating parameter value not in accordance with the 
established monitoring parameter levels for that parameter; or
    (iii) When an owner or operator does not collect sufficient 
monitoring data for at least 75 percent of the grades or batches 
processed during a month. Stripper monitoring data are considered 
insufficient if monitoring parameters are obtained for less than 75 
percent of the 15-minute periods during the processing of a grade, and a 
sample of that grade or batch is not taken and analyzed to determine the 
residual organic HAP content.
    (i) Excused excursions. A number of excused excursions shall be 
allowed for each control or recovery device for each semiannual period. 
The number of excused excursions for each semiannual period is specified 
in paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(6) of this section. This paragraph 
applies to affected sources required to submit Periodic Reports 
semiannually or quarterly. The first semiannual period is the 6-month 
period starting the date the Notification of Compliance Status is due.
    (1) For the first semiannual period--six excused excursions.
    (2) For the second semiannual period--five excused excursions.
    (3) For the third semiannual period--four excused excursions.
    (4) For the fourth semiannual period--three excused excursions.
    (5) For the fifth semiannual period--two excused excursions.
    (6) For the sixth and all subsequent semiannual periods--one excused 
excursion.
    (j) Excursion definition for back-end operations subject to Sec.  
63.494(a)(4). An excursion means when the total mass of organic HAP 
emitted for any consecutive 12-month period divided by the total mass of 
elastomer produced during the 12-month period, determined in accordance 
with Sec.  63.495(g), is greater than the applicable emission 
limitation, determined in accordance with Sec.  63.494(a)(4)(i) through 
(iv) and submitted in accordance with Sec.  63.499(f)(1).

FR 38074, June 19, 2000; 76 FR 22592, Apr. 21, 2011]



Sec.  63.506  General recordkeeping and reporting provisions.

    (a) Data retention. Unless otherwise specified in this subpart, the 
owner or operator of an affected source shall keep copies of all 
applicable records and reports required by this subpart for at least 5 
years, as specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, with the 
exception listed in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (1) All applicable records shall be maintained in such a manner that 
they can be readily accessed. The most recent 6 months of records shall 
be retained on site or shall be accessible from a central location by 
computer or other means that provide access within 2 hours after a 
request. The remaining 4 and one-half years of records may be retained 
offsite. Records may be maintained in hard copy or computer-readable 
form including, but not limited to, on microfilm, computer, floppy disk, 
magnetic tape, or microfiche.
    (2) If an owner or operator submits copies of reports to the 
appropriate EPA Regional Office, the owner or operator is not required 
to maintain copies of reports. If the EPA Regional Office has waived the 
requirement of Sec.  63.10(a)(4)(ii) for submittal of copies of reports, 
the owner or operator is not required to maintain copies of those 
reports.

[[Page 707]]

    (b) Subpart A requirements. The owner or operator of an affected 
source shall comply with the applicable recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements in 40 CFR part 63, subpart A as specified in Table 1 of 
this subpart. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the 
requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section.
    (1) Malfunction records. Each owner or operator of an affected 
source subject to this subpart shall maintain records of the occurrence 
and duration of each malfunction of operation (i.e., process equipment), 
air pollution control equipment, or monitoring equipment. Each owner or 
operator shall maintain records of actions taken during periods of 
malfunction to minimize emissions in accordance with Sec.  63.483(a)(1), 
including corrective actions to restore malfunctioning process and air 
pollution control and monitoring equipment to its normal or usual manner 
of operation.
    (i) Records of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction. The owner or 
operator shall keep the records specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i)(A) 
through (b)(1)(i)(C) of this section.
    (A) Records of the occurrence and duration of each start-up, 
shutdown, and malfunction of operation of process equipment or control 
devices or recovery devices or continuous monitoring systems used to 
comply with this subpart during which excess emissions (as defined in 
Sec.  63.480(j)(4)) occur.
    (B) For each start-up, shutdown, or malfunction during which excess 
emissions (as defined in Sec.  63.480(j)(4)) occur, records reflecting 
whether the procedures specified in the affected source's start-up, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan were followed, and documentation of 
actions taken that are not consistent with the plan. For example, if a 
start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan includes procedures for routing 
a control device to a backup control device, records shall be kept of 
whether the plan was followed. These records may take the form of a 
``checklist,'' or other form of recordkeeping that confirms conformance 
with the start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan for the event.
    (C) Records specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i)(A) through 
(b)(1)(i)(B) of this section are not required if they pertain solely to 
Group 2 emission points that are not included in an emissions average.
    (ii) Reports of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction. For the 
purposes of this subpart, the semiannual start-up, shutdown, and 
malfunction reports shall be submitted on the same schedule as the 
Periodic Reports required under paragraph (e)(6) of this section instead 
of the schedule specified in Sec.  63.10(d)(5)(i). The reports shall 
include the information specified in Sec.  63.10(d)(5)(i).
    (2) Application for approval of construction or reconstruction. For 
new affected sources, each owner or operator shall comply with the 
provisions in Sec.  63.5 regarding construction and reconstruction, 
excluding the provisions specified in Sec.  63.5(d)(1)(ii)(H), 
(d)(1)(iii), (d)(2), and (d)(3)(ii).
    (c) [Reserved]
    (d) Recordkeeping and documentation. Owners or operators required to 
keep continuous records shall keep records as specified in paragraphs 
(d)(1) through (d)(7) of this section, unless an alternative 
recordkeeping system has been requested and approved as specified in 
paragraph (g) of this section, and except as provided in paragraph (h) 
of this section. If a monitoring plan for storage vessels pursuant to 
Sec.  63.484(k) requires continuous records, the monitoring plan shall 
specify which provisions, if any, of paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(7) of 
this section apply. As described in Sec.  63.484(k), certain storage 
vessels are not required to keep continuous records as specified in this 
paragraph. Owners and operators of such storage vessels shall keep 
records as specified in the monitoring plan required by Sec.  63.484(k). 
Paragraphs (d)(8) and (d)(9) of this section specify documentation 
requirements.
    (1) The monitoring system shall measure data values at least once 
every 15 minutes.
    (2) The owner or operator shall record either each measured data 
value or block average values for 1 hour or shorter periods calculated 
from all measured data values during each period. If values are measured 
more frequently than once per minute, a single value for each minute may 
be used to calculate the hourly (or shorter period)

[[Page 708]]

block average instead of all measured values. Owners or operators of 
batch front-end process vents shall record each measured data value.
    (3) Daily average (or batch cycle daily average) values of each 
continuously monitored parameter shall be calculated for each operating 
day as specified in paragraphs (d)(3)(i) through (d)(3)(ii) of this 
section, except as specified in paragraphs (d)(6) and (d)(7) of this 
section.
    (i) The daily average value or batch cycle daily average shall be 
calculated as the average of all parameter values recorded during the 
operating day, except as specified in paragraph (d)(7) of this section. 
For batch front-end process vents, as specified in Sec.  
63.491(e)(2)(i), only parameter values measured during those batch 
emission episodes, or portions thereof, in the batch cycle that the 
owner or operator has chosen to control shall be used to calculate the 
average. The calculated average shall cover a 24-hour period if 
operation is continuous, or the number of hours of operation per 
operating day if operation is not continuous.
    (ii) The operating day shall be the period that the owner or 
operator specifies in the operating permit or the Notification of 
Compliance Status for purposes of determining daily average values or 
batch cycle daily average values of monitored parameters.
    (4)-(5) [Reserved]
    (6) Records required when all recorded values are within the 
established limits. If all recorded values for a monitored parameter 
during an operating day are above the minimum level or below the maximum 
level established in the Notification of Compliance Status or operating 
permit, the owner or operator may record that all values were above the 
minimum level or below the maximum level rather than calculating and 
recording a daily average (or batch cycle daily average) for that 
operating day.
    (7) Monitoring data recorded during periods identified in paragraphs 
(d)(7)(i) and (ii) of this section shall not be included in any average 
computed under this subpart. Records shall be kept of the times and 
durations of all such periods and any other periods during process or 
control device or recovery device operation when monitors are not 
operating.
    (i) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and 
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments; or
    (ii) Periods of non-operation of the affected source (or portion 
thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the 
monitoring applies.
    (8) For continuous monitoring systems used to comply with this 
subpart, records documenting the completion of calibration checks, and 
records documenting the maintenance of continuous monitoring systems 
that are specified in the manufacturer's instructions or that are 
specified in other written procedures that provide adequate assurance 
that the equipment would reasonably be expected to monitor accurately.
    (9) The owner or operator of an affected source granted a waiver 
under Sec.  63.10(f) shall maintain the information, if any, specified 
by the Administrator as a condition of the waiver of recordkeeping or 
reporting requirements.
    (e) Reporting and notification. In addition to the reports and 
notifications required by subpart A, as specified in Table 1 of this 
subpart, the owner or operator of an affected source shall prepare and 
submit the reports listed in paragraphs (e)(3) through (e)(8) of this 
section, as applicable. All reports required by this subpart, and the 
schedule for their submittal, are listed in Table 9 of this subpart.
    (1) Owners and operators shall not be in violation of the reporting 
requirements of this subpart for failing to submit information required 
to be included in a specified report if the owner or operator meets the 
requirements in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) through (e)(1)(iii) of this 
section. Examples of circumstances where this paragraph may apply 
include information related to newly-added equipment or emission points, 
changes in the process, changes in equipment required or utilized for 
compliance with the requirements of this subpart, or changes in methods 
or equipment for monitoring, recordkeeping, or reporting.

[[Page 709]]

    (i) The information was not known in time for inclusion in the 
report specified by this subpart;
    (ii) The owner or operator has been diligent in obtaining the 
information; and
    (iii) The owner or operator submits a report according to the 
provisions of paragraphs (e)(1)(iii)(A) through (e)(1)(iii)(C) of this 
section.
    (A) If this subpart expressly provides for supplements to the report 
in which the information is required, the owner or operator shall submit 
the information as a supplement to that report. The information shall be 
submitted no later than 60 days after it is obtained, unless otherwise 
specified in this subpart.
    (B) If this subpart does not expressly provide for supplements, but 
the owner or operator must submit a request for revision of an operating 
permit pursuant to part 70 or part 71, due to circumstances to which the 
information pertains, the owner or operator shall submit the information 
with the request for revision to the operating permit.
    (C) In any case not addressed by paragraph (e)(1)(iii)(A) or 
(e)(1)(iii)(B) of this section, the owner or operator shall submit the 
information with the first Periodic Report, as required by this subpart, 
which has a submission deadline at least 60 days after the information 
is obtained.
    (2) All reports required under this subpart shall be sent to the 
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  63.13. If 
acceptable to both the Administrator and the owner or operator of a 
source, reports may be submitted on electronic media.
    (3) Precompliance Report. Owners or operators of affected sources 
requesting an extension for compliance; requesting approval to use 
alternative monitoring parameters, alternative continuous monitoring and 
recordkeeping, or alternative controls; requesting approval to use 
engineering assessment to estimate emissions from a batch emissions 
episode, as described in Sec.  63.488(b)(6)(i); wishing to establish 
parameter monitoring levels according to the procedures contained in 
Sec.  63.505(c) or (d); shall submit a Precompliance Report according to 
the schedule described in paragraph (e)(3)(i) of this section. The 
Precompliance Report shall contain the information specified in 
paragraphs (e)(3)(ii) through (vii) of this section, as appropriate.
    (i) Submittal dates. The Precompliance Report shall be submitted to 
the Administrator no later than December 19, 2000. If a Precompliance

    (3) The required information shall include a description of the 
proposed

[[Page 720]]

monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting system, to include the 
frequency and content of monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting. 
Further, the rationale for the proposed monitoring, recordkeeping, and 
reporting system shall be included if either condition in paragraph 
(f)(3)(i) or (f)(3)(ii) of this section is met:
    (i) If monitoring and recordkeeping is not continuous, or
    (ii) If reports of daily average values will not be included in 
Periodic Reports when the monitored parameter value is above the maximum 
level or below the minimum level as established in the operating permit 
or the Notification of Compliance Status.
    (g) Alternative continuous monitoring and recordkeeping. An owner or 
operator choosing not to implement the continuous parameter operating 
and recordkeeping provisions listed in Sec.  63.485 for continuous 
front-end process vents, Sec.  63.486 for batch front-end process vents 
and aggregate batch vent streams, Sec.  63.493 for back-end process 
operations, and Sec.  63.501 for process wastewater, may instead request 
approval to use alternative continuous monitoring and recordkeeping 
provisions according to the procedures specified in paragraphs (g)(1) 
through (g)(4) of this section. Requests shall be submitted in the 
Precompliance Report as specified in paragraph (e)(3)(iv) of this 
section, if not already included in the operating permit application, 
and shall contain the information specified in paragraphs (g)(2)(ii) and 
(g)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable.
    (1) The provisions in Sec.  63.8(f)(5)(i) shall govern the review 
and approval of requests.
    (2) An owner or operator of an affected source that does not have an 
automated monitoring and recording system capable of measuring parameter 
values at least once every 15 minutes and that does not generate 
continuous records may request approval to use a nonautomated system 
with less frequent monitoring, in accordance with paragraphs (g)(2)(i) 
and (g)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The requested system shall include manual reading and recording 
of the value of the relevant operating parameter no less frequently than 
once per hour. Daily average or batch cycle daily average values shall 
be calculated from these hourly values and recorded.
    (ii) The request shall contain:
    (A) A description of the planned monitoring and recordkeeping 
system;
    (B) Documentation that the affected source does not have an 
automated monitoring and recording system;
    (C) Justification for requesting an alternative monitoring and 
recordkeeping system; and
    (D) Demonstration to the Administrator's satisfaction that the 
proposed monitoring frequency is sufficient to represent control or 
recovery device operating conditions, considering typical variability of 
the specific process and control or recovery device operating parameter 
being monitored.
    (3) An owner or operator may request approval to use an automated 
data compression recording system that does not record monitored 
operating parameter values at a set frequency, but that records all 
values that meet set criteria for variation from previously recorded 
values, in accordance with paragraphs (g)(3)(i) and (g)(3)(ii) of this 
section.
    (i) The requested system shall be designed to:
    (A) Measure the operating parameter value at least once during every 
15 minute period;
    (B) Except for the monitoring of batch front-end process vents, 
record at least four values each hour during periods of operation;
    (C) Record the date and time when monitors are turned off or on;
    (D) Recognize unchanging data that may indicate the monitor is not 
functioning properly, alert the operator, and record the incident;
    (E) Calculate daily average or batch cycle daily average values of 
the monitored operating parameter based on all measured data; and
    (F) If the daily average is not an excursion, as defined in Sec.  
63.505 (g) or (h), the data for that operating day may be converted to 
hourly average values and the four or more individual records for each 
hour in the operating day may be discarded.
    (ii) The request shall contain:

[[Page 721]]

    (A) A description of the monitoring system and data compression 
recording system, including the criteria used to determine which 
monitored values are recorded and retained;
    (B) The method for calculating daily averages and batch cycle daily 
averages; and
    (C) A demonstration that the system meets all criteria in paragraph 
(g)(3)(i) of this section.
    (4) An owner or operator may request approval to use other 
alternative monitoring systems according to the procedures specified in 
Sec.  63.8(f)(4).
    (h) Reduced recordkeeping program. For any parameter with respect to 
any item of equipment, the owner or operator may implement the 
recordkeeping requirements in paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this section 
as alternatives to the continuous operating parameter monitoring and 
recordkeeping provisions that would otherwise apply under this subpart. 
The owner or operator shall retain for a period of 5 years each record 
required by paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this section, except as 
otherwise provided in paragraph (h)(1)(vi)(D) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator may retain only the daily average or the 
batch cycle daily average value, and is not required to retain more 
frequent monitored operating parameter values, for a monitored parameter 
with respect to an item of equipment, if the requirements of paragraphs 
(h)(1)(i) through (h)(1)(vi) of this section are met. An owner or 
operator electing to comply with the requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of 
this section shall notify the Administrator in the Notification of 
Compliance Status as specified in paragraph (e)(5)(xii) of this section, 
or, if the Notification of Compliance Status has already been submitted, 
in the Periodic Report immediately preceding implementation of the 
requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of this section, as specified in 
paragraph (e)(6)(ix) of this section.
    (i) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unrealistic or 
impossible data during periods of normal operation (e.g., a temperature 
reading of -200 [deg]C on a boiler), and will alert the operator by 
alarm or other means. The owner or operator shall record the occurrence. 
All instances of the alarm or other alert in an operating day constitute 
a single occurrence.
    (ii) The monitoring system generates, updated at least hourly 
throughout each operating day, a running average of the monitoring 
values that have been obtained during that operating day, and the 
capability to observe this running average is readily available to the 
Administrator on-site during the operating day. The owner or operator 
shall record the occurrence of any period meeting the criteria in 
paragraphs (h)(1)(ii)(A) through (h)(1)(ii)(C) of this section. All 
instances in an operating day constitute a single occurrence.
    (A) The running average is above the maximum or below the minimum 
established limits;
    (B) The running average is based on at least six one-hour average 
values; and
    (C) The running average reflects a period of normal operation.
    (iii) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unchanging data 
during periods of normal operation, except in circumstances where the 
presence of unchanging data is the expected operating condition based on 
past experience (e.g., pH in some scrubbers), and will alert the 
operator by alarm or other means. The owner or operator shall record the 
occurrence. All instances of the alarm or other alert in an operating 
day constitute a single occurrence.
    (iv) The monitoring system will alert the owner or operator by an 
alarm or other means, if the running average parameter value calculated 
under paragraph (h)(1)(ii) of this section reaches a set point that is 
appropriately related to the established limit for the parameter that is 
being monitored.
    (v) The owner or operator shall verify the proper functioning of the 
monitoring system, including its ability to comply with the requirements 
of paragraph (h)(1) of this section, at the times specified in 
paragraphs (h)(1)(v)(A) through (h)(1)(v)(C) of this section. The owner 
or operator shall document that the required verifications occurred.
    (A) Upon initial installation.

[[Page 722]]

    (B) Annually after initial installation.
    (C) After any change to the programming or equipment constituting 
the monitoring system, which might reasonably be expected to alter the 
monitoring system's ability to comply with the requirements of this 
section.
    (vi) The owner or operator shall retain the records identified in 
paragraphs (h)(1)(vi)(A) through (h)(1)(vi)(D) of this section.
    (A) Identification of each parameter, for each item of equipment, 
for which the owner or operator has elected to comply with the 
requirements of paragraph (h) of this section.
    (B) A description of the applicable monitoring system(s), and how 
compliance will be achieved with each requirement of paragraphs 
(h)(1)(i) through (h)(1)(v) of this section. The description shall 
identify the location and format (e.g., on-line storage, log entries) 
for each required record. If the description changes, the owner or 
operator shall retain both the current and the most recent superseded 
description. The description, and the most recent superseded 
description, shall be retained as provided in paragraph (a) of this 
section, except as provided in paragraph (h)(1)(vi)(D) of this section.
    (C) A description, and the date, of any change to the monitoring 
system that would reasonably be expected to impair its ability to comply 
with the requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of this section.
    (D) Owners and operators subject to paragraph (h)(1)(vi)(B) of this 
section shall retain the current description of the monitoring system as 
long as the description is current. The current description shall, at 
all times, be retained on-site or be accessible from a central location 
by computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours after a 
request. The owner or operator shall retain all superseded descriptions 
for at least 5 years after the date of their creation. Superseded 
descriptions shall be retained on-site (or accessible from a central 
location by computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours 
after a request) for at least 6 months after their creation. Thereafter, 
superseded descriptions may be stored off-site.
    (2) If an owner or operator has elected to implement the 
requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of this section for a monitored 
parameter with respect to an item of equipment and a period of 6 
consecutive months has passed without an excursion as defined in 
paragraph (h)(2)(iv) of this section, the owner or operator is no longer 
required to record the daily average or batch cycle daily average value, 
for any operating day when the daily average or batch cycle daily 
average value is less than the maximum, or greater than the minimum 
established limit. With approval by the Administrator, monitoring data 
generated prior to the compliance date of this subpart shall be credited 
toward the period of 6 consecutive months, if the parameter limit and 
the monitoring accomplished during the period prior to the compliance 
date was required and/or approved by the Administrator.
    (i) If the owner or operator elects not to retain the daily average 
or batch cycle daily average values, the owner or operator shall notify 
the Administrator in the next Periodic Report as specified in paragraph 
(e)(6)(x) of this section. The notification shall identify the parameter 
and unit of equipment.
    (ii) If, on any operating day after the owner or operator has ceased 
recording daily average or batch cycle daily average values as provided 
in paragraph (h)(2) of this section, there is an excursion as defined in 
paragraph (h)(2)(iv) of this section, the owner or operator shall 
immediately resume retaining the daily average or batch cycle daily 
average value for each operating day and shall notify the Administrator 
in the next Periodic Report. The owner or operator shall continue to 
retain each daily average or batch cycle daily average value until 
another period of 6 consecutive months has passed without an excursion 
as defined in paragraph (h)(2)(iv) of this section.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall retain the records specified in 
paragraphs (h)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section, for the duration 
specified in paragraph (h) of this section. For any calendar week, if 
compliance with paragraphs (h)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section does 
not result in retention of a record of at least one occurrence or 
measured parameter

[[Page 723]]

value, the owner or operator shall record and retain at least one 
parameter value during a period of normal operation.
    (iv) For the purposes of paragraph (h) of this section, an excursion 
means that the daily average or batch cycle daily average value of 
monitoring data for a parameter is greater than the maximum, or less 
than the minimum established value, except as provided in paragraphs 
(h)(2)(iv)(A) and (h)(2)(iv)(B) of this section.
    (A) [Reserved]
    (B) An excused excursion, as described in Sec.  63.505(i), shall not 
be considered an excursion for the purposes of paragraph (h)(2) of this 
section.
    (i)(1) As of January 1, 2012, and within 60 days after the date of 
completing each performance test, as defined in Sec.  63.2 and as 
required in this subpart, you must submit performance test data, except 
opacity data, electronically to EPA's Central Data Exchange by using the 
Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) (see http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/
ert tool.html/) or other compatible electronic spreadsheet. Only data 
collected using test methods compatible with ERT are subject to this 
requirement to be submitted electronically into EPA's WebFIRE database.
    (2) All reports required by this subpart not subject to the 
requirements in paragraphs (i)(1) of this section must be sent to the 
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  63.13. If

Subpart V [Reserved]



 Subpart W_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
       Epoxy Resins Production and Non-Nylon Polyamides Production

    Source: 60 FR 12676, Mar. 8, 1995, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.  63.520  Applicability and designation of sources.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to all existing, new, and 
reconstructed manufacturers of basic liquid epoxy resins (BLR) and 
manufacturers of wet strength resins (WSR) that are located at a plant 
site that is a major source, as defined in section 112(a) of the Clean 
Air Act. Research and development facilities, as defined in Sec.  
63.522, are exempt from the provisions of this subpart. The affected 
source is also defined in Sec.  63.522. If a change occurs to an 
existing source that does not constitute reconstruction then the 
additions have to meet the existing source requirements of the MACT 
standards. Any reconstruction of an existing source, or construction of 
a new source, must meet the new source standard. Affected sources are 
also subject to certain requirements of subpart A of this part, as 
specified in Table 1 of this subpart.



Sec.  63.521  Compliance schedule.

    (a) Owners or operators of existing affected BLR and WSR sources 
shall comply with the applicable provisions of this subpart within 3 
years of the promulgation date.
    (b) New and reconstructed sources subject to this subpart shall be 
in compliance with the applicable provisions of this subpart upon 
startup.

[[Page 734]]



Sec.  63.522  Definitions.

    Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Act, in subpart A of 
this part, or in this section as follows:
    Administrator means the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, or any official designee of the Administrator.
    Affected source means all HAP emission points within a facility that 
are related to the production of BLR or WSR, including process vents, 
storage tanks, wastewater systems, and equipment leaks.
    Basic liquid epoxy resins (BLR) means resins made by reacting 
epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A to form diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A 
(DGEBPA).
    Batch emission episode means a discrete venting episode that may be 
associated with a single unit operation. For example, a displacement of 
vapor resulting from the charging of a vessel with HAP will result in a 
discrete emission episode that will last through the duration of the 
charge and will have an average flow rate equal to the rate of the 
charge. If the vessel is then heated, there will also be another 
discrete emission episode resulting from the expulsion of expanded 
vessel vapor space. Both emission episodes may occur in the same vessel 
or unit operation. There are possibly other emission episodes that may 
occur from the vessel or other process equipment, depending on process 
operations.
    Batch process refers to a discontinuous process involving the bulk 
movement of material through sequential manufacturing steps. Mass, 
temperature, concentration, and other properties of a system vary with 
time. Addition of raw material and withdrawal of product do not 
typically occur simultaneously in a batch process.
    Closed-vent system means a system that is not open to the atmosphere 
and is composed of piping, ductwork, connections, and, if necessary, 
flow-inducing devices that transport gas or vapor from an emission point 
to a control device or back into the process.
    Continuous process means a process where the inputs and outputs flow 
continuously throughout the duration of the process. Continuous 
processes are typically steady-state.
    Drain system means the system used to convey wastewater streams from 
a process unit, product storage tank, or feed storage tank to a waste 
management unit. The term includes all process drains and junction 
boxes, together with their associated sewer lines and other junction 
boxes, manholes, sumps, and lift stations, down to the receiving waste 
management unit. A segregated stormwater sewer system, which is a drain 
and collection system designed and operated for the sole purpose of 
collecting rainfall-runoff at a facility, and which is segregated from 
all other drain systems, is excluded from this definition.
    Equipment leaks means emissions of hazardous air pollutants from a 
connector, pump, compressor, agitator, pressure relief device, sampling 
connection system, open-ended valve or line, or instrumentation system 
in organic hazardous air pollutant service.
    Process vent means a point of emission from a unit operation. 
Typical process vents include condenser vents, vacuum pumps, steam 
ejectors, and atmospheric vents from reactors and other process vessels.
    Production-based emission rate means a ratio of the amount of HAP 
emitted to the amount of BLR or WSR produced.
    Research and development facility means laboratory operations whose 
primary purpose is to conduct research and development into new 
processes and products, where the operations are under the close 
supervision of technically trained personnel, and is not engaged in the 
manufacture of products for commercial sale, except in a de minimis 
manner.
    Storage tank means a tank or other vessel that is used to store 
liquids that contain one or more HAP compounds.
    Unit operation means those processing steps that occur within 
distinct equipment that are used, among other things, to prepare 
reactants, facilitate reactions, separate and purify products, and 
recycle materials. There may be several emission episodes within a 
single unit operation.
    Waste management unit means any component, piece of equipment, 
structure, or transport mechanism used in

[[Page 735]]

storing, treating, or disposing of wastewater streams, or conveying 
wastewater between storage, treatment, or disposal operations.
    Wastewater means aqueous liquid waste streams exiting equipment at 
an affected source.
    Wastewater system means a system made up of a drain system and one 
or more waste management units.
    Wet strength resins (WSR) means polyamide/ epichlorohydrin 
condensates which are used to increase the tensile strength of paper 
products.

Sec.  63.523  Standards for basic liquid resins manufacturers.

    (a) Owners or operators of existing affected BLR sources shall 
operate sources such that the rate of emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants from all process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater systems 
combined shall not exceed 130 pounds per 1 million pounds of BLR 
produced.
    (b) Owners or operators of new or reconstructed affected BLR sources 
shall reduce uncontrolled emissions from the sum of uncontrolled process 
vents, storage tanks, and wastewater systems by 98 percent, or limit the 
total emissions from these emission points to 5,000 pounds per year.
    (1) For process vents, uncontrolled emissions are defined as gaseous 
emission streams past the last recovery device.
    (2) For storage tanks, uncontrolled emissions are defined as 
emissions calculated according to the methodology specified in Sec.  
63.150(g)(3).
    (3) For wastewater systems, uncontrolled emissions are the total 
amount of HAP discharged to the drain system.
    (c) Owners or operators of existing, new, or reconstructed affected 
BLR sources shall comply with the requirements of subpart H of this part 
to control emissions from equipment leaks.



Sec.  63.524  Standards for wet strength resins manufacturers.

    (a) Owners or operators of existing affected WSR sources shall 
either:
    (1) Limit the total emissions of hazardous air pollutants from all 
process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater systems to 10 pounds per 1 
million pounds of wet strength resins produced; or
    (2) Comply with the requirements of subpart H of this part to 
control emissions from equipment leaks.
    (b) Owners or operators of new or reconstructed affected WSR sources 
shall either:
    (1) Limit the total emissions of hazardous air pollutants from all 
process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater systems to 7 pounds per 1 
million pounds of wet strength resins produced; or
    (2) Comply with the requirements of subpart H of this part to 
control emissions from equipment leaks.



Sec.  63.525  Compliance and performance testing.

    (a) The owner or operator of any existing affected BLR source shall, 
in order to demonstrate initial compliance with the applicable emission 
limit, determine the emission rate from all process vent, storage tank, 
and wastewater system emission points using the methods described below. 
Compliance tests shall be performed under normal operating conditions.
    (1) The owner or operator shall use the EPA Test Methods from 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A, listed in paragraphs (a)(1) (i) through (iii) of 
this section, to determine emissions from process vents. Testing of 
process vents on equipment operating as part of a continuous process 
will consist of conducting three 1-hour runs. Gas stream volumetric flow 
rates shall be measured every 15 minutes during each 1-hour run. Organic 
HAP or TOC concentration shall be determined from samples collected in 
an integrated sample over the duration of each 1-hour test run, or from 
grab samples collected simultaneously with the flow rate measurements 
(every 15 minutes). If an integrated sample is collected for laboratory 
analysis, the sampling rate shall be adjusted proportionally to reflect 
variations in flow rate. If the flow of gaseous emissions is 
intermittent, determination of emissions from process vents shall be 
performed according to the methods specified in paragraph (e) of this 
section. For process vents

[[Page 736]]

with continuous gas streams, the emission rate used to determine 
compliance shall be the average emission rate of the 3 test runs. For 
process vents with intermittent emission streams, the calculated 
emission rate or the emission rate from a single test run may be used to 
determine compliance.
    (i) Method 1 or 1A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as appropriate, 
shall be used for selection of the sampling sites if the flow measuring 
device is a pitot tube. A traverse shall be conducted before and after 
each 1-hour sampling period. No traverse is necessary when using Method 
2A or 2D to determine flow rate.
    (ii) Method 2, 2A, 2C or 2D of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as 
appropriate, shall be used for the determination of gas stream 
volumetric flow rate. If Method 2 or 2C is used, the velocity 
measurements shall be made at a single point, in conjunction with the 
traverse, to establish an average velocity across the stack.
    (iii) Method 25A and/or Methods 18 and 25A of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A, as appropriate, shall be used to determine the concentration 
of HAP in the streams.
    (iv) Initial determination of de minimis status for process vents 
may be made by engineering assessment, as specified in Sec.  
63.526(a)(1)(iv).
    (2) Emissions from wastewater treatment systems shall be determined 
in accordance with the methods described in 40 CFR part 63, appendix C.
    (3) Emissions from storage tanks shall be calculated in accordance 
with the methods specified in Sec.  63.150(g)(3).
    (b) The owner or operator of any existing affected BLR source shall 
determine a production-based emission rate for each emission point by 
dividing the emission rate of each emission point by the BLR production 
rate of the source. The production rate shall be based on normal 
operations.
    (1) The production-based emission rate for process vents shall be 
calculated by dividing the average emission rate the average production 
rate.
    (2) The production-based emission rate for storage tanks shall be 
calculated by dividing annual emissions for each storage tank emission 
point by the production rate for a one-year period. The production rate 
shall be calculated using the same data used to calculate the 
production-based emission rate in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, 
converted to an annual rate.
    (3) The production-based emission rate for wastewater systems shall 
be calculated by dividing annual emissions for each wastewater system 
emission point by the production rate for one-year period. The 
production rate shall be calculated using the same data used to 
calculate the production-based emission rate in paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section, converted to an annual rate.
    (c) The owner or operator of an existing affected BLR source shall 
calculate the total emissions per product produced by summing the 
production-based emissions for all process vent, storage tank, and 
wastewater system emission points according to the following equation:

E=[Sigma] PV + [Sigma] ST + [Sigma] WW

where:

E = emissions, pounds (lb) HAP per million (MM) lb product;
PV = process vent emissions, lb HAP/MM lb product;
ST = storage tank emissions, lb HAP/MM lb product; and
WW = wastewater system emissions, lb HAP/MM lb product.

    The source is in compliance with the standard for process vents, 
storage tanks, and wastewater systems if the sum of the equation is less 
than the applicable emission limit from Sec.  63.523(a).
    (d) The owner or operator of any new or reconstructed affected BLR 
source shall demonstrate compliance using the methods described in this 
section.
    (1) Any owner or operator who elects to comply with Sec.  63.523(b) 
by achieving 98 percent control of emissions from process vents, storage 
tanks, and wastewater systems shall demonstrate compliance according to 
the requirements of paragraphs (d)(1) (i) through (iv) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator shall perform testing as specified in 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section to determine controlled and 
uncontrolled emissions from process vents. Sampling points for 
determining uncontrolled emissions shall be located based on the 
definition of uncontrolled process vents in Sec.  63.523(b)(1).

[[Page 737]]

    (ii) The owner or operator shall calculate controlled and 
uncontrolled emissions from storage tanks in accordance with the methods 
specified in Sec.  63.150(g)(3).
    (iii) The owner or operator shall determine controlled and 
uncontrolled emissions from wastewater systems using the methodology of 
40 CFR part 63, appendix C. Uncontrolled emission calculations shall be 
consistent with the definition of uncontrolled wastewater system 
emissions in Sec.  63.523(b)(3).
    (iv) The owner or operator shall calculate the percent reduction in 
emissions from process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater systems 
combined. The affected source is in compliance if the emission reduction 
is greater than or equal to 98 percent.
    (2) Any owner or operator who elects to comply with Sec.  63.523(b) 
by limiting HAP emissions from process vents, storage tanks, and 
wastewater systems to 5,000 pounds per year or less shall demonstrate 
compliance according to the requirements of paragraphs (d)(2) (i) and 
(ii) of this section.
    (i) Emissions from process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater 
systems shall be determined according to paragraphs (a) (1) through (3) 
of this section. Emissions shall be converted to annual emissions. 
Annual emission calculations shall reflect production levels 
representative of normal operating conditions.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall calculate total emissions from all 
process vent, storage tank, and wastewater system emission points. The 
affected source is in compliance with the standard if total emissions 
are less than or equal to 5,000 lb/yr.
    (e) The owner or operator of any existing, new, or reconstructed WSR 
source that chooses to comply with the emission limit for process vents, 
storage tanks, and wastewater systems shall demonstrate initial 
compliance by determining emissions for all process vent, storage tank, 
and wastewater systems emission points using the methods described in 
this section.
    (1) Emissions of HAP reactor process vents shall be calculated for 
each batch emission episode according to the methodologies described in 
paragraph (e)(1) of this section.
    (i) Emissions from vapor displacement due to transfer of material 
into or out of the reactor shall be calculated according to the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR08MR95.002

where:

E = mass emission rate;
yi = saturated mole fraction of HAP in the vapor phase;
V = volume of gas displaced from the vessel;
R = ideal gas law constant;
T = temperature of the vessel vapor space; absolute;
PT = pressure of the vessel vapor space; and
MW = molecular weight of the HAP.

    (ii) Emissions from reactor purging shall be calculated using the 
methodology described in paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this section, except 
that for purge flow rates greater than 100 standard cubic feet per 
minute (scfm), the mole fraction of HAP will be assumed to be 25 percent 
of the saturated value.
    (iii) Emissions caused by heating of the reactor vessel shall be 
calculated according to the following methodology:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR08MR95.003

where:

E = mass of HAP vapor displaced from the vessel being heated up;
(Pi)Tn = partial pressure of each HAP in the 
          vessel headspace at initial (n = 1) and final (n = 2) 
          temperature;
Pa1 = initial gas pressure in the vessel;

[[Page 738]]

Pa2 = final gas pressure; and
MWHAP = the average molecular weight of HAP present in the 
          vessel.

    The moles of gas displaced is represented by:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR08MR95.004
    
where:

[Delta][eta] = number of lb-moles of gas displaced;
V = volume of free space in the vessel;
R = ideal gas law constant;
Pa1 = initial gas pressure in the vessel;
Pa2 = final gas pressure;
T1 = initial temperature of vessel; and
T2 = final temperature of vessel.

    The initial pressure of the noncondensable gas in the vessel shall 
be calculated according to the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR08MR95.005

where:

Pa1 = initial partial pressure of gas in the vessel 
          headspace;
Patm = atmospheric pressure; and
(Pic)T1 = initial partial pressure of each 
          condensable volatile organic compound (including HAP) in the 
          vessel headspace, at the initial temperature (T1).

    The average molecular weight of HAP in the displaced gas shall be 
calculated as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR08MR95.006

where n is the number of different HAP compounds in the emission stream.

    (2) Emissions of HAP from process vents may be measured directly. 
The EPA Test Methods listed in paragraph (e)(2) (i) through (iii) of 
this section, from 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, shall be used to 
demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Sec.  63.524 by direct 
measurement. Testing shall be performed for every batch emission episode 
of the unit operation. Gas stream volumetric flow rates shall be 
measured at 15-minute intervals, or at least once during each batch 
emission episode. Organic HAP or TOC concentration shall be determined 
from samples collected in an integrated sample over the duration of each 
episode, or from grab samples collected simultaneously with the flow 
rate measurements (every 15 minutes). If an integrated sample is 
collected for laboratory analysis, the sampling rate shall be adjusted 
proportionally to reflect variations in flow rate. Test conditions shall 
represent the normal operating conditions under which the data used to 
calculate the production rate are taken.
    (i) Method 1 or 1A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as appropriate, 
shall be used for selection of the sampling sites if the flow measuring 
device is a pitot tube. A traverse shall be conducted before and after 
each sampling period. No traverse is necessary when using Method 2A or 
2D.
    (ii) Method 2,2A, 2C or 2D of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as 
appropriate, shall be used for the determination of gas stream 
volumetric flow rate. If Method 2 or 2C is used, the velocity 
measurements shall be made at a single point than can be used, in 
conjunction with the traverse, to establish an average velocity across 
the stack.
    (iii) Method 25A and/or Methods 18 and 25A of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A, as appropriate, shall be used to determine the concentration 
of HAP in the streams.
    (iv) The owner or operator may choose to perform tests only during 
those periods of the episode in which the emission rate for the entire 
episode can be determined, or when the emissions are greater than the 
average emission rate of the episode. The owner or operator who chooses 
either of these options must develop an emission profile for the entire 
batch emission episode, based on either process knowledge or test data 
collected, to demonstrate that test periods are representative. Examples 
of information that could constitute process knowledge include 
calculations based on material balances, and process stoichiometry. 
Previous test results may be used provided the results are still 
relevant to the current process vent stream conditions.
    (v) For batch emission episodes of duration greater than 8 hours, 
the owner

[[Page 739]]

or operator is required to perform a maximum of 8 hours of testing. The 
test period must include the period of time in which the emission rate 
is predicted by the emission profile to be greater than average emission 
rate for the batch emission episode.
    (f) The owner or operator of any affected WSR source that chooses to 
comply with the emissions limit for process vents, storage tanks, and 
wastewater systems shall calculate emissions from storage tanks in 
accordance with the methods specified in Sec.  63.150(g)(3).
    (g) The owner or operator of any affected WSR source that chooses to 
comply with the emission limit for process vents, storage tanks, and 
wastewater systems shall calculate emissions from wastewater treatment 
systems (if applicable) in accordance with the methods described in 40 
CFR part 63, appendix C.
    (h) The owner or operator of any affected WSR source that chooses to 
comply with the emission limit for process vents, storage tanks, and 
wastewater systems shall calculate the average amount of WSR product 
manufactured per batch, using data from performance tests or from 
emission calculations, as applicable, to determine the average WSR 
production per-batch production data for an annual period representing 
normal operating conditions.
    (1) The owner or operator shall calculate an average emission rate 
per batch as the average of the results from the performance tests or 
calculations. The production-based emission rate shall be calculated by 
dividing the emissions per batch by the average production per batch.
    (2) Compliance shall be determined according to the methodology 
described in paragraph (c) of this section. The source is in compliance 
with the standard for process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater 
systems if the sum of the equation in paragraph (c) of this section is 
less than the applicable emission limit from Sec.  63.524.
    (i) The owner or operator of any affected BLR source or any affected 
WSR source that chooses to comply with the requirements of subpart H of 
this part must demonstrate the ability of its specific program to meet 
the compliance requirements therein to achieve initial compliance.



Sec.  63.526  Monitoring requirements.

    (a) The owner or operator of any existing, new, or reconstructed 
affected BLR source shall provide evidence of continued compliance with 
the standard. During the initial compliance demonstration, maximum or 
minimum operating parameters, as appropriate, shall be established for 
processes and control devices that will indicate the source is in 
compliance. If the operating parameter to be established is a maximum, 
the value of the parameter shall be the average of the maximum values 
from each of the three test runs. If the operating parameter to be 
established is a minimum, the value of the parameter shall be the 
average of the minimum values from each of the three test runs. 
Parameter values for process vents with intermittent emission streams 
shall be determined as specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. 
The owner or operator shall operate processes and control devices within 
these parameters to ensure continued compliance with the standard. A de 
minimis level is specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. 
Monitoring parameters are specified for various process vent control 
scenarios in paragraphs (a) (2) through (6) of this section.
    (1) For affected BLR sources, uncontrolled emission points emitting 
less than one pound per year of HAP are not subject to the monitoring 
requirements of paragraphs (a) (2) through (6) of this section. The 
owner or operator shall use the methods specified in Sec.  63.525(a), as 
applicable, or as specified in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, to 
demonstrate which emission points satisfy the de minimis criteria, to 
the satisfaction of the Administrator.
    (i) For the purpose of determining de minimis status for emission 
points, engineering assessment may be used to determine process vent 
stream flow rate and/or concentration for the representative operating 
conditions expected to yield the highest flow rate and concentration. 
Engineering assessment includes, but is not limited to, the following:

[[Page 740]]

    (A) Previous test results provided the tests are representative of 
current operating practices at the process unit.
    (B) Bench-scale or pilot-scale test data representative of the 
process under representative operating conditions.
    (C) Maximum flow rate, HAP emission rate, concentration, or other 
relevant parameter specified or implied within a permit limit applicable 
to the process vent.
    (D) Design analysis based on accepted chemical engineering 
principles, measurable process parameters, or physical or chemical laws 
or properties. Examples of analytical methods include, but are not 
limited to:
    (1) Use of material balances based on process stoichiometry to 
estimate maximum organic HAP concentrations,
    (2) Estimation of maximum flow rate based on physical equipment 
design such as pump or blower capacities,
    (3) Estimation of HAP concentrations based on saturation conditions.
    (ii) All data, assumptions, and procedures used in the engineering 
assessment shall be documented in accordance with Sec.  63.527(c).
    (2) For affected sources using water scrubbers, the owner or 
operator shall establish a minimum scrubber water flow rate as a site-
specific operating parameter which must be measured and recorded every 
15 minutes. The affected source will be considered to be out of 
compliance if the scrubber water flow rate, averaged over any continuous 
24-hour period, is below the minimum value established during the 
initial compliance demonstration.
    (3) For affected sources using condensers, the owner or operator 
shall establish the maximum condenser outlet gas temperature as a site-
specific operating parameter which must be measured and recorded every 
15 minutes. The affected source will be considered to be out of 
compliance if the condenser outlet gas temperature, averaged over any 
continuous 24-hour period, is greater than the maximum value established 
during the initial compliance demonstration.
    (4) For affected sources using carbon adsorbers or having 
uncontrolled process vents, the owner or operator shall establish a 
maximum outlet HAP concentration as the site-specific operating 
parameter which must be measured and recorded every 15 minutes. The 
affected source will be considered to be out of compliance if the outlet 
HAP concentration, averaged over any continuous 24-hour period, is 
greater than the maximum value established during the initial compliance 
demonstration.
    (5) For affected sources using flares, the presence of the pilot 
flame shall be monitored every 15 minutes. The affected source will be 
considered to be out of compliance upon loss of pilot flame.
    (6) Wastewater system parameters to be monitored are the parameters 
specified under 40 CFR part 414, subpart E. The affected source will be 
considered to be out of compliance with this subpart W if it is found to 
be out of compliance with 40 CFR part 414, subpart E.
    (b) The owner or operator of any existing, new, or reconstructed 
affected WSR source that chooses to comply with the emission limit for 
process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater systems shall provide 
evidence of continued compliance with the standard. As part of the 
initial compliance demonstrations for batch process vents, test data or 
compliance calculations shall be used to establish a maximum or minimum 
level of a relevant operating parameter for each unit operation. The 
parameter value for each unit operation shall represent the worst case 
value of the operating parameter from all episodes in the unit 
operation. The owner or operator shall operate processes and control 
devices within these parameters to ensure continued compliance with the 
standard.
    (1) For batch process vents, the level shall be established in 
accordance with paragraphs (b)(1) (i) through (iv) of this section if 
compliance testing is performed.
    (i) If testing is used to demonstrate initial compliance, the 
appropriate parameter shall be monitored during all batch emission 
episodes in the unit operation.
    (ii) An average monitored parameter value shall be determined for 
each of the batch emission episodes in the unit operation.

[[Page 741]]

    (iii) If the level to be established for the unit operation is a 
maximum operating parameter, the level shall be defined as the minimum 
of the average parameter values determined in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of 
this section.
    (iv) If the level to be established for the unit operation is a 
minimum operating parameter, the level shall be defined as the maximum 
of the average parameter values determined in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of 
this section.
    (2) Affected sources with condensers on process vents shall 
establish the maximum condenser outlet gas temperature as a site-
specific operating parameter, which must be measured every 15 minutes, 
or at least once for batch emission episodes less than 15 minutes in 
duration. The affected source will be considered to be out of compliance 
if the maximum condenser outlet gas temperature, averaged over the 
duration of the batch emission episode or unit operation, is greater 
than the value established during the initial compliance demonstration.
    (3) For affected sources using water scrubbers, the owner or 
operator shall establish a minimum scrubber water flow rate as a site-
specific operating parameter which must be measured and recorded every 
15 minutes, or at least once for batch emission episodes less than 15 
minutes in duration. The affected source will be considered to be out of 
compliance if the scrubber water flow rate, averaged over the duration 
of the batch emission episode or unit operation, is below the minimum 
flow rate established during the initial compliance demonstration.
    (4) For affected sources using carbon adsorbers or having 
uncontrolled process vents, the owner or operator shall establish a 
maximum outlet HAP concentration as the site-specific operating 
parameter which must be measured and recorded every 15 minutes, or at 
least once for batch emission episodes of duration shorter than 15 
minutes. The affected source will be considered to be out of compliance 
if the outlet HAP concentration, averaged over the duration of the batch 
emission episode or unit operation, is greater than the value 
established during the initial compliance demonstration.
    (5) For affected sources using flares, the presence of the pilot 
flame shall be monitored every 15 minutes, or at least once for batch 
emission episodes less than 15 minutes in duration. The affected source 
will be considered to be out of compliance upon loss of pilot flame.
    (6) Wastewater system parameters to be monitored are the parameters 
specified by 40 CFR part 414, subpart E. The affected source will be 
considered to be out of compliance with this subpart W if it is found to 
be out of compliance with 40 CFR part 414, subpart E.
    (c) Periods of time when monitoring measurements exceed the 
parameter values do not constitute a violation if they occur during a 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction, and the facility is operated in 
accordance with Sec.  63.6(e)(1).
    (d) The owner or operator of any affected WSR source that chooses to 
comply with the requirements of subpart H of this part shall meet the 
monitoring requirements of subpart H of this part.

the requirements of 40 CFR 63.10(b)(1).
    (e) Any excursion from the required monitoring parameter, unless 
otherwise excused, shall be considered a violation of the emission 
standard.



Sec.  63.528  Reporting requirements.

    (a) The owner or operator of any affected BLR source, as well as the 
owner or operator of any affected WSR source that elects to comply with 
the emission limit for process vents, storage tanks, and wastewater 
systems, shall comply with the reporting requirements of applicable 
paragraphs of Sec.  63.10 of subpart A of this part, as specified in the 
General Provisions applicability table in this subpart. The owner or 
operator shall also submit to the Administrator, as part of the 
quarterly excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance 
report and summary report required by Sec.  63.10(e)(3) of subpart A of 
this part, the following recorded information.
    (1) Reports of monitoring data, including 15-minute monitoring 
values as well as daily average values or per-unit operation average 
values, as applicable, of monitored parameters for all operating days or 
unit operations when the average values were outside the ranges 
established in the Notification of Compliance Status or operating 
permit.
    (2) Reports of the duration of periods when monitoring data is not 
collected for each excursion caused by insufficient monitoring data. An 
excursion means any of the three cases listed in paragraph (a)(2)(i) or 
(a)(2)(ii) of this section. For a control device where multiple 
parameters are monitored, if one or more of the parameters meets the 
excursion criteria in paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (a)(2)(ii) of this section, 
this is considered a single excursion for the control device.
    (i) When the period of control device operation is 4 hours or 
greater in an operating day and monitoring data are insufficient to 
constitute a valid hour

[[Page 743]]

of data, as defined in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section, for at 
least 75 percent of the operating hours.
    (ii) When the period of control device operation is less than 4 
hours in an operating day and more than one of the hours during the

Sec.  63.543  What are my standards for process vents?

    (a) For existing sources, you must maintain the concentration of 
lead compounds in any process vent gas at or below 1.0 milligrams of 
lead per dry standard cubic meter (0.00043 grains of lead per dry 
standard cubic foot). You must maintain the flow-weighted average 
concentration of lead compounds in vent gases from a secondary lead 
smelting facility at or below 0.20 milligrams of lead per dry standard 
cubic meter (0.000087 grains of lead per dry standard cubic foot).
    (1) You must demonstrate compliance with the flow weighted average 
emissions limit on a 12-month rolling

[[Page 750]]

average basis, calculated monthly using the most recent test data 
available.
    (2) Until 12 monthly weighted average emissions rates have been 
accumulated, calculate only the monthly average weighted emissions rate.
    (3) You must use Equation 1 of this section to calculate the flow-
weighted average concentration of lead compounds from process vents:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR05JA12.000

Where:

CFWA = Flow-weighted average concentration of all process 
          vents.
n = Number of process vents.
Fi = Flow rate from process vent i in dry standard cubic feet 
          per minute, as measured during the most recent compliance 
          test.
Ci = Concentration of lead in process vent i, as measured 
          during the most recent compliance test.

    (4) Each month, you must use the concentration of lead and flow rate 
obtained during the most recent compliance test performed prior to or 
during that month to perform the calculation using Equation 1 of this 
section.
    (5) If a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) is used to 
measure the concentration of lead in a vent, the monthly average lead 
concentration and monthly average flow rate must be used rather than the 
most recent compliance test data.
    (b) For new sources that begin construction or reconstruction after 
May 19, 2011 you must maintain the concentration of lead compounds in 
any process vent gas at or below 0.20 milligrams of lead per dry 
standard cubic meter (0.000087 grains of lead per dry standard cubic 
foot).
    (c) You must meet the applicable emissions limits for total 
hydrocarbons and dioxins and furans from furnace sources specified in 
Table 2 of this subpart. There are no standards for dioxins and furans 
during periods of startup and shutdown.
    (d) If you combine furnace emissions from multiple types of furnaces 
and these furnaces do not meet the definition of collocated blast and 
reverberatory furnaces, you must calculate your emissions limit for the 
combined furnace stream using Equation 2 of this section.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR05JA12.001

Where:
CEL = Flow-weighted average emissions limit (concentration) 
          of combined furnace vents.

[[Page 751]]

n = Number of furnace vents.
Fi = Flow rate from furnace vent i in dry standard cubic feet 
          per minute.
CEli = Emissions limit (concentration) of pollutant in 
          furnace vent i as specified in Table 2 of this subpart.

    (e) If you combine furnace emissions with the furnace charging 
process fugitive emissions and discharge them to the atmosphere through 
a common emissions point, you must demonstrate compliance with the 
applicable total hydrocarbons concentration limit specified in paragraph 
(c) of this section at a location downstream from the point at which the 
two emissions streams are combined.
    (f) If you do not combine the furnace charging process fugitive 
emissions with the furnace process emissions, and discharge such 
emissions to the atmosphere through separate emissions points, you must 
maintain the total hydrocarbons concentration in the exhaust gas at or 
below 20 parts per million by volume, expressed as propane.
    (g) Following the initial performance or compliance test to 
demonstrate compliance with the lead emissions limits specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, you must conduct performance tests 
according to the schedule in paragraph (g)(1) or (2) of this section.
    (1) Conduct an annual performance test for lead compounds from each 
process vent (no later than 12 calendar months following the previous 
compliance test), unless you install and operate a CEMS meeting the 
requirements of Sec.  63.8.
    (2) If an annual compliance test demonstrates that a process vent 
emitted lead compounds at 0.10 milligram of lead per dry standard cubic 
meter or less during the time of the annual compliance test, you may 
submit a written request to the Administrator applying for an extension 
of up to 24 calendar months from the previous compliance test to conduct 
the next compliance test for lead compounds.
    (h) Following the initial performance or compliance test to 
demonstrate compliance with the total hydrocarbons emissions limits in 
paragraphs (c) and (f) of this section, you must conduct an annual 
performance test for total hydrocarbons emissions from each process vent 
that has established limits for total hydrocarbons (no later than 12 
calendar months following the previous compliance test), unless you 
install and operate a CEMS meeting the requirements of Sec.  63.8. If an 
annual compliance test demonstrates that a process vent emitted total 
hydrocarbons at less than 50 percent of the allowable limit during the 
time of the annual compliance test, you may submit a written request to 
the Administrator applying for an extension of up to 24 calendar months 
from the previous compliance test to conduct the next compliance test 
for total hydrocarbons.
    (i) Following the initial performance or compliance test to 
demonstrate compliance with the dioxins and furans emissions limits 
specified in paragraph (c) of this section, you must conduct a 
performance test for dioxins and furans emissions from each process vent 
that has established limits for dioxins and furans at least once every 6 
years following the previous compliance test.
    (j) You must conduct the performance tests specified in paragraphs 
(g) through (i) of this section under maximum representative operating 
conditions for the process. During the performance test, you may operate 
the control device at maximum or minimum representative operating 
conditions for monitored control device parameters, whichever results in 
lower emission reduction. Upon request, you must make available to the 
Administrator such records as may be necessary to determine the 
conditions of performance tests.
    (k) At all times, you must operate and maintain any affected source, 
including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring 
equipment, in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution 
control practices for minimizing emissions. Determination of whether 
such operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be based 
on information available to the Administrator that may include, but is 
not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance 
procedures, review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection 
of the source.

[[Page 752]]

    (l) If you own or operate a unit subject to emission limits in Table 
2 of this subpart, you must minimize the unit's startup and shutdown 
periods following the manufacturer's recommended procedures, if 
available. You must develop and follow standard operating procedures 
designed to minimize emissions of total hydrocarbon for each startup or 
shutdown scenario anticipated. You must submit a signed statement in the 
Notification of Compliance Status report that indicates that you 
conducted startups and shutdowns according to the manufacturer's 
recommended procedures, if available, and the standard operating

Sec.  63.545  What are my standards for fugitive dust sources?

    (a) You must prepare, and at all times operate according to, a 
standard operating procedures manual that describes in detail the 
measures that will be put in place and implemented to control the 
fugitive dust emissions from the sources listed in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (7) of this section.
    (1) Plant roadways.
    (2) Plant buildings.
    (3) Accidental releases.
    (4) Battery storage area.
    (5) Equipment maintenance.
    (6) Material storage areas.
    (7) Material handling areas.
    (b) You must submit the standard operating procedures manual to the 
Administrator or delegated authority for review and approval when 
initially developed and any time changes are made.
    (c) The controls specified in the standard operating procedures 
manual must at a minimum include the requirements specified in 
paragraphs (c)(1) through (7) of this section.
    (1) Cleaning. Where a cleaning practice is specified, you must clean 
by wet wash or a vacuum equipped with a filter rated by the manufacturer 
to achieve 99.97 percent capture efficiency for 0.3 micron particles in 
a manner that does not generate fugitive lead dust.
    (2) Plant roadways and paved areas. You must pave all areas subject 
to vehicle traffic and you must clean the pavement twice per day, except 
on days when natural precipitation makes cleaning unnecessary or when 
sand or a similar material has been spread on plant roadways to provide 
traction on ice or snow. Limited access and limited use roadways such as 
unpaved roads to remote locations on the property may be exempt from 
this requirement if they are used infrequently (no more than one round 
trip per day).
    (3) Accidental releases. You must initiate cleaning of all affected 
areas within one hour after detection of any accidental release of lead 
dust that exceeds 10 pounds (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) reportable quantity for lead at 
40 CFR 302.4).
    (4) Battery storage areas. You must inspect any batteries that are 
not stored in a total enclosure once each week and move any broken 
batteries to an enclosure within 72 hours of identification. You must 
clean residue from broken batteries within 72 hours of identification.
    (5) Materials storage and handling areas. You must wash each vehicle 
at each exit of the material storage and handling areas. The vehicle 
wash must include washing of tires, undercarriage and exterior surface 
of the vehicle followed by vehicle inspection.
    (6) Equipment maintenance. You must perform all maintenance 
activities that could generate lead dust in a manner that minimizes 
emissions of fugitive dust. This must include one or more of the 
following:
    (i) Performing maintenance inside a total permanent enclosure 
maintained at negative pressure.
    (ii) Performing maintenance inside a temporary enclosure and use a 
vacuum system either equipped with a filter rated by the manufacturer to 
achieve a capture efficiency of 99.97 percent for 0.3 micron particles 
or routed to an existing control device permitted for this activity.
    (iii) Performing maintenance inside a partial enclosure and use of 
wet suppression sufficient to prevent dust formation.
    (iv) Decontamination of equipment prior to removal from an 
enclosure.
    (v) Immediate repair of ductwork or structure leaks without an 
enclosure if the time to construct a temporary enclosure would exceed 
the time to make a temporary or permanent repair, or if construction of 
an enclosure would cause a higher level of emissions than if an 
enclosure were not constructed.
    (vi) Activities required for inspection of fabric filters and 
maintenance of filters that are in need of removal and replacement are 
not required to be conducted inside of total enclosures. Used fabric 
filters must be placed in sealed plastic bags or containers prior to 
removal from a baghouse.
    (7) Material transport. You must collect and transport all lead 
bearing dust (i.e. lead bearing material which is a dust) within closed 
conveyor systems

[[Page 754]]

or in sealed, leak-proof containers unless the collection and transport 
activities are contained within a total enclosure. All other lead 
bearing material must be contained and covered for transport outside of 
a total enclosure in a manner that prevents spillage or dust formation. 
Intact batteries and lead ingot product are exempt from the requirement 
to be covered for transport.
    (d) Your standard operating procedures manual must specify that 
records be maintained of all pavement cleaning, vehicle washing, and 
battery storage inspection activities performed to control fugitive dust 
emissions.
    (e) You must pave all grounds on the facility or plant groundcover 
sufficient to prevent wind-blown dust. You may use dust suppressants on 
unpaved areas that will not support a groundcover (e.g., roadway 
shoulders, steep slopes, limited access and limited use roadways).
    (f) As provided in Sec.  63.6(g), as an alternative to the 
requirements specified in this section, you can demonstrate to the 
Administrator (or delegated State, local, or Tribal authority) that an 
alternative measure(s) is equivalent or better than a practice(s) 
described in this section.

use the procedure described in Sec.  63.543(g)(1) to determine 
compliance.
    (3) Vents from control devices that serve only to control emissions 
from buildings containing lead bearing materials are exempt from the 
requirement to install a CEMS for measuring lead emissions.
    (m) If a CEMS is used to measure lead emissions, you must install a 
continuous emissions monitoring system with a sensor in a location that 
provides representative measurement of the exhaust gas flow rate at the 
sampling location of the CEMS used to measure lead emissions, taking 
into account the manufacturer's recommendations. The flow rate sensor is 
that portion of the system that senses the volumetric flow rate and 
generates an output proportional to that flow rate.
    (1) The continuous emissions monitoring system must be designed to 
measure the exhaust gas flow rate over a range that extends from a value 
of at least 20 percent less than the lowest expected exhaust flow rate 
to a value of at least 20 percent greater than the highest expected 
exhaust gas flow rate.
    (2) The continuous emissions monitoring system must be equipped with 
a data acquisition and recording system that is capable of recording 
values over the entire range specified in paragraph (m)(1) of this 
section.
    (3) You must perform an initial relative accuracy test of the 
continuous emissions monitoring system in accordance with the applicable 
Performance Specification in appendix B to part 60 of this chapter.
    (4) You must operate the continuous emissions monitoring system and 
record data during all periods of operation of the affected facility 
including periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, except for 
periods of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with 
monitoring system malfunctions, and required monitoring system quality 
assurance or quality control activities including, as applicable, 
calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments.
    (5) If you have a CEMS to measure lead emissions, you must calculate 
the average lead concentration and flow

[[Page 760]]

rate monthly to determine compliance with Sec.  63.543(a).
    (6) When the continuous emissions monitoring system is unable to 
provide quality assured data, the following apply:
    (i) When data are not available for periods of up to 48 hours, the 
highest recorded hourly emissions rate from the previous 24 hours must 
be used.
    (ii) When data are not available for 48 or more hours, the maximum 
daily emissions rate based on the previous 30 days must be used.

subpart.



Sec.  63.552  Affirmative defense to civil penalties for exceedance of
emissions limit during malfunction.

    In response to an action to enforce the standards set forth in this 
subpart, you may assert an affirmative defense to a claim for civil 
penalties for exceedances of such standards that are caused by 
malfunction, as defined at Sec.  63.2. Appropriate penalties may be 
assessed, however, if you fail to meet your burden of proving all of the 
requirements in the affirmative defense. The affirmative defense shall 
not be available for claims for injunctive relief.
    (a) Affirmative defense. To establish the affirmative defense in any 
action to enforce such a limit, you must timely meet the notification 
requirements in paragraph (b) of this section, and must prove by a 
preponderance of evidence that:
    (1) The excess emissions:
    (i) Were caused by a sudden, infrequent, and unavoidable failure of 
air pollution control and monitoring equipment, process equipment, or a 
process to operate in a normal or usual manner.
    (ii) Could not have been prevented through careful planning, proper 
design or better operation and maintenance practices.
    (iii) Did not stem from any activity or event that could have been 
foreseen and avoided, or planned for.
    (iv) Were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate 
design, operation, or maintenance.
    (2) Repairs were made as expeditiously as possible when the 
applicable emissions limitations were being exceeded. Off-shift and 
overtime labor were used, to the extent practicable to make these 
repairs.
    (3) The frequency, amount and duration of the excess emissions 
(including any bypass) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable 
during periods of such emissions.
    (4) If the excess emissions resulted from a bypass of control 
equipment or a process, then the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss 
of life, personal injury, or severe property damage.
    (5) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the 
excess emissions on ambient air quality, the environment and human 
health.
    (6) All emissions monitoring and control systems were kept in 
operation if at all possible, consistent with safety and good air 
pollution control practices.
    (7) All of the actions in response to the excess emissions were 
documented by properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs.
    (8) At all times, the affected source was operated in a manner 
consistent with good practices for minimizing emissions.
    (9) A written root cause analysis has been prepared, the purpose of 
which is to determine, correct, and eliminate the primary causes of the 
malfunction and the excess emissions resulting from the malfunction 
event at issue. The analysis shall also specify, using best monitoring 
methods and engineering judgment, the amount of excess emissions that 
were the result of the malfunction.
    (b) Notification. The owner or operator of the affected source 
experiencing an exceedance of its emissions limit(s) during a 
malfunction, shall notify the Administrator by telephone or facsimile 
transmission as soon as possible, but no later than two business days 
after the initial occurrence of the malfunction, it wishes to avail 
itself of an affirmative defense to civil penalties for that 
malfunction. The owner or operator seeking to assert an affirmative 
defense, shall also submit a written report to the Administrator within 
45 days of the initial occurrence of the exceedance of the standard in 
this subpart to demonstrate, with all necessary supporting 
documentation, that it has met the requirements set forth in paragraph 
(a) of this section. The owner or operator may seek an extension of this 
deadline for up to 30 additional days by submitting a written request to 
the Administrator before the expiration of the 45-day period. Until a 
request for an extension has been approved by the

[[Page 764]]

Administrator, the owner or operator is subject to the requirement to 
submit such report within 45 days of the initial occurrence of the 
exceedance.

Sec.  63.561  Definitions.

    As used in this subpart, all terms not defined herein shall have the 
meaning given them in the Clean Air Act or in subpart A of this part.
    Affected source means a source with emissions of 10 or 25 tons, a 
new source with emissions less than 10 and 25 tons, a new major source 
offshore loading terminal, a source with throughput of 10 M barrels or 
200 M barrels, or the VMT source, that is subject to the emissions 
standards in Sec.  63.562.
    Affirmative defense means, in the context of an enforcement 
proceeding, a response or a defense put forward by a defendant, 
regarding which the defendant has the burden of proof, and the merits of 
which are independently and objectively evaluated in a judicial or 
administrative proceeding.
    Air pollution control device or control device means a combustion 
device or vapor recovery device.
    Ballasting operations means the introduction of ballast water into a 
cargo tank of a tankship or oceangoing barge.

[[Page 771]]

    Baseline operating parameter means a minimum or maximum value of a 
process parameter, established for a control device during a performance 
test where the control device is meeting the required emissions 
reduction or established as the manufacturer recommended operating 
parameter, that, if achieved by itself or in combination with one or 
more other operating parameters, determines if a control device is 
operating properly.
    Boiler means a device that combusts any fuel and produces steam or 
heats water or any other heat transfer medium. This term includes any 
duct burner that combusts fuel and is part of a combined cycle system.
    Car-seal means a seal that is placed on a device used to change the 
position of a valve (e.g., from open to closed) in such a way that the 
position of the valve cannot be changed without breaking the seal.
    Combustion device means all equipment, including, but not limited 
to, thermal incinerators, catalytic incinerators, flares, boilers, and 
process heaters used for combustion or destruction of organic vapors.
    Commenced means, with respect to construction of an air pollution 
control device, that an owner or operator has undertaken a continuous 
program of construction or that an owner or operator has entered into a 
contractual obligation to undertake and complete, within a reasonable 
time, a continuous program of construction.
    Commodity means a distinct product that a source loads onto marine 
tank vessels.
    Continuous means, with respect to monitoring, reading and recording 
(either in hard copy or computer readable form) of data values measured 
at least once every 15 minutes.
    Crude oil means a naturally occurring mixture consisting 
predominantly of hydrocarbons and/or sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen 
derivatives of hydrocarbons that is removed from the earth in a liquid 
state or is capable of being so removed.
    Exceedance or Variance means, with respect to parametric monitoring, 
the operating parameter of the air pollution control device that is 
monitored as an indication of proper operation of the control device is 
outside the acceptable range or limits for the baseline parameter given 
in Sec.  63.563(b)(4) through (9).
    Excess emissions means, with respect to emissions monitoring, the 
concentration of the outlet stream of the air pollution control device 
is outside the acceptable range or limits for the baseline concentration 
given in Sec.  63.563(b)(4) through (9).
    Flow indicator means a device that indicates whether gas flow is 
present in a line or vent system.
    Gasoline means any petroleum distillate or petroleum distillate/
alcohol blend having a Reid vapor pressure of 27.6 kPa (4.0 psia) or 
greater, that is used as a fuel for internal combustion engines.
    Impurity means HAP substances that are present in a commodity or 
that are produced in a process coincidentally with the primary product 
or commodity and that are 0.5 percent total HAP by weight or less. An 
impurity does not serve a useful purpose in the production or use of the 
primary product or commodity and is not isolated.
    Leak means a reading of 10,000 parts per million volume (ppmv) or 
greater as methane that is determined using the test methods in Method 
21, appendix A of part 60 of this chapter.
    Lightering or Lightering operation means the offshore transfer of a 
bulk liquid cargo from one marine tank vessel to another vessel.
    Loading berth means the loading arms, pumps, meters, shutoff valves, 
relief valves, and other piping and valves necessary to fill marine tank 
vessels. The loading berth includes those items necessary for an 
offshore loading terminal.
    Loading cycle means the time period from the beginning of filling a 
single marine tank vessel until commodity flow to the marine tank vessel 
ceases.
    Maintenance allowance means a period of time that an affected source 
is allowed to perform maintenance on the loading berth without 
controlling emissions from marine tank vessel loading operations.
    Marine tank vessel loading operation means any operation under which 
a commodity is bulk loaded onto a marine tank vessel from a terminal, 
which

[[Page 772]]

may include the loading of multiple marine tank vessels during one 
loading operation. Marine tank vessel loading operations do not include 
refueling of marine tank vessels.
    Marine vessel or Marine tank vessel means any tank ship or tank 
barge that transports liquid product such as gasoline or crude oil in 
bulk.
    Nonvapor-tight means any marine tank vessel that does not pass the 
required vapor-tightness test.
    Offshore loading terminal means a location that has at least one 
loading berth that is 0.81 km (0.5 miles) or more from the shore that is 
used for mooring a marine tank vessel and loading liquids from shore.
    Primary fuel means the fuel that provides the principal heat input 
to the device. To be considered primary, the fuel must be able to 
sustain operation of the device without the addition of other fuels.
    Process heater means a device that transfers heat liberated by 
burning fuel to fluids contained in tubes, including all fluids except 
water that are heated to produce steam.
    Recovery device means an individual unit of equipment, including, 
but not limited to, a carbon adsorber, condenser/refrigeration unit, or 
absorber that is capable of and used for the purpose of removing vapors 
and recovering liquids or chemicals.
    Routine loading means, with respect to the VMT source, marine tank 
vessel loading operations that occur as part of normal facility 
operation over a loading berth when no loading berths are inoperable due 
to maintenance.
    Secondary fuel means any fuel other than the primary fuel. The 
secondary fuel provides supplementary heat in addition to the heat 
provided by the primary fuel and is generally fired through a burner 
other than the primary burner.
    Source(s) means any location where at least one dock or loading 
berth is bulk loading onto marine tank vessels, except offshore drilling

equal to 550,000 barrels per day in the prior calendar year, the 
maintenance allowance for the calendar year shall not exceed 
Qm:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19SE95.000

Where:

Qm = maintenance allowance, barrels per day
P = prior calendar year's average daily volume of crude oil loaded at 
          the facility, barrels per day.

    (3) If the total annual average daily volume of crude oil loaded at 
the facility was less than 550,000 barrels per day in the prior calendar 
year, there shall be no maintenance allowance.
    (iii) If the average daily loading rate for the loading berths not 
equipped with a vapor collection system and control device is greater 
than the combined amounts in any year listed in paragraphs (d)(2)(i)(A), 
(B), and (C) and (d)(2)(ii)(A) and (B), then the owner or operator of 
the VMT source shall equip all loading berths used for routine loading 
with a vapor collection system and control device within 2 years of the 
exceedance except that in an emergency situation the Administrator

[[Page 777]]

may, instead of requiring controls, approve an alternative plan to 
reduce loading over the unequipped berth(s) to a level which will ensure 
compliance with the applicable limit. Beginning in the year 2002, the 
owner or operator of the VMT source shall equip all uncontrolled loading 
berths used for marine tank vessel loading operations beyond the 
maintenance allowance in paragraph (d)(2)(ii)(B) with a vapor collection 
system and control device.
    (iv) The owner or operator of the VMT source shall develop a program 
to communicate to relevant facility operations and marine transportation 
personnel and engage their active and consistent participation in 
honoring the intent and goal of minimizing loaded volumes over the 
unequipped berths and maximizing the loaded volumes at the berths 
equipped with a vapor collection system and control device to prevent 
exceedance of the load volume limits in paragraphs (d)(2)(ii)(A) and 
(B). This program is to be presented semi-annually during the first year 
of compliance and annually thereafter until the use of unequipped berths 
for routine loading is no longer required.
    (e) Operation and maintenance requirements for air pollution control 
equipment and monitoring equipment for affected sources. At all times, 
owners or operators of affected sources shall operate and maintain a 
source, including associated air pollution control equipment, in a 
manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices 
for minimizing emissions. Determination of whether acceptable operation 
and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information 
available to the Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, 
monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, 
review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the 
source.
    (1) The Administrator will determine compliance with design, 
equipment, work practice, or operational emission standards by 
evaluating an owner or operator's conformance with operation and 
maintenance requirements.
    (2) The owner or operator of an affected source shall develop a 
written operation and maintenance plan that describes in detail a 
program of corrective action for varying (i.e., exceeding baseline 
parameters) air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, 
based on monitoring requirements in Sec.  63.564, used to comply with 
these emissions standards. The plan shall also identify all routine or 
otherwise predictable continuous monitoring system (thermocouples, 
pressure transducers, continuous emissions monitors (CEMS), etc.) 
variances.
    (i) The plan shall specify procedures (preventive maintenance) to be 
followed to ensure that pollution control equipment and monitoring 
equipment functions properly and variances of the control equipment and 
monitoring equipment are minimal.
    (ii) The plan shall identify all operating parameters to be 
monitored and recorded for the air pollution control device as 
indicators of proper operation and shall establish the frequency at 
which the parameters will be monitored (see Sec.  63.564).
    (iii) Owners or operators of affected sources shall incorporate a 
standardized inspection schedule for each component of the control 
device used to comply with the emissions standards in Sec.  63.562(b), 
(c), and (d). To satisfy the requirements of this paragraph, the owner 
or operator may use the inspection schedule recommended by the vendor of 
the control system or any other technical publication regarding the 
operation of the control system.
    (iv) Owners or operators shall develop and implement a continuous 
monitoring system (CMS) quality control program. The owner or operator 
shall develop and submit to the Administrator for approval upon request 
a site-specific performance evaluation test plan for the CMS performance 
evaluation required in Sec.  63.8(e) of subpart A of this part. Each 
quality control program shall include, at a minimum, a written protocol 
that describes procedures for initial and any subsequent calibration of 
the CMS; determination and adjustment of the calibration drift of the 
CMS; preventive maintenance of the CMS, including spare parts inventory; 
data recording, calculations, and reporting; and accuracy audit 
procedures, including sampling and analysis methods. The owner or 
operation shall

[[Page 778]]

maintain records of the procedures that are part of the quality control 
program developed and implemented for CMS.
    (3) Based on the results of the determination made under paragraph 
(e)(2), the Administrator may require that an owner or operator of an 
affected source make changes to the operation and maintenance plan for 
that source. Revisions may be required if the plan:
    (i) Does not address a variance of the air pollution control 
equipment or monitoring equipment that has occurred that increases 
emissions;
    (ii) Fails to provide for operation during a variance of the air 
pollution control equipment or the monitoring equipment in a manner 
consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices; or
    (iii) Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting a variance 
of the air pollution control equipment or monitoring equipment as soon 
as reasonable.
    (4) If the operation and maintenance plan fails to address or 
inadequately addresses a variance event at the time the plan was 
initially developed, the owner or operator shall revise the operation 
and maintenance plan within 45 working days after such an event occurs. 
The revised plan shall include procedures for operating and maintaining 
the air pollution control equipment or monitoring equipment during 
similar variance events and a program for corrective action for such 
events.
    (5) The operation and maintenance plan shall be developed by the 
source's compliance date. The owner or operator shall keep the written 
operation and maintenance plan on record to be made available for 
inspection, upon request, by the Administrator for the life of the 
source. In addition, if the operation and maintenance plan is revised, 
the owner or operator shall keep previous (i.e., superseded) versions of 
the plan on record to be made available for inspection upon request by 
the Administrator for a period of 5 years after each revision to the 
plan.
    (6) To satisfy the requirements of the operation and maintenance 
plan, the owner or operator may use the source's standard operating 
procedures (SOP) manual, an Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) plan, or other existing plans provided the 
alternative plans meet the requirements of this section and are made 
available for inspection when requested by the Administrator.
    (7) In response to an action to enforce the standards set forth in 
this subpart, you may assert an affirmative defense to a claim for civil 
penalties for exceedances of such standards that are caused by a 
malfunction, as defined in Sec.  63.2. Appropriate penalties may be 
assessed, however, if the respondent fails to meet its burden of proving 
all the requirements in the affirmative defense. The affirmative defense 
shall not be available for claims for injunctive relief.
    (i) To establish the affirmative defense in any action to enforce 
such a limit, the owners or operators of a facility must timely meet the 
notification requirements of paragraph (e)(7)(ii) of this section, and 
must prove by a preponderance of evidence that:
    (A) The excess emissions were caused by a sudden, infrequent, and 
unavoidable failure of air pollution control and monitoring equipment, 
or a process to operate in a normal and usual manner; and could not have 
been prevented through careful planning, proper design or better 
operation and maintenance practices; and did not stem from any activity 
or event that could have been foreseen and avoided, or planned for; and 
were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, 
operation, or maintenance;
    (B) Repairs were made as expeditiously as possible when the 
applicable emission limitations were being exceeded. Off-shift and 
overtime labor were used, to the extent practicable to make these 
repairs;
    (C) The frequency, amount and duration of the excess emissions 
(including any bypass) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable 
during periods of such emissions;
    (D) If the excess emissions resulted from a bypass of control 
equipment or a process, then the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss 
of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
    (E) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the 
excess

[[Page 779]]

emissions on ambient air quality, the environment, and human health;
    (F) All emissions monitoring and control systems were kept in 
operation if at all possible, consistent with safety and good air 
pollution control practices;
    (G) All of the actions in response to the excess emissions were 
documented by properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs;
    (H) At all times, the affected facility was operated in a manner 
consistent with good practices for minimizing emissions; and
    (I) The owner or operator has prepared a written root cause 
analysis, the purpose of which is to determine, correct, and eliminate 
the primary causes of the malfunction and the excess emissions resulting 
from the malfunction event at issue. The analysis shall also specify, 
using the best monitoring methods and engineering judgment, the amount 
of excess emissions that were the result of the malfunction.
    (ii) Notification. The owner or operator of the facility 
experiencing an exceedance of its emission limit(s) during a malfunction 
shall notify the Administrator by telephone or facsimile (FAX) 
transmission as soon as possible, but no later than 2 business days 
after the initial occurrence of the malfunction, if it wishes to avail 
itself of an affirmative defense to civil penalties for that 
malfunction. The owner or operator seeking to assert an affirmative 
defense shall also submit a written report to the Administrator within 
45 days of the initial occurrence of the exceedance of the standard in 
this subpart to demonstrate, with all necessary supporting 
documentation, that it has met the requirements set forth in paragraph 
(e)(7)(i) of this section. The owner or operator may seek an extension 
of this deadline for up to 30 additional days by submitting a written 
request to the Administrator before the expiration of the 45 day period. 
Until a request for an extension has been approved by the Administrator, 
the owner or operator is subject to the requirement to submit such 
report within 45 days of the initial occurrence of the exceedance.

    (a) The following procedures shall be used to determine compliance 
with the emissions limits under Sec.  63.562(b)(1), (c)(2), and (d)(1):
    (1) Vent stream by-pass requirements for the terminal's vapor 
collection system. (i) In accordance with Sec.  63.562(b)(1)(i), 
(c)(2)(i), and (d)(1)(i), each valve in the terminal's vapor collection 
system that would route displaced vapors to the atmosphere, either 
directly or indirectly, shall be secured closed during marine tank 
vessel loading operations either by using a car-seal or a lock-and-key 
type configuration, or the by-pass line from the valve shall be equipped 
with a flow indicator, except for those valves used for pressure/vacuum 
relief, analyzers, instrumentation devices, sampling, and venting for 
maintenance. Marine tank vessel loading operations shall not be 
performed with open by-pass lines.
    (ii) Repairs shall be made to valves, car-seals, or closure 
mechanisms no later than 15 days after a change in the position of the 
valve or a break in the car-seal or closure mechanism is detected or no 
later than prior to the next marine tank vessel loading operation, 
whichever is later.
    (2) Ship-to-shore compatibility of vapor collection systems. 
Following the date on which the initial performance test is completed, 
marine tank vessel loading operations must be performed only if the 
marine tank vessel's vapor collection equipment is compatible to the 
terminal's vapor collection system; marine tank vessel loading 
operations must be performed only when the marine tank vessel's vapor 
collection equipment is connected to the terminal's vapor collection 
system, as required in Sec.  63.562(b)(1)(ii), (c)(2)(ii), and 
(d)(1)(ii).
    (3) Pressure/vacuum settings for the marine tank vessel's vapor 
collection equipment. During the initial performance test required in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this

[[Page 780]]

section, the owner or operator of an affected source shall demonstrate 
compliance with operating pressure requirements of 33 CFR 154.814 using 
the procedures in Sec.  63.565(b).
    (4) Vapor-tightness requirements of the marine vessel. The owner or 
operator of an affected source shall use the procedures in paragraph 
(a)(4)(i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this section to ensure that marine 
tank vessels are vapor tight, as required in Sec.  63.562(b)(1)(iii), 
(c)(2)(iii), and (d)(1)(iii).
    (i) Pressure test documentation for determining vapor tightness of 
the marine vessel. The owner or operator of a marine tank vessel, who 
loads commodities containing HAP not determined to be exempt under Sec.  
63.560(d) at an affected source, shall provide a copy of the vapor-
tightness pressure test documentation described in Sec.  63.567(i) for 
each marine tank vessel prior to loading. The date of the test listed in 
the documentation must be within the preceding 12 months, and the test 
must be conducted in accordance with the procedures in Sec.  
63.565(c)(1). Following the date on which the initial performance test 
is completed, the affected source must check vapor-tightness pressure 
test documentation for marine tank vessels loaded at positive pressure.
    (ii) Leak test documentation for determining vapor tightness of the 
marine vessel. If no documentation of the vapor tightness pressure test 
as described in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section is available, the 
owner or operator of a marine tank vessel, who loads commodities 
containing HAP not determined to be exempt under Sec.  63.560(d) at an 
affected source, shall provide the leak test documentation described in 
Sec.  63.567(i) for each marine tank vessel prior to loading. The date 
of the test listed in the documentation must be within the preceding 12 
months, and the test must be conducted in accordance with the procedures 
in Sec.  63.565(c)(2). If the marine tank vessel has failed its most 
recent vapor-tightness leak test at that terminal, the owner or operator 
of the non-vapor-tight marine tank vessel shall provide documentation 
that the leaks detected during the previous vapor-tightness test have 
been repaired and documented with a successful vapor-tightness leak test 
described in Sec.  63.565(c)(2) conducted during loading. If the owner 
or operator of the marine tank vessel can document that repair is 
technically infeasible without cleaning and gas freeing or dry-docking 
the vessel, the owner or operator of the affected source may load the 
marine tank vessel. Following the date on which the initial performance 
test is completed, an affected source must check the vapor-tightness 
leak test documentation for marine tank vessels loaded at positive 
pressure.
    (iii) Leak test performed during loading using Method 21 for 
determining vapor tightness of the marine vessel. If no documentation of 
vapor tightness as described in paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (ii) of this 
section is available, the owner or operator of a marine tank vessel, who 
loads commodities containing HAP not determined to be exempt under Sec.  
63.560(d) at an affected source, shall perform a leak test of the marine 
tank vessel during marine tank vessel loading operation using the 
procedures described in Sec.  63.565(c)(2).
    (A) If no leak is detected, the owner or operator of a marine tank 
vessel shall complete the documentation described in Sec.  63.567(i) 
prior to departure of the vessel.
    (B) If a leak is detected, the owner or operator of the marine tank 
vessel shall document the vapor-tightness failure for the marine tank 
vessel prior to departure of the vessel. The leaking component shall be 
repaired prior to the next marine tank vessel loading operation at a 
controlled terminal unless the repair is technically infeasible without 
cleaning and gas freeing or dry-docking the vessel. If the owner or 
operator of the vessel provides documentation that repair of such 
equipment is technically infeasible without cleaning and gas freeing or 
dry-docking the vessel, the equipment responsible for the leak will be 
excluded from future Method 21 tests until repairs are effected. A copy 
of this documentation shall be maintained by the owner or operator of 
the affected source. Repair of the equipment responsible for the leak 
shall occur the next time the vessel is cleaned and gas freed or dry-
docked. For repairs that are technically feasible without dry-docking

[[Page 781]]

the vessel, the owner or operator of the affected source shall not load 
the vessel again unless the marine tank vessel owner or operator can 
document that the equipment responsible for the leak has been repaired.
    (iv) Negative pressure loading. The owner or operator of an affected 
source shall ensure that a marine tank vessel is loaded with the product 
tank below atmospheric pressure (i.e., at negative gauge pressure). The 
pressure shall be measured between the facility's vapor connection and 
its manual isolation valve, and the measured pressure must be below 
atmospheric pressure. Following the date on which the initial 
performance test is completed, marine tank vessel loading operations for 
nonvapor-tight vessels must be performed below atmospheric pressure 
(i.e., at negative gauge pressure) in the product tank.
    (b) Compliance determination for affected sources. The following 
procedures shall be used to determine compliance with the emissions 
limits under Sec.  63.562(b), (c), and (d).
    (1) Initial performance test. An initial performance test shall be 
conducted using the procedures listed in Sec.  63.7 of subpart A of this 
part according to the applicability in Table 1 of Sec.  63.560, the 
procedures listed in this section, and the test methods listed in Sec.  
63.565. The initial performance test shall be conducted within 180 days 
after the compliance date for the specific affected source. During this 
performance test, sources subject to MACT standards under Sec.  
63.562(b)(2), (3), (4), and (5), and (d)(2) shall determine the 
reduction of HAP emissions, as VOC, for all combustion or recovery 
devices other than flares. Performance tests shall be conducted under 
such conditions as the Administrator specifies to the owner or operator 
based on representative performance of the affected source for the 
period being tested. Upon request, the owner or operator shall make 
available to the Administrator such records as may be necessary to 
determine the conditions of performance tests. Sources subject to RACT 
standards under Sec.  63.562(c)(3), (4), and (5), and (d)(2) shall 
determine the reduction of VOC emissions for all combustion or recovery 
devices other than flares.
    (2) Performance test exemptions. An initial performance test 
required in this section and in Sec.  63.565(d) and the continuous 
monitoring in Sec.  63.564(e) is not required in the following cases:
    (i) When a boiler or process heater with a design heat input 
capacity of 44 Megawatts or less is used to comply with Sec.  
63.562(b)(2), (3), or (4), (c)(3) or (4), or (d)(2) and the vent stream 
is used as the primary fuel or with the primary fuel;
    (ii) When a boiler or process heater with a design heat input 
capacity of 44 Megawatts or greater is used to comply with Sec.  
63.562(b)(2), (3) or (4), (c)(3) or (4), or (d)(2); or
    (iii) When a boiler subject to 40 CFR part 266, subpart H, 
``Hazardous Waste Burned in Industrial Furnaces,'' that has demonstrated 
99.99 percent destruction or recovery efficiency is used to comply with 
Sec.  63.562(b)(2), (3), or (4), (c)(3) or (4), or (d)(2).
    (3) Operation and maintenance inspections. If the 3-hour or 3-cycle 
block average operating parameters in paragraphs (b)(4) through (9) of 
this section, outside the acceptable operating ranges, are measured and 
recorded, i.e., variances of the pollution control device or monitoring 
equipment, the owner or operator of the affected source shall perform an 
unscheduled inspection of the control device and monitoring equipment 
and review of the parameter monitoring data. The owner or operator of 
the affected source shall perform an inspection and review when total 
parameter variance time for the control device is greater than 10 
percent of the operating time for marine tank vessel loading operations 
on a 30-day, rolling-average basis. The inspection and review shall be 
conducted within 24 hours after passing the allowable variance time of 
10 percent. The inspection checklist from the requirements of Sec.  
63.562(e)(2)(iii) and the monitoring data from requirements in 
Sec. Sec.  63.562(e)(2)(ii) and 63.564 should be used to identify any 
maintenance problems that may be associated with the variance. The 
unscheduled inspection should encompass all components of the control 
device and monitoring equipment that can be inspected while

[[Page 782]]

in operation. If any maintenance problem is identified during the 
inspection, the owner or operator of the affected source must take 
corrective action (e.g., adjustments to operating controls, etc.) as 
soon as practicable. If no immediate maintenance problems are identified 
from the inspection performed while the equipment is operating, a 
complete inspection in accordance with Sec.  63.562(e)(2) must be 
conducted prior to the next marine tank vessel loading operation and 
corrective action (e.g., replacement of defective parts) must be taken 
as soon as practicable for any maintenance problem identified during the 
complete inspection.
    (4) Combustion device, except flare. During the initial performance 
test required in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the owner or operator

60, appendix B for CEMS or in Sec.  63.7(c)(6) of subpart A of this part 
for CPMS.
    (5) A CEMS is out of control when the measured values (i.e., daily 
calibrations, multipoint calibrations, and performance audits) exceed 
the limits specified in either PS 8 or in Sec.  63.8(c)(7) of subpart A 
of this part. The owner or operator of a CEMS that is out of control 
shall submit all information concerning out of control periods, 
including start and end dates and hours and descriptions of corrective 
actions taken, in the excess emissions and continuous monitoring system 
performance report required in Sec.  63.567(e).
    (b) Vapor collection system of terminal. Owners or operators of a 
source complying with Sec.  63.563(a)(1) that uses a vapor collection 
system that contains valves that could divert a vent stream from a 
control device used to comply with the provisions of this subpart shall 
comply with paragraph (b)(1), (2), or (3) of this section.
    (1) Measure and record the vent stream flowrate of each by-pass line 
once every 15 minutes. The owner or operator shall install, calibrate, 
maintain, and operate a flow indicator and data recorder. The flow 
indicator shall be installed immediately downstream of any valve (i.e., 
entrance to by-pass line) that could divert the vent stream from the 
control device to the atmosphere.
    (2) Measure the vent stream flowrate of each by-pass line once every 
15 minutes. The owner or operator shall install, calibrate, maintain, 
and operate a flow indicator with either an audio or visual alarm. The 
flow indicator and alarm shall be installed immediately downstream of 
any valve (i.e., entrance to by-pass line) that could divert the vent 
stream from the control device to the atmosphere. The alarm shall be 
checked every 6 months to demonstrate that it is functioning properly.
    (3) Visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism once during each 
marine tank vessel loading operation and at least once every month to 
ensure that the valve is maintained in the closed position and that the 
vent stream is not diverted through the by-pass line; record all times 
when the car seals have been broken and the valve position has been 
changed. Each by-pass line valve shall be secured in the closed position 
with a car-seal or a lock-and-key type configuration.
    (c) Pressure/vacuum settings for the marine tank vessel's vapor 
collection equipment. Owners or operators of a source complying with 
Sec.  63.563(a)(3) shall measure continuously the operating pressure of

atmospheric pressure (i.e., negative gauge pressure) shall measure and 
record the loading pressure. The owner or operator shall install, 
calibrate, maintain, and operate a recording pressure measurement device 
(magnehelic gauge or equivalent device) and an audible and visible alarm 
system that is activated when the pressure vacuum specified in Sec.  
63.563(a)(4)(iv) is not attained. The owner or operator shall place the 
alarm system so that it can be seen and heard where cargo transfer is 
controlled. The owner or operator shall verify the accuracy of the 
pressure device once each calendar year with a reference pressure 
monitor (traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology 
(NIST) standards or an independent pressure measurement device dedicated 
for this purpose).
    (e) Combustion device, except flare. For sources complying with 
Sec.  63.563(b)(4), use of a combustion device except a

[[Page 786]]

flare, the owner or operator shall comply with paragraph (e)(1), (2), or 
(3) of this section. Owners or operators complying with paragraphs 
(e)(2) or (3) shall also comply with paragraph (e)(4) of this section.
    (1) Outlet VOC concentration. Monitor the VOC concentrations at the 
exhaust point of the combustion device and record the output from the 
system. For sources monitoring the outlet VOC concentration established 
during the performance test, a data acquisition system shall record a 
concentration every 15 minutes and shall compute and record an average 
concentration each cycle (same time period or cycle as the performance

of Sec.  63.9 of subpart A of this part and the notification 
requirements of this paragraph.
    (2) Initial notification for sources with startup before the 
effective date. The owner or operator of a source with initial startup 
before the effective date shall notify the Administrator in writing that 
the source is subject to the relevant standard. The notification shall 
be submitted not later than 365 days after the effective date of the 
emissions standards or no later than 120 days after the source becomes 
subject to this subpart, whichever is later, and shall provide the 
following information:
    (i) The name and address of the owner or operator;
    (ii) The address (i.e., physical location) of the source;

[[Page 794]]

of subpart A of this part. The notification shall provide all the 
information required in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, delivered or 
postmarked with the notification required in paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section.
    (4) Initial notification requirements for constructed/reconstructed 
sources. After the effective date of these standards, whether or not an 
approved permit program is effective in the State in which a source 
subject to these standards is (or would be) located, an owner or 
operator subject to the notification requirements of Sec.  63.5 of 
subpart A of this part and Sec.  63.566 of this subpart who intends to 
construct a new source subject to these standards, reconstruct a source 
subject to these standards, or reconstruct a source such that it becomes 
subject to these standards, shall comply with paragraphs (b)(4)(i), 
(ii), (iii), and (iv) of this section.
    (i) Notify the Administrator in writing of the intended construction 
or reconstruction. The notification shall be submitted as soon as 
practicable before the construction or reconstruction is planned to 
commence. The notification shall include all the information required 
for an application for approval of construction or reconstruction as 
specified in Sec.  63.5 of subpart A of this part. The application for 
approval of construction or reconstruction may be used to fulfill the 
requirements of this paragraph.
    (ii) Submit a notification of the date when construction or 
reconstruction was commenced, delivered or postmarked not later than 30 
days after such date, if construction was commenced after the effective

    (5) Additional initial notification requirements. (i) The owner or 
operator of sources subject to Sec.  63.562(b)(2), (3), and (4), MACT 
standards, shall also include in the initial notification report 
required by paragraph (b)(2) and (3) the 24-month annual average or the 
annual actual HAP emissions from marine tank vessel loading operations, 
as appropriate, at all loading berths, as calculated according to the 
procedures in Sec.  63.565(l). Emissions will be reported by commodity 
and type of marine tank vessel (barge or tanker) loaded.
    (ii) As an alternative to reporting the information in paragraph 
(b)(5)(i) of this section, the source may submit documentation showing 
that all HAP-containing marine tank vessel loading operations, not 
exempt by Sec.  63.560(d), occurred using vapor tight vessels that 
comply with the procedures of Sec.  63.563(a) and that the emissions 
were routed to control devices meeting the requirements specified in 
Sec.  63.563(b).
    (c) Request for extension of compliance. If the owner or operator 
has installed BACT or technology to meet LAER consistent with Sec.  
63.6(i)(5) of subpart A of this part, he/she may submit to the 
Administrator (or State with an approved permit program) a request for 
an extension of compliance as specified in Sec.  63.6(i)(4)(i)(B), 
(i)(5), and (i)(6) of subpart A of this part.
    (d) Reporting for performance testing of flares. The owner or 
operator of a source required to conduct an opacity performance test 
shall report the opacity results and other information required by Sec.  
63.565(e) and Sec.  63.11 of subpart A of this part with the 
notification of compliance status.
    (e) Summary reports and excess emissions and monitoring system 
performance reports--(1) Schedule for summary report and excess 
emissions and monitoring system performance reports. Excess emissions 
and parameter monitoring exceedances are defined in Sec.  63.563(b). The 
owner or operator of a source subject to these emissions standards that 
is required to install a CMS shall submit an excess emissions and 
continuous monitoring system performance report and/or a summary report 
to the Administrator once each year, except, when the source experiences 
excess emissions, the source shall comply with a semi-annual reporting 
format until a request to reduce reporting frequency under paragraph 
(e)(2) of this section is approved.
    (2) Request to reduce frequency of excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance reports. An owner or

[[Page 795]]

operator who is required to submit excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance and summary reports on a semi-annual basis 
may reduce the frequency of reporting to annual if the following 
conditions are met:
    (i) For 1 full year the sources's excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance reports continually demonstrate that the 
source is in compliance; and
    (ii) The owner or operator continues to comply with all 
recordkeeping and monitoring requirements specified in this subpart and 
subpart A of this part.
    (3) The frequency of reporting of excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance and summary reports required may be 
reduced only after the owner or operator notifies the Administrator in 
writing of his or her intention to make such a change and the 
Administrator does not object to the intended change. In deciding 
whether to approve a reduced frequency of reporting, the Administrator 
may review information concerning the source's entire previous 
performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping prior to the 
intended change, including performance test results, monitoring data, 
and evaluations of an owner or operator's conformance with operation 
maintenance requirements. Such information may be used by the 
Administrator to make a judgement about the source's potential for 
noncompliance in the future. If the Administrator will notify the owner 
or operator in writing within 45 days after receiving notice of the 
owner or operator's intention. The notification from the Administrator 
to the owner or operator will specify the grounds on which the 
disapproval is based. In the absence of a notice of disapproval within 
45 days, approval is automatically granted.
    (4) Content and submittal dates for excess emissions and monitoring 
system performance reports. All excess emissions and monitoring system 
performance reports and all summary reports, if required per paragraph 
(e)(5) and (6) of this section, shall be delivered or postmarked within 
30 days following the end of each calendar year, or within 30 days 
following the end of each six month period, if appropriate. Written 
reports of excess emissions or exceedances of process or control system 
parameters shall include all information required in Sec.  63.10(c)(5) 
through (13) of subpart A of this part as applicable in Table 1 of Sec.  
63.560 and information from any calibration tests in which the 
monitoring equipment is not in compliance with PS 8 or other methods 
used for accuracy testing of temperature, pressure, or flow monitoring 
devices. The written report shall also include the name, title, and 
signature of the responsible official who is certifying the accuracy of 
the report. When no excess emissions or exceedances have occurred or 
monitoring equipment has not been inoperative, repaired, or adjusted, 
such information shall be stated in the report. This information will be 
kept for a minimum of 5 years and made readily available to the 
Administrator or delegated State authority upon request.
    (5) If the total duration of excess emissions or control system 
parameter exceedances for the reporting period is less than 5 percent of 
the total operating time for the reporting period, and CMS downtime for 
the reporting period is less than 10 percent of the total operating time 
for the reporting period, only the summary report of Sec.  
63.10(e)(3)(vi) of subpart A of this part shall be submitted, and the 
full excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance 
report of paragraph (e)(4) of this section need not be submitted unless 
required by the Administrator.
    (6) If the total duration of excess emissions or process or control 
system parameter exceedances for the reporting period is 5 percent or 
greater of the total operating time for the reporting period, or the 
total CMS downtime for the reporting period is 10 percent or greater of 
the total operating time for the reporting period, both the summary 
report of Sec.  63.10(e)(3)(vi) of subpart A of this part and the excess 
emissions and continuous monitoring system performance report of 
paragraph (e)(4) of this section shall be submitted.
    (f) Vapor collection system of the terminal. Each owner or operator 
of an affected source shall submit with the initial performance test and 
maintain in

[[Page 796]]

an accessible location on site an engineering report describing in 
detail the vent system, or vapor collection system, used to vent each 
vent stream to a control device. This report shall include all valves 
and vent pipes that could vent the stream to the atmosphere, thereby 
bypassing the control device, and identify which valves are car-sealed 
opened and which valves are car-sealed closed.
    (g) If a vent system, or vapor collection system, containing valves 
that could divert the emission stream away from the control device is 
used, each owner or operator of an affected source shall keep for at 
least 5 years up-to-date, readily accessible continuous records of:
    (1) All periods when flow bypassing the control device is indicated 
if flow indicators are installed under Sec.  63.563(a)(1) and Sec.  
63.564(b), and
    (2) All times when maintenance is performed on car-sealed valves, 
when the car-seal is broken, and when the valve position is changed 
(i.e., from open to closed for valves in the vent piping to the control 
device and from closed to open for valves that vent the stream directly 
or indirectly to the atmosphere bypassing the control device) if valves 
are monitored under Sec.  63.564(b).
    (h) The owner or operator of an affected source shall keep the 
vapor-tightness documentation required under Sec.  63.563(a)(4) on file 
at the source in a permanent form available for inspection.
    (i) Vapor tightness test documentation for marine tank vessels. The 
owner or operator of an affected source shall maintain a documentation 
file for each marine tank vessel loaded at that source to reflect 
current test results as determined by the appropriate method in Sec.  
63.565(c)(1) and (2). Updates to this documentation file shall be made 
at least once per year. The owner or operator shall include, as a 
minimum, the following information in this documentation:
    (1) Test title;
    (2) Marine vessel owner and address;
    (3) Marine vessel identification number;
    (4) Loading time, according to Sec.  63.563(a)(4)(ii) or (iii), if 
appropriate;
    (5) Testing location;
    (6) Date of test;
    (7) Tester name and signature;
    (8) Test results from Sec.  63.565(c)(1) or (2), as appropriate;
    (9) Documentation provided under Sec.  63.563(a)(4)(ii) and (iii)(B)

a vapor-tightness test is technically infeasible without dry-docking the 
vessel; and
    (10) Documentation that a marine tank vessel failing a pressure test 
or leak test has been repaired.
    (j) Emission estimation reporting and recordkeeping procedures. The 
owner or operator of each source complying with the emission limits 
specified in Sec.  63.562(b)(2), (3), and (4) shall comply with the 
following provisions:
    (1) Maintain records of all measurements, calculations, and other 
documentation used to identify commodities exempted under Sec.  
63.560(d);
    (2) Keep readily accessible records of the emission estimation 
calculations performed in Sec.  63.565(l) for 5 years; and
    (3) Submit an annual report of the source's HAP control efficiency 
calculated using the procedures specified in Sec.  63.565(l), based on 
the source's actual throughput.
    (4) Owners or operators of marine tank vessel loading operations 
specified in Sec.  63.560(a)(3) shall retain records of the emissions 
estimates determined in Sec.  65.565(l) and records of their actual 
throughputs by commodity, for 5 years.
    (k) Leak detection and repair of vapor collection systems and 
control devices. When each leak of the vapor collection system, or vapor 
collection system, and control device is detected and repaired as 
specified in Sec.  63.563(c) the following information required shall be 
maintained for 5 years:
    (1) Date of inspection;
    (2) Findings (location, nature, and severity of each leak);
    (3) Leak determination method;
    (4) Corrective action (date each leak repaired, reasons for repair 
interval); and
    (5) Inspector name and signature.
    (l) The owner or operator of the VMT source required by Sec.  
63.562(d)(2)(iv) to develop a program, shall submit annual reports on or 
before January 31 of each year to the Administrator certifying

[[Page 797]]

the annual average daily loading rate for the previous calendar year. 
Beginning on January 31, 1996, for the reported year 1995, the annual 
report shall specify the annual average daily loading rate over all 
loading berths. Beginning on January 31, 1999, for the reported year 
1998, the annual report shall specify the annual average daily loading 
rate over all loading berths, over each loading berth equipped with a 
vapor collection system and control device, and over each loading berth 
not equipped with a vapor collection system and control device. The 
annual average daily loading rate under this section is calculated as 
the total amount of crude oil loaded during the calendar year divided by 
365 days or 366 days, as appropriate.
    (m) The number, duration, and a brief description for each type of 
malfunction which occurred during the reporting period and which caused 
or may have caused any applicable emission limitation to be exceeded 
shall be stated in a semiannual report. The report must also include a 
description of actions taken by an owner or operator during a 
malfunction of an affected source to minimize emissions in accordance 
with Sec.  63.562(e), including actions taken to correct a malfunction. 
The report, to be certified by the owner or operator or other 
responsible official, shall be submitted semiannually and delivered or 
postmarked by the 30th day following the end of each calendar half.
    (n)(1) As of January 1, 2012 and within 60 days after the date of 
completing each performance test, as defined in Sec.  63.2, and as 
required in this subpart, you must submit performance test data, except 
opacity data, electronically to EPA's Central Data Exchange by using the 
ERT (see http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert tool.html/) or other 
compatible electronic spreadsheet. Only data collected using test 
methods compatible with ERT are subject to this requirement to be 
submitted electronically into EPA's WebFIRE database.
    (2) All reports required by this subpart not subject to the 
requirements in paragraph (n)(1) of this section must be sent to the 
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  63.13. If 
acceptable to both the Administrator and the owner or operator of a 
source, these reports may be submitted on electronic media. The 
Administrator retains the right to require submittal of reports subject 
to paragraph (n)(1) of this section in paper format.
