startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in 
determining compliance and are required, in general, of all sources 
subject to NESHAP.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
5 years following the date of such measurements, maintain reports, and 
records. All reports are sent to the delegated State or Local 
authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the 
reports are sent directly to the EPA Regional Office. This information 
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE 
as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
