Sec. 60.110b  Applicability and designation of affected facility.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the 
affected facility to which this subpart applies is each storage vessel 
with a capacity greater than or equal to 75 cubic meters (m\3\) that is 
used to store volatile organic liquids (VOL) for which construction, 
reconstruction, or modification is commenced after July 23, 1984.
    (b) This subpart does not apply to storage vessels with a capacity 
greater than or equal to 151 m\3\ storing a liquid with a maximum true 
vapor pressure less than 3.5 kilopascals (kPa) or with a capacity 
greater than or equal to 75 m\3\ but less than 151 m\3\ storing a liquid 
with a maximum true vapor pressure less than 15.0 kPa.
    (c) [Reserved]
    (d) This subpart does not apply to the following:
    (1) Vessels at coke oven by-product plants.

[[Page 360]]

    (2) Pressure vessels designed to operate in excess of 204.9 kPa and 
without emissions to the atmosphere.
    (3) Vessels permanently attached to mobile vehicles such as trucks, 
railcars, barges, or ships.
    (4) Vessels with a design capacity less than or equal to 1,589.874 
m\3\ used for petroleum or condensate stored, processed, or treated 
prior to custody transfer.
    (5) Vessels located at bulk gasoline plants.
    (6) Storage vessels located at gasoline service stations.
    (7) Vessels used to store beverage alcohol.
    (8) Vessels subject to subpart GGGG of 40 CFR part 63.
    (e) Alternative means of compliance--(1) Option to comply with part 
65. Owners or operators may choose to comply with 40 CFR part 65,

When choosing to comply with 40 CFR part 65, subpart C, the monitoring 
requirements of Sec. 60.116b(c), (e), (f)(1), and (g) still apply. 
Other provisions applying to owners or operators who choose to comply 
with 40 CFR part 65 are provided in 40 CFR 65.1.
    (i) A storage vessel with a design capacity greater than or equal to 
151 m\3\ containing a VOL that, as stored, has a maximum true vapor 
pressure equal to or greater than 5.2 kPa; or
    (ii) A storage vessel with a design capacity greater than 75 m\3\ 
but less than 151 m\3\ containing a VOL that, as stored, has a maximum 
true vapor pressure equal to or greater than 27.6 kPa.
    (2) Part 60, subpart A. Owners or operators who choose to comply 
with 40 CFR part 65, subpart C, must also comply with Sec. Sec. 60.1, 
60.2, 60.5, 60.6, 60.7(a)(1) and (4), 60.14, 60.15, and 60.16 for those

that are not mentioned in this paragraph (e)(2) do not apply to owners 
or operators of storage vessels complying with 40 CFR part 65, subpart 
C, except that provisions required to be met prior to implementing 40 
CFR part 65 still apply. Owners and operators who choose to comply with 
40 CFR part 65, subpart C, must comply with 40 CFR part 65, subpart A.
    (3) Internal floating roof report. If an owner or operator installs 
an internal floating roof and, at initial startup, chooses to comply 
with 40 CFR part 65, subpart C, a report shall be furnished to the 
Administrator stating that the control equipment meets the 
specifications of 40 CFR 65.43. This report shall be an attachment to 
the notification required by 40 CFR 65.5(b).
    (4) External floating roof report. If an owner or operator installs 
an external floating roof and, at initial startup, chooses to comply 
with 40 CFR part 65, subpart C, a report shall be furnished to the 
Administrator stating that the control equipment meets the 
specifications of 40 CFR 65.44. This report shall be an attachment to
