Sec. 60.113  Monitoring of operations.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, the owner 
or operator subject to this subpart shall maintain a record of the 
petroleum liquid stored, the period of storage, and the maximum true 
vapor pressure of that liquid during the respective storage period.
    (b) Available data on the typical Reid vapor pressure and the 
maximum expected storage temperature of the stored product may be used 
to determine the maximum true vapor pressure from nomographs contained 
in API Bulletin 2517, unless the Administrator specifically requests 
that the liquid be sampled, the actual storage temperature determined, 
and the Reid vapor pressure determined from the sample(s).
    (c) The true vapor pressure of each type of crude oil with a Reid 
vapor pressure less than 13.8 kPa (2.0 psia) or whose physical 
properties preclude determination by the recommended method is to be 
determined from available data and recorded if the estimated true vapor 
pressure is greater than 6.9 kPa (1.0 psia).
    (d) The following are exempt from the requirements of this section:
    (1) Each owner or operator of each affected facility which stores 
petroleum liquids with a Reid vapor pressure of less than 6.9 kPa (1.0 
psia) provided the maximum true vapor pressure does not exceed 6.9 kPa 
(1.0 psia).
    (2) Each owner or operator of each affected facility equipped with a 
vapor recovery and return or disposal system in accordance with the 
requirements of Sec. 60.112.
