Sec. 60.194  Monitoring of operations.

    (a) The owner or operator of any affected facility subject to the 
provisions of this subpart shall install, calibrate, maintain, and 
operate monitoring devices which can be used to determine daily the 
weight of aluminum and anode produced. The weighing devices shall have 
an accuracy of 5 percent over their operating 
range.
    (b) The owner or operator of any affected facility shall maintain a 
record of daily production rates of aluminum and anodes, raw material 
feed rates, and cell or potline voltages.
    (c) Following the initial performance test as required under Sec. 
60.8(a), an owner or operator shall conduct a performance test at least 
once each month during the life of the affected facility, except when 
malfunctions prevent representative sampling, as provided under Sec. 
60.8(c). The owner or operator shall give the Administrator at least 15 
days advance notice of each test. The Administrator may require 
additional testing under section 114 of the Clean Air Act.
    (d) An owner or operator may petition the Administrator to establish 
an alternative testing requirement that requires testing less frequently 
than once each month for a primary control system or an anode bake 
plant. If the owner or operator show that emissions from the primary 
control system or the anode bake plant have low variability during day-
to-day operations, the Administrator may establish such an alternative 
testing requirement. The alternative testing requirement shall include a 
testing schedule and, in the case of a primary control system, the 
method to be used to determine primary control system emissions for the 
purpose of performance tests. The Administrator shall publish the 
alternative testing requirement in the Federal Register.
    (1) Alternative testing requirements are established for Anaconda 
Aluminum Company's Sebree plant in Henderson, Kentucky: The anode bake 
plant and primary control system are to be tested once a year rather 
than once a month.
    (2) Alternative testing requirements are established for Alumax of 
South Carolina's Mt. Holly Plant in Mt. Holly, South Carolina: The anode 
bake plant and primary control system are to be tested once a year 
rather than once a month.
