Sec. 60.276  Recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

    (a) Operation at a furnace static pressure that exceeds the value 
established under Sec. 60.274(g) and either operation of control system 
fan motor amperes at values exceeding 15 percent 
of the value established under Sec. 60.274(c) or operation at flow 
rates lower than those established under Sec. 60.274(c) may be 
considered by the Administrator to be unacceptable operation and 
maintenance of the affected facility. Operation at such values shall be 
reported to the Administrator semiannually.
    (b) When the owner or operator of an EAF is required to demonstrate 
compliance with the standard under Sec. 60.275 (b)(2) or a combination 
of (b)(1) and (b)(2), the owner or operator shall obtain approval from 
the Administrator of the procedure(s) that will be used to determine 
compliance. Notification of the procedure(s) to be used must be 
postmarked at least 30 days prior to the performance test.
    (c) For the purpose of this subpart, the owner or operator shall 
conduct the demonstration of compliance with Sec. 60.272(a) of this 
subpart and furnish the Administrator a written report of the results of 
the test. This report shall include the following information:
    (1) Facility name and address;
    (2) Plant representative;
    (3) Make and model of process, control device, and continuous 
monitoring equipment;
    (4) Flow diagram of process and emission capture equipment including 
other equipment or process(es) ducted to the same control device;
    (5) Rated (design) capacity of process equipment;
    (6) Those data required under Sec. 60.274(i) of this subpart;
    (i) List of charge and tap weights and materials;
    (ii) Heat times and process log;
    (iii) Control device operation log; and
    (iv) Continuous opacity monitor or Method 9 data.
    (7) Test dates and test times;
    (8) Test company;
    (9) Test company representative;
    (10) Test observers from outside agency;
    (11) Description of test methodology used, including any deviation 
from standard reference methods
    (12) Schematic of sampling location;
    (13) Number of sampling points;
    (14) Description of sampling equipment;
    (15) Listing of sampling equipment calibrations and procedures;
    (16) Field and laboratory data sheets;
    (17) Description of sample recovery procedures;

[[Page 411]]

    (18) Sampling equipment leak check results;
    (19) Description of quality assurance procedures;
    (20) Description of analytical procedures;
    (21) Notation of sample blank corrections; and
    (22) Sample emission calculations.
    (d) The owner or operator shall maintain records of all shop opacity 
observations made in accordance with Sec. 60.273(d). All shop opacity 
observations in excess of the emission limit specified in Sec. 
60.272(a)(3) of this subpart shall indicate a period of excess emission, 
and shall be reported to the Administrator semi-annually, according to 
Sec. 60.7(c).
    (e) The owner or operator shall maintain the following records for 
each bag leak detection system required under Sec. 60.273(e):
    (1) Records of the bag leak detection system output;
    (2) Records of bag leak detection system adjustments, including the 
date and time of the adjustment, the initial bag leak detection system 
settings, and the final bag leak detection system settings; and
    (3) An identification of the date and time of all bag leak detection 
system alarms, the time that procedures to determine the cause of the 
alarm were initiated, if procedures were initiated within 1 hour of the 
alarm, the cause of the alarm, an explanation of the actions taken, the 
date and time the cause of the alarm was alleviated, and if the alarm 
was alleviated within 3 hours of the alarm.
