apply:
    (1) A weatherproof and readily visible identification, marked with 
the equipment identification number, shall be attached to the leaking 
equipment.
    (2) The identification on a valve may be removed after it has been 
monitored for 2 successive months as specified in Sec. 60.482-7(c) and 
no leak has been detected during those 2 months.
    (3) The identification on equipment except on a valve, may be 
removed after it has been repaired.
    (c) When each leak is detected as specified in Sec. Sec. 60.482-2,

repair the leak.
    (3) Repair methods applied in each attempt to repair the leak.

the methods specified in Sec. 60.485(a) after each repair attempt is 
equal to or greater than 10,000 ppm.
    (5) ``Repair delayed'' and the reason for the delay if a leak is not 
repaired within 15 calendar days after discovery of the leak.
    (6) The signature of the owner or operator (or designate) whose 
decision it was that repair could not be effected without a process 
shutdown.
    (7) The expected date of successful repair of the leak if a leak is 
not repaired within 15 days.
    (8) Dates of process unit shutdowns that occur while the equipment 
is unrepaired.
    (9) The date of successful repair of the leak.
    (d) The following information pertaining to the design requirements 
for closed vent systems and control devices described in Sec. 60.482-10 
shall be recorded and kept in a readily accessible location:
    (1) Detailed schematics, design specifications, and piping and 
instrumentation diagrams.
    (2) The dates and descriptions of any changes in the design 
specifications.
    (3) A description of the parameter or parameters monitored, as 
required in Sec. 60.482-10(e), to ensure that control devices are 
operated and maintained in conformance with their design and an 
explanation of why that parameter (or parameters) was selected for the 
monitoring.
    (4) Periods when the closed vent systems and control devices 
required in Sec. Sec. 60.482-2, 60.482-3, 60.482-4, and 60.482-5 are 
not operated as designed, including periods when a flare pilot light 
does not have a flame.
    (5) Dates of startups and shutdowns of the closed vent systems and 
control devices required in Sec. Sec. 60.482-2, 60.482-3, 60.482-4, and 
60.482-5.
    (e) The following information pertaining to all equipment subject to 
the requirements in Sec. Sec. 60.482-1 to 60.482-10 shall be recorded 
in a log that is kept in a readily accessible location:
    (1) A list of identification numbers for equipment subject to the 
requirements of this subpart.
    (2)(i) A list of identification numbers for equipment that are 
designated for

no detectable emissions under the provisions of Sec. Sec. 60.482-2(e), 
60.482-3(i) and 60.482-7(f).
    (ii) The designation of equipment as subject to the requirements of 
Sec. 60.482-2(e), Sec. 60.482-3(i), or Sec. 60.482-7(f) shall be 
signed by the owner or operator. Alternatively, the owner or operator 
may establish a mechanism with their permitting authority that satisfies 
this requirement.
