Sec. 60.58b(o)(4);
    (4) The specific identification (i.e., the date and time of 
commencement and completion) of each period of excess emissions and 
parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the standard, that 
occurs during startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the affected 
source;
    (5) The specific identification (i.e., the date and time of 
commencement and completion) of each time period of excess emissions and 
parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the standard, that 
occurs during periods other than startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions 
of the affected source;
    (6) The nature and cause of any malfunction (if known);
    (7) The corrective action taken to correct any malfunction or 
preventive measures adopted to prevent further malfunctions;
    (8) The nature of the repairs or adjustments to the continuous 
emission monitoring system that was inoperative or out of control;
    (9) All procedures that are part of a quality control program 
developed and implemented for the continuous emission monitoring system 
under Sec. 60.58b(o);
    (10) When more than one continuous emission monitoring system is 
used to measure the emissions from one affected source (e.g., multiple 
breechings,

[[Page 293]]

multiple outlets), the owner or operator shall report the results as 
required for each continuous emission monitoring system.
    (11) Submit to EPA for approval, the site-specific monitoring plan 
required by Sec. 60.58b(n)(13) and Sec. 60.58b(o), including the site-
specific performance evaluation test plan for the continuous emission 
monitoring system required by Sec. 60.58(b)(o)(5). The owner or 
operator shall maintain copies of the site-specific monitoring plan on 
record for the life of the affected source to be made available for 
inspection, upon request, by the Administrator. If the site-specific 
monitoring plan is revised and approved, the owner or operator shall 
keep previous (i.e., superseded) versions of the plan on record to be 
made available for inspection, upon request, by the Administrator, for a 
period of 5 years after each revision to the plan.
    (12) Submit information concerning all out-of-control periods for 
each continuous emission monitoring system, including start and end 
dates and hours and descriptions of corrective actions taken, in the 
annual or semiannual reports required in paragraphs (g) or (h) of this 
section.
    (o) Additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements for affected 
facilities with continuous automated sampling systems for dioxin/furan 
or mercury monitoring. In addition to complying with the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (a) through (m) of this section, the owner or 
operator of an affected source who elects to install a continuous 
automated sampling system for dioxin/furan or mercury, as specified in 
Sec. 60.58b(p), shall maintain the records in paragraphs (o)(1) through 
(o)(10) of this section and report the information in (o)(11) and 
(o)(12) of this section, relevant to the continuous automated sampling 
system:
    (1) All required 24-hour integrated mercury concentration or 2-week 
integrated dioxin/furan concentration data (including any data obtained 
during unavoidable system breakdowns and out-of-control periods);
    (2) The date and time identifying each period during which the 
continuous automated sampling system was inoperative;
    (3) The date and time identifying each period during which the 
continuous automated sampling system was out of control, as defined in 
Sec. 60.58b(q)(4);
    (4) The specific identification (i.e., the date and time of 
commencement and completion) of each period of excess emissions and 
parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the standard, that 
occurs during startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the affected 
source;
    (5) The specific identification (i.e., the date and time of 
commencement and completion) of each time period of excess emissions and 
parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the standard, that 
occurs during periods other than startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions 
of the affected source;
    (6) The nature and cause of any malfunction (if known);
    (7) The corrective action taken to correct any malfunction or 
preventive measures adopted to prevent further malfunctions;
    (8) The nature of the repairs or adjustments to the continuous 
automated sampling system that was inoperative or out of control;
    (9) All procedures that are part of a quality control program 
developed and implemented for the continuous automated sampling system 
under Sec. 60.58b(q);
    (10) When more than one continuous automated sampling system is used 
to measure the emissions from one affected source (e.g., multiple 
breechings, multiple outlets), the owner or operator shall report the 
results as required for each system.
    (11) Submit to EPA for approval, the site-specific monitoring plan 
required by Sec. 60.58b(p)(11) and Sec. 60.58b(q) including the site-
specific performance evaluation test plan for the continuous emission 
monitoring system required by Sec. 60.58(b)(q)(5). The owner or 
operator shall maintain copies of the site-specific monitoring plan on 
record for the life of the affected source to be made available for 
inspection, upon request, by the Administrator. If the site-specific 
monitoring plan is revised and approved, the owner or operator shall 
keep previous (i.e., superseded) versions of the plan on record to be

made available for inspection, upon request, by the Administrator, for a 
period of 5 years after each revision to the plan.
    (12) Submit information concerning all out-of-control periods for 
each continuous automated sampling system, including start and end dates 
and hours and descriptions of corrective actions taken in the annual or 
semiannual reports required in paragraphs (g) or (h) of this section.
