                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1

    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, July 1, 2002), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

OBSOLETE PROVISIONS

    Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on 
the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text 
of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the 
appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before 
January 1, 1986, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected, 1949-
1963, 1964-1972, or 1973-1985, published in seven separate volumes. For 
the period beginning January 1, 1986, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    Properly approved incorporations by reference in this volume are 
listed in the Finding Aids at the end of this volume.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed in 
the Finding Aids of this volume as an approved incorporation by 
reference, please contact the agency that issued the regulation 
containing that incorporation. If, after contacting the agency, you find 
the material is not available, please notify the Director of the Federal 
Register, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington DC 
20408, or call (202) 523-4534.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory 
Authorities and Agency Rules (Table I). A list of CFR titles, chapters, 
and parts and an alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are 
also included in this volume.
    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.
    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.
    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

[67 FR 40818, June 13, 2002]



Sec. 63.605  Monitoring requirements.

    (a)(1) Each owner or operator of a new or existing wet-process 
phosphoric acid process line or superphosphoric acid process line 
subject to the provisions of this subpart shall install, calibrate, 
maintain, and operate a monitoring system which can be used to determine 
and permanently record the mass flow of phosphorus-bearing feed material 
to the process. The monitoring system shall have an accuracy of 
5 percent over its operating range.
    (2) Each owner or operator of a new or existing phosphate rock dryer 
or phosphate rock calciner subject to the provisions of this subpart 
shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring system 
which can be used to determine and permanently record either the mass 
flow of phosphorus-bearing feed material to the dryer or calciner, or 
the mass flow of product from the dryer or calciner. The monitoring 
system shall have an accuracy of 5 percent over its 
operating range. Since the emissions limits under Secs. 63.602(c) and 
63.603(c) for the phosphate rock dryer are in the format of kilogram/
megagram (lb/ton) of phosphate rock feed, during performance testing 
required in Sec. 63.606, the owner or operator that chooses to operate a 
monitoring system to determine and permanently record the mass flow of 
product from the dryer must either simultaneously monitor the dryer feed 
rate and dryer output rate, or monitor the dryer output rate and the 
dryer input and output moisture contents and calculate the corresponding 
dryer input rate.
    (b)(1) Each owner or operator of a new or existing wet-process 
phosphoric acid process line or superphosphoric acid process line 
subject to the provisions of this subpart shall maintain a daily record 
of equivalent P2O5 feed by first determining the 
total mass rate in metric ton/hour of phosphorus bearing feed using a 
monitoring system for measuring mass flowrate which meets the 
requirements of paragraph (a) of this section and then by proceeding 
according to Sec. 63.606(c)(3).
    (2) Each owner or operator of a new or existing phosphate rock 
calciner or phosphate rock dryer subject to the provisions of this 
subpart shall maintain a daily record of the following:
    (i) For owners and operators that monitor the mass flow of 
phosphorus-bearing feed material to the dryer or calciner, a daily 
record of phosphate rock feed by determining the total mass rate in 
metric ton/hour of phosphorus-bearing feed using a monitoring system for 
measuring mass flowrate which meets the requirements of paragraph (a)(2) 
of this section.
    (ii) For owners and operators that monitor the mass flow of product 
from the dryer or calciner, a daily record of product by determining the 
total mass rate in metric ton/hour of product using a monitoring system 
for measuring mass flowrate which meets the requirements of paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section.
    (c) Each owner or operator of a new or existing wet-process 
phosphoric acid process line, superphosphoric acid process line, 
phosphate rock dryer or phosphate rock calciner using a wet scrubbing 
emission control system shall install, calibrate, maintain, and

[[Page 14]]

operate the following monitoring systems:
    (1) A monitoring system which continuously measures and permanently 
records the pressure drop across each scrubber in the process scrubbing 
system in 15-minute block averages. The monitoring system shall be 
certified by the manufacturer to have an accuracy of 5 
percent over its operating range.
    (2) A monitoring system which continuously measures and permanently 
records the flow rate of the scrubbing liquid to each scrubber in the 
process scrubbing system in 15-minute block averages. The monitoring 
system shall be certified by the manufacturer to have an accuracy of 
5 percent over its operating range.
    (d) Following the date on which the performance test required in 
Sec. 63.606 is completed, the owner or operator of a new or existing 
affected source using a wet scrubbing emission control system and 
subject to emissions limitations for total fluorides or particulate 
matter contained in this subpart must establish allowable ranges for 
operating parameters using the methodology of either paragraph (d)(1) or 
(2) of this section:
    (1) The allowable range for the daily averages of the pressure drop 
across each scrubber and of the flow rate of the scrubbing liquid to 
each scrubber in the process scrubbing system is 20 percent 
of the baseline average value determined as a requirement of 
Sec. 63.606(c)(4), (d)(4), or (e)(2). The Administrator retains the 
right to reduce the 20 percent adjustment to the baseline 
average values of operating ranges in those instances where performance 
test results indicate that a source's level of emissions is near the 
value of an applicable emissions standard, but, in no instance shall the 
adjustment be reduced to less than 10 percent. The owner or 
operator must notify the Administrator of the baseline average value and 
must notify the Administrator each time that the baseline value is 
changed as a result of the most recent performance test. When a source 
using the methodology of this paragraph is retested, the owner or 
operator shall determine whether new allowable ranges of baseline 
average values will be based upon the new performance test or (if the 
new performance test results are within the previously established 
range) whether there will be no change in the operating parameters 
derived from previous tests. When a source using the methodology of this 
paragraph is retested and the performance test results are submitted to 
the Administrator pursuant to Secs. 63.607(c)(1), 63.7(g)(1), and/or 
63.10(d)(2), the owner or operator will indicate whether the operating 
range will be based on the new performance test or the previously 
established range. If the Administrator has not denied approval of the 
new operating ranges within 30 days of submission of the performance 
test results, the new ranges shall be deemed approved and the new 
baseline value shall then be effective on the 31st day following 
submission.
    (2) The owner or operator of any new or existing affected source 
shall establish, and provide to the Administrator for approval, 
allowable ranges for the daily averages of the pressure drop across and 
of the flow rate of the scrubbing liquid to each scrubber in the process 
scrubbing system for the purpose of assuring compliance with this 
subpart. Allowable ranges may be based upon baseline average values 
recorded during previous performance tests using the test methods 
required in Sec. 63.606(c)(4), (d)(4), or (e)(2). As an alternative, the 
owner or operator can establish the allowable ranges using the results 
of performance tests conducted specifically for the purposes of this 
paragraph using the test methods required in this subpart and 
established in the manner required in Sec. 63.606(c)(4), (d)(4), or 
(e)(2). The source shall certify that the control devices and processes 
have not been modified subsequent to the testing upon which the data 
used to establish the allowable ranges were obtained. The allowable 
ranges developed pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph must be 
submitted to the Administrator for approval. The owner or operator must 
request and obtain approval of the Administrator for changes to the 
allowable ranges. When a source using the

[[Page 15]]

methodology of this paragraph is retested, the owner or operator shall 
determine new allowable ranges of baseline average values unless the 
retest indicates no change in the operating parameters outside the 
previously established ranges. If the Administrator has not denied 
approval of the new operating ranges within 30 days of submission of the 
performance test results, the new ranges shall be deemed approved and 
the new baseline value shall then be effective on the 31st day following 
submission.
    (e) Each owner or operator of a new or existing purified phosphoric 
acid process line shall:
    (1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring system 
which continuously measures and permanently records the stack gas exit 
temperature for each chiller stack.
    (2) Measure and record the concentration of methyl isobutyl ketone 
in each product acid stream and each raffinate stream once daily.

to determine and permanently record the mass flow of phosphorus-bearing 
feed material to the process. The monitoring system shall have an 
accuracy of 5 percent over its operating range.
    (b) Each owner or operator of a new or existing diammonium and/or 
monoammonium phosphate process line or granular triple superphosphate 
process line subject to the provisions of this subpart shall maintain a 
daily record of equivalent P2O5 feed by first 
determining the total mass rate in metric ton/hour of phosphorus bearing 
feed using a monitoring system for measuring mass flowrate which meets 
the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section and then by proceeding 
according to Sec. 63.626(c)(3).
    (c) Each owner or operator of a new or existing diammonium and/or 
monoammonium phosphate process line, granular triple superphosphate 
process line, or granular triple superphosphate storage building using a 
wet scrubbing emission control system shall install, calibrate, 
maintain, and operate the following monitoring systems:
    (1) A monitoring system which continuously measures and permanently 
records the pressure drop across each scrubber in the process scrubbing 
system in 15-minute block averages. The monitoring system shall be 
certified by the manufacturer to have an accuracy of 5 
percent over its operating range.
    (2) A monitoring system which continuously measures and permanently 
records the flow rate of the scrubbing liquid to each scrubber in the 
process scrubbing system in 15-minute block averages. The monitoring 
system shall be certified by the manufacturer to have an accuracy of 
5 percent over its operating range.
    (d) The owner or operator of any granular triple superphosphate 
storage building subject to the provisions of this subpart shall 
maintain an accurate account of granular triple superphosphate in 
storage to permit the determination of the amount of equivalent 
P2O5 stored.
    (e)(1) Each owner or operator of a new or existing granular triple 
superphosphate storage building subject to the provisions of this 
subpart shall maintain a daily record of total equivalent 
P2O5 stored by multiplying the percentage 
P2O5 content, as determined by Sec. 63.626(d)(3), 
times the total mass of granular triple superphosphate stored.
    (2) The owner or operator of any granular triple superphosphate 
storage building subject to the provisions of this subpart shall develop 
for approval by the Administrator a site-specific methodology including 
sufficient recordkeeping for the purposes of demonstrating compliance 
with Sec. 63.622(c)(2) or Sec. 63.623(c)(2), as applicable.
    (f) Following the date on which the performance test required in 
Sec. 63.626 is completed, the owner or operator of a new or existing 
affected source using a wet scrubbing emission control system and 
subject to emissions limitations for total fluorides or particulate 
matter contained in this subpart must establish allowable ranges for 
operating parameters using the methodology of either paragraph (f)(1) or 
(2) of this section:
    (1) The allowable range for the daily averages of the pressure drop 
across each scrubber and of the flow rate of the scrubbing liquid to 
each scrubber in the process scrubbing system is 20 percent 
of the baseline average value determined as a requirement of 
Sec. 63.626(c)(4) or (d)(4). The Administrator retains the right to 
reduce the 20 percent adjustment to the baseline average 
values of operating ranges in those instances where performance test 
results indicate that a source's level of

[[Page 23]]

emissions is near the value of an applicable emissions standard, but in 
no instance shall the adjustment be reduced to less than 10 
percent. The owner or operator must notify the Administrator of the 
baseline average value and must notify the Administrator each time that 
the baseline value is changed as a result of the most recent performance 
test. When a source using the methodology of this paragraph is retested, 
the owner or operator shall determine whether new allowable ranges of 
baseline average values will be based upon the new performance test or 
(if the new performance test results are within the previously 
established range) whether there will be no change in the operating 
parameters derived from previous tests. When a source using the 
methodology of this paragraph is retested and the performance test 
results are submitted to the Administrator pursuant to 
Secs. 63.627(c)(1), 63.7(g)(1), and/or 63.10(d)(2), the owner or 
operator will indicate whether the operating range will be based on the 
new performance test or the previously established range. If the 
Administrator has not denied approval of the new operating ranges within 
30 days of submission of the performance test results, the new ranges 
shall be deemed approved and the new baseline value shall then be 
effective on the 31st day following submission.
    (2) The owner or operator of any new or existing affected source 
shall establish, and provide to the Administrator for approval, 
allowable ranges for the daily averages of the pressure drop across and 
of the flow rate of the scrubbing liquid to each scrubber in the process 
scrubbing system for the purpose of assuring compliance with this 
subpart. Allowable ranges may be based upon baseline average values 
recorded during previous performance tests using the test methods 
required in Sec. 63.626(c)(4) or (d)(4). As an alternative, the owner or 
operator can establish the allowable ranges using the results of 
performance tests conducted specifically for the purposes of this 
paragraph using the test methods required in this subpart and 
established in the manner required in Sec. 63.626(c)(4) or (d)(4). The 
source shall certify that the control devices and processes have not 
been modified subsequent to the testing upon which the data used to 
establish the allowable ranges were obtained. The allowable ranges 
developed pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph must be submitted 
to the Administrator for approval. The owner or operator must request 
and obtain approval of the Administrator for changes to the allowable 
ranges. When a source using the methodology of this paragraph is 
retested, the owner or operator shall determine new allowable ranges of 
baseline average values unless the retest indicates no change in the 
operating parameters outside the previously established ranges. If the 
Administrator has not denied approval of the new operating ranges within 
30 days of submission of the performance test results, the new ranges 
shall be deemed approved and the new baseline value shall then be 
effective on the 31st day following submission.

    (e) The owner or operator shall follow the procedures specified in 
paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this section to determine whether a 
storage vessel is part of a source to which this subpart applies.
    (1) Where a storage vessel is used exclusively by a process unit, 
the storage vessel shall be considered part of that process unit.
    (i) If the process unit is a petroleum refining process unit subject 
to this subpart, then the storage vessel is part of the affected source 
to which this subpart applies.
    (ii) If the process unit is not subject to this subpart, then the 
storage vessel is not part of the affected source to which this subpart 
applies.
    (2) If a storage vessel is not dedicated to a single process unit, 
then the applicability of this subpart shall be determined according to 
the provisions in paragraphs (e)(2)(i) through (e)(2)(iii) of this 
section.
    (i) If a storage vessel is shared among process units and one of the 
process units has the predominant use, as determined by paragraphs 
(e)(2)(i)(A) and (e)(2)(i)(B) of this section, then the storage vessel 
is part of that process unit.
    (A) If the greatest input on a volume basis into the storage vessel 
is from a process unit that is located on the same plant site, then that 
process unit has the predominant use.
    (B) If the greatest input on a volume basis into the storage vessel 
is provided from a process unit that is not located on the same plant 
site, then the predominant use shall be the process unit that receives 
the greatest amount of material on a volume basis from the storage 
vessel at the same plant site.
    (ii) If a storage vessel is shared among process units so that there 
is no single predominant use, and at least

[[Page 31]]

one of those process units is a petroleum refining process unit subject 
to this subpart, the storage vessel shall be considered to be part of 
the petroleum refining process unit that is subject to this subpart. If 
more than one petroleum refining process unit is subject to this 
subpart, the owner or operator may assign the storage vessel to any of 
the petroleum refining process units subject to this subpart.
    (iii) If the predominant use of a storage vessel varies from year to 
year, then the applicability of this subpart shall be determined based 
on the utilization of that storage vessel during the year preceding 
promulgation of this subpart. This determination shall be reported as 
specified in Sec. 63.654(h)(6)(ii) of this subpart.
    (f) The owner or operator shall follow the procedures specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(5) of this section to determine whether a 
miscellaneous process vent from a distillation unit is part of a source 
to which this subpart applies.
    (1) If the greatest input to the distillation unit is from a process 
unit located on the same plant site, then the distillation unit shall be 
assigned to that process unit.
    (2) If the greatest input to the distillation unit is provided from 
a process unit that is not located on the same plant site, then the 
distillation unit shall be assigned to the process unit located at the 
same plant site that receives the greatest amount of material from the 
distillation unit.
    (3) If a distillation unit is shared among process units so that 
there is no single predominant use, as described in paragraphs (f)(1) 
and (f)(2) of this section, and at least one of those process units is a 
petroleum refining process unit subject to this subpart, the 
distillation unit shall be assigned to the petroleum refining process 
unit that is subject to this subpart. If more than one petroleum 
refining process unit is subject to this subpart, the owner or operator 
may assign the distillation unit to any of the petroleum refining 
process units subject to this rule.
    (4) If the process unit to which the distillation unit is assigned 
is a petroleum refining process unit subject to this subpart and the 
vent stream contains greater than 20 parts per million by volume total 
organic hazardous air pollutants, then the vent from the distillation 
unit is considered a miscellaneous process vent (as defined in 
Sec. 63.641 of this subpart) and is part of the source to which this 
subpart applies.
    (5) If the predominant use of a distillation unit varies from year 
to year, then the applicability of this subpart shall be determined 
based on the utilization of that distillation unit during the year 
preceding promulgation of this subpart. This determination shall be 
reported as specified in Sec. 63.654(h)(6)(iii).

number of emission points in the source changes.
    (h) The owner or operator of a new source subject to the 
requirements of this subpart shall control emissions of organic HAP's to 
the level represented by the equation in paragraph (g) of this section.

[[Page 44]]

    (i) The owner or operator of an existing source shall demonstrate 
compliance with the emission standard in paragraph (g) of this section 
by following the procedures specified in paragraph (k) of this section 
for all emission points, or by following the emissions averaging 
compliance approach specified in paragraph (l) of this section for 
specified emission points and the procedures specified in paragraph (k) 
of this section for all other emission points within the source.
    (j) The owner or operator of a new source shall demonstrate 
compliance with the emission standard in paragraph (h) of this section 
only by following the procedures in paragraph (k) of this section. The 
owner or operator of a new source may not use the emissions averaging 
compliance approach.
    (k) The owner or operator of an existing source may comply, and the 
owner or operator of a new source shall comply, with the miscellaneous 
process vent provisions in Secs. 63.643 through 63.645, the storage 
vessel provisions in Sec. 63.646, the wastewater provisions in 
Sec. 63.647, the gasoline loading rack provisions in Sec. 63.650, and 
the marine tank vessel loading operation provisions in Sec. 63.651 of 
this subpart.
    (1) The owner or operator using this compliance approach shall also 
comply with the requirements of Sec. 63.654 as applicable.
    (2) The owner or operator using this compliance approach is not 
required to calculate the annual emission rate specified in paragraph 
(g) of this section.
    (l) The owner or operator of an existing source may elect to control 
some of the emission points within the source to different levels than 
specified under Secs. 63.643 through 63.647, Secs. 63.650 and 63.651 by 
using an emissions averaging compliance approach as long as the overall 
emissions for the source do not exceed the emission level specified in 
paragraph (g) of this section. The owner or operator using emissions 
averaging shall meet the requirements in paragraphs (l)(1) and (l)(2) of 
this section.
    (1) Calculate emission debits and credits for those emission points 
involved in the emissions average according to the procedures specified 
in Sec. 63.652; and
    (2) Comply with the requirements of Secs. 63.652, 63.653, and 
63.654, as applicable.
    (m) A State may restrict the owner or operator of an existing source 
to using only the procedures in paragraph (k) of this section to comply 
with the emission standard in paragraph (g) of this section. Such a 
restriction would preclude the source from using an emissions averaging 
compliance approach.

    (a) The owner or operator of a Group 1 miscellaneous process vent as 
defined in Sec. 63.641 shall comply with the requirements of either 
paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section.
    (1) Reduce emissions of organic HAP's using a flare that meets the 
requirements of Sec. 63.11(b) of subpart A of this part.
    (2) Reduce emissions of organic HAP's, using a control device, by 98 
weight-percent or to a concentration of 20 parts per million by volume, 
on a dry basis, corrected to 3 percent oxygen, whichever is less 
stringent. Compliance can be determined by measuring either organic 
HAP's or TOC's using the procedures in Sec. 63.645.
    (b) If a boiler or process heater is used to comply with the 
percentage of reduction requirement or concentration limit specified in 
paragraph (a)(2) of this section, then the vent stream shall be 
introduced into the flame zone of such a device, or in a location such 
that the required percent reduction or concentration is achieved. 
Testing and monitoring is required only as specified in Sec. 63.644(a) 
and Sec. 63.645 of this subpart.



Sec. 63.644  Monitoring provisions for miscellaneous process vents.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each owner 
or operator of a Group 1 miscellaneous process vent that uses a 
combustion device to comply with the requirements in Sec. 63.643(a) 
shall install the monitoring equipment specified in paragraph (a)(1),

[[Page 45]]

(a)(2), (a)(3), or (a)(4) of this section, depending on the type of 
combustion device used. All monitoring equipment shall be installed, 
calibrated, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer's 
specifications or other written procedures that provide adequate 
assurance that the equipment will monitor accurately.
    (1) Where an incinerator is used, a temperature monitoring device 
equipped with a continuous recorder is required.
    (i) Where an incinerator other than a catalytic incinerator is used, 
a temperature monitoring device shall be installed in the firebox or in 
the ductwork immediately downstream of the firebox in a position before 
any substantial heat exchange occurs.
    (ii) Where a catalytic incinerator is used, temperature monitoring 
devices shall be installed in the gas stream immediately before and 
after the catalyst bed.
    (2) Where a flare is used, a device (including but not limited to a 
thermocouple, an ultraviolet beam sensor, or an infrared sensor) capable 
of continuously detecting the presence of a pilot flame is required.
    (3) Any boiler or process heater with a design heat input capacity 
greater than or equal to 44 megawatt or any boiler or process heater in 
which all vent streams are introduced into the flame zone is exempt from 
monitoring.
    (4) Any boiler or process heater less than 44 megawatts design heat 
capacity where the vent stream is not introduced into the flame zone is 
required to use a temperature monitoring device in the firebox equipped 
with a continuous recorder.
    (b) An owner or operator of a Group 1 miscellaneous process vent may 
request approval to monitor parameters other than those listed in 
paragraph (a) of this section. The request shall be submitted according 
to the procedures specified in Sec. 63.654(h). Approval shall be 
requested if the owner or operator:
    (1) Uses a control device other than an incinerator, boiler, process 
heater, or flare; or
    (2) Uses one of the control devices listed in paragraph (a) of this 
section, but seeks to monitor a parameter other than those specified in 
paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) The owner or operator of a Group 1 miscellaneous process vent 
using a vent system that contains bypass lines that could divert a vent 
stream away from the control device used to comply with paragraph (a) of 
this section shall comply with either paragraph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this 
section. Equipment such as low leg drains, high point bleeds, analyzer 
vents, open-ended valves or lines, pressure relief valves needed for 
safety reasons, and equipment subject to Sec. 63.648 are not subject to 
this paragraph.
    (1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a flow indicator that 
determines whether a vent stream flow is present at least once every 
hour. Records shall be generated as specified in Sec. 63.654(h) and (i). 
The flow indicator shall be installed at the entrance to any bypass line 
that could divert the vent stream away from the control device to the 
atmosphere; or
    (2) Secure the bypass line valve in the closed position with a car-
seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. A visual inspection of the 
seal or closure mechanism shall be performed at least once every month 
to ensure that the valve is maintained in the closed position and the 
vent stream is not diverted through the bypass line.
    (d) The owner or operator shall establish a range that ensures 
compliance with the emissions standard for each parameter monitored 
under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section. In order to establish the 
range, the information required in Sec. 63.654(f)(3) shall be submitted 
in the Notification of Compliance Status report.
    (e) Each owner or operator of a control device subject to the 
monitoring provisions of this section shall operate the control device 
in a manner consistent with the minimum and/or maximum operating 
parameter value or procedure required to be monitored under paragraphs 
(a) and (b) of this section. Operation of the control device in a manner 
that constitutes a period of excess emissions, as defined in 
Sec. 63.654(g)(6), or failure to perform procedures required by this 
section shall

[[Page 46]]

constitute a violation of the applicable emission standard of this 
subpart.

shall follow Sec. 63.116 except for Sec. 63.116 (a)(1), (d) and (e) of 
subpart G of this part except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (d) 
and paragraph (i) of this section.
    (b) All references to Sec. 63.113(a)(1) or (a)(2) in Sec. 63.116 of 
subpart G of this part shall be replaced with Sec. 63.643(a)(1) or 
(a)(2), respectively.
    (c) In Sec. 63.116(c)(4)(ii)(C) of subpart G of this part, organic 
HAP's in the list of HAP's in table 1 of this subpart shall be 
considered instead of the organic HAP's in table 2 of subpart F of this 
part.
    (d) All references to Sec. 63.116(b)(1) or (b)(2) shall be replaced 
with paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) of this section, respectively.
    (1) Any boiler or process heater with a design heat input capacity 
of 44 megawatts or greater.
    (2) Any boiler or process heater in which all vent streams are 
introduced into the flame zone.
    (e) For purposes of determining the TOC emission rate, as specified 
under paragraph (f) of this section, the sampling site shall be after 
the last product recovery device (as defined in Sec. 63.641 of this 
subpart) (if any recovery devices are present) but prior to the inlet of 
any control device (as defined in Sec. 63.641 of this subpart) that is 
present, prior to any dilution of the process vent stream, and prior to 
release to the atmosphere.
    (1) Methods 1 or 1A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as appropriate, 
shall be used for selection of the sampling site.
    (2) No traverse site selection method is needed for vents smaller 
than 0.10 meter in diameter.
    (f) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section, an owner or 
operator seeking to demonstrate that a process vent TOC mass flow rate 
is less than 33 kilograms per day for an existing source or less than 
6.8 kilograms per day for a new source in accordance with the Group 2 
process vent definition of this subpart shall determine the TOC mass 
flow rate by the following procedures:
    (1) The sampling site shall be selected as specified in paragraph 
(e) of this section.
    (2) The gas volumetric flow rate shall be determined using Methods 
2, 2A, 2C, or 2D of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as appropriate.
    (3) Method 18 or Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall be 
used to measure concentration; alternatively, any other method or data 
that has been validated according to the protocol in Method 301 of 
appendix A of this part may be used. If Method 25A is used, and the TOC 
mass flow rate calculated from the Method 25A measurement is greater 
than or equal to 33 kilograms per day for an existing source or 6.8 
kilograms per day for a new source, Method 18 may be used to determine

volume concentration:
    (i) The minimum sampling time for each run shall be 1 hour in which 
either an integrated sample or four grab samples shall be taken. If grab 
sampling is used, then the samples shall be taken at approximately equal 
intervals in time, such as 15-minute intervals during the run.
    (ii) The TOC concentration (CTOC) is the sum of the 
concentrations of the individual components and shall be computed for 
each run using the following equation if Method 18 is used:

          kilograms per day.
K2 = Constant, 5.986 x 10-5 (parts per million) 
          -1 (gram-mole per standard cubic meter) (kilogram 
          per gram) (minute per day), where the standard temperature 
          (standard cubic meter) is at 20  deg.C.
Cj=Concentration on a dry basis of organic compound j in 
          parts per million as measured by Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, 
          appendix A, as indicated in paragraph (f)(3) of this section. 
          Cj includes all organic compounds measured minus 
          methane and ethane.
Mj=Molecular weight of organic compound j, gram per gram-
          mole.
Qs=Vent stream flow rate, dry standard cubic meters per 
          minute, at a temperature of 20  deg.C.

    (5) If Method 25A is used, the emission rate of TOC 
(ETOC) shall be calculated using the following equation: -

ETOC=K2CTOCMQs

where:

ETOC=Emission rate of TOC (minus methane and ethane) in the 
          sample, kilograms per day.
K2=Constant, 5.986x10-5 (parts per million) 
          -1 (gram-mole per standard cubic meter) (kilogram 
          per gram)(minute per day), where the standard temperature 
          (standard cubic meter) is at 20  deg.C.
CTOC=Concentration of TOC on a dry basis in parts per million 
          volume as measured by Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
          A, as indicated in paragraph (f)(3) of this section.
M=Molecular weight of organic compound used to express units of 
          CTOC, gram per gram-mole.
Qs=Vent stream flow rate, dry standard cubic meters per 
          minute, at a temperature of 20  deg.C.

    (g) Engineering assessment may be used to determine the TOC emission 
rate for the representative operating condition expected to yield the 
highest daily emission rate.
    (1) Engineering assessment includes, but is not limited to, the 
following:

whenever process changes are made to determine whether the vent is in 
Group 1 or Group 2. Examples of process changes include, but are not 
limited to, changes in production capacity, production rate, or catalyst 
type, or whenever there is replacement, removal, or addition of recovery 
equipment. For purposes of this paragraph, process changes do not 
include: process upsets; unintentional, temporary process changes; and 
changes that are within the range on which the original calculation was 
based.
    (1) The TOC emission rate shall be recalculated based on 
measurements of vent stream flow rate and TOC as specified in paragraphs 
(e) and (f) of this section, as applicable, or on best engineering 
assessment of the effects of the change. Engineering assessments shall 
meet the specifications in paragraph (g) of this section.
    (2) Where the recalculated TOC emission rate is greater than 33 
kilograms per day for an existing source or greater than 6.8 kilograms 
per day for a new source, the owner or operator shall

[[Page 48]]

submit a report as specified in Sec. 63.654 (f), (g), or (h) and shall

monitoring frequency specified in subpart VV or in paragraph (c) of this 
section (such as every 6 weeks instead of monthly or quarterly) are 
minor and do not significantly affect the quality of the data. An 
example of a minor departure is monitoring at a slightly different 
frequency (such as every 6 weeks instead of monthly or quarterly). 
Failure to use a calibrated instrument is not considered a minor 
departure.
    (c) In lieu of complying with the existing source provisions of 
paragraph (a) in this section, an owner or operator may elect to comply 
with the requirements of Secs. 63.161 through 63.169, 63.171, 63.172, 
63.175, 63.176, 63.177, 63.179, and 63.180 of subpart H of this part 
except as provided in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(10) and (e) through 
(i) of this section.
    (1) The instrument readings that define a leak for light liquid 
pumps subject to Sec. 63.163 of subpart H of this part and gas/vapor and 
light liquid valves subject to Sec. 63.168 of subpart H of this part are 
specified in table 2 of this subpart.
    (2) In phase III of the valve standard, the owner or operator may 
monitor valves for leaks as specified in paragraphs (c)(2)(i) or 
(c)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (i) If the owner or operator does not elect to monitor connectors, 
then the owner or operator shall monitor valves according to the 
frequency specified in table 8 of this subpart.
    (ii) If an owner or operator elects to monitor connectors according 
to the provisions of Sec. 63.649, paragraphs (b), (c), or (d), then the 
owner or operator shall monitor valves at the frequencies specified in 
table 9 of this subpart.
    (3) The owner or operator shall decide no later than the first 
required monitoring period after the phase I compliance date specified 
in Sec. 63.640(h) whether to calculate the percentage leaking valves on 
a process unit basis or on a sourcewide basis. Once the owner or 
operator has decided, all subsequent calculations shall be on the same 
basis unless a permit change is made.
    (4) The owner or operator shall decide no later than the first 
monitoring period after the phase III compliance date specified in 
Sec. 63.640(h) whether to monitor connectors according to the provisions 
in Sec. 63.649, paragraphs (b), (c), or (d).
    (5) Connectors in gas/vapor service or light liquid service are 
subject to the requirements for connectors in heavy liquid service in 
Sec. 63.169 of subpart H of this part (except for the agitator 
provisions). The leak definition for valves, connectors, and 
instrumentation systems subject to Sec. 63.169 is 1,000 parts per 
million.
    (6) In phase III of the pump standard, except as provided in 
paragraph (c)(7) of this section, owners or operators that achieve less 
than 10 percent of light liquid pumps leaking or three light liquid 
pumps leaking, whichever is greater, shall monitor light liquid pumps 
monthly.
    (7) Owners or operators that achieve less than 3 percent of light 
liquid pumps leaking or one light liquid pump leaking, whichever is 
greater, shall monitor light liquid pumps quarterly.
    (8) An owner or operator may make the election described in 
paragraphs (c)(3) and (c)(4) of this section at any time except that any 
election to change after the initial election shall be treated as a 
permit modification according to the terms of part 70 of this chapter.
    (9) When complying with the requirements of Sec. 63.168(e)(3)(i), 
non-repairable valves shall be included in the calculation of percent 
leaking valves the first time the valve is identified as leaking and 
non-repairable. Otherwise, a number of non-repairable valves up to a 
maximum of 1 percent per year of the total number of valves in organic 
HAP service up to a maximum of 3 percent may be excluded from 
calculation of percent leaking valves for subsequent monitoring periods. 
When the number of non-repairable valves exceeds 3 percent of the total 
number of valves in organic HAP service, the number of non-repairable 
valves exceeding 3 percent of the total number shall be included in the 
calculation of percent leaking valves.
    (10) If in phase III of the valve standard any valve is designated 
as being leakless, the owner or operator has the option of following the 
provisions of 40 CFR 60.482-7(f). If an owner or operator chooses to 
comply with the provisions

[[Page 51]]

of 40 CFR 60.482-7(f), the valve is exempt from the valve monitoring 
provisions of Sec. 63.168 of subpart H of this part.
    (d) Upon startup of new sources, the owner or operator shall comply 
with Sec. 63.163(a)(1)(ii) of subpart H of this part for light liquid 
pumps and Sec. 63.168(a)(1)(ii) of subpart H of this part for gas/vapor 
and light liquid valves.
    (e) For reciprocating pumps in heavy liquid service and agitators in 
heavy liquid service, owners and operators are not required to comply 
with the requirements in Sec. 63.169 of subpart H of this part.
    (f) Reciprocating pumps in light liquid service are exempt from 
Secs. 63.163 and 60.482 if recasting the distance piece or reciprocating 
pump replacement is required.
    (g) Compressors in hydrogen service are exempt from the requirements 
of paragraphs (a) and (c) of this section if an owner or operator 
demonstrates that a compressor is in hydrogen service.
    (1) Each compressor is presumed not to be in hydrogen service unless 
an owner or operator demonstrates that the piece of equipment is in 
hydrogen service.
    (2) For a piece of equipment to be considered in hydrogen service, 
it must be determined that the percentage hydrogen content can be 
reasonably expected always to exceed 50 percent by volume.
    (i) For purposes of determining the percentage hydrogen content in 
the process fluid that is contained in or contacts a compressor, the 
owner or operator shall use either:
    (A) Procedures that conform to those specified in Sec. 60.593(b)(2) 
of 40 part 60, subpart GGG.
    (B) Engineering judgment to demonstrate that the percentage content 
exceeds 50 percent by volume, provided the engineering judgment 
demonstrates that the content clearly exceeds 50 percent by volume.
    (1) When an owner or operator and the Administrator do not agree on 
whether a piece of equipment is in hydrogen service, the procedures in 
paragraph (g)(2)(i)(A) of this section shall be used to resolve the 
disagreement.
    (2) If an owner or operator determines that a piece of equipment is 
in hydrogen service, the determination can be revised only by following 
the procedures in paragraph (g)(2)(i)(A) of this section.
    (h) Each owner or operator of a source subject to the provisions of 
this subpart must maintain all records for a minimum of 5 years.
    (i) Reciprocating compressors are exempt from seal requirements if 
recasting the distance piece or compressor replacement is required.

Sec. 63.649  Alternative means of emission limitation: Connectors in gas/vapor service and light liquid service.

    (a) If an owner or operator elects to monitor valves according to 
the provisions of Sec. 63.648(c)(2)(ii), the owner or operator shall 
implement one of the connector monitoring programs specified in 
paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) of this section.
    (b) Random 200 connector alternative. The owner or operator shall 
implement a random sampling program for accessible connectors of 2.0 
inches nominal diameter or greater. The program does not apply to 
inaccessible or unsafe-to-monitor connectors, as defined in Sec. 63.174 
of subpart H. The sampling program shall be implemented source-wide.
    (1) Within the first 12 months after the phase III compliance date 
specified in Sec. 63.640(h), a sample of 200 connectors shall be 
randomly selected and monitored using Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A.
    (2) The instrument reading that defines a leak is 1,000 parts per 
million.
    (3) When a leak is detected, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable, but no later than 15 calendar days after the leak is 
detected except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section. A first 
attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 calendar days after the 
leak is detected.
    (4) If a leak is detected, the connector shall be monitored for 
leaks within the first 3 months after its repair.

[[Page 52]]

    (5) After conducting the initial survey required in paragraph (b)(1) 
of this section, the owner or operator shall conduct subsequent 
monitoring of connectors at the frequencies specified in paragraphs 
(b)(5)(i) through (b)(5)(iv) of this section.
    (i) If the percentage leaking connectors is 2.0 percent or greater, 
the owner or operator shall survey a random sample of 200 connectors 
once every 6 months.
    (ii) If the percentage leaking connectors is 1.0 percent or greater 
but less than 2.0 percent, the owner or operator shall survey a random 
sample of 200 connectors once per year.
    (iii) If the percentage leaking connectors is 0.5 percent or greater 
but less than 1.0 percent, the owner or operator shall survey a random 
sample of 200 connectors once every 2 years.
    (iv) If the percentage leaking connectors is less than 0.5 percent, 
the owner or operator shall survey a random sample of 200 connectors 
once every 4 years.
    (6) Physical tagging of the connectors to indicate that they are 
subject to the monitoring provisions is not required. Connectors may be 
identified by the area or length of pipe and need not be individually 
identified.
    (c) Connector inspection alternative. The owner or operator shall 
implement a program to monitor all accessible connectors in gas/vapor 
service that are 2.0 inches (nominal diameter) or greater and inspect 
all accessible connectors in light liquid service that are 2 inches 
(nominal diameter) or greater as described in paragraphs (c)(1) through 
(c)(7) of this section. The program does not apply to inaccessible or 
unsafe-to-monitor connectors.
    (1) Within 12 months after the phase III compliance date specified 
in Sec. 63.640(h), all connectors in gas/vapor service shall be 
monitored using Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60 appendix A. The instrument 
reading that defines a leak is 1,000 parts per million.
    (2) All connectors in light liquid service shall be inspected for 
leaks. A leak is detected if liquids are observed to be dripping at a 
rate greater than three drops per minute.
    (3) When a leak is detected, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable, but no later than 15 calendar days after the leak is 
detected except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section. A first 
attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 calendar days after the 
leak is detected.
    (4) If a leak is detected, connectors in gas/vapor service shall be 
monitored for leaks within the first 3 months after repair. Connectors 
in light liquid service shall be inspected for indications of leaks 
within the first 3 months after repair. A leak is detected if liquids 
are observed to be dripping at a rate greater than three drops per 
minute.
    (5) After conducting the initial survey required in paragraphs 
(c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section, the owner or operator shall conduct 
subsequent monitoring at the frequencies specified in paragraphs 
(c)(5)(i) through (c)(5)(iii) of this section.
    (i) If the percentage leaking connectors is 2.0 percent or greater, 
the owner or operator shall monitor or inspect, as applicable, the 
connectors once per year.
    (ii) If the percentage leaking connectors is 1.0 percent or greater 
but less than 2.0 percent, the owner or operator shall monitor or 
inspect, as applicable, the connectors once every 2 years.
    (iii) If the percentage leaking connectors is less than 1.0 percent, 
the owner or operator shall monitor or inspect, as applicable, the 
connectors once every 4 years.
    (6) The percentage leaking connectors shall be calculated for 
connectors in gas/vapor service and for connectors in light liquid 
service. The data for the two groups of connectors shall not be pooled 
for the purpose of determining the percentage leaking connectors.
    (i) The percentage leaking connectors shall be calculated as 
follows:

% CL=[(CL-CAN)/
Ct+Cc)]x100

where:

% CL=Percentage leaking connectors.
CL=Number of connectors including nonrepairables, measured at 
          1,000 parts per million or greater, by Method 21 of 40 CFR 
          part 60, Appendix A.
CAN=Number of allowable nonrepairable connectors, as 
          determined by monitoring, not to exceed 3 percent of the total 
          connector population, Ct.

[[Page 53]]

Ct=Total number of monitored connectors, including 
          nonrepairables, in the process unit.
Cc=Optional credit for removed connectors=0.67xnet number 
          (i.e., the total number of connectors removed minus the total 
          added) of connectors in organic HAP service removed from the 
          process unit after the applicability date set forth in 
          Sec. 63.640(h)(4)(iii) for existing process units, and after 
          the date of start-up for new process units. If credits are not 
          taken, then Cc=0.

    (ii) Nonrepairable connectors shall be included in the calculation 
of percentage leaking connectors the first time the connector is 
identified as leaking and nonrepairable. Otherwise, a number of 
nonrepairable connectors up to a maximum of 1 percent per year of the 
total number of connectors in organic HAP service up to a maximum of 3 
percent may be excluded from calculation of percentage leaking 
connectors for subsequent monitoring periods.
    (iii) If the number of nonrepairable connectors exceeds 3 percent of 
the total number of connectors in organic HAP service, the number of 
nonrepairable connectors exceeding 3 percent of the total number shall 
be included in the calculation of the percentage leaking connectors.
    (7) Physical tagging of the connectors to indicate that they are 
subject to the monitoring provisions is not required. Connectors may be 
identified by the area or length of pipe and need not be individually 
identified.
    (d) Subpart H program. The owner or operator shall implement a 
program to comply with the provisions in Sec. 63.174 of this part.
    (e) Delay of repair of connectors for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed if repair is not technically feasible by normal repair 
techniques without a process unit shutdown. Repair of this equipment 
shall occur by the end of the next process unit shutdown.
    (1) Delay of repair is allowed for equipment that is isolated from 
the process and that does not remain in organic HAP service.
    (2) Delay of repair for connectors is also allowed if:
    (i) The owner or operator determines that emissions of purged 
material resulting from immediate repair would be greater than the 
fugitive emissions likely to result from delay of repair, and
    (ii) When repair procedures are accomplished, the purged material 
would be collected and destroyed or recovered in a control device.
    (f) Any connector that is designated as an unsafe-to-repair 
connector is exempt from the requirements of paragraphs (b)(3) and 
(b)(4), (c)(3) and (c)(4), or (d) of this section if:
    (1) The owner or operator determines that repair personnel would be 
exposed to an immediate danger as a consequence of complying with 
paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4), (c)(3) and (c)(4), of this section; or
    (2) The connector will be repaired before the end of the next 
scheduled process unit shutdown.
    (g) The owner or operator shall maintain records to document that 
the connector monitoring or inspections have been conducted as required 
and to document repair of leaking connectors as applicable.

Sec. 63.652  Emissions averaging provisions.

    (a) This section applies to owners or operators of existing sources 
who seek to comply with the emission standard in Sec. 63.642(g) by using 
emissions averaging according to Sec. 63.642(l) rather than following 
the provisions of Secs. 63.643 through 63.647, and Secs. 63.650 and 
63.651. Existing marine tank vessel loading operations unable to comply 
with the standard by using emissions averaging are those marine tank 
vessels subject to 40 CFR 63.562(e) of this part and the Valdez Marine 
Terminal source.
    (b) The owner or operator shall develop and submit for approval an 
Implementation Plan containing all of the information required in 
Sec. 63.653(d) for all points to be included in an emissions average. 
The Implementation Plan shall identify all emission points to be 
included in the emissions average. This must include any Group 1 
emission points to which the reference control technology (defined in 
Sec. 63.641) is not applied and all other emission points being 
controlled as part of the average.
    (c) The following emission points can be used to generate emissions 
averaging credits if control was applied after November 15, 1990 and if 
sufficient information is available to determine the appropriate value 
of credits for the emission point:
    (1) Group 2 emission points;
    (2) Group 1 storage vessels, Group 1 wastewater streams, Group 1 
gasoline loading racks, Group 1 marine tank vessels, and Group 1 
miscellaneous process vents that are controlled by a technology that the 
Administrator or permitting authority agrees has a higher nominal 
efficiency than the reference control technology. Information on the 
nominal efficiencies for such technologies must be submitted and 
approved as provided in paragraph (i) of this section; and
    (3) Emission points from which emissions are reduced by pollution 
prevention measures. Percentages of reduction for pollution prevention 
measures shall be determined as specified in paragraph (j) of this 
section.
    (i) For a Group 1 emission point, the pollution prevention measure 
must reduce emissions more than the reference control technology would 
have had the reference control technology been applied to the emission 
point instead of the pollution prevention measure except as provided in 
paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) If a pollution prevention measure is used in conjunction with 
other controls for a Group 1 emission point, the pollution prevention 
measure alone does not have to reduce emissions more than the reference 
control technology, but the combination of the pollution prevention 
measure and other controls must reduce emissions more than the reference 
control technology would have had it been applied instead.
    (d) The following emission points cannot be used to generate 
emissions averaging credits:
    (1) Emission points already controlled on or before November 15, 
1990 unless the level of control is increased after November 15, 1990, 
in which case credit will be allowed only for the increase in control 
after November 15, 1990;
    (2) Group 1 emission points that are controlled by a reference 
control technology unless the reference control technology has been 
approved for use in a different manner and a higher nominal efficiency 
has been assigned according to the procedures in paragraph (i) of this 
section. For example, it is not allowable to claim that an internal 
floating roof meeting only the specifications stated in the reference 
control technology definition in Sec. 63.641

[[Page 55]]

(i.e., that meets the specifications of Sec. 63.119(b) of subpart G but 
does not have controlled fittings per Sec. 63.119 (b)(5) and (b)(6) of 
subpart G) applied to a storage vessel is achieving greater than 95 
percent control;
    (3) Emission points on shutdown process units. Process units that 
are shut down cannot be used to generate credits or debits;
    (4) Wastewater that is not process wastewater or wastewater streams 
treated in biological treatment units. These two types of wastewater 
cannot be used to generate credits or debits. Group 1 wastewater streams 
cannot be left undercontrolled or uncontrolled to generate debits. For 
the purposes of this section, the terms ``wastewater'' and ``wastewater 
stream'' are used to mean process wastewater; and
    (5) Emission points controlled to comply with a State or Federal 
rule other than this subpart, unless the level of control has been 
increased after November 15, 1990 above what is required by the other 
State or Federal rule. Only the control above what is required by the 
other State or Federal rule will be credited. However, if an emission 
point has been used to generate emissions averaging credit in an 
approved emissions average, and the point is subsequently made subject 
to a State or Federal rule other than this subpart, the point can 
continue to generate emissions averaging credit for the purpose of 
complying with the previously approved average.
    (e) For all points included in an emissions average, the owner or 
operator shall:
    (1) Calculate and record monthly debits for all Group 1 emission 
points that are controlled to a level less stringent than the reference 
control technology for those emission points. Equations in paragraph (g) 
of this section shall be used to calculate debits.
    (2) Calculate and record monthly credits for all Group 1 or Group 2 
emission points that are overcontrolled to compensate for the debits. 
Equations in paragraph (h) of this section shall be used to calculate 
credits. Emission points and controls that meet the criteria of 
paragraph (c) of this section may be included in the credit calculation, 
whereas those described in paragraph (d) of this section shall not be 
included.
    (3) Demonstrate that annual credits calculated according to 
paragraph (h) of this section are greater than or equal to debits 
calculated for the same annual compliance period according to paragraph 
(g) of this section.
    (i) The initial demonstration in the Implementation Plan that 
credit-generating emission points will be capable of generating 
sufficient credits to offset the debits from the debit-generating 
emission points must be made under representative operating conditions.
    (ii) After the compliance date, actual operating data will be used 
for all debit and credit calculations.
    (4) Demonstrate that debits calculated for a quarterly (3-month) 
period according to paragraph (g) of this section are not more than 1.30 
times the credits for the same period calculated according to paragraph 
(h) of this section. Compliance for the quarter shall be determined 
based on the ratio of credits and debits from that quarter, with 30 
percent more debits than credits allowed on a quarterly basis.
    (5) Record and report quarterly and annual credits and debits in the 
Periodic Reports as specified in Sec. 63.654(g)(8). Every fourth 
Periodic Report shall include a certification of compliance with the 
emissions averaging provisions as required by Sec. 63.654(g)(8)(iii).
    (f) Debits and credits shall be calculated in accordance with the 
methods and procedures specified in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this 
section, respectively, and shall not include emissions from the 
following:
    (1) More than 20 individual emission points. Where pollution 
prevention measures (as specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this section) 
are used to control emission points to be included in an emissions 
average, no more than 25 emission points may be included in the average. 
For example, if two emission points to be included in an emissions 
average are controlled by pollution prevention measures, the average may 
include up to 22 emission points.
    (2) Periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction as described in 
the

[[Page 56]]

source's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan required by 
Sec. 63.6(e)(3) of subpart A of this part.
    (3) For emission points for which continuous monitors are used, 
periods of excess emissions as defined in Sec. 63.654(g)(6)(i). For 
these periods, the calculation of monthly credits and debits shall be 
adjusted as specified in paragraphs (f)(3)(i) through (f)(3)(iii) of 
this section.
    (i) No credits would be assigned to the credit-generating emission 
point.
    (ii) Maximum debits would be assigned to the debit-generating 
emission point.
    (iii) The owner or operator may use the procedures in paragraph (l) 
of this section to demonstrate to the Administrator that full or partial 
credits or debits should be assigned.
    (g) Debits are generated by the difference between the actual 
emissions from a Group 1 emission point that is uncontrolled or is 
controlled to a level less stringent than the reference control 
technology, and the emissions allowed for Group 1 emission point. Debits 
shall be calculated as follows:
    (1) The overall equation for calculating sourcewide debits is:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR18AU95.002
    
where:

Debits and all terms of the equation are in units of megagrams per 
          month, and
EPViACTUAL=Emissions from each Group 1 miscellaneous process 
          vent i that is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less 
          stringent than the reference control technology. This is 
          calculated according to paragraph (g)(2) of this section.
(0.02) EPViu=Emissions from each Group 1 miscellaneous 
          process vent i if the reference control technology had been 
          applied to the uncontrolled emissions, calculated according to 
          paragraph (g)(2) of this section.
ESiACTUAL=Emissions from each Group 1 storage vessel i that 
          is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less stringent 
          than the reference control technology. This is calculated 
          according to paragraph (g)(3) of this section.
(0.05) ESiu=Emissions from each Group 1 storage vessel i if 
          the reference control technology had been applied to the 
          uncontrolled emissions, calculated according to paragraph 
          (g)(3) of this section.
EGLRiACTUAL=Emissions from each Group 1 gasoline loading rack 
          i that is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less 
          stringent than the reference control technology. This is 
          calculated according to paragraph (g)(4) of this section.
EGLRic=Emissions from each Group 1 gasoline loading rack i if 
          the reference control technology had been applied to the 
          uncontrolled emissions. This is calculated according to 
          paragraph (g)(4) of this section.
EMVACTUAL=Emissions from each Group 1 marine tank vessel i 
          that is uncontrolled or is controlled to a level less

          stream i, parts per million by weight.

    (A) HAPim shall be determined for the point of generation 
or at a location downstream of the point of generation. Wastewater 
samples shall be collected using the sampling procedures specified in 
Method 25D of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. Where feasible, samples shall 
be taken from an enclosed pipe prior to the wastewater being exposed to 
the atmosphere. When sampling from an enclosed pipe is not feasible, a 
minimum of three representative samples shall be collected in a manner 
to minimize exposure of the sample to the atmosphere and loss of organic 
HAP's prior to sampling. The samples collected may be analyzed by either 
of the following procedures:
    (1) A test method or results from a test method that measures 
organic HAP concentrations in the wastewater, and that has been 
validated pursuant to section 5.1 or 5.3 of Method 301 of appendix A of 
this part may be used; or
    (2) Method 305 of appendix A of this part may be used to determine 
Cim, the average volatile organic HAP concentration of 
organic HAP m in wastewater stream i, and then HAPim may be 
calculated using the following equation: 
HAPim=Cim/Fmm, where Fmm for 
organic HAP m is obtained from table 7 of this subpart.
    (B) Values for Qi, HAPim, and Cim 
shall be determined during a performance

[[Page 66]]

test conducted under representative conditions. The average value 
obtained from three test runs shall be used. The values of 
Qi, HAPim, and Cim shall be established 
in the Notification of Compliance Status report and must be updated as 
provided in paragraph (h)(6)(i)(C) of this section.
    (C) If there is a change to the process or operation such that the 
previously measured values of Qi, HAPim, and 
Cim are no longer representative, a new performance test 
shall be conducted to determine new representative values of 
Qi, HAPim, and Cim. These new values 
shall be used to calculate debits and credits from the time of the 
change forward, and the new values shall be reported in the next 
Periodic Report.
    (iii) The following equations shall be used to calculate 
EWW1iACTUAL for each Group 1 wastewater stream i that is 
correctly suppressed and is treated to a level more stringent than the 
reference control technology.
    (A) If the Group 1 wastewater stream i is controlled using a 
treatment process or series of treatment processes with an approved 
nominal reduction efficiency for an individually speciated HAP that is 
greater than that specified in table 7 of this subpart, and the vapor 
control device achieves a percentage of reduction equal to 95 percent, 
the following equation shall be used:

          per million by weight, as defined and determined according to 
          paragraph (h)(6)(ii)(A) of this section, in the wastewater 
          entering the first treatment process in the series.
HAPim[hyphen]out=Average concentration of organic HAP m, 
          parts per million by weight, as defined and determined 
          according to paragraph (h)(6)(ii)(A) of this section, in the 
          wastewater exiting the last treatment process in the series.


All other terms are as defined and determined in paragraph (h)(6)(ii) of 
this section.
    (B) If the Group 1 wastewater stream i is not controlled using a 
treatment process or series of treatment processes with an approved 
nominal reduction efficiency for an individually speciated HAP that is 
greater than that specified in table 7 of this subpart, but the vapor 
control device has an approved nominal efficiency greater than 95 
percent, the following equation shall be used:

    (1) If a steam stripper meeting the specifications in the definition 
of reference control technology for wastewater is used, Am 
shall be equal to the value of Frm given in table 7 of this 
subpart.
    (2) If an alternative control device is used, the percentage of 
reduction must be determined using the equation and methods specified in 
paragraph (h)(6)(iii)(A) of this section for determining 
PRim. If the value of PRim is greater than or 
equal to the value of Frm given in table 7 of this subpart, 
then Am equals Frm unless a higher nominal 
efficiency has been approved. If a higher nominal efficiency has been 
approved for the treatment process, the owner or operator shall 
determine EWW1iACTUAL according to paragraph (h)(6)(iii)(B) 
of this section rather than paragraph (h)(6)(iii)(A) of this section. If 
PRim is less than the value of FRm given in table 
7 of this subpart, emissions averaging shall not be used for this 
emission point.
    (C) If the Group 1 wastewater stream i is controlled using a 
treatment process or series of treatment processes with an approved

    (v) The following equation shall be used to calculate 
EWW2iBASE for each Group 2 wastewater stream i on November 
15, 1990 was correctly suppressed. EWW2iBASE shall be 
calculated as if the control methods being used on November 15, 1990 are 
in place and any control methods applied after November 15, 1990 are

    (ii) The organic concentration in the vent stream entering and 
exiting the control device shall be determined using Method 18 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A. Alternatively, any other test method validated

[[Page 69]]

assigned to the reference control technologies in Sec. 63.641.
    (1) In those cases where the owner or operator is seeking permission 
to take credit for use of a control technology that is different in use 
or design from the reference control technology, and the different 
control technology will be used in more than three applications at a 
single plant site, the owner or operator shall submit the information 
specified in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) through (i)(1)(iv) of this section to 
the Administrator in writing:
    (i) Emission stream characteristics of each emission point to which 
the control technology is or will be applied including the kind of 
emission point, flow, organic HAP concentration, and all other stream 
characteristics necessary to design the control technology or determine 
its performance;
    (ii) Description of the control technology including design 
specifications;
    (iii) Documentation demonstrating to the Administrator's

calculations shall be documented; and
    (iv) A description of the parameter or parameters to be monitored to 
ensure that the control technology will be operated in conformance with 
its design and an explanation of the criteria used for selection of that 
parameter (or parameters).
    (2) The Administrator shall determine within 120 calendar days 
whether an application presents sufficient information to determine 
nominal efficiency. The Administrator reserves the right to request 
specific data in addition to the items listed in paragraph (i)(1) of 
this section.
    (3) The Administrator shall determine within 120 calendar days of 
the submittal of sufficient data whether a control technology shall have 
a nominal efficiency and the level of that nominal efficiency. If, in 
the Administrator's judgment, the control technology achieves a level of 
emission reduction greater than the reference control technology for a 
particular kind of emission point, the Administrator will publish a 
Federal Register notice establishing a nominal efficiency for the 
control technology.
    (4) The Administrator may grant conditional permission to take 
emission credits for use of the control technology on requirements that 
may be necessary to ensure operation and maintenance to achieve the 
specified nominal efficiency.
    (5) In those cases where the owner or operator is seeking permission 
to take credit for use of a control technology that is different in use 
or design from the reference control technology and the different 
control technology will be used in no more than three applications at a 
single plant site, the information listed in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) 
through (i)(1)(iv) of this section can be submitted to the permitting 
authority for the source for approval instead of the Administrator.
    (i) In these instances, use and conditions for use of the control 
technology can be approved by the permitting authority. The permitting 
authority shall follow the procedures specified in paragraphs (i)(2) 
through (i)(4) of this section except that, in these instances, a 
Federal Register notice is not required to establish the nominal 
efficiency for the different technology.
    (ii) If, in reviewing the submittal, the permitting authority 
believes the control technology has broad applicability for use by other 
sources, the permitting authority shall submit the information provided 
in the application to the Director of the EPA Office of Air Quality 
Planning and Standards. The Administrator shall review the technology 
for broad applicability and may publish a Federal Register notice; 
however, this review shall not affect the permitting authority's 
approval of the nominal efficiency of the control technology for the 
specific application.
    (6) If, in reviewing an application for a control technology for an 
emission point, the Administrator or permitting authority determines the 
control technology is not different in use or design from the reference 
control technology,

[[Page 70]]

the Administrator or permitting authority shall deny the application.
    (j) The following procedures shall be used for calculating the 
efficiency (percentage of reduction) of pollution prevention measures:
    (1) A pollution prevention measure is any practice that meets the 
criteria of paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and (j)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) A pollution prevention measure is any practice that results in a 
lesser quantity of organic HAP emissions per unit of product released to 
the atmosphere prior to out-of-process recycling, treatment, or control 
of emissions while the same product is produced.
    (ii) Pollution prevention measures may include: Substitution of 
feedstocks that reduce HAP emissions, alterations to the production 
process to reduce the volume of materials released to the environment, 
equipment modifications; housekeeping measures, and in-process recycling 
that returns waste materials directly to production as raw materials. 
Production cutbacks do not qualify as pollution prevention.
    (2) The emission reduction efficiency of pollution prevention 
measures implemented after November 15, 1990 can be used in calculating 
the actual emissions from an emission point in the debit and credit 
equations in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this section.
    (i) For pollution prevention measures, the percentage of reduction 
used in the equations in paragraphs (g)(2) and (g)(3) of this section 
and paragraphs (h)(2) through (h)(4) of this section is the difference 
in percentage between the monthly organic HAP emissions for each 
emission point after the pollution prevention measure for the most 
recent month versus monthly emissions from the same emission point 
before the pollution prevention measure, adjusted by the volume of 
product produced during the two monthly periods.
    (ii) The following equation shall be used to calculate the 
percentage of reduction of a pollution prevention measure for each 
emission point.

Where:

Percent reduction=Efficiency of pollution prevention measure (percentage 
          of organic HAP reduction).
EB=Monthly emissions before the pollution prevention measure, 
          megagrams per month, determined as specified in paragraphs 
          (j)(2)(ii)(A), (j)(2)(ii)(B), and (j)(2)(ii)(C) of this 
          section.
Epp=Monthly emissions after the pollution prevention measure, 
          megagrams per month, as determined for the most recent month, 
          determined as specified in paragraphs (j)(2)(ii)(D) or 
          (j)(2)(ii)(E) of this section.
PB=Monthly production before the pollution prevention 
          measure, megagrams per month, during the same period over 
          which EB is calculated.
Ppp=Monthly production after the pollution prevention 
          measure, megagrams per month, as determined for the most 
          recent month.

    (A) The monthly emissions before the pollution prevention measure, 
EB, shall be determined in a manner consistent with the 
equations and procedures in paragraphs (g)(2), (g)(3), (g)(4), and 
(g)(5) of this section for miscellaneous process vents, storage vessels, 
gasoline loading racks, and marine tank vessels.
    (B) For wastewater, EB shall be calculated as follows:

          table 7 of this subpart, dimensionless.
HAPBim=Average concentration of organic HAP m in wastewater 
          stream i, defined and determined according to paragraph 
          (h)(6)(ii)(A)(2) of this section, before the pollution 
          prevention measure, parts per million by weight, as measured 
          before the implementation of the pollution measure.

    (C) If the pollution prevention measure was implemented prior to 
July 14, 1994, records may be used to determine EB.
    (D) The monthly emissions after the pollution prevention measure, 
Epp, may be determined during a performance test or by a 
design evaluation and documented engineering calculations. Once an 
emissions-to-production ratio has been established, the ratio can be 
used to estimate monthly emissions from monthly production records.
    (E) For wastewater, Epp shall be calculated using the 
following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR18AU95.038


where n, Q, H, s, Fem, and HAP are defined and determined as 
described in paragraph (j)(2)(ii)(B) of this section except that 
Qppi, Hppi, and HAPppim shall be 
determined after the pollution prevention measure has been implemented.
    (iii) All equations, calculations, test procedures, test results, 
and other information used to determine the percentage of reduction 
achieved by a pollution prevention measure for each emission point shall 
be fully documented.
    (iv) The same pollution prevention measure may reduce emissions from 
multiple emission points. In such cases, the percentage of reduction in 
emissions for each emission point must be calculated.
    (v) For the purposes of the equations in paragraphs (h)(2) through 
(h)(6) of this section used to calculate credits for emission points 
controlled more stringently than the reference control technology, the 
nominal efficiency of a pollution prevention measure is equivalent to 
the percentage of reduction of the pollution prevention measure. When a 
pollution prevention measure is used, the owner or operator of a source 
is not required to apply to the Administrator for a nominal efficiency 
and is not subject to paragraph (i) of this section.
    (k) The owner or operator shall demonstrate that the emissions from 
the emission points proposed to be included in the average will not 
result in greater hazard or, at the option of the State or local 
permitting authority, greater risk to human health or the environment 
than if the emission points were controlled according to the provisions 
in Secs. 63.643 through 63.647, and Secs. 63.650 and 63.651.
    (1) This demonstration of hazard or risk equivalency shall be made 
to the satisfaction of the State or local permitting authority.

[[Page 72]]

    (i) The State or local permitting authority may require owners and 
operators to use specific methodologies and procedures for making a 
hazard or risk determination.

    (3) An emissions averaging plan that does not demonstrate an 
equivalent or lower hazard or risk to the satisfaction of the State or 
local permitting authority shall not be approved. The State or local 
permitting authority may require such adjustments to the emissions 
averaging plan as are necessary in order to ensure that the average will 
not result in greater hazard or risk to human health or the environment 
than would result if the emission points were controlled according to 
Secs. 63.643 through 63.647, and Secs. 63.650 and 63.651.
    (4) A hazard or risk equivalency demonstration shall:
    (i) Be a quantitative, bona fide chemical hazard or risk assessment;
    (ii) Account for differences in chemical hazard or risk to human 
health or the environment; and
    (iii) Meet any requirements set by the State or local permitting 
authority for such demonstrations.
    (l) For periods of excess emissions, an owner or operator may 
request that the provisions of paragraphs (l)(1) through (l)(4) of this 
section be followed instead of the procedures in paragraphs (f)(3)(i) 
and (f)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator of excess 
emissions in the Periodic Reports as required in Sec. 63.654(g)(6).
    (2) The owner or operator shall demonstrate that other types of 
monitoring data or engineering calculations are appropriate to establish 
that the control device for the emission point was operating in such a 
fashion to warrant assigning full or partial credits and debits. This 
demonstration shall be made to the Administrator's satisfaction, and the 
Administrator may establish procedures for demonstrating compliance that 
are acceptable.
    (3) The owner or operator shall provide documentation of the period 
of excess emissions and the other type of monitoring data or engineering 
calculations to be used to demonstrate that the control device for the 
emission point was operating in such a fashion to warrant assigning full 
or partial credits and debits.
    (4) The Administrator may assign full or partial credit and debits 
upon review of the information provided.

    (i) The monitoring system shall measure data values at least once 
every hour.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall record either:
    (A) Each measured data value; or
    (B) Block average values for 1 hour or shorter periods calculated 
from all measured data values during each period. If values are measured 
more frequently than once per minute, a single value for each minute may 
be used to calculate the hourly (or shorter period) block average 
instead of all measured values.
    (iii) Daily average values of each continuously monitored parameter 
shall be calculated for each operating day and retained for 5 years 
except as specified in paragraph (i)(3)(iv) of this section.
    (A) The daily average shall be calculated as the average of all 
values for a monitored parameter recorded during the operating day. The 
average shall cover a 24-hour period if operation is continuous, or the 
number of hours of operation per day if operation is not continuous.
    (B) The operating day shall be the period defined in the 
Notification of Compliance Status report. It may be from midnight to 
midnight or another daily period.
    (iv) If all recorded values for a monitored parameter during an 
operating day are within the range established in the Notification of 
Compliance Status report, the owner or operator may record that all 
values were within the range and retain this record for 5 years rather 
than calculating and recording a daily average for that day. For these 
days, the records required in paragraph (i)(3)(ii) of this section shall 
also be retained for 5 years.
    (v) Monitoring data recorded during periods of monitoring system 
breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and zero (low-level) and high-
level adjustments shall not be included in any average computed under 
this subpart. Records shall be kept of the times and durations of all 
such periods and any other periods during process or control device 
operation when monitors are not operating.

this section that is located at the plant site, the affected source is 
the entire group of off-site material management units associated with 
the operation. An off-site material management unit is a tank, 
container, surface impoundment, oil-water separator, organic-water 
separator, or transfer system used to manage off-site material. For the 
purpose of implementing the standards under this subpart, a unit that 
meets the definition of a tank or container but also is equipped with a 
vent that serves as a process vent for any of the processes listed in 
paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(vi) of this section is not an off-
site material management unit but instead is a process vent and is to be 
included in the appropriate affected source group under paragraph (c)(2) 
of this section. Examples of such a unit may include, but are not 
limited to, a distillate receiver vessel, a primary condenser, a bottoms 
receiver vessel, a surge control tank, a separator tank, and a hot well.
    (2) Process vents. For each operation specified in paragraphs 
(a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(vi) of this section that is located at the

(c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(vi) of this section.
    (i) Distillation process used for the treatment, recycling, or 
recovery of

[[Page 94]]

off-site material. Distillation means a process, either batch or 
continuous, separating one or more off-site material feed streams into 
two or more exit streams having different component concentrations from 
those in the feed stream or streams. The separation is achieved by the 
redistribution of the components between the liquid and vapor phases as 
they approach equilibrium within the distillation unit.
    (ii) Fractionation process used for the treatment, recycling, or 
recovery of off-site material. Fractionation means a liquid mixture 
separation process or method used to separate a mixture of several 
volatile components of different boiling points in successive stages, 
each stage removing from the mixture some proportion of one of the 
components.
    (iii) Thin-film evaporation process used for the treatment, 
recycling, or recovery of off-site material. Thin-film evaporation means 
a liquid mixture separation process or method that uses a heating 
surface consisting of a large diameter tube that may be either straight 
or tapered, horizontal or vertical. Liquid is spread on the tube wall by 
a rotating assembly of blades that maintain a close clearance from the 
wall or actually ride on the film of liquid on the wall.
    (iv) Solvent extraction process used for the treatment, recycling, 
or recovery of off-site material. Solvent extraction means a separation 
process or method in which a solid or a solution is contacted with a 
liquid solvent (the material and the solvent being relatively insoluble 
in each other) to preferentially dissolve and transfer one or more 
components into the solvent.
    (v) Steam stripping process used for the treatment, recycling, or 
recovery of off-site material. Steam stripping means a liquid mixture 
separation process or method in which vaporization of the volatile 
components of a liquid mixture occurs by the introduction of steam 
directly into the process.
    (vi) Gas stripping process used for the treatment, recycling, or 
recovery of off-site material. Gas stripping means a desorption process 
or method used to transfer one or more volatile components from a liquid 
mixture into a gas stream either with or without the application of heat 
to the liquid. Packed towers, spray towers, and bubble-cap, sieve, or 
valve-type plate towers are examples of the process configurations used 
for contacting the gas and a liquid.
    (3) Equipment leaks. For each operation specified in paragraphs 
(a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(vi) of this section that is located at the 
plant site, the affected source is the entire group of equipment 
components for which each component meets all of the conditions 
specified in paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this section. 
If any one of these conditions do not apply to an equipment component, 
then that component is not part of the affected source for equipment 
leaks.
    (i) The equipment component is a pump, compressor, agitator, 
pressure relief device, sampling connection system, open-ended valve or 
line, valve, connector, or instrumentation system;
    (ii) The equipment component contains or contacts off-site material 
having a total HAP concentration equal to or greater than 10 percent by 
weight; and
    (iii) The equipment component is intended to operate for 300 hours 
or more during a calendar year in off-site material service, as defined 
in Sec. 63.681 of this subpart.
    (d) Facility-wide exemption. The owner or operator of affected 
sources subject to this subpart is exempted from the requirements of 
Secs. 63.682 through 63.699 of this subpart in situations when the total 
annual quantity of the HAP that is contained in the off-site material 
received at the plant site is less than 1 megagram per year. For a plant 
site to be exempted under the provisions of this paragraph (d), the 
owner or operator must meet the requirements in paragraphs (d)(1) 
through (d)(3) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator must prepare an initial determination of 
the total annual HAP quantity in the off-site material received at the 
plant site. This determination is based on the total quantity of the HAP 
listed in Table 1 of this subpart as determined at the point-of-delivery 
for each off-site material stream.
    (2) The owner or operator must prepare a new determination whenever 
the

[[Page 95]]

extent of changes to the quantity or composition of the off-site 
material received at the plant site could cause the total annual HAP 
quantity in the off-site material received at the plant site to exceed 
the limit of 1 megagram per year.
    (3) The owner or operator must maintain documentation to support the 
owner's or operator's determination of the total annual HAP quantity in 
the off-site material received at the plant site. This documentation 
must include the basis and data used for determining the HAP content of 
the off-site material.
    (e) Compliance dates. (1) Existing sources. The owner or operator of 
an affected source that commenced construction or reconstruction before 
October 13, 1994, must achieve compliance with the provisions of this 
subpart on or before the date specified in paragraph (e)(1)(i) or 
(e)(1)(ii) of this section as applicable to the affected source.
    (i) For an affected source that commenced construction or 
reconstruction before October 13, 1994 and receives off-site material 
for the first time before February 1, 2000, the owner or operator of 
this affected source must achieve compliance with the provisions of the 
subpart on or before February 1, 2000 unless an extension has been 
granted by the Administrator as provided in 40 CFR 63.6(i).
    (ii) For an affected source that commenced construction or 
reconstruction before October 13, 1994, but receives off-site material 
for the first time on or after February 1, 2000, the owner or operator 
of the affected source must achieve compliance with the provisions of 
this subpart upon the first date that the affected source begins to 
manage off-site material.
    (2) New sources. The owner or operator of an affected source for 
which construction or reconstruction commences on or after October 13, 
1994, must achieve compliance with the provisions of this subpart on or 
before July 1, 1996, or upon initial startup of operations, whichever 
date is later as provided in 40 CFR 63.6(b).

wastewater streams or residuals to a waste management unit or to 
discharge or disposal. The term includes hard-piping, all drains and 
junction boxes, together with their associated sewer lines and other 
junction boxes (e.g., manholes, sumps, and lift stations) conveying 
wastewater streams or residuals. For the purpose of this subpart, an

temperature as reported by the National Weather Service when the off-
site material is stored or treated at ambient temperature; or

[[Page 97]]

the highest calendar-month average temperature of the off-site material 
when the off-site material is stored at temperatures above the ambient 
temperature or when the off-site material is stored or treated at

subpart, maximum HAP vapor pressure is determined using the procedures 
specified in Sec. 63.694(j) of this subpart.
    Metallic shoe seal means a continuous seal that is constructed of 
metal sheets which are held vertically against the wall of the tank by 
springs, weighted levers, or other mechanisms and is connected to the 
floating roof by braces or other means. A flexible coated fabric 
(envelope) spans the annular space between the metal sheet and the 
floating roof.

valve or line, valve, connector, or instrumentation system contains or 
contacts off-site material.
    Off-site material stream means an off-site material produced or 
generated by a particular process or source such that the composition 
and form of the material comprising the stream remain consistent. An 
off-site material stream may be delivered, transferred, or otherwise 
moved to the plant site in a continuous flow of material (e.g., 
wastewater flowing through a pipeline) or in a series of discrete 
batches of material (e.g., a truckload of drums all containing the same 
off-site material or multiple bulk truck loads of an off-site material 
produced by the same process).
    Oil-water separator means a separator as defined for this subpart 
that is used to separate oil from water.
    Operating parameter value means a minimum or maximum value 
established for a control device or treatment process parameter which, 
if achieved by itself or in combination with one or more other operating 
parameter values, determines that an owner or operator has complied with 
an applicable emission limitation or standard.
    Organic-water separator means a separator as defined for this 
subpart that is used to separate organics from water.
    Plant site means all contiguous or adjoining property that is under 
common control including properties that are separated only by a road or 
other public right-of-way. Common control includes properties that are 
owned, leased, or operated by the same entity, parent entity, 
subsidiary, or any combination thereof. A unit or group of units within 
a contiguous property that are not under common control (e.g., a 
wastewater treatment unit or solvent recovery unit located at the site 
but is sold to a different company) is a different plant site.
    Point-of-delivery means the point at the boundary or within the 
plant site where the owner or operator first accepts custody, takes 
possession, or assumes responsibility for the management of an off-site 
material stream managed in a waste management operation or recovery 
operation specified in Sec. 63.680 (a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(vi) of this 
subpart. The characteristics of an off-site material stream are 
determined prior to combining the off-site material stream with other 
off-site material streams or with any other materials.
    Point-of-treatment means a point after the treated material exits 
the treatment process but before the first point downstream of the 
treatment process exit where the organic constituents in the treated 
material have the potential to volatilize and be released to the 
atmosphere. For the purpose of applying this definition to this subpart, 
the first point downstream of the treatment process exit is not a 
fugitive emission point due to an equipment leak from

[[Page 98]]

any of the following equipment components: pumps, compressors, valves, 
connectors, instrumentation systems, or safety devices.
    Process heater means an enclosed combustion device that transfers 
heat released by burning fuel directly to process streams or to heat 
transfer liquids other than water.
    Process vent means an open-ended pipe, stack, or duct through which 
a gas stream containing HAP is continuously or intermittently discharged 
to the atmosphere from any of the processes listed in 
Sec. 63.680(c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(vi) of this section. For the purpose 
of this subpart, a process vent is none of the following: a pressure-
relief vent or other vent that is used as a safety device (as defined in 
this section); an open-ended line or other vent that is subject to the 
equipment leak control requirements under Sec. 63.691 of this subpart; 
or a stack or other vent that is used to exhaust combustion products 
from a boiler, furnace, process heater, incinerator, or other combustion 
device.
    Recovery operation means the collection of off-site material 
management units, process vents, and equipment components used at a 
plant site to manage an off-site material stream from the point-of-
delivery through the point where the material has been recycled, 
reprocessed, or re-refined to obtain the intended product or to remove 
the physical and chemical impurities of concern.
    Safety device means a closure device such as a pressure relief 
valve, frangible disc, fusible plug, or any other type of device which 
functions to prevent physical damage or permanent deformation to 
equipment by venting gases or vapors during unsafe conditions resulting 
from an unplanned, accidental, or emergency event. For the purpose of 
this subpart, a safety device is not used for routine venting of gases 
or vapors from the vapor headspace underneath a cover such as during 
filling of the unit or to adjust the pressure in this vapor headspace in 
response to normal daily diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations. A 
safety device is designed to remain in a closed position during normal 
operations and open only when the internal pressure, or another relevant 
parameter, exceeds the device threshold setting applicable to the 
equipment as determined by the owner or operator based on manufacturer 
recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention 
codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements 
for the safe handling of flammable, combustible, explosive, reactive, or 
hazardous materials.
    Separator means a waste management unit, generally a tank, used to 
separate oil or organics from water. A separator consists of not only 
the separation unit but also the forebay and other separator basins, 
skimmers, weirs, grit chambers, sludge hoppers, and bar screens that are 
located directly after the individual drain system and prior to any 
additional treatment units such as an air flotation unit clarifier or 
biological treatment unit. Examples of a separator include, but are not 
limited to, an API separator, parallel-plate interceptor, and 
corrugated-plate interceptor with the associated ancillary equipment.
    Single-seal system means a floating roof having one continuous seal. 
This seal may be vapor-mounted, liquid-mounted, or a metallic shoe seal.
    Surface impoundment means a unit that is a natural topographical 
depression, man-made excavation, or diked area formed primarily of 
earthen materials (although it may be lined with man-made materials), 
which is designed to hold an accumulation of liquids. Examples of 
surface impoundments include holding, storage, settling, and aeration 
pits, ponds, and lagoons.
    Tank means a stationary unit that is constructed primarily of 
nonearthen materials (such as wood, concrete, steel, fiberglass, or 
plastic) which provide structural support and is designed to hold an 
accumulation of liquids or other materials.
    Transfer system means a stationary system for which the predominant 
function is to convey liquids or solid materials from one point to 
another point within a waste management operation or recovery operation. 
For the purpose of this subpart, the conveyance

[[Page 99]]

of material using a container (as defined for this subpart) or a self-
propelled vehicle (e.g., a front-end loader) is not a transfer system. 
Examples of a transfer system include but are not limited to a pipeline, 
an individual drain system, a gravity-operated conveyor (such as a 
chute), and a mechanically-powered conveyor (such as a belt or screw 
conveyor).
    Temperature monitoring device means a piece of equipment used to 
monitor temperature and having an accuracy of 1 percent of 
the temperature being monitored expressed in degrees Celsius (  deg.C) 
or 1.2 degrees  deg.C, whichever value is greater.
    Treatment process means a process in which an off-site material 
stream is physically, chemically, thermally, or biologically treated to 
destroy, degrade, or remove hazardous air pollutants contained in the 
off-site material. A treatment process can be composed of a single unit 
(e.g., a steam stripper) or a series of units (e.g., a wastewater 
treatment system). A treatment process can be used to treat one or more 
off-site material streams at the same time.
    Used oil means any oil refined from crude oil or any synthetic oil 
that has been used and as a result of such use is contaminated by 
physical or chemical impurities. This definition is the same definition 
of ``used oil'' in 40 CFR 279.1.
    Used solvent means a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons or a mixture 
of one and two ring aromatic hydrocarbons that has been used as a 
solvent and as a result of such use is contaminated by physical or 
chemical impurities.
    Vapor-mounted seal means a continuous seal that is mounted such that 
there is a vapor space between the liquid in the unit and the bottom of 
the seal.
    Volatile organic hazardous air pollutant concentration or VOHAP 
concentration means the fraction by weight of those compounds listed in 
Table 1 of this subpart that are in an off-site material as measured 
using Method 305 in appendix A of this part and expressed in terms of 
parts per million (ppm). As an alternative to using Method 305, an owner 
or operator may determine the HAP concentration of an off-site material 
using any one of the other test methods specified in 
Sec. 63.694(b)(2)(ii) of this subpart. When a test method specified in 
Sec. 63.694(b)(2)(ii) of this subpart other than Method 305 is used to 
determine the speciated HAP concentration of an off-site material, the 
individual compound concentration may be adjusted by the corresponding 
fm305 value listed in Table 1 of this subpart to determine a 
VOHAP concentration.
    Waste means a material generated from industrial, commercial, 
mining, or agricultural operations or from community activities that is 
discarded, discharged, or is being accumulated, stored, or physically, 
chemically, thermally, or biologically treated prior to being discarded 
or discharged.
    Waste management operation means the collection of off-site material 
management units, process vents, and equipment components used at a 
plant site to manage an off-site material stream from the point-of-
delivery to the point where the waste exits or is discharged from the 
plant site or the waste is placed for on-site disposal in a unit not 
subject to this subpart (e.g., a waste incinerator, a land disposal 
unit).
    Waste stabilization process means any physical or chemical process 
used to either reduce the mobility of hazardous constituents in a waste 
or eliminate free liquids as determined by Test Method 9095--Paint 
Filter Liquids Test in ``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, 
Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication No. SW-846, Third Edition, 
September 1986, as amended by Update I, November 15, 1992. (As an 
alternative, an owner or operator may use any more recent, updated 
version of Method 9095 approved by the EPA.) A waste stabilization 
process includes mixing the waste with binders or other materials and 
curing the resulting waste and binder mixture. Other synonymous terms 
used to refer to this process are ``waste fixation'' or ``waste 
solidification.'' A waste stabilization process does not include the 
adding of absorbent materials to the surface of a waste, without mixing, 
agitation, or subsequent curing, to absorb free liquid.

operators of affected sources as designated in Sec. 63.680(c) of this 
subpart.
    (b) Off-site material management units. (1) For each off-site 
material management unit that is part of an affected source, the owner 
or operator must meet the requirements in either paragraph (b)(1)(i), 
(b)(1)(ii), or (b)(1)(iii) of this section except for those off-site 
material management units exempted under paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section.
    (i) The owner or operator controls air emissions from the off-site 
material management unit in accordance with the applicable standards 
specified in Secs. 63.685 through 63.689 of this subpart.
    (ii) The owner or operator removes or destroys HAP in the off-site 
material before placing the material in the off-site material management 
unit by treating the material in accordance with the standards specified 
in Sec. 63.684 of this subpart.
    (iii) The owner or operator determines before placing off-site 
material in the off-site material management unit that the average VOHAP 
concentration of the off-site material is less than 500 parts per 
million by weight (ppmw) at the point-of-delivery. The owner or operator 
must perform an initial determination of the average VOHAP concentration 
of the off-site material using the procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.694(b) of this subpart. This initial determination must be 
performed either before the first time any portion of the off-site 
material stream is placed in the unit or by the compliance date, 
whichever date is later. Thereafter, the owner or operator must review 
and update, as necessary, this determination at least once every 
calendar year following the date of the initial determination for the 
off-site material stream.
    (2) An off-site material management unit is exempted from the 
requirements in paragraph (b)(1) of this section when the owner or 
operator meets one of the exemptions provided in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) 
through (b)(2)(iv) of this section as applicable to the unit.
    (i) An off-site material management unit is exempted from the 
requirements in paragraph (b)(1) of this section if the off-site 
material management unit is also subject to another subpart under 40 CFR 
part 63 or 40 CFR part 61, and the owner or operator is controlling the 
HAP listed in Table 1 of this subpart that are emitted from the unit in 
compliance with the provisions specified in the other applicable subpart 
under part 61 or part 63.
    (ii) At the discretion of the owner or operator, one or a

the requirements in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the owner or 
operator must meet the requirements in paragraphs (b)(2)(ii)(A) and 
(b)(2)(ii)(B) of this section. An owner or operator may change the off-
site material management units selected to be exempted under this 
paragraph (b)(2)(ii) by preparing a new designation for the exempt-units 
as required by paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(A) of this section and performing a 
new determination as required by paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(B) of this 
section.
    (A) The owner or operator must designate each of the off-site 
material management units selected by the owner or operator to be exempt 
under paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section by either submitting to the 
Administrator a written notification identifying the exempt-units or 
permanently marking the exempt-units at the plant site. If an owner or 
operator chooses to prepare and submit a written notification, this 
notification must include a site plan, process diagram, or other 
appropriate documentation identifying each of the exempt-units. If an 
owner or operator chooses to permanently mark the exempt-units, each

(b)(4) of this section, the owner or operator shall ensure that the 
treatment process is achieving the applicable performance requirements 
by continuously monitoring the operation of the process when it is used 
to treat off-site material by complying with paragraphs (e)(1) through 
(e)(3) or, for biological treatment units, paragraph (e)(4) of this 
section:
    (1) A continuous monitoring system shall be installed and operated 
for each treatment that measures operating parameters appropriate for 
the treatment process technology. This system shall include a continuous 
recorder that records the measured values of the selected operating 
parameters. The monitoring equipment shall be installed, calibrated, and 
maintained in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's 
specifications or other written procedures that provide reasonable 
assurance that the monitoring equipment is operating properly. The 
continuous recorder shall be a data recording device that records either 
an instantaneous data value at least once every 15 minutes or an average 
value for intervals of 15 minutes or less.
    (2) For each monitored operating parameter, the owner or operator 
shall establish a minimum operating parameter value or a maximum 
operating parameter value, as appropriate, to define the range of 
conditions at which the treatment process must be operated to 
continuously achieve the applicable performance requirements of this 
section.
    (3) When the treatment process is operating to treat off-site 
material, the owner or operator shall inspect the data recorded by the 
continuous monitoring system on a routine basis and operate the 
treatment process such that the actual value of each monitored operating 
parameter is greater than the minimum operating parameter value or less 
than the maximum operating parameter value, as appropriate, established 
for the treatment process.
    (4) When the treatment process is a biological treatment process 
that is complying with paragraph (b)(4) of this section, the owner or 
operator must establish and implement a written procedure to monitor the 
appropriate parameters that demonstrate proper operation of the 
biological treatment unit in accordance with the evaluation required in 
Sec. 63.694(h) of this subpart. The written procedure must list the 
operating parameters that will be monitored and state the frequency of 
monitoring to ensure that the biological treatment unit is operating 
between the minimum operating parameter values and maximum operating 
parameter values to establish that the biological treatment unit is 
continuously achieving the performance requirement.
    (f) The owner or operator must maintain records for each treatment 
process in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 63.696(a) of this 
subpart.
    (g) The owner or operator must prepare and submit reports for each 
treatment process in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 63.697(a) 
of this subpart.
    (h) The Administrator may at any time conduct or request that the 
owner or operator conduct testing necessary to demonstrate that a 
treatment process is achieving the applicable performance requirements 
of this section. The testing shall be conducted in accordance with the 
applicable requirements of this section. The Administrator may elect to 
have an authorized representative observe testing conducted by the owner 
or operator.

[[Page 114]]

either paragraph (b)(3)(i) or (b)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The control device may be bypassed for the purpose of performing 
planned routine maintenance of the closed-vent system or control device 
in situations when the routine maintenance cannot be performed during 
periods that the emission point vented to the control device is 
shutdown. On an annual basis, the total time that the closed-vent system 
or control device is bypassed to perform routine maintenance shall not 
exceed 240 hours per each calendar year.
    (ii) The control device may be bypassed for the purpose of 
correcting a malfunction of the closed-vent system or control device. 
The owner or operator shall perform the adjustments or repairs necessary 
to correct the malfunction as soon as practicable after the malfunction 
is detected.
    (4) The owner or operator must inspect and monitor each closed-vent 
system in accordance with the requirements specified in either paragraph 
(b)(4)(i) or (b)(4)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator inspects and monitors the closed-vent

through (h) of this section as applicable to the type and design of the 
control device selected by the owner or operator to comply with the 
provisions of this section.
    (6) The owner or operator shall maintain records for each control 
device in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 63.696 of this 
subpart.
    (7) The owner or operator shall prepare and submit reports for each 
control device in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 63.697 of 
this subpart.
    (8) In the case when an owner or operator chooses to use a design

disagreement must be resolved using the results of a performance test 
conducted by the owner or operator in accordance with the requirements 
of Sec. 63.694(l) of this subpart. The Administrator may choose to have 
an authorized representative observe the performance test conducted by 
the owner or operator. Should the results of this performance test not 
agree with the determination of control device performance based on the 
design analysis, then the results of the performance test will be used 
to establish compliance with this subpart.
    (c) Closed-vent system requirements.
    (1) The vent stream required to be controlled shall be conveyed to 
the control device by either of the following closed-vent systems:

below atmospheric pressure. The system shall be equipped with at least 
one pressure gage or other pressure measurement device that can be read 
from a readily accessible location to verify that negative pressure is 
being maintained in

[[Page 115]]

the closed-vent system when the control device is operating.
    (2) In situations when the closed-vent system includes bypass 
devices that could be used to divert a vent stream from the closed-vent 
system to the atmosphere at a point upstream of the control device 
inlet, each bypass device must be equipped with either a flow indicator 
as specified in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section or a seal or locking 
device as specified in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section. For the 
purpose of complying with this paragraph (c)(2), low leg drains, high

relief valves needed for safety reasons are not subject to the 
requirements of this paragraph (c)(2).
    (i) If a flow indicator is used, the indicator must be installed at 
the entrance to the bypass line used to divert the vent stream from the 
closed-vent system to the atmosphere. The flow indicator must indicate a 
reading at least once every 15 minutes. The owner or operator must 
maintain records of the following information: hourly records of whether 
the flow indicator was operating and whether flow was detected at any 
time during the hour; and records of all periods when flow is detected 
or the flow indicator is not operating.
    (ii) If a seal or locking device is used, the bypass line valve must 
be secured in the non-diverting position with a car-seal or a lock-and-
key type configuration. The seal or locking device must be placed on the 
mechanism by which the bypass device position is controlled (e.g., valve 
handle, damper lever) when the bypass device is in the non-diverting 
position such that the bypass device cannot be moved to the diverting 
position without breaking the seal or removing the lock. The owner or 
operator must visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism at least 
once every month to determine that the bypass line valve is maintained 
in the non-diverting position and the vent stream is not diverted 
through the bypass line.
    (d) Carbon adsorption control device requirements.

capacity of activated carbon used for carbon beds, design total 
regeneration steam flow over the period of each complete carbon bed 
regeneration cycle, design carbon bed temperature after regeneration, 
design carbon bed regeneration time, and design service life of the 
carbon.
    (B) For a nonregenerable carbon adsorption system (e.g., a carbon 
canister), the design analysis shall address the vent stream 
composition, constituent concentrations, flow rate, relative humidity, 
and temperature and shall establish the design exhaust vent

[[Page 116]]

    (i) Following the initial startup of the control device, all carbon 
in the control device shall be replaced with fresh carbon on a regular, 
predetermined time interval that is no longer than the carbon service 
life established for the carbon adsorption system. The provisions of 
this paragraph (d)(4)(i) do not apply to a nonregenerable carbon 
adsorption system (e.g., a carbon canister) for which the carbon 
canister or the carbon in the control device is replaced on a regular 
basis according to the requirements in paragraph (d)(4)(iii) of this

the concentration level of the organic compounds in the exhaust vent 
stream must be made with a detection instrument that is appropriate for 
the composition of organic constituents in the vent stream and is 
routinely calibrated to measure the organic concentration level expected 
to occur at breakthrough. The monitoring frequency must be daily or at 
an interval no greater than 20 percent of the time required to consume 
the total carbon working capacity established as a requirement of 
paragraph (d)(2)(ii)(B) of this section, whichever is longer.
    (B) Replace either the existing carbon canister with a new carbon

Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication No. SW-846, Third Edition, 
September 1986, as amended by Update I, November 15, 1992. As an 
alternative, an owner or operator may use any more recent, updated 
version of Method 8260 approved by the EPA. For the purpose of using

    (iii) Calculations. The average VOHAP concentration (C) on a mass-
weighted basis shall be calculated by using the results for all samples 
analyzed in accordance with paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section and the 
following equation. An owner or operator using a test method that 
provides species-specific chemical concentrations may adjust the 
measured concentrations to the corresponding concentration values which 
would be obtained had the off-site material samples been analyzed using 
Method 305. To adjust these data, the measured concentration for each 
individual HAP chemical species contained in the off-site material is 
multiplied by the appropriate species-specific adjustment factor 
(fm305) listed in Table 1 of this subpart.

concentration.
    (i) Documentation shall be prepared that presents the information 
used as the basis for the owner's or operator's knowledge of the off-
site material stream's average VOHAP concentration. Examples of 
information that may be used as the basis for knowledge include: 
material balances for the source or process generating the off-site 
material stream; species-specific chemical test data for the off-site 
material stream from previous testing that are still applicable to the 
current off-site material stream; previous test data for other locations 
managing the same type of off-site material stream; or other knowledge 
based on information in documents such as manifests, shipping papers, or 
waste certification notices.
    (ii) If test data are used as the basis for knowledge, then the 
owner or operator shall document the test method, sampling protocol, and 
the means by which sampling variability and analytical variability are 
accounted for in the determination of the average VOHAP concentration. 
For example, an owner or operator may use HAP concentration test data 
for the off-site material stream that are validated in accordance with 
Method 301 in 40 CFR part 63, appendix A of this part as the basis for 
knowledge of the off-site material.

concentration test data as the basis for knowledge of the off-site 
material may adjust the test data to the corresponding average VOHAP 
concentration value which would be obtained had the off-site material 
samples been analyzed using Method 305. To adjust these data, the 
measured concentration for each individual HAP chemical species 
contained in the off-site material is multiplied by

[[Page 124]]

the appropriate species-specific adjustment factor (fm305) 
listed in Table 1 of this subpart.
    (iv) In the event that the Administrator and the owner or operator

off-site material stream using knowledge, then the results from a 
determination of VOHAP concentration using direct measurement as 
specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall be used to establish 
compliance with the applicable requirements of this subpart. The 
Administrator may perform or request that the owner or operator perform 
this determination using direct measurement.

shall be collected to represent the complete range of HAP compositions 
and HAP quantities that occur in the off-site material stream during the

conditions for the treatment process. Examples of such normal variations 
are seasonal variations in off-site material quantity or fluctuations in 
ambient temperature.
    (iii) All samples shall be collected and handled in accordance with 
written procedures prepared by the owner or operator and documented in a 
site sampling plan. This plan shall describe the procedure by which 
representative samples of the off-site material stream are collected 
such that a minimum loss of organics occurs throughout the sample 
collection and handling process and by which sample integrity is 
maintained. A copy of the written sampling plan shall be maintained on-
site in the plant site operating records. An example of an acceptable 
sampling plan includes a plan incorporating sample collection and 
handling procedures in accordance with the requirements specified in 
``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,'' 
EPA Publication No. SW-846 or Method 25D in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (2) Analysis. Each collected sample must be prepared and analyzed in 
accordance with one of the methods specified in paragraphs (b)(2)(ii)(A) 
through (b)(2)(ii)(I) of this section, as applicable to the sampled off-
site material, for the purpose of measuring the HAP listed in Table 1 of 
this subpart.
    (3) Calculations. The average VOHAP concentration (C) a mass-
weighted basis shall be calculated by using the results for all samples 
analyzed in accordance with paragraph (c)(2) of this section and the 
following equation. An owner or operator using a test method that 
provides species-specific chemical concentrations may adjust the 
measured concentrations to the corresponding concentration values which 
would be obtained had the off-site material samples been analyzed using 
Method 305. To adjust these data, the measured concentration for each 
individual HAP chemical species contained in the off-site material is 
multiplied by the appropriate species-specific adjustment factor 
(fm305) listed in Table 1 of this subpart.

analyze the samples and compute the maximum HAP vapor pressure of the 
off-site material:
    (A) Method 25E in 40 CFR part 60 appendix A;
    (B) Methods described in American Petroleum Institute Bulletin 2517, 
``Evaporation Loss from External Floating Roof Tanks,'';
    (C) Methods obtained from standard reference texts;
    (D) ASTM Method 2879-83; or
    (E) Any other method approved by the Administrator.
    (3) Use of knowledge to determine the maximum HAP vapor pressure of 
the off-site material. Documentation shall be prepared and recorded that 
presents the information used as the basis for the owner's or operator's 
knowledge that the maximum HAP vapor pressure of the off-site material 
is less than the maximum vapor pressure limit listed in Table 3 or Table 
4 of this subpart for the applicable tank design capacity category. 
Examples of information that may be used include: the off-site material 
is generated by a process for which at other locations it previously has 
been determined by direct measurement that the off-site material maximum 
HAP vapor pressure is less than the maximum vapor pressure limit for the 
appropriate tank design capacity category.
    (k) Procedure for determining no detectable organic emissions for 
the purpose of complying with this subpart.
    (1) The test shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures 
specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. Each potential 
leak interface

[[Page 128]]

(i.e., a location where organic vapor leakage could occur) on the cover 
and associated closure devices shall be checked. Potential leak 
interfaces that are associated with covers and closure devices include, 
but are not limited to: the interface of the cover and its foundation 
mounting; the periphery of any opening on the cover and its associated 
closure device; and the sealing seat interface on a spring-loaded 
pressure-relief valve.
    (2) The test shall be performed when the unit contains a material 
having a total organic concentration representative of the range of 
concentrations for the materials expected to be managed in the unit. 
During the test, the cover and closure devices shall be secured in the 
closed position.
    (3) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response 
factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the 
average composition of the organic constituents in the material placed 
in the unit, not for each individual organic constituent.
    (4) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A.
    (5) Calibration gases shall be as follows:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 ppmv hydrocarbon in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane in air at a concentration of 
approximately, but less than, 10,000 ppmv.
    (6) An owner or operator may choose to adjust or not adjust the 
detection instrument readings to account for the background organic 
concentration level. If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the 
instrument readings for the background level, the background level value 
must be determined according to the procedures in Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A.
    (7) Each potential leak interface shall be checked by traversing the 
instrument probe around the potential leak interface as close to the 
interface as possible, as described in Method 21. In the case when the 
configuration of the cover or closure device prevents a complete 
traverse of the interface, all accessible portions of the interface 
shall be sampled. In the case when the configuration of the closure 
device prevents any sampling at the interface and the device is equipped 
with an enclosed extension or horn (e.g., some pressure relief devices), 
the instrument probe inlet shall be placed at approximately the center 
of the exhaust area to the atmosphere.
    (8) An owner or operator must determine if a potential leak 
interface operates with no detectable emissions using the applicable 
procedure specified in paragraph (k)(8)(i) or (k)(8)(ii) of this 
section.
    (i) If an owner or operator chooses not to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, then 
the maximum organic concentration value measured by the detection 
instrument is compared directly to the applicable value for the 
potential leak interface as specified in paragraph (k)(9) of this 
section.
    (ii) If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, the 
value of the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic 
concentration value measured by the instrument and the background 
organic concentration value as determined in paragraph (k)(6) of this 
section is compared with the applicable value for the potential leak 
interface as specified in paragraph (k)(9) of this section.
    (9) A potential leak interface is determined to operate with no 
detectable emissions using the applicable criteria specified in 
paragraphs (k)(9)(i) and (k)(9)(ii) of this section.
    (i) For a potential leak interface other than a seal around a shaft 
that passes through a cover opening, the potential leak interface is 
determined to operate with no detectable organic emissions if the 
organic concentration value determined in paragraph (k)(8) is less than 
500 ppmv.
    (ii) For a seal around a shaft that passes through a cover opening, 
the potential leak interface is determined to operate with no detectable 
organic emissions if the organic concentration

[[Page 129]]

value determined in paragraph (k)(8) is less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (l) Control device performance test procedures.
    (1) Method 1 or 1A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as appropriate, 
shall be used for selection of the sampling sites at the inlet and 
outlet of the control device.

all vent streams and primary and secondary fuels introduced into the 
boiler or process heater.
    (ii) To determine compliance with an enclosed combustion device 
concentration limit, the sampling site shall be located at the outlet of 
the device.

    (3) To determine compliance with the control device percent 
reduction requirement, the owner or operator shall use Method 18 of 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A of this chapter; alternatively, any other method 
or data that has been validated according to the applicable procedures 
in Method 301 in 40 CFR part 63, appendix A of this part may be used. 
The following procedures shall be used to calculate percent reduction 
efficiency:
    (i) The minimum sampling time for each run shall be 1 hour in which 
either an integrated sample or a minimum of four grab samples shall be 
taken. If grab sampling is used, then the samples shall be taken at 
approximately equal intervals in time such as 15 minute intervals during 
the run.

          (kilogram/gram) (minute/hour), where standard temperature 
          (gram-mole per standard cubic meter) is 20  deg.C.
    (B) When the TOC mass rate is calculated, all organic compounds 
(minus methane and ethane) measured by Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A shall be summed using the equation in paragraph (l)(3)(ii)(A) 
of this section.
    (C) When the total HAP mass rate is calculated, only the HAP 
constituents shall be summed using the equation in paragraph 
(l)(3)(ii)(A) of this section.

          this section, kilograms TOC per hour or kilograms HAP per 
          hour.

    (iv) If the vent stream entering a boiler or process heater is 
introduced with the combustion air or as a secondary fuel, the weight-
percent reduction of total HAP or TOC (minus methane and ethane) across 
the device shall be determined by comparing the TOC (minus methane and 
ethane) or total HAP in all combusted vent streams and primary and 
secondary fuels with the TOC (minus methane and ethane) or total HAP 
exiting the device, respectively.
    (4) To determine compliance with the enclosed combustion device 
total HAP concentration limit of this subpart, the owner or operator 
shall use Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A to measure either TOC

reporting requirements specified in Sec. 63.697 of this subpart.
    (C) If a tank ceases to hold off-site material for a period of 1 
year or more, subsequent introduction of off-site material into the tank 
shall be considered an initial operation for the purposes of paragraphs 
(b)(2)(i)(A) and (b)(2)(i)(B) of this section.
    (D) The owner shall determine the total surface area of gaps in the 
primary seal and in the secondary seal individually using the following 
procedure.
    (1) The seal gap measurements shall be performed at one or more 
floating roof levels when the roof is floating off the roof supports.
    (2) Seal gaps, if any, shall be measured around the entire perimeter 
of the floating roof in each place where a 0.32-centimeter (cm) (\1/8\-
inch) diameter uniform probe passes freely (without forcing or binding

the seal and multiplying each such width by its respective 
circumferential distance.
    (4) The total gap area shall be calculated by adding the gap surface 
areas determined for each identified gap location for the primary seal 
and the secondary seal individually, and then dividing the sum for each 
seal type by the nominal diameter of the tank. These total gap areas for 
the primary seal and secondary seal are then compared to the respective 
standards for the seal type as specified in Sec. 63.685(f)(1) of this

the defect the next time the process or unit that vents to the closed-
vent system is shutdown. Repair of the defect must be completed before 
the process or unit resumes operation.
    (A) Completion of the repair is technically infeasible without the 
shutdown of the process or unit that vents to the closed-vent system.
    (B) The owner or operator determines that the air emissions 
resulting from the repair of the defect within the specified period 
would be greater than the fugitive emissions likely to result by 
delaying the repair until the next time the process or unit that vents 
to the closed-vent system is shutdown.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the defect 
repair in accordance with the requirements specified in Sec. 63.696 of 
this subpart.
    (d) Owners and operators that use a transfer system equipped with a 
cover in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 63.689(c)(1) of this 
subpart shall meet the following inspection requirements:
    (1) The cover and its closure devices shall be visually inspected by 
the owner or operator to check for defects that could result in air 
emissions. Defects include, but are not limited to, visible cracks, 
holes, or gaps in the cover sections or between the cover and its 
mounting; broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged seals or gaskets on 
closure devices; and broken or missing hatches, access covers, caps, or 
other

[[Page 135]]

closure devices. In the case when a transfer system is buried partially 
or entirely underground, inspection is required only for those portions 
of the cover that extend to or above the ground surface, and those 
connections that are on such portions of the cover (e.g., access 
hatches, etc.) and can be opened to the atmosphere.
    (2) The owner or operator must perform an initial inspection 
following installation of the cover. Thereafter, the owner or operator 
must perform the inspections at least once every calendar year except as 
provided for in paragraph (f) of this section.
    (3) In the event that a defect is detected, the owner or operator 
shall repair the defect in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 
(d)(5) of this section.
    (4) The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the inspection 
in accordance with the requirements specified in Sec. 63.696 of this 
subpart.
    (5) The owner or operator shall repair all detected defects as 
follows:
    (i) The owner or operator shall make first efforts at repair of the 
defect no later than 5 calendar days after detection and repair shall be 
completed as soon as possible but no later than 45 calendar days after 
detection except as provided in paragraph (d)(5)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) Repair of a defect may be delayed beyond 45 calendar days if 
the owner or operator determines that repair of the defect requires 
emptying or temporary removal from service of the transfer system and no 
alternative transfer system is available at the site to accept the 
material normally handled by the system. In this case, the owner or 
operator shall repair the defect the next time the process or unit that 
is generating the material handled by the transfer system stops 
operation. Repair of the defect must be completed before the process or 
unit resumes operation.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the defect 
repair in accordance with the requirements specified in Sec. 63.696 of 
this subpart.
    (e) Control device monitoring requirements. For each control device 
required under Sec. 63.693 of this subpart to be monitored in accordance 
with the provisions of this paragraph (e), the owner or operator must 
ensure that each control device operates properly by monitoring the 
control device in accordance with the requirements specified in 
paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(7) of this section.
    (1) A continuous parameter monitoring system must be used to measure 
the operating parameter or parameters specified for the control device 
in Sec. 63.693(d) through Sec. 63.693(g) of this subpart as applicable 
to the type and design of the control device. The continuous parameter 
monitoring system must meet the following specifications and 
requirements:
    (i) The continuous parameter monitoring system must measure either 
an instantaneous value at least once every 15 minutes or an average 
value for intervals of 15 minutes or less and continuously record 
either:
    (A) Each measured data value; or
    (B) Each block average value for each 1-hour period or shorter 
periods calculated from all measured data values during each period. If 
values are measured more frequently than once per minute, a single value 
for each minute may be used to calculate the hourly (or shorter period) 
block average instead of all measured values.
    (ii) The monitoring system must be installed, calibrated, operated, 
and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications or 
other written procedures that provide reasonable assurance that the 
monitoring equipment is operating properly.
    (2) Using the data recorded by the monitoring system, the owner or 
operator must calculate the daily average value for each monitored 
operating parameter for each operating day. If operation of the control 
device is continuous, the operating day is a 24-hour period. If control 
device operation is not continuous, the operating day is the total 
number of hours of control device operation per 24-hour period. Valid 
data points must be available for 75 percent of the operating hours in 
an operating day to compute the daily average.
    (3) For each monitored operating parameter, the owner or operator 
must establish a minimum operating parameter value or a maximum 
operating parameter value, as appropriate, to define

[[Page 136]]

the range of conditions at which the control device must be operated to 
continuously achieve the applicable performance requirements specified 
in Sec. 63.693(b)(2) of this subpart. Each minimum or maximum operating 
parameter value must be established in accordance with the requirements 
in paragraphs (e)(3)(i) and (e)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (i) If the owner or operator conducts a performance test to 
demonstrate control device performance, then the minimum or maximum 
operating parameter value must be established based on values measured 
during the performance test and supplemented, as necessary, by the 
control device design specifications, manufacturer recommendations, or 
other applicable information.
    (ii) If the owner or operator uses a control device design analysis 
to demonstrate control device performance, then the minimum or maximum 
operating parameter value must be established based on the control 
device design analysis and supplemented, as necessary, by the control 
device manufacturer recommendations or other applicable information.
    (4) An excursion for a given control device is determined to have 
occurred when the monitoring data or lack of monitoring data result in 
any one of the criteria specified in paragraphs (e)(4)(i) through 
(e)(4)(iii) of this section being met. When multiple operating 
parameters are monitored for the same control device and during the same 
operating day more than one of these operating parameters meets an 
excursion criterion specified in paragraphs (e)(4)(i) through 
(e)(4)(iii) of this section, then a single excursion is determined to 
have occurred for the control device for that operating day.
    (i) An excursion occurs when the daily average value of a monitored 
operating parameter is less than the minimum operating parameter limit 
(or, if applicable, greater than the maximum operating parameter limit) 
established for the operating parameter in accordance with the 
requirements of paragraph (e)(3) of this section.
    (ii) An excursion occurs when the period of control device operation 
is 4 hours or greater in an operating day and the monitoring data are 
insufficient to constitute a valid hour of data for at least 75 percent 
of the operating hours. Monitoring data are insufficient to constitute a 
valid hour of data if measured values are unavailable for any of the 15-
minute periods within the hour.
    (iii) An excursion occurs when the period of control device 
operation is less than 4 hours in an operating day and more than 1 of 
the hours during the period does not constitute a valid hour of data due 
to insufficient monitoring data. Monitoring data are insufficient to 
constitute a valid hour of data if measured values are unavailable for 
any of the 15-minute periods within the hour.
    (5) For each excursion, except as provided for in paragraph(e)(6) of 
this section, the owner or operator shall be deemed to have failed to 
have applied control in a manner that achieves the required operating 
parameter limits. Failure to achieve the required operating parameter 
limits is a violation of this standard.
    (6) An excursion is not a violation of this standard under any one 
of the conditions specified in paragraphs (e)(6)(i) and (e)(6)(ii) of 
this section.
    (i) An excursion is not a violation nor does it count toward the 
number of excused excursions allowed under paragraph (e)(6)(ii) of this 
section when the excursion occurs during any one of the following 
periods:
    (A) During a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction when the 
affected facility is operated during such period in accordance with the 
facility's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan; or
    (B) During periods of non-operation of the unit or the process that 
is vented to the control device (resulting in cessation of HAP emissions 
to which the monitoring applies).
    (ii) For each control device, one excused excursion is allowed per 
semiannual period for any reason. The initial semiannual period is the 
6-month reporting period addressed by the first semiannual report 
submitted by the owner or operator in accordance with Sec. 63.697(b)(4) 
of this subpart.
    (7) Nothing in paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(6) of this section 
shall be

[[Page 137]]

construed to allow or excuse a monitoring parameter excursion caused by 
any activity that violates other applicable provisions of this subpart.
    (f) Alternative inspection and monitoring interval. Following the 
initial inspection and monitoring of a piece of air pollution control 
equipment in accordance with the applicable provisions of this section, 
subsequent inspection and monitoring of the equipment may be performed 
at intervals longer than 1 year when an owner or operator determines 
that performing the required inspection or monitoring procedures would 
expose a worker to dangerous, hazardous, or otherwise unsafe conditions 
and the owner or operator complies with the requirements specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator must prepare and maintain at the plant 
site written documentation identifying the specific air pollution 
control equipment designated as ``unsafe to inspect and monitor.'' The 
documentation must include for each piece of air pollution control 
equipment designated as such a written explanation of the reasons why 
the equipment is unsafe to inspect or monitor using the applicable 
procedures under this section.
    (2) The owner or operator must develop and implement a written plan 
and schedule to inspect and monitor the air pollution control equipment 
using the applicable procedures specified in this section during times 
when a worker can safely access the air pollution control equipment. The 
required inspections and monitoring must be performed as frequently as 
practicable but do not need to be performed more frequently than the 
periodic schedule that would be otherwise applicable to the air 
pollution control equipment under the provisions of this section. A copy 
of the written plan and schedule must be maintained at the plant site.

Subpart EE--National Emission Standards for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing 
                               Operations

    Source: 59 FR 64596, Dec. 15, 1994, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.701  Applicability.

    (a) Except as specified in paragraph (b) of this section, the 
provisions of this subpart apply to:
    (1) Each new and existing magnetic tape manufacturing operation 
located at a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions; 
and
    (2) A magnetic tape manufacturing operation for which the owner or 
operator chooses to use the provisions of Sec. 63.703(b) and (h) to 
obtain a Federally enforceable limit on its potential to emit HAP.
    Explanatory Note: A reason the owner or operator would make the 
choice described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section is if the plant 
site, without this limit, would be a major source. The owner or operator 
could use this limit, which would establish the potential to emit from 
magnetic tape manufacturing operations, in conjunction with the 
potential to emit from the other HAP emission points at the stationary 
source, to be an area source. Note, however, that an owner or operator 
is not required to use the provisions in Sec. 63.703(b) and (h) to 
determine the potential to emit HAP from magnetic tape manufacturing 
operations.
    (b) This subpart does not apply to the following:
    (1) Research or laboratory facilities; and
    (2) Any coating operation that produces a quantity of magnetic tape 
that is 1 percent or less of total production (in terms of total square 
footage coated) from that coating operation in any 12-month period.
    (c) The affected source subject to this standard is the magnetic 
tape manufacturing operation, as defined in Sec. 63.702.
    (d) An owner or operator of an existing affected source subject to 
the provisions of this subpart shall comply according to the following 
schedule:
    (1) Within 3 years after the effective date of the standard, if the 
owner or operator is required to install a new add-on air pollution 
control device to meet the requirements of Sec. 63.703(c) or (g); or
    (2) Within 2 years after the effective date of the standard, if a 
new add-on air pollution control device is not

[[Page 145]]

needed to comply with Sec. 63.703(c) or (g) of these standards.
    (e) The compliance date for an owner or operator of a new affected 
source subject to the provisions of this subpart is immediately upon 
startup of the affected source.
    (f) The provisions of this subpart apply during periods of startup 
and shutdown, and whenever magnetic tape manufacturing operations are 
taking place.
    (g) Owners or operators of affected sources subject to the 
provisions of this subpart shall also comply with the requirements of 
subpart A as identified in Table 1, according to the applicability of 
subpart A to such sources.
    (h) In any title V permit for an affected source, all research or 
laboratory facilities that are exempt from the requirements of this 
subpart shall be clearly identified.



Sec. 63.702  Definitions.

    (a) All terms used in this subpart that are not defined below have 
the meaning given to them in the Clean Air Act and in subpart A of this 
part.
    Add-on air pollution control device means equipment installed at the 
end of a process vent exhaust stack or stacks that reduces the quantity 
of a pollutant that is emitted to the air. The device may destroy or 
secure the pollutant for subsequent recovery. Examples are incinerators, 
condensers, carbon adsorbers, and biofiltration units. Transfer 
equipment and ductwork are not considered in and of themselves add-on 
air pollution control devices.
    Bag slitter means a device for enclosed transfer of particulates. A 
bag of raw materials is placed in a hopper, the hopper is closed, and an 
internal mechanism slits the bag, releasing the particulates into either 
a closed conveyor that feeds the mix preparation equipment or into the 
mix preparation equipment itself.
    Base substrate means the surface, such as plastic or paper, to which 
a coating is applied.
    Capture efficiency means the fraction of all organic vapors or other 
pollutants generated by a process that are directed to an add-on air 
pollution control device.
    Capture device means a hood, enclosed room, or other means of 
collecting HAP vapors or other pollutants into a duct that exhausts to 
an add-on air pollution control device.
    Carbon adsorber vessel means one vessel in a series of vessels in a 
carbon adsorption system that contains carbon and is used to remove 
gaseous pollutants from a gaseous emission source.
    Car seal means a seal that is placed on a device that is used either 
to open a closed valve or close an opened valve so that the position of 
the valve cannot be changed without breaking the seal.
    Closed system for flushing fixed lines means a system in which the 
line to be flushed is disconnected from its original position and 
connected to two closed containers, one that contains cleaning solvent 
and one that is empty. Solvent is flushed from the container with 
cleaning solvent, through the line, and into the empty containers.
    Coater or coating applicator means the apparatus used to apply a 
coating to a continuous base substrate.
    Coating application means the process by which the coating mix is 
applied to the base substrate.
    Coating operation means any coater, flashoff area, and drying oven 
located between a base substrate unwind station and a base substrate 
rewind station that coats a continuous base substrate.
    Control device efficiency means the ratio of the emissions collected 
or destroyed by an add-on air pollution control device to the total 
emissions that are introduced to the control device, expressed as a 
percentage.
    Day means a 24-consecutive-hour period.
    Drying oven means a chamber that uses heat to bake, cure, 
polymerize, or dry a surface coating; if the coating contains volatile 
solvents, the volatile portion is evaporated in the oven.
    Enclosed transfer method means a particulate HAP transfer method 
that uses an enclosed system to prevent particulate HAP from entering 
the atmosphere as dust. Equipment used for this purpose may include 
vacuum injection systems or other mechanical transfer systems, bag 
slitters, or supersacks.

[[Page 146]]

    Equivalent diameter means four times the area of an opening divided 
by its perimeter.
    Facility means all contiguous or adjoining property that is under 
common ownership or control in which magnetic tape manufacturing is 
performed. The definition includes properties that are separated only by 
a road or other public right-of-way.
    Flashoff area means the portion of a coating operation between the 
coater and the drying oven where solvent begins to evaporate from the 
coated base substrate.
    Flushing of fixed lines means the flushing of solvent through lines 
that are typically fixed and are not associated with the cleaning of a 
tank, such as the line from the mix room to the coater.
    Freeboard ratio means the vertical distance from the surface of the 
liquid to the top of the sink or tank (freeboard height) divided by the 
smaller of the length or width of the sink or tank evaporative area.
    Magnetic coatings means coatings applied to base substrates to make 
magnetic tape. Components of magnetic coatings may include: Magnetic 
particles, binders, dispersants, conductive pigments, lubricants, 
solvents, and other additives.
    Magnetic particles means particles in the coating mix that have 
magnetic properties. Examples of magnetic particles used in magnetic 
tape manufacturing are: y-oxide, doped iron oxides, chromium dioxide, 
barium ferrite, and metallic particles that usually consist of elemental 
iron, cobalt, and/or nickel.

one or both sides with a coating containing magnetic particles and that 
is used for audio recording, video recording, or any type of information 
storage.
    Magnetic tape manufacturing operation means all of the emission 
points within a magnetic tape manufacturing facility that are 
specifically associated with the manufacture of magnetic tape. These 
include, but are not limited to:
    (1) Solvent storage tanks;
    (2) Mix preparation equipment;
    (3) Coating operations;
    (4) Waste handling devices;
    (5) Particulate transfer operations;

    (7) Cleaning involving the flushing of fixed lines;
    (8) Wastewater treatment systems; and
    (9) Condenser vents associated with distillation and stripping 
columns in the solvent recovery area, but not including the vent on a 
condenser that is used as the add-on air pollution control device.
    Mill means the pressurized equipment that uses the dispersing action 
of beads, combined with the high shearing forces of the centrifugal 
mixing action, to disperse the aggregates of magnetic particles 
thoroughly without reducing particle size.
    Mix preparation equipment means the vessels, except for mills, used 
to prepare the magnetic coating.
    Natural draft opening means any opening in a room, building, or 
total enclosure that remains open during operation of the facility and 
that is not connected to a duct in which a fan is installed. The rate 
and direction of the natural draft through such an opening is a 
consequence of the difference in pressures on either side of the wall 
containing the opening.
    Nonregenerative carbon adsorber means a carbon adsorber vessel in 
which the spent carbon bed does not undergo carbon regeneration in the 
adsorption vessel.
    Operating parameter value means a minimum or maximum value 
established for a control device or process parameter that, if achieved 
by itself or in combination with one or more other operating parameter 
values, determines that an owner or operator has complied with an 
applicable emission limitation or standard.
    Overall HAP control efficiency means the total efficiency of the 
control system, determined by the product of the capture efficiency and 
the control device efficiency.
    Particulate means any material, except uncombined water, that exists 
as liquid or solid particles such as dust, smoke, mist, or fumes at 
standard conditions (760 millimeters of mercury, 0 degrees celsius).

[[Page 147]]

    Particulate HAP transfer means the introduction of a particulate HAP 
into other dry ingredients or a liquid solution.
    Removable parts cleaning means cleaning of parts that have been 
moved from their normal position to a wash tank or sink containing 
solvent for the purpose of cleaning.
    Research or laboratory facility means any stationary source whose 
primary purpose is to conduct research and development to develop new 
processes and products, where such source is operated under the close 
supervision of technically trained personnel and is not engaged in the 
manufacture of products for commercial sale in commerce, except in a de 
minimis manner.
    Separator means a device in the wastewater treatment system in which 
immiscible solvent is physically separated from the water with which it 
is mixed.
    Solvent storage tanks means the stationary tanks that are associated 
with magnetic tape operations and that store virgin solvent, spent 
solvent, cleaning solvent, solvent at any stage of the solvent recovery 
process, or any volatile compound. They do not serve a process function.
    Solvent recovery area means the collection of devices used to remove 
HAP emissions from process air, to recover the HAP, and to purify the 
HAP. Typically, this area contains a control device such as a carbon 
adsorber or condenser, the wastewater treatment system, and the 
distillation columns.
    Solvent recovery device means, for the purposes of this subpart, an 
add-on air pollution control device in which HAP is captured rather than 
destroyed. Examples include carbon adsorption systems and condensers.
    Supersack means a container of particulate from the manufacturer or 
supplier with attached feed tubes and that is used to transfer 
particulate under the following conditions: the feed tubes are attached 
directly to the mix preparation equipment, the attachment interface is 
sealed, and all openings on the mix transfer equipment are closed to the 
atmosphere.
    Temporary total enclosure means a total enclosure that is 
constructed for the sole purpose of measuring the fugitive emissions 
from an affected source. A temporary total enclosure must be constructed 
and ventilated (through stacks suitable for testing) so that it has 
minimal impact on the performance of the permanent capture system. A 
temporary total enclosure will be assumed to achieve total capture of 
fugitive emissions if it conforms to the requirements found in 
Sec. 63.705(c)(4)(i) and if all natural draft openings are at least four 
duct or hood equivalent diameters away from each exhaust duct or hood. 
Alternatively, the owner or operator may apply to the Administrator for 
approval of a temporary enclosure on a case-by-case basis.
    Total enclosure means a structure that is constructed around a 
gaseous emission source so that all gaseous pollutants emitted from the 
source are collected and ducted through a control device, such that 100 
percent capture efficiency is achieved. There are no fugitive emissions 
from a total enclosure. The only openings in a total enclosure are 
forced makeup air and exhaust ducts and any natural draft openings such 
as those that allow raw materials to enter and exit the enclosure for 
processing. All access doors or windows are closed during routine 
operation of the enclosed source. Brief, occasional openings of such 
doors or windows to accommodate process equipment adjustments are 
acceptable, but if such openings are routine or if an access door 
remains open during the entire operation, the access door must be 
considered a natural draft opening. The average inward face velocity 
across the natural draft openings of the enclosure must be calculated 
including the area of such access doors. The drying oven itself may be 
part of the total enclosure. A permanent enclosure that meets the 
requirements found in Sec. 63.705(c)(4)(i) is a total enclosure.
    Utilize means the use of HAP that is delivered to mix preparation 
equipment for the purpose of formulating coatings, the use of any other 
HAP (e.g., dilution solvent) that is added at any point in the 
manufacturing process, and the use of any HAP for cleaning activities. 
Alternatively, annual HAP utilization can be determined as net usage; 
that is, the HAP inventory at the beginning of a 12-month period,

[[Page 148]]

plus the amount of HAP purchased during the 12-month period, minus the 
amount of HAP in inventory at the end of a 12-month period.
    Vacuum injection system means a system in which a vacuum draws 
particulate from a storage container into a closed system that transfers 
particulates into the mix preparation equipment.
    Volatile organic compound (VOC) means any organic compound that 
participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions or that is measured 
by EPA Test Methods 18, 24, or 25A in appendix A of part 60 or an 
alternative test method as defined in Sec. 63.2.
    Volatile organic hazardous air pollutant (VOHAP) concentration means 
the concentration of an individually-speciated organic HAP in a 
wastewater discharge that is measured by Method 305 of appendix A to 40 
CFR part 63.
    Waste handling means processing or treatment of waste (liquid or 
solid) that is generated as a by-product of either the magnetic tape 
production process or cleaning operations.
    Waste handling device means equipment that is used to separate 
solvent from solid waste (e.g., filter dryers) or liquid waste (e.g., 
pot stills and thin film evaporators). The solvents are recovered by 
heating, condensing, and collection.
    Wastewater discharge means the water phase that is discharged from 
the separator in a wastewater treatment system.
    Wastewater treatment system means the assortment of devices in which 
the solvent/water mixture, generated when the carbon bed in the carbon 
adsorber is desorbed by steam, is treated to remove residual organics in 
the water.

limit is being established, the control device shall be operated in 
accordance with good air pollution control practices and in the same 
manner as it was operated to achieve the emission limitation for coating 
operations. Owners or operators choosing to establish such an 
alternative shall also comply with paragraphs (b)(11)(ii) (A) and (B) of 
this section.
    (A) The owner or operator shall submit the alternate outlet HAP 
concentration limit within 180 days after the compliance demonstration 
required by Sec. 63.7 of subpart A, to the Administrator, as required by 
Sec. 63.707(k)(1).
    (B) The Administrator will approve or disapprove the limit proposed 
in accordance with paragraph (b)(11)(ii)(A) of this section within 60 
days of receipt of the report required by Sec. 63.707(k)(1), and any 
other supplemental information requested by the Administrator to support 
the alternate limit.
    (c) Continuous compliance monitoring. Following the date on which 
the initial compliance demonstration is completed, continuous compliance 
with the

[[Page 156]]

standards shall be demonstrated as outlined in paragraphs (c), (d), (e), 
or (f) of this section.
    (1)(i) Each owner or operator of an affected source subject to

continuous emission monitors shall comply with performance specification 
(PS) 8 or 9 in 40 CFR part 60, appendix B, as appropriate depending on 
whether volatile organic compound (VOC) or HAP concentration is being 
measured. The requirements in appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 shall also be 
followed. In conducting the quarterly audits required by appendix F, 
owners or operators must challenge the monitors with compounds 
representative of the gaseous emission stream being controlled.
    (ii) All temperature monitoring equipment shall be installed, 
calibrated, maintained, and operated according to the manufacturer's 
specifications. The thermocouple calibration shall be verified or 
replaced every 3 months. The replacement shall be done either if the 
owner or operator chooses not to calibrate the thermocouple, or if the 
thermocouple cannot be properly calibrated.
    (iii) If the effluent from multiple emission points are combined 
prior to being channeled to a common control device, the owner or 
operator is required only to monitor the common control device, not each 
emission point.
    (3) Owners or operators complying with Sec. 63.703(c), (e)(1)(i), 
(f)(1)(i), or (i) through the use of a control device and establishing a 
site-specific operating parameter in accordance with Sec. 63.704(b)(1)

organic compound concentration level for the carbon adsorber outlet 
vent.
    (3) The probe inlet of the monitoring device shall be placed at 
approximately the center of the carbon adsorber outlet vent. The probe 
shall be held there for at least 5 minutes during which flow into the 
carbon adsorber is expected to occur. The maximum reading during that 
period shall be used as the measurement.
    (ii) If complying with Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (c)(3), (c)(4), 
(e)(1)(i), (f)(1)(i), or (i) through the use of a carbon adsorption 
system with a common exhaust stack for all of the carbon vessels, the 
owner or operator shall not operate the control device at an average 
control efficiency less than that required by Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), 
(c)(3), (c)(4), (e)(1)(i), or (f)(1)(i) or at an average outlet 
concentration exceeding the site-specific operating parameter value or 
that required by Sec. 63.703(i), for three consecutive adsorption 
cycles. Operation in this manner shall constitute a violation of 
Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (c)(3), (c)(4), (e)(1)(i), (f)(1)(i), or (i).
    (iii) If complying with Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (c)(3), (c)(4), 
(e)(1)(i), (f)(1)(i), or (i) through the use of a carbon adsorption 
system with individual exhaust stacks for each of the multiple carbon 
adsorber vessels, the owner or operator shall not operate any carbon 
adsorber vessel at an average control efficiency less than that required 
by Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (c)(3), (c)(4), (e)(1)(i), or (f)(1)(i), or at an 
average outlet concentration exceeding the site-specific operating

average outlet concentration exceeding the site-specific operating 
parameter value or that required by Sec. 63.703(c)(2) or (i), as 
calculated for any 3-hour period. Operation in this manner shall 
constitute a violation of Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4), 
(e)(1)(i), (f)(1)(i), or (i).
    (v) If complying with Sec. 63.703(c)(1) through the use of a

may:
    (A) monitor the VOC or HAP concentration of the adsorber exhaust 
daily or at intervals no greater than 20 percent of the design carbon 
replacement interval, whichever is greater; operation of the control 
device at a HAP or VOC concentration greater than that determined in 
accordance with Sec. 63.704(b)(1)(iii) shall constitute a violation of 
Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (e)(1)(i), or (f)(1)(i); or
    (B) replace the carbon in the carbon adsorber system with fresh 
carbon at a regular predetermined time interval as determined in 
accordance with Sec. 63.704(b)(5); failure to replace the carbon at this 
predetermined time interval shall constitute a violation of Sec. 63.703

Sec. 63.704(b)(4) shall install, calibrate, operate, and maintain a 
thermocouple to measure continuously the gas temperature both upstream 
and downstream of the catalyst bed whenever HAP from magnetic tape 
manufacturing operations are vented to the control device. Operation of 
the control device at an average upstream gas temperature, or at an 
average gas temperature difference across the catalyst bed, less than 
the operating parameter values established in accordance with 
Sec. 63.704(b)(4) for any 3-hour period shall constitute a violation of

operations are vented through the capture device. Operation of the 
capture device at an average value greater than or less than (as 
appropriate) the operating parameter value established in accordance 
with Sec. 63.704(b)(6) for any 3-hour period shall constitute a 
violation of Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4), (e)(1)(i), 
(f)(1)(i), or (i).
    (8) The owner or operator of an affected source complying with 
Sec. 63.703(c)(5) shall demonstrate continuous compliance by using a 
coating that has a HAP content of no greater than 0.18 kilograms of HAP

potentially divert a vent stream away from the control device used to 
comply with Sec. 63.703 (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4), (e)(1)(i), 
(f)(1)(i), or (i) shall:
    (i) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a flow indicator that 
provides a record of vent stream flow at least once every 15 minutes; 
records shall be generated as specified in Sec. 63.706(c)(1); and the

(d)(2) of this section.
    (1) An owner or operator that established the steam-to-feed ratio as 
the site-specific operating parameter in accordance with 
Sec. 63.704(b)(10)(i) shall continuously measure the steam-to-feed ratio 
whenever HAP-containing wastewater from magnetic tape manufacturing 
operations is being fed to the steam stripper. Operation of the steam 
stripper at a steam-to-feed ratio less than the operating parameter 
value or values established in accordance with Sec. 63.704(b)(10)(i) for 
any 3-hour period shall constitute a violation of Sec. 63.703(g).
    (2) An owner or operator that established the total outlet VOHAP 
concentration of the wastewater discharge as the site-specific operating 
parameter in accordance with Sec. 63.704(b)(10)(ii) shall measure the 
total VOHAP concentration of the wastewater discharge once per month. 
Operation of the control device at an outlet VOHAP concentration greater 
than the operating parameter value or values established in accordance 
with Sec. 63.704(b)(10)(ii) for any month shall constitute a violation 
of Sec. 63.703(g).
    (e) Owners or operators complying with Sec. 63.703(d)(2) of this 
subpart through the use of a baghouse or fabric filter shall perform 
visible emission testing each day that particulate HAP transfer occurs, 
using the procedures in Sec. 63.705(b)(10). Owners or operators shall 
also install, calibrate, and operate the instrumentation necessary to 
continuously monitor the ventilation air flow rate in the inlet duct to 
the baghouse or fabric filter whenever particulate HAP transfer occurs. 
The occurrence of visible emissions shall constitute a violation of 
Sec. 63.703(d)(2), and the operation of the baghouse or fabric filter at 
a flow rate less than the value or values established in accordance with 
Sec. 63.704(b)(7) for any 3-hour period shall constitute a violation of 
Sec. 63.703(d)(2).

(f)(1)(i), or (i), or a device other than a steam stripper to comply 
with Sec. 63.703(g) shall submit to the Administrator a description of 
the device, test data verifying the performance of the device, and 
appropriate site-specific operating parameters that will be monitored to 
demonstrate continuous compliance with the standard. The monitoring plan 
submitted by an owner or operator in accordance with this paragraph is 
subject to approval by the Administrator.



Sec. 63.705  Performance test methods and procedures to determine initial compliance.

    (a) Except as specified in Sec. 63.705(a) (1) through (3), to 
determine initial compliance with the emission limits under Sec. 63.703 
(c), (d)(2), (e)(1), (f)(1), and (g), the owner or operator shall 
conduct an initial performance demonstration as required under Sec. 63.7 
using the procedures and test methods listed in Sec. 63.7 and 
Sec. 63.705. If multiple emission points are vented to one common 
control device to meet the requirements of Sec. 63.703 (c), (d)(2), 
(e)(1), and (f)(1), only one performance test is required to demonstrate 
initial compliance for that group of emission points. This section also 
contains initial compliance demonstration procedures (other than 
testing) for owners or operators subject to Sec. 63.703 (c), (d)(1), 
(e)(1)(ii), (f)(1)(ii), and (g).
    (1) A control device (not enclosure) used to comply with Sec. 63.703 
(c), (e), or (f) does not need to be tested if each of the following 
criteria are met:
    (i) It is used to control gaseous HAP emissions from an existing 
affected source;
    (ii) It is operating prior to March 11, 1994;
    (iii) It is equipped with continuous emission monitors for 
determining inlet and outlet total HAP or VOC concentration, such that a 
percent efficiency can be calculated; and

[[Page 160]]

    (iv) The continuous emission monitors are used to demonstrate 
continuous compliance in accordance with Sec. 63.704(c)(3)(i).
    (2) The owner or operator is not required to conduct an initial 
performance test if the requirements of Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(iv) or 
Sec. 63.7(h) are met.
    (3) An owner or operator is not required to conduct an initial 
performance test for a capture device when:
    (i) The room, enclosure, or vent was previously tested to 
demonstrate compliance with subpart SSS of part 60; and
    (ii) Sufficient data were gathered during the test to establish 
operating parameter values in accordance with Sec. 63.704(b)(6) (i), 
(ii), and (iii).
    (b) When an initial compliance demonstration is required by this 
subpart, the procedures in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(10) of this 
section shall be used in determining initial compliance with the 
provisions of this subpart.
    (1) EPA Method 24 of appendix A of part 60 is used to determine the 
VOC content in coatings. If it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of 
the Administrator that plant coating formulation data are equivalent to 
EPA Method 24 results, formulation data may be used. In the event of any 
inconsistency between an EPA Method 24 test and an affected source's 
formulation data, the EPA Method 24 test will govern. For EPA Method 24, 
the coating sample must be a 1-liter sample taken into a 1-liter 
container at a location and time such that the sample will be 
representative of the coating applied to the base substrate (i.e., the 
sample shall include any dilution solvent or other VOC added during the 
manufacturing process). The container must be tightly sealed immediately 
after the sample is taken. Any solvent or other VOC added after the 
sample is taken must be measured and accounted for in the calculations 
that use EPA Method 24 results.
    (2) Formulation data is used to determine the HAP content of 
coatings.
    (3) Either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A of appendix A of part 60, 
as appropriate to the conditions at the site, shall be used to determine 
HAP or VOC concentration of air exhaust streams as required by 
Sec. 63.705(c). The owner or operator shall submit notice of the 
intended test method to the Administrator for approval along with the 
notification of the performance test required under Sec. 63.7(b). Method 
selection shall be based on consideration of the diversity of organic 
species present and their total concentration and on consideration of 
the potential presence of interfering gases. Except as indicated in 
paragraphs (b)(3) (i) and (ii) of this section, the test shall consist 
of three separate runs, each lasting a minimum of 30 minutes.
    (i) When either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A is to be used in the 
determination of the efficiency of a fixed-bed carbon adsorption system 
with a common exhaust stack for all the individual carbon adsorber 
vessels pursuant to Sec. 63.705(c) (2) or (4), the test shall consist of 
three separate runs, each coinciding with one or more complete sequences 
through the adsorption cycles of all of the individual carbon adsorber 
vessels.
    (ii) When either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A is to be used in 
the determination of the efficiency of a fixed-bed carbon adsorption 
system with individual exhaust stacks for each carbon adsorber vessel 
pursuant to Sec. 63.705(c) (3) or (4), each carbon adsorber vessel shall 
be tested individually. The test for each carbon adsorber vessel shall 
consist of three separate runs. Each run shall coincide with one or more 
complete adsorption cycles.
    (4) EPA Method 1 or 1A of appendix A of part 60 is used for sample 
and velocity traverses.
    (5) EPA Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D of appendix A of part 60 is used for 
velocity and volumetric flow rates.
    (6) EPA Method 3 of appendix A of part 60 is used for gas analysis.
    (7) EPA Method 4 of appendix A of part 60 is used for stack gas 
moisture.
    (8) EPA Methods 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 3, and 4 shall be performed, as 
applicable, at least twice during each test period.
    (9) Wastewater analysis shall be conducted in accordance with 
paragraph (b)(9)(i) or (b)(9)(ii) of this section.

[[Page 161]]

    (i) Use Method 305 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A and the equations 
in paragraphs (b)(9)(i) (A) and (B) of this section to determine the 
total VOHAP concentration of a wastewater stream.
    (A) The following equation shall be used to calculate the VOHAP 
concentration of an individually speciated HAP.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15DE94.003

where:

Ci = VOHAP concentration of the individually-speciated 
          organic HAP in the wastewater, parts per million by weight.
Cc = Concentration of the organic HAP (i) in the gas stream, 
          as measured by Method 305 of appendix A of this part, parts 
          per million by volume on a dry basis.
Ms = Mass of sample, from Method 305 of appendix A of this 
          part, milligrams.
MW = Molecular weight of the organic HAP (i), grams per gram-mole.
24.055 = Ideal gas molar volume at 293 deg. Kelvin and 760 millimeters 
          of mercury, liters per gram-mole.
Pi = Barometric pressure at the time of sample analysis, 
          millimeters mercury absolute.
760 = Reference or standard pressure, millimeters mercury absolute.
293 = Reference or standard temperature,  deg.Kelvin.
Ti = Sample gas temperature at the time of sample analysis, 
          deg.Kelvin.
t = Actual purge time, from Method 305 of appendix A of this part, 
          minutes.
L = Actual purge rate, from Method 305 of appendix A of this part, 
          liters per minute.
103 = Conversion factor, milligrams per gram.

    (B) Total VOHAP concentration (stream) can be determined by summing 
the VOHAP concentrations of all individually speciated organic HAP in 
the wastewater.

where:

Cstream=Total VOHAP concentration of wastewater stream.
n=Number of individual organic HAP (i) in the wastewater stream.
Ci=VOHAP concentration of individual organic HAP (i) 
          calculated according to the procedures in paragraph 
          (b)(9)(i)(A) of this section.

    (ii) Use a test method or results from a test method that measures 
organic HAP concentrations in the wastewater, and that has been 
validated according to section 5.1 or 5.3 of Method 301 of appendix A of 
this part. The specific requirement of Method 305 of appendix A of this 
part to collect the sample into polyethylene glycol would not be 
applicable.
    (A) If measuring the total VOHAP concentration of the exit stream in 
accordance with Secs. 63.703(g)(1)(ii) and 63.705(h)(2), the 
concentrations of the individual organic HAP measured in the water shall 
be corrected to their concentrations had they been measured by Method 
305 of appendix A of this part. This is done by multiplying each 
concentration by the compound-specific fraction measured factor 
(FM) listed in table 34 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart G.
    (B) If measuring the total HAP concentration of an inlet and outlet 
wastewater stream to demonstrate compliance with Sec. 63.703(g)(1)(i) 
and following the procedures of Sec. 63.705(h)(3), the concentrations of 
the individual organic HAP measured in the water do not need to be 
corrected.
    (10) EPA Method 22 of appendix A of part 60 is used to determine 
visible emissions. Visible emissions testing shall be conducted for a 
minimum of 6 minutes during a time when particulate HAP transfer, as 
defined in this subpart, is occurring.
    (c) Initial compliance demonstrations. Except as stipulated in 
Sec. 63.705(a), each owner or operator subject to the requirements of 
Sec. 63.703(c) must demonstrate initial compliance with the requirements

and (g) must demonstrate initial compliance with the requirements of 
this subpart by following the procedures of paragraphs (e), (f), (g), 
and (h) of this section, as appropriate.
    (1) To demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with 
Sec. 63.703(c)(1), (c)(3), or (c)(4) when emissions from only the 
affected coating operations are controlled by a dedicated solvent 
recovery device, each owner or operator of the affected coating 
operation may perform a liquid-liquid HAP or VOC material balance over 
rolling 7-day periods in lieu of demonstrating compliance through the 
methods in paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3), or (c)(4) of this section. Results 
of the material balances calculation performed to demonstrate initial 
compliance shall be submitted to the Administrator with the notification 
of compliance status required by Sec. 63.9(h) and Sec. 63.707(d). When 
demonstrating compliance by this procedure, Sec. 63.7(e)(3) of subpart A 
does not apply. The amount of liquid HAP or VOC applied and recovered 
shall be determined as discussed in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this 
section. The overall HAP or VOC emission reduction (R) is calculated 
using equation 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15DE94.005

affected HAP emission point(s); or

[[Page 163]]

    (B) Shut down all gaseous emission points not affected by this 
subpart and continue to exhaust fugitive emissions from the affected HAP 
emission points through any building ventilation system and other room 
exhausts such as drying ovens.
    All ventilation air must be vented through stacks suitable for 
testing.
    (iii) Operate the emission control device with all affected HAP

Sec. 63.705(b) (3) through (8);
    (ii) Assure that all HAP emissions from the affected HAP emission 
point(s) are segregated from gaseous emission points not affected by 
this subpart and that the emissions can be captured for measurement, as 
described in Sec. 63.705(c)(2)(ii) (A) and (B);
    (iii) Operate the emission control device with all affected HAP 
emission points connected and operating;

    (vii) For each HAP emission point subject to Sec. 63.703(c), 
compliance is demonstrated if the product of (Hsys)x(F) is 
equal to or greater than the overall HAP control efficiency required by 
Sec. 63.703(c)(1), (c)(3), or (c)(4).
    (4) An alternative method of demonstrating compliance with 
Sec. 63.703(c)(1) through (c)(4) is the installation of a total 
enclosure around the affected HAP emission point(s) and the ventilation 
of all HAP emissions from the total enclosure to a control device with 
the efficiency or outlet concentration specified in paragraph 
(c)(4)(iii) of this section. If this method is selected, the compliance 
test methods described in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this 
section are not required. Instead,

[[Page 164]]

each owner or operator of an affected source shall:
    (i) Demonstrate that a total enclosure is installed. An enclosure 
that meets the requirements in paragraphs (c)(4)(i) (A) through (D) of 
this section shall be considered a total enclosure. The owner or 
operator of an enclosure that does not meet these requirements may apply 
to the Administrator for approval of the enclosure as a total enclosure 
on a case-by-case basis. The enclosure shall be considered a total 
enclosure if it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Administrator 
that all HAP emissions from the affected HAP emission point(s) are 
contained and vented to the control device. The requirements for 
automatic approval are as follows:
    (A) Total area of all natural draft openings shall not exceed 5 
percent of the total surface area of the total enclosure's walls, floor, 
and ceiling;
    (B) All sources of emissions within the enclosure shall be a minimum 
of four equivalent diameters away from each natural draft opening;
    (C) Average inward face velocity (FV) across all natural draft 
openings shall be a minimum of 3,600 meters per hour as determined by 
the following procedures:
    (1) All forced makeup air ducts and all exhaust ducts are 
constructed so that the volumetric flow rate in each can be accurately 
determined by the test methods and procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.705(b) (4) and (5); volumetric flow rates shall be calculated 
without the adjustment normally made for moisture content; and
    (2) Determine FV by equation 6:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15DE94.010
    
    (D) The air passing through all natural draft openings shall flow 
into the enclosure continuously. If FV is less than or equal to 9,000 
meters per hour, the continuous inward flow of air shall be verified by 
continuous observation using smoke tubes, streamers, tracer gases, or 
other means approved by the Administrator over the period that the 
volumetric flow rate tests required to determine FV are carried out. If 
FV is greater than 9,000 meters per hour, the direction of airflow 
through the natural draft openings shall be presumed to be inward at all 
times without verification.
    (ii) Determine the control device efficiency using equation (2) or 
equations (4) and (5), as applicable, and the test methods and 
procedures specified in Sec. 63.705(b) (3) through (8).
    (iii) Be in compliance if either of the following criteria are met:
    (A) The installation of a total enclosure is demonstrated and the 
value of E determined from equation (2) (or the value of Hsys 
determined from equations (4) and (5), as applicable) is equal to or 
greater than the overall HAP control efficiency required by Sec. 63.703 
(c)(1), (c)(3), or (c)(4); or
    (B) When the owner or operator is subject to Sec. 63.703(c)(2), the 
installation of a total enclosure is demonstrated and the value of 
Caj at the outlet of the incinerator is demonstrated to be no 
greater than 20 ppmv by compound, on a dry basis.
    (5) To demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with 
Sec. 63.703(c)(5), each owner or operator of an affected source shall 
determine the mass of HAP contained in the coating per volume of coating 
solids applied for each batch of coating applied, according to the 
procedures of paragraphs (c)(5) (i) through (iii) of this section. If a 
batch of coating is identical to a previous batch of coating applied, 
the original

[[Page 165]]

calculations can be used to demonstrate the compliance of subsequent 
identical batches. The calculation of the HAP content of the coating 
used to demonstrate initial compliance with Sec. 63.703(c)(5) shall be 
submitted to the Administrator with the notification of compliance 
status required by Sec. 63.9(h) and Sec. 63.707(e). When demonstrating 
compliance by this procedure, Sec. 63.7(e)(3) of subpart A does not 
apply.

The design evaluation shall consider the vent stream composition, 
constituent concentrations, flow rate, relative humidity, and 
temperature, and shall establish the design exhaust vent stream organic 
compound concentration level, capacity of the carbon bed, type and 
working capacity of activated carbon used for the carbon bed, and design 
carbon replacement interval based on the total carbon working capacity 
of the control device and the emission point operating schedule.
    (d)(1) To demonstrate initial compliance with Sec. 63.703(c) when 
hard piping or ductwork is used to direct HAP emissions from a HAP 
source to the control device, each owner or operator shall demonstrate 
upon inspection that the criteria of paragraph (d)(1)(i) and paragraph 
(d)(1) (ii) or (iii) are met.
    (i) The equipment must be vented to a control device.
    (ii) The control device efficiency (E or Hsys, as

by compound, on a dry basis, as required by Sec. 63.703(c)(2).
    (iii) When a nonregenerative carbon adsorber is used, the ductwork 
from the affected emission point(s) must be vented to the control device 
and the carbon adsorber must be demonstrated, through the procedures of 
Sec. 63.705(c) (1), (2), (3), (4), or (6) to meet the requirements of 
Sec. 63.703(c)(1).

strippers, these specifications shall include at a minimum: feed rate, 
steam rate, number of theoretical trays, number of actual trays, feed 
composition, bottoms composition, overheads composition, and inlet feed 
temperature.
    (2) The owner or operator shall demonstrate the compliance of a 
treatment process with the parts per million by weight (ppmw) wastewater 
stream concentration limits specified in Sec. 63.703(g)(1)(ii) by

shall be determined using inlet and outlet flow meters, respectively.
    (B) The average HAP concentration of each individual HAP of the 
entering and exiting wastewater streams shall be determined according to 
the procedures specified in either paragraph (b)(9)(i)(A) or

or operator has a reliable method for making the required determination. 
For example, the record may be made by comparing the HAP solvent level 
to a permanent mark on the sink that corresponds to a 75 percent 
freeboard ratio. A HAP solvent level in the sink higher than the mark 
would indicate the minimum ratio has not been achieved.

operator of an affected source subject to the provisions of this subpart 
shall retain all records required by this subpart and subpart A for at 
least 5 years following their collection.

conditioning which uses directional and random orbital abrasive tools 
and aluminum oxide or nylon abrasive pads for the purpose of corrosion 
rework, substrate repair, prepaint surface preparation, and other 
maintenance activities.
    Natural draft opening means any opening in a room, building, or 
total enclosure that remains open during operation of the facility and 
that is not connected to a duct in which a fan is installed. The rate 
and direction of the natural draft through such an opening is a 
consequence of the difference in pressures on either side of the wall 
containing the opening.
    Non-chemical based depainting equipment means any depainting 
equipment or technique, including, but not limited to, media blasting 
equipment, that can depaint an aerospace vehicle or component in the

conducted under the close supervision of technically trained personnel, 
and is not involved in the manufacture of final or intermediate products 
for commerical purposes, except in a de mimnimis manner.
    Self-priming topcoat means a topcoat that is applied directly to an 
uncoated aerospace vehicle or component for purposes of corrosion 
prevention, environmental protection, and functional fluid resistance. 
More than one layer of identical coating formulation may be applied to 
the vehicle or component.

definition of a primer, topcoat, or self-priming topcoat, has additional 
performance criteria beyond those of primers, topcoats, and self-priming 
topcoats for specific applications. These performance criteria may 
include, but are not limited to, temperature or fire resistance, 
substrate compatibility, antireflection, temporary protection or 
marking, sealing, adhesively joining substrates, or enhanced corrosion 
protection. Individual specialty coatings are defined in appendix A to 
this subpart and in the CTG for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework 
Operations (EPA 453/R-97-004).
    Spot stripping means the depainting of an area where it is not 
technically feasible to use a non-chemical depainting technique.
    Spray gun means a device that atomizes a coating or other material 
and projects the particulates or other material onto a substrate.
    Stripper means a liquid that is applied to an aerospace vehicle or 
component to remove permanent coatings such as primers and topcoats.
    Surface preparation means the removal of contaminants from the 
surface of an aerospace vehicle or component, or the activation or 
reactivation of the surface in preparation for the application of a 
coating.
    Temporary total enclosure means a total enclosure that is 
constructed for the sole purpose of measuring the emissions from an 
affected source that are not delivered to an emission control device. A 
temporary total enclosure must be constructed and ventilated (through 
stacks suitable for testing) so that it has minimal impact on the 
performance of the permanent emission capture system. A temporary total 
enclosure will be assumed to achieve total capture of fugitive emissions 
if it conforms to the requirements found in Sec. 63.750(g)(4) and if all 
natural draft openings are at least four duct or hood equivalent 
diameters away from each exhaust duct or hood. Alternatively, the owner 
or operator may apply to the Administrator for approval of a temporary 
enclosure on a case-by-case basis.
    Topcoat means a coating that is applied over a primer on an 
aerospace vehicle or component for appearance, identification, 
camouflage, or protection. Coatings that are defined as specialty 
coatings are not included under this definition.
    Total enclosure means a permanent structure that is constructed 
around a gaseous emission source so that all gaseous pollutants emitted 
from the source are collected and ducted through a control device, such 
that 100% capture efficiency is achieved. There are no fugitive 
emissions from a total enclosure. The only openings in a total enclosure 
are forced makeup air and exhaust ducts and any natural draft openings 
such as those that allow raw materials to enter and exit the enclosure 
for processing. All access doors or windows are closed during routine 
operation of the enclosed source. Brief, occasional openings of such 
doors or windows to accommodate process equipment adjustments are 
acceptable, but if such openings are routine or if an access door 
remains open during the entire operation, the access door must be 
considered a natural draft opening. The average inward face velocity 
across the natural draft openings of the enclosure must be calculated 
including the area of such access doors. The drying oven itself may be 
part of the total enclosure. An enclosure that meets the requirements 
found in Sec. 63.750(g)(4) is a permanent total enclosure.
    Touch-up and repair operation means that portion of the coating 
operation that is the incidental application of

[[Page 178]]

coating used to cover minor imperfections in the coating finish or to 
achieve complete coverage. This definition includes out-of-sequence or 
out-of-cycle coating.
    Two-stage filter system means a dry particulate filter system using 
two layers of filter media to remove particulate. The first stage is 
designed to remove the bulk of the particulate and a higher efficiency 
second stage is designed to remove smaller particulate.
    Type I etchant means a chemical milling etchant that contains 
varying amounts of dissolved sulfur and does not contain amines.
    Type II etchant means a chemical milling etchant that is a strong 
sodium hydroxide solution containing amines.
    Volatile organic compound (VOC) means any compound defined as VOC in 
40 CFR 51.100. This includes any organic compound other than those 
determined by the EPA to be an exempt solvent. For purposes of 
determining compliance with emission limits, VOC will be measured by the 
approved test methods. Where such a method also inadvertently measures 
compounds that are exempt solvent, an owner or operator may exclude 
these exempt solvents when determining compliance with an emission 
standard.
    Waterborne (water-reducible) coating means any coating that contains 
more than 5 percent water by weight as applied in its volatile fraction.
    Waterwash system means a control system that utilizes flowing water 
(i.e., a conventional waterwash system) or a pumpless system to remove 
particulate emissions from the exhaust air stream in spray coating 
application or dry media blast depainting operations.

    (19) Qgv = the volumetric flow rate of each gas stream 
entering each individual carbon adsorber vessel (v) in either dry 
standard cubic meters per hour when EPA Method 18 is used to measure HAP 
or VOC concentration or in standard cubic meters per hour (wet basis) 
when EPA Method 25A is used to measure HAP or VOC concentration. For 
purposes of calculating the efficiency of the individual carbon adsorber 
vessel, the value of Qgv can be assumed to equal the value of 
Qhv measured for that carbon adsorber vessel.

Sec. 63.744  Standards: Cleaning operations.

    (a) Housekeeping measures. Each owner or operator of a new or 
existing cleaning operation subject to this subpart shall comply with 
the requirements in these paragraphs unless the cleaning solvent used is 
identified in Table 1 of this section or contains HAP and VOC below the 
de minimis levels specified in Sec. 63.741(f).
    (1) Place cleaning solvent-laden cloth, paper, or any other 
absorbent applicators used for cleaning in bags or other closed 
containers upon completing their use. Ensure that these bags and 
containers are kept closed at all times except when depositing or 
removing these materials from the container. Use bags and containers of 
such design so as to contain the vapors of the cleaning solvent. Cotton-
tipped swabs used for very small cleaning operations are exempt from 
this requirement.

[[Page 182]]

    (2) Store fresh and spent cleaning solvents, except semi-aqueous 
solvent cleaners, used in aerospace cleaning operations in closed 
containers.
    (3) Conduct the handling and transfer of cleaning solvents to or 
from enclosed systems, vats, waste containers, and other cleaning 
operation equipment that hold or store fresh or spent cleaning solvents 
in such a manner that minimizes spills.
    (b) Hand-wipe cleaning. Each owner or operator of a new or existing 
hand-wipe cleaning operation (excluding cleaning of spray gun equipment 
performed in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section) subject to 
this subpart shall use cleaning solvents that meet one of the 
requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) of this 
section. Cleaning solvent solutions that contain HAP and VOC below the 
de minimis levels specified in Sec. 63.741(f) are exempt from the 
requirements in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) of this section.
    (1) Meet one of the composition requirements in Table 1 of this 
section;
    (2) Have a composite vapor pressure of 45 mm Hg (24.1 in. 
H2 O) or less at 20  deg.C (68  deg.F); or
    (3) Demonstrate that the volume of hand-wipe solvents used in 
cleaning operations has been reduced by at least 60% from a baseline 
adjusted for production. The baseline shall be established as part of an 
approved alternative plan administered by the State. Demonstrate that 
the volume of hand-wipe cleaning solvents used in cleaning operations 
has been reduced by at least 60 percent from a baseline adjusted for 
production. The baseline shall be calculated using data from 1996 and 
1997, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Administrator or delegated 
State Authority. The baseline shall be approved by the Administrator or 
delegated State Authority and shall be included as part of the 
facility's title V or part 70 permit.
    (c) Spray gun cleaning. Each owner or operator of a new or existing 
spray gun cleaning operation subject to this subpart in which spray guns 
are used for the application of coatings or any other materials that 
require the spray guns to be cleaned shall use one or more of the 
techniques, or their equivalent, specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through 
(c)(4) of this section. Spray gun cleaning operations using cleaning 
solvent solutions that contain HAP and VOC below the de minimis levels 
specified in Sec. 63.741(f) are exempt from the requirements in 
paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section.

gun. Cleaning shall consist of forcing solvent through the gun.
    (ii) If leaks are found during the monthly inspection required in 
Sec. 63.751(a), repairs shall be made as soon as practicable, but no 
later than 15 days after the leak was found. If the leak is not repaired 
by the 15th day after detection, the cleaning solvent shall be removed, 
and the enclosed cleaner shall be shut down until the leak is repaired 
or its use is permanently discontinued.
    (2) Nonatomized cleaning. Clean the spray gun by placing cleaning 
solvent in the pressure pot and forcing it through the gun with the 
atomizing cap in place. No atomizing air is to be used. Direct the 
cleaning solvent from the spray gun into a vat, drum, or other waste 
container that is closed when not in use.
    (3) Disassembled spray gun cleaning. Disassemble the spray gun and 
clean the components by hand in a vat, which shall remain closed at all 
times except when in use. Alternatively, soak the components in a vat, 
which shall remain closed during the soaking period and when not 
inserting or removing components.
    (4) Atomizing cleaning. Clean the spray gun by forcing the cleaning 
solvent through the gun and direct the resulting atomized spray into a 
waste container that is fitted with a device designed to capture the 
atomized cleaning solvent emissions.

account capture and destruction or removal efficiencies.
    (2) Each control system installed on or after the effective date 
shall reduce organic HAP emissions to the atmosphere by 95 percent or 
greater. Reduction shall take into account capture and destruction or 
removal efficiencies, and may take into account the volume of chemical 
stripper used relative to baseline levels (e.g., the 95 percent 
efficiency may be achieved by controlling emissions at 81 percent 
efficiency with a control system and using 74 percent less stripper than 
in baseline applications). The baseline shall be calculated using data 
from 1996 and 1997, which shall be on a usage per aircraft or usage per 
square foot of surface basis.
    (3) The capture and destruction or removal efficiencies are to be 
determined using the procedures in Sec. 63.750(g) when a carbon adsorber 
is used and those in Sec. 63.750(h) when a control device other than a 
carbon adsorber is used.

performance test. For compliant and non-compliant coatings that are 
averaged together, each 30-day period is considered a performance test, 
unless the permitting agency specifies a shorter averaging period as 
part of an ambient ozone control program. When using a control device 
other than a carbon adsorber, three 1-hour runs constitute the test 
period for the initial and any subsequent performance test. When using a 
carbon adsorber, each rolling material balance period is considered a 
performance test.

Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(iv) or Sec. 63.7(h). The initial performance test shall 
be conducted according to the procedures and test methods specified in 
Sec. 63.7 and Sec. 63.750(g) for carbon adsorbers and in Sec. 63.750(h) 
for control devices other than carbon adsorbers. For carbon adsorbers, 
the initial performance test shall be used to establish the appropriate 
rolling material balance period for determining compliance. The 
procedures in paragraphs (d)(2)(i) through (d)(2)(vi) of this section 
shall be used in determining initial compliance with the provisions of 
this subpart for carbon adsorbers.
    (i)(A) When either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A is to be used in 
the determination of the efficiency of a fixed-bed carbon adsorption 
system with a common exhaust stack for all the individual carbon 
adsorber vessels pursuant to Sec. 63.750(g) (2) or (4), the test shall

procedures specified in Sec. 63.750(i).
    (iv) Operates all application techniques in accordance with the 
manufacturer's specifications or locally prepared operating procedures, 
whichever is more stringent.
    (4) The topcoat application operation is considered in compliance 
when the conditions specified in paragraphs (e)(4)(i) through (e)(4)(iv) 
of this section, as applicable, and in paragraph (f) of this section are 
met. Failure to meet any of the conditions identified in these 
paragraphs shall constitute noncompliance.

three 1-hour runs constitute the test period for the initial and any 
subsequent performance test. When a carbon adsorber is used, each 
rolling material balance period is considered a performance test. Each 
24-hour period is considered a performance test period for determining

consist of three separate runs, each coinciding with one or more 
complete sequences through the adsorption cycles of all of the 
individual carbon adsorber vessels.
    (B) When either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A is to be used in the

overall control efficiency of the control system, as determined using 
the procedures specified in Sec. 63.750(g) (or other control device as 
determined using the procedures specified in Sec. 63.750(h)), is equal 
to or greater than 81% for control systems installed before the 
effective date, or equal to or greater than 95% for control systems 
installed on or after the effective date, during the initial performance 
test and all subsequent material balances (or performance tests, as 
appropriate).
    (ii) For non-HAP depainting operations complying with 
Sec. 63.746(b)(1);
    (A) For any spot stripping and decal removal, the value of C, as 
determined using the procedures specified in Sec. 63.750(j), is less 
than or equal to 26 gallons of organic HAP-containing chemical stripper 
or 190 pounds of organic HAP per commercial aircraft depainted 
calculated on a yearly average; and is less than or equal to 50 gallons

flow rate is outside the limit(s) established for them and is not 
restarted until the pressure drop or water flow rate is returned within 
these limit(s), as required under Sec. 63.746(b)(4)(v).
    (h) Chemical milling maskant application operations--(1) Performance 
test periods. For uncontrolled chemical milling maskants that are not 
averaged, each 24-hour period is considered a performance test. For 
compliant and noncompliant chemical milling maskants that are averaged 
together, each 30-day period is considered a performance test, unless 
the permitting agency specifies a shorter period as part of an ambient 
ozone control program. When using a control device other than a carbon 
adsorber, three 1-hour runs constitute the test period for the initial 
and any subsequent performance test. When a carbon adsorber is used, 
each rolling material balance period is considered a performance test.
    (2) Initial performance tests. If a control device is used, each 
owner or operator shall conduct an initial performance test to 
demonstrate compliance with the overall reduction efficiency specified 
in Sec. 63.747(d), unless a waiver is obtained under either

tested individually. The test for each carbon adsorber vessel shall 
consist of three separate runs. Each run shall coincide

[[Page 194]]

with one or more complete adsorption cycles.
    (ii) EPA Method 1 or 1A of appendix A of part 60 is used for sample

Sec. 63.750  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Composition determination. Compliance with the hand-wipe 
cleaning solvent approved composition list specified in 
Sec. 63.744(b)(1) for hand-wipe cleaning solvents shall be demonstrated 
using data supplied by the manufacturer of the cleaning solvent. The 
data shall identify all components of the cleaning solvent and shall 
demonstrate that one of the approved composition definitions is met.
    (b) Vapor pressure determination. The composite vapor pressure of 
hand-wipe cleaning solvents used in a cleaning operation subject to this 
subpart shall be determined as follows:
    (1) For single-component hand-wipe cleaning solvents, the vapor 
pressure shall be determined using MSDS or other manufacturer's data, 
standard engineering reference texts, or other equivalent methods.
    (2) The composite vapor pressure of a blended hand-wipe solvent 
shall be determined by quantifying the amount of each organic compound 
in the blend using manufacturer's supplied data or a gas chromatographic 
analysis in accordance with ASTM E 260-91 or 96 (incorporated by 
reference--see Sec. 63.14 of Subpart A of this part) and by calculating 
the composite vapor pressure of the solvent by summing the partial 
pressures of each component. The vapor pressure of each component shall 
be determined using manufacturer's data, standard engineering reference 
texts, or other equivalent methods. The following equation shall be used 
to determine the composite vapor pressure:

Ww=Weight of water, grams.
We=Weight of non-HAP, nonVOC compound, grams.
MWi=Molecular weight of the ``i''th VOC compound, g/g-mole.
MWw=Molecular weight of water, g/g-mole.
MWe=Molecular weight of exempt compound, g/g-mole.

[[Page 195]]

PPc=VOC composite partial pressure at 20  deg.C, mm Hg.
VPi=Vapor pressure of the ``i''th VOC compound at 20  deg.C, 
          mm Hg.

    (c) Organic HAP content level determination--compliant primers and 
topcoats. For those uncontrolled primers and topcoats complying with the 
primer and topcoat organic HAP content limits specified in 
Sec. 63.745(c) without being averaged, the following procedures shall be 
used to determine the mass of organic HAP emitted per volume of coating 
(less water) as applied.
    (1) For coatings that contain no exempt solvents, determine the 
total organic HAP content using manufacturer's supplied data or Method 
24 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, to determine the VOC content. The VOC 
content shall be used as a surrogate for total HAP content for coatings 
that contain no exempt solvent. If there is a discrepancy between the 
manufacturer's formulation data and the results of the Method 24 
analysis, compliance shall be based on the results from the Method 24 
analysis.
    When Method 24 is used to determine the VOC content of water-
reducible coatings, the precision adjustment factors in Reference Method 
24 shall be used. If the adjusted analytical VOC content is less than 
the formulation solvent content, then the analytical VOC content should 
be set equal to the formulation solvent content.
    (2) For each coating formulation as applied, determine the organic 
HAP weight fraction, water weight fraction (if applicable), and density 
from manufacturer's data. If these values cannot be determined using the 
manufacturer's data, the owner or operator shall submit an alternative 
procedure for determining their values for approval by the 
Administrator. Recalculation is required only when a change occurs in 
the coating formulation.
    (3) For each coating as applied, calculate the mass of organic HAP 
emitted per volume of coating (lb/gal) less water as applied using 
equations 1, 2, and 3:

Dci=density (lb of coating per gal of coating) of coating i.
Wwi=weight fraction (expressed as a decimal) of water in 
          coating i.

WHi=weight fraction (expressed as a decimal) of organic HAP 
          in coating i.

          [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE95.006
          
where:

Hi=mass of organic HAP emitted per volume of coating i (lb/
          gal) less water as applied.
MHi=mass (lb) of organic HAP in one gal of coating i.
Vwi=volume (gal) of water in one gal of coating i.

topcoats. For those uncontrolled primers and topcoats that are averaged 
together in order to comply with the primer and topcoat organic HAP 
content limits specified in Sec. 63.745(c), the following procedure 
shall be used to determine the monthly volume-weighted average mass of 
organic HAP emitted per volume of coating (less water) as applied, 
unless the permitting agency specifies a shorter averaging period as 
part of an ambient ozone control program.
    (1)(i) Determine the total organic HAP weight fraction as applied of 
each coating. If any ingredients, including diluent solvent, are added 
to a coating prior to its application, the organic HAP weight fraction 
of the coating shall be determined at a time and location in the process 
after all ingredients have been added.
    (ii) Determine the total organic HAP weight fraction of each coating 
as applied each month.
    (A) If no changes have been made to a coating, either as supplied or 
as applied, or if a change has been made that has a minimal effect on 
the organic HAP content of the coating, the

[[Page 196]]

value previously determined may continue to be used until a change in 
formulation has been made by either the manufacturer or the user.
    (B) If a change in formulation or a change in the ingredients added 
to the coating takes place, including the ratio of coating to diluent 
solvent, prior to its application, either of which results in a more 
than minimal effect on the organic HAP content of the coating, the total 
organic HAP weight fraction of the coating shall be redetermined.
    (iii) Manufacturer's formulation data may be used to determine the 
total organic HAP content of each coating and any ingredients added to 
the coating prior to its application. If the total organic HAP content 
cannot be determined using the manufacturer's data, the owner or 
operator shall submit an alternative procedure for determining the total 
organic HAP weight fraction for approval by the Administrator.
    (2)(i) Determine the volume both in total gallons as applied and in 
total gallons (less water) as applied of each coating. If any 
ingredients, including diluent solvents, are added prior to its 
application, the volume of each coating shall be determined at a time 
and location in the process after all ingredients (including any diluent 
solvent) have been added.
    (ii) Determine the volume of each coating (less water) as applied 
each month, unless the permitting agency specifies a shorter period as 
part of an ambient ozone control program.
    (iii) The volume applied may be determined from company records.
    (3)(i) Determine the density of each coating as applied. If any 
ingredients, including diluent solvent, are added to a coating prior to 
its application, the density of the coating shall be determined at a 
time and location in the process after all ingredients have been added.
    (ii) Determine the density of each coating as applied each month, 
unless the permitting agency specifies a shorter period as part of an 
ambient ozone control program.
    (A) If no changes have been made to a coating, either as supplied or 
as applied, or if a change has been made that has a minimal effect on 
the density of the coating, then the value previously determined may 
continue to be used until a change in formulation has been made by 
either the manufacturer or the user.
    (B) If a change in formulation or a change in the ingredients added 
to the coating takes place, including the ratio of coating to diluent 
solvent, prior to its application, either of which results in a more 
than minimal effect on the density of the coating, then the density of 
the coating shall be redetermined.
    (iii) The density may be determined from company records, including 
manufacturer's data sheets. If the density of the coating cannot be 
determined using the company's records, including the manufacturer's 
data, then the owner or operator shall submit an alternative procedure 
for determining the density for approval by the Administrator.
    (4) Calculate the total volume in gallons as applied (less water) by 
summing the individual volumes of each coating (less water) as applied, 
which were determined under paragraph (d)(2) of this section.
    (5) Calculate the volume-weighted average mass of organic HAP in

          in coating i as applied that is being averaged during each 30-
          day period.
Dci=density (lb of coating per gal of coating) of coating i 
          as applied that is being averaged during each 30-day period.
Vci=volume (gal) of coating i as applied that is being 
          averaged during the 30-day period.

For those uncontrolled primers and topcoats complying with the primer 
and topcoat VOC content levels specified in Sec. 63.745(c) without being 
averaged, the following procedure shall be used to determine the mass of 
VOC emitted per volume of coating (less water and exempt solvents) as 
applied.
    (1) Determine the VOC content of each formulation (less water and 
exempt solvents) as applied using manufacturer's supplied data or Method 
24 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, to determine the VOC content. The VOC 
content shall be used as a surrogate for total HAP content for coatings 
that contain no exempt solvent. If there is a discrepancy between the 
manufacturer's formulation data and the results of the Method 24 
analysis, compliance shall be based on the results from the Method 24 
analysis.
    When Method 24 is used to determine the VOC content of water-
reducible coatings, the precision adjustment factors in Reference Method 
24 shall be used. If the adjusted analytical VOC content is less than 
the formulation solvent content, then the analytical VOC content should 
be set equal to the formulation solvent content.
    (2) For each coating applied, calculate the mass of VOC emitted per 
volume of coating (lb/gal) (less water and exempt solvents) as applied 
using equations 5, 6, and 7:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE95.008

where:

Vwi=volume (gal) of water in one gal of coating i.
Dci=density (lb of coating per gal of coating) of coating i.
Wwi=weight fraction (expressed as a decimal) of water in 
          coating i.
Dw=density of water, 8.33 lb/gal.

MVi=mass (lb) of VOC in one gal of coating i.
Dci=density (lb of coating per gal of coating) of coating i.
WVi=weight fraction (expressed as a decimal) of VOC in 
          coating i.

          [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MR98.002
          
where:

Gi=mass of VOC emitted per volume of coating i (lb/gal) (less 
          water and exempt solvents) as applied.
MVi=mass (lb) of VOC in one gal of coating i.
Vwi=volume (gal) of water in one gal of coating i.
VXi=volume (gal) of exempt solvents in one gal of coating i.

    (3)(i) If the VOC content is found to be different when EPA Method 
24 is used during an enforcement inspection from that used by the owner 
or operator in calculating Ga, compliance shall be based, 
except as provided in paragraph (e)(3)(ii) of this section, upon the VOC 
content obtained using EPA Method 24.
    (ii) If the VOC content of a coating obtained using Method 24 would 
indicate noncompliance as determined under either Sec. 63.749 (d)(3)(i) 
or (d)(4)(i), an owner or operator may elect to average the coating with 
other uncontrolled coatings and (re)calculate Gi (using the 
procedure specified in paragraph (f) of this section), provided 
appropriate and sufficient records were maintained for all coatings 
included in the average (re)calculation. The (re)calculated value of 
Gi (Ga in paragraph (f)) for the averaged coatings 
shall then be used to determine compliance.
    (f) VOC content level determination--averaged primers and topcoats. 
For those uncontrolled primers and topcoats that are averaged within 
their respective coating category in order to comply with the primer and 
topcoat VOC content limits specified in Sec. 63.745 (c)(2) and (c)(4), 
the following procedure shall be used to determine the monthly volume-
weighted average mass of VOC emitted per volume of coating (less water 
and exempt solvents) as applied, unless the permitting agency specifies 
a shorter averaging period as part of an ambient ozone control program.
    (1)(i) Determine the VOC content (lb/gal) as applied of each 
coating. If any ingredients, including diluent solvent, are added to a 
coating prior to its application, the VOC content of the coating shall 
be determined at a time and

[[Page 198]]

location in the process after all ingredients have been added.
    (ii) Determine the VOC content of each coating as applied each 
month, unless the permitting agency specifies a shorter period as part 
of an ambient ozone control program.
    (A) If no changes have been made to a coating, either as supplied or 
as applied, or if a change has been made that has a minimal effect on 
the VOC content of the coating, the value previously determined may 
continue to be used until a change in formulation has been made by 
either the manufacturer or the user.
    (B) If a change in formulation or a change in the ingredients added 
to the coating takes place, including the ratio of coating to diluent 
solvent, prior to its application, either of which results in a more 
than minimal effect on the VOC content of the coating, the VOC content 
of the coating shall be redetermined.
    (iii) Determine the VOC content of each primer and topcoat 
formulation (less water and exempt solvents) as applied using EPA Method 
24 or from manufacturer's data.
    (2)(i) Determine the volume both in total gallons as applied and in 
total gallons (less water and exempt solvents) as applied of each 
coating. If any ingredients, including diluent solvents, are added prior 
to its application, the volume of each coating shall be determined at a 
time and location in the process after all ingredients (including any 
diluent solvent) have been added.
    (ii) Determine the volume of each coating (less water and exempt 
solvents) as applied each day.
    (iii) The volume applied may be determined from company records.
    (3) Calculate the total volume in gallons (less water and exempt 
solvents) as applied by summing the individual volumes of each coating 
(less water and exempt solvents) as applied, which were determined under 
paragraph (f)(2) of this section.
    (4) Calculate the volume-weighted average mass of VOC emitted per 
unit volume (lb/gal) of coating (less water and exempt solvents) as 
applied for each coating category during each 30-day period using 
equation 8:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE95.011

where:

Ga=volume weighted average mass of VOC per unit volume of 
          coating (lb/gal) (less water and exempt solvents) as applied 
          during each 30-day period for those coatings being averaged.
n=number of coatings being averaged.
(VOC)ci=VOC content (lb/gal) of coating i (less water and 
          exempt solvents) as applied (as determined using the 
          procedures specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this section) that 
          is being averaged during the 30-day period.
Vci=volume (gal) of coating i (less water and exempt 
          solvents) as applied that is being averaged during the 30-day 
          period.
Clwes=total volume (gal) of all coatings (less water and 
          exempt solvents) as applied during each 30-day period for 
          those coatings being averaged.

    (5)(i) If the VOC content is found to be different when EPA Method 
24 is used during an enforcement inspection from that used by the owner 
or operator in calculating Ga, recalculation of Ga 
is required using the new value. If more than one coating is involved, 
the recalculation shall be made once using all of the new values.
    (ii) If recalculation is required, an owner or operator may elect to 
include in the recalculation of Ga uncontrolled coatings that 
were not previously included provided appropriate and sufficient records 
were maintained for these other coatings to allow daily recalculations.
    (iii) The recalculated value of Ga under either paragraph 
(f)(5)(i) or (f)(5)(ii) of this section shall be used to determine 
compliance.
    (g) Overall VOC and/or organic HAP control efficiency--carbon 
adsorber. Each owner or operator subject to the requirements of 
Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d) shall demonstrate 
initial compliance with the requirements of this subpart by following 
the procedures of paragraph (g)(1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) as applicable 
and paragraphs (6), (7), and (8) of this section. When an initial 
compliance demonstration is required

[[Page 199]]

by this subpart, the procedures in paragraphs (g)(9) through (g)(14) of 
this section shall be used in determining initial compliance with the 
provisions of this subpart.
    (1) To demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with 
Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d) when emissions are 
controlled by a dedicated solvent recovery device, each owner or 
operator of the affected operation may perform a liquid-liquid HAP or 
VOC material balance over rolling 7- to 30-day periods in lieu of 
demonstrating compliance through the methods in paragraph (g)(2), 
(g)(3), or (g)(4) of this section. Results of the material balance 
calculations performed to demonstrate initial compliance shall be 
submitted to the Administrator with the notification of compliance 
status required by Sec. 63.9(h) and by Sec. 63.753 (c)(1)(iv), 
(d)(3)(i), and (e)(3). When demonstrating compliance by this procedure, 
Sec. 63.7(e)(3) of subpart A does not apply. The amount of liquid HAP or 
VOC applied and recovered shall be determined as discussed in paragraph 
(g)(1)(iii) of this section. The overall HAP or VOC emission reduction 
(R) is calculated using equation 9:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE95.012

    (i) The value of RSi is zero unless the owner or operator 
submits the following information to the Administrator for approval of a 
measured RSi value that is greater than zero:
    (A) Measurement techniques; and
    (B) Documentation that the measured value of RSi exceeds 
zero.
    (ii) The measurement techniques of paragraph (g)(1)(i)(A) of this 
section shall be submitted to the Administrator for approval with the 
notification of performance test required under Sec. 63.7(b).
    (iii) Each owner or operator demonstrating compliance by the test 
method described in paragraph (g)(1) of this section shall:
    (A) Measure the amount of coating or stripper as applied;
    (B) Determine the VOC or HAP content of all coating and stripper 
applied using the test method specified in Sec. 63.750(c) (1) through 
(3) or (e) (1) and (2) of this section;
    (C) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate, according to the 
manufacturer's specifications, a device that indicates the amount of HAP 
or VOC recovered by the solvent recovery device over rolling 7- to 30-
day periods; the device shall be certified by the manufacturer to be 
accurate to within 2.0 percent, and this certification shall 
be kept on record;
    (D) Measure the amount of HAP or VOC recovered; and
    (E) Calculate the overall HAP or VOC emission reduction (R) for 
rolling 7- to 30-day periods using equation 9.
    (F) Compliance is demonstrated if the value of R is equal to or 
greater than the overall HAP control efficiencies required by 
Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d).
    (2) To demonstrate initial compliance with Sec. 63.745(d), 
Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d) when affected HAP emission points are 
controlled by an emission control device other than a fixed-bed carbon 
adsorption system with individual exhaust stacks for each carbon 
adsorber vessel, each owner or operator of an affected source shall 
perform a gaseous emission test using the following procedures.
    (i) Construct the overall HAP emission reduction system so that all 
volumetric flow rates and total HAP or VOC emissions can be accurately 
determined by the applicable test methods and procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.750(g) (9) through (14).
    (ii) Determine capture efficiency from the HAP emission points by 
capturing, venting, and measuring all HAP emissions from the HAP 
emission points. During a performance test, the owner or operator of 
affected HAP emission points located in an area with other gaseous 
emission sources not affected by this subpart shall isolate the affected 
HAP emission points from all other gaseous emission points by one of the 
following methods:
    (A) Build a temporary total enclosure around the affected HAP 
emission point(s); or
    (B) Shut down all gaseous emission points not affected by this 
subpart and continue to exhaust fugitive emissions

[[Page 200]]

from the affected HAP emission points through any building ventilation 
system and other room exhausts such as drying ovens. All ventilation air 
must be vented through stacks suitable for testing.
    (iii) Operate the emission control device with all affected HAP 
emission points connected and operating.
    (iv) Determine the efficiency (E) of the control device using 
equation 10:
    (v) Determine the efficiency (F) of the capture system using

    (vi) For each HAP emission point subject to Sec. 63.745(d), 
Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d), compliance is demonstrated if the 
product of (E) x (F) is equal to or greater than the overall HAP control 
efficiencies required under Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), or 
Sec. 63.747(d).
    (3) To demonstrate compliance with Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), 
or Sec. 63.747(d) when affected HAP emission points are controlled by a 
fixed-bed carbon adsorption system with individual exhaust stacks for 
each carbon adsorber vessel, each owner or operator of an affected 
source shall perform a gaseous emission test using the following 
procedures:
    (i) Construct the overall HAP emission reduction system so that each 
volumetric flow rate and the total HAP emissions can be accurately 
determined by the applicable test methods and procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.750(g) (9) through (14);
    (ii) Assure that all HAP emissions from the affected HAP emission 
point(s) are segregated from gaseous emission points not affected by 
this subpart and that the emissions can be captured for measurement, as 
described in paragraphs (g)(2)(ii) (A) and (B) of this section;
    (iii) Operate the emission control device with all affected HAP 
emission points connected and operating;
    (iv) Determine the efficiency (Hv) of each individual 
carbon adsorber vessel (v) using equation 12:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE95.014

    (v) Determine the efficiency of the carbon adsorption system 
(Hsys) by computing the average efficiency of the individual 
carbon adsorber vessels as weighted by the volumetric flow rate 
(Qhv) of each individual carbon adsorber vessel (v) using 
equation 13:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE95.015

    (vi) Determine the efficiency (F) of the capture system using 
equation 11.
    (vii) For each HAP emission point subject to Sec. 63.745(d), 
Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d), compliance is demonstrated if the 
product of (Hsys) x (F) is equal to or greater than the 
overall HAP control efficiency required by Sec. 63.745(d), 
Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d).
    (4) An alternative method of demonstrating compliance with 
Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d) is the installation of 
a total enclosure around the affected HAP emission point(s) and the 
ventilation of all HAP emissions from the total enclosure to a control 
device with the efficiency specified in paragraph (g)(4)(iii) of this 
section. If this method is selected, the compliance test methods 
described in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and (g)(3) of this section are 
not required. Instead, each owner or operator of an affected source 
shall:
    (i) Demonstrate that a total enclosure is installed. An enclosure 
that meets the requirements in paragraphs (g)(4)(i) (A) through (D) of 
this section shall be considered a total enclosure. The owner or 
operator of an enclosure

[[Page 201]]

that does not meet these requirements may apply to the Administrator for 
approval of the enclosure as a total enclosure on a case-by-case basis. 
The enclosure shall be considered a total enclosure if it is 
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Administrator that all HAP 
emissions from the affected HAP emission point(s) are contained and 
vented to the control device. The requirements for automatic approval 
are as follows:
    (A) The total area of all natural draft openings shall not exceed 5% 
of the total surface area of the total enclosure's walls, floor, and 
ceiling;
    (B) All sources of emissions within the enclosure shall be a minimum 
of four equivalent diameters away from each natural draft opening;
    (C) The average inward face velocity (FV) across all natural draft 
openings shall be a minimum of 3,600 meters per hour as determined by 
the following procedures:
    (1) All forced makeup air ducts and all exhaust ducts are 
constructed so that the volumetric flow rate in each can be accurately 
determined by the test methods and procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.750(g) (10) and (11); volumetric flow rates shall be calculated 
without the adjustment normally made for moisture content; and
    (2) Determine FV by equation 14:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE95.016
    
    (D) The air passing through all natural draft openings shall flow 
into the enclosure continuously. If FV is less than or equal to 9,000 
meters per hour, the continuous inward flow of air shall be verified by 
continuous observation using smoke tubes, streamers, tracer gases, or 
other means approved by the Administrator over the period that the 
volumetric flow rate tests required to determine FV are carried out. If 
FV is greater than 9,000 meters per hour, the direction of airflow 
through the natural draft openings shall be presumed to be inward at all 
times without verification.
    (ii) Determine the control device efficiency using equation 10 or 
equations 12 and 13, as applicable, and the test methods and procedures 
specified in Sec. 63.750(g) (9) through (14).
    (iii) Compliance shall be achieved if the installation of a total 
enclosure is demonstrated and the value of E determined from equation 10 
(or the value of Hsys determined from equations 12 and 13, as 
applicable) is equal to or greater than the overall HAP control 
efficiencies required under Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), or 
Sec. 63.747(d).
    (5) When nonregenerative carbon adsorbers are used to comply with 
Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d), the owner or operator 
may conduct a design evaluation to demonstrate initial compliance in 
lieu of following the compliance test procedures of paragraphs (g)(1), 
(2), (3), and (4) of this section. The design evaluation shall consider 
the vent stream composition, component concentrations, flow rate, 
relative humidity, and temperature, and shall establish the design 
exhaust vent stream organic compound concentration level, capacity of 
the carbon bed, type and working capacity of activated carbon used for 
the carbon bed, and design carbon replacement interval based on the 
total carbon working capacity of the control device and the emission 
point operating schedule.
    (6)(i) To demonstrate initial compliance with Sec. 63.745(d), 
Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d) when hard piping or ductwork is used 
to direct VOC and HAP emissions from a VOC and HAP source to the control 
device, each owner or operator shall demonstrate upon inspection that 
the criteria of paragraph (g)(6)(i)(A) and paragraph (g)(6)(i) (B) or 
(C) of this section VR/FD are met.
    (A) The equipment shall be vented to a control device.
    (B) The control device efficiency (E or Hsys, as 
applicable) determined using equation 10 or equations 12 and 13, 
respectively, and the test methods and procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.750(g) (9) through (14), shall be equal to or greater than the 
overall HAP control efficiency required by Sec. 63.745(d), 
Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d).
    (C) When a nonregenerative carbon adsorber is used, the ductwork 
from the affected emission point(s) shall be

[[Page 202]]

vented to the control device and the carbon adsorber shall be 
demonstrated, through the procedures of Sec. 63.750(g) (1), (2), (3), 
(4), or (5), to meet the requirements of Sec. 63.745(d), Sec. 63.746(c), 
or Sec. 63.747(d).
    (7) Startups and shutdowns are normal operation for this source 
category. Emissions from these activities are to be included when 
determining if the standards specified in Sec. 63.745(d), 
Sec. 63.746(c), or Sec. 63.747(d) are being attained.
    (8) An owner or operator who uses compliance techniques other than 
those specified in this subpart shall submit a description of those 
compliance procedures, subject to the Administrator's approval, in 
accordance with Sec. 63.7(f) of subpart A.
    (9) Either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A of appendix A of part 60, 
as appropriate to the conditions at the site, shall be used to determine 
VOC and HAP concentration of air exhaust streams as required by 
Sec. 63.750(g) (1) through (6). The owner or operator shall submit 
notice of the intended test method to the Administrator for approval 
along with the notification of the performance test required under 
Sec. 63.7(b). Method selection shall be based on consideration of the 
diversity of organic species present and their total concentration and 
on consideration of the potential presence of interfering gases. Except 
as indicated in paragraphs (g)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, the test 
shall consist of three separate runs, each lasting a minimum of 30 
minutes.
    (i) When either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A is to be used in the 
determination of the efficiency of a fixed-bed carbon adsorption system 
with a common exhaust stack for all the individual carbon adsorber 
vessels pursuant to paragraph (g) (2) or (4) of this section, the test 
shall consist of three separate runs, each coinciding with one or more 
complete sequences through the adsorption cycles of all of the 
individual carbon adsorber vessels.
    (ii) When either EPA Method 18 or EPA Method 25A is to be used in 
the determination of the efficiency of a fixed-bed carbon adsorption 
system with individual exhaust stacks for each carbon adsorber vessel 
pursuant to Sec. 63.750(g) (3) or (4), each carbon adsorber vessel shall 
be tested individually. The test for each carbon adsorber vessel shall 
consist of three separate runs. Each run shall coincide with one or more 
complete adsorption cycles.
    (10) EPA Method 1 or 1A of appendix A of part 60 is used for sample 
and velocity traverses.
    (11) EPA Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D of appendix A of part 60 is used

    (12) EPA Method 3 of appendix A of part 60 is used for gas analysis.
    (13) EPA Method 4 of appendix A of part 60 is used for stack gas 
moisture.
    (14) EPA Methods 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 3, and 4 shall be performed, as 
applicable, at least twice during each test period.

          or kg organic HAP per hour.

    (3) Determine the capture efficiency Fk of each capture 
system to which organic HAP and VOC emissions from coating operations 
are vented. The capture efficiency value shall be determined using 
Procedure T--Criteria for and Verification of a Permanent or Temporary 
Total Enclosure as found in appendix B to Sec. 52.741 of part 52 of this 
chapter for total enclosures, and the capture efficiency protocol 
specified in Sec. 52.741(a)(4)(iii) of part 52 of this chapter for all 
other enclosures.
    (i)(1) Alternative application method--primers and topcoats. Each 
owner or operator seeking to use an alternative application method (as 
allowed in Sec. 63.745(f)(1)(ix)) in complying with the standards for 
primers and topcoats shall use the procedures specified in paragraphs 
(i)(2)(i) and (i)(2)(ii) or (i)(2)(iii) of this section to determine

[[Page 204]]

the organic HAP and VOC emission levels of the alternative application 
technique as compared to either HVLP or electrostatic spray application 
methods.
    (2)(i) For the process or processes for which the alternative 
application method is to be used, the total organic HAP and VOC 
emissions shall be determined for an initial 30-day period, the period 
of time required to apply coating to five completely assembled aircraft, 
or a time period approved by the permitting agency. During this initial 
period, only HVLP or electrostatic spray application methods shall be 
used. The emissions shall be determined based on the volumes, organic 
HAP contents (less water), and VOC contents (less water and exempt 
solvents) of the coatings as applied.
    (ii) Upon implementation of the alternative application method, use 
the alternative application method in production on actual production 
parts or assemblies for a period of time sufficient to coat an 
equivalent amount of parts and assemblies with coatings identical to 
those used in the initial 30-day period. The actual organic HAP and VOC 
emissions shall be calculated for this post-implementation period.
    (iii) Test the proposed application method against either HVLP or 
electrostatic spray application methods in a laboratory or pilot 
production area, using parts and coatings representative of the 
process(es) where the alternative method is to be used. The laboratory 
test will use the same part configuration(s) and the same number of 
parts for both the proposed method and the HVLP or electrostatic spray 
application methods.
    (iv) Whenever the approach in either paragraph (i)(2)(ii) or 
(i)(2)(iii) of this section is used, the owner or operator shall 
calculate both the organic HAP and VOC emission reduction using 
equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR01SE98.001

where:

P=organic HAP or VOC emission reduction, percent.
Eb=organic HAP or VOC emissions, in pounds, before the 
          alternative application technique was implemented, as 
          determined under paragraph (i)(2)(i) of this section.
Ea=organic HAP of VOC emissions, in pounds, after the 
          alternative application technique was implemented, as 
          determined under paragraph (i)(2)(ii) of this section.

    (3) Each owner or operator seeking to demonstrate that an 
alternative application method achieves emission reductions equivalent 
to HVLP or electrostatic spray application methods shall comply with the 
following:
    (i) Each coating shall be applied such that the dried film thickness 
is within the range specified by the applicable specification(s) for the 
aerospace vehicle or component being coated.
    (ii) If no such dried film thickness specification(s) exists, the 
owner or operator shall ensure that the dried film thickness applied 
during the initial 30-day period is equivalent to the dried film 
thickness applied during the alternative application method test period 
for similar aerospace vehicles or components.
    (iii) Failure to comply with these dried film thickness requirements 
shall invalidate the test results obtained under paragraph (i)(2)(i) of 
this section.
    (j) Spot stripping and decal removal. Each owner or operator seeking 
to comply with Sec. 63.746(b)(3) shall determine the volume of organic 
HAP-containing chemical strippers or alternatively the weight of organic 
HAP used per aircraft using the procedure specified in paragraphs (j)(1) 
through (j)(3) of this section.
    (1) For each chemical stripper used for spot stripping and decal 
removal, determine for each annual period the total volume as applied or 
the total weight of organic HAP using the procedure specified in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section.
    (2) Determine the total number of aircraft for which depainting 
operations began during the annual period as determined from company 
records.
    (3) Calculate the annual average volume of organic HAP-containing 
chemical stripper or weight of organic HAP used for spot stripping and 
decal removal per aircraft using equation 20 (volume) or equation 21 
(weight):

    (1) For coatings that contain no exempt solvents, determine the 
total organic HAP content using manufacturer's supplied data or Method 
24 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A to determine the VOC content. The VOC 
content shall be used as a surrogate for total HAP content for coatings 
that contain no exempt solvent. If there is a discrepancy between the 
manufacturer's formulation data and the results of the Method 24 
analysis, compliance shall be based on the results from the Method 24 
analysis.
    When Method 24 is used to determine the VOC content of water-
reducible coatings, the precision adjustment factors in Reference Method 
24 shall be used. If the adjusted analytical VOC content is less than 
the formulation solvent content, then the analytical VOC content should 
be set equal to the formulation solvent content.

    (2)(i) If the VOC content is found to be different when EPA Method 
24 is used during an enforcement inspection from that used by the owner 
or operator in calculating Gi, compliance shall be based, 
except as provided in paragraph (m)(2)(ii) of this section, upon the VOC 
content obtained using EPA Method 24.
    (ii) If the VOC content of a chemical milling maskant obtained using

24 is used during an enforcement inspection from that used by the owner 
or operator in calculating Ga, recalculation of Ga 
is required using the new value. If more than one chemical milling 
maskant is involved, the recalculation shall be made once using all of 
the new values.
    (ii) If recalculation is required, an owner or operator may elect to 
include in the recalculation of Ga uncontrolled chemical 
milling maskants that were not previously included provided appropriate 
and sufficient records were maintained for these other chemical milling 
maskants to allow daily recalculations.
    (iii) The recalculated value of Ga under either paragraph 
(n)(4)(i) or (n)(4)(ii) of this section shall be used to determine

periods when the 3-hour average combustion temperature(s) is (are) less 
than the average combustion temperature(s) established under 
Sec. 63.751(b) (11) or (12) during the most recent performance test 
during which compliance was demonstrated;
    (ii) If a carbon adsorber is used,
    (A) Each rolling period when the overall control efficiency of the 
control system is calculated to be less than 81%, the initial material 
balance calculation, and any exceedances as demonstrated through the 
calculation; or,
    (B) For nonregenerative carbon adsorbers, submit the design 
evaluation, the continuous monitoring system performance report, and any 
excess emissions as demonstrated through deviations of monitored values.
    (iii) For control devices other than an incinerator or carbon 
adsorber, each exceedance of the operating parameter(s) established for 
the control device under the initial performance test during which 
compliance was demonstrated;
    (4) All chemical milling maskants currently in use that were not 
listed in the notification of compliance status or any other subsequent 
semiannual report;
    (5) Descriptions of any control devices currently in use that were 
not listed in the notification of compliance status or any subsequent 
report; and
    (6) If the operations have been in compliance for the semiannual

   Appendix A to Subpart GG of Part 63--Specialty Coating Definitions

    Ablative coating--A coating that chars when exposed to open flame or 
extreme temperatures, as would occur during the failure of an engine 
casing or during aerodynamic heating. The ablative char surface serves 
as an insulative barrier, protecting adjacent components from the heat 
or open flame.
    Adhesion promoter--A very thin coating applied to a substrate to 
promote wetting and form a chemical bond with the subsequently applied 
material.
    Adhesive bonding primer--A primer applied in a thin film to 
aerospace components for the purpose of corrosion inhibition and 
increased adhesive bond strength by attachment. There are two categories 
of adhesive bonding primers: primers with a design cure at 250  deg.F or 
below and primers with a design cure above 250  deg.F.
    Aerosol coating--A hand-held, pressurized, nonrefillable container 
that expels an adhesive or a coating in a finely divided spray when a 
valve on the container is depressed.
    Antichafe coating--A coating applied to areas of moving aerospace 
components that may rub during normal operations or installation.
    Bearing coating--A coating applied to an antifriction bearing, a 
bearing housing, or the area adjacent to such a bearing in order to 
facilitate bearing function or to protect base material from excessive 
wear. A material shall not be classified as a bearing coating if it can 
also be classified as a dry lubricative material or a solid film 
lubricant.
    Bonding maskant--A temporary coating used to protect selected areas 
of aerospace parts from strong acid or alkaline solutions during 
processing for bonding.
    Caulking and smoothing compounds--Semi-solid materials which are 
applied by hand application methods and are used to aerodynamically 
smooth exterior vehicle surfaces or fill cavities such as bolt hole 
accesses. A material shall not be classified as a caulking and smoothing 
compound if it can also be classified as a sealant.
    Chemical agent-resistant coating (CARC)--An exterior topcoat 
designed to withstand exposure to chemical warfare agents or the 
decontaminants used on these agents.
    Clear coating--A transparent coating usually applied over a colored 
opaque coating, metallic substrate, or placard to give improved gloss 
and protection to the color coat. In some cases, a clearcoat refers to 
any transparent coating without regard to substrate.
    Commercial exterior aerodynamic structure primer--A primer used on 
aerodynamic components and structures that protrude from the fuselage, 
such as wings and attached components, control surfaces, horizontal 
stabilizers, vertical fins, wing-to-body fairings, antennae, and landing 
gear and doors, for the purpose of extended corrosion protection and 
enhanced adhesion.
    Commercial interior adhesive--Materials used in the bonding of 
passenger cabin interior components. These components must meet the FAA 
fireworthiness requirements.

[[Page 222]]

    Compatible substrate primer--Includes two categories: compatible 
epoxy primer and adhesive primer. Compatible epoxy primer is primer that 
is compatible with the filled elastomeric coating and is epoxy based. 
The compatible substrate primer is an epoxy-polyamide primer used to 
promote adhesion of elastomeric coatings such as impact-resistant 
coatings. Adhesive primer is a coating that (1) inhibits corrosion and 
serves as a primer applied to bare metal surfaces or prior to adhesive 
application, or (2) is applied to surfaces that can be expected to 
contain fuel. Fuel tank coatings are excluded from this category.
    Corrosion prevention system--A coating system that provides 
corrosion protection by displacing water and penetrating mating 
surfaces, forming a protective barrier between the metal surface and 
moisture. Coatings containing oils or waxes are excluded from this 
category.
    Critical use and line sealer maskant--A temporary coating, not 
covered under other maskant categories, used to protect selected areas 
of aerospace parts from strong acid or alkaline solutions such as those 
used in anodizing, plating, chemical milling and processing of 
magnesium, titanium, high-strength steel, high-precision aluminum 
chemical milling of deep cuts, and aluminum chemical milling of complex 
shapes. Materials used for repairs or to bridge gaps left by scribing 
operations (i.e. line sealer) are also included in this category.
    Cryogenic flexible primer--A primer designed to provide corrosion 
resistance, flexibility, and adhesion of subsequent coating systems when 
exposed to loads up to and surpassing the yield point of the substrate 
at cryogenic temperatures (-275  deg.F and below).
    Cryoprotective coating--A coating that insulates cryogenic or 
subcooled surfaces to limit propellant boil-off, maintain structural 
integrity of metallic structures during ascent or re-entry, and prevent 
ice formation.
    Cyanoacrylate adhesive--A fast-setting, single component adhesive 
that cures at room temperature. Also known as ``super glue.''
    Dry lubricative material--A coating consisting of lauric acid, cetyl 
alcohol, waxes, or other non-cross linked or resin-bound materials which 
act as a dry lubricant.
    Electric or radiation-effect coating--A coating or coating system 
engineered to interact, through absorption or reflection, with specific 
regions of the electromagnetic energy spectrum, such as the ultraviolet, 
visible, infrared, or microwave regions. Uses include, but are not 
limited to, lightning strike protection, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) 
protection, and radar avoidance. Coatings that have been designated as 
``classified'' by the Department of Defense are exempt.
    Electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference (EMI) 
coating--A coating applied to space vehicles, missiles, aircraft 
radomes, and helicopter blades to disperse static energy or reduce 
electromagnetic interference.
    Elevated-temperature Skydrol-resistant commercial primer--A primer 
applied primarily to commercial aircraft (or commercial aircraft adapted 
for military use) that must withstand immersion in phosphate-ester (PE) 
hydraulic fluid (Skydrol 500b or equivalent) at the elevated temperature 
of 150  deg.F for 1,000 hours.
    Epoxy polyamide topcoat--A coating used where harder films are 
required or in some areas where engraving is accomplished in camouflage 
colors.
    Fire-resistant (interior) coating--For civilian aircraft, fire-
resistant interior coatings are used on passenger cabin interior parts 
that are subject to the FAA fireworthiness requirements. For military 
aircraft, fire-resistant interior coatings are used on parts subject to 
the flammability requirements of MIL-STD-1630A and MIL-A-87721. For 
space applications, these coatings are used on parts subject to the 
flammability requirements of SE-R-0006 and SSP 30233.
    Flexible primer--A primer that meets flexibility requirements such 
as those needed for adhesive bond primed fastener heads or on surfaces 
expected to contain fuel. The flexible coating is required because it 
provides a compatible, flexible substrate over bonded sheet rubber and 
rubber-type coatings as well as a flexible bridge between the fasteners, 
skin, and skin-to-skin joints on outer aircraft skins. This flexible 
bridge allows more topcoat flexibility around fasteners and decreases 
the chance of the topcoat cracking around the fasteners. The result is 
better corrosion resistance.
    Flight test coating--A coating applied to aircraft other than 
missiles or single-use aircraft prior to flight testing to protect the 
aircraft from corrosion and to provide required marking during flight 
test evaluation.
    Fuel tank adhesive--An adhesive used to bond components exposed to 
fuel and that must be compatible with fuel tank coatings.
    Fuel tank coating--A coating applied to fuel tank components to 
inhibit corrosion and/or bacterial growth and to assure sealant adhesion 
in extreme environmental conditions.
    High temperature coating--A coating designed to withstand 
temperatures of more than 350  deg.F.
    Insulation covering--Material that is applied to foam insulation to 
protect the insulation from mechanical or environmental damage.
    Intermediate release coating--A thin coating applied beneath 
topcoats to assist in removing the topcoat in depainting operations and 
generally to allow the use of less hazardous depainting methods.
    Lacquer--A clear or pigmented coating formulated with a 
nitrocellulose or synthetic

[[Page 223]]

resin to dry by evaporation without a chemical reaction. Lacquers are 
resoluble in their original solvent.
    Metalized epoxy coating--A coating that contains relatively large 
quantities of metallic pigmentation for appearance and/or added 
protection.
    Mold release--A coating applied to a mold surface to prevent the 
molded piece from sticking to the mold as it is removed.
    Nonstructural adhesive--An adhesive that bonds nonload bearing 
aerospace components in noncritical applications and is not covered in 
any other specialty adhesive categories.
    Optical anti-reflection coating--A coating with a low reflectance in 
the infrared and visible wavelength ranges, which is used for anti-
reflection on or near optical and laser hardware.
    Part marking coating--Coatings or inks used to make identifying 
markings on materials, components, and/or assemblies. These markings may 
be either permanent or temporary.
    Pretreatment coating--An organic coating that contains at least 0.5 
percent acids by weight and is applied directly to metal or composite 
surfaces to provide surface etching, corrosion resistance, adhesion, and 
ease of stripping.
    Rain erosion-resistant coating--A coating or coating system used to 
protect the leading edges of parts such as flaps, stabilizers, radomes, 
engine inlet nacelles, etc. against erosion caused by rain impact during 
flight.

strong, yet flexible, bond between two mating surfaces that may be of 
dissimilar materials.
    Scale inhibitor--A coating that is applied to the surface of a part 
prior to thermal processing to inhibit the formation of scale.
    Screen print ink--Inks used in screen printing processes during 
fabrication of decorative laminates and decals.
    Seal coat maskant--An overcoat applied over a maskant to improve 
abrasion and chemical resistance during production operations.
    Sealant--A material used to prevent the intrusion of water, fuel, 
air, or other liquids or solids from certain areas of aerospace vehicles 
or components. There are two categories of sealants: extrudable/
rollable/brushable sealants and sprayable sealants.
    Silicone insulation material--Insulating material applied to 
exterior metal surfaces for protection from high temperatures caused by 
atmospheric friction or engine exhaust. These materials differ from 
ablative coatings in that they are not ``sacrificial.''
    Solid film lubricant--A very thin coating consisting of a binder 
system containing as its chief pigment material one or more of the 
following: molybdenum, graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or 
other solids that act as a dry lubricant between faying surfaces.
    Specialized function coatings--Coatings that fulfill extremely 
specific engineering requirements that are limited in application and 
are characterized by low volume usage. This category excludes coatings 
covered in other Specialty Coating categories.
    Structural autoclavable adhesive--An adhesive used to bond load-
carrying aerospace components that is cured by heat and pressure in an 
autoclave.
    Structural nonautoclavable adhesive--An adhesive cured under ambient 
conditions that is used to bond load-carrying aerospace components or 
for other critical functions, such as nonstructural bonding in the 
proximity of engines.
    Temporary protective coating--A coating applied to provide scratch 
or corrosion protection during manufacturing, storage, or 
transportation. Two types include peelable protective coatings and 
alkaline removable coatings. These materials are not intended to protect 
against strong acid or alkaline solutions. Coatings that provide this 
type of protection from chemical processing are not included in this 
category.

  Subpart HH--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
             From Oil and Natural Gas Production Facilities

    Source: 64 FR 32628, June 17, 1999, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.760   Applicability and designation of affected source.

    (a) This subpart applies to the owners and operators of the emission 
points, specified in paragraph (b) of this section that are located at 
oil and natural gas production facilities that meet the

[[Page 224]]

specified criteria in paragraphs (a)(1) and either (a)(2) or (a)(3) of 
this section.
    (1) Facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants 
(HAP) as defined in Sec. 63.761. Emissions for major source 
determination purposes can be estimated using the maximum natural gas or 
hydrocarbon liquid throughput, as appropriate, calculated in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section. As an alternative to 
calculating the maximum natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput, 
the owner or operator of a new or existing source may use the facility's 
design maximum natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput to estimate 
the maximum potential emissions. Other means to determine the facility's 
major source status are allowed, provided the information is documented 
and recorded to the Administrator's satisfaction. A facility that is 
determined to be an area source, but subsequently increases its 
emissions or its potential to emit above the major source levels 
(without first obtaining and complying with other limitations that keep 
its potential to emit HAP below major source levels), and becomes a 
major source, must comply thereafter with all applicable provisions of 
this subpart starting on the applicable compliance date specified in 
paragraph (f) of this section. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to 
preclude a source from limiting its potential to emit through other 
appropriate mechanisms that may be available through the permitting 
authority.
    (i) If the owner or operator documents, to the Administrator's 
satisfaction, a decline in annual natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid 
throughput, as appropriate, each year for the 5 years prior to June 17, 
1999, the owner or operator shall calculate the maximum natural gas or 
hydrocarbon liquid throughput used to determine maximum potential 
emissions according to the requirements specified in paragraph 
(a)(1)(i)(A) of this section. In all other circumstances, the owner or 
operator shall calculate the maximum throughput used to determine 
whether a facility is a major source in accordance with the requirements 
specified in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this section.
    (A) The maximum natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput is the 
average of the annual natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput for 
the 3 years prior to June 17, 1999, multiplied by a factor of 1.2.
    (B) The maximum natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput is the 
highest annual natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput over the 5 
years prior to June 17, 1999, multiplied by a factor of 1.2.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall maintain records of the annual 
facility natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput each year and upon 
request submit such records to the Administrator. If the facility annual 
natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput increases above the maximum 
natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid throughput calculated in paragraph 
(a)(1)(i)(A) or (a)(1)(i)(B) of this section, the maximum natural gas or 
hydrocarbon liquid throughput must be recalculated using the higher 
throughput multiplied by a factor of 1.2.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall determine the maximum values for 
other parameters used to calculate emissions as the maximum for the 
period over which the maximum natural gas or hydrocarbon liquid 
throughput is determined in accordance with paragraph (a)(1)(i)(A) or 
(B) of this section. Parameters shall be based on either highest 
measured values or annual average.
    (2) Facilities that process, upgrade, or store hydrocarbon liquids 
prior to the point of custody transfer.
    (3) Facilities that process, upgrade, or store natural gas prior to 
the point at which natural gas enters the natural gas transmission and 
storage source category or is delivered to a final end user. For the 
purposes of this subpart, natural gas enters the natural gas 
transmission and storage source category after the natural gas 
processing plant, when present. If no natural gas processing plant is 
present, natural gas enters the natural gas transmission and storage 
source category after the point of custody transfer.
    (b) The affected sources to which the provisions of this subpart 
apply shall comprise each emission point located at a facility that 
meets the criteria

[[Page 225]]

specified in paragraph (a) of this section and listed in paragraphs 
(b)(1) through (4) of this section.
    (1) Each glycol dehydration unit;
    (2) Each storage vessel with the potential for flash emissions;
    (3) The group of all ancillary equipment, except compressors, 
intended to operate in volatile hazardous air pollutant service (as 
defined in Sec. 63.761), which are located at natural gas processing 
plants; and
    (4) Compressors intended to operate in volatile hazardous air 
pollutant service (as defined in Sec. 63.761), which are located at 
natural gas processing plants.
    (c) [Reserved]
    (d) The owner and operator of a facility that does not contain an 
affected source as specified in paragraph (b) of this section are not 
subject to the requirements of this subpart.
    (e) Exemptions. The facilities listed in paragraphs (e)(1) and 
(e)(2) of this section are exempt from the requirements of this subpart. 
Records shall be maintained as required in Sec. 63.10(b)(3).
    (1) A facility that exclusively processes, stores, or transfers 
black oil (as defined in Sec. 63.761) is not subject to the requirements 
of this subpart. For the purposes of this subpart, a black oil facility 
that uses natural gas for fuel or generates gas from black oil shall 
qualify for this exemption.
    (2) A facility, prior to the point of custody transfer, with a 
facilitywide actual annual average natural gas throughput less than 18.4 
thousand standard cubic meters per day and a facilitywide actual annual 
average hydrocarbon liquid throughput less than 39,700 liters per day.
    (f) The owner or operator of an affected source shall achieve 
compliance with the provisions of this subpart by the dates specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator of an affected source, the construction or 
reconstruction of which commenced before February 6, 1998, shall achieve 
compliance with provisions of this subpart no later than June 17, 2002 
except as provided for in Sec. 63.6(i). The owner or operator of an area 
source, the construction or reconstruction of which commenced before 
February 6, 1998, that increases its emissions of (or its potential to 
emit) HAP such that the source becomes a major source that is subject to 
this subpart shall comply with this subpart 3 years after becoming a 
major source.
    (2) The owner or operator of an affected source, the construction or 
reconstruction of which commences on or after February 6, 1998, shall 
achieve compliance with the provisions of this subpart immediately upon 
initial startup or June 17, 1999, whichever date is later. Area sources, 
the construction or reconstruction of which commences on or after 
February 6, 1998, that become major sources shall comply with the 
provisions of this standard immediately upon becoming a major source.
    (g) The following provides owners or operators of an affected source 
with information on overlap of this subpart with other regulations for 
equipment leaks. The owner or operator shall document that they are 
complying with other regulations by keeping the records specified in 
Sec. 63.774(b)(9).
    (1) After the compliance dates specified in paragraph (f) of this 
section, ancillary equipment and compressors that are subject to this 
subpart and that are also subject to and controlled under the provisions 
of 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKK, are only required to comply with the 
requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKK.
    (2) After the compliance dates specified in paragraph (f) of this 
section, ancillary equipment and compressors that are subject to this 
subpart and are also subject to and controlled under the provisions of 
40 CFR part 61, subpart V, are only required to comply with the 
requirements of 40 CFR part 61, subpart V.
    (3) After the compliance dates specified in paragraph (f) of this 
section, ancillary equipment and compressors that are subject to this 
subpart and are also subject to and controlled under the provisions of 
40 CFR part 63, subpart H, are only required to comply with the 
requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart H.
    (h) An owner or operator of an affected source that is a major 
source or is located at a major source and is subject to the provisions 
of this subpart is

[[Page 226]]

also subject to 40 CFR part 70 or part 71 operating permit requirements.

oil and gas leases, mineral fee tracts, lease tracts, subsurface or 
surface unit areas, surface fee tracts, surface lease tracts, or 
separate surface sites, whether or not connected by a road, waterway, 
power line or pipeline, shall not be considered part of the same 
facility. Examples of facilities in the oil and natural gas production 
source category include, but are not limited to, well sites, satellite 
tank batteries, central tank batteries, a compressor station that 
transports natural gas to a natural gas processing plant, and natural

    Glycol dehydration unit means a device in which a liquid glycol 
(including, but not limited to, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or 
triethylene glycol) absorbent directly contacts a natural gas stream and 
absorbs water in a contact tower or absorption column (absorber). The 
glycol contacts and absorbs water vapor and other gas stream 
constituents from the natural gas and becomes ``rich'' glycol. This 
glycol is then regenerated in the glycol dehydration unit reboiler. The 
``lean'' glycol is then recycled.
    Glycol dehydration unit baseline operations means operations 
representative of the glycol dehydration unit operations as of June 17, 
1999. For the purposes of this subpart, for determining the percentage 
of overall HAP emission reduction attributable to process modifications, 
baseline operations shall be parameter values (including, but not 
limited to, glycol circulation rate or glycol-HAP absorbency) that 
represent actual long-term conditions (i.e., at least 1 year). Glycol 
dehydration units in operation for less than 1 year shall document that 
the parameter values represent expected long-term operating conditions 
had process modifications not been made.

    Hazardous air pollutants or HAP means the chemical compounds listed 
in section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act. All chemical compounds listed in 
section 112(b) of the Act need to be considered when making a major 
source determination. Only the HAP compounds listed in Table 1 of this 
subpart need to be considered when determining compliance.
    Hydrocarbon liquid means any naturally occurring, unrefined 
petroleum liquid.
    In VHAP service means that a piece of ancillary equipment or 
compressor either contains or contacts a fluid (liquid or gas) which has 
a total volatile HAP (VHAP) concentration equal to or greater than 10 
percent by weight as determined according to the provisions of 
Sec. 63.772(a).

physically formed into one manufactured or assembled unit with the 
combustion section; rather, the energy recovery section is a separate 
section following the combustion section and the two are joined by ducts 
or connections carrying flue gas. The above energy recovery section 
limitation does not apply to an energy recovery section used solely to 
preheat the incoming vent stream or combustion air.

as in Sec. 63.2, except that:
    (1) Emissions from any oil or gas exploration or production well 
(with its associated equipment, as defined in this section), and 
emissions from any pipeline compressor station or pump station shall not 
be aggregated with emissions from other similar units to determine 
whether such emission points or stations are major sources, even when 
emission points are in a contiguous area or under common control;
    (2) Emissions from processes, operations, or equipment that are not 
part of the same facility, as defined in this section, shall not be 
aggregated; and
    (3) For facilities that are production field facilities, only HAP 
emissions from glycol dehydration units and storage vessels with the 
potential for flash emissions shall be aggregated for a major source 
determination. For facilities that are not production field facilities, 
HAP emissions from all HAP emission units shall be aggregated for a 
major source determination.

Sec. 63.762  Startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.

    (a) The provisions set forth in this subpart shall apply at all 
times except during startups or shutdowns, during malfunctions, and 
during periods of non-operation of the affected sources (or specific 
portion thereof) resulting in cessation of the emissions to which this 
subpart applies. However, during the startup, shutdown, malfunction, or 
period of non-operation of one portion of an affected source, all 
emission points which can comply with the specific provisions to which 
they are subject must do so during the startup, shutdown, malfunction, 
or period of non-operation.
    (b) The owner or operator shall not shut down items of equipment 
that are required or utilized for compliance with the provisions of this 
subpart during times when emissions are being routed to such items of 
equipment, if the shutdown would contravene requirements of this subpart 
applicable to such items of equipment. This paragraph does not apply if 
the item of equipment is malfunctioning, or if the owner or operator 
must shut down the equipment to avoid damage due to a contemporaneous 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction of the affected source or a portion 
thereof.
    (c) During startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions when the 
requirements of this subpart do not apply pursuant to paragraphs (a) and 
(b) of this section, the owner or operator shall implement, to the 
extent reasonably available, measures to prevent or minimize excess 
emissions to the maximum extent practical. For purposes of this 
paragraph, the term ``excess emissions'' means emissions in excess of 
those that would have occurred if there were no startup, shutdown, or 
malfunction, and the owner or operator complied with the relevant 
provisions of this subpart. The measures to be taken shall be identified 
in the applicable startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and may 
include, but are not limited to, air pollution control technologies, 
recovery technologies, work practices, pollution prevention, monitoring, 
and/or changes in the manner of operation of the source. Back-up control 
devices are not required, but may be used if available.
    (d) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, the owner 
or operator shall prepare a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan as 
required in Sec. 63.6(e)(3), except that the plan is not required to be 
incorporated by reference into the source's title V permit as specified 
in Sec. 63.6(e)(3)(i). Instead, the owner or operator shall keep the 
plan on record as required by Sec. 63.6(e)(3)(v). The failure of the 
plan to adequately minimize emissions during startup, shutdown, or 
malfunctions does not shield an owner or operator from enforcement 
actions.
    (e) Owners or operators are not required to prepare a startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan for any facility where all of the 
affected sources meet the exemption criteria specified in 
Sec. 63.764(e).

Sec. 63.772  Test methods, compliance procedures, and compliance demonstrations.

    (a) Determination of material VHAP or HAP concentration to determine 
the applicability of the equipment leak standards under this subpart 
(Sec. 63.769). Each piece of ancillary equipment and compressors are 
presumed to be in VHAP service or in wet gas service unless an owner or 
operator demonstrates that the piece of equipment is not in VHAP service 
or in wet gas service.
    (1) For a piece of ancillary equipment and compressors to be 
considered not in VHAP service, it must be determined that the percent 
VHAP content can be reasonably expected never to exceed 10.0 percent by 
weight. For the purposes of determining the percent VHAP content of the 
process fluid that is contained in or contacts a piece of ancillary 
equipment or compressor, Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, shall 
be used.
    (2) For a piece of ancillary equipment and compressors to be 
considered in wet gas service, it must be determined that it contains or 
contacts the field gas before the extraction of natural gas liquids.
    (b) Determination of glycol dehydration unit flowrate or benzene 
emissions. The procedures of this paragraph shall be used by an owner or 
operator to determine glycol dehydration unit natural gas flowrate or 
benzene emissions to meet the criteria for an exemption from control 
requirements under Sec. 63.764(e)(1).
    (1) The determination of actual flowrate of natural gas to a glycol 
dehydration unit shall be made using the procedures of either paragraph 
(b)(1)(i) or (b)(1)(ii) of this section.

[[Page 237]]

    (i) The owner or operator shall install and operate a monitoring 
instrument that directly measures natural gas flowrate to the glycol 
dehydration unit with an accuracy of plus or minus 2 percent or better. 
The owner or operator shall convert annual natural gas flowrate to a 
daily average by dividing the annual flowrate by the number of days per 
year the glycol dehydration unit processed natural gas.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall document, to the Administrator's 
satisfaction, that the actual annual average natural gas flowrate to the 
glycol dehydration unit is less than 85 thousand standard cubic meters 
per day.
    (2) The determination of actual average benzene emissions from a 
glycol dehydration unit shall be made using the procedures of either 
paragraph (b)(2)(i) or (b)(2)(ii) of this section. Emissions shall be 
determined either uncontrolled, or with federally enforceable controls 
in place.
    (i) The owner or operator shall determine actual average benzene 
emissions using the model GRI-GLYCalcTM, Version 3.0 or 
higher, and the procedures presented in the associated GRI-
GLYCalcTM Technical Reference Manual. Inputs to the model 
shall be representative of actual operating conditions of the glycol 
dehydration unit and may be determined using the procedures documented 
in the Gas Research Institute (GRI) report entitled ``Atmospheric Rich/
Lean Method for Determining Glycol Dehydrator Emissions'' (GRI-95/
0368.1); or
    (ii) The owner or operator shall determine an average mass rate of 
benzene emissions in kilograms per hour through direct measurement by 
performing three runs of Method 18, 40 CFR Part 60, appendix A (or an 
equivalent method), and averaging the results of the three runs. Annual 
emissions in kilograms per year shall be determined by multiplying the 
mass rate by the number of hours the unit is operated per year. This 
result shall be converted to megagrams per year.
    (c) No detectable emissions test procedure. (1) The no detectable 
emissions test procedure shall be conducted in accordance with Method 
21, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (2) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except that the instrument 
response factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for 
the average composition of the fluid and not for each individual organic 
compound in the stream.
    (3) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21, 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A.
    (4) Calibration gases shall be as follows:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 parts per million by volume hydrocarbon 
in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane in air at a concentration less than 10,000 
parts per million by volume.
    (5) An owner or operator may choose to adjust or not adjust the 
detection instrument readings to account for the background organic 
concentration level. If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the 
instrument readings for the background level, the background level value 
must be determined according to the procedures in Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A.
    (6)(i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(6)(ii) of this section, 
the detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of Method 
21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response factor 
criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the average 
composition of the process fluid, not each individual volatile organic 
compound in the stream. For process streams that contain nitrogen, air, 
or other inerts which are not organic hazardous air pollutants or 
volatile organic compounds, the average stream response factor shall be 
calculated on an inert-free basis.
    (ii) If no instrument is available at the facility that will meet 
the performance criteria specified in paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this 
section, the instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying by the 
average response factor of the process fluid, calculated on an inert-
free basis as described in paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this section.
    (7) An owner or operator must determine if a potential leak 
interface operates with no detectable emissions using

[[Page 238]]

the applicable procedure specified in paragraph (c)(7)(i) or (c)(7)(ii) 
of this section.
    (i) If an owner or operator chooses not to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, then 
the maximum organic concentration value measured by the detection 
instrument is compared directly to the applicable value for the 
potential leak interface as specified in paragraph (c)(8) of this 
section.
    (ii) If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, the 
value of the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic 
concentration value measured by the instrument and the background 
organic concentration value as determined in paragraph (c)(5) of this 
section is compared with the applicable value for the potential leak 
interface as specified in paragraph (c)(8) of this section.
    (8) A potential leak interface is determined to operate with no 
detectable organic emissions if the organic concentration value 
determined in paragraph (c)(7) of this section, is less than 500 parts 
per million by volume.
    (d) [Reserved]

paragraph (g) of this section only after at least 1 year of operation in 
compliance with the selected approach. Notification of such a change in 
the compliance method shall be reported in the next Periodic Report, as 
required in Sec. 63.775(e), following the change.
    (1) The owner or operator shall establish a site specific maximum or 
minimum monitoring parameter value (as appropriate) according to the 
requirements of Sec. 63.773(d)(5)(i).
    (2) The owner or operator shall calculate the daily average of the 
applicable monitored parameter in accordance with Sec. 63.773(d)(4).
    (3) Compliance with the operating parameter limit is achieved when 
the daily average of the monitoring parameter value calculated under 
paragraph (f)(2) of this section is either equal to or greater than the 
minimum or equal to or less than the maximum monitoring value 
established under paragraph (f)(1) of this section.
    (g) Compliance demonstration with percent reduction performance 
requirements--condensers. This paragraph applies to the demonstration of 
compliance with the performance requirements specified in 
Sec. 63.771(d)(1)(ii) or (e)(3) for condensers. Compliance shall be 
demonstrated using the procedures in paragraphs (g)(1) through (3) of 
this section.
    (1) The owner or operator shall establish a site-specific condenser 
performance curve according to Sec. 63.773(d)(5)(ii).
    (2) Compliance with the percent reduction requirement in 
Sec. 63.771(d)(1)(ii) or (e)(3) shall be demonstrated by the procedures 
in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator must calculate the daily average condenser 
outlet temperature in accordance with Sec. 63.773(d)(4).
    (ii) The owner or operator shall determine the condenser efficiency

    (iii) Except as provided in paragraphs (g)(2)(iii)(A) and (B) of 
this section, at the end of each operating day, the owner or operator 
shall calculate the 365-day average HAP emission reduction from the 
condenser efficiencies as determined in paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of this 
section for the preceding 365 operating days. If the owner or operator 
uses a combination of process modifications and a condenser in 
accordance with the requirements of Sec. 63.771(e), the 365-day average 
HAP emission reduction shall be calculated using the emission reduction 
achieved through process modifications and the condenser efficiency as 
determined in paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of this section, both for the 
previous 365 operating days.
    (A) After the compliance dates specified in Sec. 63.760(f), an owner 
or operator with less than 120 days of data for determining average HAP 
emission reduction, shall calculate the average HAP emission reduction 
for the first 120 days of operation after the compliance dates. 
Compliance with the performance requirements is achieved if the 120-day 
average HAP emission reduction is equal to or greater than 90.0 percent.

[[Page 243]]

    (B) After 120 days and no more than 364 days of operation after the 
compliance dates specified in Sec. 63.760(f), the owner or operator 
shall calculate the average HAP emission reduction as the HAP emission 
reduction averaged over the number of days between the current day and 
the applicable compliance date. Compliance with the performance 
requirements is achieved if the average HAP emission reduction is equal 
to or greater than 90.0 percent.
    (3) If the owner or operator has data for 365 days or more of 
operation, compliance is achieved with the emission limitation specified 
in Sec. 63.771(d)(1)(ii) or (e)(3) if the average HAP emission reduction 
calculated in paragraph (g)(2)(iii) of this section is equal to or 
greater than 95.0 percent.

section, the owner or operator may elect to use the

[[Page 247]]

procedures documented in the GRI report entitled, ``Atmospheric Rich/
Lean Method for Determining Glycol Dehydrator Emissions'' (GRI-95/
0368.1) as inputs for the model GRI-GLYCalcTM, Version 3.0 or

    (6) An excursion for a given control device is determined to have 
occurred when the monitoring data or lack of monitoring data result in 
any one of the criteria specified in paragraphs (d)(6)(i) through 
(d)(6)(v) of this section being met. When multiple operating parameters 
are monitored for the same control device and during the same operating 
day and more than one of these operating parameters meets an excursion 
criterion specified in paragraphs (d)(6)(i) through (d)(6)(v) of this 
section, then a single excursion is determined to have occurred for the 
control device for that operating day.
    (i) An excursion occurs when the daily average value of a monitored 
operating parameter is less than the minimum operating parameter limit 
(or, if applicable, greater than the maximum operating parameter limit) 
established for the operating parameter in accordance with the 
requirements of paragraph (d)(5)(i) of this section.
    (ii) An excursion occurs when the 365-day average condenser 
efficiency calculated according to the requirements specified in 
Sec. 63.772(g)(2)(iii) is less than 95.0 percent.
    (iii) If an owner or operator has less than 365 days of data, an 
excursion occurs when the average condenser efficiency calculated 
according to the procedures specified in Sec. 63.772(g)(2)(iii)(A) or 
(B) is less than 90.0 percent.
    (iv) An excursion occurs when the monitoring data are not available 
for at least 75 percent of the operating hours in a day.
    (v) If the closed-vent system contains one or more bypass devices 
that could be used to divert all or a portion of the gases, vapors, or 
fumes from entering the control device, an excursion occurs when:
    (A) For each bypass line subject to Sec. 63.771(c)(3)(i)(A) the flow 
indicator indicates that flow has been detected and that the stream has 
been diverted away from the control device to the atmosphere.
    (B) For each bypass line subject to Sec. 63.771(c)(3)(i)(B), if the 
seal or closure mechanism has been broken, the bypass line valve 
position has changed, the key for the lock-and-key type lock has been 
checked out, or the car-seal has broken.
    (7) For each excursion, except as provided for in paragraph (d)(8) 
of this section, the owner or operator shall be deemed to have failed to 
have applied control in a manner that achieves the required operating 
parameter limits. Failure to achieve the required operating parameter 
limits is a violation of this standard.
    (8) An excursion is not a violation of the operating parameter limit 
as specified in paragraphs (d)(8)(i) and (d)(8)(ii) of this section.
    (i) An excursion does not count toward the number of excused 
excursions allowed under paragraph (d)(8)(ii) of this section when the 
excursion occurs during any one of the following periods:
    (A) During a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction when the 
affected facility is operated during such period in accordance with the 
facility's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan; or
    (B) During periods of non-operation of the unit or the process that 
is vented to the control device (resulting in cessation of HAP emissions 
to which the monitoring applies).
    (ii) For each control device, or combinations of control devices 
installed on the same HAP emissions unit, one excused excursion is 
allowed per semiannual period for any reason. The initial semiannual 
period is the 6-month reporting period addressed by the first Periodic 
Report submitted by the owner or operator in accordance with 
Sec. 63.775(e) of this subpart.
    (9) Nothing in paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(8) of this section 
shall be construed to allow or excuse a monitoring parameter excursion 
caused by any activity that violates other applicable provisions of this 
subpart.

Subpart II--National Emission Standards for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair 
                            (Surface Coating)

    Source: 60 FR 64336, Dec. 15, 1995, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.780  Relationship of subpart II to subpart A of this part.

    Table 1 of this subpart specifies the provisions of subpart A of 
this part that apply to owners and operators of sources subject to the 
provisions of this subpart.



Sec. 63.781  Applicability.

    (a) The provisions of this subpart apply to shipbuilding and ship 
repair operations at any facility that is a major source.
    (b) The provisions of this subpart do not apply to coatings used in 
volumes of less than 200 liters (52.8 gallons) per year, provided the 
total volume of coating exempt under this paragraph does not exceed 
1,000 liters per year (264 gallons per year) at any facility. Coatings 
exempt under this paragraph shall be clearly labeled as ``low-usage 
exempt,'' and the volume of each such coating applied shall be 
maintained in the facility's records.
    (c) The provisions of this subpart do not apply to coatings applied 
with hand-held, nonrefillable, aerosol containers or to unsaturated 
polyester resin (i.e., fiberglass lay-up) coatings. Coatings applied to 
suitably prepared fiberglass surfaces for protective or decorative 
purposes are subject to this subpart.
    (d) The provisions in subpart A of this part pertaining to startups, 
shutdowns, and malfunctions and continuous monitoring do not apply to 
this source category unless an add-on control system is used to comply 
with this subpart in accordance with Sec. 63.783(c).



Sec. 63.782  Definitions.

    Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act (CAA), 
in subpart A of part 63, or in this section as follows:
    Add-on control system means an air pollution control device such as 
a carbon absorber or incinerator that reduces pollution in an air stream 
by destruction or removal prior to discharge to the atmosphere.
    Affected source means any shipbuilding or ship repair facility 
having surface coating operations with a minimum 1,000 liters (L) (264 
gallons [gal]) annual marine coating usage that is subject to this 
subpart.
    Air flask specialty coating means any special composition coating 
applied to interior surfaces of high pressure breathing air flasks to 
provide corrosion resistance and that is certified safe for use with 
breathing air supplies.
    Antenna specialty coating means any coating applied to equipment 
through which electromagnetic signals must pass for reception or 
transmission.
    Antifoulant specialty coating means any coating that is applied to 
the underwater portion of a vessel to prevent or reduce the attachment 
of biological organisms and that is registered with the EPA as a 
pesticide under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
    As applied means the condition of a coating at the time of 
application to the substrate, including any thinning solvent.
    As supplied means the condition of a coating before any thinning, as 
sold and delivered by the coating manufacturer to the user.
    Batch means the product of an individual production run of a coating 
manufacturer's process. A batch may vary in composition from other 
batches of the same product.
    Bitumens mean black or brown materials that are soluble in carbon 
disulfide and consist mainly of hydrocarbons.
    Bituminous resin coating means any coating that incorporates 
bitumens as a principal component and is formulated primarily to be 
applied to a substrate or surface to resist ultraviolet radiation and/or 
water.
    Certify means, in reference to the volatile organic compounds (VOC) 
content or volatile organic hazardous air pollutants (VOHAP) content of 
a coating, to attest to the VOC content as determined through analysis 
by Method

[[Page 258]]

24 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 or through use of forms and 
procedures outlined in appendix A of this subpart, or to attest to the 
VOHAP content as determined through an Administrator-approved test 
method. In the case of conflicting results, Method 24 of Appendix A to 
40 CFR part 60 shall take precedence over the forms and procedures 
outlined in appendix A to this subpart for the options in which VOC is 
used as a surrogate for VOHAP.
    Coating means any material that can be applied as a thin layer to a 
substrate and which cures to form a continuous solid film.
    Cold-weather time period means any time during which the ambient 
temperature is below 4.5  deg.C (40  deg.F) and coating is to be 
applied.
    Container of coating means the container from which the coating is 
applied, including but not limited to a bucket or pot.
    Cure volatiles means reaction products which are emitted during the 
chemical reaction which takes place in some coating films at the cure 
temperature. These emissions are other than those from the solvents in 
the coating and may, in some cases, comprise a significant portion of 
total VOC and/or VOHAP emissions.
    Epoxy means any thermoset coating formed by reaction of an epoxy 
resin (i.e., a resin containing a reactive epoxide with a curing agent).
    Exempt compounds means specified organic compounds that are not 
considered VOC due to negligible photochemical reactivity. Exempt 
compounds are specified in 40 CFR 51.100(s).
    Facility means all contiguous or adjoining property that is under 
common ownership or control, including properties that are separated 
only by a road or other public right-of-way.
    General use coating means any coating that is not a specialty 
coating.
    Hazardous air pollutants (HAP) means any air pollutant listed in or 
pursuant to section 112(b) of the CAA.
    Heat resistant specialty coating means any coating that during 
normal use must withstand a temperature of at least 204  deg.C (400 
deg.F).
    High-gloss specialty coating means any coating that achieves at 
least 85 percent reflectance on a 60 degree meter when tested by ASTM 
D523-89 (incorporation by reference--see Sec. 63.14).
    High-temperature specialty coating means any coating that during 
normal use must withstand a temperature of at least 426  deg.C (800 
deg.F).
    Inorganic zinc (high-build) specialty coating means a coating that 
contains 960 grams per liter (8 pounds per gallon) or more elemental 
zinc incorporated into an inorganic silicate binder that is applied to 
steel to provide galvanic corrosion resistance. (These coatings are 
typically applied at more than 2 mil dry film thickness.)
    Major source means any source that emits or has the potential to 
emit, in the aggregate, 9.1 megagrams per year (10 tons per year) or 
more of any HAP or 22.7 megagrams per year (25 tons per year) or more of 
any combination of HAP.
    Maximum allowable thinning ratio means the maximum volume of thinner 
that can be added per volume of coating without violating the standards 
of Sec. 63.783(a), as determined using Equation 1 of this subpart.
    Military exterior specialty coating or Chemical Agent Resistant 
Coatings (``CARC'') means any exterior topcoat applied to military or 
U.S. Coast Guard vessels that are subject to specific chemical, 
biological, and radiological washdown requirements.
    Mist specialty coating means any low viscosity, thin film, epoxy 
coating applied to an inorganic zinc primer that penetrates the porous

Sec. 63.783  Standards.

    (a) No owner or operator of any existing or new affected source 
shall cause or allow the application of any coating to a ship with an 
as-applied VOHAP content exceeding the applicable limit given in Table 2 
of this subpart, as determined by the procedures described in 
Sec. 63.785 (c)(1) through (c)(4). For the compliance procedures 
described in Sec. 63.785 (c)(1) through (c)(3), VOC shall be used as a 
surrogate for VOHAP, and Method 24 of Appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 shall 
be used as the definitive measure for determining compliance. For the 
compliance procedure described in Sec. 63.785(c)(4), an alternative test 
method capable of measuring independent VOHAP shall be used to determine 
compliance. The method must be submitted to and approved by the 
Administrator.
    (b) Each owner or operator of a new or existing affected source 
shall ensure that:
    (1) All handling and transfer of VOHAP-containing materials to and 
from containers, tanks, vats, drums, and piping systems is conducted in 
a manner that minimizes spills.
    (2) All containers, tanks, vats, drums, and piping systems are free 
of cracks, holes, and other defects and remain closed unless materials 
are being added to or removed from them.
    (c) Approval of alternative means of limiting emissions. (1) The 
owner or operator of an affected source may apply to the Administrator 
for permission to use an alternative means (such as an add-on control 
system) of limiting emissions from coating operations. The application 
must include:
    (i) An engineering material balance evaluation that provides a 
comparison of the emissions that would be achieved using the alternative 
means to those that would result from using coatings that comply with 
the limits in Table 2 of this subpart, or the results from an emission 
test that accurately measures the capture efficiency and control device 
efficiency achieved by the control system and the composition of the 
associated coatings so that the emissions comparison can be made;
    (ii) A proposed monitoring protocol that includes operating 
parameter values to be monitored for compliance and an explanation of 
how the operating parameter values will be established through a 
performance test; and
    (iii) Details of appropriate recordkeeping and reporting procedures.
    (2) The Administrator shall approve the alternative means of 
limiting emissions if, in the Administrator's judgment, postcontrol 
emissions of VOHAP per volume applied solids will be no

[[Page 261]]

greater than those from the use of coatings that comply with the limits 
in Table 2 of this subpart.
    (3) The Administrator may condition approval on operation, 
maintenance, and monitoring requirements to ensure that emissions from 
the source are no greater than those that would otherwise result from 
this subpart.



Sec. 63.784  Compliance dates.

    (a) Each owner or operator of an existing affected source shall 
comply within two years after the effective date of this subpart.
    (b) Each owner or operator of an existing unaffected area source 
that increases its emissions of (or its potential to emit) HAP such that 
the source becomes a major source that is subject to this subpart shall 
comply within 1 year after the date of becoming a major source.
    (c) Each owner or operator of a new or reconstructed source shall 
comply with this subpart according to the schedule in Sec. 63.6(b).

[60 FR 64336, Dec. 15, 1995, as amended at 61 FR 30816, June 18, 1996]



Sec. 63.785  Compliance procedures.

    (a) For each batch of coating that is received by an affected 
source, the owner or operator shall (see Figure 1 of this section for a 
flow diagram of the compliance procedures):
    (1) Determine the coating category and the applicable VOHAP limit as 
specified in Sec. 63.783(a).
    (2) Certify the as-supplied VOC content of the batch of coating. The 
owner or operator may use a certification supplied by the manufacturer 
for the batch, although the owner or operator retains liability should 
subsequent testing reveal a violation. If the owner or operator performs 
the certification testing, only one of the containers in which the batch 
of coating was received is required to be tested.
    (b)(1) In lieu of testing each batch of coating, as applied, the 
owner or operator may determine compliance with the VOHAP limits using 
any combination of the procedures described in paragraphs (c)(1), 
(c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(4) of this section. The procedure used for each 
coating shall be determined and documented prior to application.
    (2) The results of any compliance demonstration conducted by the 
affected source or any regulatory agency using Method 24 shall take 
precedence over the results using the procedures in paragraphs (c)(1), 
(c)(2), or (c)(3) of this section.
    (3) The results of any compliance demonstration conducted by the 
affected source or any regulatory agency using an approved test method 
to determine VOHAP content shall take precedence over the results using 
the procedures in paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
    (c)(1) Coatings to which thinning solvent will not be added. For 
coatings to which thinning solvent (or any other material) will not be 
added under any circumstance or to which only water is added, the owner 
or operator of an affected source shall comply as follows:
    (i) Certify the as-applied VOC content of each batch of coating.
    (ii) Notify the persons responsible for applying the coating that no 
thinning solvent may be added to the coating by affixing a label to each 
container of coating in the batch or through another means described in 
the implementation plan required in Sec. 63.787(b).
    (iii) If the certified as-applied VOC content of each batch of 
coating used during a calendar month is less than or equal to the 
applicable VOHAP limit in Sec. 63.783(a) (either in terms of g/L of 
coating or g/L of solids), then compliance is demonstrated for that 
calendar month, unless a violation is revealed using Method 24 of 
Appendix A to 40 CFR part 60.
    (2) Coatings to which thinning solvent will be added--coating-by-
coating compliance. For a coating to which thinning solvent is routinely 
or sometimes added, the owner or operator shall comply as follows:
    (i) Prior to the first application of each batch, designate a single 
thinner for the coating and calculate the maximum allowable thinning 
ratio (or ratios, if the affected source complies with the cold-weather 
limits in addition to the other limits specified in Table 2 of this 
subpart) for each batch as follows:

[[Page 262]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15DE95.191


where:

R=Maximum allowable thinning ratio for a given batch (L thinner/L 
          coating as supplied);
Vs=Volume fraction of solids in the batch as supplied (L 
          solids/L coating as supplied);
VOHAP limit=Maximum allowable as-applied VOHAP content of the coating (g 
          VOHAP/L solids);
mVOC=VOC content of the batch as supplied [g VOC (including 
          cure volatiles and exempt compounds on the HAP list)/L coating 
          (including water and exempt compounds) as supplied];
Dth=Density of the thinner (g/L).

    If Vs is not supplied directly by the coating 
manufacturer, the owner or operator shall determine Vs as 
follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15DE95.192


where:

mvolatiles=Total volatiles in the batch, including VOC, 
          water, and exempt compounds (g/L coating); and
Davg=Average density of volatiles in the batch (g/L).

    The procedures specified in Sec. 63.786(d) may be used to determine 
the values of variables defined in this paragraph. In addition, the 
owner or operator may choose to construct nomographs, based on Equation 
1 of this subpart, similar or identical to the one provided in appendix 
B of this subpart as a means of easily estimating the maximum allowable 
thinning ratio.
    (ii) Prior to the first application of each batch, notify painters 
and other persons, as necessary, of the designated thinner and maximum 
allowable thinning ratio(s) for each batch of the coating by affixing a 
label to each container of coating or through another means described in 
the implementation plan required in Sec. 63.787(b).
    (iii) By the 15th day of each calendar month, determine the volume 
of each batch of the coating used, as supplied, during the previous 
month.
    (iv) By the 15th day of each calendar month, determine the total 
allowable volume of thinner for the coating used during the previous 
month as follows:

          thinned, used during non-cold-weather days of the previous 
          month (L coating as supplied);
Rcold=Maximum allowable thinning ratio for each batch used 
          during cold-weather days (L thinner/L coating as supplied);
Vb[hyphen]cold=Volume of each batch, as supplied and before 
          being thinned, used during cold-weather days of the previous 
          month (L coating as supplied);
i=Each batch of coating; and
n=Total number of batches of the coating.

    (v) By the 15th day of each calendar month, determine the volume of 
thinner actually used with the coating during the previous month.
    (vi) If the volume of thinner actually used with the coating 
[paragraph (c)(3)(v) of this section] is less than or equal to the total 
allowable volume of thinner for the coating [paragraph (c)(3)(iv) of 
this section], then compliance is demonstrated for the coating for the 
previous month, unless a violation is revealed using Method 24 of 
Appendix A to 40 CFR part 60.
    (3) Coatings to which the same thinning solvent will be added--group 
compliance. For coatings to which the same thinning solvent (or other 
material) is routinely or sometimes added, the owner or operator shall 
comply as follows:
    (i) Designate a single thinner to be added to each coating during 
the month and ``group'' coatings according to their designated thinner.
    (ii) Prior to the first application of each batch, calculate the 
maximum allowable thinning ratio (or ratios, if the affected source 
complies with the cold-

[[Page 263]]

weather limits in addition to the other limits specified in Table 2 of 
this subpart) for each batch of coating in the group using the equations 
in paragraph (c)(2) of this section.
    (iii) Prior to the first application of each ``batch,'' notify 
painters and other persons, as necessary, of the designated thinner and 
maximum allowable thinning ratio(s) for each batch in the group by 
affixing a label to each container of coating or through another means 
described in the implementation plan required in Sec. 63.787(b).
    (iv) By the 15th day of each calendar month, determine the volume of 
each batch of the group used, as supplied, during the previous month.
    (v) By the 15th day of each calendar month, determine the total 
allowable volume of thinner for the group for the previous month using 
Equation 3 of this subpart.
    (vi) By the 15th day of each calendar month, determine the volume of 
thinner actually used with the group during the previous month.
    (vii) If the volume of thinner actually used with the group 
[paragraph (c)(3)(vi) of this section] is less than or equal to the 
total allowable volume of thinner for the group [paragraph (c)(3)(v) of 
this section], then compliance is demonstrated for the group for the 
previous month, unless a violation is revealed using Method 24 of 
Appendix A to 40 CFR part 60.
    (4) Demonstration of compliance through an alternative (i.e., other 
than Method 24 of Appendix A to 40 CFR part 60) test method. The owner 
or operator shall comply as follows:
    (i) Certify the as-supplied VOHAP content (g VOHAP/L solids) of each 
batch of coating.
    (ii) If no thinning solvent will be added to the coating, the owner 
or operator of an affected source shall follow the procedure described 
in Sec. 63.785(c)(1), except that VOHAP content shall be used in lieu of 
VOC content.
    (iii) If thinning solvent will be added to the coating, the owner or 
operator of an affected source shall follow the procedure described in 
Sec. 63.785(c)(2) or (3), except that in Equation 1 of this subpart: the 
term ``mVOC'' shall be replaced by the term 
``mVOHAP,'' defined as the VOHAP content of the coating as 
supplied (g VOHAP/L coating) and the term ``Dth'' shall be 
replaced by the term ``Dth[lpar]VOHAP[rpar]'' defined as the 
average density of the VOHAP thinner(s) (g/L).
    (d) A violation revealed through any approved test method shall 
result in a 1-day violation for enforcement purposes. A violation 
revealed through the recordkeeping procedures described in paragraphs 
(c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section shall result in a 30-day violation 
for enforcement purposes, unless the owner or operator provides 
sufficient data to demonstrate the specific days during which 
noncompliant coatings were applied.

Sec. 63.786  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) For the compliance procedures described in Sec. 63.785(c) (1) 
through (c)(3), Method 24 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, is the 
definitive method for determining the VOC content of coatings, as 
supplied or as applied. When a coating

[[Page 265]]

or thinner contains exempt compounds that are volatile HAP or VOHAP, the 
owner or operator shall ensure, when determining the VOC content of a 
coating, that the mass of these exempt compounds is included.
    (b) For the compliance procedure described in Sec. 63.785(c)(4), the 
Administrator must approve the test method for determining the VOHAP 
content of coatings and thinners. As part of the approval, the test 
method must meet the specified accuracy limits indicated below for 
sensitivity, duplicates, repeatability, and reproducibility coefficient 
of variation each determined at the 95 percent confidence limit. Each 
percentage value below is the corresponding coefficient of variation 
multiplied by 2.8 as in the ASTM Method E180-93: Standard Practice for 
Determining the Precision of ASTM Methods for Analysis and Testing of 
Industrial Chemicals (incorporation by reference--see Sec. 63.14).
    (1) Sensitivity. The overall sensitivity must be sufficient to 
identify and calculate at least one mass percent of the compounds of 
interest based on the original sample. The sensitivity is defined as ten 
times the noise level as specified in ASTM Method D3257-93: Standard 
Test Methods for Aromatics in Mineral Spirits by Gas Chromatography 
(incorporation by reference--see Sec. 63.14). In determining the 
sensitivity, the level of sample dilution must be factored in.
    (2) Repeatability. First, at the 0.1-5 percent analyte range the 
results would be suspect if duplicates vary by more than 6 percent 
relative and/or day to day variation of mean duplicates by the same 
analyst exceeds 10 percent relative. Second, at greater than 5 percent 
analyte range the results would be suspect if duplicates vary by more 
than 5 percent relative and/or day to day variation of duplicates by the 
same analyst exceeds 5 percent relative.
    (3) Reproducibility. First, at the 0.1-5 percent analyte range the 
results would be suspect if lab to lab variation exceeds 60 percent 
relative. Second, at greater than 5 percent range the results would be 
suspect if lab to lab variation exceeds 20 percent relative.
    (4) Any test method should include information on the apparatus, 
reagents and materials, analytical procedure, procedure for 
identification and confirmation of the volatile species in the mixture 
being analyzed, precision and bias, and other details to be reported. 
The reporting should also include information on quality assurance (QA) 
auditing.
    (5) Multiple and different analytical techniques must be used for 
positive identification if the components in a mixture under analysis 
are not known. In such cases a single column gas chromatograph (GC) may 
not be adequate. A combination of equipment may be needed such as a GC/
mass spectrometer or GC/infrared system. (If a GC method is used, the 
operator must use practices in ASTM Method E260-91 or 96: Standard 
Practice for Gas Chromatography [incorporation by reference--see 
Sec. 63.14].)
    (c) A coating manufacturer or the owner or operator of an affected 
source may use batch formulation data as a test method in lieu of Method 
24 of Appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 to certify the as-supplied VOC 
content of a coating if the manufacturer or the owner or operator has 
determined that batch formulation data have a consistent and 
quantitatively known relationship to Method 24 results. This 
determination shall consider the role of cure volatiles, which may cause 
emissions to exceed an amount based solely upon coating formulation 
data. Notwithstanding such determination, in the event of conflicting 
results, Method 24 of appendix A of 40 CFR part 60 shall take 
precedence.
    (d) Each owner or operator of an affected source shall use or ensure 
that the manufacturer uses the form and procedures mentioned in appendix 
A of this subpart to determine values for the thinner and coating 
parameters used in Equations 1 and 2 of this subpart. The owner or 
operator shall ensure that the coating/thinner manufacturer (or 
supplier) provides information on the VOC and VOHAP contents of the 
coatings/thinners and the procedure(s) used to determine these values.

which the violation(s) occurred, include the following information in 
his or her records:
    (i) A summary of the number and duration of deviations during the 
reporting period, classified by reason, including known causes for which 
a Federally-approved or promulgated exemption from an emission 
limitation or standard may apply.
    (ii) Identification of the data availability achieved during the 
reporting period, including a summary of the number and total duration 
of incidents that the monitoring protocol failed to perform in 
accordance with the design of the protocol or produced data that did not 
meet minimum data accuracy and precision requirements, classified by 
reason.
    (iii) Identification of the compliance status as of the last day of 
the reporting period and whether compliance was continuous or 
intermittent during the reporting period.
    (iv) If, pursuant to paragraph (b)(4)(iii) of this section, the 
owner or operator identifies any deviation as resulting from a known 
cause for which no Federally-approved or promulgated exemption from an 
emission limitation or standard applies, the monitoring report shall 
also include all records that the source is required to maintain that 
pertain to the periods during which such deviation occurred and:
    (A) The magnitude of each deviation;
    (B) The reason for each deviation;
    (C) A description of the corrective action taken for each deviation, 
including action taken to minimize each deviation and action taken to 
prevent recurrence; and
    (D) All quality assurance activities performed on any element of the 
monitoring protocol.
    (c) Reporting requirements. Before the 60th day following completion 
of each 6-month period after the compliance date specified in 
Sec. 63.784, each owner or operator of an affected source shall submit a 
report to the Administrator for each of the previous 6 months. The 
report shall include all of the information that must be retained 
pursuant to paragraphs (b) (2) through (3) of this section, except for 
that information specified in paragraphs (b)(2) (i) through (ii), 
(b)(2)(v), (b)(3)(i)(A), (b)(3)(ii)(A), and (b)(3)(iii)(A). If a 
violation at an affected source is detected, the source shall also 
report the information specified in paragraph (b)(4) of this section for 
the reporting period during which the violation(s) occurred. To the 
extent possible, the report shall be organized according to the 
compliance procedure(s) followed each month by the affected source.

a The limits are expressed in two sets of equivalent units. Either set
  of limits may be used for the compliance procedure described in Sec.
  63.785(c)(1), but only the limits expressed in units of g/L solids
  (nonvolatiles) shall be used for the compliance procedures described
  Sec.  63.785(c) (2) through (4).
b VOC (including exempt compounds listed as HAP) shall be used as a
  surrogate for VOHAP for those compliance procedures described in Sec.
  63.785(c) (1) through (3).
c To convert from g/L to lb/gal, multiply by (3.785 L/gal)(1/453.6 lb/g)
  or 1/120. For compliance purposes, metric units define the standards.

[[Page 270]]

 
d VOHAP limits expressed in units of mass of VOHAP per volume of solids
  were derived from the VOHAP limits expressed in units of mass of VOHAP
  per volume of coating assuming the coatings contain no water or exempt
  compounds and that the volumes of all components within a coating are
  additive.
e These limits apply during cold-weather time periods, as defined in
  Sec.  63.782. Cold-weather allowances are not given to coatings in
  categories that permit less than 40 percent volume solids
  (nonvolatiles). Such coatings are subject to the same limits
  regardless of weather conditions.

Subpart JJ--National Emission Standards for Wood Furniture Manufacturing 
                               Operations

    Source: 60 FR 62936, Dec. 7, 1995, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.800  Applicability.

    (a) The affected source to which this subpart applies is each 
facility that is engaged, either in part or in whole, in the manufacture 
of wood furniture or wood furniture components and that is located at a 
plant site that is a major source as defined in 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
A, Sec. 63.2. The owner or operator of a source that meets the 
definition for an incidental wood furniture manufacturer shall maintain 
purchase or usage records demonstrating that the source meets the 
definition in Sec. 63.801 of this subpart, but the source shall not be 
subject to any other provisions of this subpart.
    (b) A source that complies with the limits and criteria specified in 
paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3) of this section is an area source 
for the purposes of this subpart and is not subject to any other 
provision of this rule, provided that: In the case of paragraphs (b)(1) 
and (b)(2), finishing materials, adhesives, cleaning solvents and 
washoff solvents used for wood furniture or wood furniture component 
manufacturing operations account for at least 90 percent of annual HAP 
emissions at the plant site, and if the plant site has HAP emissions 
that do not originate from the listed materials, the owner or operator 
shall keep any records necessary to demonstrate that the 90 percent 
criterion is being met. A source that initially relies on the limits and 
criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) to become an 
area source, but subsequently exceeds the relevant limit (without first 
obtaining and complying with other limits that keep its potential to 
emit hazardous air pollutants below major source levels), becomes a 
major source and must comply thereafter with all applicable provisions 
of this subpart starting on the applicable compliance date in 
Sec. 63.800. Nothing in this paragraph (b) is intended to preclude a 
source from limiting its potential to emit through other appropriate 
mechanisms that may be available through the permitting authority.
    (1) The owner or operator of the source uses no more than 250 
gallons per month, for every month, of coating, gluing, cleaning, and 
washoff materials at the source, including materials used for source 
categories other than wood furniture (surface coating), but excluding 
materials used in routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance, 
personal uses by employees or other persons, the use of products for the 
purpose of maintaining motor vehicles operated by the facility, or the 
use of toxic chemicals contained in intake water (used for processing or 
noncontact cooling) or intake air (used either as compressed air or for 
combustion). The owner or operator shall maintain records of the total 
gallons of coating, gluing, cleaning, and washoff materials used each 
month, and upon request submit such records to the Administrator. These 
records shall be maintained for five years.
    (2) The owner or operator of the source uses no more than 3,000 
gallons per rolling 12-month period, for every 12-month period, of 
coating, gluing, cleaning, and washoff materials at the source, 
including materials used for source categories other than wood furniture 
(surface coating), but excluding materials used in routine janitorial or 
facility grounds maintenance, personal uses by employees or other 
persons, the use of products for the purpose of maintaining motor 
vehicles operated by the facility, or the use of toxic chemicals 
contained in intake water (used for processing or noncontact cooling) or 
intake air (used either as compressed air or for combustion). A rolling 
12-month period includes the previous 12 months of operation. The owner 
or operator of the source shall maintain records of the total gallons of 
coating, gluing, cleaning, and washoff materials used each month and the 
total gallons used each previous month, and upon request submit such 
records to the Administrator. Because records are needed over the 
previous set of 12 months, the owner or operator shall keep monthly 
records beginning no less than one year before the compliance date 
specified in Sec. 63.800(e).

[[Page 273]]

Records shall be maintained for five years.
    (3) The source emits no more than 4.5 Mg (5 tons) of any one HAP per 
rolling 12-month period and no more than 11.4 Mg (12.5 tons) of any 
combination of HAP per rolling 12-month period, and at least 90 percent 
of the plantwide emissions per rolling 12-month period are associated 
with the manufacture of wood furniture or wood furniture components.
    (c) This subpart does not apply to research or laboratory facilities 
as defined in Sec. 63.801.
    (d) Owners or operators of affected sources shall also comply with 
the requirements of subpart A of this part (General Provisions), 
according to the applicability of subpart A to such sources, as 
identified in Table 1 of this subpart.
    (e) The compliance date for existing affected sources that emit less 
than 50 tons per year of HAP in 1996 is December 7, 1998. The compliance 
date for existing affected sources that emit 50 tons or more of 
hazardous air pollutants in 1996 is November 21, 1997. The owner or 
operator of an existing area source that increases its emissions of (or 
its potential to emit) HAP such that the source becomes a major source 
that is subject to this subpart shall comply with this subpart one year 
after becoming a major source.
    (f) New affected sources must comply with the provisions of this 
standard immediately upon startup or by December 7, 1995, whichever is 
later. New area sources that become major sources shall comply with the 
provisions of this standard immediately upon becoming a major source.
    (g) Reconstructed affected sources are subject to the requirements 
for new affected sources. The costs associated with the purchase and 
installation of air pollution control equipment (e.g., incinerators, 
carbon adsorbers, etc.) are not considered in determining whether the 
facility has been reconstructed, unless the control equipment is 
required as part of the process (e.g., product recovery). Additionally, 
the costs of retrofitting and replacement of equipment that is installed 
specifically to comply with this subpart are not considered 
reconstruction costs. For example, an affected source may convert to 
waterborne coatings to meet the requirements of this subpart. At most 
facilities, this conversion will require the replacement of existing 
storage tanks, mix equipment, and transfer lines. The cost of replacing 
the equipment is not considered in determining whether the facility has 
been reconstructed.

the meaning given to them in the CAA and in subpart A (General 
Provisions) of this part.
    Adhesive means any chemical substance that is applied for the 
purpose of bonding two surfaces together other than by mechanical means. 
Under this subpart, adhesives shall not be considered coatings or 
finishing materials. Products used on humans and animals, adhesive tape, 
contact paper, or any other product with an adhesive incorporated onto 
or in an inert substrate shall not be considered adhesives under this 
subpart.
    Administrator means the Administrator of the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency or his or her authorized representative.
    Aerosol adhesive means an adhesive that is dispensed from a 
pressurized container as a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles 
in gas.
    Affected source means a wood furniture manufacturing facility that 
is engaged, either in part or in whole, in the manufacture of wood 
furniture or wood furniture components and that is located at a plant 
site that is a major source as defined in 40 CFR part 63.2, excluding 
sources that meet the criteria established in Sec. 63.800(a), (b) and 
(c) of this subpart.
    Alternative method means any method of sampling and analyzing for an 
air pollutant that is not a reference or equivalent method but has been 
demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction to, in specific cases, 
produce results adequate for a determination of compliance.

[[Page 274]]

    As applied means the HAP and solids content of the coating or 
contact adhesive that is actually used for coating or gluing the 
substrate. It includes the contribution of materials used for in-house 
dilution of the coating or contact adhesive.
    Basecoat means a coat of colored material, usually opaque, that is 
applied before graining inks, glazing coats, or other opaque finishing 
materials, and is usually topcoated for protection.
    Baseline conditions means the conditions that exist prior to an 
affected source implementing controls, such as a control system.
    Building enclosure means a building housing a process that meets the 
requirements of a temporary total enclosure. The EPA Method 204E is used 
to identify all emission points from the building enclosure and to 
determine which emission points must be tested. For additional 
information see Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency, January 
1994. Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. IV-B-1.
    Capture device means a hood, enclosed room, floor sweep, or other 
means of collecting solvent emissions or other pollutants into a duct so 
that the pollutant can be directed to a pollution control device such as 
an incinerator or carbon adsorber.
    Capture efficiency means the fraction of all organic vapors 
generated by a process that are directed to a control device.
    Certified product data sheet (CPDS) means documentation furnished by 
coating or adhesive suppliers or an outside laboratory that provides:

solvent, by percent weight, measured using the EPA Method 311 (as 
promulgated in this subpart), or an equivalent or alternative method (or 
formulation data if the coating meets the criteria specified in 
Sec. 63.805(a));
    (2) The solids content of a finishing material or contact adhesive 
by percent weight, determined using data from the EPA Method 24, or an 
alternative or equivalent method (or formulation data if the coating 
meets the criteria specified in Sec. 63.805 (a)); and
    (3) The density, measured by EPA Method 24 or an alternative or 
equivalent method. Therefore, the reportable VHAP content shall 
represent the maximum aggregate emissions potential of the finishing 
material, adhesive, or solvent in concentrations greater than or equal 
to 1.0 percent by weight or 0.1 percent for VHAP that are carcinogens, 
as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard 
Communication Standard (29 CFR part 1910), as formulated. Only VHAP 
present in concentrations greater than or equal to 1.0 percent by 
weight, or 0.1 percent for VHAP that are carcinogens, must be reported 
on the CPDS. The purpose of the CPDS is to assist the affected source in 
demonstrating compliance with the emission limitations presented in 
Sec. 63.802.
    Note: Because the optimum analytical conditions under EPA Method 311 
vary by coating, the coating or adhesive supplier may also choose to 
include on the CPDS the optimum analytical conditions for analysis of 
the coating, adhesive, or solvent using EPA Method 311. Such information 
may include, but not be limited to, separation column, oven temperature, 
carrier gas, injection port temperature, extraction solvent, and 
internal standard.)
    Cleaning operations means operations in which organic HAP solvent is 
used to remove coating materials or adhesives from equipment used in 
wood furniture manufacturing operations.
    Coating means a protective, decorative, or functional film applied 
in a thin layer to a surface. Such materials include, but are not 
limited to, paints, topcoats, varnishes, sealers, stains, washcoats, 
basecoats, enamels, inks, and temporary protective coatings. Aerosol 
spray paints used for touch-up and repair are not considered coatings 
under this subpart.
    Coating application station means the part of a coating operation 
where the coating is applied, e.g., a spray booth.

applied to a substrate and is subsequently air-dried, cured in an oven, 
or cured by radiation.
    Coating solids (or solids) means the part of the coating which 
remains after the coating is dried or cured; solids content is 
determined using data from the EPA Method 24, or an equivalent or 
alternative method.

a reservoir. Several types of application methods can be used with a 
continuous coater including spraying, curtain coating, roll coating, dip 
coating, and flow coating.
    Continuous compliance means that the affected source is meeting the 
emission limitations and other requirements of the rule at all times and 
is fulfilling all monitoring and recordkeeping provisions of the rule in 
order to demonstrate compliance.

the pollutant for subsequent recovery. Includes, but is not limited to, 
incinerators, carbon adsorbers, and condensers.
    Control device efficiency means the ratio of the pollutant released 
by a control device and the pollutant introduced to the control device.
    Control system means the combination of capture and control devices 
used to reduce emissions to the atmosphere.
    Conventional air spray means a spray coating method in which the 
coating is atomized by mixing it with compressed air and applied at an 
air pressure greater than 10 pounds per square inch (gauge) at the point 
of atomization. Airless and air assisted airless spray technologies are 
not conventional air spray because the coating is not atomized by mixing 
it with compressed air. Electrostatic spray technology is also not 
considered conventional air spray because an electrostatic charge is 
employed to attract the coating to the workpiece.
    Data quality objective (DQO) approach means a set of approval 
criteria that must be met so that data from an alternative test method 
can be used in determining the capture efficiency of a control system. 
For additional information, see Guidelines for Determining Capture 
Efficiency, January 1994. (Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. IV-B-1).

indirectly, of HAP into the ambient air.
    Enamel means a coat of colored material, usually opaque, that is 
applied as a protective topcoat over a basecoat, primer, or previously 
applied enamel coats. In some cases, another finishing material may be 
applied as a topcoat over the enamel.
    Equipment leak means emissions of VHAP from pumps, valves, flanges, 
or other equipment used to transfer or apply coatings, adhesives, or 
organic HAP solvents.
    Equivalent method means any method of sampling and analyzing for an 
air pollutant that has been demonstrated to the Administrator's 
satisfaction to have a consistent and quantitatively known relationship 
to the reference method, under specific conditions.

material is applied to a substrate and is subsequently air-dried, cured 
in an oven, or cured by radiation.
    Foam adhesive means a contact adhesive used for gluing foam to 
fabric, foam to foam, and fabric to wood.
    Gluing operation means those operations in which adhesives are used 
to join components, for example, to apply a laminate to a wood substrate 
or foam to fabric.

[[Page 276]]

    Incidental wood furniture manufacturer means a major source that is 
primarily engaged in the manufacture of products other than wood 
furniture or wood furniture components and that uses no more than 100 
gallons per month of finishing material or adhesives in the manufacture 
of wood furniture or wood furniture components.

criteria that must be met so that data from an alternative test method 
can be used in determining the capture efficiency of a control system. 
For additional information, see Guidelines for Determining Capture 
Efficiency, January 1994. (Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. IV-B-1).
    Material safety data sheet (MSDS) means the documentation required 
for hazardous chemicals by the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR Part 1910) 
for a solvent, cleaning material, contact adhesive, coating, or other 
material that identifies select reportable hazardous ingredients of the 
material, safety and health considerations, and handling procedures.
    Noncompliant coating/contact adhesive means a finishing material, 
contact adhesive, or strippable booth coating that has a VHAP content 
(VOC content for the strippable booth coating) greater than the emission 
limitation presented in Table 3 of this subpart.
    Nonporous substrate means a surface that is impermeable to liquids. 
Examples include metal, rigid plastic, flexible vinyl, and rubber.
    Normally closed container means a container that is closed unless an 
operator is actively engaged in activities such as emptying or filling 
the container.
    Operating parameter value means a minimum or maximum value 
established for a control device or process parameter that, if achieved 
by itself or in combination with one or more other operating parameter 
values, determines that an owner or operator has complied with an 
applicable emission limit.
    Organic HAP solvent means a HAP that is a volatile organic liquid 
used for dissolving or dispersing constituents in a coating or contact 
adhesive, adjusting the viscosity of a coating or contact adhesive, or

are captured and contained for discharge through a control device. For 
additional information, see Guidelines for Determining Capture 
Efficiency, January 1994. (Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. IV-B-1).
    Recycled onsite means the reuse of an organic HAP solvent in a 
process other than cleaning or washoff.
    Reference method means any method of sampling and analyzing for an 
air pollutant that is published in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60.

minimis manner.
    Responsible official has the meaning given to it in 40 CFR part 70, 
State Operating Permit Programs (Title V permits).
    Sealer means a finishing material used to seal the pores of a wood 
substrate before additional coats of finishing material are applied. 
Special purpose finishing materials that are

[[Page 277]]

used in some finishing systems to optimize aesthetics are not sealers.

but constructed only to measure the capture efficiency of pollutants 
emitted from a given source. Additionally, any exhaust point from the 
enclosure shall be at least four equivalent duct or hood diameters from 
each natural draft opening. For additional information, see Guidelines 
for Determining Capture Efficiency, January 1994. (Docket No. A-93-10, 
Item No. IV-B-1).

applied in a finishing system.
    Touchup and repair means the application of finishing materials to 
cover minor finishing imperfections.
    VHAP means any volatile hazardous air pollutant listed in Table 2 to 
Subpart JJ.
    VHAP of potential concern means any VHAP from the list in table 6 of 
this subpart.
    Volatile organic compound (VOC) means any organic compound which 
participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions, that is, any 
organic compound other than those which the Administrator designates as 
having negligible photochemical reactivity. A VOC may be measured by a 
reference method, an equivalent method, an alternative method, or by 
procedures specified under any rule. A reference method, an equivalent 
method, or an alternative method, however, may also measure nonreactive 
organic compounds. In such cases, the owner or operator may exclude the 
nonreactive organic compounds when determining compliance with a 
standard. For a list of compounds that the Administrator has designated 
as having negligible photochemical reactivity, refer to 40 CFR part 
51.10.
    Washcoat means a transparent special purpose finishing material

2599, or 5712.
    Wood furniture component means any part that is used in the 
manufacture of wood furniture. Examples include, but are not limited to, 
drawer sides, cabinet doors, seat cushions, and laminated tops. However, 
foam seat cushions manufactured and fabricated at a facility that does

paragraphs (b) through (l) of this section. The plan shall be developed 
no more than 60 days after the compliance date. The written work 
practice implementation plan shall be available for inspection by the 
Administrator upon request. If the Administrator determines that the 
work practice implementation plan does not adequately address each of 
the topics specified in paragraphs (b) through (l) of this section or 
that the plan does not include sufficient mechanisms for ensuring that 
the work practice standards are being implemented, the Administrator may 
require the affected source to modify the plan. Revisions or 
modifications to the plan do not require a revision of the source's 
Title V permit.
    (b) Operator training course. Each owner or operator of an affected 
source shall train all new and existing personnel, including contract 
personnel, who are involved in finishing, gluing, cleaning, and washoff 
operations, use of manufacturing equipment, or implementation of the 
requirements of this subpart. All new personnel, those hired after the 
compliance date of the standard, shall be trained upon hiring. All 
existing personnel, those hired before the compliance date of the 
standard, shall be trained within six months of the compliance date of 
the standard. All personnel shall be given refresher training annually. 
The affected source shall maintain a copy of the training program with

shall be made no later than five calendar days after the leak is 
detected; and
    (ii) Final repairs shall be made within 15 calendar days after the 
leak is detected, unless the leaking equipment is to be replaced by a 
new purchase, in which case repairs shall be completed within three 
months.
    (d) Cleaning and washoff solvent accounting system. Each owner or 
operator of an affected source shall develop an organic HAP solvent 
accounting form to record:
    (1) The quantity and type of organic HAP solvent used each month for 
washoff and cleaning, as defined in Sec. 63.801 of this subpart;
    (2) The number of pieces washed off, and the reason for the washoff; 
and
    (3) The quantity of spent organic HAP solvent generated from each 
washoff and cleaning operation each month, and whether it is recycled 
onsite or disposed offsite.
    (e) Chemical composition of cleaning and washoff solvents. Each 
owner or operator of an affected source shall not use cleaning or 
washoff solvents that contain any of the pollutants listed in Table 4 to 
this subpart, in concentrations subject to MSDS reporting as required by 
OSHA.
    (f) Spray booth cleaning. Each owner or operator of an affected 
source shall not use compounds containing more than 8.0 percent by 
weight of VOC for cleaning spray booth components other than conveyors, 
continuous coaters and their enclosures, or metal filters, or plastic 
filters unless the spray booth is being refurbished. If the spray booth 
is being refurbished, that is the spray booth coating or other 
protective material used to cover the booth is being replaced, the 
affected source shall use no more than 1.0 gallon of organic HAP solvent 
per booth to prepare the surface of the booth prior to applying the 
booth coating.
    (g) Storage requirements. Each owner or operator of an affected 
source shall use normally closed containers for storing finishing,

than 1.0 lb VOC/lb solids, as applied;
    (2) For touchup and repair under the following conditions:
    (i) The touchup and repair occurs after completion of the finishing 
operation; or
    (ii) The touchup and repair occurs after the application of stain 
and before the application of any other type of finishing material, and 
the materials used for touchup and repair are applied from a container 
that has a volume of no more than 2.0 gallons.
    (3) When spray is automated, that is, the spray gun is aimed and 
triggered automatically, not manually;
    (4) When emissions from the finishing application station are 
directed to a control device;
    (5) The conventional air gun is used to apply finishing materials 
and the

[[Page 281]]

cumulative total usage of that finishing material is no more than 5.0 
percent of the total gallons of finishing material used during that 
semiannual period; or
    (6) The conventional air gun is used to apply stain on a part for 
which it is technically or economically infeasible to use any other 
spray application technology.
    The affected source shall demonstrate technical or economic 
infeasibility by submitting to the Administrator a videotape, a 
technical report, or other documentation that supports the affected 
source's claim of technical or economic infeasibility. The following 
criteria shall be used, either independently or in combination, to 
support the affected source's claim of technical or economic 
infeasibility:
    (i) The production speed is too high or the part shape is too 
complex for one operator to coat the part and the application station is 
not large enough to accommodate an additional operator; or
    (ii) The excessively large vertical spray area of the part makes it 
difficult to avoid sagging or runs in the stain.
    (i) Line cleaning. Each owner or operator of an affected source 
shall pump or drain all organic HAP solvent used for line cleaning into 
a normally closed container.
    (j) Gun cleaning. Each owner or operator of an affected source shall 
collect all organic HAP solvent used to clean spray guns into a normally 
closed container.
    (k) Washoff operations. Each owner or operator of an affected source 
shall control emissions from washoff operations by:
    (1) Using normally closed tanks for washoff; and
    (2) Minimizing dripping by tilting or rotating the part to drain as 
much solvent as possible.
    (l) Formulation assessment plan for finishing operations. Each owner 
or operator of an affected source shall prepare and maintain with the 
work practice implementation plan a formulation assessment plan that:
    (1) Identifies VHAP from the list presented in Table 5 of this 
subpart that are being used in finishing operations by the affected 
source;
    (2) Establishes a baseline level of usage by the affected source, 
for each VHAP identified in paragraph (l)(1) of this section. The 
baseline usage level shall be the highest annual usage from 1994, 1995, 
or 1996, for each VHAP identified in paragraph (l)(1) of this section. 
For formaldehyde, the baseline level of usage shall be based on the 
amount of free formaldehyde present in the finishing material when it is 
applied. For styrene, the baseline level of usage shall be an estimate 
of unreacted styrene, which shall be calculated by multiplying the 
amount of styrene monomer in the finishing material, when it is applied, 
by a factor of 0.16. Sources using a control device to reduce emissions 
may adjust their usage based on the overall control efficiency of the 
control system, which is determined using the equation in Sec. 63.805 
(d) or (e).
    (3) Tracks the annual usage of each VHAP identified in (l)(1) by the 
affected source that is present in amounts subject to MSDS reporting as 
required by OSHA.
    (4) If, after November 1998, the annual usage of the VHAP identified 
in paragraph (l)(1) exceeds its baseline level, then the owner or 
operator of the affected source shall provide a written notification to 
the permitting authority that describes the amount of the increase and 
explains the reasons for exceedance of the baseline level. The following 
explanations would relieve the owner or operator from further action, 
unless the affected source is not in compliance with any State 
regulations or requirements for that VHAP:
    (i) The exceedance is no more than 15.0 percent above the baseline 
level;
    (ii) Usage of the VHAP is below the de minimis level presented in 
Table 5 of this subpart for that VHAP (sources using a control device to 
reduce emissions may adjust their usage based on the overall control 
efficiency of the control system, which is determined using the 
procedures in Sec. 63.805 (d) or (e);
    (iii) The affected source is in compliance with its State's air 
toxic regulations or guidelines for the VHAP; or
    (iv) The source of the pollutant is a finishing material with a VOC 
content

[[Page 282]]

of no more than 1.0 kg VOC/kg solids (1.0 lb VOC/lb solids), as applied.
    (5) If none of the above explanations are the reason for the 
increase, the owner or operator shall confer with the permitting 
authority to discuss the reason for the increase and whether there are 
practical and reasonable technology-based solutions for reducing the 
usage. The evaluation of whether a technology is reasonable and 
practical shall be based on cost, quality, and marketability of the 
product, whether the technology is being used successfully by other wood 
furniture manufacturing operations, or other criteria mutually agreed 
upon by the permitting authority and owner or operator. If there are no 
practical and reasonable solutions, the facility need take no further 
action. If there are solutions, the owner or operator shall develop a 
plan to reduce usage of the pollutant to the extent feasible. The plan 
shall address the approach to be used to reduce emissions, a timetable 
for implementing the plan, and a schedule for submitting notification of 
progress.
    (6) If, after November 1998, an affected source uses a VHAP of 
potential concern listed in table 6 of this subpart for which a baseline 
level has not been previously established, then the baseline level shall 
be established as the de minimis level provided in that same table for 
that chemical. The affected source shall track the annual usage of each 
VHAP of potential concern identified in this paragraph that is present 
in amounts subject to MSDS reporting as required by OSHA. If usage of 
the VHAP of potential concern exceeds the de minimis level listed in 
table 6 of this subpart for that chemical, then the affected source 
shall provide an explanation to the permitting authority that documents 
the reason for the exceedance of the de minimis level. If the 
explanation is not one of those listed in paragraphs (l)(4)(i) through 
(l)(4)(iv) of this section, the affected source shall follow the 
procedures in paragraph (l)(5) of this section.

coatings, as determined by the VHAP content of the coating in the 
reservoir, have been used each day in the semiannual reporting period. 
Additionally, the certification shall state that the viscosity of the 
coating in the reservoir has not been less than the viscosity of the 
initial coating, that is, the coating that is initially mixed and placed 
in the reservoir, for any day in the semiannual reporting period.
    (B) The compliance certification shall be signed by a responsible 
official of the company that owns or operates the affected source.
    (C) An affected source is in violation of the standard when a sample 
of the as-applied coating exceeds the applicable limit established in 
Sec. 63.804 (a)(2) or (d)(2), as determined using EPA Method 311, or the 
viscosity of the coating in the reservoir is less than the viscosity of 
the initial coating.

Sec. 63.805  Performance test methods.

    (a) The EPA Method 311 of appendix A of part 63 shall be used in 
conjunction with formulation data to determine the VHAP content of the 
liquid coating. Formulation data shall be used to identify VHAP present 
in the coating. The EPA Method 311 shall then be used to quantify those 
VHAP identified through formulation data. The EPA Method 311 shall not 
be used to quantify HAP such as styrene and formaldehyde that are 
emitted during the cure. The EPA Method 24 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) 
shall be used to determine the solids content by weight and the density 
of coatings. If it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the 
Administrator that a coating does not release VOC or HAP byproducts 
during the cure, for example, all VOC and HAP present in the coating is 
solvent, then batch formulation information shall be accepted. The owner 
or operator of an affected source may request approval from the 
Administrator to use an alternative method for determining the VHAP 
content of the coating. In the event of any inconsistency between the 
EPA Method 24 or Method 311 test data and a facility's formulation data, 
that is, if the EPA Method 24/311 value is higher, the EPA Method 24/311 
test shall govern unless after consultation, a regulated source could 
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the enforcement agency that the 
formulation data were

[[Page 289]]

correct. Sampling procedures shall follow the guidelines presented in 
``Standard Procedures for Collection of Coating and Ink Samples for VOC 
Content Analysis by Reference Method 24 and Reference Method 24A,'' EPA-
340/1-91-010. (Docket No. A-93-10, Item No. IV-A-1).
    (b) Owners or operators demonstrating compliance in accordance with 
Sec. 63.804 (f)(4) or (f)(6) and Sec. 63.804 (g)(4) or (g)(6), or 
complying with any of the other emission limits of Sec. 63.802 by 
operating a capture or control device shall determine the overall 
control efficiency of the control system (R) as the product of the 
capture and control device efficiency, using the test methods cited in 
Sec. 63.805(c) and the procedures in Sec. 63.805 (d) or (e).
    (c) When an initial compliance demonstration is required by 
Sec. 63.804 (f)(4) or (f)(6) of this subpart, the procedures in 
paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this section shall be used in 
determining initial compliance with the provisions of this subpart.
    (1) The EPA Method 18 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) shall be used to 
determine the HAP concentration of gaseous air streams. The test shall 
consist of three separate runs, each lasting a minimum of 30 minutes.
    (2) The EPA Method 1 or 1A (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) shall be 
used for sample and velocity traverses.
    (3) The EPA Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) 
shall be used to measure velocity and volumetric flow rates.
    (4) The EPA Method 3 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) shall be used to 
analyze the exhaust gases.
    (5) The EPA Method 4 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) shall be used to 
measure the moisture in the stack gas.
    (6) The EPA Methods 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 3, and 4 shall be performed, as 
applicable, at least twice during each test period.
    (d) Each owner or operator of an affected source demonstrating 
compliance in accordance with Sec. 63.804 (f)(4) or (f)(6) shall perform 
a gaseous emission test using the following procedures:
    (1) Construct the overall HAP emission reduction system so that all 
volumetric flow rates and total HAP emissions can be accurately 
determined by the applicable test methods specified in Sec. 63.805(c) 
(1) through (6);
    (2) Determine capture efficiency from the affected emission point(s) 
by capturing, venting, and measuring all HAP emissions from the affected 
emission point(s). During a performance test, the owner or operator 
shall isolate affected emission point(s) located in an area with other 
nonaffected gaseous emission sources from all other gaseous emission 
point(s) by any of the following methods:
    (i) Build a temporary total enclosure (see Sec. 63.801) around the 
affected emission point(s); or
    (ii) Use the building that houses the process as the enclosure (see 
Sec. 63.801);
    (iii) Use any alternative protocol and test method provided they 
meet either the requirements of the data quality objective (DQO) 
approach or the lower confidence level (LCL) approach (see Sec. 63.801);
    (iv) Shut down all nonaffected HAP emission point(s) and continue to 
exhaust fugitive emissions from the affected emission point(s) through 
any building ventilation system and other room exhausts such as drying 
ovens. All exhaust air must be vented through stacks suitable for 
testing; or
    (v) Use another methodology approved by the Administrator provided 
it complies with the EPA criteria for acceptance under part 63, appendix 
A, Method 301.
    (3) Operate the control device with all affected emission points 
that will subsequently be delivered to the control device connected and 
operating at maximum production rate;
    (4) Determine the efficiency (F) of the control device using the 
following equation:

following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR07DE95.001

    (6) For each affected source complying with Sec. 63.802(a)(1) in 
accordance with Sec. 63.804(a)(3), compliance is demonstrated if the 
product of (FxN)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of 
Eac in Equation 2 is no greater than 1.0.
    (7) For each new affected source complying with Sec. 63.802(b)(1) in 
accordance with Sec. 63.804(d)(3), compliance is demonstrated if the 
product of (FxN)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of 
Eac in Equation 4 is no greater than 0.8.

Gac in Equation 3 is no greater than 0.2.
    (e) An alternative method to the compliance method in Sec. 63.805(d) 
is the installation of a permanent total enclosure around the affected 
emission point(s). A permanent total enclosure presents prima facia 
evidence that all HAP emissions from the affected emission point(s) are 
directed to the control device. Each affected source that complies using 
a permanent total enclosure shall:
    (1) Demonstrate that the total enclosure meets the requirements in 
paragraphs (e)(1) (i) through (iv). The owner or operator of an 
enclosure that does not meet these requirements may apply to the 
Administrator for approval of the enclosure as a total enclosure on a 
case-by-case basis. The enclosure shall be considered a total enclosure 
if it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Administrator that all 
HAP emissions from the affected emission point(s) are contained and 
vented to the control device. The requirements for automatic approval 
are as follows:
    (i) The total area of all natural draft openings shall not exceed 5 
percent of the total surface area of the total enclosure's walls, floor, 
and ceiling;
    (ii) All sources of emissions within the enclosure shall be a 
minimum of four equivalent diameters away from each natural draft 
opening;
    (iii) The average inward face velocity (FV) across all natural draft 
openings shall be a minimum of 3,600 meters per hour as determined by

constructed so

[[Page 291]]

that the volumetric flow rate in each can be accurately determined by 
the test methods specified in Sec. 63.805 (c)(2) and (3). Volumetric 
flow rates shall be calculated without the adjustment normally made for 
moisture content; and
    (B) Determine FV by the following equation:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR07DE95.002
    
    (iv) All access doors and windows whose areas are not included as 
natural draft openings and are not included in the calculation of FV 
shall be closed during routine operation of the process.
    (2) Determine the control device efficiency using Equation (5), and 
the test methods and procedures specified in Sec. 63.805 (c)(1) through 
(6).

Subpart KK--National Emission Standards for the Printing and Publishing 
                                Industry

    Source: 61 FR 27140, May 30, 1996, unless otherwise.



Sec. 63.820  Applicability.

    (a) The provisions of this subpart apply to:
    (1) Each new and existing facility that is a major source of 
hazardous air pollutants (HAP), as defined in 40 CFR 63.2, at which 
publication rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web 
flexographic printing presses are operated, and
    (2) each new and existing facility at which publication rotogravure, 
product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing 
presses are operated for which the owner or operator chooses to commit 
to, and meets the criteria of paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii) of 
this section for purposes of establishing the facility to be an area 
source with respect to this subpart:
    (i) Use less than 9.1 Mg (10 tons) per each rolling 12-month period 
of each HAP at the facility, including materials used for source 
categories or purposes other than printing and publishing, and
    (ii) Use less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) per each rolling 12-month 
period of any combination of HAP at the facility, including materials 
used for source categories or purposes other than printing and 
publishing.
    (3) Each facility for which the owner or operator chooses to commit 
to and meets the criteria stated in paragraph (a)(2) of this section 
shall be considered an area source, and is subject only to

[[Page 300]]

the provisions of Sec. 63.829(d) and Sec. 63.830(b)(1) of this subpart.
    (4) Each facility for which the owner or operator commits to the 
conditions in paragraph (a)(2) of this section may exclude material used 
in routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance, personal uses by 
employees or other persons, the use of products for the purpose of 
maintaining electric, propane, gasoline and diesel powered motor 
vehicles operated by the facility, and the use of HAP contained in 
intake water (used for processing or noncontact cooling) or intake air 
(used either as compressed air or for combustion).
    (5) Each facility for which the owner or operator commits to the 
conditions in paragraph (a)(2) of this section to become an area source, 
but subsequently exceeds either of the thresholds in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section for any rolling 12-month period (without first obtaining 
and complying with other limits that keep its potential to emit HAP 
below major source levels), shall be considered in violation of its 
commitment for that 12-month period and shall be considered a major 
source of HAP beginning the first month after the end of the 12-month 
period in which either of the HAP-use thresholds was exceeded. As a 
major source of HAP, each such facility would be subject to the 
provisions of this subpart as noted in paragraph (a)(1) of this section 
and would no longer be eligible to use the provisions of paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section, even if in subsequent 12-month periods the 
facility uses less HAP than the thresholds in paragraph (a)(2) of this 
section.
    (6) An owner or operator of an affected source subject to paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section who chooses to no longer be subject to paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section shall notify the Administrator of such change. 
If, by no longer being subject to paragraph (a)(2) of this section, the 
facility at which the affected source is located becomes a major source:
    (i) The owner or operator of an existing source must continue to 
comply with the HAP usage provisions of paragraph (a)(2) of this section 
until the source is in compliance with all relevant requirements for 
existing affected sources under this subpart;
    (ii) The owner or operator of a new source must continue to comply 
with the HAP usage provisions of paragraph (a)(2) of this section until 
the source is in compliance with all relevant requirements for new 
affected sources under this subpart.
    (7) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to preclude a facility 
from establishing area source status by limiting its potential to emit 
through other appropriate mechanisms that may be available through the 
permitting authority.
    (b) This subpart does not apply to research or laboratory equipment.

    (i) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate according to the 
manufacturer's specifications a flow control position indicator that 
provides a record indicating whether the exhaust stream from the dryer 
was directed to the control device or was diverted from the control 
device. The time and flow control position must be recorded at least 
once per hour, as well as every time the flow direction is changed. The 
flow control position indicator shall be installed at the entrance to 
any bypass line that could divert the exhaust stream away from the 
control device to the atmosphere.
    (ii) Secure any bypass line valve in the closed position with a car-
seal or a lock-and-key type configuration; a visual inspection of the 
seal or closure mechanism shall be performed at least once every month 
to ensure that the valve or damper is maintained in the closed position 
and the exhaust stream is not diverted through the bypass line.
    (iii) Ensure that any bypass line valve or damper is in the closed 
position through continuous monitoring of valve position. The monitoring 
system shall be inspected at least once every month to ensure that it is 
functioning properly.
    (iv) Use an automatic shutdown system in which the press is stopped 
when flow is diverted away from the control device to any bypass line. 
The automatic system shall be inspected at least once every month to 
ensure that it is functioning properly.
    (2) Compliance monitoring shall be subject to the provisions of 
paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii) of this section, as applicable.

 Appendix A to Subpart KK of Part 63--Data Quality Objective and Lower 
Confidence Limit Approaches for Alternative Capture Efficiency Protocols 
                            and Test Methods

    1. Introduction
    1.1  Alternative capture efficiency (CE) protocols and test methods 
that satisfy the criteria of either the data quality objective (DQO) 
approach or the lower confidence limit (LCL) approach are acceptable 
under Sec. 63.827(f). The general criteria for alternative CE protocols 
and test methods to qualify under either the DQO or LCL approach are 
described in section 2. The DQO approach and criteria specific to the 
DQO approach are described in section 3. The LCL approach and criteria 
specific to the LCL approach are described in section 4. The recommended 
reporting for alternative CE protocols and test methods are presented in 
section 5. The recommended recordkeeping for alternative CE protocols 
and test methods are presented in section 6.
    1.2  Although the Procedures L, G.1, G.2, F.1, and F.2 in 
Sec. 52.741 of part 52 were developed for TTE and BE testing, the same 
procedures can also be used in an alternative CE protocol. For example, 
a traditional liquid/gas mass balance CE protocol could employ Procedure 
L to measure liquid VOC input and Procedure G.1 to measure captured VOC.

             2. General Criteria for DQO and LCL Approaches

    2.1  The following general criteria must be met for an alternative 
capture efficiency protocol and test methods to qualify under the DQO or 
LCL approach.
    2.2  An alternative CE protocol must consist of at least three valid 
test runs. Each test run must be at least 20 minutes long. No test run 
can be longer than 24 hours.
    2.3  All test runs must be separate and independent. For example, 
liquid VOC input and output must be determined independently for each 
run. The final liquid VOC sample from one run cannot be the initial 
sample for another run. In addition, liquid input for an entire day 
cannot be apportioned among test runs based on production.
    2.4  Composite liquid samples cannot be used to obtain an ``average 
composition'' for a test run. For example, separate initial and final 
coating samples must be taken and analyzed for each run; initial and 
final samples cannot be combined prior to analysis to derive an 
``average composition'' for the test run.
    2.5  All individual test runs that result in a CE of greater than 
105 percent are invalid and must be discarded.
    2.6  If the source can demonstrate to the regulatory agency that a 
test run should not be considered due to an identified testing or 
analysis error such as spillage of part of the

[[Page 325]]

sample during shipping or an upset or improper operating conditions that 
is not considered part of normal operation then the test result for that 
individual test run may be discarded. This limited exception allows 
sources to discard as ``outliers'' certain individual test runs without 
replacing them with a valid test run as long as the facility has at 
least three valid test runs to use when calculating its DQO or LCL. This 
exception is limited solely to test runs involving the types of errors 
identified above.
    2.7  All valid test runs that are conducted must be included in the 
average CE determination. The individual test run CE results and average 
CE results cannot be truncated (i.e., 105 percent cannot be reported as 
100+ percent) for purposes of meeting general or specific criteria for 
either the DQO or the LCL. If the DQO is satisfied and the average CE is 
greater than 100, then 100 percent CE must be considered the result of 
the test.
    2.8  Alternative test methods for measuring VOC concentration must 
include a three-point calibration of the gas analysis instrument in the 
expected concentration range.

                   3. Data Quality Objective Approach

    3.1  The purpose of the DQO is to allow sources to use alternative 
CE protocols and test methods while ensuring reasonable precision 
consistent with pertinent requirements of the Clean Air Act. In addition 
to the general criteria described in section 2, the specific DQO 
criterion is that the width of the two-sided 95 percent confidence 
interval of the mean measured value must be less than or equal to 10 
percent of the mean measured value (see Figure 1). This ensures that 95 
percent of the time, when the DQO is met, the actual CE value will be 
5 percent of the mean measured value (assuming that the test 
protocol is unbiased).

          value.

          to the endpoints of the 95-percent (two-sided) confidence

          value.

    3.3  The sample standard deviation and average CE value are 
calculated using Equations 3 and 4 as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.024

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.025

    3.4  The DQO criteria are achieved when all of the general criteria 
in section 2 are achieved and P [le]5 percent (i.e., the specific DQO 
criterion is achieved). In order to meet this objective, facilities may 
have to conduct more than three test runs. Examples of calculating P, 
given a finite number of test runs, are shown below. (For purposes of 
this example it is assumed that all of the general criteria are met.)
    3.5  Facility A conducted a CE test using a traditional liquid/gas 
mass balance and submitted the following results and the calculations 
shown in Equations 5 and 6:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Run                                   CE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1..............................................................     96.1
2..............................................................    105.0
3..............................................................    101.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore:
n=3
t0.975=4.30
xavg=100.8
s=4.51
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.026

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.027

    3.6  Since the facility did not meet the specific DQO criterion, 
they ran three more test runs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Run                                   CE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4..............................................................     93.2
5..............................................................     96.2
6..............................................................     87.6
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3.7  The calculations for Runs 1-6 are made as follows using 
Equations 7 and 8:

n=6
t0.975=2.57
xavg=96.6
s=6.11
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.028

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.029

    3.8  The facility still did not meet the specific DQO criterion. 
They ran three more test runs with the following results:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Run                                   CE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7..............................................................     92.9
8..............................................................     98.3
9..............................................................     91.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3.9  The calculations for Runs 1-9 are made as follows using 
Equations 9 and 10:
n=9
t0.975=2.31
xavg=95.7
s=5.33
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.030


[[Page 327]]


[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.031

    3.10  Based on these results, the specific DQO criterion is 
satisfied. Since all of the general criteria were also satisfied, the 
average CE from the nine test runs can be used to determine compliance.

                   4. Lower Confidence Limit Approach

    4.1  The purpose of the LCL approach is to provide sources, that may 
be performing much better than their applicable regulatory requirement, 
a screening option by which they can demonstrate compliance. The 
approach uses less precise methods and avoids additional test runs which 
might otherwise be needed to meet the specific DQO criterion while still 
being assured of correctly demonstrating compliance. It is designed to 
reduce ``false positive'' or so called ``Type II errors'' which may 
erroneously indicate compliance where more variable test methods are 
employed. Because it encourages CE performance greater than that 
required in exchange for reduced compliance demonstration burden, the 
sources that successfully use the LCL approach could produce emission 
reductions beyond allowable emissions. Thus, it could provide additional 
benefits to the environment as well.
    4.2  The LCL approach compares the 80 percent (two-sided) LCL for 
the mean measured CE value to the applicable CE regulatory requirement. 
In addition to the general criteria described in section 2, the specific 
LCL criteria are that either the LCL be greater than or equal to the 
applicable CE regulatory requirement or that the specific DQO criterion 
is met. A more detailed description of the LCL approach follows:
    4.3  A source conducts an initial series of at least three runs. The 
owner or operator may choose to conduct additional test runs during the 
initial test if desired.
    4.4  If all of the general criteria are met and the specific DQO 
criterion is met, then the average CE value is used to determine 
compliance.
    4.5  If the data meet all of the general criteria, but do not meet 
the specific DQO criterion; and the average CE, using all valid test 
runs, is above 100 percent then the test sequence cannot be used to 
calculate the LCL. At this point the facility has the option of (a) 
conducting more test runs in hopes of meeting the DQO or of bringing the 
average CE for all test runs below 100 percent so the LCL can be used or 
(b) discarding all previous test data and retesting.
    4.6  The purpose of the requirement in Section 4.5 is to protect 
against protocols and test methods which may be inherently biased high. 
This is important because it is impossible to have an actual CE greater 
than 100 percent and the LCL approach only looks at the lower end 
variability of the test results. This is different from the DQO which 
allows average CE values up to 105 percent because the DQO sets both 
upper and lower limits on test variability.
    4.7  If at any point during testing the results meet the DQO, the 
average CE can be used for demonstrating compliance with the applicable 
regulatory requirement. Similarly, if the average CE is below 100 
percent then the LCL can be used for demonstrating compliance with the 
applicable regulatory requirement without regard to the DQO.
    4.8  The LCL is calculated at a 80 percent (two-sided) confidence 
level as follows using Equation 11:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.032

Where:

LC1=LCL at a 80 percent (two-sided) confidence level.
n=number of valid test runs.
s=sample standard deviation.
t0.90=t-value at the 80-percent (two-sided) confidence level 
          (see Table 3-1).
xavg=average measured CE value (calculated from all valid 
          test runs).

    4.9  The resulting LC1 is compared to the applicable CE 
regulatory requirement. If LC1 exceeds (i.e., is higher than) 
the applicable regulatory requirement, then a facility is in initial 
compliance. However, if the LC1 is below the CE requirement, 
then the facility must conduct additional test runs. After this point 
the test results will be evaluated not only looking at the LCL, but also 
the DQO of 5 percent of the mean at a 95 percent confidence 
level. If the test results with the additional test runs meet the DQO 
before the LCL exceeds the applicable CE regulatory requirement, then 
the average CE value will be compared to the applicable CE regulatory 
requirement for determination of compliance.
    4.10  If there is no specific CE requirement in the applicable 
regulation, then the applicable CE regulatory requirement is determined 
based on the applicable regulation and an acceptable destruction 
efficiency test. If the applicable regulation requires daily compliance 
and the latest CE compliance demonstration was made using the LCL 
approach, then the calculated LC1 will be the highest CE 
value which a facility is allowed to claim until another CE 
demonstration test is conducted. This last requirement is necessary to 
assure both sufficiently reliable test results in all circumstances and 
the potential environmental benefits referenced above.
    4.11  An example of calculating the LCL is shown below. Facility B's 
applicable regulatory requirement is 85 percent CE. Facility B conducted 
a CE test using a traditional

[[Page 328]]

liquid/gas mass balance and submitted the following results and the 
calculation shown in Equation 12:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Run                                   CE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1..............................................................     94.2
2..............................................................     97.6
3..............................................................     90.5
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore:

n=3
t0.90=1.886
xavg=94.1
s=3.55
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MY96.033

    4.12  Since the LC1 of 90.23 percent is above the 
applicable regulatory requirement of 85 percent then the facility is in 
compliance. The facility must continue to accept the LC1 of 
90.23 percent as its CE value until a new series of valid tests is 
conducted. (The data generated by Facility B do not meet the specific 
DQO criterion.)

          5. Recommended Reporting for Alternative CE Protocols

    5.1  If a facility chooses to use alternative CE protocols and test 
methods that satisfy either the DQO or LCL and the additional criteria 
in section 4., the following information should be submitted with each 
test report to the appropriate regulatory agency:
    1. A copy of all alternative test methods, including any changes to 
the EPA reference methods, QA/QC procedures and calibration procedures.
    2. A table with information on each liquid sample, including the 
sample identification, where and when the sample was taken, and the VOC 
content of the sample;
    3. The coating usage for each test run (for protocols in which the 
liquid VOC input is to be determined);
    4. The quantity of captured VOC measured for each test run;
    5. The CE calculations and results for each test run;
    6. The DQO or LCL calculations and results; and
    7. The QA/QC results, including information on calibrations (e.g., 
how often the instruments were calibrated, the calibration results, and 
information on calibration gases, if applicable).

       6. Recommended Recordkeeping for Alternative CE Protocols.

    6.1  A record should be kept at the facility of all raw data 
recorded during the test in a suitable form for submittal to the 
appropriate regulatory authority upon request.

    (a) Applicability. The provisions in paragraphs (a) through (i) of 
this section shall apply to any Soderberg, CWPB2, and CWPB3 potline that 
adds a new potroom group to an existing potline or that is associated 
with a potroom group that meets the definition of ``modified potroom 
group'' or ``reconstructed potroom group.''
    (1) The following shall not, by themselves, be considered to result 
in a potroom group modification:
    (i) Maintenance, repair, and replacement that the applicable 
regulatory authority determines to be routine for the potroom group;
    (ii) An increase in production rate of an existing potroom group, if 
that increase can be accomplished without a capital expenditure on that 
potroom group;
    (iii) An increase in the hours of operation;
    (iv) Use of an alternative fuel or raw material if, prior to the 
effective date of this subpart, the existing potroom group was designed 
to accommodate that alternative use;
    (v) The addition or use of any system or device whose primary 
function is the reduction of air pollutants, except when an emission 
control system is removed or is replaced by a system that the applicable 
regulatory authority determines to be less environmentally beneficial; 
and
    (vi) The relocation or change in ownership of an existing potroom 
group.
    (2) The provisions in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(iv) of 
this section apply when the applicable regulatory authority must 
determine if a potroom group meets the definition of reconstructed 
potroom group.
    (i) ``Fixed capital cost'' means the capital needed to provide all 
the depreciable components.
    (ii) If an owner or operator of an existing potroom group proposes 
to replace components, and the fixed capital cost of the new components 
exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost that would be required to 
construct a comparable entirely new potroom group, he/she shall notify 
the applicable regulatory authority of the proposed replacements. The 
notice must be postmarked 60 days (or as soon as practicable) before 
construction of the replacements is commenced and must include the 
following information:

days of the receipt of the notice required by paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of 
this section and any additional information he/she may reasonably 
require, whether the proposed replacement constitutes a reconstructed 
potroom group.
    (iv) The applicable regulatory authority's determination under 
paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section shall be based on:
    (A) The fixed capital cost of the replacements in comparison to the 
fixed capital cost that would be required to construct a comparable 
entirely new potroom group;
    (B) The estimated life of the potroom group after the replacements 
compared to the life of a comparable entirely new potroom group;

    (C) The extent to which the components being replaced cause or 
contribute to the emissions from the potroom group; and
    (D) Any economic or technical limitations on compliance with 
applicable standards of performance that are inherent in the proposed 
replacements.
    (b) Lower TF emission limit. The owner or operator shall calculate a 
lower TF emission limit for any potline associated with the modified 
potroom group, reconstructed potroom group, or new potroom group using 
the following equation:

L1=f1 x LPG1 = (1-f1) x 
LPL

Where:

L1=the lower TF emission limit in kg/Mg (lb/ton);
f1=the fraction of the potline's total aluminum production 
          capacity that is contained within all modified potroom groups, 
          reconstructed potroom groups, and new potroom groups;
LPG1=0.95 kg/Mg (1.9 lb/ton) for prebake potlines and 1.0 kg/
          Mg (2.0 lb/ton) for Soderberg potlines; and
LPL=the TF emission limit from Sec. 63.843(a)(1) for the 
          appropriate potline subcategory that would have otherwise 
          applied to the potline.

    (c) Upper TF emission limit. The owner or operator shall calculate 
an upper TF emission limit for any potline associated with the modified 
potroom group, reconstructed potroom group, or new potroom group using 
the following equation:

L2=f1 x LPG2 = (1-f1) x 
LPL

Where:

L2=the upper TF emission limit in kg/Mg (lb/ton); and
LPG2=1.25 kg/Mg (2.5 lb/ton) for prebake potlines and 1.3 kg/
          Mg (2.6 lb/ton) for Soderberg potlines.

    (d) Recalculation. The TF emission limits in paragraphs (b) and (c) 
of this section shall be recalculated each time a new potroom group is 
added to the potline and each time an additional potroom group meets the 
definition of ``modified potroom group'' or ``reconstructed potroom 
group.''
    (e) Emission limitation. The owner or operator shall not discharge 
or cause to be discharged into the atmosphere emissions of TF from any 
potline associated with the modified potroom group, reconstructed 
potroom group, or new potroom group that exceed the lower emission limit 
calculated in paragraph (b) of this section, except that emissions less 
than the upper limit calculated in paragraph (c) of this section will be 
considered in compliance if the owner or operator demonstrates that 
exemplary operation and maintenance procedures were used with respect to 
the emission control system and that proper control equipment was 
operating at the potline during the performance test.
    (f) Report. Within 30 days of any performance test that reveals 
emissions that fall between the lower limit calculated in paragraph (b) 
of this section and the upper limit calculated in paragraph (c) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall submit to the applicable regulatory 
authority a report indicating whether all necessary control devices were 
online and operating properly during the performance test, describing 
the operating and maintenance procedures followed, and setting forth any 
explanation for the excess emissions.
    (g) Procedures to determine TF emissions. The owner or operator 
shall determine TF emissions for the potline using the following 
procedures:
    (1) Determine the emission rate of TF in kg/Mg (lb/ton) from 
sampling secondary emissions and the primary control system for all new 
potroom groups, modified potroom groups, and reconstructed potroom 
groups using the procedures, equations, and test methods in 
Secs. 63.847, 63.848, and 63.849.
    (2) Determine the emission rate of TF in kg/Mg (lb/ton) from 
sampling secondary emissions and the primary control system for potroom 
groups or sections of potroom groups within the potline that are not new 
potroom groups, modified potroom groups, or reconstructed potroom groups 
according to paragraphs (g)(2)(i) or (g)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (i) Determine the mass emission rate of TF in kg/Mg (lb/ton) from at 
least one potroom group within the potline that is not a new potroom 
group, modified potroom group, or reconstructed potroom group using the 
procedures, equations, and test methods in Secs. 63.847, 63.848, and 
63.849, or

[[Page 334]]

    (ii) Use the results of the testing required by paragraph (g)(1) of 
this section to represent the entire potline based on a demonstration 
that the results are representative of the entire potline. 
Representativeness shall be based on showing that all of the potroom 
groups associated with the potline are substantially equivalent in terms 
of their structure, operability, type of emissions, volume of emissions, 
and concentration of emissions.
    (3) Calculate the TF emissions for the potline in kg/Mg (lb/ton) 
based on the production-weighted average of the TF emission rates from 
paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this section using the following 
equation:

E=f1 x EPG1 = (1-f1) x EPL

where:

E=the TF emission rate for the entire potline, kg/Mg (lb/ton);
f1=the fraction of the potline's total aluminum production 
          rate that is contained within all modified potroom groups, 
          reconstructed potroom groups, and new potroom groups;
EPG1=the TF emission rate from paragraph (g)(1) of this 
          section for all modified potroom groups, reconstructed potroom 
          groups, and new potroom groups, kg/Mg (lb/ton); and
EPL=the TF emission rate for the balance of the potline from 
          paragraph (g)(2) of this section, kg/Mg (lb/ton).

    Compliance is demonstrated when TF emissions for the potline meet 
the requirements in paragraph (e) of this section.
    (4) As an alternative to sampling as required in paragraphs (g)(1) 
and (g)(2) of this section, the owner or operator may perform 
representative sampling of the entire potline subject to the approval of 
the applicable regulatory authority. Such sampling shall provide 
coverage by the sampling equipment of both the new, modified, or 
reconstructed potroom group and the balance of the potline. The coverage 
for the new, modified, or reconstructed potroom group must meet the 
criteria specified in the reference methods in Sec. 63.849. TF emissions 
shall be determined for the potline using the procedures, equations, and 
test methods in Secs. 63.847, 63.848, and 63.849. Compliance is 
demonstrated when TF emissions for the potline meet the requirements in 
paragraph (e) of this section.
    (h) Opacity. Except as provided in paragraph (i) of this section, 
the owner or operator shall not discharge or cause to be discharged into 
the atmosphere from the modified potroom group, reconstructed potroom 
group, or new potroom group any emissions of gases that exhibit 10 
percent opacity or greater.
    (i) Alternative opacity limit. An alternative opacity limit may be 
established in place of the opacity limit in paragraph (h) of this 
section using the following procedures:
    (1) If the regulatory authority finds that a potline is in 
compliance with the applicable TF standard for which performance tests 
are conducted in accordance with the methods and procedures in 
Sec. 63.849 but during the time such performance tests are being 
conducted fails to meet any applicable opacity standard, the regulatory 
authority shall notify and advise the owner or operator that he/she may 
petition the regulatory authority within 10 days of receipt of 
notification to make appropriate adjustment to the opacity standard.
    (2) The regulatory authority will grant such a petition upon a 
demonstration by the owner or operator that the potroom group and 
associated air pollution control equipment were operated and maintained 
in a manner to minimize the opacity of emissions during the performance 
tests; that the performance tests were performed under the conditions 
established by the regulatory authority; and that the potroom group and 
associated air pollution control equipment were incapable of being 
adjusted or operated to meet the applicable opacity standard.
    (3) As indicated by the performance and opacity tests, the 
regulatory authority will establish an opacity standard for any potroom 
group meeting the requirements in paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this 
section such that the opacity standard could be met by the potroom group 
at all times during which the potline is meeting the TF emission limit.
    (4) The alternative opacity limit established in paragraph (i)(3) of 
this section shall not be greater than 20 percent opacity.

    (1) TF emissions from potlines. For each potline, the owner or 
operator shall measure and record the emission rate of TF exiting the 
outlet of the primary control system for each potline and the rate of 
secondary emissions exiting through each roof monitor, or for a plant 
with roof scrubbers, exiting through the scrubbers. Using the equation 
in paragraph (e)(1) of this section, the owner or operator shall compute 
and record the average of at least three runs each month for secondary

[[Page 338]]

plant with roof scrubbers, exiting through the scrubbers. Using the 
equation in paragraph (e)(2) of this section, the owner or operator 
shall compute and record the average of at least three runs each quarter 
(one run per month) for secondary emissions and at least three runs each 
year for the primary control system to determine compliance with the 
applicable emission limit. Compliance is demonstrated when the emission 
rate of POM is equal to or less than the applicable emission limit in 
Secs. 63.843, 63.844, or 63.846.
    (3) Previous control device tests. If the owner or operator has

    (a) TF emissions from potlines. Using the procedures in Sec. 63.847 
and in the approved test plan, the owner or operator shall monitor 
emissions of TF from each potline by conducting monthly performance 
tests. The owner or operator shall compute and record the monthly 
average from at least three runs for secondary emissions and the 
previous 12-month average of all runs for the primary control system to 
determine compliance with the applicable emission limit. The owner or 
operator must include all valid runs in the monthly average. The 
duration of each run for secondary emissions must represent a complete 
operating cycle.

Sec. 63.847 and in the approved test plan, the owner or operator shall 
monitor emissions of POM from each Soderberg (HSS, VSS1, and VSS2) 
potline every three months. The owner or operator shall compute and 
record the quarterly (3-month) average from at least one run per month 
for secondary emissions and the previous 12-month average of all runs 
for the primary control systems to determine compliance with the 
applicable emission limit. The owner or operator must include all valid 
runs in the quarterly (3-month) average. The duration of each run for 
secondary emissions must represent a complete operating cycle. The 
primary control system must be sampled over an 8-hour period, unless 
site-specific factors dictate an alternative sampling time subject to 
the approval of the regulatory authority.
    (c) TF and POM emissions from anode bake furnaces. Using the 
procedures in Sec. 63.847 and in the approved test plan, the owner or 
operator shall monitor TF and POM emissions from each anode bake furnace 
on an annual basis. The owner or operator shall compute and record the 
annual average of TF and POM emissions from at least three runs to 
determine compliance with the applicable emission limits. The owner or 
operator must include all valid runs in the annual average.
    (d) Similar potlines. As an alternative to monthly monitoring of TF 
or POM secondary emissions from each potline

[[Page 341]]

using the test methods in Sec. 63.849, the owner or operator may perform 
monthly monitoring of TF or POM secondary emissions from one potline 
using the test methods in Secs. 63.849 (a) or (b) to represent the 
performance of similar potline(s). The similar potline(s) shall be 
monitored using an alternative method that meets the requirements of 
paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(7) of this section. Two or more potlines 
are similar if the owner or operator demonstrates that their structure, 
operability, type of emissions, volume of emissions, and concentration 
of emissions are substantially equivalent.

with a simultaneous run by the applicable test method that does not 
exceed the applicable emission limit; or
    (ii) Correlate the results of the two methods (the applicable test 
method results and the alternative monitoring method results) and 
establish an emission limit for the alternative monitoring system that 
corresponds to the applicable emission limit.
    (5) The owner or operator shall submit the results required in 
paragraph (d)(4) of this section and all supporting documentation to the 
applicable regulatory authority for review and approval.
    (6) The regulatory authority shall review and approve or disapprove 
the request for an alternative method and alternative emission limit. 
The criterion for approval shall be a demonstration (to the satisfaction 
of the regulatory authority) that the alternative method and alternative 
emission limit achieve a level of emission control that is the same as 
or better than the level that would have otherwise been achieved by the 
applicable method and emission limit.

regulatory authority, the owner or operator shall perform monthly 
emission monitoring using the approved alternative monitoring procedure 
to demonstrate compliance with the alternative emission limit for each 
similar potline.
    (e) Reduced sampling frequency. The owner or operator may submit a 
written request to the applicable regulatory authority to establish an 
alternative testing requirement to reduce the sampling of secondary TF 
emissions from potlines from monthly to quarterly.

and data demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory 
authority, that secondary emissions of TF from potlines have low 
variability during normal operations using the procedures in paragraphs 
(e)(1)(i) or (e)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (i) Submit data from 24 consecutive months of sampling that show the 
average TF emissions are less than 60 percent of the applicable limit 
and that no monthly performance test in the 24

[[Page 342]]

months of sampling exceeds 75 percent of the applicable limit; or
    (ii) Submit data and a statistical analysis that the regulatory 
authority may evaluate based on the approach used in ``Primary Aluminum: 
Statistical Analysis of Potline Fluoride Emissions and Alternative 
Sampling Frequency'' (EPA-450-86-012, October 1986), which is available 
from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal 
Road, Springfield, VA 22161.
    (2) An approved alternative requirement must include a test schedule 
and the method to be used to measure emissions for performance tests.
    (3) The owner or operator of a plant that has received approval of 
an alternative sampling frequency under Sec. 60.194 of this chapter is 
deemed to have approval of the alternative sampling frequency under this 
subpart.

period does not exceed 60 percent of the applicable limit, and
    (ii) No more than one monthly performance test in the most recent 
24-month period exceeds 75 percent of the applicable limit.
    (5) If emissions in excess of the applicable TF limit occur while 
performing quarterly sampling approved under paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of 
this section, the owner or operator shall immediately return to the 
monthly sampling schedule required by paragraph (a) of this section

pursuant to Sec. 63.847(h), if visible emissions indicating abnormal 
operation are observed from the exhaust stack of a control device during 
a daily inspection, or if a problem is detected during the daily 
inspection of a wet roof scrubber for potline secondary emission 
control, the owner or operator shall initiate the corrective action 
procedures identified in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
within 1 hour. Failure to initiate the corrective action procedures 
within 1 hour or to take the necessary corrective actions to remedy the 
problem is a violation.

[[Page 343]]

    (i) Exceedances. If the limit for a given operating parameter 
associated with monitoring a specific control device is exceeded six 
times in any semiannual reporting period, then any subsequent exceedance 
in that reporting period is a violation. For the purpose of determining 
the number of exceedances, no more than one exceedance shall be 
attributed in any given 24-hour period.
    (j) Weight of aluminum and green anodes. The owner or operator of a 
new or existing potline or anode bake furnace shall install, operate,

this subpart are identified in Table 1 to this subpart.



Sec. 63.861  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act, in 
subpart A of this part, or in this section. For the purposes of this 
subpart, if the same term is defined in subpart A or any other subpart 
of this part and in this section, it must have the meaning given in this 
section.
    Black liquor means spent cooking liquor that has been separated from 
the pulp produced by the kraft, soda, or semichemical pulping process.
    Black liquor gasification means the thermochemical conversion of 
black liquor into a combustible gaseous product.
    Black liquor oxidation (BLO) system means the vessels used to 
oxidize the black liquor, with air or oxygen, and the associated storage 
tank(s).
    Black liquor solids (BLS) means the dry weight of the solids in the 
black liquor that enters the recovery furnace or semichemical combustion 
unit.
    Black liquor solids firing rate means the rate at which black liquor 
solids are fed to the recovery furnace or the semichemical combustion 
unit.
    Chemical recovery combustion source means any source in the chemical 
recovery area of a kraft, soda, sulfite or stand-alone semichemical pulp 
mill that is an NDCE recovery furnace, a DCE recovery furnace system, a 
smelt dissolving tank, a lime kiln, a sulfite combustion unit, or a 
semichemical combustion unit.
    Chemical recovery system means all existing DCE and NDCE recovery 
furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, and lime kilns at a kraft or soda pulp 
mill. Each existing recovery furnace, smelt dissolving tank, or lime 
kiln is considered a process unit within a chemical recovery system.
    Direct contact evaporator (DCE) recovery furnace means a kraft or 
soda recovery furnace equipped with a direct contact evaporator that 
concentrates strong black liquor by direct contact between the hot 
recovery furnace exhaust gases and the strong black liquor.
    Direct contact evaporator (DCE) recovery furnace system means a 
direct contact evaporator recovery furnace and any black liquor 
oxidation system, if present, at the pulp mill.
    Dry electrostatic precipitator (ESP) system means an electrostatic 
precipitator with a dry bottom (i.e., no black liquor, water, or other 
fluid is used in the ESP bottom) and a dry particulate matter return 
system (i.e., no black liquor, water, or other fluid is used to 
transport the collected PM to the mix tank).
    Hazardous air pollutants (HAP) metals means the sum of all emissions 
of antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, 
manganese, mercury, nickel, and selenium as measured by EPA Method 29 
(40 CFR part 60, appendix A) and with all nondetect data treated as one-
half of the method detection limit.
    Kraft pulp mill means any stationary source that produces pulp from 
wood by cooking (digesting) wood chips in a solution of sodium hydroxide 
and sodium sulfide. The recovery process used to regenerate cooking 
chemicals is also considered part of the kraft pulp mill.
    Kraft recovery furnace means a recovery furnace that is used to burn 
black liquor produced by the kraft pulping process, as well as any 
recovery furnace that burns black liquor produced from both the kraft 
and semichemical pulping processes, and includes the direct contact 
evaporator, if applicable. Includes black liquor gasification.
    Lime kiln means the combustion unit (e.g., rotary lime kiln or 
fluidized-bed calciner) used at a kraft or soda pulp mill to calcine 
lime mud, which consists primarily of calcium carbonate,

[[Page 349]]

into quicklime, which is calcium oxide (CaO).
    Lime production rate means the rate at which dry lime, measured as 
CaO, is produced in the lime kiln.
    Method detection limit means the minimum concentration of an analyte 
that can be determined with 99 percent confidence that the true value is 
greater than zero.
    Modification means, for the purposes of Sec. 63.862(a)(1)(ii)(E)(1), 
any physical change (excluding any routine part replacement or 
maintenance) or operational change (excluding any operational change 
that occurs during a start-up, shutdown, or malfunction) that is made to 
the air pollution control device that could result in an increase in PM 
emissions.
    Nondetect data means, for the purposes of this subpart, any value 
that is below the method detection limit.
    Nondirect contact evaporator (NDCE) recovery furnace means a kraft 
or soda recovery furnace that burns black liquor that has been 
concentrated by indirect contact with steam.
    Particulate matter (PM) means total particulate matter as measured 
by EPA Method 5, EPA Method 17 (Sec. 63.865(b)(1)), or EPA Method 29 (40 
CFR part 60, appendix A).
    Process unit means an existing DCE or NDCE recovery furnace, smelt 
dissolving tank, or lime kiln in a chemical recovery system at a kraft 
or soda mill.
    Recovery furnace means an enclosed combustion device where 
concentrated black liquor produced by the kraft or soda pulping process 
is burned to recover pulping chemicals and produce steam. Includes black 
liquor gasification.
    Regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) means a thermal oxidizer that 
transfers heat from the exhaust gas stream to the inlet gas stream by 
passing the exhaust stream through a bed of ceramic stoneware or other 
heat-absorbing medium before releasing it to the atmosphere, then 
reversing the gas flow so the inlet gas stream passes through the heated 
bed, raising the temperature of the inlet stream close to or at its 
ignition temperature.
    Semichemical combustion unit means any equipment used to combust or 
pyrolyze black liquor at stand-alone semichemical pulp mills for the 
purpose of chemical recovery. Includes black liquor gasification.

furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, or lime kilns at a kraft or soda pulp 
mill.
    Smelt dissolving tanks (SDT) means vessels used for dissolving the 
smelt collected from a kraft or soda recovery furnace.
    Soda pulp mill means any stationary source that produces pulp from 
wood by cooking (digesting) wood chips in a sodium hydroxide solution.

each kraft or soda recovery furnace, sulfite combustion unit, smelt 
dissolving tank or lime kiln, Method 5 or 29 in appendix A of 40 CFR 
part 60 must be used, except that Method 17 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 
60 may be used in lieu of Method 5 or Method 29 if a constant value of 
0.009 g/dscm (0.004 gr/dscf) is added to the results of Method 17, and 
the stack temperature is no greater than 205  deg.C (400  deg.F). The 
sampling time and sample volume for each run must be at least 60 minutes 
and 0.90 dscm (31.8 dscf). Water must be used as the cleanup solvent 
instead of acetone in the sample recovery procedure.
    (2) For sources complying with paragraph (a) or (b) of Sec. 63.862,

to determine the black liquor solids firing rate on a dry basis and the 
CaO production rate.
    (c) The owner or operator seeking to determine compliance with the 
gaseous organic HAP standard in Sec. 63.862(c)(1) without using an NDCE 
recovery furnace equipped with a dry ESP system must use Method 308 in 
appendix A of this part, as well as Methods 1 through 4 in appendix A of 
part 60 of this chapter. The sampling time and sample volume for each 
Method 308 run must be at least 60 minutes and 0.014 dscm (0.50 dscf),

          in the black liquor oxidation system, Mg/hr (ton/hr); 
          determined using process data measured during the performance 
          test.
    (d) The owner or operator seeking to determine compliance with the 
gaseous organic HAP standards in Sec. 63.862(c)(2) for semichemical

       Subpart OO--National Emission Standards for Tanks--Level 1

    Source: 61 FR 34184, July 1, 1996, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.900  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to the control of air emissions 
from tanks for which another subpart of 40 CFR parts 60, 61, or 63 
references the

[[Page 364]]

use of this subpart for such air emission control. These air emission 
standards for tanks are placed here for administrative convenience and 
only apply to those owners and operators of facilities subject to the 
other subparts that reference this subpart. The provisions of 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart A--General Provisions do not apply to this subpart 
except as noted in the subpart that references this subpart.



Sec. 63.901  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given to them 
in the Act and in this section. If a term is defined in both this 
section and in another subpart that references the use of this subpart, 
then the definition in this subpart shall take precedence when 
implementing this subpart.
    Closure device means a cap, hatch, lid, plug, seal, valve, or other 
type of fitting that, when the device is secured in the closed position, 
prevents or reduces air emissions to the atmosphere by blocking an 
opening in a fixed roof. Closure devices include devices that are 
detachable from the cover (e.g., a sampling port cap), manually operated 
(e.g., a hinged access lid or hatch), or automatically operated (e.g., a 
spring-loaded pressure relief valve).
    Fixed roof means a cover that is mounted on a tank in a stationary 
position and does not move with fluctuations in the level of the liquid 
managed in the tank.
    No detectable organic emissions means no escape of organics to the 
atmosphere as determined using the procedure specified in Sec. 63.905(a) 
of this subpart.
    Regulated-material means the material (e.g. waste, wastewater, off-
site material) required to be managed in tanks using air emission 
controls in accordance with the standards specified in this subpart.
    Safety device means a closure device such as a pressure relief 
valve, frangible disc, fusible plug, or any other type of device which 
functions to prevent physical damage or permanent deformation to 
equipment by venting gases or vapors during unsafe conditions resulting 
from an unplanned, accidental, or emergency event. For the purpose of 
this subpart, a safety device is not used for routine venting of gases 
or vapors from the vapor headspace underneath a cover such as during 
filling of the unit or to adjust the pressure in this vapor headspace in 
response to normal daily diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations. A 
safety device is designed to remain in a closed position during normal 
operations and open only when the internal pressure, or another relevant 
parameter, exceeds the device threshold setting applicable to the 
equipment as determined by the owner or operator based on manufacturer 
recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention 
codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements 
for the safe handling of flammable, combustible, explosive, reactive, or 
hazardous materials.
    Tank means a stationary unit that is constructed primarily of 
nonearthen materials (such as wood, concrete, steel, fiberglass, or 
plastic) which provide structural support and is designed to hold an 
accumulation of liquids or other materials.

[61 FR 34184, July 1, 1996, as amended at 64 FR 38985, July 20, 1999]



Sec. 63.902  Standards--Tank fixed roof.

    (a) This section applies to owners and operators subject to this 
subpart and controlling air emissions from a tank using a fixed roof. 
This section does not apply to a fixed-roof tank that is also equipped 
with an internal floating roof.
    (b) The tank shall be equipped with a fixed roof designed to meet 
the following specifications:
    (1) The fixed roof and its closure devices shall be designed to form 
a continuous barrier over the entire surface area of the liquid in the 
tank. The fixed roof may be a separate cover installed on the tank 
(e.g., a removable cover mounted on an open-top tank) or may be an 
integral part of the tank structural design (e.g., a horizontal 
cylindrical tank equipped with a hatch).
    (2) The fixed roof shall be installed in a manner such that there 
are no visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces between roof 
section joints or between the interface of the roof edge and the tank 
wall.

[[Page 365]]

    (3) Each opening in the fixed roof, and any manifold system 
associated with the fixed roof, shall be either:
    (i) equipped with a closure device designed to operate such that 
when the closure device is secured in the closed position there are no 
visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces in the closure device 
or between the perimeter of the opening and the closure device; or
    (ii) connected by a closed-vent system that is vented to a control 
device. The control device shall remove or destroy organics in the vent 
stream, and shall be operating whenever regulated material is managed in 
the tank.
    (4) The fixed roof and its closure devices shall be made of suitable 
materials that will minimize exposure of the regulated-material to the 
atmosphere, to the extent practical, and will maintain the integrity of 
the equipment throughout its intended service life. Factors to be 
considered when selecting the materials for and designing the fixed roof 
and closure devices shall include: organic vapor permeability, the 
effects of any contact with the liquid or its vapors managed in the 
tank; the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture, and sunlight; 
and the operating practices used for the tank on which the fixed roof is 
installed.
    (c) Whenever a regulated-material is in the tank, the fixed roof 
shall be installed with each closure device secured in the closed 
position except as follows:
    (1) Opening of closure devices or removal of the fixed roof is 
allowed at the following times:
    (i) To provide access to the tank for performing routine inspection, 
maintenance, or other activities needed for normal operations. Examples 
of such activities include those times when a worker needs to open a 
port to sample the liquid in the tank, or when a worker needs to open a 
hatch to maintain or repair equipment. Following completion of the 
activity, the owner or operator shall promptly secure the closure device 
in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, to the 
tank.
    (ii) To remove accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom 
of tank.
    (2) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, 
conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device which vents 
to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for the purpose of 
maintaining the tank internal pressure in accordance with the tank 
design specifications. The device shall be designed to operate with no 
detectable organic emissions when the device is secured in the closed 
position. The settings at which the device opens shall be established 
such that the device remains in the closed position whenever the tank 
internal pressure is within the internal pressure operating range 
determined by the owner or operator based on the tank manufacturer 
recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention 
codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements 
for the safe handling of flammable, combustible, explosive, reactive, or 
hazardous materials. Examples of normal operating conditions that may 
require these devices to open are during those times when the container 
internal pressure exceeds the internal pressure operating range for the 
tank as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient temperature 
fluctuations.
    (3) Opening of a safety device, as defined in Sec. 63.901 of this 
subpart, is allowed at any time conditions require it to do so to avoid 
an unsafe condition.
    (d) The owner or operator shall inspect the air emission control 
equipment in accordance with the requirements specified in 
Sec. 63.906(a) of this subpart.

Secs. 63.903-63.904  [Reserved]



Sec. 63.905  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Procedure for determining no detectable organic emissions for 
the purpose of complying with this subpart.
    (1) The test shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures 
specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. Each potential 
leak interface (i.e., a location where organic vapor leakage could 
occur) on the cover and associated closure devices shall be checked. 
Potential leak interfaces that are associated with covers and closure

[[Page 366]]

devices include, but are not limited to: the interface of the cover and 
its foundation mounting; the periphery of any opening on the cover and 
its associated closure device; and the sealing seat interface on a 
spring-loaded pressure-relief valve.
    (2) The test shall be performed when the unit contains a material 
having a total organic concentration representative of the range of 
concentrations for the materials expected to be managed in the unit. 
During the test, the cover and closure devices shall be secured in the 
closed position.
    (3) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response 
factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the 
average composition of the organic constituents in the material placed 
in the unit, not for each individual organic constituent.
    (4) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A.
    (5) Calibration gases shall be as follows:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 ppmv hydrocarbon in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane in air at a concentration of 
approximately, but less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (6) An owner or operator may choose to adjust or not adjust the 
detection instrument readings to account for the background organic 
concentration level. If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the 
instrument readings for the background level, the background level value 
must be determined according to the procedures in Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A.
    (7) Each potential leak interface shall be checked by traversing the 
instrument probe around the potential leak interface as close to the 
interface as possible, as described in Method 21. In the case when the 
configuration of the cover or closure device prevents a complete 
traverse of the interface, all accessible portions of the interface 
shall be sampled. In the case when the configuration of the closure 
device prevents any sampling at the interface and the device is equipped 
with an enclosed extension or horn (e.g., some pressure relief devices), 
the instrument probe inlet shall be placed at approximately the center 
of the exhaust area to the atmosphere.
    (8) An owner or operator must determine if a potential leak 
interface operates with no detectable emissions using the applicable 
procedure specified in paragraph (a)(8)(i) or (a)(8)(ii) of this 
section.
    (i) If an owner or operator chooses not to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, then 
the maximum organic concentration value measured by the detection 
instrument is compared directly to the applicable value for the 
potential leak interface as specified in paragraph (a)(9) of this 
section.
    (ii) If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, the 
value of the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic 
concentration value measured by the instrument and the background 
organic concentration value as determined in paragraph (a)(6) of this 
section is compared with the applicable value for the potential leak 
interface as specified in paragraph (a)(9) of this section.
    (9) A potential leak interface is determined to operate with no 
detectable emissions using the applicable criteria specified in 
paragraphs (a)(9)(i) and (a)(9)(ii) of this section.
    (i) For a potential leak interface other than a seal around a shaft 
that passes through a cover opening, the potential leak interface is 
determined to operate with no detectable organic emissions if the 
organic concentration value determined in paragraph (a)(8) is less than 
500 ppmv.
    (ii) For a seal around a shaft that passes through a cover opening, 
the potential leak interface is determined to operate with no detectable 
organic emissions if the organic concentration value determined in 
paragraph (a)(8) is less than 10,000 ppmv.

meet the following requirements:
    (1) The fixed roof and its closure devices shall be visually 
inspected by the owner or operator to check for defects that could 
result in air emissions. Defects include, but are not limited to, 
visible cracks, holes, or gaps in the roof sections or between the roof 
and the tank wall; broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged seals or 
gaskets on closure devices; and broken or missing hatches, access 
covers, caps, or other closure devices.
    (2) The owner or operator must perform an initial inspection 
following installation of the fixed roof. Thereafter, the owner or 
operator must perform the inspections at least once every calendar year 
except as provided for in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (3) In the event that a defect is detected, the owner or operator 
shall repair the defect in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 
(b) of this section.
    (4) The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the inspection 
in accordance with the requirements specified in Sec. 63.907 (a) of this 
subpart.
    (b) The owner or operator shall repair all detected defects as 
follows:
    (1) The owner or operator shall make first efforts at repair of the 
defect no later than 5 calendar days after detection and repair shall be 
completed as soon as possible but no later than 45 calendar days after 
detection except as provided in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
    (2) Repair of a defect may be delayed beyond 45 calendar days if the 
owner or operator determines that repair of the defect requires emptying 
or temporary removal from service of the tank and no alternative tank 
capacity is available at the site to accept the regulated material 
normally managed in the tank. In this case, the owner or operator shall 
repair the defect the next time alternative tank capacity becomes 
available and the tank can be emptied or temporarily removed from 
service, as necessary to complete the repair.
    (c) The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the defect 
repair in accordance with the requirements specified in Sec. 63.907(b) 
of this subpart.
    (d) Alternative inspection and monitoring interval. Following the 
initial inspection and monitoring of a fixed roof in accordance with 
this section, subsequent inspection and monitoring of the equipment may 
be performed at intervals longer than 1 year when an owner or operator 
determines that performing the required inspection or monitoring 
procedures would expose a worker to dangerous, hazardous, or otherwise 
unsafe conditions and the owner or operator complies with the 
requirements specified in paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator must prepare and maintain at the plant 
site written documentation identifying the specific air pollution 
control equipment designated as ``unsafe to inspect and monitor.'' The 
documentation must include for each piece of air pollution control 
equipment designated as such a written explanation of the reasons why 
the equipment is unsafe to inspect or monitor using the applicable 
procedures under this section.
    (2) The owner or operator must develop and implement a written plan 
and schedule to inspect and monitor the air pollution control equipment 
using the applicable procedures specified in this section during times 
when a worker can safely access the air pollution control equipment. The 
required inspections and monitoring must be performed as frequently as 
practicable but do not need to be performed more frequently than the 
periodic schedule that would be otherwise applicable to the air 
pollution control equipment under the provisions of this section. A copy 
of the written plan and schedule must be maintained at the plant site.

         Subpart PP--National Emission Standards for Containers

    Source: 61 FR 34186, July 1, 1996, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.920  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to the control of air emissions 
from containers for which another subpart of 40 CFR parts 60, 61, or 63 
references the use of this subpart for such air emission control. These 
air emission standards for containers are placed here for administrative 
convenience and only apply to those owners and operators of facilities 
subject to the other subparts that reference this subpart. The 
provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, subpart A--General Provisions do not apply 
to this subpart except as noted in the subpart that references this 
subpart.



Sec. 63.921  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given to them 
in the Act and in this section. If a term is defined in both this 
section and in another subpart that references the use of this subpart, 
then the definition in this subpart shall take precedence when 
implementing this subpart.
    Container means a portable unit in which a material can be stored, 
transported, treated, disposed of, or otherwise handled. Examples of 
containers include but are not limited to drums, dumpsters, roll-off 
boxes, bulk cargo containers commonly known as ``portable tanks'' or 
``totes,'' cargo tank trucks, and tank railcars.
    Closure device means a cover, cap, hatch, lid, plug, seal, valve, or 
other type of fitting that prevents or reduces air emissions to the 
atmosphere by blocking an opening in a container or its cover when the 
device is secured in the closed position. Closure devices include 
devices that are detachable from the container (e.g., a drum head, a 
threaded plug), manually operated (e.g., a hinged dumpster lid, a truck 
tank hatch), or automatically operated (e.g., a spring loaded pressure 
relief valve).
    Empty container means a container for which either of the following 
conditions exists: the container meets the conditions for an empty 
container specified in 40 CFR 261.7(b); or all regulated-material has 
been removed from the container except for any regulated-material that 
remains on the interior surfaces of the container as clingage or in 
pools on the container bottom due to irregularities in the container.
    No detectable organic emissions means no escape of organics to the 
atmosphere as determined using the procedure specified in Sec. 63.925(a) 
of this subpart.
    Regulated-material means the material (e.g. waste, wastewater, off-
site material) required to be managed in containers using air emission 
controls in accordance with the standards specified in this subpart.
    Safety device means a closure device such as a pressure relief 
valve, frangible disc, fusible plug, or any other type of device which 
functions to prevent physical damage or permanent deformation to 
equipment by venting gases or vapors during unsafe conditions resulting 
from an unplanned, accidental, or emergency event. For the purpose of 
this subpart, a safety device is not used for routine venting of gases 
or vapors from the vapor headspace underneath a cover such as during 
filling of the unit or to adjust the pressure in this vapor headspace in 
response to

[[Page 369]]

normal daily diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations. A safety device 
is designed to remain in a closed position during normal operations and 
open only when the internal pressure, or another relevant parameter, 
exceeds the device threshold setting applicable to the equipment as 
determined by the owner or operator based on manufacturer 
recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention 
codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements 
for the safe handling of flammable, combustible, explosive, reactive, or 
hazardous materials.

Sec. 63.922  Standards--Container Level 1 controls.

    (a) This section applies to owners and operators subject to this 
subpart and required to control air emissions from containers using 
Container Level 1 controls.
    (b) A container using Container Level 1 controls is one of the 
following:
    (1) A container that meets the applicable U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT) regulations on packaging hazardous materials for 
transportation as specified in paragraph (f) of this section.
    (2) A container equipped with a cover and closure devices that form 
a continuous barrier over the container openings such that when the 
cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position there are 
no visible holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of the 
container. The cover may be a separate cover installed on the container 
(e.g., a lid on a drum, a suitably secured tarp on a roll-off box) or 
may be an integral part of the container structural design (e.g., a bulk 
cargo container equipped with a screw-type cap).
    (3) An open-top container in which an organic vapor-suppressing 
barrier is placed on or over the regulated-material in the container 
such that no regulated-material is exposed to the atmosphere. One 
example of such a barrier is application of a suitable organic-vapor 
suppressing foam.
    (c) A container used to meet the requirements of either paragraph 
(b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section shall be equipped with covers and 
closure devices, as applicable to the container, that are composed of 
suitable materials to minimize exposure of the regulated-material to the 
atmosphere and to maintain the equipment integrity for as long as it is 
in service. Factors to be considered when selecting the materials for 
and designing the cover and closure devices shall include: organic vapor 
permeability, the effects of contact with the material or its vapor 
managed in the container; the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, 
moisture, and sunlight; and the operating practices used for container 
on which the cover is installed.
    (d) Whenever a regulated-material is in a container using Container 
Level 1 controls, the owner or operator shall install all covers and 
closure devices for the container, and secure and maintain each closure 
device in the closed position except as follows:
    (1) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose 
of adding material to the container as follows:
    (i) In the case when the container is filled to the intended final 
level in one continuous operation, the owner or operator shall promptly 
secure the closure devices in the closed position and install the 
covers, as applicable to the container, upon conclusion of the filling 
operation.
    (ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material 
intermittently are added to the container over a period of time, the 
owner or operator shall promptly secure the closure devices in the 
closed position and install covers, as applicable to the container, upon 
either: the container being filled to the intended final level; the 
completion of a batch loading after which no additional material will be 
added to the container within 15 minutes; the person performing the 
loading operation leaves the immediate vicinity of the container; or the 
shutdown of the process generating the material being added to the 
container, whichever condition occurs first.
    (2) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose 
of removing material from the container as follows:

[[Page 370]]

    (i) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of this section, an 
empty container as defined in Sec. 63.921 of this subpart may be open to 
the atmosphere at any time (e.g., covers and closure devices are not 
required to be secured in the closed position on an empty container).
    (ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material are 
removed from the container but the container does not meet the 
conditions to be an empty container as defined in Sec. 63.921 of this 
subpart, the owner or operator shall promptly secure the closure devices 
in the closed position and install covers, as applicable to the 
container, upon the completion of a batch removal after which no 
additional material will be removed from the container within 15 
minutes, or the person performing the unloading operation leaves the 
immediate vicinity of the container, whichever condition occurs first.
    (3) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed when access 
inside the container is needed to perform routine activities other than 
transfer of regulated-material. Examples of such activities include 
those times when a worker needs to open a port to measure the depth of 
or sample the material in the container, or when a worker needs to open 
a manhole hatch to access equipment inside the container. Following 
completion of the activity, the owner or operator shall promptly secure 
the closure device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as 
applicable to the container.
    (4) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, 
conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device which vents 
to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for the purpose of 
maintaining the container internal pressure in accordance with the 
container design specifications. The device shall be designed to operate 
with no detectable organic emissions when the device is secured in the 
closed position. The settings at which the device opens shall be 
established such that the device remains in the closed position whenever 
the container internal pressure is within the internal pressure 
operating range determined by the owner or operator based on container 
manufacturer recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection 
and prevention codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other 
requirements for the safe handling of flammable, ignitable, explosive, 
reactive, or hazardous materials. Examples of normal operating 
conditions that may require these devices to open are during those times 
when the container internal pressure exceeds the internal pressure 
operating range for the container as a result of loading operations or 
diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations.
    (5) Opening of a safety device, as defined in Sec. 63.921 of this 
subpart, is allowed at any time conditions require it to do so to avoid 
an unsafe condition.
    (e) The owner or operator shall inspect containers using Container 
Level 1 controls in accordance with the procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.926(a) of this subpart.

section, containers shall be used that meet the applicable U.S. DOT 
regulations on packaging hazardous materials for transportation as 
follows:
    (1) The container meets the applicable requirements specified in 49 
CFR part 178--Specifications for Packagings or 49 CFR part 179--
Specifications for Tank Cars.
    (2) Regulated-material is managed in the container in accordance 
with the applicable requirements specified in 49 CFR part 107 subpart B-
-Exemptions; 49 CFR part 172--Hazardous Materials Table, Special 
Provisions, Hazardous Materials Communications, Emergency Response 
Information, and Training Requirements; 49 CFR part 173--Shippers--
General Requirements for Shipments and Packaging; and 49 CFR part 180--
Continuing Qualification and Maintenance of Packagings.
    (3) For the purpose of complying with this subpart, no exceptions to 
the 49 CFR part 178 or part 179 regulations are allowed except as 
provided for in paragraph (f)(4) of this section.
    (4) For a lab pack that is managed in accordance with the 
requirements of 49 CFR part 178 for the purpose of complying with this 
subpart, an owner or

[[Page 371]]

operator may comply with the exceptions for those packagings specified 
in 49 CFR 173.12(b).

Sec. 63.925  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Procedures for determining no detectable organic emissions for 
the purpose of complying with this subpart.
    (1) The test shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures 
specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. Each potential 
leak interface (i.e., a location where organic vapor leakage could 
occur) on the cover and associated closure devices shall be checked. 
Potential leak interfaces that are associated with covers and closure 
devices include, but are not limited to: the interface of the cover and 
its foundation mounting; the periphery of any opening on the cover and 
its associated closure device; and the sealing seat interface on a 
spring-loaded pressure-relief valve.
    (2) The test shall be performed when the unit contains a material 
having a total organic concentration representative of the range of 
concentrations for the materials expected to be managed in the unit. 
During the test, the cover and closure devices shall be secured in the 
closed position.
    (3) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response 
factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the 
average composition of the organic constituents in the material placed 
in the unit, not for each individual organic constituent.
    (4) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A.
    (5) Calibration gases shall be as follows:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 ppmv hydrocarbon in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane in air at a concentration of 
approximately, but less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (6) An owner or operator may choose to adjust or not adjust the 
detection instrument readings to account for the background organic 
concentration level. If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the 
instrument readings for the background level, the background level value 
must be determined according to the procedures in Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A.
    (7) Each potential leak interface shall be checked by traversing the 
instrument probe around the potential leak interface as close to the 
interface as possible, as described in Method 21. In the case when the 
configuration of the cover or closure device prevents a complete 
traverse of the interface, all accessible portions of the interface 
shall be sampled. In the case when the configuration of the closure 
device prevents any sampling at the interface and the device is equipped 
with an enclosed extension or horn (e.g., some pressure relief devices), 
the instrument

[[Page 374]]

probe inlet shall be placed at approximately the center of the exhaust 
area to the atmosphere.
    (8) An owner or operator must determine if a potential leak 
interface operates with no detectable emissions using the applicable 
procedure specified in paragraph (a)(8)(i) or (a)(8)(ii) of this 
section.
    (i) If an owner or operator chooses not to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, then 
the maximum organic concentration value measured by the detection 
instrument is compared directly to the applicable value for the 
potential leak interface as specified in paragraph (a)(9) of this 
section.
    (ii) If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, the 
value of the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic 
concentration value measured by the instrument and the background 
organic concentration value as determined in paragraph (a)(6) of this 
section is compared with the applicable value for the potential leak 
interface as specified in paragraph (a)(9) of this section.
    (9) A potential leak interface is determined to operate with no 
detectable emissions using the applicable criteria specified in 
paragraphs (a)(9)(i) and (a)(9)(ii) of this section.
    (i) For a potential leak interface other than a seal around a shaft 
that passes through a cover opening, the potential leak interface is 
determined to operate with no detectable organic emissions if the 
organic concentration value determined in paragraph (a)(8) is less than 
500 ppmv.
    (ii) For a seal around a shaft that passes through a cover opening, 
the potential leak interface is determined to operate with no detectable 
organic emissions if the organic concentration value determined in 
paragraph (a)(8) is less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (b) Procedure for determining a container to be vapor-tight for the 
purpose of complying with this subpart.
    (1) The test shall be performed in accordance with Method 27 of 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A of this chapter.
    (2) A pressure measurement device shall be used that has a precision 
of  2.5 mm water and that is capable of measuring above the 
pressure at which the container is to be tested for vapor tightness.
    (3) If the test results determined by Method 27 indicate that the 
container sustains a pressure change less than or equal to 750 Pascals 
within 5 minutes after it is pressurized to a minimum of 4,500 Pascals, 
then the container is determined to be vapor-tight.

Sec. 63.922 and Sec. 63.923 of this subpart, respectively, shall inspect 
the container and its cover and closure devices as follows:
    (1) In the case when a regulated-material already is in the 
container at the time the owner or operator first accepts possession of 
the container at the facility site and the container is not emptied 
(i.e., does not meet the conditions for an empty container as defined in 
Sec. 63.921 of this subpart) within 24 hours after the container has 
been accepted at the facility site, the container and its cover and 
closure devices shall be visually inspected by the owner or operator to 
check for visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the 
interior of the container when the cover and closure devices are secured 
in the closed position. This inspection of the container must be 
conducted on or before the date that the container is accepted at the 
facility (i.e., the date that the container becomes subject to the 
standards under this subpart). For the purpose of this requirement, the 
date of acceptance is the date of signature of the facility owner or 
operator on the manifest or shipping papers accompanying the container. 
If a defect is detected, the owner or operator shall repair the defect 
in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (a)(3) of this section.

[[Page 375]]

    (2) In the case when a container filled or partially filled with 
regulated-material remains unopened at the facility site for a period of 
1 year or more, the container and its cover and closure devices shall be 
visually inspected by the owner or operator initially and thereafter, at 
least once every calendar year, to check for visible cracks, holes, 
gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of the container when the 
cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position. If a 
defect is detected, the owner or operator shall repair the defect in 
accordance with the requirements of paragraph (a)(3) of this section.
    (3) When a defect is detected for the container, cover, or closure 
devices, the owner or operator must either empty the regulated-material 
from the defective container in accordance with paragraph (a)(3)(i) of 
this section or repair the defective container in accordance with 
paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (i) If the owner or operator elects to empty the regulated-material 
from the defective container, the owner or operator must remove the 
regulated-material from the defective container to meet the conditions 
for an empty container (as defined in Sec. 63.921 of this subpart) and 
transfer the removed regulated-material to either a container that meets 
the applicable standards under this subpart or to a tank, process, or 
treatment unit that meets the applicable standards under the subpart 
referencing this subpart. Transfer of the regulated-material must be 
completed no later than 5 calendar days after detection of the defect. 
The emptied defective container must be either repaired, destroyed, or 
used for purposes other than management of regulated-material.
    (ii) If the owner or operator elects not to empty the regulated-
material from the defective container, the owner or operator must repair 
the defective container. First efforts at repair of the defect must be 
made no later than 24 hours after detection and repair must be completed 
as soon as possible but no later than 5 calendar days after detection. 
If repair of a defect cannot be completed within 5 calendar days, then 
the regulated-material must be emptied from the container and the 
container must not be used to manage regulated-material until the defect 
is repaired.

    Subpart QQ--National Emission Standards for Surface Impoundments

    Source: 61 FR 34190, July 1, 1996, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.940  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to the control of air emissions 
from surface impoundments for which another subpart of 40 CFR parts 60, 
61, or 63 references the use of this subpart for such air emission 
control. These air emission standards for surface impoundments are 
placed here for administrative convenience and only apply to those 
owners and operators of facilities subject to the other subparts that 
reference this subpart. The provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart AA--
General Provisions do not apply to this subpart except as noted in the 
subpart that references this subpart.



Sec. 63.941  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given to them 
in the Act and in this section. If a term is defined in both this 
section and in another subpart that references the use of this subpart, 
then the definition in this subpart shall take precedence when 
implementing this subpart.
    Closure device means a cap, hatch, lid, plug, seal, valve, or other 
type of fitting that prevents or reduces air emissions to the atmosphere 
by blocking an opening in a surface impoundment cover when the device is 
secured in the closed position. Closure devices include devices that are 
detachable from the cover (e.g., a sampling port cap), manually operated 
(e.g., a hinged access lid or hatch), or automatically operated (e.g., a 
spring loaded pressure relief valve).
    Cover means a device or system that provides a continuous barrier 
over the material managed in a surface impoundment to prevent or reduce 
air pollutant emissions to the atmosphere. A cover may have openings 
needed for operation, inspection, sampling, maintenance, and repair of 
the surface impoundment provided that each opening is closed when not in 
use (e.g., access hatches, sampling ports). Examples of a cover for a 
surface impoundment include, but are not limited to, a floating membrane 
cover placed on the surface of the material in the surface impoundment 
or an air-supported structure installed over the surface impoundment.
    No detectable organic emissions means no escape of organics to the 
atmosphere as determined using the procedure specified in Sec. 63.944(a) 
of this subpart.
    Regulated-material means the material (e.g. waste, wastewater, off-
site material) required to be managed in containers using air emission 
controls in accordance with the standards specified in this subpart.
    Safety device means a closure device such as a pressure relief 
valve, frangible disc, fusible plug, or any other type of device which 
functions to prevent physical damage or permanent deformation to 
equipment by venting gases or vapors during unsafe conditions resulting 
from an unplanned, accidental, or emergency event. For the purpose of 
this subpart, a safety device is not used for routine venting of gases 
or vapors from the vapor headspace underneath a cover such as during 
filling of the unit or to adjust the pressure in this vapor headspace in 
response to normal daily diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations. A 
safety device is designed to remain in a closed position during normal 
operations and open only when the internal pressure, or another relevant 
parameter, exceeds the device threshold setting applicable to the 
equipment as determined by the owner or operator based on manufacturer 
recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention 
codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements 
for the safe handling of flammable, combustible, explosive, reactive, or 
hazardous materials.
    Surface impoundment means a unit that is a natural topographical 
depression, man-made excavation, or diked area formed primarily of 
earthen materials (although it may be lined with

[[Page 377]]

man-made materials), which is designed to hold an accumulation of 
liquids. Examples of surface impoundments include holding, storage, 
settling, and aeration pits, ponds, and lagoons.

    (2) The cover shall be fabricated from a synthetic membrane material 
that is either:
    (i) High density polyethylene (HDPE) with a thickness no less than 
2.5 millimeters (mm); or
    (ii) A material or a composite of different materials determined to 
have both organic permeability properties that are equivalent to those 
of the material listed in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section; and 
chemical and physical properties that maintain the material integrity 
for the intended service life of the material.
    (3) The cover shall be installed in a manner such that there are no 
visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces between cover section 
seams or between the interface of the cover edge and its foundation 
mountings.
    (4) Except as provided for in paragraph (b)(5) of this section, each 
opening in the floating membrane cover shall be equipped with a closure 
device designed to operate such that when the closure device is secured 
in the closed position there are no visible cracks, holes, gaps, or 
other open spaces in the closure device or between the perimeter of the 
cover opening and the closure device.
    (5) The floating membrane cover may be equipped with one or more 
emergency cover drains for removal of stormwater. Each emergency cover 
drain shall be equipped with a slotted membrane fabric cover that covers 
at least 90 percent of the area of the opening or a flexible fabric 
sleeve seal.
    (6) The closure devices shall be made of suitable materials that 
will minimize exposure of the regulated-material to the atmosphere, to 
the extent practical, and will maintain the integrity of the equipment 
throughout its intended service life. Factors to be considered when 
selecting the materials for and designing the cover and closure devices 
shall include: organic vapor permeability; the effects of any contact 
with the liquid and its vapor managed in the surface impoundment; the 
effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture, and sunlight; and the 
operating practices used for the surface impoundment on which the 
floating membrane cover is installed.
    (c) Whenever a regulated-material is in the surface impoundment, the 
floating membrane cover shall float on the liquid and each closure 
device shall be secured in the closed position except as follows:
    (1) Opening of closure devices or removal of the cover is allowed at 
the following times:
    (i) To provide access to the surface impoundment for performing 
routine inspection, maintenance, or other activities needed for normal 
operations. Examples of such activities include those times when a 
worker needs to open a port to sample the liquid in the surface 
impoundment, or when a worker needs to open a hatch to maintain or 
repair equipment. Following completion of the activity, the owner or 
operator shall promptly replace the cover and secure the closure device 
in the closed position, as applicable.
    (ii) To remove accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom 
of surface impoundment.
    (2) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, 
conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device which vents 
to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for the purpose of 
maintaining the pressure in the vapor headspace underneath the cover in 
accordance with the cover design specifications. The device shall

[[Page 378]]

be designed to operate with no detectable organic emissions as defined 
in Sec. 63.941 of this subpart when the device is secured in the closed 
position. The settings at which the device opens shall be established 
such that the device remains in the closed position whenever the cover 
vapor headspace pressure is within the pressure operating range 
determined by the owner or operator based on the cover manufacturer 
recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention 
codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements 
for the safe handling of flammable, ignitible, explosive, reactive, or 
hazardous materials.
    (3) Opening of a safety device, as defined in Sec. 63.941 of this 
subpart, is allowed at any time conditions require it to do so to avoid 
an unsafe condition.
    (d) The owner or operator shall inspect the floating membrane cover 
in accordance with the procedures specified in Sec. 63.946(a) of this 
subpart.



Sec. 63.943  Standards--Surface impoundment vented to control device.

    (a) This section applies to owners and operators subject to this 
subpart and controlling air emissions from a surface impoundment using a 
cover and venting the vapor headspace underneath the cover through a 
closed-vent system to a control device.
    (b) The surface impoundment shall be covered by a cover and vented 
directly through a closed-vent system to a control device in accordance 
with the following requirements:
    (1) The cover and its closure devices shall be designed to form a 
continuous barrier over the entire surface area of the liquid in the 
surface impoundment.
    (2) Each opening in the cover not vented to the control device shall 
be equipped with a closure device. If the pressure in the vapor 
headspace underneath the cover is less than atmospheric pressure when 
the control device is operating, the closure devices shall be designed 
to operate such that when the closure device is secured in the closed 
position there are no visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces 
in the closure device or between the perimeter of the cover opening and 
the closure device. If the pressure in the vapor headspace underneath 
the cover is equal to or greater than atmospheric pressure when the 
control device is operating, the closure device shall be designed to 
operate with no detectable organic emissions using the procedure 
specified in Sec. 63.945(a) of this subpart.
    (3) The cover and its closure devices shall be made of suitable 
materials that will minimize exposure of the regulated-material to the 
atmosphere, to the extent practical, and will maintain the integrity of 
the equipment throughout its intended service life. Factors to be 
considered when selecting the materials for and designing the cover and 
closure devices shall include: organic vapor permeability; the effects 
of any contact with the liquid or its vapors managed in the surface 
impoundment; the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture, and 
sunlight; and the operating practices used for the surface impoundment 
on which the cover is installed.
    (4) The closed-vent system and control device shall be designed and 
operated in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 63.693 in 40 CFR

Pollutant Standards from Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations.
    (c) Whenever a regulated-material is in the surface impoundment, the 
cover shall be installed with each closure device secured in the closed 
position and the vapor headspace underneath the cover vented to the 
control device except as follows:
    (1) Venting to the control device is not required, and opening of 
closure devices or removal of the cover is allowed at the following 
times:
    (i) To provide access to the surface impoundment for performing 
routine inspection, maintenance, or other activities needed for normal 
operations. Examples of such activities include those times when a 
worker needs to open a port to sample liquid in the surface impoundment, 
or when a worker needs to open a hatch to maintain or repair equipment. 
Following completion of the activity, the owner or operator shall 
promptly secure the closure

[[Page 379]]

device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, to 
the surface impoundment.
    (ii) To remove accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom 
of surface impoundment.
    (2) Opening of a safety device, as defined in Sec. 63.941 of this

control equipment in accordance with the procedures specified in 
Sec. 63.946(b) of this subpart.



Sec. 63.944  [Reserved]



Sec. 63.945  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Procedure for determining no detectable organic emissions for 
the purpose of complying with this subpart.
    (1) The test shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures 
specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. Each potential 
leak interface (i.e., a location where organic vapor leakage could 
occur) on the cover and associated closure devices shall be checked. 
Potential leak interfaces that are associated with covers and closure 
devices include, but are not limited to the interface of the cover and 
its foundation mounting; the periphery of any opening on the cover and 
its associated closure device; and the sealing seat interface on a 
spring-loaded pressure-relief valve.
    (2) The test shall be performed when the unit contains a material 
having a total organic concentration representative of the range of 
concentrations for the materials expected to be managed in the unit. 
During the test, the cover and closure devices shall be secured in the 
closed position.
    (3) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response 
factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the 
average composition of the organic constituents in the material placed 
in the unit, not for each individual organic constituent.
    (4) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A.
    (5) Calibration gases shall be as follows:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 ppmv hydrocarbon in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane in air at a concentration of 
approximately, but less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (6) An owner or operator may choose to adjust or not adjust the 
detection instrument readings to account for the background organic 
concentration level. If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the 
instrument readings for the background level, the background level value 
must be determined according to the procedures in Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A.
    (7) Each potential leak interface shall be checked by traversing the 
instrument probe around the potential leak interface as close to the 
interface as possible, as described in Method 21. In the case when the 
configuration of the cover or closure device prevents a complete 
traverse of the interface, all accessible portions of the interface 
shall be sampled. In the case when the configuration of the closure 
device prevents any sampling at the interface and the device is equipped 
with an enclosed extension or horn (e.g., some pressure relief devices), 
the instrument probe inlet shall be placed at approximately the center 
of the exhaust area to the atmosphere.
    (8) An owner or operator must determine if a potential leak 
interface operates with no detectable emissions using the applicable 
procedure specified in paragraph (a)(8)(i) or (a)(8)(ii) of this 
section.
    (i) If an owner or operator chooses not to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, then 
the maximum organic concentration value measured by the detection 
instrument is compared directly to the applicable value for the 
potential leak interface as specified in paragraph (a)(9) of this 
section.
    (ii) If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, the 
value of the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic 
concentration value measured

[[Page 380]]

by the instrument and the background organic concentration value as 
determined in paragraph (a)(6) of this section is compared with the 
applicable value for the potential leak interface as specified in 
paragraph (a)(9) of this section.
    (9) A potential leak interface is determined to operate with no 
detectable emissions using the applicable criteria specified in 
paragraphs (a)(9)(i) and (a)(9)(ii) of this section.
    (i) For a potential leak interface other than a seal around a shaft 
that passes through a cover opening, the potential leak interface is 
determined to operate with no detectable organic emissions if the 
organic concentration value determined in paragraph (a)(8) is less than 
500 ppmv.
    (ii) For a seal around a shaft that passes through a cover opening, 
the potential leak interface is determined to operate with no detectable 
organic emissions if the organic concentration value determined in 
paragraph (a)(8) is less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (b) [Reserved]

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given to them 
in the Act and in this section. If a term is defined in both this 
section and in another subpart that references the use of this subpart, 
then the definition in this subpart shall take precedence when 
implementing this subpart.
    Closure device means a cap, cover, hatch, lid, plug, seal, valve, or 
other type of fitting that, when the device is secured in the closed 
position, prevents or reduces air emissions to the atmosphere by 
blocking an opening to the individual drain system. Closure devices 
include devices that are detachable (e.g., a plug or manhole cover), 
manually operated (e.g., a hinged access lid or hatch), or automatically 
operated (e.g., a spring-loaded pressure relief valve).
    Hard-piping means pipe or tubing that is manufactured and properly 
installed in accordance with relevant standards (e.g., ANSI B31-3) and 
good engineering practices.
    Individual drain system means a stationary system used to convey 
regulated-material to a waste management unit or to discharge or 
disposal. The term includes hard-piping, all drains and junction boxes, 
together with their associated sewer lines and other junction boxes 
(e.g., manholes, sumps, and lift stations) conveying regulated-material. 
For the purpose of this subpart, an individual drain system is not a 
drain and collection system that is designed and operated for the sole 
purpose of collecting rainfall runoff (e.g., stormwater sewer system) 
and is segregated from all other individual drain systems.
    Junction box means a sump, manhole, or access point to a sewer line 
or a lift station.
    Regulated-material means the wastewater streams, residuals, and any 
other materials specified by the referencing subpart to be managed in 
accordance with the standards under this subpart.
    Sewer line means a lateral, trunk line, branch line, or other 
conduit used to convey regulated-material to a downstream waste 
management unit. Sewer lines include pipes, grates, and trenches.
    Waste management unit means the equipment, structure, or device used 
to convey, store, treat, or dispose of regulated-material. Examples of 
waste management units include: wastewater tanks, surface impoundments, 
individual drain systems, and biological wastewater treatment units. 
Examples of equipment that may be waste management units include 
containers, air

[[Page 383]]

flotation units, oil-water separators or organic-water separators, or 
organic removal devices such as decanters, strippers, or thin-film 
evaporation units.
    Water seal means a seal pot, p-leg trap, or other type of trap 
filled with water (e.g., flooded sewers that maintain liquid levels 
adequate to prevent air flow through the system) that creates a liquid 
barrier between the sewer line and the atmosphere. The liquid level of 
the seal must be maintained in the vertical leg of a drain in order to 
be considered a water seal.

Subpart SS--National Emission Standards for Closed Vent Systems, Control 
 Devices, Recovery Devices and Routing to a Fuel Gas System or a Process

    Source: 64 FR 34866, June 29, 1999, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.980  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart include requirements for closed vent 
systems, control devices and routing of air emissions to a fuel gas 
system or process. These provisions apply when another subpart 
references the use of this subpart for such air emission control. These 
air emission standards are placed here for administrative convenience 
and only apply to those owners and operators of facilities subject to a 
referencing subpart. The provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A 
(General Provisions) do not apply to this subpart except as specified in 
a referencing subpart.



Sec. 63.981  Definitions.

    Alternative test method means any method of sampling and analyzing 
for an air pollutant that is not a reference test or equivalent method, 
and that has been demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction, 
using Method 301 in appendix A of this part 63, or previously approved 
by the Administrator prior to the promulgation date of standards for an 
affected source or affected facility under a referencing subpart, to 
produce results adequate for the Administrator's determination that it 
may be used in place of a test method specified in this subpart.
    Boiler means any enclosed combustion device that extracts useful 
energy in the form of steam and is not an incinerator or a process 
heater.
    By compound means by individual stream components, not carbon 
equivalents.
    Closed vent system means a system that is not open to the atmosphere 
and is composed of piping, ductwork, connections, and, if necessary, 
flow inducing devices that transport gas or vapor from an emission point 
to a control device. Closed vent system does not include the vapor 
collection system that is part of any tank truck or railcar.
    Closed vent system shutdown means a work practice or operational 
procedure that stops production from a process unit or part of a process 
unit during which it is technically feasible to clear process material 
from a closed vent system or part of a closed vent system consistent 
with safety constraints and during which repairs can be effected. An 
unscheduled work practice or operational procedure that stops production 
from a process unit or part of a process unit for less than 24 hours is 
not a closed vent system shutdown. An unscheduled work practice or 
operational procedure that would stop production from a process unit or 
part of a process unit for a shorter period of time than would be 
required to clear the closed vent system or part of the closed vent 
system of materials and start up the unit, and would result in greater 
emissions than delay of repair of leaking components until the next 
scheduled closed vent system shutdown, is not a closed vent system 
shutdown. The use of spare equipment and technically feasible bypassing 
of equipment without stopping production are not closed vent system 
shutdowns.
    Combustion device means an individual unit of equipment, such as a 
flare, incinerator, process heater, or boiler, used for the combustion 
of organic emissions.
    Continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) means the total 
equipment that may be required to meet the data acquisition and 
availability requirements of this part, used to sample, condition (if 
applicable), analyze, and provide a record of process or control system 
parameters.
    Continuous record means documentation, either in hard copy or 
computer readable form, of data values measured at least once every 15 
minutes and recorded at the frequency specified in Sec. 63.998(b).
    Control device means, with the exceptions noted below, a combustion 
device, recovery device, recapture device, or any combination of these 
devices used to comply with this subpart or a referencing subpart. For 
process vents from continuous unit operations at affected sources in 
subcategories where

[[Page 387]]

the applicability criteria includes a TRE index value, recovery devices 
are not considered to be control devices. Primary condensers on steam 
strippers or fuel gas systems are not considered to be control devices.
    Control System means the combination of the closed vent system and 
the control devices used to collect and control vapors or gases from a 
regulated emission source.
    Day means a calendar day.
    Ductwork means a conveyance system such as those commonly used for 
heating and ventilation systems. It is often made of sheet metal and 
often has sections connected by screws or crimping. Hard-piping is not 
ductwork.
    Final recovery device means the last recovery device on a process 
vent stream from a continuous unit operation at an affected source in a 
subcategory where the applicability criteria includes a TRE index value. 
The final recovery device usually discharges to a combustion device, 
recapture device, or directly to the atmosphere.
    First attempt at repair, for the purposes of this subpart, means to 
take action for the purpose of stopping or reducing leakage of organic 
material to the atmosphere, followed by monitoring as specified in 
Sec. 63.983(c) to verify whether the leak is repaired, unless the owner 
or operator determines by other means that the leak is not repaired.
    Flame zone means the portion of the combustion chamber in a boiler 
or process heater occupied by the flame envelope.
    Flow indicator means a device which indicates whether gas flow is, 
or whether the valve position would allow gas flow to be, present in a 
line.
    Fuel gas means gases that are combusted to derive useful work or 
heat.
    Fuel gas system means the offsite and onsite piping and flow and 
pressure control system that gathers gaseous streams generated by onsite 
operations, may blend them with other sources of gas, and transports the 
gaseous streams for use as fuel gas in combustion devices or in-process 
combustion equipment such as furnaces and gas turbines, either singly or 
in combination.
    Hard-piping means pipe or tubing that is manufactured and properly 
installed using good engineering judgment and standards, such as ANSI 
B31.3.
    High throughput transfer rack means those transfer racks that 
transfer a total of 11.8 million liters per year or greater of liquid 
containing regulated material.
    Incinerator means an enclosed combustion device that is used for 
destroying organic compounds. Auxiliary fuel may be used to heat waste 
gas to combustion temperatures. Any energy recovery section present is 
not physically formed into one manufactured or assembled unit with the 
combustion section; rather, the energy recovery section is a separate 
section following the combustion section and the two are joined by ducts 
or connections carrying flue gas. The above energy recovery section 
limitation does not apply to an energy recovery section used solely to 
preheat the incoming vent stream or combustion air.
    Low throughput transfer rack means those transfer racks that 
transfer less than a total of 11.8 million liters per year of liquid 
containing regulated material.
    Operating parameter value means a minimum or maximum value 
established for a control device parameter which, if achieved by itself 
or in combination with one or more other operating parameter values, 
determines that an owner or operator has complied with an applicable 
emission limit or operating limit.

controls, or supervises a regulated source or a stationary source of 
which a regulated source is a part.
    Performance level means the level at which the regulated material in 
the gases or vapors vented to a control or recovery device is removed, 
recovered, or destroyed. Examples of control device performance levels 
include:

[[Page 388]]

achieving a minimum organic reduction efficiency expressed as a 
percentage of regulated material removed or destroyed in the control 
device inlet stream on a weight-basis; achieving an organic 
concentration in the control device exhaust stream that is less than a 
maximum allowable limit expressed in parts per million by volume on a 
dry basis corrected to 3 percent oxygen if a combustion device is the 
control device and supplemental combustion air is used to combust the 
emissions; or maintaining appropriate control device operating 
parameters indicative of the device performance at specified values.
    Performance test means the collection of data resulting from the 
execution of a test method (usually three emission test runs) used to 
demonstrate compliance with a relevant emission limit as specified in 
the performance test section of this subpart or in the referencing 
subpart.
    Primary fuel means the fuel that provides the principal heat input 
to a device. To be considered primary, the fuel must be able to sustain 
operation without the addition of other fuels.
    Process heater means an enclosed combustion device that transfers 
heat liberated by burning fuel directly to process streams or to heat 
transfer liquids other than water. A process heater may, as a secondary 
function, heat water in unfired heat recovery sections.
    Recapture device means an individual unit of equipment capable of 
and used for the purpose of recovering chemicals, but not normally for 
use, reuse, or sale. For example, a recapture device may recover

include absorbers, carbon adsorbers, condensers, oil-water separators or 
organic-water separators, or organic removal devices such as decanters, 
strippers, or thin-film evaporation units. For purposes of the 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of this subpart, 
recapture devices are considered recovery devices.
    Recovery operations equipment means the equipment used to separate 
the components of process streams. Recovery operations equipment 
includes distillation units, condensers, etc. Equipment used for 
wastewater treatment shall not be considered recovery operations 
equipment.
    Referencing subpart means the subpart which refers an owner or 
operator to this subpart.
    Regulated material, for purposes of this subpart, refers to vapors 
from volatile organic liquids (VOL), volatile organic compounds (VOC), 
or hazardous air pollutants (HAP), or other chemicals or groups of 
chemicals that are regulated by a referencing subpart.
    Regulated source for the purposes of this subpart, means the 
stationary source, the group of stationary sources, or the portion of a 
stationary source that is regulated by a relevant standard or other 
requirement established pursuant to a referencing subpart.
    Repaired, for the purposes of this subpart, means that equipment; is 
adjusted, or otherwise altered, to eliminate a leak as defined in the 
applicable sections of this subpart; and unless otherwise specified in 
applicable provisions of this subpart, is inspected as specified in 
Sec. 63.983(c) to verify that emissions from the equipment are below the 
applicable leak definition.

Sec. 63.983  Closed vent systems.

    (a) Closed vent system equipment and operating requirements. Except 
for closed vent systems operated and maintained under negative pressure, 
the provisions of this paragraph apply to closed vent systems collecting 
regulated material from a regulated source.
    (1) Collection of emissions. Each closed vent system shall be 
designed and operated to collect the regulated material vapors from the 
emission point, and to route the collected vapors to a control device.
    (2) Period of operation. Closed vent systems used to comply with the 
provisions of this subpart shall be operated at all times when emissions 
are vented to, or collected by, them.
    (3) Bypass monitoring. Except for equipment needed for safety 
purposes such as pressure relief devices, low leg drains, high point 
bleeds, analyzer vents, and open-ended valves or lines, the owner or 
operator shall comply with the provisions of either paragraphs (a)(3)(i) 
or (ii) of this section for

[[Page 391]]

each closed vent system that contains bypass lines that could divert a 
vent stream to the atmosphere.
    (i) Properly install, maintain, and operate a flow indicator that 
takes a reading at least once every 15 minutes. Records shall be 
generated as specified in Sec. 63.998(d)(1)(ii)(A). The flow indicator 
shall be installed at the entrance to any bypass line.
    (ii) Secure the bypass line valve in the non-diverting position with 
a car-seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. A visual inspection of

and the vent stream is not diverted through the bypass line. Records 
shall be generated as specified in Sec. 63.998(d)(1)(ii)(B).
    (4) Loading arms at transfer racks. Each closed vent system 
collecting regulated material from a transfer rack shall be designed and 
operated so that regulated material vapors collected at one loading arm 
will not pass through another loading arm in the rack to the atmosphere.
    (5) Pressure relief devices in a transfer rack's closed vent system. 
The owner or operator of a transfer rack subject to the provisions of 
this subpart shall ensure that no pressure relief device in the transfer 
rack's closed vent system shall open to the atmosphere during loading. 
Pressure relief devices needed for safety purposes are not subject to 
this paragraph.
    (b) Closed vent system inspection requirements. The provisions of 
this subpart apply to closed vent systems collecting regulated material 
from a regulated source. Inspection records shall be generated as 
specified in Sec. 63.998(d)(1)(iii) and (iv) of this section.
    (1) Except for any closed vent systems that are designated as unsafe 
or difficult to inspect as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of this 
section, each closed vent system shall be inspected as specified in 
paragraph (b)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section.
    (i) If the closed vent system is constructed of hard-piping, the 
owner or operator shall comply with the requirements specified in 
paragraphs (b)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of this section.
    (A) Conduct an initial inspection according to the procedures in 
paragraph (c) of this section; and
    (B) Conduct annual inspections for visible, audible, or olfactory 
indications of leaks.

    (2) Any parts of the closed vent system that are designated, as 
described in Sec. 63.998(d)(1)(i), as unsafe to inspect are exempt from 
the inspection requirements of paragraph (b)(1) of this section if the 
conditions of paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section are met.
    (i) The owner or operator determines that the equipment is unsafe-
to-inspect because inspecting personnel would be exposed to an imminent 
or potential danger as a consequence of complying with paragraph (b)(1) 
of this section; and
    (ii) The owner or operator has a written plan that requires 
inspection of the equipment as frequently as practical during safe-to-
inspect times. Inspection is not required more than once annually.
    (3) Any parts of the closed vent system that are designated, as 
described in Sec. 63.998(d)(1)(i), as difficult-to-inspect are exempt 
from the inspection requirements of paragraph (b)(1) of this section if 
the provisions of paragraphs (b)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section apply.
    (i) The owner or operator determines that the equipment cannot be 
inspected without elevating the inspecting personnel more than 2 meters 
(7 feet) above a support surface; and
    (ii) The owner or operator has a written plan that requires 
inspection of the equipment at least once every 5 years.
    (c) Closed vent system inspection procedures. The provisions of this 
paragraph apply to closed vent systems collecting regulated material 
from a regulated source.
    (1) Each closed vent system subject to this paragraph shall be 
inspected according to the procedures specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) 
through (vii) of this section.
    (i) Inspections shall be conducted in accordance with Method 21 of

[[Page 392]]

part 60, appendix A, except as specified in this section.
    (ii) Except as provided in (c)(1)(iii) of this section, the 
detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of Method 21 of 
40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response factor 
criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 must be for the representative 
composition of the process fluid and not of each individual VOC in the 
stream. For process streams that contain nitrogen, air, water, or other 
inerts that are not organic HAP or VOC, the representative stream 
response factor must be determined on an inert-free basis. The response 
factor may be determined at any concentration for which the monitoring 
for leaks will be conducted.
    (iii) If no instrument is available at the plant site that will meet 
the performance criteria of Method 21 specified in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) 
of this section, the instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying 
by the representative response factor of the process fluid, calculated 
on an inert-free basis as described in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this 
section.
    (iv) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A.
    (v) Calibration gases shall be as specified in paragraphs 
(c)(1)(v)(A) through (C) of this section.
    (A) Zero air (less than 10 parts per million hydrocarbon in air); 
and
    (B) Mixtures of methane in air at a concentration less than 10,000 
parts per million. A calibration gas other than methane in air may be 
used if the instrument does not respond to methane or if the instrument 
does not meet the performance criteria specified in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) 
of this section. In such cases, the calibration gas may be a mixture of 
one or more of the compounds to be measured in air.
    (C) If the detection instrument's design allows for multiple 
calibration scales, then the lower scale shall be calibrated with a 
calibration gas that is no higher than 2,500 parts per million.
    (vi) An owner or operator may elect to adjust or not adjust 
instrument readings for background. If an owner or operator elects not 
to adjust readings for background, all such instrument readings shall be 
compared directly to 500 parts per million to determine whether there is 
a leak. If an owner or operator elects to adjust instrument readings for 
background, the owner or operator shall measure background concentration 
using the procedures in this section. The owner or operator shall 
subtract the background reading from the maximum concentration indicated 
by the instrument.
    (vii) If the owner or operator elects to adjust for background, the 
arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration indicated by the 
instrument and the background level shall be compared with 500 parts per 
million for determining whether there is a leak.
    (2) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential 
leak interfaces as described in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (3) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(4) of this section, 
inspections shall be performed when the equipment is in regulated 
material service, or in use with any other detectable gas or vapor.
    (4) Inspections of the closed vent system collecting regulated 
material from a transfer rack shall be performed only while a tank truck 
or railcar is being loaded or is otherwise pressurized to normal 
operating conditions with regulated material or any other detectable gas 
or vapor.
    (d) Closed vent system leak repair provisions. The provisions of 
this paragraph apply to closed vent systems collecting regulated 
material from a regulated source.
    (1) If there are visible, audible, or olfactory indications of leaks 
at the time of the annual visual inspections required by paragraph 
(b)(1)(i)(B) of this section, the owner or operator shall follow the 
procedure specified in either paragraph (d)(1)(i) or (ii) of this 
section.
    (i) The owner or operator shall eliminate the leak.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall monitor the equipment according to 
the procedures in paragraph (c) of this section.
    (2) Leaks, as indicated by an instrument reading greater than 500 
parts per

[[Page 393]]

million by volume above background or by visual inspections, shall be 
repaired as soon as practical, except as provided in paragraph (d)(3) of 
this section. Records shall be generated as specified in 
Sec. 63.998(d)(1)(iii) when a leak is detected.
    (i) A first attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 days 
after the leak is detected.
    (ii) Except as provided in paragraph (d)(3) of this section, repairs 
shall be completed no later than 15 days after the leak is detected or 
at the beginning of the next introduction of vapors to the system, 
whichever is later.
    (3) Delay of repair of a closed vent system for which leaks have 
been detected is allowed if repair within 15 days after a leak is 
detected is technically infeasible or unsafe without a closed vent 
system shutdown, as defined in Sec. 63.981, or if the owner or operator 
determines that emissions resulting from immediate repair would be 
greater than the emissions likely to result from delay of repair. Repair 
of such equipment shall be completed as soon as practical, but not later 
than the end of the next closed vent system shutdown.

provisions in paragraphs (e)(1)(iv)(A) through (E) of this section.
    (A) Specifies or approves, in specific cases, the use of a test 
method with minor changes in methodology; or
    (B) Approves the use of an alternative test method, the results of 
which the Administrator has determined to be adequate for indicating 
whether a specific regulated source is in compliance. The alternate 
method or data shall be validated using the applicable procedures of 
Method 301 of appendix A of 40 CFR part 63; or
    (C) Approves shorter sampling times and smaller sample volumes when 
necessitated by process variables or other factors; or

paragraph (b)(2) of this section because the owner or operator of a 
regulated source has demonstrated by other means to the Administrator's 
satisfaction that the regulated source is in compliance with the 
relevant standard; or
    (E) Approves the use of an equivalent method.
    (v) Performance test runs. Except as provided in paragraphs 
(e)(1)(v)(A) and (B) of this section, each performance test shall

or conditions occur in which one of the three runs must be discontinued 
because of forced shutdown, failure of an irreplaceable portion of the 
sample train, extreme meteorological conditions, or other circumstances, 
beyond the owner or operator's control, compliance may, upon the 
Administrator's approval, be determined using the arithmetic mean of the 
results of the two other runs.
    (A) For control devices used to control emissions from transfer 
racks (except low throughput transfer racks that are capable of 
continuous vapor processing but do not handle continuous emissions or 
multiple loading arms of a transfer rack that load simultaneously), each 
run shall represent at least one complete tank truck or tank car loading 
period, during which regulated materials are loaded, and samples shall

transfer rack emissions (except low throughput transfer racks that do 
not handle continuous emissions or multiple loading arms of a transfer 
rack that load simultaneously), each run shall represent at least one 
complete control device cycle, and samples shall be collected using 
integrated sampling or grab samples taken at least four times per hour 
at approximately equal intervals of time, such as 15-minute intervals.

each measured value for systems which measure more frequently than once 
every 15 minutes; or
    (ii) A record of block average values for 15-minute or shorter 
periods calculated from all measured data values during each period or 
from at least one measured data value per minute if measured more 
frequently than once per minute.
    (iii) Where data is collected from an automated continuous parameter 
monitoring system, the owner or operator may calculate and retain block 
hourly average values from each 15-minute block average period or from 
at least one measured value per minute if measured more frequently than 
once per minute, and discard all but the most recent three valid hours 
of continuous (15-minute or shorter) records, if the hourly averages do 
not exclude periods of CPMS breakdown or malfunction. An automated CPMS 
records the measured data and calculates the hourly averages through the 
use of a computerized data acquisition system.
    (iv) A record as required by an alternative approved under a 
referencing subpart.
    (2) Excluded data. Monitoring data recorded during periods 
identified in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section shall 
not be included in any average computed to determine compliance with an 
emission limit in a referencing subpart.
    (i) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, preventive maintenance, 
calibration checks, and zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
    (ii) Periods of non-operation of the process unit (or portion 
thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the 
monitoring applies; and
    (iii) Start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions, if the owner or 
operator follows the applicable provisions of the start-up, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan required by a referencing subpart and maintains the 
records specified in paragraph (d)(3) of this section.
    (3) Records of daily averages. In addition to the records specified 
in paragraph (a), owners or operators shall keep records as specified in 
paragraphs (b)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section and submit reports as 
specified in Sec. 63.999(c), unless an alternative recordkeeping system 
has been requested and approved under a referencing subpart.
    (i) Except as specified in paragraph (b)(3)(ii) of this section, 
daily average values of each continuously monitored parameter shall be 
calculated from data meeting the specifications of paragraph (b)(2) of 
this section for each operating day and retained for 5 years.
    (A) The daily average shall be calculated as the average of all 
values for a monitored parameter recorded during the operating day. The 
average shall cover a 24-hour period if operation is

[[Page 412]]

continuous, or the period of operation per operating day if operation is 
not continuous (e.g., for transfer racks the average shall cover periods 
of loading). If values are measured more frequently than once per 
minute, a single value for each minute may be used to calculate the 
daily average instead of all measured values.
    (B) The operating day shall be the period defined in the operating 
permit or in the Notification of Compliance Status. It may be from 
midnight to midnight or another daily period.
    (ii) If all recorded values for a monitored parameter during an 
operating day are within the range established in the Notification of 
Compliance Status or in the operating permit, the owner or operator may 
record that all values were within the range and retain this record for 
5 years rather than calculating and recording a daily average for that 
operating day. In such cases, the owner or operator may not discard the 
recorded values as allowed in paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section.
    (4) [Reserved]
    (5) Alternative recordkeeping. For any parameter with respect to any 
item of equipment associated with a process vent or transfer rack 
(except low throughput transfer loading racks), the owner or operator 
may implement the recordkeeping requirements in paragraphs (b)(5)(i) or 
(ii) of this section as alternatives to the recordkeeping provisions 
listed in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this section. The owner or 
operator shall retain each record required by paragraphs (b)(5)(i) or 
(ii) of this section as provided in a referencing subpart.
    (i) The owner or operator may retain only the daily average value, 
and is not required to retain more frequently monitored operating 
parameter values, for a monitored parameter with respect to an item of 
equipment, if the requirements of paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(A) through (F) of 
this section are met. The owner or operator shall notify the 
Administrator in the Notification of Compliance Status as specified in 
Sec. 63.999(b)(5) or, if the Notification of Compliance Status has 
already been submitted, in the Periodic Report immediately preceding 
implementation of the requirements of this paragraph, as specified in 
Sec. 63.999(c)(6)(iv).
    (A) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unrealistic or 
impossible data during periods of operation other than start-ups, 
shutdowns or malfunctions (e.g., a temperature reading of -200 deg. C on 
a boiler), and will alert the operator by alarm or other means. The 
owner or operator shall record the occurrence. All instances of the 
alarm or other alert in an operating day constitute a single occurrence.
    (B) The monitoring system generates a running average of the 
monitoring values, updated at least hourly throughout each operating 
day, that have been obtained during that operating day, and the 
capability to observe this average is readily available to the 
Administrator on-site during the operating day. The owner or operator 
shall record the occurrence of any period meeting the criteria in 
paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(B)(1) through (3) of this section. All instances in 
an operating day constitute a single occurrence.
    (1) The running average is above the maximum or below the minimum 
established limits;
    (2) The running average is based on at least six one-hour average 
values; and
    (3) The running average reflects a period of operation other than a 
start-up, shutdown, or malfunction.
    (C) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unchanging data 
during periods of operation other than start-ups, shutdowns or 
malfunctions, except in circumstances where the presence of unchanging 
data is the expected operating condition based on past experience (e.g., 
pH in some scrubbers), and will alert the operator by alarm or other 
means. The owner or operator shall record the occurrence. All instances 
of the alarm or other alert in an operating day constitute a single 
occurrence.
    (D) The monitoring system will alert the owner or operator by an 
alarm, if the running average parameter value calculated under paragraph 
(b)(5)(i)(B) of this section reaches a set point that is appropriately 
related to the established limit for the parameter that is being 
monitored.

[[Page 413]]

    (E) The owner or operator shall verify the proper functioning of the 
monitoring system, including its ability to comply with the requirements 
of paragraph (b)(5)(i) of this section, at the times specified in 
paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(E)(1) through (3) of this section. The owner or 
operator shall document that the required verifications occurred.
    (1) Upon initial installation.
    (2) Annually after initial installation.
    (3) After any change to the programming or equipment constituting 
the monitoring system that might reasonably be expected to alter the 
monitoring system's ability to comply with the requirements of this 
section.
    (F) The owner or operator shall retain the records identified in 
paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(F)(1) through (4) of this section.
    (1) Identification of each parameter, for each item of equipment, 
for which the owner or operator has elected to comply with the 
requirements of paragraph (b)(5)(i) of this section.
    (2) A description of the applicable monitoring system(s), and of how 
compliance will be achieved with each requirement of paragraph 
(b)(5)(i)(A) through (E) of this section. The description shall identify 
the location and format (e.g., on-line storage; log entries) for each 
required record. If the description changes, the owner or operator shall 
retain both the current and the most recent superseded description. The 
description, and the most recent superseded description, shall be 
retained as provided in the subpart that references this subpart, except 
as provided in paragraph (b)(5)(i)(F)(1) of this section.
    (3) A description, and the date, of any change to the monitoring 
system that would reasonably be expected to affect its ability to comply 
with the requirements of paragraph (b)(5)(i) of this section.
    (4) Owners and operators subject to paragraph (b)(5)(i)(F)(2) of 
this section shall retain the current description of the monitoring 
system as long as the description is current, but not less than 5 years 
from the date of its creation. The current description shall be retained 
on-site at all times or be accessible from a central location by 
computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours after a 
request. The owner or operator shall retain the most recent superseded 
description at least until 5 years from the date of its creation. The 
superseded description shall be retained on-site (or accessible from a 
central location by computer that provides access within 2 hours after a 
request) at least 6 months after being superseded. Thereafter, the 
superseded description may be stored off-site.
    (ii) If an owner or operator has elected to implement the 
requirements of paragraph (b)(5)(i) of this section, and a period of 6 
consecutive months has passed without an excursion as defined in 
paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this section, the owner or operator is no longer 
required to record the daily average value for that parameter for that 
unit of equipment, for any operating day when the daily average value is 
less than the maximum, or greater than the minimum established limit. 
With approval by the Administrator, monitoring data generated prior to 
the compliance date of this subpart shall be credited toward the period 
of 6 consecutive months, if the parameter limit and the monitoring were 
required and/or approved by the Administrator.
    (A) If the owner or operator elects not to retain the daily average 
values, the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator in the next 
Periodic Report, as specified in Sec. 63.999(c)(6)(i). The notification 
shall identify the parameter and unit of equipment.
    (B) If there is an excursion as defined in paragraph (b)(6)(i) of 
this section on any operating day after the owner or operator has ceased 
recording daily averages as provided in paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall immediately resume retaining the 
daily average value for each operating day, and shall notify the 
Administrator in the next Periodic Report, as specified in 
Sec. 63.999(c). The owner or operator shall continue to retain each 
daily average value until another period of 6 consecutive months has 
passed without an excursion as defined in paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this 
section.

[[Page 414]]

    (C) The owner or operator shall retain the records specified in 
paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(A) through (F) of this section for the duration 
specified in a referencing subpart. For any week, if compliance with 
paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(A) through (D) of this section does not result in 
retention of a record of at least one occurrence or measured parameter 
value, the owner or operator shall record and retain at least one 
parameter value during a period of operation other than a start-up, 
shutdown, or malfunction.
    (6)(i) For the purposes of this section, an excursion means that the 
daily average value of monitoring data for a parameter is greater than 
the maximum, or less than the minimum established value, except as 
provided in paragraphs (b)(6)(i)(A) and (B) of this section.
    (A) The daily average value during any start-up, shutdown or 
malfunction shall not be considered an excursion if the owner or 
operator follows the applicable provisions of the start-up, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan required by a referencing subpart and maintains the 
records specified in paragraph (d)(3) of this section.
    (B) An excused excursion, as described in paragraph (b)(6)(ii), does 
not count toward the number of excursions for the purposes of this 
subpart.
    (ii) One excused excursion for each control device or recovery 
device for each semiannual period is allowed. If a source has developed 
a start-up, shutdown and malfunction plan, and a monitored parameter is 
outside its established range or monitoring data are not collected 
during periods of start-up, shutdown, or malfunction (and the source is 
operated during such periods in accordance with the start-up, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan) or during periods of nonoperation of the process 
unit or portion thereof (resulting in cessation of the emissions to 
which monitoring applies), then the excursion is not a violation and, in 
cases where continuous monitoring is required, the excursion does not 
count as the excused excursion for determining compliance.
    (c) Nonflare control and recovery device regulated source monitoring 
records. (1) Monitoring system records. For process vents and high 
throughput transfer racks, the owner or operator subject to this subpart 
shall keep the records specified in this paragraph, as well as records 
specified elsewhere in this subpart.
    (i) For a CPMS used to comply with this part, a record of the 
procedure used for calibrating the CPMS.

information specified in paragraphs (c)(ii)(A) through (H) of this 
section, as indicated in a referencing subpart.
    (A) The date and time of completion of calibration and preventive 
maintenance of the CPMS.
    (B) The ``as found'' and ``as left'' CPMS readings, whenever an 
adjustment is made that affects the CPMS reading and a ``no adjustment'' 
statement otherwise.
    (C) The start time and duration or start and stop times of any 
periods when the CPMS is inoperative.
    (D) Records of the occurrence and duration of each start-up, 
shutdown, and malfunction of CPMS used to comply with this subpart 
during which excess emissions (as defined in a referencing subpart) 
occur.
    (E) For each start-up, shutdown, and malfunction during which excess 
emissions as defined in a referencing subpart occur, records whether the 
procedures specified in the source's start-up, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan were followed, and documentation of actions taken that are not 
consistent with the plan. These records may take the form of a 
``checklist,'' or other form of recordkeeping that confirms conformance 
with the start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan for the event.
    (F) Records documenting each start-up, shutdown, and malfunction 
event.
    (G) Records of CPMS start-up, shutdown, and malfunction event that 
specify that there were no excess emissions during the event, as 
applicable.
    (H) Records of the total duration of operating time.
    (2) Combustion control and halogen reduction device monitoring 
records. (i) Each owner or operator using a combustion control or 
halogen reduction device to comply with this subpart shall keep the 
following records up-to-

[[Page 415]]

date and readily accessible, as applicable. Continuous records of the 
equipment operating parameters specified to be monitored under 
Secs. 63.988(c) (incinerator, boiler, and process heater monitoring), 
63.994(c) (halogen reduction device monitoring), and 63.995(c) (other 
combustion systems used as control device monitoring) or approved by the 
Administrator in accordance with a referencing subpart.
    (ii) Each owner or operator shall keep records of the daily average 
value of each continuously monitored parameter for each operating day 
determined according to the procedures specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i) 
of this section. For catalytic incinerators, record the daily average of 
the temperature upstream of the catalyst bed and the daily average of 
the temperature differential across the bed. For halogen scrubbers 
record the daily average pH and the liquid-to-gas ratio.
    (iii) Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this 
subpart shall keep up-to-date, readily accessible records of periods of 
operation during which the parameter boundaries are exceeded. The 
parameter boundaries are established pursuant to Sec. 63.996(c)(6).
    (3) Monitoring records for recovery devices, absorbers, condensers, 
carbon adsorbers or other noncombustion systems used as control devices. 
(i) Each owner or operator using a recovery device to achieve and 
maintain a TRE index value greater than the control applicability level 
specified in the referencing subpart but less than 4.0 or using an 
absorber, condenser, carbon adsorber or other non-combustion system as a 
control device shall keep readily accessible, continuous records of the 
equipment operating parameters specified to be monitored under 
Secs. 63.990(c) (absorber, condenser, and carbon adsorber monitoring), 
63.993(c) (recovery device monitoring), or 63.995(c) (other 
noncombustion systems used as a control device monitoring) or as 
approved by the Administrator in accordance with a referencing subpart. 
For transfer racks, continuous records are required while the transfer 
vent stream is being vented.
    (ii) Each owner or operator shall keep records of the daily average 
value of each continuously monitored parameter for each operating day 
determined according to the procedures specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i) 
of this section. If carbon adsorber regeneration stream flow and carbon 
bed regeneration temperature are monitored, the records specified in 
paragraphs (c)(3)(ii)(A) and (B) of this section shall be kept instead 
of the daily averages.
    (A) Records of total regeneration stream mass or volumetric flow for 
each carbon-bed regeneration cycle.
    (B) Records of the temperature of the carbon bed after each 
regeneration and within 15 minutes of completing any cooling cycle.
    (iii) Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this 
subpart shall keep up-to-date, readily accessible records of periods of 
operation during which the parameter boundaries are exceeded. The 
parameter boundaries are established pursuant to Sec. 63.996(c)(6).
    (d) Other records. (1) Closed vent system records. For closed vent 
systems the owner or operator shall record the information specified in 
paragraphs (d)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section, as applicable.
    (i) For closed vent systems collecting regulated material from a 
regulated source, the owner or operator shall record the identification 
of all parts of the closed vent system, that are designated as unsafe or 
difficult to inspect, an explanation of why the equipment is unsafe or 
difficult to inspect, and the plan for inspecting the equipment required 
by Sec. 63.983(b)(2)(ii) or (iii) of this section.
    (ii) For each closed vent system that contains bypass lines that 
could divert a vent stream away from the control device and to the 
atmosphere, the owner or operator shall keep a record of the information 
specified in either paragraph (d)(1)(ii)(A) or (B) of this section, as 
applicable.
    (A) Hourly records of whether the flow indicator specified under 
Sec. 63.983(a)(3)(i) was operating and whether a diversion was detected 
at any time during the hour, as well as records of the times of all 
periods when the vent stream is diverted from the control device or the 
flow indicator is not operating.
    (B) Where a seal mechanism is used to comply with 
Sec. 63.983(a)(3)(ii), hourly

[[Page 416]]

records of flow are not required. In such cases, the owner or operator 
shall record that the monthly visual inspection of the seals or closure 
mechanisms has been done, and shall record the occurrence of all periods 
when the seal mechanism is broken, the bypass line valve position has 
changed, or the key for a lock-and-key type lock has been checked out, 
and records of any car-seal that has been broken.
    (iii) For a closed vent system collecting regulated material from a 
regulated source, when a leak is detected as specified in 
Sec. 63.983(d)(2), the information specified in paragraphs 
(d)(1)(iii)(A) through (F) of this section shall be recorded and kept 
for 5 years.

to repair the leak.
    (C) The date of successful repair of the leak.
    (D) The maximum instrument reading measured by the procedures in 
Sec. 63.983(c) after the leak is successfully repaired or determined to 
be nonrepairable.
    (E) ``Repair delayed'' and the reason for the delay if a leak is not 
repaired within 15 days after discovery of the leak. The owner or 
operator may develop a written procedure that identifies the conditions 
that justify a delay of repair. In such cases, reasons for delay of 
repair may be documented by citing the relevant sections of the written 
procedure.
    (F) Copies of the Periodic Reports as specified in Sec. 63.999(c), 
if records are not maintained on a computerized database capable of 
generating summary reports from the records.
    (iv) For each instrumental or visual inspection conducted in 
accordance with Sec. 63.983(b)(1) for closed vent systems collecting 
regulated material from a regulated source during which no leaks are 
detected, the owner or operator shall record that the inspection was 
performed, the date of the inspection, and a statement that no leaks 
were detected.
    (2) Storage vessel and transfer rack records. An owner or operator 
shall keep readily accessible records of the information specified in 
paragraphs (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section, as applicable.
    (i) A record of the measured values of the parameters monitored in 
accordance with Sec. 63.985(c) or Sec. 63.987(c).
    (ii) A record of the planned routine maintenance performed on the 
control system during which the control system does not meet the 
applicable specifications of Secs. 63.983(a), 63.985(a), or 63.987(a), 
as applicable, due to the planned routine maintenance. Such a record 
shall include the information specified in paragraphs (d)(2)(ii)(A) 
through (C) of this section. This information shall be submitted in the 
Periodic Reports as specified in Sec. 63.999(c)(4).
    (A) The first time of day and date the requirements of 
Secs. 63.983(a), Sec. 63.985(a), or Sec. 63.987(a), as applicable, were 
not met at the beginning of the planned routine maintenance, and
    (B) The first time of day and date the requirements of 
Secs. 63.983(a), 63.985(a), or 63.987(a), as applicable, were met at the 
conclusion of the planned routine maintenance.
    (C) A description of the type of maintenance performed.
    (3) Regulated source and control equipment start-up, shutdown and 
malfunction records. (i) Records of the occurrence and duration of each 
start-up, shutdown, and malfunction of operation of process equipment or 
of air pollution control equipment used to comply with this part during 
which excess emissions (as defined in a referencing subpart) occur.
    (ii) For each start-up, shutdown, and malfunction during which 
excess emissions occur, records that the procedures specified in the 
source's start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan were followed, and 
documentation of actions taken that are not consistent with the plan. 
For example, if a start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan includes 
procedures for routing control device emissions to a backup control 
device (e.g., the incinerator for a halogenated stream could be routed 
to a flare during periods when the primary control device is out of 
service), records must be kept of whether the plan was followed. These 
records may take the

[[Page 417]]

form of a ``checklist,'' or other form of recordkeeping that confirms 
conformance with the start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan for the 
event.
    (4) Equipment leak records. The owner or operator shall maintain 
records of the information specified in paragraphs (d)(4)(i) and (ii) of

operated and maintained in conformance with their design and an 
explanation of why that parameter (or parameters) was selected for the 
monitoring.
    (ii) Records of operation of closed vent systems and control 
devices, as specified in paragraphs (d)(4)(ii)(A) through (C) of this 
section.
    (A) Dates and durations when the closed vent systems and control 
devices required are not operated as designed as indicated by the 
monitored parameters.
    (B) Dates and durations during which the monitoring system or 
monitoring device is inoperative.
    (C) Dates and durations of start-ups and shutdowns of control 
devices required in this subpart.
    (5) Records of monitored parameters outside of range. The owner or 
operator shall record the occurrences and the cause of periods when the 
monitored parameters are outside of the parameter ranges documented in

Sec. 63.999  Notifications and other reports.

    (a) Performance test and flare compliance assessment notifications 
and reports. (1) General requirements. General requirements for 
performance test and flare compliance assessment notifications and 
reports are specified in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (iii) of this 
section.
    (i) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator of the 
intention to conduct a performance test or flare compliance assessment 
at least 30 days before such a compliance demonstration is scheduled to 
allow the Administrator the opportunity to have an observer present. If 
after 30 days notice for such an initially scheduled compliance 
demonstration, there is a delay (due to operational problems, etc.) in 
conducting the scheduled compliance demonstration, the owner or operator 
of an affected facility shall notify the Administrator as soon as 
possible of any delay in the original demonstration date. The owner or 
operator shall provide at least 7 days prior notice of the rescheduled 
date of the compliance demonstration, or arrange a rescheduled date with 
the Administrator by mutual agreement.
    (ii) Unless specified differently in this subpart or a referencing 
subpart, performance test and flare compliance assessment reports, not 
submitted as part of a Notification of Compliance Status report, shall 
be submitted to the Administrator within 60 days of completing the test 
or determination.
    (iii) Any application for a waiver of an initial performance test or 
flare compliance assessment, as allowed by Sec. 63.997(b)(2), shall be 
submitted no later than 90 days before the performance test or 
compliance assessment is required. The application for a waiver shall 
include information justifying the owner or operator's request for a 
waiver, such as the technical or economic infeasibility, or the 
impracticality, of the source performing the test.

[[Page 418]]

    (iv) Any application to substitute a prior performance test or 
compliance assessment for an initial performance test or compliance 
assessment, as allowed by Sec. 63.997(b)(1), shall be submitted no later

for which the owner or operator is not required, by the applicable 
monitoring plan established under Sec. 63.985(c)(1), to keep continuous 
records. If continuous records are required, the owner or operator shall 
specify in the monitoring plan whether the provisions of paragraphs 
(c)(6)(i) and (c)(6)(ii) of this section apply.
    (iv) If the owner or operator has chosen to use the alternative 
recordkeeping requirements of Sec. 63.998(b)(5), and has not notified 
the Administrator in the Notification of Compliance Status that the 
alternative recordkeeping provisions are being implemented as specified 
in paragraph (b)(5) of this section, the owner or operator shall notify 
the Administrator in the Periodic Report submitted immediately preceding 
implementation of the alternative. The notifications specified in

connector, and instrumentation system in regulated material service; and 
any control devices or systems used to comply with this subpart.
    First attempt at repair, for the purposes of this subpart, means to 
take action for the purpose of stopping or reducing leakage of organic 
material to the atmosphere, followed by monitoring as specified in 
Sec. 63.1004(b) and, as applicable, in Sec. 63.1004(c), as appropriate, 
to verify whether the leak is repaired, unless the owner or operator 
determines by other means that the leak is not repaired.
    Fuel gas means gases that are combusted to derive useful work or 
heat.
    Fuel gas system means the offsite and onsite piping and flow and 
pressure control system that gathers gaseous stream(s) generated by 
onsite operations, may blend them with other sources of gas, and 
transports the gaseous stream for use as a fuel gas in combustion 
equipment, such as furnaces and gas turbines, either singly or in 
combination.
    In gas or vapor service means that a piece of equipment in regulated 
material service contains a gas or vapor at operating conditions.
    In heavy liquid service means that a piece of equipment in regulated 
material is not in gas or vapor service or in light liquid service.
    In light liquid service means that a piece of equipment in 
regulated-material service contains a liquid that meets the following 
conditions:
    (1) The vapor pressure of one or more of the organic compounds is 
greater than 0.3 kilopascals at 20 deg. C,
    (2) The total concentration of the pure organic compounds 
constituents having a vapor pressure greater than 0.3 kilopascals at 
20 deg. C is equal to or greater than 20 percent by weight of the total

may be determined by standard reference texts or ASTM D-2879.)

    In liquid service means that a piece of equipment in regulated 
material service is not in gas or vapor service.
    In organic hazardous air pollutant or in organic HAP service means 
that a piece of equipment either contains or contracts a fluid (liquid 
or gas) that is at least 5 percent by weight of total organic HAP's as 
determined according to the provisions of Sec. 63.180(d) of subpart H. 
The provisions of Sec. 63.180(d) of Subpart H also specify how to 
determine that a piece of equipment is not in organic HAP service.
    In regulated material service means, for the purposes of this 
subpart, equipment which meets the definition of ``in VOC service'', 
``in VHAP service'', ``in organic hazardous air pollutant service,'' or 
``in other chemicals or groups of chemicals service'' as defined in the 
referencing subpart.

[[Page 424]]

    In-situ sampling systems means nonextractive samplers or in-line 
samplers.
    In vacuum service means that equipment is operating at an internal 
pressure which is at least 5 kilopascals below ambient pressure.
    Initial startup means for new sources, the first time the source 
begins production. For additions or changes not defined as a new source 
by this subpart, initial startup means the first time additional or 
changed equipment is put into operation. Initial startup does not 
include operation solely for testing of equipment. Initial startup does 
not include subsequent startup of process units following malfunction or 
process unit shutdowns. Except for equipment leaks, initial startup also 
does not include subsequent startups (of process units following changes 
in product for flexible operation units or following recharging of 
equipment in batch unit operations).
    Instrumentation system means a group of equipment components used to 
condition and convey a sample of the process fluid to analyzers and 
instruments for the purpose of determining process operating conditions 
(e.g., composition, pressure, flow, etc.). Valves and connectors are the 
predominant type of equipment used in instrumentation systems; however, 
other types of equipment may also be included in these systems. Only 
valves nominally 1.27 centimeters (0.5 inches) and smaller, and 
connectors nominally 1.91 centimeters (0.75 inches) and smaller in 
diameter are considered instrumentation systems for the purposes of this 
subpart. Valves greater than nominally 1.27 centimeters (0.5 inches) and 
connectors greater than nominally 1.91 centimeters (0.75 inches) 
associated with instrumentation systems are not considered part of 
instrumentation systems and must be monitored individually.
    Liquids dripping means any visible leakage from the seal including 
dripping, spraying, misting, clouding, and ice formation. Indications of 
liquids dripping include puddling or new stains that are indicative of 
an existing evaporated drip.
    Nonrepairable means that it is technically infeasible to repair a 
piece of equipment from which a leak has been detected without a process 
unit or affected facility shutdown.
    Open-ended valve or line means any valve, except relief valves, 
having one side of the valve seat in contact with process fluid and one 
side open to atmosphere, either directly or through open piping.
    Organic monitoring device means a unit of equipment used to indicate 
the concentration level of organic compounds based on a detection 
principle such as infra-red, photo ionization, or thermal conductivity.
    Pressure release means the emission of materials resulting from the 
system pressure being greater than the set pressure of the relief 
device. This release can be one release or a series of releases over a 
short time period due to a malfunction in the process.
    Pressure relief device or valve means a safety device used to 
prevent operating pressures from exceeding the maximum allowable working 
pressure of the process equipment. A common pressure relief device is a 
spring-loaded pressure relief valve. Devices that are actuated either by 
a pressure of less than or equal to 2.5 pounds per square inch gauge or 
by a vacuum are not pressure relief devices.
    Process unit means the equipment specified in the definitions of 
process unit in the applicable referencing subpart. If the referencing 
subpart does not define process unit, then for the purposes of this 
part, process unit means the equipment assembled and connected by pipes 
or ducts to process raw materials and to manufacture an intended 
product.
    Process unit shutdown means a work practice or operational procedure 
that stops production from a process unit, or part of a process unit 
during which it is technically feasible to clear process material from a 
process unit, or part of a process unit, consistent with safety 
constraints and during which repairs can be affected. The following are 
not considered process unit shutdowns:
    (1) An unscheduled work practice or operations procedure that stops 
production from a process unit, or part of a process unit, for less than 
24 hours.
    (2) An unscheduled work practice or operations procedure that would 
stop

[[Page 425]]

production from a process unit, or part of a process unit, for a shorter 
period of time than would be required to clear the process unit, or part 
of the process unit, of materials and start up the unit, and would 
result in greater emissions than delay of repair of leaking components 
until the next scheduled process unit shutdown.
    (3) The use of spare equipment and technically feasible bypassing of 
equipment without stopping production.
    Referencing subpart means the subpart which refers an owner or 
operator to this subpart.
    Regulated material, for purposes of this subpart, refers to gases 
from volatile organic liquids (VOL), volatile organic compounds (VOC), 
hazardous air pollutants (HAP), or other chemicals or groups of 
chemicals that are regulated by the referencing subpart.
    Regulated source for the purposes of this subpart, means the 
stationary source, the group of stationary sources, or the portion of a 
stationary source that is regulated by a referencing subpart.
    Relief device or valve means a valve used only to release an 
unplanned, nonroutine discharge. A relief valve discharge can result 
from an operator error, a malfunction such as a power failure or 
equipment failure, or other unexpected cause that requires immediate 
venting of gas from process equipment in order to avoid safety hazards 
or equipment damage.
    Repaired, for the purposes of this subpart means the following:
    (1) Equipment is adjusted, or otherwise altered, to eliminate a leak 
as defined in the applicable sections of this subpart, and
    (2) Equipment, unless otherwise specified in applicable provisions 
of this subpart, is monitored as specified in Sec. 63.1004(b) and, as 
applicable in Secs. 63.1004(c) and 63.1015 of this part as appropriate, 
to verify that emissions from the equipment are below the applicable 
leak definition.
    Routed to a process or route to a process means the emissions are 
conveyed to any enclosed portion of a process unit where the emissions 
are predominantly recycled and/or consumed in the same manner as a 
material that fulfills the same function in the process and/or 
transformed by chemical reaction into materials that are not regulated 
materials and/or incorporated into a product; and /or recovered.
    Sampling connection system means an assembly of equipment within a 
process unit or affected facility used during periods of representative 
operation to take samples of the process fluid. Equipment used to take 
nonroutine grab samples is not considered a sampling connection system.
    Screwed (threaded) connector means a threaded pipe fitting where the 
threads are cut on the pipe wall and the fitting requires only two 
pieces to make the connection (i.e., the pipe and the fitting).
    Sensor means a device that measures a physical quantity or the 
change in a physical quantity, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, 
pH, or liquid level.
    Set pressure means the pressure at which a properly operating 
pressure relief device begins to open to relieve atypical process system 
operating pressure.
    Start-up means the setting into operation of a piece of equipment or 
a control device that is subject to this subpart.

    (iv) The Administrator may condition the permission on requirements 
that may be necessary to ensure operation and maintenance to achieve the 
same or greater emission reduction as the required work practices of 
this subpart.
    (5) An owner or operator may offer a unique approach to demonstrate 
the alternative means of emission limitation.
    (6) If, in the judgement of the Administrator, an alternative means 
of emission limitation will be approved, the Administrator will publish 
a notice of the determination in the Federal Register.
    (7)(i) Manufacturers of equipment used to control equipment leaks of 
a regulated material may apply to the Administrator for permission for 
an alternative means of emission limitation that achieves a reduction in 
emissions of the regulated material achieved by the equipment, design,

Sec. 63.1004  Instrument and sensory monitoring for leaks.

    (a) Monitoring for leaks. The owner or operator of a regulated 
source subject to this subpart shall monitor all regulated equipment as 
specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section for instrument monitoring 
and paragraph (a)(2) of this section for sensory monitoring.
    (1) Instrument monitoring for leaks. (i) Valves in gas and vapor 
service and in light liquid service shall be monitored pursuant to 
Sec. 63.1006(b).
    (ii) Pumps in light liquid service shall be monitored pursuant to 
Sec. 63.1007(b).
    (iii) Connectors in gas and vapor service and in light liquid 
service shall be monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1008(b).
    (iv) Agitators in gas and vapor service and in light liquid service 
shall be monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1009(b).
    (v) Pressure relief devices in gas and vapor service shall be 
monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1011(c).
    (vi) Compressors designated to operate with an instrument reading 
less than 500 parts per million as described in Sec. 63.1003(e), shall 
be monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1012(f).
    (2) Sensory monitoring for leaks. (i) Pumps in light liquid service 
shall be observed pursuant to Sec. 63.1007(b)(3) and (e)(1)(v).
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (iii) Agitators in gas and vapor service and in light liquid service 
shall be observed pursuant to Sec. 63.1009(b)(3) or (e)(1)(iv).
    (iv) [Reserved]
    (b) Instrument monitoring methods. Instrument monitoring, as 
required under this subpart, shall comply with the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(6) of this section.
    (1) Monitoring method. Monitoring shall comply with Method 21 of 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (2) Detection instrument performance criteria. (i) Except as 
provided for in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the detection 
instrument shall meet the performance criteria of Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response factor criteria in 
section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the representative 
composition of the process fluid, and not for each individual HAP, VOC 
or other regulated material individual chemical compound in the stream. 
For process streams that contain nitrogen, air, water, or other inerts 
that are not regulated materials, the representative stream response 
factor shall be calculated on an inert-free basis. The response factor 
may be determined at

[[Page 429]]

any concentration for which monitoring for leaks will be conducted.
    (ii) If there is no instrument commercially available that will meet 
the performance criteria specified in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this 
section, the instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying by the 
representative response factor of the process fluid, calculated on an 
inert-free basis as described in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section.
    (3) Detection instrument calibration procedure. The detection 
instrument shall be calibrated before use on each day of its use by the 
procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (4) Detection instrument calibration gas. Calibration gases shall be 
zero air (less than 10 parts per million of hydrocarbon in air); and a 
mixture of methane in air at a concentration of approximately, but less 
than, 10,000 parts per million; or a mixture of n-hexane in air at a 
concentration of approximately, but less than, 10,000 parts per million. 
A calibration gas other than methane in air or n-hexane in air may be 
used if the instrument does not respond to methane or n-hexane or if the 
instrument does not meet the performance criteria specified in paragraph 
(b)(2)(i) of this section. In such cases, the calibration gas may be a 
mixture of one or more compounds to be measured in air.
    (5) Monitoring performance. Monitoring shall be performed when the 
equipment is in regulated material service or is in use with any other 
detectable material.
    (6) Monitoring data. Monitoring data obtained prior to the regulated 
source becoming subject to the referencing subpart that do not meet the 
criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section 
may still be used to initially qualify for less frequent monitoring 
under the provisions in Sec. 63.1006(a)(2), (b)(3) or (b)(4) for valves 
provided the departures from the criteria specified or from the 
specified monitoring frequency of Sec. 63.1006(b)(3) are minor and do 
not significantly affect the quality of the data. Examples of minor 
departures are monitoring at a slightly different frequency (such as 
every six weeks instead of monthly or quarterly), following the 
performance criteria of section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 of Appendix A of 
40 CFR part 60 instead of paragraph (b)(2) of this section, or 
monitoring at a different leak definition if the data would indicate the 
presence or absence of a leak at the concentration specified in the 
referencing subpart. Failure to use a calibrated instrument is not 
considered a minor departure.
    (c) Instrument monitoring using background adjustments. The owner or 
operator may elect to adjust or not to adjust the instrument readings 
for background. If an owner or operator elects not to adjust instrument 
readings for background, the owner or operator shall monitor the 
equipment according to the procedures specified in paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (b)(5) of this section. In such case, all instrument readings 
shall be compared directly to the applicable leak definition for the 
monitored equipment to determine whether there is a leak or to determine 
compliance with Sec. 63.1011(b) (pressure relief devices in gas and 
vapor service) or Sec. 63.1012(f) (compressors). If an owner or operator 
elects to adjust instrument readings for background, the owner or 
operator shall monitor the equipment according to the procedures 
specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section.
    (1) The requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this 
section shall apply.
    (2) The background level shall be determined, using the procedures 
in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (3) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential 
leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible (as described in 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A).
    (4) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration 
indicated by the instrument and the background level shall be compared 
to the applicable leak definitions for the monitored equipment to 
determine whether there is a leak or to determine compliance with 
Sec. 63.1011(b) (pressure relief devices in gas and vapor service) or 
Sec. 63.1012(f) (compressors).
    (d) Sensory monitoring methods. Sensory monitoring, as required 
under this

[[Page 430]]

subpart, shall consist of detection of a potential leak to the 
atmosphere by visual, audible, olfactory, or any other detection method.
    (e) Leaking equipment identification and records. (1) When each leak 
is detected pursuant to the monitoring specified in paragraph (a) of 
this section, a weatherproof and readily visible identification, marked 
with the equipment identification, shall be attached to the leaking 
equipment.
    (2) When each leak is detected, the information specified in 
Sec. 63.1005(e) shall be recorded and kept pursuant to the referencing 
subpart.

    (a) Leak repair schedule. The owner or operator shall repair each 
leak detected no later than 15 calendar days after it is detected, 
except as provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section. A first 
attempt at repair shall be made no later than 5 calendar days after the 
leak is detected. First attempt at repair for pumps includes, but is not 
limited to, tightening the packing gland nuts and/or ensuring that the 
seal flush is operating at design pressure and temperature. First 
attempt at repair for valves includes, but is not limited to, tightening 
the bonnet bolts, and/or replacing the bonnet bolts, and/or tightening 
the packing gland nuts, and/or injecting lubricant into the lubricated 
packing.
    (b) Leak identification removal. (1) Valves in gas/vapor and light 
liquid service. The leak identification on a valve in gas/vapor or light 
liquid service may be removed after it has been monitored as specified 
in Sec. 63.1006(b), and no leak has been detected during that 
monitoring. The leak identification on a connector in gas/vapor or light 
liquid service may be removed after it has been monitored as specified 
in Sec. 63.1008(b) and no leak has been detected during that monitoring.
    (2) Other equipment. The identification that has been placed, 
pursuant to Sec. 63.1004(e), on equipment determined to have a leak, 
except for a valve in gas/vapor or light liquid service, may be removed 
after it is repaired.
    (c) Delay of repair. Delay of repair can be used as specified in any 
of paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of this section. The owner or 
operator shall maintain a record of the facts that explain any delay of 
repairs and, where appropriate, why the repair was technically 
infeasible without a process unit shutdown.
    (1) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed if the repair is technically infeasible without a process 
unit or affected facility shutdown within 15 days after a leak is 
detected. Repair of this equipment shall occur as soon as practical, but 
not later than by the end of the next process unit or affected facility 
shutdown, except as provided in paragraph (c)(5) of this section.
    (2) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed for equipment that is isolated from the process and that does 
not remain in regulated material service.
    (3) Delay of repair for valves, connectors, and agitators is also 
allowed if the criteria specified in paragraphs (c)(3)(i) and (c)(3)(ii) 
are met.
    (i) The owner or operator determines that emissions of purged 
material resulting from immediate repair would be greater than the 
fugitive emissions likely to result from delay of repair, and
    (ii) When repair procedures are effected, the purged material is 
collected and destroyed, or recovered in a control or recovery device, 
or routed to a fuel gas system or process complying with Sec. 63.1015 or 
Sec. 63.1002(b) of this part.
    (4) Delay of repair for pumps is allowed if the criteria specified 
in paragraphs (c)(4)(i) and (c)(4)(ii) are met.
    (i) Repair requires replacing the existing seal design with a new 
system that the owner or operator has determined will provide better 
performance or one of the specifications of paragraphs (c)(4)(i)(A) 
through (c)(4)(i)(C) of this section are met.
    (A) A dual mechanical seal system that meets the requirements of 
Sec. 63.1007(e)(1) will be installed,
    (B) A pump that meets the requirements of Sec. 63.1007(e)(2) will be 
installed; or
    (C) A system that routes emissions to a process or a fuel gas system 
or a

[[Page 431]]

closed vent system and control device that meets the requirements of 
Sec. 63.1007(e)(3) will be installed.
    (ii) Repair is to be completed as soon as practical, but not later 
than 6 months after the leak was detected.
    (5) Delay of repair beyond a process unit or affected facility 
shutdown will be allowed for a valve if valve assembly replacement is 
necessary during the process unit or affected facility shutdown, and 
valve assembly supplies have been depleted, and valve assembly supplies 
had been sufficiently stocked before the supplies were depleted. Delay 
of repair beyond the second process unit or affected facility shutdown 
will not be allowed unless the third process unit or affected facility 
shutdown occurs sooner than 6 months after the first process unit or 
affected facility shutdown.
    (d) Unsafe-to-repair connectors. Any connector that is designated, 
as described in Sec. 63.1003(d), as an unsafe-to-repair connector is 
exempt from the requirements of Sec. 63.1008(c), and paragraph (a) of 
this section.
    (e) Leak repair records. For each leak detected, the information 
specified in paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(5) of this section shall be 
recorded and maintained pursuant to the referencing subpart.
    (1) The date of first attempt to repair the leak.
    (2) The date of successful repair of the leak.
    (3) Maximum instrument reading measured by Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A at the time the leak is successfully repaired or 
determined to be nonrepairable.
    (4) ``Repair delayed'' and the reason for the delay if a leak is not 
repaired within 15 calendar days after discovery of the leak as 
specified in paragraphs (e)(4)(i) and (e)(4)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator may develop a written procedure that 
identifies the conditions that justify a delay of repair. The written 
procedures may be included as part of the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan, as required by the referencing subpart for the source, 
or may be part of a separate document that is maintained at the plant 
site. In such cases, reasons for delay of repair may be documented by 
citing the relevant sections of the written procedure.
    (ii) If delay of repair was caused by depletion of stocked parts, 
there must be documentation that the spare parts were sufficiently 
stocked on site before depletion and the reason for depletion.
    (5) Dates of process unit or affected facility shutdowns that occur 
while the equipment is unrepaired.

    (b) Leak detection. Unless otherwise specified in Sec. 63.1002(b), 
or Sec. 63.1016, or in paragraph (e) of this section, or the referencing 
subpart, the owner or operator shall monitor all valves at the intervals 
specified in paragraphs (b)(3) through (b)(6) of this section and shall 
comply with all other provisions of this section.
    (1) Monitoring method. The valves shall be monitored to detect leaks 
by the method specified in Sec. 63.1004(b) and (c).
    (2) Instrument reading that defines a leak. The instrument reading 
that defines a leak is 10,000 parts per million or greater.
    (3) Monitoring period. (i) Each valve shall be monitored monthly to 
detect leaks, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(3)(ii), (e)(1), 
(e)(2), and (e)(4) of this section. An owner or operator may otherwise 
elect to comply with one of the alternative standards in paragraphs 
(b)(5) or (b)(6) of this section as specified in paragraph (b)(4) of 
this section.
    (ii)(A) Any valve for which a leak is not detected for 2 successive 
months may be monitored the same month (first, second, or third month) 
of every quarter, beginning with the next quarter, until a leak is 
detected. The first quarterly monitoring shall occur less

[[Page 432]]

than 3 months following the last monthly monitoring.
    (B) If a leak is detected, the valve shall be monitored monthly 
until a leak is not detected for 2 successive months.
    (C) For purposes of paragraph (b) of this section, quarter means a 
3-month period with the first quarter concluding on the last day of the 
last full month during the 180 days following initial startup.
    (4) Allowance of alternative standards. An owner or operator may 
elect to comply with one of the alternatives specified in either 
paragraph (b)(5) or (b)(6) of this section if the percentage of valves 
leaking is equal to or less than 2.0 percent as determined by the 
procedure in paragraph (c) of this section. An owner or operator must 
notify the Administrator before implementing one of the alternatives 
specified in either paragraph (b)(5) or (b)(6) of this section.
    (5) Allowable percentage alternative. An owner or operator choosing 
to comply with the allowable percentage alternative shall have an 
allowable percentage of leakers no greater than 2.0 percent for each 
affected facility or process unit and shall comply with paragraphs 
(b)(5)(i) and (b)(5)(ii) of this section.
    (i) A compliance demonstration for each affected facility or process 
unit or affected facility complying with this alternative shall be 
conducted initially upon designation, annually, and at other times 
requested by the Administrator. For each such demonstration, all valves 
in gas and vapor and light liquid service within the affected facility 
or process unit shall be monitored within 1 week by the methods 
specified in Sec. 63.1004(b). If an instrument reading exceeds the 
equipment leak level specified in the referencing subpart, a leak is 
detected. The leak percentage shall be calculated as specified in 
paragraph (c) of this section.
    (ii) If an owner or operator decides no longer to comply with this 
alternative, the owner or operator must notify the Administrator in 
writing that the work practice standard described in paragraph (b)(3) of 
this section will be followed.
    (6) Skip period alternatives. An owner or operator may elect to 
comply with one of the alternative work practices specified in 
paragraphs (b)(6)(i) or (b)(6)(ii) of this section. An owner or operator 
electing to use one of these skip period alternatives shall comply with 
paragraphs (b)(6)(iii) and (b)(6)(iv) of this section. Before using 
either skip period alternative, the owner or operator shall initially 
comply with the requirements of paragraph (b)(3) of this section. 
Monitoring data generated before the regulated source became subject to 
the referencing subpart that meets the criteria of either 
Sec. 63.1004(b)(1) through (b)(5), or Sec. 63.1004(b)(6), may be used to 
initially qualify for skip period alternatives.
    (i) After 2 consecutive quarterly leak detection periods with the

standards for equipment leaks are placed here for administrative 
convenience and only apply to those owners and operators of facilities 
subject to a referencing subpart. The provisions of 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart A (General Provisions) do not apply to this subpart except as 
noted in the referencing subpart.
    (b) Equipment subject to this subpart. The provisions of this 
subpart and the referencing subpart apply to equipment that contains or 
contacts regulated material. This subpart applies to pumps, compressors, 
agitators, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-
ended valves or lines, valves, connectors, instrumentation systems, and 
closed vent systems and control devices used to meet the requirements of 
this subpart.
    (c) Equipment in vacuum service. Equipment in vacuum service is 
excluded from the requirements of this subpart.
    (d) Equipment in service less than 300 hours per calendar year. 
Equipment intended to be in regulated material service less than 300 
hours per calendar year is excluded from the requirements of 
Secs. 63.1025 through 63.1034 and Sec. 63.1036 if it is identified as 
required in Sec. 63.1022(b)(5).
    (e) Lines and equipment not containing process fluids. Lines and 
equipment not

[[Page 444]]

containing process fluids are not subject to the provisions of this 
subpart. Utilities, and other non-process lines, such as heating and 
cooling systems that do not combine their materials with those in the 
processes they serve, are not considered to be part of a process unit or 
affected facility.

    All terms used in this part shall have the meaning given them in the 
Act and in this section.
    Batch process means a process in which the equipment is fed 
intermittently or discontinuously. Processing then occurs in this 
equipment after which the equipment is generally emptied. Examples of 
industries that use batch processes include pharmaceutical production 
and pesticide production.

flare, incinerator, process heater, or boiler, used for the combustion 
of organic emissions.
    Connector means flanged, screwed, or other joined fittings used to 
connect two pipelines or a pipeline and a piece of equipment. A common 
connector is a flange. Joined fittings welded completely around the 
circumference of the interface are not considered connectors for the 
purpose of this regulation. For the purpose of reporting and 
recordkeeping, connector means joined fittings that are not 
inaccessible, ceramic, or ceramic-lined (e.g., porcelain, glass, or 
glass-lined) as described in Sec. 63.1027(e)(2).
    Continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) means the total 
equipment that may be required to meet the data acquisition and 
availability requirements of this part, used to sample, condition (if 
applicable), analyze, and provide a record of process or control system 
parameters.

recapture device, or any combination of these devices used to comply 
with this part. Such equipment or devices include, but are not limited 
to, absorbers, carbon adsorbers, condensers, incinerators, flares,

connector, and instrumentation system in regulated material service; and 
any control devices or systems used to comply with this subpart.
    First attempt at repair, for the purposes of this subpart, means to 
take action for the purpose of stopping or reducing leakage of organic 
material to the atmosphere, followed by monitoring as specified in 
Secs. 63.1023(b) and (c) of this subpart in to verify whether the leak 
is repaired, unless the owner or operator determines by other means that 
the leak is not repaired.
    Fuel gas means gases that are combusted to derive useful work or 
heat.
    Fuel gas system means the offsite and onsite piping and flow and 
pressure

[[Page 445]]

control system that gathers gaseous stream(s) generated by onsite 
operations, may blend them with other sources of gas, and transports the 
gaseous stream for use a fuel gas in combustion equipment, such as 
furnaces and gas turbines, either singly or in combination.
    In food and medical service means that a piece of equipment in 
regulated material service contacts a process stream used to manufacture 
a Food and Drug Administration regulated product where leakage of a 
barrier fluid into the process stream would cause any of the following:
    (1) A dilution of product quality so that the product would not meet 
written specifications,
    (2) An exothermic reaction which is a safety hazard,
    (3) The intended reaction to be slowed down or stopped, or
    (4) An undesired side reaction to occur.
    In gas and vapor service means that a piece of equipment in 
regulated material service contains a gas or vapor at operating 
conditions.
    In heavy liquid service means that a piece of equipment in regulated 
material service is not in gas and vapor service or in light liquid

material service contains a liquid that meets the following conditions:
    (1) The vapor pressure of one or more of the organic compounds is 
greater than 0.3 kilopascals at 20 deg. C,
    (2) The total concentration of the pure organic compounds 
constituents having a vapor pressure greater than 0.3 kilopascals at 
20 deg. C is equal to or greater than 20 percent by weight of the total 
process stream, and
    (3) The fluid is a liquid at operating conditions.

    (Note to definition of ``in light liquid service'': Vapor pressures 
may be determined by standard reference texts or ASTM D-2879.)

    In liquid service means that a piece of equipment in regulated 
material service is not in gas and vapor service.
    In organic hazardous air pollutant or in organic HAP service means 
that piece of equipment either contains or contracts a fluid (liquid or 
gas) that is at least 5 percent by weight of total organic HAP's as 
determined according to the provisions of Sec. 63.180(d) of subpart H. 
The provisions of Sec. 63.180(d) of subpart H also specify how to 
determine that a piece of equipment is not in organic HAP service.
    In regulated material service means, for the purposes of this 
subpart, equipment which meets the definition of ``in VOC service,'' 
``in VHAP service,'' ``in organic hazardous air pollutant service,'' or 
``in'' other chemicals or groups of chemicals ``service'' as defined in 
the referencing subpart.
    In-situ sampling systems means nonextractive samplers or in-line 
samplers.
    In vacuum service means that equipment is operating at an internal 
pressure which is at least 5 kilopascals below ambient pressure.
    Initial startup means for new sources, the first time the source 
begins production. For additions or changes not defined as a new source 
by this subpart, initial startup means the first time additional or 
changed equipment is put into operation. Initial startup does not 
include operation solely for testing of equipment. Initial startup does 
not include subsequent startup of process units following malfunction or 
process unit shutdowns. Except for equipment leaks, initial startup also 
does not include subsequent startups (of process units following changes 
in product for flexible operation units or following recharging of 
equipment in batch unit operations).
    Instrumentation system means a group of equipment components used to 
condition and convey a sample of the process fluid to analyzers and 
instruments for the purpose of determining process operating conditions 
(e.g., composition, pressure, flow, etc.). Valves and connectors are the 
predominant type of equipment used in instrumentation systems; however, 
other types of equipment may also be included in these systems. Only 
valves nominally 1.27 centimeters (0.5 inches) and smaller, and 
connectors nominally 1.91 centimeters (0.75 inches) and smaller in 
diameter are considered instrumentation systems for the purposes of this 
subpart. Valves greater than nominally

[[Page 446]]

1.27 centimeters (0.5 inches) and connectors greater than nominally 1.91 
centimeters (0.75 inches) associated with instrumentation systems are 
not considered part of instrumentation systems and must be monitored 
individually.
    Liquids dripping means any visible leakage from the seal including 
dripping, spraying, misting, clouding, and ice formation. Indications of 
liquids dripping include puddling or new stains that are indicative of 
an existing evaporated drip.
    Nonrepairable means that it is technically infeasible to repair a 
piece of equipment from which a leak has been detected without a process 
unit or affected facility shutdown.
    Open-ended valve or line means any valve, except relief valves, 
having one side of the valve seat in contact with process fluid and one 
side open to atmosphere, either directly or through open piping.
    Organic monitoring device means a unit of equipment used to indicate 
the concentration level of organic compounds based on a detection 
principle such as infra-red, photoionization, or thermal conductivity.
    Polymerizing monomer means a compound which may form polymer buildup 
in pump mechanical seals resulting in rapid mechanical seal failure.
    Pressure release means the emission of materials resulting from the 
system pressure being greater than the set pressure of the relief 
device. This release can be one release or a series of releases over a 
short time period due to a malfunction in the process.
    Pressure relief device or valve means a safety device used to 
prevent operating pressures from exceeding the maximum allowable working 
pressure of the process equipment. A common pressure relief device is a 
spring-loaded pressure relief valve. Devices that are actuated either by 
a pressure of less than or equal to 2.5 pounds per square inch gauge or 
by a vacuum are not pressure relief devices.
    Process unit means the equipment specified in the definitions of 
process unit in the applicable referencing subpart. If the referencing 
subpart does not define process unit, then for the purposes of this 
part, process unit means the equipment assembled and connected by pipes 
or ducts to process raw materials and to manufacture an intended 
product.
    Process unit shutdown means a work practice or operational procedure 
that stops production from a process unit, or part of a process unit 
during which it is technically feasible to clear process material from a 
process unit, or part of a process unit, consistent with safety 
constraints and during which repairs can be affected. The following are 
not considered process unit shutdowns:
    (1) An unscheduled work practice or operations procedure that stops 
production from a process unit, or part of a process unit, for less than 
24 hours.
    (2) An unscheduled work practice or operations procedure that would 
stop production from a process unit, or part of a process unit, for a 
shorter period of time than would be required to clear the process unit, 
or part of the process unit, of materials and start up the unit, and 
would result in greater emissions than delay of repair of leaking 
components until the next scheduled process unit shutdown.
    (3) The use of spare equipment and technically feasible bypassing of 
equipment without stopping production.
    Referencing subpart means the subpart that refers an owner or 
operator to this subpart.
    Regulated material, for purposes of this part, refers to gas from 
volatile organic liquids (VOL), volatile organic compounds (VOC), 
hazardous air pollutants (HAP), or other chemicals or groups of 
chemicals that are regulated by the referencing subpart.
    Regulated source for the purposes of this part, means the stationary 
source, the group of stationary sources, or the portion of a stationary 
source that is regulated by a referencing subpart.
    Relief device or valve means a valve used only to release an 
unplanned, nonroutine discharge. A relief valve discharge can result 
from an operator error, a malfunction such as a power failure or 
equipment failure, or other unexpected cause that requires immediate 
venting of gas from process equipment in order to avoid safety hazards 
or equipment damage.

[[Page 447]]

    Repaired, for the purposes of this subpart, means that equipment is 
adjusted, or otherwise altered, to eliminate a leak as defined in the 
applicable sections of this subpart and unless otherwise specified in 
applicable provisions of this subpart, is monitored as specified in 
Secs. 63.1023(b) and (c) to verify that emissions from the equipment are 
below the applicable leak definition.
    Routed to a process or route to a process means the emissions are 
conveyed to any enclosed portion of a process unit where the emissions 
are predominantly recycled and/or consumed in the same manner as a 
material that fulfills the same function in the process and/or 
transformed by chemical reaction into materials that are not regulated 
materials and/or incorporated into a product; and/or recovered.
    Sampling connection system means an assembly of equipment within a 
process unit or affected facility used during periods of representative 
operation to take samples of the process fluid. Equipment used to take 
nonroutine grab samples is not considered a sampling connection system.
    Screwed (threaded) connector means a threaded pipe fitting where the 
threads are cut on the pipe wall and the fitting requires only two 
pieces to make the connection (i.e., the pipe and the fitting).
    Sensor means a device that measures a physical quantity or the 
change in a physical quantity, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, 
pH, or liquid level.
    Set pressure means for the purposes of this subpart, the pressure at 
which a properly operating pressure relief device begins to open to 
relieve atypical process system operating pressure.
    Start-up means the setting into operation of a piece of equipment or 
a control device that is subject to this subpart.

Sec. 63.1023  Instrument and sensory monitoring for leaks.

    (a) Monitoring for leaks. The owner or operator of a regulated 
source subject to this subpart shall monitor regulated equipment as 
specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section for instrument monitoring 
and paragraph (a)(2) of this section for sensory monitoring.
    (1) Instrument monitoring for leaks. (i) Valves in gas and vapor 
service and in light liquid service shall be monitored pursuant to 
Sec. 63.1025(b).
    (ii) Pumps in light liquid service shall be monitored pursuant to 
Sec. 63.1026(b).
    (iii) Connectors in gas and vapor service and in light liquid 
service shall be monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1027(b).

shall be monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1028(c).
    (v) Pressure relief devices in gas and vapor service shall be 
monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1030(c).
    (vi) Compressors designated to operate with an instrument reading 
less than 500 parts per million above background, as described in 
Sec. 63.1022(e), shall be monitored pursuant to Sec. 63.1031(f).
    (2) Sensory monitoring for leaks. (i) Pumps in light liquid service 
shall be observed pursuant to Secs. 63.1026(b)(4) and (e)(1)(v).
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (iii) Agitators in gas and vapor service and in light liquid service 
shall be observed pursuant to Sec. 63.1028(c)(3) or (e)(1)(iv).
    (iv) [Reserved]
    (b) Instrument monitoring methods. Instrument monitoring, as 
required under this subpart, shall comply with the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(6) of this section.
    (1) Monitoring method. Monitoring shall comply with Method 21 of 40 
CFR part 60, appendix A, except as otherwise provided in this section.
    (2) Detection instrument performance criteria. (i) Except as 
provided for in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the detection 
instrument shall meet the performance criteria of Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response factor criteria in 
section 3.1.2, paragraph (a) of Method 21 shall be for the 
representative composition of the process fluid not each individual VOC 
in the stream. For process streams that contain nitrogen, air, water or 
other inerts that are not HAP or VOC, the representative stream response 
factor shall be determined on an inert-free basis. The response factor 
may be determined at any concentration for which monitoring for leaks 
will be conducted.
    (ii) If there is no instrument commercially available that will meet 
the performance criteria specified in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this 
section, the instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying by the 
representative response factor of the process fluid, calculated on an 
inert-free basis as described in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section.
    (3) Detection instrument calibration procedure. The detection 
instrument

[[Page 451]]

shall be calibrated before use on each day of its use by the procedures 
specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (4) Detection instrument calibration gas. Calibration gases shall be 
zero air (less than 10 parts per million of hydrocarbon in air); and the 
gases specified in paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section except as 
provided in paragraph (b)(4)(ii) of this section.
    (i) Mixtures of methane in air at a concentration no more than 2,000 
parts per million greater than the leak definition concentration of the 
equipment monitored. If the monitoring instrument's design allows for 
multiple calibration scales, then the lower scale shall be calibrated 
with a calibration gas that is no higher than 2,000 parts per million 
above the concentration specified as a leak, and the highest scale shall 
be calibrated with a calibration gas that is approximately equal to 
10,000 parts per million. If only one scale on an instrument will be 
used during monitoring, the owner or operator need not calibrate the 
scales that will not be used during that day's monitoring.
    (ii) A calibration gas other than methane in air may be used if the 
instrument does not respond to methane or if the instrument does not 
meet the performance criteria specified in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this 
section. In such cases, the calibration gas may be a mixture of one or 
more of the compounds to be measured in air.
    (5) Monitoring performance. Monitoring shall be performed when the 
equipment is in regulated material service or is in use with any other 
detectable material.
    (6) Monitoring data. Monitoring data obtained prior to the regulated 
source becoming subject to the referencing subpart that do not meet the 
criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section 
may still be used to qualify initially for less frequent monitoring 
under the provisions in Sec. 63.1025(a)(2), (b)(3) or (b)(4) for valves 
or Sec. 63.1027(b)(3) for connectors provided the departures from the 
criteria or from the specified monitoring frequency of 
Sec. 63.1025(b)(3) or (b)(4) or Sec. 63.1027(b)(3) are minor and do not 
significantly affect the quality of the data. Examples of minor 
departures are monitoring at a slightly different frequency (such as 
every 6 weeks instead of monthly or quarterly), following the 
performance criteria of section 3.1.2, paragraph (a) of Method 21 of 
Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60 instead of paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section, or monitoring using a different leak definition if the data 
would indicate the presence or absence of a leak at the concentration 
specified in this subpart. Failure to use a calibrated instrument is not 
considered a minor departure.
    (c) Instrument monitoring using background adjustments. The owner or 
operator may elect to adjust or not to adjust the instrument readings 
for background. If an owner or operator elects not to adjust instrument 
readings for background, the owner or operator shall monitor the 
equipment according to the procedures specified in paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (b)(5) of this section. In such cases, all instrument readings 
shall be compared directly to the applicable leak definition for the 
monitored equipment to determine whether there is a leak or to determine 
compliance with Sec. 63.1030(b) (pressure relief devices) or 
Sec. 63.1031(f) (alternative compressor standard). If an owner or 
operator elects to adjust instrument readings for background, the owner 
or operator shall monitor the equipment according to the procedures 
specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section.
    (1) The requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this 
section shall apply.
    (2) The background level shall be determined, using the procedures 
in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (3) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential 
leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as described in 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    (4) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration 
indicated by the instrument and the background level shall be compared 
to the applicable leak definition for the monitored equipment to 
determine whether there is a leak or to determine compliance with 
Sec. 63.1030(b) (pressure relief devices)

[[Page 452]]

or Sec. 63.1031(f) (alternative compressor standard).
    (d) Sensory monitoring methods. Sensory monitoring consists of 
visual, audible, olfactory, or any other detection method used to 
determine a potential leak to the atmosphere.
    (e) Leaking equipment identification and records. (1) When each leak 
is detected pursuant to the monitoring specified in paragraph (a) of 
this section, a weatherproof and readily visible identification, shall 
be attached to the leaking equipment.
    (2) When each leak is detected, the information specified in 
Sec. 63.1024(f) shall be recorded and kept pursuant to the referencing 
subpart, except for the information for connectors complying with the 8 
year monitoring period allowed under Sec. 63.1027(b)(3)(iii) shall be 
kept 5 years beyond the date of its last use.



Sec. 63.1024  Leak repair.

    (a) Leak repair schedule. The owner or operator shall repair each 
leak detected as soon as practical, but not later than 15 calendar days 
after it is detected, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of 
this section. A first attempt at repair as defined in this subpart shall 
be made no later than 5 calendar days after the leak is detected. First 
attempt at repair for pumps includes, but is not limited to, tightening 
the packing gland nuts and/or ensuring that the seal flush is operating 
at design pressure and temperature. First attempt at repair for valves 
includes, but is not limited to, tightening the bonnet bolts, and/or 
replacing the bonnet bolts, and/or tightening the packing gland nuts, 
and/or injecting lubricant into the lubricated packing.
    (b) [Reserved]
    (c) Leak identification removal. (1) Valves and connectors in gas/
vapor and light liquid service. The leak identification on a valve in 
gas/vapor or light liquid service may be removed after it has been 
monitored as specified in Sec. 63.1025(d)(2), and no leak has been 
detected during that monitoring. The leak identification on a connector 
in gas/vapor or light liquid service may be removed after it has been 
monitored as specified in Sec. 63.1027(b)(3)(iv) and no leak has been 
detected during that monitoring.
    (2) Other equipment. The identification that has been placed, 
pursuant to Sec. 63.1023(e)(1), on equipment determined to have a leak, 
except for a valve or for a connector in gas/vapor or light liquid 
service that is subject to the provisions of Sec. 63.1027(b)(3)(iv), may 
be removed after it is repaired.
    (d) Delay of repair. Delay of repair is allowed for any of the 
conditions specified in paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(5) of this 
section. The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the facts that 
explain any delay of repairs and, where appropriate, why the repair was 
technically infeasible without a process unit shutdown.
    (1) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed if repair within 15 days after a leak is detected is 
technically infeasible without a process unit or affected facility 
shutdown. Repair of this equipment shall occur as soon as practical, but 
no later than the end of the next process unit or affected facility 
shutdown, except as provided in paragraph (d)(5) of this section.
    (2) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected 
is allowed for equipment that is isolated from the process and that does 
not remain in regulated material service.
    (3) Delay of repair for valves, connectors, and agitators is also 
allowed if the provisions of paragraphs (d)(3)(i) and (d)(3)(ii) of this 
section are met.
    (i) The owner or operator determines that emissions of purged 
material resulting from immediate repair would be greater than the 
fugitive emissions likely to result from delay of repair, and
    (ii) When repair procedures are effected, the purged material is 
collected and destroyed, collected and routed to a fuel gas system or 
process, or recovered in a control device complying with either 
Sec. 63.1034 or Sec. 63.1021(b) of this part.
    (4) Delay of repair for pumps is also allowed if the provisions of 
paragraphs (d)(4)(i) and (d)(4)(ii) of this section are met.
    (i) Repair requires replacing the existing seal design with a new 
system

[[Page 453]]

that the owner or operator has determined under the provisions of 
Sec. 63.1035(d) will provide better performance or one of the 
specifications of paragraphs (d)(4)(i)(A) through (d)(4)(i)(C) of this 
section are met.
    (A) A dual mechanical seal system that meets the requirements of 
Sec. 63.1026(e)(1) will be installed;
    (B) A pump that meets the requirements of Sec. 63.1026(e)(2) will be 
installed; or
    (C) A system that routes emissions to a process or a fuel gas system 
or a closed vent system and control device that meets the requirements 
of Sec. 63.1026(e)(3) will be installed; and
    (ii) Repair is completed as soon as practical, but not later than 6 
months after the leak was detected.
    (5) Delay of repair beyond a process unit or affected facility 
shutdown will be allowed for a valve if valve assembly replacement is 
necessary during the process unit or affected facility shutdown, and 
valve assembly supplies have been depleted, and valve assembly supplies 
had been sufficiently stocked before the supplies were depleted. Delay 
of repair beyond the second process unit or affected facility shutdown 
will not be allowed unless the third process unit or affected facility 
shutdown occurs sooner than 6 months after the first process unit or 
affected facility shutdown.
    (e) Unsafe-to-repair--connectors. Any connector that is designated, 
as described in Sec. 63.1022(d), as an unsafe-to-repair connector is 
exempt from the requirements of Sec. 63.1027(d), and paragraph (a) of 
this section.
    (f) Leak repair records. For each leak detected, the information 
specified in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(5) of this section shall be 
recorded and maintained pursuant to the referencing subpart.
    (1) The date of first attempt to repair the leak.
    (2) The date of successful repair of the leak.
    (3) Maximum instrument reading measured by Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A at the time the leak is successfully repaired or 
determined to be nonrepairable.

repaired within 15 calendar days after discovery of the leak as 
specified in paragraphs (f)(4)(i) and (f)(4)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The owner or operator may develop a written procedure that 
identifies the conditions that justify a delay of repair. The written 
procedures may be included as part of the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan, as required by the referencing subpart for the source, 
or may be part of a separate document that is maintained at the plant 
site. In such cases, reasons for delay of repair may be documented by 
citing the relevant sections of the written procedure.
    (ii) If delay of repair was caused by depletion of stocked parts, 
there must be documentation that the spare parts were sufficiently 
stocked on-site before depletion and the reason for depletion.
    (5) Dates of process unit or affected facility shutdowns that occur 
while the equipment is unrepaired.



Sec. 63.1025  Valves in gas and vapor service and in light liquid service standards.

    (a) Compliance schedule. (1) The owner or operator shall comply with 
this section no later than the compliance dates specified in the 
referencing subpart.
    (2) The use of monitoring data generated before the regulated source 
became subject to the referencing subpart to qualify initially for less 
frequent monitoring is governed by the provisions of Sec. 63.1023(b)(6).
    (b) Leak detection. Unless otherwise specified in Sec. 63.1021(b) or 
paragraph (e) of this section, or the referencing subpart, the owner or 
operator shall monitor all valves at the intervals specified in 
paragraphs (b)(3) and/or (b)(4) of this section and shall comply with 
all other provisions of this section.
    (1) Monitoring method. The valves shall be monitored to detect leaks 
by the method specified in Sec. 63.1023(b) and, as applicable, 
Sec. 63.1023(c).
    (2) Instrument reading that defines a leak. The instrument reading 
that defines a leak is 500 parts per million or greater.
    (3) Monitoring frequency. The owner or operator shall monitor valves 
for leaks at the intervals specified in paragraphs (b)(3)(i) through 
(b)(3)(v) of this section

[[Page 454]]

and shall keep the record specified in paragraph (b)(3)(vi) of this 
section.
    (i) If at least the greater of 2 valves or 2 percent of the valves 
in a process unit leak, as calculated according to paragraph (c) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall monitor each valve once per month.
    (ii) At process units with less than the greater of 2 leaking valves 
or 2 percent leaking valves, the owner or operator shall monitor each 
valve once each quarter, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(3)(iii) 
through (b)(3)(v) of this section. Monitoring data generated before the 
regulated source became subject to the referencing subpart and meeting 
the criteria of either Sec. 63.1023(b)(1) through (b)(5), or 
Sec. 63.1023(b)(6), may be used to qualify initially for less frequent 
monitoring under paragraphs (b)(3)(iii) through (b)(3)(v) of this 
section.
    (iii) At process units with less than 1 percent leaking valves, the 
owner or operator may elect to monitor each valve once every two 
quarters
    (iv) At process units with less than 0.5 percent leaking valves, the 
owner or operator may elect to monitor each valve once every four 
quarters.
    (v) At process units with less than 0.25 percent leaking valves, the 
owner or operator may elect to monitor each valve once every 2 years.
    (vi) The owner or operator shall keep a record of the monitoring 
schedule for each process unit.
    (4) Valve subgrouping. For a process unit or a group of process 
units to which this subpart applies, an owner or operator may choose to 
subdivide the valves in the applicable process unit or group of process 
units and apply the provisions of paragraph (b)(3) of this section to 
each subgroup. If the owner or operator elects to subdivide the valves 
in the applicable process unit or group of process units, then the 
provisions of paragraphs (b)(4)(i) through (b)(4)(viii) of this section 
apply.
    (i) The overall performance of total valves in the applicable 
process unit or group of process units to be subdivided shall be less 
than 2 percent leaking valves, as detected according to paragraphs 
(b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section and as calculated according to 
paragraphs (c)(1)(ii) and (c)(2) of this section.
    (ii) The initial assignment or subsequent reassignment of valves to 
subgroups shall be governed by the provisions of paragraphs 
(b)(4)(ii)(A) through (b)(4)(ii)(C) of this section.
    (A) The owner or operator shall determine which valves are assigned 
to each subgroup. Valves with less than one year of monitoring data or 
valves not monitored within the last twelve months must be placed 
initially into the most frequently monitored subgroup until at least one 
year of monitoring data have been obtained.
    (B) Any valve or group of valves can be reassigned from a less 
frequently monitored subgroup to a more frequently monitored subgroup 
provided that the valves to be reassigned were monitored during the most 
recent monitoring period for the less frequently monitored subgroup. The 
monitoring results must be included with that less frequently monitored 
subgroup's associated percent leaking valves calculation for that 
monitoring event.
    (C) Any valve or group of valves can be reassigned from a more 
frequently monitored subgroup to a less frequently monitored subgroup 
provided that the valves to be reassigned have not leaked for the period 
of the less frequently monitored subgroup (e.g., for the last 12 months, 
if the valve or group of valves is to be reassigned to a subgroup being 
monitored annually). Nonrepairable valves may not be reassigned to a 
less frequently monitored subgroup.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall determine every 6 months if the 
overall performance of total valves in the applicable process unit or 
group of process units is less than 2 percent leaking valves and so 
indicate the performance in the next Periodic Report. If the overall 
performance of total valves in the applicable process unit or group of 
process units is 2 percent leaking valves or greater, the owner or 
operator shall no longer subgroup and shall revert to the program 
required in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(3) of this section for that 
applicable process unit or group of process units. An owner or operator 
can again elect to comply with the valve subgrouping procedures of

[[Page 455]]

paragraph (b)(4) of this section if future overall performance of total 
valves in the process unit or group of process units is again less than 
2 percent. The overall performance of total valves in the applicable 
process unit or group of process units shall be calculated as a weighted 
average of the percent leaking valves of each subgroup according to 
Equation number 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29JN99.010

where:

%VLO = Overall performance of total valves in the applicable 
          process unit or group of process units
%VLi = Percent leaking valves in subgroup i, most recent 
          value calculated according to the procedures in paragraphs 
          (c)(1)(ii) and (c)(2) of this section.
Vi = Number of valves in subgroup i.
n = Number of subgroups.

    (iv) The owner or operator shall maintain records specified in 
paragraphs (b)(4)(iv)(A) through (b)(4)(iv)(D) of this section.
    (A) Which valves are assigned to each subgroup,
    (B) Monitoring results and calculations made for each subgroup for 
each monitoring period,
    (C) Which valves are reassigned, the last monitoring result prior to 
reassignment, and when they were reassigned, and
    (D) The results of the semiannual overall performance calculation 
required in paragraph (b)(4)(iii) of this section.
    (v) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator no later 
than 30 days prior to the beginning of the next monitoring period of the 
decision to subgroup valves. The notification shall identify the 
participating process units and the number of valves assigned to each 
subgroup, if applicable, and may be included in the next Periodic 
Report.
    (vi) The owner or operator shall submit in the periodic reports the 
information specified in paragraphs (b)(4)(vi)(A) and (b)(4)(vi)(B).
    (A) Total number of valves in each subgroup, and
    (B) Results of the semiannual overall performance calculation 
required by paragraph (b)(4)(iii) of this section.
    (vii) To determine the monitoring frequency for each subgroup, the 
calculation procedures of paragraph (c)(2) of this section shall be 
used.
    (viii) Except for the overall performance calculations required by 
paragraphs (b)(4)(i) and (iii) of this section, each subgroup shall be 
treated as if it were a process unit for the purposes of applying the 
provisions of this section.
    (c) Percent leaking valves calculation. (1) Calculation basis and 
procedures. (i) The owner or operator shall decide no later than the 
compliance date of this part or upon revision of an operating permit 
whether to calculate percent leaking valves on a process unit or group 
of process units basis. Once the owner or operator has decided, all 
subsequent percentage calculations shall be made on the same basis and 
this shall be the basis used for comparison with the subgrouping 
criteria specified in paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section.
    (ii) The percent leaking valves for each monitoring period for each 
process unit or valve subgroup, as provided in paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section, shall be calculated using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29JN99.011

where:

%VL = Percent leaking valves.
VL = Number of valves found leaking, excluding nonrepairable 
          valves, as provided in paragraph (c)(3) of this section, and 
          including those valves found leaking pursuant to paragraphs 
          (d)(2)(iii)(A) and (d)(2)(iii)(B) of this section.
VT = The sum of the total number of valves monitored.

    (2) Calculation for monitoring frequency. When determining 
monitoring frequency for each process unit or valve subgroup subject to 
monthly, quarterly, or semiannual monitoring frequencies, the percent 
leaking valves shall be the arithmetic average of the percent leaking 
valves from the last two monitoring periods. When determining monitoring 
frequency for each process unit or valve subgroup subject to annual or 
biennial (once every 2

[[Page 456]]

years) monitoring frequencies, the percent leaking valves shall be the 
arithmetic average of the percent leaking valves from the last three 
monitoring periods.
    (3) Nonrepairable valves. (i) Nonrepairable valves shall be included 
in the calculation of percent leaking valves the first time the valve is 
identified as leaking and nonrepairable and as required to comply with 
paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section. Otherwise, a number of 
nonrepairable valves (identified and included in the percent leaking 
valves calculation in a previous period) up to a maximum of 1 percent of 
the total number of valves in regulated material service at a process 
unit or affected facility may be excluded from calculation of percent 
leaking valves for subsequent monitoring periods.
    (ii) If the number of nonrepairable valves exceeds 1 percent of the 
total number of valves in regulated material service at a process unit 
or affected facility, the number of nonrepairable valves exceeding 1 
percent of the total number of valves in regulated material service 
shall be included in the calculation of percent leaking valves.
    (d) Leak repair. (1) If a leak is determined pursuant to paragraph 
(b), (e)(1), or (e)(2) of this section, then the leak shall be repaired 
using the procedures in Sec. 63.1024, as applicable.
    (2) After a leak has been repaired, the valve shall be monitored at 
least once within the first 3 months after its repair. The monitoring 
required by this paragraph is in addition to the monitoring required to 
satisfy the definition of repaired and first attempt at repair.
    (i) The monitoring shall be conducted as specified in 
Sec. 63.1023(b) and (c) of this section, as appropriate, to determine 
whether the valve has resumed leaking.
    (ii) Periodic monitoring required by paragraph (b) of this section 
may be used to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph, if the timing 
of the monitoring period coincides with the time specified in this 
paragraph. Alternatively, other monitoring may be performed to satisfy 
the requirements of this paragraph, regardless of whether the timing of 
the monitoring period for periodic monitoring coincides with the time 
specified in this paragraph.
    (iii) If a leak is detected by monitoring that is conducted pursuant 
to paragraph (d)(2) of this section, the owner or operator shall follow 
the provisions of paragraphs (d)(2)(iii)(A) and (d)(2)(iii)(B) of this 
section, to determine whether that valve must be counted as a leaking 
valve for purposes of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (A) If the owner or operator elected to use periodic monitoring 
required by paragraph (b) of this section to satisfy the requirements of 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, then the valve shall be counted as a 
leaking valve.
    (B) If the owner or operator elected to use other monitoring, prior 
to the periodic monitoring required by paragraph (b) of this section, to 
satisfy the requirements of paragraph (d)(2) of this section, then the 
valve shall be counted as a leaking valve unless it is repaired and 
shown by periodic monitoring not to be leaking.
    (e) Special provisions for valves. (1) Unsafe-to-monitor valves. Any 
valve that is designated, as described in Sec. 63.1022(c)(1), as an 
unsafe-to-monitor valve is exempt from the requirements of paragraphs 
(b) and (d)(2) of this section and the owner or operator shall monitor 
the valve according to the written plan specified in Sec. 63.1022(c)(4).
    (2) Difficult-to-monitor valves. Any valve that is designated, as 
described in Sec. 63.1022(c)(2), as a difficult-to-monitor valve is 
exempt from the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section and the 
owner or operator shall monitor the valve according to the written plan 
specified in Sec. 63.1022(c)(4).
    (3) Fewer than 250 valves. Any equipment located at a plant site 
with fewer than 250 valves in regulated material service is exempt from 
the requirements for monthly monitoring specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i) 
of this section. Instead, the owner or operator shall monitor each valve 
in regulated material service for leaks once each quarter, as provided 
in paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this section.

owner or operator has decided, all subsequent percentage calculations 
shall be made on the same basis.
    (2) If, when calculated on a 6-month rolling average, at least the 
greater of either 10 percent of the pumps in a process unit or three 
pumps in a process unit leak, the owner or operator shall implement a 
quality improvement program for pumps that complies with the 
requirements of Sec. 63.1035.
    (3) The number of pumps at a process unit or affected facility shall 
be the sum of all the pumps in regulated material service, except that 
pumps found leaking in a continuous process unit or affected facility 
within 1 month after start-up of the pump shall not count in the percent 
leaking pumps calculation for that one monitoring period only.
    (4) Percent leaking pumps shall be determined by the following 
equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29JN99.012

Where:

%PL = Percent leaking pumps
PL = Number of pumps found leaking as determined through 
          monthly monitoring as required in paragraph (b)(1) of this

Sec. 63.1027  Connectors in gas and vapor service and in light liquid service standards.

    (a) Compliance schedule. The owner or operator shall monitor all 
connectors in each process unit initially for leaks by the later of 
either 12 months after the compliance date as specified in a referencing 
subpart or 12 months after initial startup. If all connectors in each 
process unit have been monitored for leaks prior to the compliance date 
specified in the referencing subpart, no initial monitoring is required 
provided either no process changes have been made since the monitoring 
or the owner or operator can determine that the results of the 
monitoring, with or without adjustments, reliably demonstrate compliance 
despite process changes. If required to monitor because of a process 
change, the owner or operator is required to monitor only those 
connectors involved in the process change.
    (b) Leak detection. Except as allowed in Sec. 63.1021(b), 
Sec. 63.1036, Sec. 63.1037, or as specified in paragraph (e) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall monitor all connectors in gas and 
vapor and light liquid service as specified in paragraphs (a) and (b)(3) 
of this section.
    (1) Monitoring method. The connectors shall be monitored to detect 
leaks by the method specified in Sec. 63.1023(b) and, as applicable, 
Sec. 63.1023(c).
    (2) Instrument reading that defines a leak. If an instrument reading 
greater than or equal to 500 parts per million is measured, a leak is 
detected.
    (3) Monitoring periods. The owner or operator shall perform 
monitoring, subsequent to the initial monitoring required in paragraph 
(a) of this section, as specified in paragraphs (b)(3)(i) through 
(b)(3)(iii) of this section, and shall comply with the requirements of 
paragraphs (b)(3)(iv) and (b)(3)(v) of this section. The required period 
in which monitoring must be conducted shall be determined from 
paragraphs (b)(3)(i) through (b)(3)(iii) of this section using the 
monitoring results from the preceding monitoring period. The percent 
leaking connectors shall be calculated as specified in paragraph (c) of 
this section.
    (i) If the percent leaking connectors in the process unit was 
greater than or equal to 0.5 percent, then monitor within 12 months (1 
year).
    (ii) If the percent leaking connectors in the process unit was 
greater than or equal to 0.25 percent but less than 0.5 percent, then 
monitor within 4 years. An owner or operator may comply with the 
requirements of this paragraph by monitoring at least 40 percent of the 
connectors within 2 years of the start of the monitoring period, 
provided all connectors have been monitored by the end of the 4 year 
monitoring period.
    (iii) If the percent leaking connectors in the process unit was less 
than 0.25 percent, then monitor as provided in paragraph (b)(3)(iii)(A) 
of this section and either paragraph (b)(3)(iii)(B) or (b)(3)(iii)(C) of 
this section, as appropriate.
    (A) An owner or operator shall monitor at least 50 percent of the 
connectors within 4 years of the start of the monitoring period.
    (B) If the percent leaking connectors calculated from the monitoring 
results in paragraph (b)(3)(iii)(A) of this section is greater than or 
equal to 0.35 percent of the monitored connectors, the owner or operator 
shall monitor as soon as practical, but within the next 6 months, all 
connectors that have not yet been monitored during the monitoring 
period. At the conclusion of monitoring, a new monitoring period shall 
be started pursuant to paragraph (b)(3) of this section, based on the 
percent leaking connectors of the total monitored connectors.

[[Page 460]]

    (C) If the percent leaking connectors calculated from the monitoring 
results in paragraph (b)(3)(iii)(A) of this section is less than 0.35 
percent of the monitored connectors, the owner or operator shall monitor 
all connectors that have not yet been monitored within 8 years of the 
start of the monitoring period.
    (iv) If, during the monitoring conducted pursuant to paragraph 
(b)(3)(i) through (b)(3)(iii) of this section, a connector is found to 
be leaking, it shall be re-monitored once within 90 days after repair to 
confirm that it is not leaking.
    (v) The owner or operator shall keep a record of the start date and 
end date of each monitoring period under this section for each process 
unit.
    (c) Percent leaking connectors calculation. For use in determining 
the monitoring frequency, as specified in paragraphs (a) and (b)(3) of 
this section, the percent leaking connectors as used in paragraphs (a) 
and (b)(3) of this section shall be calculated by using equation number 
4.

or affected facility is in the quality improvement program.
    (6) Trial evaluation program. A trial evaluation program shall be 
conducted at each plant site for which the data analysis does not 
identify use of superior performing pump seal technology or pumps that 
can be applied to the areas identified as having poorer than average 
performance, except as provided in paragraph (d)(6)(v) of this section. 
The trial program shall be used to evaluate the feasibility of using in 
the process unit or affected facility (or plant site) the pump designs 
or seal technologies, and operating and maintenance practices that have 
been identified by others as having low emission performance.
    (i) The trial evaluation program shall include on-line trials of 
pump seal technologies or pump designs and operating and maintenance 
practices that have been identified in the available literature or in 
analysis by others as having the ability to perform with leak rates 
below 10 percent in similar services, as having low probability of 
failure, or as having no external actuating mechanism in contact with 
the process fluid. If any of the candidate superior performing pump seal 
technologies or pumps is not included in the performance trials, the 
reasons for rejecting specific technologies from consideration shall be 
documented as required in paragraph (e)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) The number of pump seal technologies or pumps in the trial 
evaluation program shall be the lesser of 1 percent or two pumps for 
programs involving single process units or affected facilities and the

for a 6-month period beginning not later than 18 months after the start 
of the quality improvement program. No later than 24

[[Page 468]]

months after the start of the quality improvement program, the owner or 
operator shall have identified pump seal technologies or pump designs 
that, combined with appropriate process, operating, and maintenance 
practices, operate with low emission performance for specific 
applications in the process unit or affected facility. The owner or 
operator shall continue to conduct performance trials as long as no 
superior performing design or technology has been identified, except as 
provided in paragraph (d)(6)(vi) of this section. The initial list of 
superior emission performance pump designs or pump seal technologies 
shall be amended in the future, as appropriate, as additional 
information and experience are obtained.
    (v) Any plant site with fewer than 400 valves and owned by a 
corporation with fewer than 100 employees shall be exempt from trial 
evaluations of pump seals or pump designs. Plant sites exempt from the 
trial evaluations of pumps shall begin the pump seal or pump replacement 
program at the start of the fourth year of the quality improvement 
program.
    (vi) An owner or operator who has conducted performance trials on 
all alternative superior emission performance technologies suitable for 
the required applications in the process unit or affected facility may 
stop conducting performance trials provided that a superior performing 
design or technology has been demonstrated or there are no technically 
feasible alternative superior technologies remaining. The owner or 
operator shall prepare an engineering evaluation documenting the 
physical, chemical, or engineering basis for the judgment that the 
superior emission performance technology is technically infeasible or 
demonstrating that it would not reduce emissions.
    (7) Quality assurance program. Each owner or operator shall prepare 
and implement a pump quality assurance program that details purchasing 
specifications and maintenance procedures for all pumps and pump seals 
in the process unit or affected facility. The quality assurance program 
may establish any number of categories, or classes, of pumps as needed 
to distinguish among operating conditions and services associated with 
poorer than average emission performance as well as those associated 
with better than average emission performance. The quality assurance 
program shall be developed considering the findings of the data analysis 
required under paragraph (d)(5) of this section; and, if applicable, the 
findings of the trial evaluation required in paragraph (d)(6) of this 
section; and the operating conditions in the process unit or affected 
facility. The quality assurance program shall be updated each year as 
long as the process unit or affected facility has the greater of either 
10 percent or more leaking pumps or has three leaking pumps.
    (i) The quality assurance program shall meet the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (d)(7)(i)(A) through (d)(7)(i)(D) of this 
section.
    (A) Establish minimum design standards for each category of pumps or 
pump seal technology. The design standards shall specify known critical 
parameters such as tolerance, manufacturer, materials of construction, 
previous usage, or other applicable identified critical parameters;
    (B) Require that all equipment orders specify the design standard 
(or minimum tolerances) for the pump or the pump seal;
    (C) Provide for an audit procedure for quality control of purchased 
equipment to ensure conformance with purchase specifications. The audit 
program may be conducted by the owner or operator of the plant site or 
process unit or affected facility, or by a designated representative; 
and
    (D) Detail off-line pump maintenance and repair procedures. These 
procedures shall include provisions to ensure that rebuilt or 
refurbished pumps and pump seals will meet the design specifications for 
the pump category and will operate so that emissions are minimized.
    (ii) The quality assurance program shall be established no later 
than the start of the third year of the quality improvement program for 
plant sites with 400 or more valves or 100 or more employees; and no 
later than the start of the fourth year of the quality improvement 
program for plant sites with

[[Page 469]]

less than 400 valves and less than 100 employees.
    (8) Pump or pump seal replacement. Three years after the start of 
the quality improvement program for plant sites with 400 or more valves 
or 100 or more employees and at the start of the fourth year of the 
quality improvement program for plant sites with less than 400 valves 
and less than 100 employees, the owner or operator shall replace, as 
described in paragraphs (d)(8)(i) and (d)(8)(ii) of this section, the 
pumps or pump seals that are not superior emission performance 
technology with pumps or pump seals that have been identified as 
superior emission performance technology and that comply with the 
quality assurance standards for the pump category. Superior emission 
performance technology is that category or design of pumps or pump seals 
with emission performance that when combined with appropriate process, 
operating, and maintenance practices, will result in less than 10 
percent leaking pumps for specific applications in the process unit, 
affected facility, or plant site. Superior emission performance 
technology includes material or design changes to the existing pump, 
pump seal, seal support system, installation of multiple mechanical 
seals or equivalent, or pump replacement.
    (i) Pumps or pump seals shall be replaced at the rate of 20 percent 
per year based on the total number of pumps in light liquid service. The 
calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest nonzero integer value. 
The minimum number of pumps or pump seals shall be one. Pump replacement 
shall continue until all pumps subject to the requirements of 
Sec. 63.1026 are pumps determined to be superior performance technology.
    (ii) The owner or operator may delay replacement of pump seals or 
pumps with superior technology until the next planned process unit or 
affected facility shutdown, provided the number of pump seals and pumps 
replaced is equivalent to the 20 percent or greater annual replacement 
rate.
    (iii) The pumps shall be maintained as specified in the quality 
assurance program.
    (e) QIP recordkeeping. In addition to the records required by 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, the owner or operator shall maintain 
records for the period of the quality improvement program for the 
process unit or affected facility as specified in paragraphs (e)(1) 
through (e)(6) of this section.
    (1) When using a pump quality improvement program as specified in 
this section, record the information specified in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) 
through (e)(1)(iii) of this section.

Sec. 63.1036  Alternative means of emission limitation: Batch processes.

    (a) General requirement. As an alternative to complying with the 
requirements of Secs. 63.1025 through 63.1033 and Sec. 63.1035, an owner 
or operator of a batch process that operates in regulated material 
service during the calendar year may comply with one of the standards 
specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, or the owner or 
operator may petition for approval of an alternative standard under the 
provisions of Sec. 63.1021(b). The alternative standards of this section 
provide the options of pressure testing or monitoring the equipment for 
leaks. The owner or operator may switch among the alternatives provided 
the change is documented as specified in paragraph (b)(7) of this 
section.
    (b) Pressure testing of the batch equipment. The following 
requirements shall be met if an owner or operator elects to use pressure 
testing of batch product-process equipment to demonstrate compliance 
with this subpart.
    (1) Reconfiguration. Each time equipment is reconfigured for 
production of a different product or intermediate, the batch product-
process equipment train shall be pressure-tested for leaks before 
regulated material is first fed to the equipment and the equipment is 
placed in regulated material service.
    (i) When the batch product-process equipment train is reconfigured 
to produce a different product, pressure testing is required only for 
the new or disturbed equipment.
    (ii) Each batch product process that operates in regulated material 
service during a calendar year shall be pressure-tested at least once 
during that calendar year.
    (iii) Pressure testing is not required for routine seal breaks, such 
as changing hoses or filters, that are not part of the reconfiguration 
to produce a different product or intermediate.
    (2) Testing procedures. The batch product process equipment shall be 
tested either using the procedures specified in paragraph (b)(5) of this 
section for pressure vacuum loss or with a liquid using the procedures 
specified in paragraph (b)(6) of this section.
    (3) Leak detection. (i) For pressure or vacuum tests using a gas, a 
leak is detected if the rate of change in pressure is greater than 6.9 
kilopascals (1 pound per square inch gauge) in 1 hour or if there is 
visible, audible, or olfactory evidence of fluid loss.
    (ii) For pressure tests using a liquid, a leak is detected if there 
are indications of liquids dripping or if there is other evidence of 
fluid loss.
    (4) Leak repair. (i) If a leak is detected, it shall be repaired and 
the batch product-process equipment shall be retested before start-up of 
the process.
    (ii) If a batch product-process fails the retest (the second of two 
consecutive pressure tests), it shall be repaired as soon as practical, 
but not later than 30 calendar days after the second pressure test 
except as specified in paragraph (e) of this section.
    (5) Gas pressure test procedure for pressure or vacuum loss. The 
procedures specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(i) through (b)(5)(v) of this 
section shall be used to pressure test batch product-process equipment 
for pressure or vacuum loss to demonstrate compliance with the 
requirements of paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
    (i) The batch product-process equipment train shall be pressurized 
with a gas to a pressure less than the set pressure of any safety relief 
devices or valves or to a pressure slightly above the operating pressure 
of the equipment, or alternatively the equipment shall be placed under a 
vacuum.
    (ii) Once the test pressure is obtained, the gas source or vacuum 
source shall be shut off.
    (iii) The test shall continue for not less than 15 minutes unless it 
can be determined in a shorter period of time that the allowable rate of 
pressure drop or of pressure rise was exceeded. The pressure in the 
batch product-process equipment shall be measured after the

[[Page 471]]

gas or vacuum source is shut off and at the end of the test period. The 
rate of change in pressure in the batch product-process equipment shall 
be calculated using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29JN99.014

Where:

 (P/t) = Change in pressure, pounds per square inch gauge per 
          hour.
Pf = Final pressure, pounds per square inch gauge.
Pi = Initial pressure, pounds per square inch gauge.
tf - ti = Elapsed time, hours.

    (iv) The pressure shall be measured using a pressure measurement 
device (gauge, manometer, or equivalent) that has a precision of 
2.5 millimeter mercury (0.10 inch of mercury) in the range 
of test pressure and is capable of measuring pressures up to the relief 
set pressure of the pressure relief device. If such a pressure 
measurement device is not reasonably available, the owner or operator 
shall use a pressure measurement device with a precision of at least 
 10 percent of the test pressure of the equipment and shall 
extend the duration of the test for the time necessary to detect a 
pressure loss or rise that equals a rate of 1 pound per square inch 
gauge per hour (7 kilopascals per hour).
    (v) An alternative procedure may be used for leak testing the 
equipment if the owner or operator demonstrates the alternative 
procedure is capable of detecting a pressure loss or rise.
    (6) Pressure test procedure using test liquid. The procedures 
specified in paragraphs (b)(6)(i) through (b)(6)(iv) of this section 
shall be used to pressure-test batch product-process equipment using a 
liquid to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of paragraph 
(b)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (i) The batch product-process equipment train, or section of the 
equipment train, shall be filled with the test liquid (e.g., water, 
alcohol) until normal operating pressure is obtained. Once the equipment 
is filled, the liquid source shall be shut off.
    (ii) The test shall be conducted for a period of at least 60 
minutes, unless it can be determined in a shorter period of time that 
the test is a failure.
    (iii) Each seal in the equipment being tested shall be inspected for 
indications of liquid dripping or other indications of fluid loss. If 
there are any indications of liquids dripping or of fluid loss, a leak 
is detected.
    (iv) An alternative procedure may be used for leak testing the 
equipment, if the owner or operator demonstrates the alternative 
procedure is capable of detecting losses of fluid.
    (7) Pressure testing recordkeeping. The owner or operator of a batch 
product process who elects to pressure test the batch product process 
equipment train to demonstrate compliance with this subpart shall 
maintain records of the information specified in paragraphs (b)(7)(i) 
through (b)(7)(v) of this section.
    (i) The identification of each product, or product code, produced 
during the calendar year. It is not necessary to identify individual 
items of equipment in a batch product process equipment train.
    (ii) Physical tagging of the equipment to identify that it is in 
regulated material service and subject to the provisions of this subpart 
is not required. Equipment in a batch product process subject to the 
provisions of this subpart may be identified on a plant site plan, in 
log entries, or by other appropriate methods.
    (iii) The dates of each pressure test required in paragraph (b) of 
this section, the test pressure, and the pressure drop observed during 
the test.
    (iv) Records of any visible, audible, or olfactory evidence of fluid 
loss.
    (v) When a batch product process equipment train does not pass two 
consecutive pressure tests, the information specified in paragraphs 
(b)(7)(v)(A) through (b)(7)(v)(E) of this section shall be recorded in a 
log and kept for 2 years:
    (A) The date of each pressure test and the date of each leak repair 
attempt.
    (B) Repair methods applied in each attempt to repair the leak.
    (C) The reason for the delay of repair.

                        Organic-Water Separators

    Source: 61 FR 34195, July 1, 1996, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.1040  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to the control of air emissions 
from oil-water separators and organic-water separators for which another 
subpart of 40 CFR parts 60, 61, or 63 references the use of this subpart 
for such air emission control. These air emission standards for oil-
water separators and organic-water separators are placed here for 
administrative convenience and only apply to those owners and operators 
of facilities subject to the other subparts that reference this subpart. 
The provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A--General Provisions do not 
apply to this subpart except as noted in the subpart that references 
this subpart.



Sec. 63.1041  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given to them 
in the Act and in this section. If a term is defined in both this 
section and in another subpart that references the use of this subpart, 
then the definition in this subpart shall take precedence when 
implementing this subpart.
    Closure device means a cap, hatch, lid, plug, seal, valve, or other 
type of fitting that, when the device is secured in the closed position, 
prevents or reduces air emissions to the atmosphere by blocking an 
opening in a fixed roof or floating roof. Closure devices include 
devices that are detachable from the cover (e.g., a sampling port cap), 
manually operated (e.g., a hinged access lid or hatch), or automatically 
operated (e.g., a spring-loaded pressure relief valve).
    Continuous seal means a seal that forms a continuous closure that 
completely covers the space between the edge of the floating roof and 
the wall of a separator. A continuous seal may be constructed of 
fastened segments so as to form a continuous seal.
    Fixed roof means a cover that is mounted on a separator in a 
stationary position and does not move with fluctuations in the level of 
the liquid managed in the separator.
    Floating roof means a pontoon-type or double-deck type cover that 
rests upon and is supported by the liquid managed in a separator.
    Liquid-mounted seal means a foam- or liquid-filled continuous seal 
that is mounted between the wall of the separator and the floating roof, 
and the seal is in contact with the liquid in a separator.
    Oil-water separator means a separator as defined for this subpart 
that is used to separate oil from water.
    Organic-water separator means a separator as defined for this 
subpart that is used to separate organics from water.
    Metallic shoe seal means a continuous seal that is constructed of 
metal sheets which are held vertically against the wall of the separator 
by springs, weighted levers, or other mechanisms and is connected to the 
floating roof by braces or other means. A flexible coated fabric 
(envelope) spans the annular space between the metal sheet and the 
floating roof.
    No detectable organic emissions means no escape of organics to the 
atmosphere as determined using the procedure specified in 
Sec. 63.1046(a) of this subpart.
    Regulated-material means the material (e.g. waste, wastewater, off-
site material) required to be managed in separators using air emission 
controls in accordance with the standards specified in this subpart.
    Safety device means a closure device such as a pressure relief 
valve, frangible disc, fusible plug, or any other type of device which 
functions to prevent physical damage or permanent deformation to 
equipment by venting gases or vapors during unsafe conditions resulting 
from an unplanned, accidental, or emergency event. For the purpose of 
this subpart, a safety device is not used for routine venting of gases 
or vapors from the vapor headspace underneath a cover such as during 
filling of the unit or to adjust the pressure in this vapor headspace in 
response to

[[Page 477]]

normal daily diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations. A safety device 
is designed to remain in a closed position during normal operations and 
open only when the internal pressure, or another relevant parameter, 
exceeds the device threshold setting applicable to the equipment as 
determined by the owner or operator based on manufacturer 
recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention 
codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements 
for the safe handling of flammable, combustible, explosive, reactive, or 
hazardous materials.
    Separator means a waste management unit, generally a tank, that is 
used to separate oil or organics from water. A separator consists of not 
only the separation unit but also the forebay and other separator 
basins, skimmers, weirs, grit chambers, sludge hoppers, and bar screens 
that are located directly after the individual drain system and prior to 
any additional treatment units such as an air flotation unit clarifier 
or biological treatment unit. Examples of a separator include an API 
separator, parallel-plate interceptor, and corrugated-plate interceptor 
with the associated ancillary equipment.

Sec. 63.1046  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Procedure for determining no detectable organic emissions for 
the purpose of complying with this subpart.
    (1) The test shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures 
specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. Each potential 
leak interface (i.e., a location where organic vapor leakage could 
occur) on the cover and associated closure devices shall be checked. 
Potential leak interfaces that are associated with covers and closure 
devices include, but are not limited to: the interface of the cover and 
its foundation mounting; the periphery of any opening on the cover and 
its associated closure device; and the sealing seat interface on a 
spring-loaded pressure-relief valve.
    (2) The test shall be performed when the unit contains a material 
having a total organic concentration representative of the range of 
concentrations for the materials expected to be managed in the unit. 
During the test, the cover and closure devices shall be secured in the 
closed position.
    (3) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response 
factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the 
average composition of the organic constituents in the material placed 
in the unit, not for each individual organic constituent.
    (4) The detection instrument shall be calibrated before use on each 
day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21 of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A.
    (5) Calibration gases shall be as follows:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 ppmv hydrocarbon in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane in air at a concentration of 
approximately, but less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (6) An owner or operator may choose to adjust or not adjust the 
detection instrument readings to account for the background organic 
concentration level. If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the 
instrument readings for the background level, the background level value 
must be determined according to the procedures in Method 21 of 40 CFR 
part 60, appendix A.
    (7) Each potential leak interface shall be checked by traversing the 
instrument probe around the potential leak interface as close to the 
interface as possible, as described in Method 21. In the case when the 
configuration of the cover or closure device prevents a complete 
traverse of the interface, all accessible portions of the interface 
shall be sampled. In the case when the configuration of the closure 
device prevents any sampling at the interface and the device is equipped 
with an enclosed extension or horn (e.g., some pressure relief devices), 
the instrument probe inlet shall be placed at approximately the center 
of the exhaust area to the atmosphere.
    (8) An owner or operator must determine if a potential leak 
interface operates with no detectable emissions using the applicable 
procedure specified in paragraph (a)(8)(i) or (a)(8)(ii) of this 
section.

[[Page 481]]

    (i) If an owner or operator chooses not to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, then 
the maximum organic concentration value measured by the detection 
instrument is compared directly to the applicable value for the 
potential leak interface as specified in paragraph (a)(9) of this 
section.
    (ii) If an owner or operator chooses to adjust the detection 
instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, the 
value of the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic 
concentration value measured by the instrument and the background 
organic concentration value as determined in paragraph (a)(6) of this 
section is compared with the applicable value for the potential leak 
interface as specified in paragraph (a)(9) of this section.
    (9) A potential leak interface is determined to operate with no 
detectable emissions using the applicable criteria specified in 
paragraphs (a)(9)(i) and (a)(9)(ii) of this section.
    (i) For a potential leak interface other than a seal around a shaft 
that passes through a cover opening, the potential leak interface is 
determined to operate with no detectable organic emissions if the 
organic concentration value determined in paragraph (a)(8) is less than 
500 ppmv.
    (ii) For a seal around a shaft that passes through a cover opening, 
the potential leak interface is determined to operate with no detectable 
organic emissions if the organic concentration value determined in 
paragraph (a)(8) is less than 10,000 ppmv.
    (b) Procedure for performing floating roof seal gap measurements for 
the purpose of complying with this subpart.
    (1) The owner or operator shall determine the total surface area of 
gaps in the primary seal and in the secondary seal individually.
    (2) The seal gap measurements shall be performed at one or more 
floating roof levels when the roof is floating off the roof supports.
    (3) Seal gaps, if any, shall be measured around the entire perimeter 
of the floating roof in each place where 0.32-centimeter (cm) (\1/8\ 
inch) diameter uniform probe passes freely (without forcing or binding 
against the seal) between the seal and the wall of the separator and 
measure the circumferential distance of each such location.
    (4) For a seal gap measured under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, 
the gap surface area shall be determined by using probes of various 
widths to measure accurately the actual distance from the separator wall 
to the seal and multiplying each such width by its respective 
circumferential distance.
    (5) The total gap area shall be calculated by adding the gap surface 
areas determined for each identified gap location for the primary seal 
and the secondary seal individually, and then dividing the sum for each 
seal type by the nominal perimeter of the separator basin. These total 
gap areas for the primary seal and secondary seal then are compared to 
the respective standards for the seal type as specified in 
Sec. 63.1043(b)(2) of this subpart.

  Subpart WW--National Emission Standards for Storage Vessels (Tanks)--
                             Control Level 2

    Source: 64 FR 34918, June 29, 1999, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.1060  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to the control of air emissions 
from storage vessels for which another subpart references the use of 
this subpart for such air emission control. These air emission standards 
for storage vessels are placed here for administrative convenience and 
only apply to those owners and operators of facilities subject to a 
referencing subpart. The provisions of subpart A (General Provisions) of 
this part do not apply to this subpart except as noted in the 
referencing subpart.



Sec. 63.1061  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given them in 
the Act and in this section.
    Capacity means the volume of liquid that is capable of being stored 
in a vessel, determined by multiplying the vessel's internal cross-
sectional area by the internal height of the shell.
    Deck cover means a device which covers an opening in a floating roof 
deck. Some deck covers move horizontally relative to the deck (i.e., a 
sliding cover).
    Empty or emptying means the partial or complete removal of stored 
liquid from a storage vessel. Storage vessels that contain liquid only 
as wall or bottom clingage, or in pools due to bottom irregularities, 
are considered completely empty.
    External floating roof or EFR means a floating roof located in a 
storage vessel without a fixed roof.
    Fill or filling means the introduction of liquid into a storage 
vessel, but not necessarily to capacity.
    Fixed roof means a roof that is mounted (i.e., permanently affixed) 
on a storage vessel and that does not move with fluctuations in stored 
liquid level.
    Flexible fabric sleeve seal means a seal made of an elastomeric 
fabric (or other material) which covers an opening in a

[[Page 485]]

floating roof deck, and which allows the penetration of a fixed roof 
support column. The seal is attached to the rim of the deck opening and 
extends to the outer surface of the column. The seal is draped (but does 
not contact the stored liquid) to allow the horizontal movement of the 
deck relative to the column.
    Floating roof means a roof that floats on the surface of the liquid 
in a storage vessel. A floating roof substantially covers the stored 
liquid surface (but is not necessarily in contact with the entire 
surface), and is comprised of a deck, a rim seal, and miscellaneous deck 
fittings.
    Initial fill or initial filling means the first introduction of 
liquid into a storage vessel that is either newly constructed or has not 
been in liquid service for a year or longer.
    Internal floating roof or IFR means a floating roof located in a 
storage vessel with a fixed roof. For the purposes of this subpart, an 
external floating roof located in a storage vessel to which a fixed roof 
has been added is considered to be an internal floating roof.
    Liquid-mounted seal means a resilient or liquid-filled rim seal 
designed to contact the stored liquid.
    Mechanical shoe seal or metallic shoe seal means a rim seal 
consisting of a band of metal (or other suitable material) as the 
sliding contact with the wall of the storage vessel, and a fabric seal 
to close the annular space between the band and the rim of the floating 
roof deck. The band is typically formed as a series of sheets (shoes) 
that are overlapped or joined together to form a ring. The lower end of 
the band extends into the stored liquid.
    Pole float means a float located inside a guidepole that floats on 
the surface of the stored liquid. The rim of the float has a wiper or 
seal that extends to the inner surface of the pole.
    Pole sleeve means a device which extends from either the cover or 
the rim of an opening in a floating roof deck to the outer surface of a 
pole that passes through the opening. The sleeve extends into the stored 
liquid.
    Pole wiper means a seal that extends from either the cover or the 
rim of an opening in a floating roof deck to the outer surface of a pole 
that passes through the opening.
    Referencing subpart means the subpart that refers an owner or 
operator to this subpart.
    Rim seal means a device attached to the rim of a floating roof deck 
that spans the annular space between the deck and the wall of the 
storage vessel. When a floating roof has only one such device, it is a 
primary seal; when there are two seals (one mounted above the other), 
the lower seal is the primary seal and the upper seal is the secondary 
seal.
    Slotted guidepole means a guidepole or gaugepole that has slots or 
holes through the wall of the pole. The slots or holes allow the stored 
liquid to flow into the pole at liquid levels above the lowest operating 
level.
    Storage vessel or Tank means a stationary unit that is constructed 
primarily of nonearthen materials (such as wood, concrete, steel, 
fiberglass, or plastic) which provide structural support and is designed 
to hold an accumulation of liquids or other materials.
    Vapor-mounted seal means a rim seal designed not to be in contact 
with the stored liquid. Vapor-mounted seals may include, but are not 
limited to, resilient seals and flexible wiper seals.



Sec. 63.1062  Storage vessel control requirements.

    (a) For each storage vessel to which this subpart applies, the owner 
or operator shall comply with one of the requirements listed in 
paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section.

(e) of this section.
    (1) Floating roof (IFR and EFR) inspections shall be conducted by 
visually inspecting the floating roof deck, deck fittings, and rim seals 
from within the storage vessel. The inspection may be performed entirely 
from the top side of the floating roof, as long as there is visual 
access to all deck components specified in paragraph (a) of this 
section. Any of the conditions described in paragraphs (d)(1)(i) through 
(d)(1)(v) of this section constitutes inspection failure.
    (i) Stored liquid on the floating roof.
    (ii) Holes or tears in the primary or secondary seal (if one is 
present).
    (iii) Floating roof deck, deck fittings, or rim seals that are not 
functioning as designed (as specified in paragraph (a) of this section).

[[Page 488]]

    (iv) Failure to comply with the operational requirements of 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (v) Gaps of more than 0.32 centimeters (\1/8\ inch) between any deck 
fitting gasket, seal, or wiper (required by paragraph (a) of this 
section) and any surface that it is intended to seal.
    (2) Tank-top inspections of IFR's shall be conducted by visually 
inspecting the floating roof deck, deck fittings, and rim seal through 
openings in the fixed roof. Any of the conditions described in 
paragraphs (d)(1)(i) through (d)(1)(iv) of this section constitutes 
inspection failure. Identification of holes or tears in the rim seal is 
required only for the seal that is visible from the top of the storage 
vessel.
    (3) Seal gap inspections for EFR's shall determine the presence and 
size of gaps between the rim seals and the wall of the storage vessel by 
the procedures specified in paragraph (d)(3)(i) of this section. Any 
exceedance of the gap requirements specified in paragraphs (d)(3)(ii) 
and (d)(3)(iii) of this section constitutes inspection failure.
    (i) Rim seals shall be measured for gaps at one or more levels while 
the EFR is floating, as specified in paragraphs (d)(3)(i)(A) through 
(d)(3)(i)(F) of this section.
    (A) The inspector shall hold a 0.32 centimeter (\1/8\ inch) diameter 
probe vertically against the inside of the storage vessel wall, just 
above the rim seal, and attempt to slide the probe down between the seal 
and the vessel wall. Each location where the probe passes freely 
(without forcing or binding against the seal) between the seal and the 
vessel wall constitutes a gap.
    (B) The length of each gap shall be determined by inserting the 
probe into the gap (vertically) and sliding the probe along the vessel 
wall in each direction as far as it will travel freely without binding 
between the seal and the vessel wall. The circumferential length along 
which the probe can move freely is the gap length.
    (C) The maximum width of each gap shall be determined by inserting 
probes of various diameters between the seal and the vessel wall. The 
smallest probe diameter should be 0.32 centimeter, and larger probes 
should have diameters in increments of 0.32 centimeter. The diameter of 
the largest probe that can be inserted freely anywhere along the length 
of the gap is the maximum gap width.
    (D) The average width of each gap shall be determined by averaging 
the minimum gap width (0.32 centimeter) and the maximum gap width.
    (E) The area of a gap is the product of the gap length and average 
gap width.
    (F) The ratio of accumulated area of rim seal gaps to storage vessel 
diameter shall be determined by adding the area of each gap, and 
dividing the sum by the nominal diameter of the storage vessel. This 
ratio shall be determined separately for primary and secondary rim 
seals.
    (ii) The ratio of seal gap area to vessel diameter for the primary

    (b) Subpart A requirements. The following provisions of subpart A of 
this part (General Provisions), Secs. 63.1 through 63.5, and Secs. 63.12 
through 63.15, apply to owners or operators of affected sources subject 
to this subpart.
    (c) Research and development facilities. The provisions of this 
subpart do not apply to research and development facilities, consistent 
with section 112(b)(7) of the Act.
    (d) Primary product determination and applicability. The primary 
product of a process unit shall be determined according to the 
procedures specified in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section. 
Paragraphs (d(3), (4), and (5) of this section discuss compliance for 
those process units operated as flexible operation units.
    (1) If a process unit only manufactures one product, then that 
product shall represent the primary product of the process unit.
    (2) If a process unit is designed and operated as a flexible 
operation unit, the primary product shall be determined as specified in 
paragraphs (d)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section based on the anticipated 
operations for the 5 years following the promulgation date for existing 
affected sources and for the first 5 years after initial startup for new 
affected sources.
    (i) If the flexible operation unit will manufacture one product for 
the greatest percentage of operating time over the five-year period, 
then that product shall represent the primary product of the flexible 
operation unit.
    (ii) If the flexible operation unit will manufacture multiple 
products equally based on operating time, then the product with the 
greatest production on a mass basis over the five-year period shall 
represent the primary product of the flexible operation unit.
    (3) Once the primary product of a process unit has been determined 
to be a product produced by a source category subject to this subpart, 
the owner or operator of the affected source shall comply with the 
standards for the primary product production process unit.
    (4) The determination of the primary product for a process unit, 
including the assessment of applicability of this subpart to process 
units that are designed and operated as flexible operation units, shall 
be reported in the Notification of Compliance Status report required by 
Sec. 63.1110(a)(4) when the primary product is determined to be a 
product produced by a source category subject to requirements under this 
subpart. The Notification of Compliance Status shall include the 
information specified in either paragraph (d)(4)(i) or (ii) of this 
section. If the primary product is determined to be something other than 
a product produced by a source category subject to requirements under 
this subpart, the owner or operator shall retain information, data, and 
analyses used to document the basis for the determination that the 
primary product is not produced by a source category subject to 
requirements under this subpart.
    (i) If the process unit manufactures only one product subject to 
requirements under this subpart, the identity of that product.
    (ii) If the process unit is designed and operated as a flexible 
operation unit, the information specified in paragraphs (d)(4)(ii)(A) 
and (B) of this section, as appropriate.
    (A) The identity of the primary product.
    (B) Information concerning operating time and/or production mass for 
each product that was used to make the determination of the primary 
product

[[Page 492]]

under paragraph (d)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section.
    (5) When a flexible operation unit that is subject to this subpart 
is producing a product other than a product subject to this subpart, or 
is producing a product subject to this subpart that is not the primary 
product, the owner or operator shall comply with either paragraph (d)(5) 
(i) or (ii) of this section for each emission point.
    (i) The owner or operator shall control emissions during the 
production of all products in accordance with the requirements for the 
production of the primary product. As appropriate, the owner or operator 
shall demonstrate that the parameter monitoring level established for 
the primary product is also appropriate for those periods when products 
other than the primary product are being produced. Documentation of this 
demonstration shall be submitted in the Notification of Compliance 
Status report required by Sec. 63.1110(a)(4).
    (ii) The owner or operator shall determine, for the production of 
each product, whether control is required in accordance with the 
applicable criteria for the primary product in Sec. 63.1103. If control 
is required, the owner or operator shall establish separate parameter 
monitoring levels, as appropriate, for the production of each product. 
The parameter monitoring levels developed shall be submitted in the 
Notification of Compliance Status report required by Sec. 63.1110(a)(4).
    (e) Storage vessel ownership determination. To determine the process 
unit to which a storage vessel shall belong, the owner or operator shall 
sequentially follow the procedures specified in paragraphs (e)(1) 
through (8) of this section, stopping as soon as the determination is 
made.
    (1) If a storage vessel is already subject to another subpart of 
this part on the date of promulgation for an affected source under the 
generic MACT, that storage vessel shall belong to the process unit 
subject to the other subpart.
    (2) If a storage vessel is dedicated to a single process unit, the 
storage vessel shall belong to that process unit.
    (3) If a storage vessel is shared among process units, then the 
storage vessel shall belong to that process unit located on the same 
plant site as the storage vessel that has the greatest input into or 
output from the storage vessel (i.e., the process unit has the 
predominant use of the storage vessel.)
    (4) If predominant use cannot be determined for a storage vessel 
that is shared among process units and if only one of those process 
units is subject to this subpart, the storage vessel shall belong to 
that process unit.
    (5) If predominant use cannot be determined for a storage vessel 
that is shared among process units and if more than one of the process 
units are subject to standards under this subpart that have different 
primary products, then the owner or operator shall assign the storage 
vessel to any one of the process units sharing the storage vessel.
    (6) If the predominant use of a storage vessel varies from year to 
year, then predominant use shall be determined based on the utilization 
that occurred during the year preceding the date of promulgation of 
standards for an affected source under this subpart or based on the 
expected utilization for the 5 years following the promulgation date of 
standards for an affected source under this subpart for existing 
affected sources, whichever is more representative of the expected 
operations for that storage vessel, and based on the expected 
utilization for the 5 years after initial startup for new affected 
sources. The determination of predominant use shall be reported in the 
Notification of Compliance Status Report required by Sec. 63.1110(a)(4). 
If the predominant use changes, the redetermination of predominant use 
shall be reported in the next Periodic Report.
    (7) If the storage vessel begins receiving material from (or sending 
material to) another process unit; ceases to receive material from (or 
send material to) a process unit; or if the applicability of this 
subpart to a storage vessel has been determined according to the 
provisions of paragraphs (e)(1) through (6) of this section and there is 
a significant change in the use of the storage vessel that could 
reasonably change the predominant use, the owner

[[Page 493]]

or operator shall reevaluate the applicability of this subpart to the 
storage vessel.
    (8) Where a storage vessel is located at a major source that 
includes one or more process units that place material into, or receive 
materials from, the storage vessel, but the storage vessel is located in 
a tank farm, the applicability of this subpart shall be determined 
according to the provisions in paragraphs (e)(8)(i) through (iii) of 
this section.
    (i) The storage vessel may only be assigned to a process unit that 
utilizes the storage vessel and does not have an intervening storage 
vessel for that product (or raw material, as appropriate). With respect 
to any process unit, an intervening storage vessel means a storage 
vessel connected by hard-piping to the process unit and to the storage 
vessel in the tank farm so that product or raw material entering or 
leaving the process unit flows into (or from) the intervening storage 
vessel and does not flow directly into (or from) the storage vessel in 
the tank farm.
    (ii) If there is only one process unit at a major source that meets 
the criteria of paragraph (e)(8)(i) of this section with respect to a 
storage vessel, the storage vessel shall be assigned to that process 
unit.
    (iii) If there are two or more process units at the major source 
that meet the criteria of paragraph (e)(8)(i) of this section with 
respect to a storage vessel, the storage vessel shall be assigned to one 
of those process units according to the provisions of paragraph (e)(6) 
of this section. The predominant use shall be determined among only 
those process units that meet the criteria of paragraph (e)(8)(i) of 
this section.
    (f) Recovery operation equipment ownership determination. To 
determine the process unit to which recovery equipment shall belong, the 
owner or operator shall sequentially follow the procedures specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1) through (7) of this section, stopping as soon as the 
determination is made.
    (1) If recovery operation equipment is already subject to another 
subpart of this part on the date standards are promulgated for an 
affected source, that recovery operation equipment shall belong to the 
process unit subject to the other subpart.
    (2) If recovery operation equipment is used exclusively by a single 
process unit, the recovery operation shall belong to that process unit.
    (3) If recovery operation equipment is shared among process units, 
then the recovery operation equipment shall belong to that process unit 
that has the greatest input into or output from the recovery operation 
equipment (i.e., that process unit has the predominant use of the 
recovery operation equipment).
    (4) If predominant use cannot be determined for recovery operation 
equipment that is shared among process units and if one of those process 
units is a process unit subject to this subpart, the recovery operation 
equipment shall belong to the process unit subject to this subpart.
    (5) If predominant use cannot be determined for recovery operation 
equipment that is shared among process units and if more than one of the 
process units are process units that have different primary products and 
that are subject to this subpart, then the owner or operator shall 
assign the recovery operation equipment to any one of those process 
units.
    (6) If the predominant use of recovery operation equipment varies 
from year to year, then the predominant use shall be determined based on 
the utilization that occurred during the year preceding the promulgation 
date of standards for an affected source under this subpart or based on 
the expected utilization for the 5 years following the promulgation date 
for standards for an affected source under this subpart for existing 
affected sources, whichever is the more representative of the expected 
operations for the recovery operations equipment, and based on the 
expected utilization for the first 5 years after initial startup for new 
affected sources. This determination shall be reported in the 
Notification of Compliance Status Report required by Sec. 63.1110(a)(4). 
If the predominant use changes, the redetermination of predominant use 
shall be reported in the next Periodic Report.

[[Page 494]]

    (7) If there is an unexpected change in the utilization of recovery 
operation equipment that could reasonably change the predominant use, 
the owner or operator shall redetermine to which process unit the 
recovery operation belongs by reperforming the procedures specified in 
paragraphs (f)(2) through (6) of this section.
    (g) Overlap with other regulations. Paragraphs (g)(1) through (4) of 
this section specify the applicability of subpart YY emission point 
requirements when other rules may apply. Where subpart YY of this part 
allows an owner or operator an option to comply with one or another 
regulation to comply with subpart YY of this part, an owner or operator 
must report which regulation they choose to comply with in the 
Notification of Compliance Status report required by Sec. 63.1110(a)(4).

Kb of part 60 is required only to comply with the storage vessel 
requirements of this subpart.
    (2) Overlap of subpart YY with other regulations for process vents. 
After the compliance dates specified in Sec. 63.1102 for an affected 
source subject to this subpart, a process vent that is part of an 
existing source that is subject to the process vent requirements of this 
subpart and to the process vent requirements of subpart G (the HON) of 
this part is in compliance with this subpart if it complies with either 
such requirement and has notified the Administrator in the Notification 
of Compliance Status report required by Sec. 63.1110(a)(4).
    (3) Overlap of subpart YY with other regulations for transfer racks. 
After the compliance dates specified in Sec. 63.1102 for an affected 
source subject to this subpart, a transfer rack that is part of an

subject to the wastewater requirements of this subpart and the 
wastewater requirements of subparts F, G, and H of this part 
(collectively known as the ``HON'') shall be deemed to be in compliance 
with the requirements of this subpart if it complies with either set of 
requirements. In any instance where a source subject to this subpart is 
colocated with a Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry 
(SOCMI) source, and a single wastewater treatment facility treats both 
Group 1 wastewaters and wastewater residuals from the source subject to 
this subpart and wastewaters from the SOCMI source, a certification by 
the treatment facility that they will manage and treat the waste in 
conformity with the specific control requirements set forth in 40 CFR 
63.133 through 63.147 will also be deemed sufficient to satisfy the 
certification requirements for wastewater treatment under this subpart.
    (ii) After the compliance dates specified in Sec. 63.1102 for an 
affected source subject to this subpart, a wastewater stream that is 
subject to control requirements in the Benzene Waste NESHAP (subpart FF

Sec. 63.1101  Definitions.

    All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given them in 
the Act, in 40 CFR 63.2 (General Provisions), and in this section.
    Annual average concentration, as used in the wastewater provisions, 
means the flow-weighted annual average concentration, as determined 
according to the procedures specified in Sec. 63.144(b).
    Annual average flow rate, as used in the wastewater provisions, 
means the annual average flow rate, as determined according to the 
procedures specified in Sec. 63.144(c).
    Batch cycle refers to manufacturing a product from start to finish 
in a batch unit operation.
    Batch emission episode means a discrete venting episode that may be 
associated with a single unit operation. A unit operation may have more 
than one batch emission episode per batch cycle. For example, a 
displacement of vapor resulting from the charging of a vessel with 
organic HAP will result in a discrete emission episode. If the vessel is 
then heated, there may also be another discrete emission episode 
resulting from the expulsion of expanded vapor. Both emission episodes 
may occur during the same batch cycle in the same vessel or unit 
operation. There are possibly other emission episodes that may occur 
from the vessel or other process equipment, depending on process 
operations.
    Batch unit operation means a unit operation involving intermittent 
or discontinuous feed into equipment and, in general, involves the 
emptying of equipment after the batch cycle ceases and prior to 
beginning a new batch cycle. Mass, temperature, concentration and other 
properties of the process may vary with time. Addition of raw material 
and withdrawal of product do not simultaneously occur in a batch unit 
operation.
    Bottoms receiver means a tank that collects distillation bottoms 
before the stream is sent for storage or for further downstream 
processing.
    By compound means by individual stream components, not carbon 
equivalents.
    Capacity means the volume of liquid that is capable of being stored 
in a storage vessel, determined by multiplying the vessel's internal 
cross-sectional area by the internal height of the shell.
    Closed vent system means a system that is not open to the atmosphere 
and is composed of piping, ductwork, connections, and, if necessary, 
flow inducing devices that transport gas or vapor from an emission point 
to a control device. A closed vent system does not include the vapor 
collection system that is part of any tank truck or railcar or the 
loading arm or hose that is used for vapor return. For transfer racks, 
the closed vent system begins at, and includes, the first block valve on 
the downstream side of the loading arm or hose used to convey displaced 
vapors.
    Combined vent stream means a combination of emission streams from 
continuous and/or batch unit operations.

device, recovery device, recapture device, or any combination of these 
devices used to comply with this subpart or a referencing subpart. For 
process vents from continuous unit operations at affected sources in 
source categories where the applicability criteria includes a TRE index 
value, recovery devices are not considered to be control devices. 
Primary condensers on steam strippers or fuel gas systems are not 
considered to be control devices.

reflux drums, and condenser(s) including ejector condenser(s) associated 
with a distillation unit.
    Distillation unit means a device or vessel in which one or more feed 
streams are separated into two or more exit streams, each exit stream 
having component concentrations different from those in the feed 
stream(s). The separation is achieved by the redistribution of the 
components between the liquid and the vapor phases by vaporization and 
condensation as they approach equilibrium within the distillation unit. 
Distillation unit includes the distillate receiver, reboiler, and any 
associated vacuum pump or steam jet.
    Emission point means an individual process vent, storage vessel, 
transfer rack, wastewater stream, kiln, fiber spinning line, equipment 
leak, or other point where a gaseous stream is released.

different chemical products periodically by alternating raw materials or 
operating conditions.
    Fuel gas means gases that are combusted to derive useful work or 
heat.
    Fuel gas system means the offsite and onsite piping and flow and 
pressure control system that gathers gaseous stream(s) generated by

Maintenance wastewater can be generated during planned and unplanned 
shutdowns and during periods not associated with a shutdown. Examples of 
activities that can generate maintenance wastewaters include descaling 
of heat exchanger tubing bundles, cleaning of distillation column traps, 
draining of low legs and high point bleeds, draining of pumps into an 
individual drain system, and draining of portions of the process unit, 
whose primary product is a product produced by a source category subject 
to this subpart, for repair.
    Malfunction means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably 
preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process 
equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner. Failures 
that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are 
not malfunctions.
    Maximum true vapor pressure means the equilibrium partial pressure 
exerted by the total organic HAP in the stored or transferred liquid at 
the temperature equal to the highest calendar-month average of the 
liquid storage or transfer temperature for liquids stored or transferred 
above or below the ambient temperature or at the local maximum monthly 
average temperature as reported by the National Weather Service for 
liquids stored or transferred at the ambient temperature, as determined:

    Point of determination means each point where process wastewater 
exits the process unit, whose primary product is a product produced by a 
source category subject to this subpart.

    Note to definition for point of determination: The regulation allows 
determination of the characteristics of a wastewater stream at the point 
of determination or downstream of the point of determination if 
corrections are made for changes in flow rate and annual average 
concentration of Table 9 compounds (as defined under this subpart) as 
determined in Sec. 63.144. Such changes include losses by air emissions, 
reduction of annual average concentration or changes in flow rate by

production from a process unit, or part of a process unit, for less than 
24 hours.
    (2) An unscheduled work practice or operational procedure that would 
stop production from a process unit, or part of a process unit, for a 
shorter period of time than would be required to clear the process unit, 
or part of the process unit, of materials and start up the unit and

operation that is not a front end process vent up to the final 
separation of raw materials and by-products from the stabilized polymer.
    Front end process vent means any process vent from a continuous unit 
operation involved in the purification of formaldehyde feedstock for use 
in the acetal homopolymer process. All front end process vents are 
restricted to those vents that occur prior to the polymer reactor.
    (3) Requirements. Table 1 of this section specifies the acetal 
resins production standards applicability for existing and new sources. 
Applicability assessment procedures and methods are specified in 
Secs. 63.1104 through 63.1107. An owner or operator of an affected 
source is not required to perform tests, TRE calculations or other 
applicability assessment procedures if they opt to comply with the most 
stringent requirements for an applicable emission point pursuant to this 
subpart. General compliance, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements 
are specified in Secs. 63.1108 through 63.1112. Procedures for approval 
of alternative means of emission limitations are specified in 
Sec. 63.1113. The owner or operator must control organic HAP emissions 
from each affected source emission point by meeting the applicable 
requirements specified in table 1 of this section.

    (2) Definitions.
    Acrylic fiber means a manufactured synthetic fiber in which the 
fiber-forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of 
at least 85 percent by weight of acrylonitrile units.
    Acrylic and modacrylic fibers production means the production of 
either of the following synthetic fibers composed of acrylonitrile 
units:
    (i) Acrylic fiber.
    (ii) Modacrylic fiber.
    Acrylonitrile solution polymerization means a process where 
acrylonitrile and comonomers are dissolved in a solvent to form a 
polymer solution (typically polyacrylonitrile). The polyacrylonitrile is 
soluble in the solvent. In contrast to suspension polymerization, the 
resulting reactor polymer solution (spin dope) is filtered and pumped 
directly to the fiber spinning process.
    Acrylonitrile suspension polymerization means a polymerization 
process where small drops of acrylonitrile and comonomers are suspended 
in water in the presence of a catalyst where they polymerize under 
agitation. Solid beads of polymer are formed in this suspension reaction 
which are subsequently filtered, washed, refiltered, and dried. The 
beads must be subsequently redissolved in a solvent to create a spin 
dope prior to introduction to the fiber spinning process.
    Fiber spinning line means the group of equipment and process vents 
associated with acrylic or modacrylic fiber spinning operations. The 
fiber spinning line includes (as applicable to the type of spinning 
process used) the blending and dissolving tanks, spinning solution 
filters, wet spinning units, spin bath tanks, and the equipment used 
downstream of the spin bath to wash, dry, or draw the spun fiber.
    Modacrylic fiber means a manufactured synthetic fiber in which the 
fiber-forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of 
at least 35 percent by weight of acrylonitrile units but less than 85 
percent by weight of acrylonitrile units.
    Spin dope means the liquid mixture of polymer and solvent that is 
fed to the spinneret to form the acrylic and modacrylic fibers.
    (3) Requirements. An owner or operator of an affected source must 
comply with the requirements of paragraph (b)(3)(i) or (ii) of this 
section.
    (i) Table 2 of this section specifies the acrylic and modacrylic 
fiber production source category control requirement applicability for 
both existing and new sources. Applicability assessment procedures and 
methods are specified in Secs. 63.1104 through 63.1107. An owner or 
operator of an affected source is not required to perform tests, or 
other applicability assessment procedures if they opt to comply with the 
most stringent requirements for an applicable emission point pursuant to 
this subpart. General compliance, recordkeeping, and reporting 
requirements are specified in Secs. 63.1108 through 63.1112. Procedures 
for approval of alternative means of emission limitations are specified 
in Sec. 63.1113. The owner or operator must control organic HAP 
emissions from each affected source emission point by meeting the 
applicable requirements specified in table 2 of this section.

    (D) Equipment in hydrogen fluoride service (as defined in paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section).
    (ii) Compliance schedule. The compliance schedule, for affected 
sources as defined in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section, is specified 
in Sec. 63.1102(a).
    (2) Definitions.
    Connector means flanged, screwed, or other joined fittings used to 
connect two pipelines or a pipeline and a piece of equipment. A common 
connector is a flange. Joined fittings welded completely around the 
circumference of the interface are not considered connectors for the 
purposes of this subpart.
    Equipment means each pump, compressor, agitator, pressure relief 
device, sampling connection system, open-ended valve or line, valve, 
connector, and instrumentation system in hydrogen fluoride service; and 
any control devices or closed-vent systems used to comply with this 
subpart.
    Hydrogen fluoride production means a process engaged in the 
production and recovery of hydrogen fluoride by reacting calcium 
fluoride with sulfuric acid. For the purpose of implementing this 
subpart, hydrogen fluoride production is not a process that produces 
gaseous hydrogen fluoride for direct reaction with hydrated aluminum to 
form aluminum fluoride (i.e., the hydrogen fluoride is not recovered as 
an intermediate or final product prior to reacting with the hydrated 
aluminum).
    In hydrogen fluoride service means that a piece of equipment either 
contains or contacts a hydrogen fluoride process fluid (liquid or gas).
    In vacuum service means that equipment is operating at an internal 
pressure which is at least 5 kilopascals below ambient pressure.
    Instrumentation system means a group of equipment components used to 
condition and convey a sample of the process fluid to analyzers and 
instruments for the purpose of determining process operating conditions 
(e.g., composition, pressure, flow, etc.). Valves and connectors are the 
predominant type of equipment used in instrumentation systems; however, 
other types of equipment may also be included in these systems.
    Kiln seal means the mechanical or hydraulic seals at both ends of 
the kiln, designed to prevent the infiltration of moisture and air 
through the interface of the rotating kiln and stationary pipes and 
equipment attached to the kiln during normal vacuum operation of the 
kiln (operation at an internal pressure of at least 0.25 kilopascal [one 
inch of water] below ambient pressure).
    Leakless pump means a pump whose seals are submerged in liquid, a 
magnetically-driven pump, a pump equipped with a dual mechanical seal 
system that includes a barrier fluid system, a canned pump, or other 
pump that is designed with no externally actuated shaft penetrating the 
pump housing.
    Open-ended valve or line means any valve, except relief valves, 
having one side of the valve seat in contact with process fluid and one 
side open to the atmosphere, either directly or through open piping.
    Pressure release means the emission of materials resulting from the 
system pressure being greater than the set pressure of the relief 
device. This release can be one release or a series of releases over a 
short time period due to a malfunction in the process.
    Pressure relief device or valve means a safety device used to 
prevent operating pressures from exceeding the maximum allowable working 
pressure of the process equipment. A common pressure relief device is a 
spring-loaded pressure

relief valve. Devices that are actuated either by a pressure of less 
than or equal to 2.5 pounds per square inch gauge or by a vacuum are not 
pressure relief devices.
    Relief device or valve means a valve used only to release an 
unplanned, nonroutine discharge. A relief valve discharge can result 
from an operator error, a malfunction such as a power failure or 
equipment failure, or other unexpected cause that requires immediate 
venting of gas from process equipment in order to avoid safety hazards 
or equipment damage.
    Repaired for the purpose of this regulation means equipment is 
adjusted, or otherwise altered, to eliminate a leak identified by 
sensory monitoring.
    Sampling connection system means an assembly of equipment within a 
process unit or affected facility used during periods of representative 
operation to take samples of the process fluid. Equipment used to take 
nonroutine grab samples is not considered a sampling connection system.
    Sensory monitoring means the detection of a potential leak to the 
atmosphere by walk-through visual, audible, or olfactory monitoring. 
Comprehensive component-by-component inspection is not required.
    Shift means the time a shift operator normally works, typically 8 or 
12 hours.
    (3) Requirements. Table 4 of this section specifies the hydrogen 
fluoride production source category applicability and control 
requirements for both existing and new sources. The owner or operator 
must control hydrogen fluoride emissions from each affected source 
emission point as specified in table 4. General compliance, 
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements are specified in Secs. 63.1108 
through 63.1112. Specific monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting 
requirements are specified in table 4. Minimization of emissions from 
startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions, including those resulting from 
kiln seals must be addressed in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan required by Sec. 63.1111; the plan must also establish reporting 
and recordkeeping of such events. Procedures for approval of alternative 
means of emission limitations are specified in Sec. 63.1113.

    (d) Polycarbonate production applicability, definitions, and 
requirements--(1) Applicability--(i) Affected source. For the 
polycarbonate production (as defined in paragraph (d)(2) of this 
section) source category, the affected source shall comprise all 
emission points, in combination, listed in paragraphs (d)(1)(i)(A) 
through (D) of this section, that are part of a polycarbonate production 
process unit located at a major source as defined in

[[Page 511]]

section 112(a) of the Act. For the purposes of this rule, a 
polycarbonate production process unit is a unit that produces 
polycarbonate by interfacial polymerization from bisphenols and 
phosgene. Phosgene production units that are associated with 
polycarbonate production process units are considered to be part of the 
polycarbonate production process. A phosgene production unit consists of 
the reactor in which phosgene is formed and all equipment (listed in 
paragraphs (d)(1)(i)(A) through (D) of this section) downstream of the 
reactor that provides phosgene for the production of polycarbonate. 
Therefore, for the purposes of this rule, such a phosgene production 
unit is considered to be a polycarbonate production process unit.
    (A) All storage vessels that store liquids containing organic HAP.
    (B) All process vents from continuous and batch unit operations.
    (C) All wastewater streams.
    (D) Equipment (as defined in Sec. 63.1101 of this subpart) that 
contains or contacts organic HAP.
    (ii) Compliance schedule. The compliance schedule, for affected 
sources as defined in paragraph (d)(1)(i) of this section, is specified 
in Sec. 63.1102(a).
    (2) Definitions.
    Polycarbonate production means a process engaged in the production 
of a special class of polyester formed from any dihydroxy compound and 
any carbonate diester or by ester exchange. Polycarbonate may be 
produced by solution or emulsion polymerization, although other methods 
may be used. A typical method for the manufacture of polycarbonate 
includes the reaction of bisphenol-A with phosgene in the presence of 
pyridine or other catalyst to form polycarbonate. Methylene chloride or 
other solvents are used in this polymerization reaction.
    (3) Requirements. Tables 5 and 6 of this section specify the 
applicability criteria and standards for existing and new sources within 
the polycarbonate production source category. The owner or operator must 
control organic HAP emissions from each affected source emission point 
by meeting the applicable requirements specified in tables 5 and 6. 
Applicability assessment procedures and methods are specified in 
Secs. 63.1104 through 63.1107. An owner or operator of an affected 
source is not required to perform tests, TRE calculations or other 
applicability assessment procedures if they opt to comply with the most 
stringent requirements for an applicable emission point pursuant to this 
subpart. General compliance, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements 
are specified in Secs. 63.1108 through 63.1112. Procedures for approval 
of alternative means of emission limitations are specified in 
Sec. 63.1113.

a Combined vent streams shall use the applicability determination
  procedures and methods for process vents from continuous unit
  operations (Sec.  63.1104).
b The TRE equation coefficients for halogenated streams (table 1 of Sec.
   63.1104(j)(1)) shall be used to calculate the TRE index value.
c The TRE is determined according to the procedures specified in Sec.
  63.1104(j). If a dryer is manifolded with such vents, and the vent is
  routed to a recovery, recapture, or combustion device, then the TRE
  index value for the vent must be calculated based on the properties of
  the vent stream (including the contributions of the dryer). If a dryer
  is manifolded with other vents and not routed to a recovery,
  recapture, or combustion device, then the TRE index value must be
  calculated excluding the contributions of the dryer. The TRE index
  value for the dryer must be calculated separately in this case.
d The mass emission rate of halogen atoms contained in organic compounds
  is determined according to the procedures specified in Sec.
  63.1104(i).
e The weight-percent organic HAP is determined for equipment according
  to procedures specified in Sec.  63.1107.

a Combined vent streams shall use the applicability determination
  procedures and methods for process vents from continuous unit
  operations (Sec.  63.1104).
b The TRE equation coefficients for halogenated streams (table 7 of this
  subpart) shall be used to calculate the TRE index value.
c The TRE is determined according to the procedures specified in Sec.
  63.1104(j). If a dryer is manifolded with such vents, and the vent is
  routed to a recovery, recapture, or combustion device, then the TRE
  index value for the vent must be calculated based on the properties of
  the vent stream (including the contributions of the dryer). If a dryer
  is manifolded with other vents and not routed to a recovery,
  recapture, or combustion device, then the TRE index value must be
  calculated excluding the contributions of the dryer. The TRE index
  value for the dryer must be calculated separately in this case.
d The mass emission rate of halogen atoms contained in organic compounds
  is determined according to the procedures specified in Sec.
  63.1104(i).
e The weight-percent organic HAP is determined for equipment according
  to procedures specified in Sec.  63.1107.

Sec. 63.1104  Process vents from continuous unit operations: applicability assessment procedures and methods.

    (a) General. The provisions of this section provide calculation and 
measurement methods for criteria that are required by Sec. 63.1103 to be 
used to determine applicability of the control requirements for process 
vents from continuous unit operations. The owner or operator of a 
process vent is not required to determine the criteria specified for a 
process vent that is being controlled in accordance with the applicable 
weight-percent or TOC concentration requirement in Sec. 63.1103.
    (b) Sampling sites. For purposes of determining process vent 
applicability criteria, the sampling site shall be located as specified 
in (b)(1) through (4) of this section, as applicable.
    (1) Sampling site location if TRE determination is required. If the 
applicability criteria specified in the applicable table of Sec. 63.1103 
includes a TRE index value, the sampling site for determining volumetric 
flow rate, regulated organic HAP concentration, total organic HAP or TOC 
concentration, heating value, and TRE index value, shall be after the 
final recovery device (if any recovery devices are present) but prior to 
the inlet of any control device that is present, and prior to release to 
the atmosphere.
    (2) Sampling site location if TRE determination is not required. If 
the applicability criteria specified in the applicable table of 
Sec. 63.1103 does not include a TRE index value, the sampling site for 
determining volumetric flow rate, regulated organic HAP concentration, 
total organic HAP or TOC concentration, and any other specified 
parameter shall be at the exit from the unit operation before any 
control device.
    (3) Sampling site selection method. Method 1 or 1A of 40 CFR part 
60, appendix A, as appropriate, shall be used for selection of the 
sampling site. No traverse site selection method is needed for process 
vents smaller than 0.10 meter (0.33 foot) in nominal inside diameter.
    (4) Sampling site when a halogen reduction device is used prior to a 
combustion device. An owner or operator using a scrubber to reduce the 
process vent halogen atom mass emission rate to less than 0.45 kilograms 
per hour (0.99 pound per hour) prior to a combustion control device in 
compliance with Sec. 63.1103 (as appropriate) shall determine the 
halogen atom mass emission rate prior to the combustion device according 
to the procedures in paragraph (i) of this section.
    (c) Applicability assessment requirement. The TOC or organic HAP 
concentrations, process vent volumetric flow rates, process vent heating 
values, process vent TOC or organic HAP emission rates, halogenated 
process vent determinations, process vent TRE index values, and 
engineering assessment process vent control applicability assessment 
requirements are to be determined during maximum representative 
operating conditions for the process, except as provided in paragraph 
(d) of this section, or unless the Administrator specifies or approves 
alternate operating conditions. Operations during periods of startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction shall not constitute representative conditions 
for the purpose of an applicability test.
    (d) Exceptions. For a process vent stream that consists of at least 
one process vent from a batch unit operation manifolded with at least 
one process vent from a continuous unit operation, the TRE shall be 
calculated during periods when one or more batch emission episodes are 
occurring that result in the highest organic HAP emission rate (in the 
combined vent stream that is being routed to the recovery device) that 
is achievable during the 6-month period that begins 3 months before and 
ends 3 months after the TRE calculation, without causing

[[Page 517]]

any of the situations described in paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) to 
occur.
    (1) Causing damage to equipment;
    (2) Necessitating that the owner or operator make product that does 
not meet an existing specification for sale to a customer; or
    (3) Necessitating that the owner or operator make produce in excess 
of demand.
    (e) TOC or Organic HAP concentration. The TOC or organic HAP 
concentrations, used for TRE index value calculations in paragraph (j) 
of this section, shall be determined based on paragraph (e)(1), (e)(2) 
or (k) of this section, or any other method or data that have been 
validated according to the protocol in method 301 of appendix A of this 
part. For concentrations needed for comparison with the appropriate 
control applicability concentrations specified in Sec. 63.1103, TOC or 
organic HAP concentration shall be determined based on paragraph (e)(1), 
(e)(2), or (k) of this section or any other method or data that has been 
validated according to the protocol in method 301 of appendix A of this 
part. The owner or operator shall record the TOC or organic HAP 
concentration as specified in paragraph (l)(3) of this section.
    (1) Method 18. The procedures specified in paragraph (e)(1)(i) and 
(ii) of this section shall be used to calculate parts per million by 
volume concentration using method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A:
    (i) The minimum sampling time for each run shall be 1 hour in which 
either an integrated sample or four grab samples shall be taken. If grab 
sampling is used, then the samples shall be taken at approximately equal 
intervals in time, such as 15-minute intervals during the run.
    (ii) The concentration of either TOC (minus methane and ethane) or 
regulated organic HAP emissions shall be calculated according to 
paragraph (e)(1)(ii)(A) or (B) of this section, as applicable.
    (A) The TOC concentration (CTOC) is the sum of the 
concentrations of the individual components and shall be computed for 
each run using Equation 1:

[64 FR 63701, Nov. 22, 1999]



Sec. 63.1107  Equipment leaks: applicability assessment procedures and methods.

    (a) Each piece of equipment within a process unit that can 
reasonably be expected to contain equipment in organic HAP service is 
presumed to be in organic HAP service unless an owner or

[[Page 527]]

operator demonstrates that the piece of equipment is not in organic HAP 
service. For a piece of equipment to be considered not in organic HAP 
service, it must be determined that the percent organic HAP content can 
be reasonably expected not to exceed the percent by weight control 
applicability criteria specified in Sec. 63.1103 for an affected source 
on an annual average basis. For purposes of determining the percent 
organic HAP content of the process fluid that is contained in or 
contacts equipment, Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall be 
used.
    (b) An owner or operator may use good engineering judgment rather 
than the procedures in paragraph (a) of this section to determine that 
the percent organic HAP content does not exceed the percent by weight 
control applicability criteria specified in Sec. 63.1103 for an affected 
source. When an owner or operator and the Administrator do not agree on 
whether a piece of equipment is not in organic HAP service, however, the 
procedures in paragraph (a) of this section shall be used to resolve the 
disagreement.
    (c) If an owner or operator determines that a piece of equipment is 
in organic HAP service, the determination can be revised after following 
the procedures in paragraph (a) of this section, or by documenting that 
a change in the process or raw materials no longer causes the equipment 
to be in organic HAP service.
    (d) Samples used in determining the percent organic HAP content 
shall be representative of the process fluid that is contained in or 
contacts the equipment.



Sec. 63.1108  Compliance with standards and operation and maintenance requirements.

    (a) Requirements. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this 
section, the emission limitations and established parameter ranges of 
this part shall apply at all times except during periods of startup, 
shutdown, malfunction, or non-operation of the affected source (or 
specific portion thereof) resulting in cessation of the emissions to 
which this subpart applies. During periods of startup, shutdown, or 
malfunction, the owner or operator shall follow the applicable 
provisions of the startup, shutdown, malfunction plan required by 
Sec. 63.1111. However, if a startup, shutdown, malfunction or period of 
non-operation of one portion of an affected source does not affect the 
ability of a particular emission point to comply with the specific 
provisions to which it is subject, then that emission point shall still 
be required to comply with the applicable provisions of this subpart and 
any of the subparts that are referenced by this subpart during startup, 
shutdown, malfunction, or period of non-operation.
    (2) If equipment leak requirements are referenced by this subpart 
for a subject source category, such requirements shall apply at all 
times except during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, 
process unit shutdown (as defined in Sec. 63.1101), or non-operation of 
the affected source (or specific portion thereof) in which the lines are 
drained and depressurized resulting in cessation of the emissions to 
which the equipment leak requirements apply.
    (3) For batch unit operations, shutdown does not include the normal 
periods between batch cycles; and startup does not include the 
recharging of batch unit operations, or the transitional conditions due 
to changes in product.
    (4) [Reserved]
    (5) During startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions when the emission 
standards of this subpart and the subparts referenced by this subpart do 
not apply pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section, the 
owner or operator shall implement, to the extent reasonably available, 
measures to prevent or minimize excess emissions. The measures to be 
taken shall be identified in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
(if applicable), and may include, but are not limited to, air pollution 
control technologies, recovery technologies, work practices, pollution 
prevention, monitoring, and/or changes in the manner of operation of the 
affected source. Back-up control devices are not required, but may be 
used if available. Compliance with an inadequate startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan developed pursuant to Sec. 63.1111 is not a shield for 
failing to

[[Page 528]]

comply with good operation and maintenance requirements.
    (6) Malfunctions shall be corrected as soon as practical after their 
occurrence and/or in accordance with the source's startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction plan developed as specified under Sec. 63.1111.
    (7) Operation and maintenance requirements established pursuant to 
section 112 of the Act are enforceable, independent of emissions 
limitations or other requirements in relevant standards.
    (b) Compliance assessment procedures. (1) Parameter monitoring: 
compliance with operating conditions. Compliance with the required 
operating conditions for the monitored control devices or recovery 
devices may be determined by, but is not limited to, the parameter 
monitoring data for emission points that are required to perform 
continuous monitoring. For each excursion except for excused excursions 
(as described in Sec. 63.998(b)(6)(ii)), and as provided for in 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section the owner or operator shall be deemed 
to have failed to have applied the control in a manner that achieves the 
required operating conditions.
    (2) Parameter monitoring: Excursions. An excursion is not a 
violation in cases where continuous monitoring is required and the 
excursion does not count toward the number of excused excursions (as 
described in Sec. 63.998(b)(6)(ii)), if the conditions of paragraph 
(b)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section are met. Nothing in this paragraph 
shall be construed to allow or excuse a monitoring parameter excursion 
caused by any activity that violates other applicable provisions of this 
subpart or a subpart referenced by this subpart.
    (i) During periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction (and the 
source is operated during such periods in accordance with the source's 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan as required by Sec. 63.1111), or
    (ii) During periods of non-operation of the affected source or 
portion thereof (resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the 
monitoring applies).
    (3) Operation and maintenance procedures. Determination of whether 
acceptable operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be 
based on information available to the Administrator. This information 
may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of 
operation and maintenance procedures (including the startup, shutdown, 
and malfunction plan under Sec. 63.1111), review of operation and 
maintenance records, and inspection of the affected source, and 
alternatives approved as specified in Sec. 63.1113.
    (4) Applicability and compliance assessment procedures. 
Applicability and compliance with standards shall be governed by, in 
part, but not limited to, the use of data, tests, and requirements 
according to paragraphs (b)(4)(i) through (iii) of this section. 
Compliance with design, equipment, work practice, and operating 
standards, including those for equipment leaks, shall be determined 
according to paragraph (b)(5) of this section.
    (i) Applicability assessments. Unless otherwise specified in a 
relevant test method required to assess control applicability, each test 
shall consist of three separate runs using the applicable test method. 
Each run shall be conducted for the time and under the conditions 
specified in this subpart. The arithmetic mean of the results of the 
three runs shall apply when assessing applicability. Upon receiving 
approval from the Administrator, results of a test run may be replaced 
with results of an additional test run if it meets the criteria 
specified in paragraphs (a)(4)(i)(A) through (D) of this section.
    (A) A sample is accidentally lost after the testing team leaves the 
site; or
    (B) Conditions occur in which one of the three runs must be 
discontinued because of forced shutdown; or
    (C) Extreme meteorological conditions occur;
    (D) Other circumstances occur that are beyond the owner or 
operator's control.
    (ii) Performance test. The Administrator may determine compliance 
with emission limitations of this subpart based on, but not limited to, 
the results of performance tests conducted according to the procedures 
specified in Sec. 63.997 of this part, unless otherwise specified in 
this subpart or a subpart referenced by this subpart.

[[Page 529]]

    (iii) Operation and maintenance requirements. The Administrator may 
determine compliance with the operation and maintenance standards of 
this subpart by, but not limited to, evaluation of an owner or 
operator's conformance with operation and maintenance requirements, 
including the evaluation of monitoring data, as specified in this 
subpart or a subpart referenced by this subpart.
    (5) Design, equipment, work practice, or operational standards. The 
Administrator may determine compliance with design, equipment, work 
practice, or operational requirements by, but is not limited to, review 
of records, inspection of the affected source, and by evaluation of an 
owner or operator's conformance with operation and maintenance 
requirements as specified in this subpart, and in the subparts 
referenced by this subpart.
    (c) Finding of compliance. The Administrator may make a finding 
concerning an affected source's compliance with an emission standard or 
operating and maintenance requirement as specified in, but not limited 
to, paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, upon obtaining all of the 
compliance information required by the relevant standard (including the 
written reports of performance test results, monitoring results, and 
other information, if applicable) and any information available to the 
Administrator to determine whether proper operation and maintenance 
practices are being used. Standards in this subpart and methods of 
determining compliance are in metric units followed by the equivalents 
in English units. The Administrator will make findings of compliance 
with the numerical standards of this subpart using metric units.
    (d) Compliance time. All terms that define a period of time for 
completion of required tasks (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly, 
annually), unless specified otherwise in the section or subsection that 
imposes the requirement, refer to the standard calendar periods.
    (1) Notwithstanding time periods specified for completion of 
required tasks, time periods may be changed by mutual agreement between 
the owner or operator and the Administrator, as specified in 
Sec. 63.1110(h). For each time period that is changed by agreement, the 
revised period shall remain in effect until it is changed. A new request 
is not necessary for each recurring period.
    (2) When the period specified for compliance is a standard calendar 
period, if the initial compliance date occurs after the beginning of the 
period, compliance shall be required according to the schedule specified 
in paragraph (d)(2) (i) or (ii) of this section, as appropriate.
    (i) Compliance shall be required before the end of the standard 
calendar period within which the compliance deadline occurs, if there 
remain at least 3 days for tasks that must be performed weekly, at least 
2 weeks for tasks that must be performed monthly, at least 1 month for 
tasks that must be performed each quarter, or at least 3 months for 
tasks that must be performed annually; or
    (ii) In all other cases, compliance shall be required before the end 
of the first full standard calendar period after the period within which 
the initial compliance deadline occurs.
    (3) In all instances where a provision requires completion of a task 
during each of multiple successive periods, an owner or operator may 
perform the required task at any time during the specified period, 
provided the task is conducted at a reasonable interval after completion 
of the task during the previous period.

    (h) Adjustment to timing of submittals and review of required 
communications. (1) Alignment with title V submission. An owner or 
operator may submit Periodic Reports required by this subpart on the 
same schedule as the title V periodic report for the facility. The owner 
or operator using this option need not obtain prior approval, but must 
ensure that no reporting gaps occur. The owner or operator shall clearly 
identify the change in reporting schedule in the first report filed 
under this paragraph. The requirements of paragraph (f) of this section 
are not waived when implementing this change.
    (2) Establishment of a common schedule. An owner or operator may 
arrange by mutual agreement (which may be a standing agreement) with the 
Administrator a common schedule on which periodic reports required by 
this subpart shall be submitted throughout the year as long as the 
reporting period is not extended. Procedures governing the 
implementation of this provision are specified in paragraphs (h)(3) 
through (7) of this section.
    (3) Submission requirements. Except as allowed by paragraph (h)(1) 
of this section, until an adjustment of a time period or postmark 
deadline has been approved by the Administrator under paragraphs (h)(5) 
and (6) of this section, the owner or operator of an affected source 
remains strictly subject to the required submittal deadlines specified 
in this subpart and subparts referenced by this subpart.
    (4) Request for adjustment of reporting schedule. Except as allowed 
by paragraph (h)(1) of this section, an owner or operator shall request 
the adjustment provided for in paragraphs (h)(5) and (6) of this section 
each time he or she wishes to change an applicable time period or 
postmark deadline specified in this subpart or subparts referenced by 
this subpart. A request for a change to the periodic reporting schedule 
need only be made once for every schedule change and not once for every 
semiannual report submitted.
    (5) Alteration of time periods or deadlines. Notwithstanding time 
periods or postmark deadlines specified in this subpart for the 
submittal of information to the Administrator by an owner or operator, 
or the review of such information by the Administrator, such time 
periods or deadlines may be changed by mutual agreement between the 
owner or operator and the Administrator. An owner or operator who wishes 
to request a change in a time period or postmark deadline for a 
particular requirement shall request the adjustment in writing as soon 
as practical before the subject activity is required to take place. The 
owner or operator shall include in the request whatever information he 
or she considers useful to convince the Administrator that an adjustment 
is warranted.
    (6) Approval of request for adjustment. If, in the Administrator's 
judgment, an owner or operator's request for an adjustment to a 
particular time period or postmark deadline is warranted, the 
Administrator will approve the adjustment. The Administrator will notify 
the owner or operator in writing of approval or disapproval of the 
request for an adjustment within 15 calendar days of receiving 
sufficient information to evaluate the request.
    (7) Notification of delay. If the Administrator is unable to meet a 
specified deadline, he or she will notify the owner or operator of any 
significant delay and inform the owner or operator of the amended 
schedule.

Sec. 63.1111  Startup, shutdown, and malfunction.

    (a) Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan. (1) Description and 
purpose of plan. The owner or operator of an affected source shall 
develop and implement a

[[Page 533]]

written startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan that describes, in 
detail, procedures for operating and maintaining the affected source 
during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. This plan shall 
also include a program of corrective action for malfunctioning process 
and air pollution control equipment used to comply with relevant 
standards under this subpart. The plan shall also address routine or 
otherwise predictable CPMS malfunctions. This plan shall be developed by 
the owner or operator by the affected source's compliance date under 
this subpart. The requirement to develop and implement this plan shall 
be incorporated into the source's title V permit. This requirement is 
optional for equipment that must comply with subparts TT or UU under 
this subpart. It is not optional for equipment equipped with a closed 
vent system and control device subject to this subpart and subpart SS of 
this part. The purpose of the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is 
described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section.
    (i) To ensure that owners or operators are prepared to correct 
malfunctions as soon as practical after their occurrence, in order to 
minimize excess emissions of regulated organic HAP; and
    (ii) To reduce the reporting burden associated with periods of 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (including corrective action taken to 
restore malfunctioning process and air pollution control equipment to 
its normal or usual manner of operation).
    (2) Operation of source. During periods of startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction, the owner or operator of an affected source subject to this 
subpart shall operate and maintain such affected source (including 
associated air pollution control equipment and CPMS) in accordance with 
the procedures specified in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
developed under paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
    (3) Use of additional procedures. To satisfy the requirements of 
this section to develop a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the 
owner or operator of an affected source may use the affected source's 
standard operating procedures (SOP) manual, or an Occupational Safety 
and Health Administration (OSHA) or other plan, provided the alternative 
plans meet all the requirements of this section and are made available 
for inspection when requested by the Administrator.
    (4) Revisions to the plan. Based on the results of a determination 
made under Sec. 63.1108(b)(3), the Administrator may require that an 
owner or operator of an affected source make changes to the startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan for that source. The Administrator may 
require reasonable revisions to a startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
plan if the Administrator finds that the plan is inadequate as specified 
in paragraphs (a)(4)(i) through (iv) of this section:
    (i) Does not address a startup, shutdown, and malfunction event of 
the CPMS, the air pollution control equipment, or the affected source 
that has occurred; or
    (ii) Fails to provide for the operation of the affected source 
(including associated air pollution control equipment and CPMS) during a 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction event in a manner consistent with 
good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions to the 
extent practical; or
    (iii) Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting 
malfunctioning process and air pollution control equipment as quickly as 
practicable; or
    (iv) Does not provide adequate measures to prevent or minimize 
excess emissions to the extent practical as specified in 
Sec. 63.1108(a)(5).
    (5) Additional malfunction plan requirements. If the startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan fails to address or inadequately 
addresses an event that meets the characteristics of a malfunction but 
was not included in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan at the 
time the owner or operator developed the plan, the owner or operator 
shall revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan within 45 days 
after the event to include detailed procedures for operating and 
maintaining the affected source during similar malfunction events and a 
program of corrective action for similar malfunctions of process or air 
pollution control equipment or CPMS.

[[Page 534]]

    (b) Startup, shutdown, and malfunction reporting requirements. (1) 
Periodic startup, shutdown, and malfunction reporting requirements. If 
actions taken by an owner or operator during a startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction of an affected source, or of a control device or monitoring 
system required for compliance (including actions taken to correct a 
malfunction) are consistent with the procedures specified in the 
affected source's plan, then the owner or operator shall state such 
information in a startup, shutdown, and malfunction report. During the 
reporting period, reports shall only be required for startups, 
shutdowns, and malfunctions during which excess emissions, as defined in 
Sec. 63.1108(a)(5), occur during the reporting period. A startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction report can be submitted as part of a Periodic 
Report required under Sec. 63.1110(a)(5), or on a more frequent basis if 
specified otherwise under this subpart or a subpart referenced by this 
subpart or as established otherwise by the permitting authority in the 
affected source's title V permit. The startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
report shall be delivered or postmarked by the 30th day following the 
end of each calendar half (or other calendar reporting period, as 
appropriate), unless the information is submitted with the Periodic 
Report. The report shall include the information specified in paragraphs 
(b)(1)(i) through (b)(1)(iv) of this section.
    (i) The name, title, and signature of the owner or operator or other 
responsible official certifying its accuracy.
    (ii) The number of startup, shutdown, and malfunction events and the 
total duration of all periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction for 
the reporting period if the total duration amounts to either of the 
durations in paragraphs (b)(1)(ii)(A) or (B) of this section. Records of 
the number of CPMS startup, shutdown, and malfunction events and the 
total duration of all periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction for 
the reporting period are required under Sec. 63.998(c)(1)(ii)(C) and (D) 
of this section.
    (A) Total duration of periods of malfunctioning of a CPMS equal to 
or greater than 5 percent of that CPMS operating time for the reporting 
period; or
    (B) Total duration of periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction 
for an affected source equal to or greater than 1 percent of that 
affected source's operating time for the reporting period.
    (iii) Records documenting each startup, shutdown and malfunction 
event as required under Sec. 63.998(c)(1)(ii)(F).
    (iv) Records documenting the total duration of operating time as 
required under Sec. 63.998(c)(1)(ii)(H).
    (2) Immediate startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports. 
Notwithstanding the allowance to reduce the frequency of reporting for 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports under paragraph (b)(1) of 
this section, any time an action taken by an owner or operator during a 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction (including actions taken to correct a 
malfunction) during which excess emissions occur is not consistent with 
the procedures specified in the affected source's plan, the owner or 
operator shall report the actions taken for that event within 2 working 
days after commencing actions inconsistent with the plan, followed by a 
letter delivered or postmarked within 7 working days after the end of 
the event. The immediate report required under this paragraph shall 
contain the name, title, and signature of the owner or operator or other 
responsible official who is certifying its accuracy, explaining the 
circumstances of the event, the reasons for not following the startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction plan, and whether any excess emissions and/or 
parameter monitoring exceedances are believed to have occurred. 
Notwithstanding the requirements of the previous sentence, after the 
effective date of an approved permit program in the State in which an 
affected source is located, the owner or operator may make alternative 
reporting arrangements, in advance, with the permitting authority in 
that State. Procedures governing the arrangement of alternative 
reporting requirements under this paragraph are specified in 
Sec. 63.1110(h).
    (3) [Reserved]

[[Page 535]]



Sec. 63.1112  Extension of compliance, and performance test, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting waivers and alternatives.

    (a) Extension of compliance. (1) Extension of compliance with 
emission standards. Until an extension of compliance has been granted by 
the Administrator under this paragraph, the owner or operator of an 
affected source subject to the requirements of this subpart shall comply 
with all applicable requirements of this subpart.
    (2) Extension of compliance for early reductions and other 
reductions. (i) Early reductions. Pursuant to section 112(i)(5) of the 
Act, if the owner or operator of an existing source demonstrates that 
the source has achieved a reduction in emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants in accordance with the provisions of subpart D of this part, 
the Administrator will grant the owner or operator an extension of 
compliance with specific requirements of this part, as specified in 
subpart D of this part.
    (ii) Other reductions. Pursuant to section 112(i)(6) of the Act, if 
the owner or operator of an existing source has installed best available 
control technology (BACT) (as defined in section 169(3) of the Act) or 
technology required to meet a lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) (as 
defined in section 171 of the Act) prior to the promulgation of an 
emission standard in this part applicable to such source and the same 
pollutant (or stream of pollutants) controlled pursuant to the BACT or 
LAER installation, the Administrator will grant the owner or operator an 
extension of compliance with such emission standard that will apply 
until the date 5 years after the date on which such installation was 
achieved, as determined by the Administrator.
    (3) Request for extension of compliance. Paragraphs (a)(4) through 
(7) of this section concern requests for an extension of compliance with 
a relevant standard under this part (except requests for an extension of 
compliance under paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section will be handled 
through procedures specified in subpart D of this part).
    (4) Requests for extensions of compliance for section 112 standards. 
(i) Section 112(d) standards. (A) The owner or operator of an existing 
source who is unable to comply with a relevant standard established 
under this part pursuant to section 112(d) of the Act may request that 
the Administrator grant an extension allowing the source up to 1 
additional year to comply with the standard, if such additional period 
is necessary for the installation of controls. The owner or operator of 
an affected source who has requested an extension of compliance under 
this paragraph and who is otherwise required to obtain a title V permit 
shall apply for such permit or apply to have the source's title V permit 
revised to incorporate the conditions of the extension of compliance. 
The conditions of an extension of compliance granted under this 
paragraph will be incorporated into the affected source's title V permit 
according to the provisions of part 70 or Federal title V regulations in 
this chapter (42 U.S.C. 7661), whichever are applicable.
    (B) Any request under this paragraph for an extension of compliance 
with a relevant standard shall be submitted in writing to the 
appropriate authority not later than 12 months before the affected 
source's compliance date (as specified in Sec. 63.1102) for sources that 
are not including emission points in an emissions average, or not later 
than 18 months before the affected source's compliance date (as 
specified in Sec. 63.1102) for sources that are including emission 
points in an emissions average. Emission standards established under 
this part may specify alternative dates for the submittal of requests 
for an extension of compliance if alternatives are appropriate for the 
source categories affected by those standards, e.g., a compliance date 
specified by the standard is less than 12 (or 18) months after the 
standard's effective date.
    (ii) Section 112(f) standards. The owner or operator of an existing 
source unable to comply with a relevant standard established under this 
part pursuant to section 112(f) of the Act may request that the 
Administrator grant an extension allowing the source up to 2 years after 
the standard's effective date to comply with the standard. The 
Administrator may grant such an extension if he/she finds that such 
additional period is necessary for the installation of controls and that 
steps

[[Page 536]]

will be taken during the period of the extension to assure that the 
health of persons will be protected from imminent endangerment. Any 
request for an extension of compliance with a relevant standard under 
this paragraph shall be submitted in writing to the Administrator not 
later than 15 days after the effective date of the relevant standard.
    (5) Requests for extensions of compliance for BACT or LAER. The 
owner or operator of an existing source who has installed BACT or 
technology required to meet LAER (as specified in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) 
of this section) prior to the promulgation of a relevant emission 
standard in this part may request that the Administrator grant an 
extension allowing the source 5 years from the date on which such 
installation was achieved, as determined by the Administrator, to comply 
with the standard. Any request for an extension of compliance with a 
relevant standard under this paragraph shall be submitted in writing to 
the Administrator not later than 120 days after the promulgation date of 
the standard. The Administrator may grant such an extension if he or she 
finds that the installation of BACT or technology to meet LAER controls 
the same pollutant (or stream of pollutants) that would be controlled at 
that source by the relevant emission standard.
    (6) Contents of request. (i) The request for a compliance extension 
under paragraph (a)(4) of this section shall include the following 
information:
    (A) A description of the controls to be installed to comply with the 
standard;
    (B) A compliance schedule, including the date by which each step 
toward compliance will be reached. At a minimum, the list of dates shall 
include:
    (1) The date by which contracts for emission control systems or 
process changes for emission control will be awarded, or the date by 
which orders will be issued for the purchase of component parts to 
accomplish emission control or process changes;
    (2) The date by which on-site construction, installation of emission 
control equipment, or a process change is to be initiated;
    (3) The date by which on-site construction, installation of emission 
control equipment, or a process change is to be completed; and
    (4) The date by which final compliance is to be achieved.
    (C) A description of interim emission control steps, that will be 
taken during the extension period, including milestones to assure proper 
operation and maintenance of emission control and process equipment; and
    (D) Whether the owner or operator is also requesting an extension of 
other applicable requirements (e.g., performance testing requirements).
    (ii) The request for a compliance extension under paragraph (a)(5) 
of this section shall include all information needed to demonstrate to 
the Administrator's satisfaction that the installation of BACT or 
technology to meet LAER controls the same pollutant (or stream of 
pollutants) that would be controlled at that source by the relevant 
emission standard.
    (7) Additional advice. Advice on requesting an extension of 
compliance may be obtained from the Administrator.
    (8) Approval of request for extension of compliance. Paragraphs 
(a)(9) through (14) of this section concern approval of an extension of 
compliance requested under paragraphs (a)(4) through (6) of this 
section.
    (9) General. Based on the information provided in any request made 
under paragraphs (a)(4) through (6) of this section, or other 
information, the Administrator may grant an extension of compliance with 
an emission standard, as specified in paragraphs (a)(4) and (5) of this 
section.
    (10) Contents of extension. The extension will be in writing and 
will--
    (i) Identify each affected source covered by the extension;
    (ii) Specify the termination date of the extension;
    (iii) Specify the dates by which steps toward compliance are to be 
taken, if appropriate;
    (iv) Specify other applicable requirements to which the compliance 
extension applies (e.g., performance tests); and

[[Page 537]]

    (v)(A) Under paragraph (a)(4) of this section, specify any 
additional conditions that the Administrator deems necessary to assure 
installation of the necessary controls and protection of the health of 
persons during the extension period; or
    (B) Under paragraph (a)(5)of this section, specify any additional 
conditions that the Administrator deems necessary to assure the proper 
operation and maintenance of the installed controls during the extension 
period.
    (11) Progress reports. The owner or operator of an existing source 
that has been granted an extension of compliance under paragraph (a)(10) 
of this section may be required to submit to the Administrator progress 
reports indicating whether the steps toward compliance outlined in the 
compliance schedule have been reached. The contents of the progress 
reports and the dates by which they shall be submitted will be specified 
in the written extension of compliance granted under paragraph (a)(9) of 
this section.
    (12) Notifications to owners and operators regarding compliance 
extensions for section 112(d) standards. (i) The Administrator will 
notify the owner or operator in writing of approval or intention to deny 
approval of a request for an extension of compliance within 30 days 
after receipt of sufficient information to evaluate a request submitted

specified for the presentation if no presentation is made.
    (14) Termination of extension. The Administrator may terminate an 
extension of compliance at an earlier date than specified if any 
specification under paragraphs (a)(10)(iii) or (iv) of this section is 
not met.
    (15) [Reserved]
    (16) Administrator's authority. The granting of an extension under 
this section shall not abrogate the Administrator's authority under 
section 114 of the Act.
    (b) Waiver of performance tests. (1) Applicability of this section. 
Until a waiver of a performance testing requirement has been granted by 
the Administrator under this paragraph, the owner or operator of an 
affected source remains subject to the requirements of this section.
    (2) General. Individual performance tests may be waived upon written 
application to the Administrator if, in the Administrator's judgment, 
the source is meeting the relevant standard(s) on a continuous basis, or 
the source is being operated under an extension of compliance, or the 
owner or operator has requested an extension of compliance and the 
Administrator is still considering that request.
    (3) Request to waive a performance test. (i) If a request is made 
for an extension of compliance under paragraph (a) of this section, the 
application for a waiver of an initial performance test shall accompany 
the information required for the request for an extension of compliance. 
If no extension of compliance is requested or if the owner or operator 
has requested an extension of compliance and the Administrator is still 
considering that request, the application for a waiver of an initial 
performance test shall be submitted at least 60 days before the 
performance test if a site-specific test plan is not submitted.
    (ii) If an application for a waiver of a subsequent performance test 
is made, the application may accompany any required compliance progress 
report, compliance status report, or excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance report, but it shall be submitted at least 
60 days before the performance test if a site-specific test plan is not 
submitted.
    (iii) Any application for a waiver of a performance test shall 
include information justifying the owner or operator's request for a 
waiver, such as the technical or economic infeasibility, or the 
impracticality, of the affected source performing the required test.
    (4) Approval of request to waive performance test. The Administrator 
will approve or deny a request for a waiver of a performance test made 
under paragraph (b)(3) of this section when he/she--
    (i) Approves or denies an extension of compliance under paragraph 
(a) of this section; or
    (ii) Approves or disapproves a site-specific test plan; or
    (iii) Makes a determination of compliance following the submission 
of a required compliance status report or excess emissions and 
continuous monitoring systems performance report; or
    (iv) Makes a determination of suitable progress towards compliance 
following the submission of a compliance progress report, whichever is 
applicable.

[[Page 539]]

    (5) Administrator's authority. Approval of any waiver granted under 
this section shall not abrogate the Administrator's authority under the 
Act or in any way prohibit the Administrator from later canceling the 
waiver. The cancellation will be made only after notice is given to the 
owner or operator of the affected source.
    (c) Use of an alternative monitoring method. (1) General. Until 
permission to use an alternative monitoring method has been granted by 
the Administrator under this paragraph, the owner or operator of an 
affected source remains subject to the requirements of this section and 
the relevant standard.
    (2) Alternatives to monitoring methods. After receipt and 
consideration of written application, the Administrator may approve 
alternatives to any monitoring methods or procedures of this part 
including, but not limited to, the following:
    (i) Alternative monitoring requirements when installation of a CMS 
specified by a relevant standard would not provide accurate measurements 
due to liquid water or other interferences caused by substances within 
the effluent gases;
    (ii) Alternative monitoring requirements when the affected source is 
infrequently operated;
    (iii) Alternative monitoring requirements to accommodate CEMS that 
require additional measurements to correct for stack moisture 
conditions;
    (iv) Alternative locations for installing CMS when the owner or 
operator can demonstrate that installation at alternate locations will 
enable accurate and representative measurements;
    (v) Alternate methods for converting pollutant concentration 
measurements to units of the relevant standard;
    (vi) Alternate procedures for performing daily checks of zero (low-
level) and high-level drift that do not involve use of high-level gases 
or test cells;
    (vii) Alternatives to the American Society for Testing and Materials 
(ASTM) test methods or sampling procedures specified by any relevant 
standard;
    (viii) Alternative CMS that do not meet the design or performance 
requirements in this part, but adequately demonstrate a definite and 
consistent relationship between their measurements and the measurements 
of opacity by a system complying with the requirements as specified in 
the relevant standard. The Administrator may require that such 
demonstration be performed for each affected source; or
    (ix) Alternative monitoring requirements when the effluent from a 
single affected source or the combined effluent from two or more 
affected sources is released to the atmosphere through more than one 
point.
    (3) Conflicts between alternative and required methods. If the 
Administrator finds reasonable grounds to dispute the results obtained 
by an alternative monitoring method, requirement, or procedure, the 
Administrator may require the use of a method, requirement, or procedure 
specified in this section or in the relevant standard. If the results of 
the specified and alternative method, requirement, or procedure do not 
agree, the results obtained by the specified method, requirement, or 
procedure shall prevail.
    (4)(i) Request to use alternative monitoring method. An owner or 
operator who wishes to use an alternative monitoring method shall submit 
an application to the Administrator as described in paragraph (c)(4)(ii) 
of this section. The application may be submitted at any time provided 
that the monitoring method is not used to demonstrate compliance with a 
relevant standard or other requirement. If the alternative monitoring 
method is to be used to demonstrate compliance with a relevant standard, 
the application shall be submitted not later than with the site-specific 
test plan required, or with the site-specific performance evaluation 
plan (if requested), or at least 60 days before the performance 
evaluation is scheduled to begin.
    (ii) The application shall contain a description of the proposed 
alternative monitoring system and a performance evaluation test plan, if 
required. In addition, the application shall include information 
justifying the owner or operator's request for an alternative monitoring 
method, such as the technical or economic infeasibility, or the 
impracticality, of the affected source using the required method.

[[Page 540]]

    (iii) The owner or operator may submit the information required in 
this paragraph well in advance of the submittal dates specified in 
paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section to ensure a timely review by the 
Administrator in order to meet the compliance demonstration date 
specified in this section or the relevant standard.
    (5) Approval of request to use alternative monitoring method. (i) 
The Administrator will notify the owner or operator of approval or 
intention to deny approval of the request to use an alternative 
monitoring method within 30 days after receipt of the original request 
and within 30 days after receipt of any supplementary information that 
is submitted. Before disapproving any request to use an alternative 
monitoring method, the Administrator will notify the applicant of the 
Administrator's intention to disapprove the request together with--
    (A) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended 
disapproval is based; and
    (B) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present 
additional information to the Administrator before final action on the 
request. At the time the Administrator notifies the applicant of his or 
her intention to disapprove the request, the Administrator will specify 
how much time the owner or operator will have after being notified of 
the intended disapproval to submit the additional information.
    (ii) The Administrator may establish general procedures and criteria 
in a relevant standard to accomplish the requirements of paragraph 
(c)(5)(i) of this section.
    (iii) If the Administrator approves the use of an alternative 
monitoring method for an affected source under paragraph (c)(5)(i) of 
this section, the owner or operator of such source shall continue to use 
the alternative monitoring method until he or she receives approval from 
the Administrator to use another monitoring method as allowed by this 
subpart or a subpart referenced by this subpart.
    (6) Alternative to the relative accuracy test. An alternative to the 
relative accuracy test for CEMS specified in a relevant standard may be 
requested as follows:
    (i) Criteria for approval of alternative procedures. An alternative 
to the test method for determining relative accuracy is available for 
affected sources with emission rates demonstrated to be less than 50 
percent of the relevant standard. The owner or operator of an affected 
source may petition the Administrator under paragraph (c)(6)(ii) of this 
section to substitute the relative accuracy test in section 7 of 
Performance Specification 2 with the procedures in section 10 if the 
results of a performance test conducted according to the requirements 
specified in this subpart or subpart referenced by this subpart 
demonstrate that the emission rate of the pollutant of interest in the 
units of the relevant standard is less than 50 percent of the relevant 
standard. For affected sources subject to emission limitations expressed 
as control efficiency levels, the owner or operator may petition the 
Administrator to substitute the relative accuracy test with the 
procedures in section 10 of Performance Specification 2 if the control 
device exhaust emission rate is less than 50 percent of the level needed 
to meet the control efficiency requirement. The alternative procedures 
do not apply if the CEMS is used continuously to determine compliance 
with the relevant standard.
    (ii) Petition to use alternative to relative accuracy test. The 
petition to use an alternative to the relative accuracy test shall 
include a detailed description of the procedures to be applied, the 
location and the procedure for conducting the alternative, the 
concentration or response levels of the alternative relative accuracy 
materials, and the other equipment checks included in the alternative 
procedure(s). The Administrator will review the petition for 
completeness and applicability. The Administrator's determination to 
approve an alternative will depend on the intended use of the CEMS data 
and may require specifications more stringent than in Performance 
Specification 2.
    (iii) Rescission of approval to use alternative to relative accuracy 
test. The Administrator will review the permission to use an alternative 
to the CEMS relative accuracy test and may rescind such permission if 
the CEMS data from

[[Page 541]]

a successful completion of the alternative relative accuracy procedure 
indicate that the affected source's emissions are approaching the level 
of the relevant standard. The criterion for reviewing the permission is 
that the collection of CEMS data shows that emissions have exceeded 70 
percent of the relevant standard for any averaging period, as specified 
in the relevant standard. For affected sources subject to emission 
limitations expressed as control efficiency levels, the criterion for 
reviewing the permission is that the collection of CEMS data shows that 
exhaust emissions have exceeded 70 percent of the level needed to meet 
the control efficiency requirement for any averaging period, as 
specified in the relevant standard. The owner or operator of the 
affected source shall maintain records and determine the level of 
emissions relative to the criterion for permission to use an alternative 
for relative accuracy testing. If this criterion is exceeded, the owner 
or operator shall notify the Administrator within 10 days of such 
occurrence and include a description of the nature and cause of the 
increased emissions. The Administrator will review the notification and 
may rescind permission to use an alternative and require the owner or 
operator to conduct a relative accuracy test of the CEMS as specified in 
section 7 of Performance Specification 2.
    (d) Waiver of recordkeeping or reporting requirements. (1) Until a 
waiver of a recordkeeping or reporting requirement has been granted by 
the Administrator under this paragraph, the owner or operator of an 
affected source remains subject to the recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements of this subpart and any subparts referenced by this 
subpart.
    (2) Recordkeeping or reporting requirements may be waived upon 
written application to the Administrator if, in the Administrator's 
judgment, the affected source is achieving the relevant standard(s), or 
the source is operating under an extension of compliance, or the owner 
or operator has requested an extension of compliance and the 
Administrator is still considering that request.
    (3) If an application for a waiver of recordkeeping or reporting is 
made, the application shall accompany the request for an extension of 
compliance under paragraph (a) of this section, any required compliance 
progress report or compliance status report required under this part or 
in the source's title V permit, or an excess emissions and continuous 
monitoring system performance report required under Sec. 63.999(c) or 
another subpart referenced by this subpart, whichever is applicable. The 
application shall include whatever information the owner or operator 
considers useful to convince the Administrator that a waiver of 
recordkeeping or reporting is warranted.
    (4) The Administrator will approve or deny a request for a waiver of 
recordkeeping or reporting requirements under this paragraph when he/
she--
    (i) Approves or denies an extension of compliance under paragraph 
(a) of this section; or
    (ii) Makes a determination of compliance following the submission of 
a required Notification of Compliance Status report or excess emissions 
and continuous monitoring systems performance report; or
    (iii) Makes a determination of suitable progress towards compliance 
following the submission of a compliance progress report, whichever is 
applicable.
    (5) A waiver of any recordkeeping or reporting requirement granted 
under this paragraph may be conditioned on other recordkeeping or 
reporting requirements deemed necessary by the Administrator.
    (6) Approval of any waiver granted under this section shall not 
abrogate the Administrator's authority under the Act or in any way 
prohibit the Administrator from later canceling the waiver. The 
cancellation will be made only after notice is given to the owner or 
operator of the affected source.



Sec. 63.1113  Procedures for approval of alternative means of emission limitation.

    (a) Alternative means of emission limitation. An owner or operator 
of an affected source may request a determination of alternative means 
of emission limitation to the requirements of design, equipment, work 
practice, or operational standards of this subpart

[[Page 542]]

or of a subpart referenced by this subpart. If, in the judgment of the 
Administrator, an alternative means of emission limitation will achieve 
a reduction in HAP emissions at least equivalent to the reduction in 
emissions from that source achieved under any design, equipment, work 
practice, or operational standards (but not performance standards) in 
this subpart, the Administrator will publish in the Federal Register a 
notice permitting the use of the alternative means for purposes of 
compliance with that requirement.
    (1) The notice may condition the permission on requirements related 
to the operation and maintenance of the alternative means.
    (2) Any such notice shall be published only after public notice and 
an opportunity for a hearing.
    (b) Content of submittal. (1) In order to obtain approval, any 
person seeking permission to use an alternative means of compliance 
under this section shall collect, verify, and submit to the 
Administrator information showing that the alternative means achieves 
equivalent emission reductions. An owner or operator of an affected 
source seeking permission to use an alternative means of compliance who 
has not previously performed testing shall also submit a proposed test 
plan. If the owner or operator seeks permission to use an alternative 
means of compliance based on previously performed testing, they shall 
submit the results of testing, a description of the procedures followed 
in testing or monitoring, and a description of pertinent conditions 
during testing or monitoring.
    (2) The owner or operator who requests an alternative means of 
emissions limitation shall submit a description of the proposed testing, 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting that will be used and the 
proposed basis for demonstrating compliance.
    (3) For storage vessels, the owner or operator shall include the 
results of actual emissions tests using full-size or scale-model storage 
vessels that accurately collect and measure all regulated HAP emissions 
using a given control technique, and that accurately simulate wind and 
account for other emission variables such as temperature and barometric 
pressure, or an engineering analysis that the Administrator determines 
to be an accurate method of determining equivalence.
    (4) For proposed alternatives to equipment leak requirements 
referenced by this subpart, the owner or operator shall also submit the 
information specified in and meet the requirements for alternate means 
of emission limitation specified in the referenced subparts.

replacement, or other corrective action is a violation of the 
maintenance requirement of this subpart.
    (vii) The owner or operator shall maintain a record of each 
inspection, including each item identified in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of 
this section, that is signed by the responsible maintenance official and 
that shows the date of each inspection, the problem identified, a 
description of the repair, replacement, or other corrective action 
taken, and the date of the repair, replacement, or other corrective 
action taken.
    (3) The owner or operator of each hydrochloric acid regeneration 
plant shall develop and implement a written maintenance program. The 
program shall require:
    (i) Performance of the manufacturer's recommended maintenance at the 
recommended intervals on all required systems and components;
    (ii) Initiation of procedures for appropriate and timely repair, 
replacement, or other corrective action within 1 working day of 
detection; and
    (iii) Maintenance of a daily record, signed by a responsible 
maintenance official, showing the date of each inspection for each 
requirement, the problems found, a description of the repair, 
replacement, or other action taken, and the date of repair or 
replacement.



Sec. 63.1161  Performance testing and test methods.

    (a) Demonstration of compliance. The owner or operator shall conduct 
an initial performance test for each process or emission control device 
to determine and demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission 
limitation according to the requirements in Sec. 63.7 of subpart A of 
this part and in this section.
    (1) Following approval of the site-specific test plan, the owner or 
operator shall conduct a performance test for each process or control 
device to either measure simultaneously the mass flows of HCl at the 
inlet and the outlet of the control device (to determine compliance with 
the applicable collection efficiency standard) or measure the 
concentration of HCl (and Cl2 for hydrochloric acid 
regeneration plants) in gases exiting the process or the emission 
control device (to determine compliance with the applicable emission 
concentration standard).
    (2) Compliance with the applicable concentration standard or 
collection efficiency standard shall be determined by the average of 
three consecutive runs or by the average of any three of four 
consecutive runs. Each run shall be conducted under conditions 
representative of normal process operations.

[[Page 546]]

    (3) Compliance is achieved if either the average collection 
efficiency as determined by the HCl mass flows at the control device 
inlet and outlet is greater than or equal to the applicable collection 
efficiency standard, or the average measured concentration of HCl or 
Cl2 exiting the process or the emission control device is 
less than or equal to the applicable emission concentration standard.
    (b) Establishment of scrubber operating parameters. During the 
performance test for each emission control device, the owner or operator 
using a wet scrubber to achieve compliance shall establish site-specific 
operating parameter values for the minimum scrubber makeup water flow 
rate and, for scrubbers that operate with recirculation, the minimum 
recirculation water flow rate. During the emission test, each operating 
parameter must be monitored continuously and recorded with sufficient 
frequency to establish a representative average value for that 
parameter, but no less frequently than once every 15 minutes. The owner 
or operator shall determine the operating parameter monitoring values as 
the averages of the values recorded during any of the runs for which 
results are used to establish the emission concentration or collection 
efficiency per paragraph (a)(2) of this section. An owner or operator 
may conduct multiple performance tests to establish alternative 
compliant operating parameter values. Also, an owner or operator may 
reestablish compliant operating parameter values as part of any 
performance test that is conducted subsequent to the initial test or 
tests.
    (c) Establishment of hydrochloric acid regeneration plant operating 
parameters. (1) During the performance test for hydrochloric acid 
regeneration plants, the owner or operator shall establish site-specific 
operating parameter values for the minimum process offgas temperature 
and the maximum proportion of excess air fed to the process as described 
in Sec. 63.1162(b)(1) of this subpart. During the emission test, each 
operating parameter must be monitored and recorded with sufficient 
frequency to establish a representative average value for that 
parameter, but no less frequently than once every 15 minutes for 
parameters that are monitored continuously. Amount of iron in the spent 
pickle liquor shall be determined for each run by sampling the liquor 
every 15 minutes and analyzing a composite of the samples. The owner or 
operator shall determine the compliant monitoring values as the averages 
of the values recorded during any of the runs for which results are used 
to establish the emission concentration per paragraph (a)(2) of this 
section. An owner or operator may conduct multiple performance tests to 
establish alternative compliant operating parameter values. Also, an 
owner or operator may reestablish compliant operating parameter values 
as part of any performance test that is conducted subsequent to the 
initial test or tests.
    (2) During this performance test, the owner or operator of an 
existing affected plant may establish an alternative concentration 
standard if the owner or operator can demonstrate to the Administrator's 
satisfaction that the plant cannot meet a concentration limitation for 
Cl2 of 6 ppmv when operated within its design parameters. The 
alternative concentration standard shall be established through 
performance testing while the plant is operated at maximum design 
temperature and with the minimum proportion of excess air that allows 
production of iron oxide of acceptable quality while measuring the 
Cl2 concentration in the process exhaust gas. The measured 
concentration shall be the concentration standard for that plant.
    (d) Test methods. (1) The following test methods in appendix A of 40 
CFR part 60 shall be used to determine compliance under Sec. 63.1157(a), 
Sec. 63.1157(b), Sec. 63.1158(a), and Sec. 63.1158(b) of this subpart:
    (i) Method 1, to determine the number and location of sampling 
points, with the exception that no traverse point shall be within one 
inch of the stack or duct wall;
    (ii) Method 2, to determine gas velocity and volumetric flow rate;
    (iii) Method 3, to determine the molecular weight of the stack gas;
    (iv) Method 4, to determine the moisture content of the stack gas; 
and

[[Page 547]]

    (v) Method 26A, ``Determination of Hydrogen Halide and Halogen 
Emissions from Stationary Sources--Isokinetic Method,'' to determine the 
HCl mass flows at the inlet and outlet of a control device or the 
concentration of HCl discharged to the atmosphere, and also to determine 
the concentration of Cl2 discharged to the atmosphere from 
acid regeneration plants. If compliance with a collection efficiency 
standard is being demonstrated, inlet and outlet measurements shall be 
performed simultaneously. The minimum sampling time for each run shall 
be 60 minutes and the minimum sample volume 0.85 dry standard cubic 
meters (30 dry standard cubic feet). The concentrations of HCl and 
Cl2 shall be calculated for each run as follows:

CHCl(ppmv) = 0.659 CHCl(mg/dscm),
and CC12(ppmv) = 0.339 CC12(mg/dscm),

where C(ppmv) is concentration in ppmv and C(mg/dscm) is concentration 
in milligrams per dry standard cubic meter as calculated by the 
procedure given in Method 26A.

    (2) The owner or operator may use equivalent alternative measurement 
methods approved by the Administrator.



Sec. 63.1162  Monitoring requirements.

    (a) The owner or operator of a new, reconstructed, or existing steel 
pickling facility or acid regeneration plant subject to this subpart 
shall:
    (1) Conduct performance tests to measure the HCl mass flows at the 
control device inlet and outlet or the concentration of HCl exiting the 
control device according to the procedures described in Sec. 63.1161 of 
this subpart. Performance tests shall be conducted either annually or 
according to an alternative schedule that is approved by the applicable 
permitting authority, but no less frequently than every 2\1/2\ years or 
twice per title V permit term. If any performance test shows that the 
HCl emission limitation is being exceeded, then the owner or operator is 
in violation of the emission limit.
    (2) In addition to conducting performance tests, if a wet scrubber 
is used as the emission control device, install, operate, and maintain 
systems for the measurement and recording of the scrubber makeup water 
flow rate and, if required, recirculation water flow rate. These flow 
rates must be monitored continuously and recorded at least once per 
shift while the scrubber is operating. Operation of the wet scrubber 
with excursions of scrubber makeup water flow rate and recirculation 
water flow rate less than the minimum values established during the 
performance test or tests will require initiation of corrective action 
as specified by the maintenance requirements in Sec. 63.1160(b)(2) of 
this subpart.
    (3) If an emission control device other than a wet scrubber is used, 
install, operate, and maintain systems for the measurement and recording 
of the appropriate operating parameters.
    (4) Failure to record each of the operating parameters listed in 
paragraph (a)(2) of this section is a violation of the monitoring 
requirements of this subpart.
    (5) Each monitoring device shall be certified by the manufacturer to 
be accurate to within 5 percent and shall be calibrated in accordance 
with the manufacturer's instructions but not less frequently than once 
per year.
    (6) The owner or operator may develop and implement alternative 
monitoring requirements subject to approval by the Administrator.
    (b) The owner or operator of a new, reconstructed, or existing acid 
regeneration plant subject to this subpart shall also install, operate, 
and maintain systems for the measurement and recording of the:
    (1) Process offgas temperature, which shall be monitored 
continuously and recorded at least once every shift while the facility 
is operating in production mode; and
    (2) Parameters from which proportion of excess air is determined. 
Proportion of excess air shall be determined by a combination of total 
air flow rate, fuel flow rate, spent pickle liquor addition rate, and 
amount of iron in the spent pickle liquor, or by any other combination 
of parameters approved by the Administrator in accordance with 
Sec. 63.8(f) of subpart A of this part. Proportion of excess air shall 
be determined and recorded at least

[[Page 548]]

once every shift while the plant is operating in production mode.
    (3) Each monitoring device must be certified by the manufacturer to 
be accurate to within 5 percent and must be calibrated in accordance 
with the manufacturer's instructions but not less frequently than once 
per year.
    (4) Operation of the plant with the process offgas temperature lower 
than the value established during performance testing or with the 
proportion of excess air greater than the value established during 
performance testing is a violation of the operational standard specified 
in Sec. 63.1159(a) of this subpart.
    (c) The owner or operator of an affected hydrochloric acid storage 
vessel shall inspect each vessel semiannually to determine that the 
closed-vent system and either the air pollution control device or the 
enclosed loading and unloading line, whichever is applicable, are 
installed and operating when required.

 Subpart DDD--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
                       for Mineral Wool Production

    Source: 64 FR 29503, June 1, 1999, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 63.1175  What is the purpose of this subpart?

    This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous 
air pollutants emitted from existing, new, and reconstructed cupolas and 
curing ovens at facilities that produce mineral wool.



Sec. 63.1176  Where can I find definitions of key words used in this subpart?

    The definitions of key words used in this subpart are in the Clean 
Air Act (Act), in Sec. 63.2 of the general provisions in subpart A of 
this part, and in Sec. 63.1196 of this subpart.



Sec. 63.1177  Am I subject to this subpart?

    You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate an existing, 
new, or reconstructed mineral wool production facility that is located 
at a plant site that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) 
emissions, meaning the plant emits or has the potential to emit any 
single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any 
combination of HAPs at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per 
year.

                                Standards



Sec. 63.1178  For cupolas, what standards must I meet?

    (a) You must control emissions from each cupola as follows:
    (1) Limit emissions of particulate matter (PM) from each existing, 
new, or reconstructed cupola to 0.05 kilograms (kg) of PM per megagram 
(MG) (0.10 pound [lb] of PM per ton) of melt or less.
    (2) Limit emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) from each new or 
reconstructed cupola to either of the following:
    (i) 0.05 kg of CO per MG (0.10 lb of CO per ton) of melt or less.
    (ii) A reduction of uncontrolled CO emissions by at least 99 
percent.
    (b) You must meet the following operating limits for each cupola:
    (1) Begin within one hour after the alarm on a bag leak detection 
system

[[Page 552]]

sounds, and complete in a timely manner, corrective actions as specified 
in your operations, maintenance, and monitoring plan required by 
Sec. 63.1187 of this subpart.
    (2) When the alarm on a bag leak detection system sounds for more 
than five percent of the total operating time in a six-month reporting 
period, develop and implement a written quality improvement plan (QIP) 
consistent with the compliance assurance monitoring requirements of 
Sec. 64.8(b)-(d) of 40 CFR part 64.
    (3) Additionally, for each new or reconstructed cupola, maintain the 
operating temperature of the incinerator so that the average operating 
temperature for each three-hour block period never falls below the 
average temperature established during the performance test.



Sec. 63.1179  For curing ovens, what standards must I meet?

    (a) You must control emissions from each existing, new, or 
reconstructed curing oven by limiting emissions of formaldehyde to 
either of the following:

    (a) The bag leak detection system must be certified by the 
manufacturer to be capable of detecting PM emissions at concentrations 
of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter (0.0044 grains per actual cubic 
foot) or less.
    (b) The sensor on the bag leak detection system must provide output 
of relative PM emissions.
    (c) The bag leak detection system must have an alarm that will sound 
automatically when it detects an increase in relative PM emissions 
greater than a preset level.
    (d) The alarm must be located in an area where appropriate plant 
personnel will be able to hear it.
    (e) For a positive-pressure fabric filter, each compartment or cell 
must have a bag leak detector. For a negative-pressure or induced-air 
fabric filter, the bag leak detector must be installed downstream of the 
fabric filter. If multiple bag leak detectors are required (for either 
type of fabric filter), detectors may share the system instrumentation 
and alarm.
    (f) Each triboelectric bag leak detection system must be installed, 
operated, adjusted, and maintained so that it follows EPA's ``Fabric 
Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance'' (EPA-454/R-98-015, September 1997).

  Appendix A to Subpart DDD of Part 63--Free Formaldehyde Analysis of 
       Insulation Resins by the Hydroxylamine Hydrochloride Method

                                1. Scope

    The method in this appendix was specifically developed for water-
soluble phenolic resins that have a relatively high free-formaldehyde 
(FF) content such as insulation resins. It may also be suitable for 
other phenolic resins, especially those with a high FF content.

                              2. Principle

    2.1  a. The basis for this method is the titration of the 
hydrochloric acid that is liberated when hydroxylamine hydrochloride 
reacts with formaldehyde to form formaldoxine:


[[Page 562]]


HCHO + NH2OH:HCl  CH2:NOH + H2O + HCl

    b. Free formaldehyde in phenolic resins is present as monomeric 
formaldehyde, hemiformals, polyoxymethylene hemiformals, and 
polyoxymethylene glycols. Monomeric formaldehyde and hemiformals react 
rapidly with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, but the polymeric forms of 
formaldehyde must hydrolyze to the monomeric state before they can 
react. The greater the concentration of free formaldehyde in a resin, 
the more of that formaldehyde will be in the polymeric form. The 
hydrolysis of these polymers is catalyzed by hydrogen ions.
    2.2  The resin sample being analyzed must contain enough free 
formaldehyde so that the initial reaction with hydroxylamine 
hydrochloride will produce sufficient hydrogen ions to catalyze the 
depolymerization of the polymeric formaldehyde within the time limits of 
the test method. The sample should contain approximately 0.3 grams (g) 
free formaldehyde to ensure complete reaction within 5 minutes.

                              3. Apparatus

    3.1  Balance, readable to 0.01 g or better.
    3.2  pH meter, standardized to pH 4.0 with pH 4.0 buffer and pH 7 
with pH 7.0 buffer.
    3.3  50-mL burette for 1.0 N sodium hydroxide.
    3.4  Magnetic stirrer and stir bars.
    3.5  250-mL beaker.
    3.6  50-mL graduated cylinder.
    3.7  100-mL graduated cylinder.
    3.8  Timer.

                               4. Reagents

    4.1  Standardized 1.0 N sodium hydroxide solution.
    4.2  Hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution, 100 grams per liter, pH 
adjusted to 4.00.
    4.3  Hydrochloric acid solution, 1.0 N and 0.1 N.
    4.4  Sodium hydroxide solution, 0.1 N.
    4.5  50/50 v/v mixture of distilled water and methyl alcohol.

                              5. Procedure

    5.1  Determine the sample size as follows:
    a. If the expected FF is greater than 2 percent, go to Part A in 
5.1.c to determine sample size.
    b. If the expected FF is less than 2 percent, go to Part B in 5.1.d 
to determine sample size.
    c. Part A: Expected FF [ge]2 percent.

Grams resin = 60/expected percent FF

    I. The following table shows example levels:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Sample
             Expected percent free formaldehyde              size, grams
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2..........................................................         30.0
5..........................................................         12.0
8..........................................................          7.5
10.........................................................          6.0
12.........................................................          5.0
15.........................................................          4.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ii. It is very important to the accuracy of the results that the 
sample size be chosen correctly. If the milliliters of titrant are less 
than 15 mL or greater than 30 mL, reestimate the needed sample size and 
repeat the tests.
    d. Part B: Expected FF < 2 percent

Grams resin = 30/expected percent FF

    I. The following table shows example levels:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Sample
             Expected percent free formaldehyde              size, grams
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2..........................................................           15
1..........................................................           30
0.5........................................................           60
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ii. If the milliliters of titrant are less than 5 mL or greater than 
30 mL, reestimate the needed sample size and repeat the tests.
    5.2  Weigh the resin sample to the nearest 0.01 grams into a 250-mL 
beaker. Record sample weight.
    5.3  Add 100 mL of the methanol/water mixture and stir on a magnetic 
stirrer. Confirm that the resin has dissolved.
    5.4  Adjust the resin/solvent solution to pH 4.0, using the 
prestandardized pH meter, 1.0 N hydrochloric acid, 0.1 N hydrochloric 
acid, and 0.1 N sodium hydroxide.
    5.5  Add 50 mL of the hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution, measured 
with a graduated cylinder. Start the timer.
    5.6  Stir for 5 minutes. Titrate to pH 4.0 with standardized 1.0 N 
sodium hydroxide. Record the milliliters of titrant and the normality.
