Compliance Status required by Sec. 63.1335(e)(5) shall include the
information specified in paragraphs (f)(8)(i) and (f)(8)(ii) of this
section, as applicable. If it is determined that the process unit is
not subject to this subpart, the owner or operator shall either retain
all information, data, and analysis used to document the basis for the
determination that the primary product is not a thermoplastic product,
or, when requested by the Administrator, demonstrate that the process
unit is not subject to this subpart.
(i) If the TPPU manufactures only one thermoplastic product,
identification of that thermoplastic product.
(ii) If the TPPU is designed and operated as a flexible operation
unit, the information specified in paragraphs (f)(8)(ii)(A) through
(f)(8)(ii)(D) of this section, as appropriate, shall be submitted.
(A) If a primary product could be determined, identification of the
primary product.
(B) Identification of which compliance option, either paragraph
(f)(6)(i) or (f)(6)(ii) of this section, has been selected by the owner
or operator.
(C) If the option to establish separate parameter monitoring levels
for each product in paragraph (f)(7)(i) of this section is selected,
the identification of each product and the corresponding parameter
monitoring level.
(D) If the option to establish a single parameter monitor level in
paragraph (f)(7)(ii) of this section is selected, the parameter
monitoring level for each parameter.
(9) TPPUs terminating production of all thermoplastic products. If
a TPPU terminates the production of all thermoplastic products and does
not anticipate the production of any thermoplastic products in the
future, the process unit is no longer a TPPU and is not subject to this
subpart after notification is made to the Administrator. This
notification shall be accompanied by a rationale for why it is
anticipated that no thermoplastic products will be produced in the
process unit in the future.
(10) Redetermination of applicability to TPPUs that are flexible
operation units. Whenever changes in production occur that could
reasonably be expected to change the primary product of a TPPU that is
operating as a flexible operation unit from a thermoplastic product to
a product that would make the process unit subject to another subpart
of this part, the owner or operator shall re-evaluate the status of the
process unit as a TPPU in accordance with paragraphs (f)(10)(i) through
(iii) of this section.
(i) For each product produced in the flexible operation unit, the
owner or operator shall calculate the percentage of total operating
time in which the product was produced for the preceding five-year
period, or since the date that the process unit began production of any
product, whichever is shorter.
(ii) The owner or operator shall identify the primary product as
the product with the highest percentage of total operating time for the
period.
(iii) If the conditions in (f)(10)(iii)(A) through (C) of this
section are met, the flexible operation unit shall no longer be
designated as a TPPU and shall no longer be subject to the provisions
of this subpart after the date that the process unit is required to be
in compliance with the provisions of the other subpart of this part to
which it is subject. If the conditions in paragraphs (f)(10)(iii)(A)
through (C) of this section are not met, the flexible operation unit
shall continue to be considered a TPPU and subject to the requirements
of this subpart.
(A) The product identified in (f)(10)(ii) of this section is not a
thermoplastic product; and
(B) The production of the product identified in (f)(10)(ii) of this
section is subject to another subpart of this part; and
(C) The owner or operator submits a notification to the
Administrator of the pending change in applicability.
(g) Storage vessel ownership determination. The owner or operator
shall follow the procedures specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through
(g)(7) of this section to determine to which process unit a storage
vessel shall be assigned. Paragraph (g)(8) of this section specifies
when an owner or operator is required to redetermine to which process
unit a storage vessel is assigned.
(1) If a storage vessel is already subject to another subpart of 40
CFR part 63 on September 12, 1996, said storage vessel shall be
assigned 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 be assigned to that process unit.
(3) If a storage vessel is shared among process units, then the
storage vessel shall be assigned 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., said 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 a TPPU subject to this subpart, the storage vessel shall be
assigned to said TPPU.
* * * * *
(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 September 12, 1996 or based on
the expected utilization for the 5 years following September 12, 1996
for existing affected sources, whichever is more representative of the
expected operations for said storage vessel, and based on the expected
utilization for the first 5 years after initial start-up for new
affected sources. The determination of predominant use shall be
reported in the Notification of Compliance Status, as required by
Sec. 63.1335(e)(5)(vi).
(7) Where a storage vessel is located at a major source that
includes one or more process units which place material into, or
receive materials from the storage vessel, but the storage vessel is
located in a tank farm (including a marine tank farm), the
applicability of this subpart shall be determined according to the
provisions in paragraphs (g)(7)(i) through (g)(7)(iv) 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 both 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 no process unit at the major source that meets the
criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(i) of this section with respect to a
storage vessel, this subpart does not apply to the storage vessel.
(iii) If there is only one process unit at the major source that
meets the criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(i) of this section with respect
to a storage vessel, the storage vessel shall be assigned to that
process unit.
(iv) If there are two or more process units at the major source
that meet the criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(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 paragraphs
(g)(3) through (g)(6) of this section. The predominant use shall be
determined among only those process units that
[[Page 11660]]
meet the criteria of paragraph (g)(7)(i) of this section.
(8) If the storage vessel begins receiving material from (or
sending material to) a process unit that was not included in the
initial determination, or ceases to receive material from (or send
material to) a process unit, the owner or operator shall re-evaluate
the applicability of this subpart to the storage vessel.
(h) Recovery operations equipment ownership determination. The
owner or operator shall follow the procedures specified in paragraphs
(h)(1) through (h)(6) of this section to determine to which process
unit recovery operations equipment shall be assigned. Paragraph (h)(7)
of this section specifies when an owner or operator is required to
redetermine to which process unit the recovery operations equipment is
assigned.
(1) If recovery operations equipment is already subject to another
subpart of 40 CFR part 63 on September 12, 1996, said recovery
operations equipment shall be assigned to the process unit subject to
the other subpart.
(2) If recovery operations equipment is dedicated to a single
process unit, the recovery operations equipment shall be assigned to
that process unit.
(3) If recovery operations equipment is shared among process units,
then the recovery operations equipment shall be assigned to that
process unit located on the same plant site as the recovery operations
equipment that has the greatest input into or output from the recovery
operations equipment (i.e., said process unit has the predominant use
of the recovery operations equipment).
(4) If predominant use cannot be determined for recovery operations
equipment that is shared among process units and if one of those
process units is a TPPU subject to this subpart, the recovery
operations equipment shall be assigned to said TPPU.
(5) If predominant use cannot be determined for recovery operations
equipment that is shared among process units and if more than one of
the process units are TPPUs that have different primary products and
that are subject to this subpart, then the owner or operator shall
assign the recovery operations equipment to any one of said TPPUs.
(6) If the predominant use of recovery operations equipment varies
from year to year, then predominant use shall be determined based on
the utilization that occurred during the year preceding September 12,
1996 or based on the expected utilization for the 5 years following
September 12, 1996 for existing affected sources, whichever is the more
representative of the expected operations for said recovery operations
equipment, and based on the first 5 years after initial start-up for
new affected sources. The determination of predominant use shall be
reported in the Notification of Compliance Status, as required by
Sec. 63.1335(e)(5)(vii).
(7) If a piece of recovery operations equipment begins receiving
material from a process unit that was not included in the initial
determination, or ceases to receive material from a process unit that
was included in the initial determination, the owner or operator shall
reevaluate the applicability of this subpart to that recovery
operations equipment.
(i) Changes or additions to plant sites. The provisions of
paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(4) of this section apply to owners or
operators that change or add to their plant site or affected source.
Paragraph (i)(5) of this section provides examples of what are and are
not considered process changes for purposes of this paragraph (i) of
this section. Paragraph (i)(6) of this section discusses reporting
requirements.
(1) Adding a TPPU to a plant site. The provisions of paragraphs
(i)(1)(i) and (i)(1)(ii) of this section apply to owners or operators
that add one or more TPPUs to a plant site.
(i) If a group of one or more TPPUs that produce the same primary
product is added to a plant site, the group of one or more TPPUs and
associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section,
shall be a new affected source and shall comply with the requirements
for a new affected source in this subpart upon initial start-up or by
February 27, 1998, whichever is later, if the criteria specified in
either paragraph (i)(1)(i)(A) or (i)(1)(i)(B) of this section are met,
and the criteria in either paragraph (i)(1)(i)(C) or (i)(1)(i)(D) of
this section are met:
(A) The construction of the group of one or more TPPUs commenced
after March 29, 1995.
(B) The construction or reconstruction, for process units that have
become TPPUs, commenced after March 29, 1995.
(C) The group of one or more TPPUs and associated equipment, as
listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, has the potential to emit
10 tons per year or more of any HAP or 25 tons per year or more of any
combination of HAP, and the primary product of the group of one or more
TPPUs is currently produced at the plant site as the primary product of
an affected source; or
(D) The primary product of the group of one or more TPPUs is not
currently produced at the plant site as the primary product of an
affected source and the plant site meets, or after the addition of the
group of one or more TPPUs and associated equipment, as listed in
paragraph (a)(4) of this section, will meet the definition of a major
source.
(ii) If a group of one or more TPPUs that produce the same primary
product is added to a plant site, and the group of one or more TPPUs
does not meet the criteria specified in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of this
section, and the plant site meets, or after the addition will meet, the
definition of a major source, the group of one or more TPPUs and
associated equipment, as listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section,
shall comply with the requirements for an existing affected source in
this subpart upon initial start-up; by September 12, 1999; or by 6
months after notifying the Administrator that a process unit has been
designated as a TPPU (in accordance with paragraph (f)(3)(iii) of this
section), whichever is later.
(2) * * *
(i) If any process change or addition is made to an existing
affected source and said process change or addition meets the criteria
specified in paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) through (i)(2)(i)(B) of this
section, the affected source shall be a new affected source and shall
be subject to the requirements for a new affected source in this
subpart upon initial start-up or by February 27, 1998, whichever is
later.
(A) It is a process change or addition that meets the definition of
reconstruction in Sec. 63.1312(b); and
* * * * *
(ii) If any process change is made that results in one or more
Group 1 emission points (i.e., either newly created Group 1 emission
points or emission points that change group status from Group 2 to
Group 1); if any process change is made that results in baseline
emissions (i.e., emissions prior to applying controls for purposes of
complying with this rule) from continuous process vents in the
collection of material recovery sections within the affected source at
an existing affected source producing PET using a continuous dimethyl
terephthalate process changing from less than or equal to 0.12 kg
organic HAP per Mg of product to greater than 0.12 kg organic HAP per
Mg of product; or if any other emission point(s) is added to an
existing affected source (i.e., Group 2 emission point(s) or equipment
leak components subject to Sec. 63.1331) and the process change or
addition does not meet the criteria specified in paragraphs
(i)(2)(i)(A) through (i)(2)(i)(B) of this section, the resulting
emission point(s)
[[Page 11661]]
shall be subject to the requirements for an existing affected source in
this subpart. The emission point(s) shall be in compliance upon initial
start-up or by the appropriate compliance date specified in
Sec. 63.1311 (i.e., February 27, 1998 for most equipment leak
components subject to Sec. 63.1331 and September 12, 1999 for emission
points other than equipment leaks), whichever is later.
(3) Existing affected source requirements for surge control vessels
and bottoms receivers that become subject to subpart H requirements. If
a process change or addition of an emission point causes a surge
control vessel or bottoms receiver to become subject to Sec. 63.170
under this paragraph (i), the owner or operator shall be in compliance
upon initial start-up or by September 12, 1999, whichever is later.
(4) Existing affected source requirements for compressors that
become subject to the requirements of subpart H of this part. If a
process change or the addition of an emission point causes a compressor
to become subject to Sec. 63.164 under this paragraph (i), the owner or
operator shall be in compliance upon initial start-up or by the
compliance date for that compressor as specified in Sec. 63.1311(d)(1)
through (d)(4), whichever is later.
(5) Determining what are and are not process changes. For purposes
of paragraph (i) of this section, examples of process changes include,
but are not limited to, changes in feedstock type, or catalyst type, or
whenever there is a replacement, removal, or addition of recovery
equipment, or changes that increase production capacity. For purposes
of paragraph (i) of this section, process changes do not include:
process upsets, unintentional temporary process changes, and changes
that are within the equipment configuration and operating conditions
documented in the Notification of Compliance Status report required by
Sec. 63.1335(e)(5).
(6) Reporting requirements for owners or operators that change or
add to their plant site or affected source. Owners or operators that
change or add to their plant site or affected source, as discussed in
paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this section, shall submit a report as
specified in Sec. 63.1335(e)(7)(iv).
(j) Applicability of this subpart during periods of start-up,
shutdown, malfunction, or non-operation. Paragraphs (j)(1) through
(j)(4) of this section shall be followed during periods of start-up,
shutdown, malfunction, or non-operation of the affected source or any
part thereof.
(1) The emission limitations set forth in this subpart and the
emission limitations referred to in this subpart shall apply at all
times except during periods of non-operation of the affected source (or
specific portion thereof) resulting in cessation of the emissions to
which this subpart applies. The emission limitations of this subpart
and the emission limitations referred to in this subpart shall not
apply during periods of start-up, shutdown, or malfunction. During
periods of start-up, shutdown, or malfunction, the owner or operator
shall follow the applicable provisions of the start-up, shutdown, and
malfunction plan required by Sec. 63.6(e)(3). However, if a start-up,
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 emission limitations to which it is subject,
then that emission point shall still be required to comply with the
applicable emission limitations of this subpart during the start-up,
shutdown, malfunction, or period of non-operation. For example, if
there is an overpressure in the reactor area, a storage vessel that is
part of the affected source would still be required to be controlled in
accordance with the emission limitations in Sec. 63.1314. Similarly,
the degassing of a storage vessel would not affect the ability of a
batch process vent to meet the emission limitations of Secs. 63.1321
through 63.1327.
(2) The emission limitations set forth in subpart H of this part,
as referred to in Sec. 63.1331, shall apply at all times except during
periods of 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 Sec. 63.1331 applies, or during
periods of start-up, shutdown, malfunction, or process unit shutdown
(as defined in Sec. 63.161).
(3) The owner or operator shall not shut down items of equipment
that are required or utilized for compliance with this subpart during
periods of start-up, shutdown, or malfunction during times when
emissions (or, where applicable, wastewater streams or residuals) 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 (j)(3) does not apply if the item of
equipment is malfunctioning. This paragraph also does not apply if the
owner or operator shuts down the compliance equipment (other than
monitoring systems) to avoid damage due to a contemporaneous start-up,
shutdown, or malfunction of the affected source or portion thereof. If
the owner or operator has reason to believe that monitoring equipment
would be damaged due to a contemporaneous start-up, shutdown, or
malfunction of the affected source or portion thereof, the owner or
operator shall provide documentation supporting such a claim in the
Precompliance Report or in a supplement to the Precompliance Report, as
provided in Sec. 63.1335(e)(3). Once approved by the Administrator in
accordance with Sec. 63.1335(e)(3)(viii), the provision for ceasing to
collect, during a start-up, shutdown, or malfunction, monitoring data
that would otherwise be required by the provisions of this subpart must
be incorporated into the start-up, shutdown, malfunction plan for that
affected source, as stated in Sec. 63.1335(b)(1).
(4) During start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions when the emission
limitations of this subpart do not apply pursuant to paragraphs (j)(1)
through (j)(3) of this section, the owner or operator shall implement,
to the extent reasonably available, measures to prevent or minimize
excess emissions to the 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 start-up, 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 start-up, 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 affected source. Back-up control devices are not required, but may
be used if available.

compliance with Sec. 63.1331 no later than September 12, 1999.
(e) Pursuant to Section 112(i)(3)(B) of the Act, an owner or
operator may request an extension allowing the existing affected source
up to 1 additional year to comply with section 112(d) standards. For
purposes of this subpart, a request for an extension shall be submitted
to the permitting authority as part of the operating permit application
or to the Administrator as a separate submittal or as part of the
Precompliance Report. Requests for extensions shall be submitted no
later than 120 days prior to the compliance dates specified in
paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section, except as provided in
paragraph (e)(3) of this section. The dates specified in Sec. 63.6(i)
for submittal of requests for extensions shall not apply to this
subpart.
* * * * *
(3) An owner or operator may submit a compliance extension request
after the date specified in paragraph (e) of this section, provided
that the need for the compliance extension arose after that date, and
the need arose due to circumstances beyond reasonable control of the
owner or operator. This request shall include, in addition to the
information specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this section, a statement
of the reasons additional time is needed and the date when the owner or
operator first learned of the circumstances necessitating a request for
compliance extension under this paragraph (e)(3).
* * * * *
(h) After the compliance dates specified in this section, a storage
vessel that is assigned to an affected source subject to this subpart
and that is also subject to the provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart
Kb, is required to comply only with the provisions of this subpart.
After the compliance dates specified in this section, said storage
vessel shall no longer be subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Kb.

completion of required tasks (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly,
annual), unless specified otherwise in the section or paragraph that
imposes the requirement, refer to the standard calendar periods.
(1) Notwithstanding time periods specified in this subpart for
completion of required tasks, such time periods may be changed by
mutual agreement between the owner or operator and the Administrator,
as specified in subpart A of this part (e.g., a period could begin on
the compliance date or another date, rather than on the first day of
the standard calendar period). 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) Where 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 paragraphs (o)(2)(i) or (o)(2)(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 of this subpart 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 that the task is conducted at a reasonable
interval after completion of the task during the previous period.

total mass of HAP or material that can be input to a batch unit
operation in one year.
Batch mode means the discontinuous bulk movement of material
through a unit operation. Mass, temperature, concentration, and other
properties may vary with time. For a unit operation operated in a batch
mode (i.e., batch unit operation), the addition of material and
withdrawal of material do not typically occur simultaneously.

Construction means the on-site fabrication, erection, or
installation of an affected source. Construction also means the on-site
fabrication, erection, or installation of a process unit or combination
of process units which subsequently becomes an affected source or part
of an affected source, due to a change in primary product.
Continuous mode means the continuous movement of material through a
unit operation. Mass, temperature, concentration, and other properties
typically approach steady-state conditions. For a unit operation
operated in a continuous mode (i.e., continuous unit operation), the
simultaneous addition of raw material and withdrawal of product is
typical.
Continuous process means, for the purposes of this subpart, a
process where the reactor(s) is operated in a continuous mode.
Continuous process vent means a process vent containing greater
than 0.005 weight percent total organic HAP from a continuous unit

annual organic HAP emissions greater than the level specified in
Sec. 63.1323(d) and with
[[Page 11665]]
a cutoff flow rate, calculated in accordance with Sec. 63.1323(f),
greater than or equal to the annual average batch vent flow rate.
Annual organic HAP emissions and annual average batch vent flow rate

Sec. 63.1323(a)(2). Annual organic HAP emissions are determined as
specified in Sec. 63.1323(b), and annual average batch vent flow rate
is determined as specified in Sec. 63.1323(e).
* * * * *
Group 1 wastewater stream means a wastewater stream consisting of
process wastewater from an existing or new affected source that meets
the criteria for Group 1 status in Sec. 63.132(c) and/or that meets the
criteria for Group 1 status in Sec. 63.132(d), with the exceptions
listed in Sec. 63.1330(b)(8) for the purposes of this subpart (i.e.,
for organic HAP listed on Table 6 of this subpart only).
* * * * *
Heat exchange system means any cooling tower system or once-through
cooling water system (e.g., river or pond water) designed and intended
to operate to not allow contact between the cooling medium and process
fluid or gases (i.e., a noncontact system). A heat exchange system can
include more than one heat exchanger and can include recirculating or
once-through cooling systems.
Highest-HAP recipe for a product means the recipe of the product
with the highest total mass of HAP charged to the reactor during the
production of a single batch of product.

affected source begins production of a thermoplastic product, or, for
equipment added or changed as described in Sec. 63.1310(i), the first
time the equipment is put into operation to produce a thermoplastic
product. Initial start-up does not include operation solely for testing
equipment. Initial start-up does not include subsequent start-ups of an
affected source or portion thereof following malfunctions or shutdowns
or following changes in product for flexible operation units or
following recharging of equipment in batch operation. Further, for
purposes of Sec. 63.1311 and Sec. 63.1331, initial start-up does not
include subsequent start-ups of affected sources or portions thereof
following malfunctions or process unit shutdowns.
Maintenance wastewater is defined in Sec. 63.101, except that the
term ``thermoplastic product process unit'' shall apply wherever the
term ``chemical manufacturing process unit'' is used. Further, the
generation of wastewater from the routine rinsing or washing of
equipment in batch operation between batches is not maintenance
wastewater, but is considered to be process wastewater, for the
purposes of this subpart.
Mass process means a polymerization process carried out through the
use of thermal energy . Mass processes do not utilize emulsifying or
suspending agents, but may utilize catalysts or other additives.
Material recovery section means, for PET plants, the equipment that
recovers unreacted ethylene glycol or by-product methanol from any
process section for return to the TPPU, or sale, or the equipment that
separates materials containing unreacted ethylene glycol or by-product
methanol from any process section for off-site purification or
treatment with the intent to recover ethylene glycol and/or methanol
for reuse. For polystyrene plants, material recovery section means the
equipment that recovers unreacted styrene from any process section for
return to the TPPU or sale, or the equipment that separates materials
containing unreacted styrene from any process section for off-site
purification or treatment with the intent to recover styrene for reuse.
Equipment used to store recovered materials (i.e., ethylene glycol,
methanol, or styrene) is not included. Equipment designed to recover or
separate materials from the polymer product is to be included in this
process section, provided that at the time of initial compliance some
of the unreacted or by-product material is recovered for return to the
TPPU, or sale, or some of the separated material is sent for off-site
purification or treatment with the intent to recover the unreacted or
by-product material for reuse. Otherwise, such equipment is to be
assigned to one of the other process sections, as appropriate. If
equipment is used to recover unreacted or by-product material and
return it directly to the same piece of process equipment from which it
was emitted, then said recovery equipment is considered part of the
process section that contains the process equipment. On the other hand,
if equipment is used to recover unreacted or by-product material and
return it to a different piece of process equipment in the same process
section, said recovery equipment is considered part of a material
recovery section. Equipment used for the on-site recovery of ethylene
glycol from PET plants, however, is not included in the material
recovery section; such equipment is to be included in the
polymerization reaction section. Equipment used for the on-site
recovery of both ethylene glycol and any other materials from PET
plants is not included in the material recovery section; this equipment
is to be included in the polymerization reaction section.
Maximum true vapor pressure is defined in Sec. 63.111, except that
the terms ``transfer'' or ``transferred'' shall not apply for purposes
of this subpart.
* * * * *
Multicomponent system means, as used in conjunction with batch
process vents, a stream whose liquid and/or vapor contains more than
one compound.
Net positive heating value means the difference between the heat
value of the recovered chemical stream and the minimum heat value
required to ensure a stable flame in the combustion device, when the
heat value of the recovered chemical stream is less than the minimum
heat value required to ensure a stable flame. This difference must have
a positive value when used in the context of ``recovering chemicals for
fuel value'' (e.g., in the definition of ``recovery device'' in this
section).
New affected source is defined in Sec. 63.1310(a)(4).
New process unit means a process unit for which the construction or
reconstruction commenced after March 29, 1995.
* * * * *

not limited to, storage at the affected source or TPPU to which the
records pertain, or storage in central files elsewhere at the major
source.
Operating day means the period defined by the owner or operator in
the Notification of Compliance Status required by Sec. 63.1335(e)(5).
The operating day is the period for which daily average monitoring
values and batch cycle daily average monitoring values are determined.

* * * * *
Polymerization reaction section means the equipment designed to
cause monomer(s) to react to form polymers, including equipment
designed primarily to cause the formation of short polymer
[[Page 11666]]
chains (e.g., oligomers or low molecular weight polymers), but not
including equipment designed to prepare raw materials for
polymerization (e.g., esterification vessels). For the purposes of
these standards, the polymerization reaction section begins with the
equipment used to transfer the materials from the raw materials
preparation section and ends with the last vessel in which
polymerization occurs. Equipment used for the on-site recovery of
ethylene glycol from PET plants is included in this process section,
rather than in the material recovery process section.
* * * * *
Process unit means a collection of equipment assembled and
connected by hardpiping or duct work, used to process raw materials and
to manufacture a product.
Process vent means a gaseous emission stream from a unit operation
that is discharged to the atmosphere either directly or after passing
through one or more control, recovery, or recapture devices. Unit
operations that may have process vents are condensers, distillation
units, reactors, or other unit operations within the TPPU. Process
vents exclude pressure releases, gaseous streams routed to a fuel gas
system(s), and leaks from equipment regulated under Sec. 63.1331. A
gaseous emission stream is no longer considered to be a process vent
after the stream has been controlled and monitored in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this subpart.
Product means a polymer produced using the same monomers and
varying in additives (e.g., initiators, terminators, etc.); catalysts;
or in the relative proportions of monomers, that is manufactured by a
process unit. With respect to polymers, more than one recipe may be
used to produce the same product. As an example, styrene acrylonitrile
resin and methyl methacrylate butadiene styrene resin each represent a
different product. Product also means a chemical that is not a polymer,
that is manufactured by a process unit. By-products, isolated
intermediates, impurities, wastes, and trace contaminants are not
considered products.
Raw materials preparation section means the equipment at a polymer
manufacturing plant designed to prepare raw materials, such as monomers
and solvents, for polymerization. For the purposes of the standards in
this subpart, this process section includes the equipment used to
transfer raw materials from storage and/or the equipment used to
transfer recovered material from the material recovery process sections
to the raw material preparation section, and ends with the last piece
of equipment that prepares the material for polymerization. The raw
materials preparation section may include equipment that is used to
purify, dry, or otherwise treat raw materials or raw and recovered
materials together; to activate catalysts; or to promote esterification
including the formation of some short polymer chains (oligomers). The
raw materials preparation section does not include equipment that is
designed primarily to accomplish the formation of oligomers, the
treatment of recovered materials alone, or the storage of raw or
recovered materials.
Recipe means a specific composition, from among the range of
possible compositions that may occur within a product, as defined in
this section. A recipe is determined by the proportions of monomers
and, if present, other reactants and additives that are used to make
the recipe. For example, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene latex resin
(ABS latex) without additives; ABS latex with an additive; and ABS
latex with different proportions of acrylonitrile to butadiene are all
different recipes of the same product, ABS latex.
Reconstruction means the replacement of components of an affected
source or of a previously unaffected stationary source that becomes an
affected source as a result of the replacement, to such an extent that:
(1) The fixed capital cost of the new components exceeds 50 percent
of the fixed capital cost that would be required to construct a
comparable new source; and
(2) It is technologically and economically feasible for the
reconstructed source to meet the provisions of this subpart.
Recovery device means:
(1) An individual unit of equipment capable of and normally used
for the purpose of recovering chemicals for:
(i) Use;
(ii) Reuse;
(iii) Fuel value (i.e., net heating value); or

value).
(2) Examples of equipment that may be recovery devices 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 the purposes of the
monitoring, recordkeeping, or 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 and recovery or recapture devices used as control
devices shall not be considered recovery operations equipment.
Residual is defined in Sec. 63.111, except that when the definition
in Sec. 63.111 uses the term ``Table 9 compounds,'' the term ``organic
HAP listed in Table 6 of subpart JJJ'' shall apply for purposes of this
subpart.
Shutdown means for purposes including, but not limited to, periodic
maintenance, replacement of equipment, or repair, the cessation of
operation of an affected source, a TPPU(s) within an affected source, a
waste management unit or unit operation within an affected source, or
equipment required or used to comply with this subpart, or the emptying
or degassing of a storage vessel. For purposes of the wastewater
provisions of Sec. 63.1330, shutdown does not include the routine
rinsing or washing of equipment in batch operation between batches. For
purposes of the batch process vent provisions in Secs. 63.1321 through
63.1327, the cessation of equipment in batch operation is not a
shutdown, unless the equipment undergoes maintenance, is replaced, or
is repaired.
Solid state polymerization process means a unit operation which,
through the application of heat, furthers the polymerization (i.e.,
increases the intrinsic viscosity) of polymer chips.
Start-up means the setting into operation of an affected source, a
TPPU(s) within an affected source, a waste management unit or unit
operation within an affected source, or equipment required or used to
comply with this subpart, or a storage vessel after emptying and
degassing. For both continuous and batch processes, start-up includes
initial start-up and operation solely for testing equipment. For both
continuous and batch processes, start-up does not include the
recharging of equipment in batch operation. For continuous processes,
start-up includes transitional conditions due to changes in product for
flexible operation units. For batch processes, start-up does not
include transitional conditions due to changes in product for flexible
operation units.
Steady-state conditions means that all variables (temperatures,
pressures, volumes, flow rates, etc.) in a process do
[[Page 11667]]
not vary significantly with time; minor fluctuations about constant
mean values may occur.
Storage vessel means a tank or other vessel that is used to store
liquids that contain one or more organic HAP. Storage vessels do not
include:
(1) Vessels permanently attached to motor vehicles such as trucks,
railcars, barges, or ships;
(2) Pressure vessels designed to operate in excess of 204.9
kilopascals and without emissions to the atmosphere;
(3) Vessels with capacities smaller than 38 cubic meters;
(4) Vessels and equipment storing and/or handling material that
contains no organic HAP and/or organic HAP as impurities only;
(5) Wastewater storage tanks; and
(6) Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers.
* * * * *
Suspension process means a polymerization process where the
monomer(s) is in a state of suspension, with the help of suspending
agents, in a medium other than water (typically an organic solvent).
The resulting polymers are not soluble in the reactor medium. .
* * * * *
Thermoplastic product process unit (TPPU) means a collection of
equipment assembled and connected by hard-piping or ductwork, used to
process raw materials and to manufacture a thermoplastic product as its
primary product. This collection of equipment includes unit operations;
recovery operations equipment, process vents; equipment identified in
Sec. 63.149; storage vessels, as determined in Sec. 63.1310(g); and the
equipment that is subject to the equipment leak provisions as specified
in Sec. 63.1331. Utilities, lines and equipment not containing process
fluids, and other non-process lines, such as heating and cooling
systems which do not combine their materials with those in the
processes they serve, are not part of the thermoplastic product process
unit. A thermoplastic product process unit consists of more than one
unit operation.
* * * * *
Total resource effectiveness index value or TRE index value means a
measure of the supplemental total resource requirement per unit
reduction organic HAP associated with a continuous process vent stream,
based on vent stream flow rate, emission rate of organic HAP, net
heating value, and corrosion properties (whether or not the continuous
process vent stream contains halogenated compounds), as quantified by
the equations given under Sec. 63.115.
Vent stream, as used in reference to batch process vents,
continuous process vents, and aggregate batch vent streams, means the
emissions from one or more process vents.
Waste management unit is defined in Sec. 63.111, except that where
the definition in Sec. 63.111 uses the term ``chemical manufacturing
process unit,'' the term ``TPPU'' shall apply for purposes of this
subpart.
Wastewater means water that:
(1) Contains either:
(i) An annual average concentration of organic HAP listed on Table
6 of this subpart, except for ethylene glycol, of at least 5 parts per
million by weight and has an annual average flow rate of 0.02 liter per

(e)(2), (e)(3), (g), (h)(1)(iii), (h)(2), (i), (j) introductory text
and (j)(3); and
b. Adding paragraph (b)(9), to read as follows:
Sec. 63.1323 Batch process vents--methods and procedures for group
determination.
(a) * * *
(1) The procedures specified in paragraphs (b) through (g) of this
section shall be followed to determine the group status of each batch
process vent. This determination shall be made in accordance with
either paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (a)(1)(ii) of this section.
(i) An owner or operator may choose to determine the group status
of a batch process vent based on the expected mix of products. For each
product, emission characteristics of the single highest-HAP recipe, as
defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section, for that product
shall be used in the procedures in paragraphs (b) through (i) of this
section.
(ii) An owner or operator may choose to determine the group status
of a batch process vent based on annualized production of the single
highest-HAP recipe, as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this
section, considering all products produced or processed in the batch
unit operation. The annualized production of the highest-HAP recipe
shall be based exclusively on the production of the single highest-HAP
recipe of all products produced or processed in the batch unit
operation for a 12 month period. The production level used may be the
actual production rate. It is not necessary to assume a maximum
production rate (i.e., 8,760 hours per year at maximum design
production).
(iii) The single highest-HAP recipe for a product means the recipe
of the product with the highest total mass of HAP charged to the
reactor during the production of a single batch of product.
* * * * *
(b) Determination of annual emissions. The owner or operator shall
calculate annual uncontrolled TOC or organic HAP emissions for each
batch process vent using the methods described in paragraphs (b)(1)
through (b)(8) of this section. To estimate emissions from a batch
emissions episode, owners or operators may use either the emissions
estimation equations in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this
section, or direct measurement as specified in paragraph (b)(5) of this
section. Engineering assessment may be used to estimate emissions from
a batch emission episode only under the conditions described in
paragraph (b)(6) of this section. In using the emissions estimation
equations in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this section,
individual component vapor pressure and molecular weight may be
obtained from standard references. Methods to determine individual HAP
partial pressures in multicomponent systems are described in paragraph
(b)(9) of this section. Other variables in the emissions estimation
equations may be obtained through direct measurement, as defined in
paragraph (b)(5) of this section, through engineering assessment, as
defined in paragraph (b)(6)(ii) of this section, by process knowledge,
or by any other appropriate means. Assumptions used in determining
these variables must be documented. Once emissions for the batch
emission episode have been determined using either the emissions
estimation equations, direct measurement, or engineering assessment,
emissions from a batch cycle shall be calculated in accordance with
paragraph (b)(7) of this section, and annual emissions from the batch
process vent shall be calculated in

b. Removing paragraph (b)(6), to read as follows:
Sec. 63.1325 Batch process vents--performance test methods and
procedures to determine compliance.
(a) Use of a flare. When a flare is used to comply with
Sec. 63.1322(a)(1), Sec. 63.1322(a)(3), Sec. 63.1322(b)(1), or
Sec. 63.1322(b)(3), the owner or operator of an affected source shall
comply with Sec. 63.1333(e).
(b) Exceptions to performance tests. An owner or operator is not
required to conduct a performance test when a control device specified
in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section is used to comply
with Sec. 63.1322(a)(2) or (a)(3).
* * * * *
(3) A control device for which a performance test was conducted for
determining compliance with a regulation promulgated by the EPA and the
test was conducted using the same Methods specified in this section and
either no deliberate process changes have been made since the test, or
the owner or operator can demonstrate that the results of the
performance test, with or without adjustments, reliably demonstrate
compliance despite process changes. Recovery devices used for
controlling emissions from continuous process vents complying with
Sec. 63.1322(a)(3) are also eligible for the exemption described in
this paragraph (b)(3).
* * * * *
(5) A hazardous waste incinerator for which the owner or operator
has been issued a final permit under 40 CFR part 270 and complies with
the requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart O, or has certified
compliance with the interim status requirements of 40 CFR part 265,
subpart O.
(c) Batch process vent testing and procedures for compliance with
Sec. 63.1322(a)(2). Except as provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
section, an owner or operator using a control device to comply with
Sec. 63.1322(a)(2) shall conduct a performance test using the
procedures specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section in order to
determine the control efficiency of the control device. An owner or
operator shall determine the percent reduction for the batch cycle
using the control efficiency of the control device as specified in
paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iii) of this section and the
procedures specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this section. Compliance
may be based on either total organic HAP or TOC. For purposes of this
paragraph (c), the term ``batch emission episode'' shall have the
meaning ``period of the batch emission episode selected for control,''
which may be the entire batch emission episode or may only be a portion
of the batch emission episode.
(1) * * *
(i) * * *
(A) Alternatively, an owner or operator may choose to test only
those periods of the batch emission episode during which the emission
rate for the entire episode can be determined or during which the
emissions are greater than the average emission rate of the batch
emission episode. The owner or operator choosing either of these
options shall develop an emission profile for the entire batch emission
episode, based on either process knowledge or test data collected, to
demonstrate that test periods are representative. Examples of
information that could constitute process knowledge include
calculations based on material balances and process stoichiometry.
Previous test results may be used provided the results are still
relevant to the current batch process vent conditions.
(B) Method 1 or 1A, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, as appropriate,
shall be used for selection of the sampling sites if the flow measuring
device is a pitot tube, except that references to particulate matter in
Method 1A do not apply for the purposes of this subpart. No traverse is
necessary when Method 2A or 2D, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A is used to
determine gas stream volumetric flow rate. Inlet sampling sites shall
be located as specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(B)(1) and
(c)(1)(i)(B)(2) of this section. Outlet sampling sites shall be located
at the outlet of the control device prior to release to the atmosphere.

used to determine the concentration of organic HAP or TOC, as
appropriate. Alternatively, any other method or data that has been
validated according to the applicable procedures in Method 301 of
appendix A of this part may be used. The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR part
60, appendix A shall conform with the requirements in paragraphs
(c)(1)(i)(D)(1) and (c)(1)(i)(D)(2) of this section.
* * * * *

limitation required by Sec. 63.1322(f)(1) shall be determined by the
owner or operator such that annual emissions remain at a level that
ensures that said batch process vent remains a Group 2 batch process
vent, given the actual annual flow rate for said batch process vent
determined according to the procedures specified in Sec. 63.1323(e)(3).
The batch mass input limitation shall be determined using the same
basis, as described in Sec. 63.1323(a)(1), used to make the group
determination (i.e., expected mix of products or highest-HAP recipe.)
The establishment of the batch mass input limitation is not dependent
upon any past production or activity level.
(1) If the expected mix of products serves as the basis for the
batch mass input limitation, the batch mass input limitation shall be
determined based on any foreseeable combination of products that the
owner or operator expects to manufacture.
(2) If the single highest-HAP recipe serves as the basis for the
batch mass input limitation, the batch mass input limitation shall be
determined based solely on the production of the single highest-HAP
recipe, considering all products produced or processed in the batch
unit operation.

as follows:
Sec. 63.1329 Process contact cooling towers provisions.
(a) The owner or operator of each new affected source that
manufactures PET is required to comply with paragraph (b) of this
section. The owner or operator of each existing affected source that
manufactures PET using a continuous terephthalic acid high viscosity
multiple end finisher process that utilizes a process contact cooling
tower shall comply with paragraph (c) of this section, and is not
required to comply with paragraph (b) of this section. The compliance
date for process contact cooling towers subject to the provisions of
this section is specified in Sec. 63.1311.
* * * * *
(c) Existing affected source requirements. The owner or operator of
an existing affected source subject to this section who manufactures
PET using a continuous terephthalic acid high viscosity multiple end
finisher process, and who is subject or becomes subject to 40 CFR part
60, subpart DDD, shall maintain an ethylene glycol concentration in the
process contact cooling tower at or below 4.0 percent by weight
averaged on a daily basis over a rolling 14-day period of operating
days. Compliance with this paragraph (c) shall be determined as
specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section. It
should be noted that compliance with this paragraph (c) does not exempt
owners or operators from complying with the provisions of Sec. 63.1330
for those process wastewater streams that are sent to the process
contact cooling tower.
(1) * * *
(i) At least one sample per operating day shall be collected using
the procedures specified in 40 CFR 60.564(j)(1)(i). An average ethylene
glycol concentration by weight shall be calculated on a daily basis
over a rolling 14-day period of operating days. Each daily average
ethylene glycol concentration so calculated constitutes a performance
test.
(ii) The owner or operator may elect to reduce the sampling program
to any 14 consecutive operating day period once every two calendar
months, if at least seventeen consecutive 14-day rolling average
concentrations immediately preceding the reduced sampling program are
each less than 1.2 weight percent ethylene glycol. If the average
concentration obtained over the 14 operating day sampling during the
reduced test period exceeds the upper 95 percent confidence interval
calculated from the most recent test results in which no one 14-day
average exceeded 1.2 weight percent ethylene glycol, then the owner or
operator shall reinstitute a daily sampling program. The 95 percent
confidence interval shall be calculated as specified in paragraph
(c)(1)(iii) of this section. A reduced program may be reinstituted if
the requirements specified in this paragraph (c)(1)(ii) are met.
(iii) The upper 95 percent confidence interval shall be calculated
using the Equation 27 of this subpart:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP09MR99.044
Where:
CI95=95 percent confidence interval
Xi=daily ethylene glycol concentration for each operating
day used to calculate each 14-day rolling average used in test results
to justify implementing the reduced testing program.
n=number of ethylene glycol concentrations.
(2) Measuring an alternative parameter, such as carbon oxygen
demand or biological oxygen demand, that is demonstrated to be directly
proportional to the ethylene glycol concentration shall be allowed.
Such parameter shall be measured during the initial 14-day performance
test during which the facility is shown to be in compliance with the
ethylene glycol concentration standard whereby the ethylene glycol
concentration is determined using the procedures described in paragraph
(c)(1) of this section. The alternative parameter shall be measured on
a daily basis and the average value of the alternative parameter shall
be calculated on a daily basis over a rolling 14-day period of
operating days. Each daily average value of the alternative parameter
constitutes a performance test.
* * * * *

be used for the purposes of this subpart. The use of Method 25A, 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A, shall conform with the requirements in paragraphs
(b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subpart, if an
owner or operator of an affected source uses a flare to comply with any
of the requirements of this subpart, the owner or operator shall comply
with paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(3) of this section. The owner or
operator is not required to conduct a performance test to determine
percent emission reduction or outlet organic HAP or TOC concentration.
If a compliance demonstration has been conducted previously for a
flare, using the techniques specified in paragraphs (e)(1)
[[Page 11689]]
through (e)(3) of this section, that compliance demonstration may be
used to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph if either no
deliberate process changes have been made since the compliance
demonstration, or the results of the compliance demonstration reliably
demonstrate compliance despite process changes.
(1) Conduct a visible emission test using the techniques specified
in Sec. 63.11(b)(4);
(2) Determine the net heating value of the gas being combusted,
using the techniques specified in Sec. 63.11(b)(6); and
(3) Determine the exit velocity using the techniques specified in
either Sec. 63.11(b)(7)(i) (and Sec. 63.11(b)(7)(iii), where
applicable) or Sec. 63.11(b)(8), as appropriate.
52. Section 63.1334 is amended by:
a. Revising paragraphs (a), (b) introductory text, (b)(3)
introductory text, (b)(3)(i)(A) through (b)(3)(i)(D), (b)(3)(ii), (c),
(d), (f)(1) introductory text, (f)(1)(ii), (f)(1)(iii), (f)(2)
introductory text, and (f)(2)(ii);
b. Removing and reserving paragraphs (b)(1) and (e);
c. Removing paragraph (b)(3)(i)(E); and
d. Adding paragraphs (f)(1)(v) and (f)(3) through (f)(7), to read
as follows:
Sec. 63.1334 Parameter monitoring levels and excursions.
(a) Establishment of parameter monitoring levels. The owner or
operator of a control or recovery device that has one or more parameter
monitoring level requirements specified under this subpart shall
establish a maximum or minimum level for each measured parameter. If a
performance test is required by this subpart for a control device, the
owner or operator shall use the procedures in either paragraph (b) or
(c) of this section to establish the parameter monitoring level(s). If
a performance test is not required by this subpart for a control
device, the owner or operator may use the procedures in paragraph (b),
(c) or (d) of this section to establish the parameter monitoring
level(s). When using the procedures specified in paragraph (c) or (d)
of this section, the owner or operator shall submit the information
specified in Sec. 63.1335(e)(3)(vii) for review and approval as part of
the Precompliance Report.
(1) The owner or operator shall operate control and recovery
devices such that the daily average of monitored parameters remains
above the minimum established level or below the maximum established
level, except as otherwise stated in this subpart.
(2) As specified in Sec. 63.1335(e)(5), all established levels,
along with their supporting documentation and the definition of an
operating day, shall be submitted as part of the Notification of
Compliance Status.
(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow a
monitoring parameter excursion caused by an activity that violates
other applicable provisions of subpart A, F, G, or H of this part.
(b) Establishment of parameter monitoring levels based exclusively
on performance tests. In cases where a performance test is required by
this subpart, or the owner or operator of the affected source elects to
do a performance test in accordance with the provisions of this
subpart, and an owner or operator elects to establish a parameter
monitoring level for a control, recovery, or recapture device based
exclusively on parameter values measured during the performance test,
the owner or operator of the affected source shall comply with the
procedures in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this section, as
applicable.
(1) [Reserved.]
* * * * *
(3) Batch process vents. The monitoring level(s) shall be
established using the procedures specified in either paragraph
(b)(3)(i) or (b)(3)(ii) of this section. The procedures specified in
this paragraph (b)(3) may only be used if the batch emission episodes,
or portions thereof, selected to be controlled were tested, and
monitoring data were collected, during the entire period in which
emissions were vented to the control device, as specified in
Sec. 63.1325(c)(1)(i). If the owner or operator chose to test only a
portion of the batch emission episode, or portion thereof, selected to
be controlled, the procedures in paragraph (c) of this section shall be
used.
(i) * * *
(A) The average monitored parameter value shall be calculated for
each batch emission episode, or portion thereof, in the batch cycle
selected to be controlled. The average shall be based on all values
measured during the required performance test.
(B) If the level to be established is a maximum operating
parameter, the level shall be defined as the minimum of the average
parameter values of the batch emission episodes, or portions thereof,
in the batch cycle selected to be controlled (i.e., identify the
emission episode, or portion thereof, which requires the lowest
parameter value in order to assure compliance. The average parameter
value that is necessary to assure compliance for that emission episode,
or portion thereof, shall be the level for all emission episodes, or
portions thereof, in the batch cycle, that are selected to be
controlled).
(C) If the level to be established is a minimum operating
parameter, the level shall be defined as the maximum of the average
parameter values of the batch emission episodes, or portions thereof,
in the batch cycle selected to be controlled (i.e., identify the
emission episode, or portion thereof, which requires the highest
parameter value in order to assure compliance. The average parameter
value that is necessary to assure compliance for that emission episode,
or portion thereof, shall be the level for all emission episodes, or
portions thereof, in the batch cycle, that are selected to be
controlled).
(D) Alternatively, an average monitored parameter value shall be
calculated for the entire batch cycle based on all values measured
during each batch emission episode, or portion thereof, selected to be
controlled.
(ii) Instead of establishing a single level for the batch cycle, as
described in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section, an owner or operator
may establish separate levels for each batch emission episode, or
portion thereof, selected to be controlled. Each level shall be
determined as specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A) of this section.
* * * * *
(c) Establishment of parameter monitoring levels based on
performance tests, supplemented by engineering assessments and/or
manufacturer's recommendations. In cases where a performance test is
required by this subpart, or the owner or operator elects to do a
performance test in accordance with the provisions of this subpart, and
an owner or operator elects to establish a parameter monitoring level
for a control, recovery, or recapture device under this paragraph (c),
the owner or operator shall supplement the parameter values measured
during the performance test with engineering assessments and/or
manufacturer's recommendations. Performance testing is not required to
be conducted over the entire range of expected parameter values.
(d) Establishment of parameter monitoring based on engineering
assessments and/or manufacturer's recommendations. In cases where a
performance test is not required by this subpart and an owner or
operator elects to establish a parameter monitoring level for a
control, recovery, or
[[Page 11690]]
recapture device under this paragraph (d), the determination of the
parameter monitoring level shall be based exclusively on engineering
assessments and/or manufacturer's recommendations.
(e) [Reserved.]
(f) Parameter monitoring excursion definitions. (1) With respect to
storage vessels (where the applicable monitoring plan specifies
continuous monitoring), continuous process vents, aggregate batch vent
streams, and process wastewater streams, an excursion means any of the
three cases listed in paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (f)(1)(iii) of this
section. For a control or recovery device where multiple parameters are
monitored, if one or more of the parameters meets the excursion
criteria in paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (f)(1)(iii) of this section,
this is considered a single excursion for the control or recovery
device. For each excursion, the owner or operator shall be deemed out
of compliance with the provisions of this subpart, except as provided
in paragraph (g) of this section.
* * * * *
(ii) When the period of control or recovery device operation, with
the exception noted in paragraph (f)(1)(v) of this section, is 4 hours
or greater in an operating day, and monitoring data are insufficient,
as defined in paragraph (f)(1)(iv) of this section, to constitute a
valid hour of data for at least 75 percent of the operating hours.
(iii) When the period of control or recovery device operation, with
the exception noted in paragraph (f)(1)(v) of this section, is less
than 4 hours in an operating day and more than two of the hours during
the period of operation do not constitute a valid hour of data due to
insufficient monitoring data, as defined in paragraph (f)(1)(iv) of
this section.
* * * * *
(v) The periods listed in paragraphs (f)(1)(v)(A) through
(f)(1)(v)(E) of this section are not considered to be part of the
period of control or recovery device operation, for the purposes of
paragraphs (f)(1)(ii) and (f)(1)(iii) of this section.
(A) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
(B) Start-ups;
(C) Shutdowns;
(D) Malfunctions; or
(E) Periods of non-operation of the affected source (or portion
thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the
monitoring applies.
(2) With respect to batch process vents, an excursion means one of
the two cases listed in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) and (f)(2)(ii) of this
section. For a control device where multiple parameters are monitored,
if one or more of the parameters meets the excursion criteria in either
paragraph (f)(2)(i) or (f)(2)(ii) of this section, this is considered a
single excursion for the control device. For each excursion, the owner
or operator shall be deemed out of compliance with the provisions of
this subpart, except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section.
* * * * *
(ii) When monitoring data are insufficient for an operating day.
Monitoring data shall be considered insufficient when measured values
are not available for at least 75 percent of the 15-minute periods when
batch emission episodes selected to be controlled are being vented to
the control device during the operating day, using the procedures
specified in paragraphs (f)(2)(ii)(A) through (f)(2)(ii)(D) of this
section.
(A) Determine the total amount of time during the operating day
when batch emission episodes selected to be controlled are being vented
to the control device.
(B) Subtract the time during the periods listed in paragraphs
(f)(2)(ii)(B)(1) through (f)(2)(ii)(B)(4) of this section from the
total amount of time determined in paragraph (f)(2)(ii)(A) of this
section, to obtain the operating time used to determine if monitoring
data are insufficient.
(1) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
(2) Start-ups;
(3) Shutdowns; or
(4) Malfunctions.
(C) Determine the total number of 15-minute periods in the
operating time used to determine if monitoring data are insufficient,
as was determined in accordance with paragraph (f)(2)(ii)(B) of this
section.
(D) If measured values are not available for at least 75 percent of
the total number of 15-minute periods determined in paragraph
(f)(2)(ii)(C) of this section, the monitoring data are insufficient for
the operating day.
(3) For storage vessels where the applicable monitoring plan does
not specify continuous monitoring, an excursion is defined in paragraph
(f)(3)(i) or (ii) of this section, as applicable. For a control or
recovery device where multiple parameters are monitored, if one or more
of the parameters meets the excursion criteria, this is considered a
single excursion for the control or recovery device. For each
excursion, the owner or operator shall be deemed out of compliance with
the provisions of this subpart, except as provided in paragraph (g) of
this section.
(i) If the monitoring plan specifies monitoring a parameter and
recording its value at specific intervals (such as every 15 minutes or
every hour), either of the cases listed in paragraph (f)(3)(i)(A) or
(f)(3)(i)(B) of this section is considered a single excursion for the
control device. For each excursion, the owner or operator shall be
deemed out of compliance with the provisions of this subpart, except as
provided in paragraph (g) of this section.
(A) When the average value of one or more parameters, averaged over
the duration of the filling period for the storage vessel, is above the
maximum level or below the minimum level established for the given
parameters.
(B) When monitoring data are insufficient. Monitoring data shall be
considered insufficient when measured values are not available for at
least 75 percent of the specific intervals at which parameters are to
be monitored and recorded, according to the storage vessel's monitoring
plan, during the filling period for the storage vessel.
(ii) If the monitoring plan does not specify monitoring a parameter
and recording its value at specific intervals (for example, if the
relevant operating requirement is to exchange a disposable carbon
canister before expiration of its rated service life), the monitoring
plan shall define an excursion in terms of the relevant operating
requirement.
(4) With respect to continuous process vents complying with the
mass emissions per mass product requirements specified in
Sec. 63.1316(b)(1)(i)(A), (b)(1)(ii), (b)(2)(i), (b)(2)(ii), or
(c)(1)(i), an excursion has occurred when the mass emission rate
calculated as specified in Sec. 63.1318(c) exceeds the appropriate mass
emissions per mass product requirement. For each excursion, the owner
or operator shall be deemed out of compliance with the provisions of
this subpart, except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section.
(5) With respect to continuous process vents complying with the
temperature limits for final condensers specified in
Sec. 63.1316(b)(1)(i)(B) or (c)(1)(ii), an excursion has occurred when
the daily average exit temperature exceeds the appropriate condenser
temperature limit. For each excursion, the owner or operator shall be
deemed out of compliance with the provisions of this subpart, except as
provided in paragraph (g) of this section. The periods listed in
paragraphs (f)(5)(i)
[[Page 11691]]
through (f)(5)(v) of this section are not considered to be part of the
period of operation for the condenser for purposes of determining the
daily average exit temperature.
(i) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
(ii) Start-ups;
(iii) Shutdowns;
(iv) Malfunctions; or
(v) Periods of non-operation of the affected source (or portion
thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the
monitoring applies.
(6) With respect to new affected sources producing SAN using a
batch process, an excursion has occurred when the percent reduction
calculated using the procedures specified in Sec. 63.1333(c) is less
than 84 percent. For each excursion, the owner or operator shall be
deemed out of compliance with the provisions of this subpart, except as
provided in paragraph (g) of this section. The periods listed in
paragraphs (f)(6)(i) through (f)(6)(v) of this section are not
considered to be part of the period of control or recovery device
operation for purposes of determining the percent reduction.
(i) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
(ii) Start-ups;
(iii) Shutdowns;
(iv) Malfunctions; or
(v) Periods of non-operation of the affected source (or portion
thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the
monitoring applies.
(7) With respect to continuous process vents complying with the
mass emissions per mass product requirement specified in
Sec. 63.1315(b)(2), an excursion has occurred when the mass emission
rate calculated as specified in Sec. 63.1333(b) exceeds the mass
emissions per mass product requirement specified in Sec. 63.1315(b)(2).
For each excursion, the owner or operator shall be deemed out of
compliance with the provisions of this subpart, except as provided in
paragraph (g) of this section.

c. Removing and reserving paragraphs (c), (d)(4), (d)(5), and
(e)(6)(iii)(C); and
d. Adding paragraphs (e)(4)(iv)(D), (e)(5)(ix) through (e)(5)(xi),
(e)(6)(iii)(D)(4), (e)(6)(xii), (e)(7)(iii), (e)(7)(iv), and
(h)(1)(vi)(D), to read as follows:
Sec. 63.1335 General recordkeeping and reporting provisions.
(a) Data retention. Unless otherwise specified in this subpart, the
owner or operator of an affected source shall keep copies of all
applicable records and reports required by this subpart for at least 5
years, as specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, with the
exception listed in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
(1) All applicable records shall be maintained in such a manner
that they can be readily accessed. The most recent 6 months of records
shall be retained on site or shall be accessible from a central
location by computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours
after a request. The remaining 4 and one-half years of records may be
retained offsite. Records may be maintained in hard copy or computer-
readable form including, but not limited to, on paper, microfilm,
computer, floppy disk, magnetic tape, or microfiche.
(2) If an owner or operator submits copies of reports to the
appropriate EPA Regional Office, the owner or operator is not required
to maintain copies of reports. If the EPA Regional Office has waived
the requirement of Sec. 63.10(a)(4)(ii) for submittal of copies of
reports, the owner or operator is not required to maintain copies of
those reports.
(b) * * *
(1) Start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan. The owner or operator
of an affected source shall develop and implement a written start-up,
shutdown, and malfunction plan as specified in Sec. 63.6(e)(3). This
plan shall describe, in detail, procedures for operating and
maintaining the affected source during periods of start-up, shutdown,
and malfunction and a program for corrective action for malfunctioning
process and air pollution control equipment used to comply with this
subpart. A provision for ceasing to collect, during a start-up,
shutdown, or malfunction, monitoring data that would otherwise be
required by the provisions of this subpart may be included in the
start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan only if the owner or operator
has demonstrated to the Administrator, through the Precompliance Report
or a supplement to the Precompliance Report, that the monitoring system
would be damaged or destroyed if it were not shut down during the
start-up, shutdown, or malfunction. The affected source shall keep the
start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan on-site. Records associated
with the plan shall be kept as specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i)(A)
through (b)(1)(i)(C) of this section. Reports related to the plan shall
be submitted as specified in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section.
(i) Records of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction. The owner or
operator shall keep the records specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i)(A)
through (b)(1)(i)(C) of this section.
(A) Records of the occurrence and duration of each start-up,
shutdown, and malfunction of operation of process equipment or control
devices or recovery devices or continuous monitoring systems used to
comply with this subpart during which excess emissions (as defined in
Sec. 63.1310(j)(4)) occur.
(B) For each start-up, shutdown, or malfunction during which excess
emissions (as defined in Sec. 63.1310(j)(4)) occur, records reflecting
whether the procedures specified in the affected 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 a control device to a backup control device, records shall be
kept of whether the plan was followed. 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.
(C) Records specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i)(A) through
(b)(1)(i)(B) of this section are not required if they pertain solely to
Group 2 emission points that are not included in an emissions average.
(ii) Reports of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction. For the
purposes of this
[[Page 11692]]
subpart, the semiannual start-up, shutdown, and malfunction reports
shall be submitted on the same schedule as the Periodic Reports
required under paragraph (e)(6) of this section instead of being
submitted on the schedule specified in Sec. 63.10(d)(5)(i). Said
reports shall include the information specified in paragraphs
(b)(1)(i)(A) through (b)(1)(i)(B) of this section and shall contain the
name, title, and signature of the owner or operator or other
responsible official who is certifying its accuracy.
(2) Application for approval of construction or reconstruction. For
new affected sources, each owner or operator shall comply with the
provisions in Sec. 63.5 regarding construction and reconstruction,
excluding the provisions specified in Sec. 63.5(d)(1)(ii)(H),
(d)(1)(iii), (d)(2), and (d)(3)(ii).
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) Recordkeeping and documentation. Owners or operators required
to keep continuous records shall keep records as specified in
paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(7) of this section, unless an alternative
recordkeeping system has been requested and approved as specified in
paragraph (g) of this section, and except as provided in paragraph (h)
of this section. If a monitoring plan for storage vessels pursuant to
Sec. 63.1314(a)(9) requires continuous records, the monitoring plan
shall specify which provisions, if any, of paragraphs (d)(1) through
(d)(7) of this section apply. As described in Sec. 63.1314(a)(9),
certain storage vessels are not required to keep continuous records as
specified in this paragraph. Owners and operators of such storage
vessels shall keep records as specified in the monitoring plan required
by Sec. 63.1314(a)(9). Paragraphs (d)(8) and (d)(9) of this section
specify documentation requirements.
* * * * *
(2) The owner or operator shall record either each measured data
value or 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. Owners or operators of batch
process vents shall record each measured data value.
(3) Daily average (or batch cycle daily average) values of each
continuously monitored parameter shall be calculated for each operating
day as specified in paragraphs (d)(3)(i) through (d)(3)(ii) of this
section, except as specified in paragraphs (d)(6) and (d)(7) of this
section.
(i) The daily average value or batch cycle daily average shall be
calculated as the average of all parameter values recorded during the
operating day, except as specified in paragraph (d)(7) of this section.
For batch process vents, as specified in Sec. 63.1326(e)(2)(i), only
parameter values measured during those batch emission episodes, or
portions thereof, in the batch cycle that the owner or operator has
chosen to control shall be used to calculate the average. The
calculated average shall cover a 24-hour period if operation is
continuous, or the number of hours of operation per operating day if
operation is not continuous.
(ii) The operating day shall be the period the owner or operator
specifies in the operating permit or the Notification of Compliance
Status for purposes of determining daily average values or batch cycle
daily average values of monitored parameters.
(4) [Reserved.]
(5) [Reserved.]
(6) Records required when all recorded values are within the
established limits. If all recorded values for a monitored parameter
during an operating day are above the minimum level or below the
maximum level established in the Notification of Compliance Status or
operating permit, the owner or operator may record that all values were
above the minimum level or below the maximum level rather than
calculating and recording a daily average (or batch cycle daily
average) for that operating day.
(7) Monitoring data recorded during periods identified in
paragraphs (d)(7)(i) through (d)(7)(v) of this section 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 or recovery device operation
when monitors are not operating.
(i) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments;
(ii) Start-ups;
(iii) Shutdowns;
(iv) Malfunctions;
(v) Periods of non-operation of the affected source (or portion
thereof), resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the
monitoring applies.
(8) For continuous monitoring systems used to comply with this
subpart, records documenting the completion of calibration checks, and
records documenting the maintenance of continuous monitoring systems
that are specified in the manufacturer's instructions or that are
specified in other written procedures that provide adequate assurance
that the equipment would reasonably be expected to monitor accurately.
(9) The owner or operator of an affected source granted a waiver
under Sec. 63.10(f) shall maintain the information, if any, specified
by the Administrator as a condition of the waiver of recordkeeping or
reporting requirements.
(e) Reporting and notification. In addition to the reports and
notifications required by subpart A of this part as specified in Table
1 of this subpart, the owner or operator of an affected source shall
prepare and submit the reports listed in paragraphs (e)(3) through
(e)(8) of this section, as applicable. All reports required by this
subpart, and the schedule for their submittal, are listed in Table 9 of
this subpart.
(1) Owners and operators shall not be in violation of the reporting
requirements of this subpart for failing to submit information required
to be included in a specified report if the owner or operator meets the
requirements in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) through (e)(1)(iii) of this
section. Examples of circumstances where this paragraph may apply
include information related to newly-added equipment or emission
points, changes in the process, changes in equipment required or
utilized for compliance with the requirements of this subpart, or
changes in methods or equipment for monitoring, recordkeeping, or
reporting.
(i) The information was not known in time for inclusion in the
report specified by this subpart;
(ii) The owner or operator has been diligent in obtaining the
information; and
(iii) The owner or operator submits a report according to the
provisions of paragraphs (e)(1)(iii)(A) through (e)(1)(iii)(C) of this
section.
(A) If this subpart expressly provides for supplements to the
report in which the information is required, the owner or operator
shall submit the information as a supplement to that report. The
information shall be submitted no later than 60 days after it is
obtained, unless otherwise specified in this subpart.
(B) If this subpart does not expressly provide for supplements, but
the owner or operator must submit a request for revision of an
operating permit pursuant to part 70 or part 71, due to circumstances
to which the information pertains, the owner or operator shall submit
the information with the request for revision to the operating permit.
(C) In any case not addressed by paragraph (e)(1)(iii)(A) or
(e)(1)(iii)(B) of
[[Page 11693]]
this paragraph, the owner or operator shall submit the information with
the first Periodic Report, as required by this subpart, which has a
submission deadline at least 60 days after the information is obtained.
(2) All reports required under this subpart shall be sent to the
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec. 63.13. If
acceptable to both the Administrator and the owner or operator of an
affected source, reports may be submitted on electronic media.
(3) Precompliance Report. Owners or operators of affected sources
requesting an extension for compliance; requesting approval to use
alternative monitoring parameters, alternative continuous monitoring
and recordkeeping, or alternative controls; requesting approval to use
engineering assessment to estimate emissions from a batch emissions

for each required record. If the description changes, the owner or
operator shall retain both the current and the most recent superseded
description, as provided in paragraph (a) of this section, except as
provided in paragraph (h)(1)(vi)(D) of this section.
(C) A description, and the date, of any change to the monitoring
system that would reasonably be expected to impair its ability to
comply with the requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of this section.
(D) Owners and operators subject to paragraph (h)(1)(vi)(B) of this
section shall retain the current description of the monitoring system
as long as the description is current. The current description shall,
at all times, be retained on-site 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 all superseded
descriptions for at least 5 years after the date of their creation.
Superseded descriptions shall be retained on-site (or accessible from a
central location by computer or other means that provides access within
2 hours after a request) for at least 6 months after their creation.
Thereafter, superseded descriptions may be stored off-site.
(2) * * *
(i) If the owner or operator elects not to retain the daily average
(or batch cycle daily average) values, the owner or operator shall
notify the Administrator in the next Periodic Report as specified in
paragraph (e)(6)(x) of this section. The notification shall identify
the parameter and unit of equipment.
