PART 64 - COMPLIANCE ASSURANCE MONITORING--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 64.9  Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) General reporting requirements. (1) On and after the date 
specified in Sec. 64.7(a) by which the owner or operator must 
use monitoring that meets the requirements of this part, the owner or 
operator shall submit monitoring reports to the permitting authority in 
accordance with Sec. 70.6(a)(3)(iii) of this chapter.
    (2) A report for monitoring under this part shall include, at a 
minimum, the information required under Sec. 70.6(a)(3)(iii) 
of this chapter and the following information, as applicable:
    (i) Summary information on the number, duration and cause (including 
unknown cause, if applicable) of excursions or exceedances, as 
applicable, and the corrective actions taken;
    (ii) Summary information on the number, duration and cause 
(including unknown cause, if applicable) for monitor downtime incidents 
(other than downtime associated with zero and span or other daily 
calibration checks, if applicable); and
    (iii) A description of the actions taken to implement a QIP during 
the reporting period as specified in Sec. 64.8. Upon 
completion of a QIP, the owner or operator shall include in the next 
summary report documentation that the implementation of the plan has 
been completed and reduced the likelihood of similar levels of 
excursions or exceedances occurring.
    (b) General recordkeeping requirements. (1) The owner or operator 
shall comply with the recordkeeping requirements specified in 
Sec. 70.6(a)(3)(ii) of this chapter. The owner or operator 
shall maintain records of monitoring data, monitor performance data, 
corrective actions taken, any written quality improvement plan required 
pursuant to Sec. 64.8 and any activities undertaken to 
implement a quality improvement plan, and other supporting information 
required to be maintained under this part (such as data used to document 
the adequacy of monitoring, or records of monitoring maintenance or 
corrective actions).
    (2) Instead of paper records, the owner or operator may maintain 
records on alternative media, such as microfilm, computer files, 
magnetic tape disks, or microfiche, provided that the use of such 
alternative media allows for expeditious inspection and review, and does 
not conflict with other applicable recordkeeping requirements.
