63.569-63.599 [Reserved]



    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.



    Source: 57 FR 61992, Dec. 29, 1992, unless otherwise noted.





    Source: 59 FR 12430, Mar. 16, 1994, unless otherwise noted.





    (a) General. (1) Terms used throughout this part are defined in 

Sec.  63.2 or in the Clean Air Act (Act) as amended in 1990, except that 

individual subparts of this part may include specific definitions in 

addition to or that supersede definitions in Sec.  63.2.

    (2) This part contains national emission standards for hazardous air 

pollutants (NESHAP) established pursuant to section 112 of the Act as 

amended November 15, 1990. These standards regulate specific categories 

of stationary sources that emit (or have the potential to emit) one or 

more hazardous air pollutants listed in this part pursuant to section 

112(b) of the Act. This section explains the applicability of such 

standards to sources affected by them. The standards in this part are 

independent of NESHAP contained in 40 CFR part 61. The NESHAP in part 61 

promulgated by signature of the Administrator before November 15, 1990 

(i.e., the date of enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990) 

remain in effect until they are amended, if appropriate, and added to 

this part.

    (3) No emission standard or other requirement established under this 

part shall be interpreted, construed, or applied to diminish or replace 

the requirements of a more stringent emission limitation or other 

applicable requirement established by the Administrator pursuant to 

other authority of the Act (section 111, part C or D or any other 

authority of this Act), or a standard issued under State authority. The 

Administrator may specify in a specific standard under this part that 

facilities subject to other provisions under the Act need only comply 

with the provisions of that standard.

    (4)(i) Each relevant standard in this part 63 must identify 

explicitly whether each provision in this subpart A is or is not 

included in such relevant standard.

    (ii) If a relevant part 63 standard incorporates the requirements of 

40 CFR part 60, part 61 or other part 63 standards, the relevant part 63 

standard must identify explicitly the applicability of each 

corresponding part 60, part 61, or other part 63 subpart A (General) 

provision.

    (iii) The General Provisions in this subpart A do not apply to 

regulations developed pursuant to section 112(r) of the amended Act, 

unless otherwise specified in those regulations.

    (5) [Reserved]

    (6) To obtain the most current list of categories of sources to be 

regulated under section 112 of the Act, or to obtain the most recent 

regulation promulgation schedule established pursuant to section 112(e) 

of the Act, contact the Office of the Director, Emission Standards 

Division, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. EPA (MD-

13), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.

    (7)-(9) [Reserved]

    (10) For the purposes of this part, time periods specified in days 

shall be measured in calendar days, even if the word ``calendar'' is 

absent, unless otherwise specified in an applicable requirement.

    (11) For the purposes of this part, if an explicit postmark deadline 

is not specified in an applicable requirement for the submittal of a 

notification, application, test plan, report, or other written 

communication to the Administrator, the owner or operator shall postmark 

the submittal on or before the number of days specified in the 

applicable requirement. For example, if a notification must be submitted 

15 days before a particular event is scheduled to take place, the 

notification shall be postmarked on or before 15 days preceding the 

event; likewise, if a notification must be submitted 15 days after a 

particular event takes place, the notification shall be postmarked on or 

before 15 days following the end of the event. The use of reliable non-

Government mail carriers that provide indications of verifiable delivery 

of information required to be submitted to the



[[Page 12]]



Administrator, similar to the postmark provided by the U.S. Postal 

Service, or alternative means of delivery agreed to by the permitting 

authority, is acceptable.

    (12) Notwithstanding time periods or postmark deadlines specified in 

this part 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. 

Procedures governing the implementation of this provision are specified 

in Sec.  63.9(i).

    (b) Initial applicability determination for this part. (1) The 

provisions of this part apply to the owner or operator of any stationary 

source that--

    (i) Emits or has the potential to emit any hazardous air pollutant 

listed in or pursuant to section 112(b) of the Act; and

    (ii) Is subject to any standard, limitation, prohibition, or other 

federally enforceable requirement established pursuant to this part.

    (2) [Reserved]

    (3) An owner or operator of a stationary source who is in the 

relevant source category and who determines that the source is not 

subject to a relevant standard or other requirement established under 

this part must keep a record as specified in Sec.  63.10(b)(3).

    (c) Applicability of this part after a relevant standard has been 

set under this part. (1) If a relevant standard has been established 

under this part, the owner or operator of an affected source must comply 

with the provisions of that standard and of this subpart as provided in 

paragraph (a)(4) of this section.

    (2) Except as provided in Sec.  63.10(b)(3), if a relevant standard 

has been established under this part, the owner or operator of an 

affected source may be required to obtain a title V permit from a 

permitting authority in the State in which the source is located. 

Emission standards promulgated in this part for area sources pursuant to 

section 112(c)(3) of the Act will specify whether--

    (i) States will have the option to exclude area sources affected by 

that standard from the requirement to obtain a title V permit (i.e., the 

standard will exempt the category of area sources altogether from the 

permitting requirement);

    (ii) States will have the option to defer permitting of area sources 

in that category until the Administrator takes rulemaking action to 

determine applicability of the permitting requirements; or

    (iii) If a standard fails to specify what the permitting 

requirements will be for area sources affected by such a standard, then 

area sources that are subject to the standard will be subject to the 

requirement to obtain a title V permit without any deferral.

    (3)-(4) [Reserved]

    (5) If an area source that otherwise would be subject to an emission 

standard or other requirement established under this part if it were a 

major source subsequently increases its emissions of hazardous air 

pollutants (or its potential to emit hazardous air pollutants) such that 

the source is a major source that is subject to the emission standard or 

other requirement, such source also shall be subject to the notification 

requirements of this subpart.

    (d) [Reserved]

    (e) If the Administrator promulgates an emission standard under 

section 112(d) or (h) of the Act that is applicable to a source subject 

to an emission limitation by permit established under section 112(j) of 

the Act, and the requirements under the section 112(j) emission 

limitation are substantially as effective as the promulgated emission 

standard, the owner or operator may request the permitting authority to 

revise the source's title V permit to reflect that the emission 

limitation in the permit satisfies the requirements of the promulgated 

emission standard. The process by which the permitting authority 

determines whether the section 112(j) emission limitation is 

substantially as effective as the promulgated emission standard must 

include, consistent with part 70 or 71 of this chapter, the opportunity 

for full public, EPA, and affected State review (including the 

opportunity for EPA's objection) prior to the permit revision

being finalized. A negative determination by the permitting authority 

constitutes final action for purposes of review and appeal under the 

applicable title V operating permit program.
