                                 General





    (a) The requirements of this subpart apply to the owner or operator 

of each secondary aluminum production facility as defined in Sec.  

63.1503.

    (b) The requirements of this subpart apply to the following affected 

sources, located at a secondary aluminum production facility that is a 

major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) as defined in Sec.  

63.2:

    (1) Each new and existing aluminum scrap shredder;

    (2) Each new and existing thermal chip dryer;

    (3) Each new and existing scrap dryer/delacquering kiln/decoating 

kiln;

    (4) Each new and existing group 2 furnace;

    (5) Each new and existing sweat furnace;

    (6) Each new and existing dross-only furnace;

    (7) Each new and existing rotary dross cooler; and

    (8) Each new and existing secondary aluminum processing unit.

    (c) The requirements of this subpart pertaining to dioxin and furan 

(D/F) emissions and associated operating, monitoring, reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements apply to the following affected sources, 

located at a secondary aluminum production facility that is an area 

source of HAPs as defined in Sec.  63.2:

    (1) Each new and existing thermal chip dryer;

    (2) Each new and existing scrap dryer/delacquering kiln/decoating 

kiln;

    (3) Each new and existing sweat furnace;

    (4) Each new and existing secondary aluminum processing unit, 

containing one or more group 1 furnace emission units processing other 

than clean charge.

    (d) The requirements of this subpart do not apply to facilities and 

equipment used for research and development that are not used to produce 

a saleable product.

    (e) If you are an owner or operator of an area source subject to 

this subpart,

you are exempt from the obligation to obtain a permit under 40 CFR part 

70 or 71, provided you are not required to obtain a permit under 40 CFR 

70.3(a) or 71.3(a) for a reason other than your status as an area source 

under this subpart. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, you must 

continue to comply with the provisions of this subpart applicable to 

area sources.

    (f) An aluminum die casting facility, aluminum foundry, or aluminum 

extrusion facility shall be considered to be an area source if it does 

not emit, or have the potential to emit considering controls, 10 tons 

per year or more of any single listed HAP or 25 tons per year of any 

combination of listed HAP from all emission sources which are located in 

a contiguous area and under common control, without regard to whether or 

not such sources are regulated under this subpart or any other subpart. 

In the case of an aluminum die casting facility, aluminum foundry, or 

aluminum extrusion facility which is an area source and is subject to 

regulation under this subpart only because it operates a thermal chip 

dryer, no furnace operated by such a facility shall be deemed to be 

subject to the requirements of this subpart if it melts only clean 

charge, internal scrap, or customer returns.
