Sec.  63.1515  Notifications.



    (a) Initial notifications. The owner or operator must submit initial 

notifications to the applicable permitting authority as described in 

paragraphs (a)(1) through (7) of this section.

    (1) As required by Sec.  63.9(b)(1), the owner or operator must 

provide notification for an area source that subsequently increases its 

emissions such that the source is a major source subject to the 

standard.

    (2) As required by Sec.  63.9(b)(3), the owner or operator of a new 

or reconstructed affected source, or a source that has been 

reconstructed such that it is an affected source, that has an initial 

startup after the effective date of this subpart and for which an 

application for approval of construction or reconstruction is not 

required under Sec.  63.5(d), must provide notification that the source 

is subject to the standard.

    (3) As required by Sec.  63.9(b)(4), the owner or operator of a new 

or reconstructed major affected source that has an initial startup after 

the effective date of this subpart and for which an application for 

approval of construction or reconstruction is required by Sec.  63.5(d) 

must provide the following notifications:

    (i) Intention to construct a new major affected source, reconstruct 

a major source, or reconstruct a major source such that the source 

becomes a major affected source;

    (ii) Date when construction or reconstruction was commenced 

(submitted simultaneously with the application for approval of 

construction or reconstruction if construction or reconstruction was 

commenced before the effective date of this subpart, or no later than 30 

days after the date construction or reconstruction commenced if 

construction or reconstruction commenced after the effective date of 

this subpart);

    (iii) Anticipated date of startup; and

    (iv) Actual date of startup.

    (4) As required by Sec.  63.9(b)(5), after the effective date of 

this subpart, an owner or operator who intends to construct a new 

affected source or reconstruct an affected source subject to this 

subpart, or reconstruct a source such that it becomes an affected source 

subject to this subpart, must provide notification of the intended 

construction or reconstruction. The notification must include all the 

information required for an application for approval of construction or 

reconstruction as required by Sec.  63.5(d). For major sources, the 

application for approval of construction or reconstruction may be used 

to fulfill these requirements.

    (i) The application must be submitted as soon as practicable before 

the construction or reconstruction is planned to commence (but no sooner 

than the effective date) if the construction or reconstruction commences 

after the effective date of this subpart; or



[[Page 81]]



    (ii) The application must be submitted as soon as practicable before 

startup but no later than 90 days after the effective date of this 

subpart if the construction or reconstruction had commenced and initial 

startup had not occurred before the effective date.

    (5) As required by Sec.  63.9(d), the owner or operator must provide 

notification of any special compliance obligations for a new source.

    (6) As required by Sec.  63.9(e) and (f), the owner or operator must 

provide notification of the anticipated date for conducting performance 

tests and visible emission observations. The owner or operator must 

notify the Administrator of the intent to conduct a performance test at 

least 60 days before the performance test is scheduled; notification of 

opacity or visible emission observations for a performance test must be 

provided at least 30 days before the observations are scheduled to take 

place.

    (7) As required by Sec.  63.9(g), the owner or operator must provide 

additional notifications for sources with continuous emission monitoring 

systems or continuous opacity monitoring systems.

    (b) Notification of compliance status report. Each owner or operator 

of an existing affected source must submit a notification of compliance 

status report within 60 days after the compliance date established by 

Sec.  63.1501(a). Each owner or operator of a new affected source must 

submit a notification of compliance status report within 90 days after 

conducting the initial performance test required by Sec.  63.1511(b), or 

within 90 days after the compliance date established by Sec.  63.1501(b) 

if no initial performance test is required. The notification must be 

signed by the responsible official who must certify its accuracy. A 

complete notification of compliance status report must include the 

information specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (10) of this section. 

The required information may be submitted in an operating permit 

application, in an amendment to an operating permit application, in a 

separate submittal, or in any combination. In a State with an approved 

operating permit program where delegation of authority under section 

112(l) of the CAA has not been requested or approved, the owner or 

operator must provide duplicate notification to the applicable Regional 

Administrator. If an owner or operator submits the information specified 

in this section at different times or in different submittals, later 

submittals may refer to earlier submittals instead of duplicating and 

resubmitting the information previously submitted. A complete 

notification of compliance status report must include:

    (1) All information required in Sec.  63.9(h). The owner or operator 

must provide a complete performance test report for each affected source 

and emission unit for which a performance test is required. A complete 

performance test report includes all data, associated measurements, and 

calculations (including visible emission and opacity tests).

    (2) The approved site-specific test plan and performance evaluation 

test results for each continuous monitoring system (including a 

continuous emission or opacity monitoring system).

    (3) Unit labeling as described in Sec.  63.1506(b), including 

process type or furnace classification and operating requirements.

    (4) The compliant operating parameter value or range established for 

each affected source or emission unit with supporting documentation and 

a description of the procedure used to establish the value (e.g., lime 

injection rate, total reactive chlorine flux injection rate, afterburner 

operating temperature, fabric filter inlet temperature), including the 

operating cycle or time period used in the performance test.

    (5) Design information and analysis, with supporting documentation, 

demonstrating conformance with the requirements for capture/collection 

systems in Sec.  63.1506(c).

    (6) If applicable, analysis and supporting documentation 

demonstrating conformance with EPA guidance and specifications for bag 

leak detection systems in Sec.  63.1510(f).

    (7) Manufacturer's specification or analysis documenting the design 

residence time of no less than 1 second for each afterburner used to 

control emissions from a scrap dryer/delacquering



[[Page 82]]



kiln/decoating kiln subject to alternative emission standards in Sec.  

63.1505(e).

    (8) Manufacturer's specification or analysis documenting the design 

residence time of no less than 0.8 seconds and design operating 

temperature of no less than 1,600 [deg]F for each afterburner used to 

control emissions from a sweat furnace that is not subject to a 

performance test.

    (9) The OM&M plan (including site-specific monitoring plan for each 

group 1 furnace with no add-on air pollution control device).

    (10) Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, with revisions.
