Sec.  63.1516  Reports.



    (a) Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan/reports. The owner or 

operator must develop a written plan as described in Sec.  63.6(e)(3) 

that contains specific procedures to be followed for operating and 

maintaining the source during periods of startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction, and a program of corrective action for malfunctioning 

process and air pollution control equipment used to comply with the 

standard. The owner or operator shall also keep records of each event as 

required by Sec.  63.10(b) and record and report if an action taken 

during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction is not consistent with the 

procedures in the plan as described in Sec.  63.6(e)(3). In addition to 

the information required in Sec.  63.6(e)(3), the plan must include:

    (1) Procedures to determine and record the cause of the malfunction 

and the time the malfunction began and ended; and

    (2) Corrective actions to be taken in the event of a malfunction of 

a process or control device, including procedures for recording the 

actions taken to correct the malfunction or minimize emissions.

    (b) Excess emissions/summary report. The owner or operator must 

submit semiannual reports according to the requirements in Sec.  

63.10(e)(3). Except, the owner or operator must submit the semiannual 

reports within 60 days after the end of each 6-month period instead of 

within 30 days after the calendar half as specified in Sec.  

63.10(e)(3)(v). When no deviations of parameters have occurred, the 

owner or operator must submit a report stating that no excess emissions 

occurred during the reporting period.

    (1) A report must be submitted if any of these conditions occur 

during a 6-month reporting period:

    (i) The corrective action specified in the OM&M plan for a bag leak 

detection system alarm was not initiated within 1 hour.

    (ii) The corrective action specified in the OM&M plan for a 

continuous opacity monitoring deviation was not initiated within 1 hour.

    (iii) The corrective action specified in the OM&M plan for visible 

emissions from an aluminum scrap shredder was not initiated within 1 

hour.

    (iv) An excursion of a compliant process or operating parameter 

value or range (e.g., lime injection rate or screw feeder setting, total 

reactive chlorine flux injection rate, afterburner operating 

temperature, fabric filter inlet temperature, definition of acceptable 

scrap, or other approved operating parameter).

    (v) An action taken during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction was 

not consistent with the procedures in the plan as described in Sec.  

63.6(e)(3).

    (vi) An affected source (including an emission unit in a secondary 

aluminum processing unit) was not operated according to the requirements 

of this subpart.

    (vii) A deviation from the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average emission 

limit for a secondary aluminum processing unit.

    (2) Each report must include each of these certifications, as 

applicable:

    (i) For each thermal chip dryer: ``Only unpainted aluminum chips 

were used as feedstock in any thermal chip dryer during this reporting 

period.''

    (ii) For each dross-only furnace: ``Only dross and salt flux were 

used as the charge materials in any dross-only furnace during this 

reporting period.''

    (iii) For each sidewell group 1 furnace with add-on air pollution 

control devices: ``Each furnace was operated such that the level of 

molten metal remained above the top of the passage between the sidewell 

and hearth during



[[Page 83]]



reactive fluxing, and reactive flux, except for cover flux, was added 

only to the sidewell or to a furnace hearth equipped with an add-on air 

pollution control device for PM, HCl, and D/F emissions during this 

reporting period.''

    (iv) For each group 1 melting/holding furnace without add-on air 

pollution control devices and using pollution prevention measures that 

processes only clean charge material: ``Each group 1 furnace without 

add-on air pollution control devices subject to emission limits in Sec.  

63.1505(i)(2) processed only clean charge during this reporting 

period.''

    (v) For each group 2 furnace: ``Only clean charge materials were 

processed in any group 2 furnace during this reporting period, and no 

fluxing was performed or all fluxing performed was conducted using only 

nonreactive, non-HAP-containing/non-HAP-generating fluxing gases or 

agents, except for cover fluxes, during this reporting period.''

    (vi) For each in-line fluxer using no reactive flux: ``Only 

nonreactive, non-HAP-containing, non-HAP-generating flux gases, agents, 

or materials were used at any time during this reporting period.''

    (3) The owner or operator must submit the results of any performance 

test conducted during the reporting period, including one complete 

report documenting test methods and procedures, process operation, and 

monitoring parameter ranges or values for each test method used for a 

particular type of emission point tested.

    (c) Annual compliance certifications. For the purpose of annual 

certifications of compliance required by 40 CFR part 70 or 71, the owner 

or operator must certify continuing compliance based upon, but not 

limited to, the following conditions:

    (1) Any period of excess emissions, as defined in paragraph (b)(1) 

of this section, that occurred during the year were reported as required 

by this subpart; and

    (2) All monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements were 

met during the year.
