could not have known about the inspection 30 calendar days in advance of 
refilling the vessel, the owner or operator shall notify the 
Administrator as soon as practical, but no later than 7 calendar days 
prior to the refilling of the storage vessel. Notification may be made 
by telephone and immediately followed by written documentation 
demonstrating why the inspection was unplanned. Alternatively, the 
notification including the written documentation may be made in writing 
and sent so that it is received by the Administrator at least 7 calendar 
days prior to refilling.
    (2) Seal gap measurement notification. In order to afford the 
Administrator the opportunity to have an observer present during seal 
gap measurements, the owner or operator of a storage vessel equipped 
with an external floating roof as specified in Sec.  65.44 shall meet 
either of the following notification requirements, as applicable:
    (i) Notify the Administrator in writing at least 30 calendar days in 
advance of any seal gap measurements; or
    (ii) If the seal gap measurements are not planned and the owner or 
operator could not have known about the seal gap measurements 30 
calendar days in advance, the owner or operator shall notify the 
Administrator as soon as practical, but no later than 7 calendar days 
prior to the seal gap measurements. Notification may be made by 
telephone and immediately followed by written documentation 
demonstrating why the seal gap measurements were unplanned. 
Alternatively, the notification including the written documentation may 
be made in writing and sent so that it is received by the Administrator 
at least 7 calendar days prior to refilling.
    (3) Notification waiver. Where a notification required by paragraphs 
(c)(1) or (2) of this section is sent to a delegated State or local 
agency, a copy of the notification to the Administrator is not required. 
A delegated State or local agency may waive the requirements for these 
notifications.
    (d) Compliance certification. For sources subject to the compliance 
certification provisions of title V, a recertification of continuous 
compliance with Sec.  65.43(b)(1) and Sec.  65.44(b)(1) shall be based 
on the annual inspections required by Sec.  65.43(c)(1)(i) and 
(c)(2)(ii)(A)
