Section 45-21-4 - Compliance Certification, Recordkeeping, and Reporting Procedures for Coating Sources

4.1. To establish the records required under this section 4., the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of each coating, as applied, and the efficiency of each capture system and control device shall be determined by the applicable test methods and procedures specified in subsections 42. and 44.

4.2. Requirements for coating sources exempt from emission limitations. -- Any owner or operator of a coating line or operation that is exempt from the emission limitations of sections 11. through 19. because combined VOC emissions from all coating lines and operations at the facility are below the applicability threshold specified in the individual sections of this regulation, before the application of capture systems and control devices, shall comply with the following for each of sections 11. through 19. from which the owner or operator claims an exemption:

4.2.1. Certification. -- The owner or operator of a facility referenced in subsection 4.2. shall certify to the Secretary that the facility is exempt by providing the following:

4.2.1.a. Name and location of the facility;

4.2.1.b. Address and telephone number of the person responsible for the facility;

4.2.1.c. A declaration that the facility is exempt from the emission limitations of sections 11. through 19. because combined VOC emissions from all coating lines and operations at the facility are below the applicability threshold before the application of capture systems and control devices; and

4.2.1.d. Calculations of the daily-weighted average that demonstrate that the combined VOC emissions from all coating lines and operations at the facility for a day representative of current maximum production levels are 6.8 kilograms (kg) (15 pounds [lb]) or less before the application of capture systems and control devices. The following equation shall be used to calculate total VOC emissions for that day:
