NR 466.10.
(b) The owner or operator has met the requirements of either s. NR 460.06(4) (b) 3. or (7).
(c) The control device is a solvent recovery system and the owner or operator chooses to comply by means of a monthly liquid-liquid material balance as provided for in s. NR 466.06(4) (a) 1. and 466.07(4) (a) 1.
(2) ORGANIC HAP WEIGHT-FRACTION.
(a) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of s. NR 466.06, the organic HAP weight-fraction of each ink, coating, varnish, adhesive, primer, solvent and other material used in a publication rotogravure affected source shall be determined in accordance with one of the following procedures:

The owner or operator may use Method 25A in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04, if any of the following conditions are met:
a. An exhaust gas organic volatile matter concentration of 50 parts per million by volume (ppmv) or less is required to comply with the standards of s. NR 466.06 or 466.07.
b. The organic volatile matter concentration at the inlet to the control system and the required level of control are such to result in exhaust gas organic volatile matter concentrations of 50 ppmv or less.
c. Because of the high efficiency of the control device, the anticipated organic volatile matter concentration at the control device exhaust is 50 ppmv or less, regardless of inlet concentration.
7. Each performance test shall consist of 3 separate runs; each run conducted for at least one hour under the conditions that exist when the affected source is operating under normal representative operating conditions. Operations during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction do not constitute representative conditions for the purpose of a performance test. For the purpose of determining organic volatile matter concentrations and mass flow rates, the average of results of all runs shall apply.

For an oxidizer other than catalytic oxidizer, the owner or operator shall establish as the operating parameter the minimum combustion temperature. For a catalytic oxidizer, the owner or operator shall establish as the operating parameter the minimum gas temperature at the inlet to the catalyst bed. These minimum temperatures are the operating parameter values that demonstrate continuing compliance with the requirements of ss. NR 466.06 and 466.07.
(5) CAPTURE EFFICIENCY. Except as provided for in sub.

(6) ALTERNATIVE CAPTURE EFFICIENCY. As an alternative to the procedures specified in sub. (5), an owner or operator required to conduct a capture efficiency test may use any capture efficiency protocol and test methods that satisfy the criteria of either the data quality objective (DQO) or the lower confidence limit (LCL) approach in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart KK, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04. The owner or operator may exclude never-controlled work stations from the capture efficiency determinations.
