    (b) The affected source covered by this subpart is each new, reconstructed, or existing solvent mixer (as defined in §63.9565) at your friction materials manufacturing facility.
    (c) A solvent mixer at your friction materials manufacturing facility is new if you commence construction of the solvent mixer after October 18, 2002. An affected source is reconstructed if it meets the definition of "reconstruction" in §63.2, and reconstruction is commenced after October 18, 2002.
    (d) A solvent mixer at your friction materials manufacturing facility is existing if it is not new or reconstructed.

Emission Limitations
§63.9500   What emission limitations must I meet?
    (a) For each new, reconstructed, or existing large solvent mixer at your friction materials manufacturing facility, you must limit HAP solvent emissions to the atmosphere to no more than 30 percent of that which would otherwise be emitted in the absence of solvent recovery and/or solvent substitution, based on a 7-day block average.

After [DATE 180 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF FINAL RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], for each such source you must be in compliance with the emission limitations in this subpart at all times.  For new and reconstructed sources for which construction or reconstruction commenced after [DATE OF PUBLICATION OF PROPOSED RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], you must be in compliance with the emissions limitations in this subpart at all times. 
     (b) Before [DATE 181 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF FINAL RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], for each existing source, and for each new or reconstructed source for which constructed or reconstructed commenced after October 18, 2002, but before [DATE 1 DAY AFTER PUBLICATION OF PROPOSED RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], Yyou must always operate and maintain your affected source, including air pollution control and monitoring equipment, according to the provisions in §63.6(e)(1)(i).

The general duty to minimize emissions does not require you to make any further efforts to reduce emissions if levels required by the applicable standard have been achieved. Determination of whether a source is operating in compliance with operation and maintenance requirements will be based on information available to the Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the source.
    (c) Before [DATE 181 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF FINAL RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], for each existing source, and for each new or reconstructed source for which construction commenced after October 18, 2002, but before [DATE 1 DAY AFTER PUBLICATION OF PROPOSED RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], Yyou must develop a written startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan according to the provisions in §63.6(e)(3). For each such source, a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is not required after [DATE 180 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF FINAL RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].  No startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is required for any new or reconstructed source for which construction or reconstruction commenced after [DATE OF PUBLICATION OF PROPOSED RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].

    (1) The weight measurement device must have a minimum accuracy of +-0.05 kilograms (+-0.1 pounds) or +-1 percent of the average weight of solvent to be loaded into the solvent mixer, whichever is greater.
    (2) An initial multi-point calibration of the weight measurement device must be made using 5 points spanning the expected range of weight measurements before the weight measurement device can be used. The manufacturer's calibration results can be used to meet this requirement.
    (3) Once per day, an accuracy audit must be made using a single Class F calibration weight that corresponds to 20 to 80 percent of the average weight of solvent to be loaded into the solvent mixer. If the weight measurement device cannot reproduce the value of the calibration weight within +-0.05 kilograms (0.1 pounds) or +-1 percent of the average weight of solvent to be loaded into the solvent mixer, whichever is greater, the scale must be recalibrated before being used again. The recalibration must be performed with at least five Class F calibration weights spanning the expected range of weight measurements.

    7-day block average means an averaging technique for a weekly compliance determination where the calculated values for percent HAP solvent discharged to the atmosphere are averaged together for all mix batches (for which there are valid data) in a 7-day block period according to the equation provided in §63.9520(a)(6).
    Small solvent mixer means a solvent mixer with a design capacity less than 2,000 pounds, including friction ingredients and HAP solvent.
    Solvent mixer means a mixer used in the friction materials manufacturing process in which HAP solvent is used as one of the ingredients in at least one batch during a semiannual reporting period. Trace amounts of HAP solvents in resins or other friction ingredients do not qualify mixers as solvent mixers.
    Solvent recovery system means equipment used for the purpose of recovering the HAP solvent from the exhaust stream. An example of a solvent recovery system is a condenser.
    Solvent substitution means substitution of a non-HAP material for a HAP solvent.
    Startup means bringing equipment online and starting the production process.
    Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan means a plan developed according to the provisions of §63.6(e)(3).
§63.9570   How do I apply for alternative compliance requirements?
    (a) If you use a control technique other than a solvent recovery system and/or solvent substitution, you may request approval to use an alternative method of demonstrating compliance with the emission limitations in §63.9500(a) and (b) according to the procedures in this section.
    (b) You can request approval to use an alternative method of demonstrating compliance in the initial notification for existing sources, the notification of construction or reconstruction for new sources, or at any time.
    (c) You must submit a description of the proposed testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting that will be used and the proposed basis for demonstrating compliance.
    (1) If you have not previously performed testing, you must submit a proposed test plan. If you are seeking permission to use an alternative method of compliance based on previously performed testing, you must submit the results of testing, a description of the procedures followed in testing, and a description of pertinent conditions during testing.
    (2) You must submit a monitoring plan that includes a description of the control technique, test results verifying the performance of the control technique, the appropriate operating parameters that will be monitored, and the frequency of measuring and recording to establish continuous compliance with the emission limitations in §63.9500(a) and (b). You must also include the proposed performance specifications and quality assurance procedures for the monitors. The monitoring plan is subject to the Administrator's approval. You must install, calibrate, operate, and maintain the monitors in accordance with the monitoring plan approved by the Administrator.
    (d) Use of the alternative method of demonstrating compliance must not begin until approval is granted by the Administrator.
