Section 1200-03-18-.03 - COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION, RECORDKEEPING, AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR COATING AND PRINTING SOURCES(1) Certification, recordkeeping, and/or reporting requirements specified in source - category specific rules of this chapter shall take precedence over the requirements of this rule. To establish the records required under this rule, the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of each coating or ink, as applied, and the efficiency of each capture system and control device shall be determined by the applicable test methods and procedures specified and referenced in this chapter.(2) Any owner or operator of a coating or printing line or operation that is exempt from emission limitations of this chapter because combined VOC emissions from otherwise - subject lines and operations at the facility are below the 6.8-kilograms (kg) (15-pounds (lb))-per-day applicability threshold specified in the applicable rule of this chapter, before the application of capture systems and control devices, shall comply with the following for each rule from which the owner or operator claims an exemption:(a) By April 22, 1994, the owner or operator shall certify to the Technical Secretary that the facility is exempt by providing the following: 1. Name and location of the facility;2. Address and telephone number of the person responsible for the facility;3. A declaration that the facility is exempt from emission limitations of this chapter because combined VOC emissions from otherwise - subject lines and operations are below the appropriate applicability threshold before the application of capture systems and control devices; and4. Calculations that demonstrate that the combined VOC emissions from otherwise - subject lines and operations 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: Click to view Image
where:
T = Total VOC emissions from otherwise - subject lines and operations at the facility, before the application of capture systems and control devices, in units of kg/day (lb/day);
n = Number of different coatings or inks applied on each otherwise - subject line or operation at the facility;
i = Subscript denoting an individual coating or ink;
Ai = Mass of VOC per volume of coating or ink (i) (excluding water and/or i exempt compounds), as applied, in units of kilograms VOC per liter (kg VOC/L) (pounds VOC per gallon [lb VOC/gal]); and
Bi = Volume of coating or ink (i) (excluding water and/or exempt compounds), i as applied, in units of liters per day (L/day) (gallons per day [gal/day]). The instrument or method by which the owner or operator accurately measured or calculated the volume of each coating or ink, as applied, used shall be described in the certification to the Technical Secretary.
(b) On and after April 22, 1994, the owner or operator shall collect and record the following information each day or, for an alternate longer period which has been approved by the Technical Secretary and the EPA during which the applicable threshold is not exceeded and maintain the information at the facility for a period of 3 years: 1.

Any record showing use of any non-complying coatings and/or inks shall be reported by sending a copy of such record to the Technical Secretary within 30 calendar days following that use, and2. At least 30 calendar days before changing the method of compliance from the use of complying coatings and/or inks to daily-weighted averaging or control devices, the owner or operator shall comply with all requirements of Subparagraph (4)(a) or (5)(a) of this rule, respectively.(4) Any owner or operator of a coating or printing line or operation subject to the limitations of this chapter and complying by means of weighted averaging on that line or operation shall comply with the following: (a) By April 22, 1994, or upon startup of a new line or operation, or upon changing the method of compliance for a subject line or operation from the use of complying coatings and/or inks or control devices to daily-weighted averaging, the owner or operator shall certify to the Technical Secretary that the line or operation is in compliance with the requirements of this paragraph. Such certification shall include: 1. The name and location of the facility;2. The address and telephone number of the person responsible for the facility;3. Identification of subject sources;4.
