(b) You must report each instance in which you did not meet each compliance option, operating requirement, and work practice requirement in Tables 7 and 8 to this subpart that applies to you. This includes periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction and periods of control device maintenance specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section. These instances are deviations from the compliance options, operating requirements, and work practice requirements in this subpart. These deviations must be reported according to the requirements in § 63.2281.

(1) -(2) [Reserved]

(3) Deviations that occur during periods of control device maintenance covered by any approved routine control device maintenance exemption are not violations if you demonstrate to the EPA Administrator's satisfaction that you were operating in accordance with the approved routine control device maintenance exemption.

(4) Instances of safety-related shutdown, pressurized refiner startup and shutdown, and startup and shutdown of direct-fired softwood veneer dryer gas-fired burners subject to the work practice requirements in table 3 to this subpart (rows 6 through 8) must be reported as required in § 63.2281(c)(4). Instances when the work practice requirements in table 3 to this subpart (rows 6 through 8) are used are not considered to be deviations from (or violations of) the otherwise applicable compliance options, operating requirements and work practice requirements (in rows 1 through 5 of table 3 to this subpart) as long as you do not exceed the minimum amount of time necessary for these events and continuously monitor process unit bypass stack usage during the events as required in § 63.2240(e) and table 2 to this subpart.

(d) The following combustion unit tune-up and bypass stack monitoring requirements must be conducted for all direct-fired dryers (including direct wood-fired PCWP dryers, direct natural gas-fired PCWP dryers, and direct-fired lumber kilns) by the dates specified in § 63.2233(e) and table 3 to this subpart. You must conduct an annual tune-up of each combustion unit used to directly-fire the PCWP dryer or lumber kiln following the procedures in § 63.2271(c) as specified in paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of this section. You must monitor usage of combustion unit bypass stacks (defined in § 63.2292) following the procedures specified in § 63.2269(k) by the compliance date specified in § 63.2233(e).

(1) The initial tune-up must be completed by the compliance date specified in § 63.2233(e). After the initial tune-up, each annual tune-up is required to be completed no more than 13 months after the previous tune-up.

(2) If a combustion unit that direct-fires a PCWP dryer or lumber kiln is not operating on the required date for a tune-up, the tune-up must be conducted within 30 calendar days of startup of the combustion unit for the purpose of direct-firing a PCWP dryer or lumber kiln.

(3) For combustion units with tune-up requirements in this subpart, you may use documentation (required in § 63.7550(c)(1)) of the tune-up conducted according to §§ 63.7515(d) and 63.7540(a)(10), in place of the annual combustion unit tune-up requirements in this paragraph (d) and § 63.2271(c), provided the documentation required in § 63.7550(c)(1) is provided according to the schedule in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section.
