(d) Process change records. The owner or operator shall keep up-to-date, readily accessible records as specified in the following and shall report this information as specified in :
§65.67(b):
(1) If the process vent is Group 2B on the basis of flow rate being less than 0.011 scmm (0.40 standard cubic foot), then the owner or operator shall keep records of any process changes as defined in §65.63(f) that increase the process vent flow rate and any recalculation or measurement of the flow rate pursuant to §65.63(f).
(2) If the process vent is Group 2B on the basis of organic HAP or TOC concentration being less than the applicable value in table 1 to this subpart, then the owner or operator shall keep records of any process changes as defined in §65.63(f) that increase the organic HAP or TOC concentration of the process vent and any recalculation or measurement of the concentration pursuant to §65.63(f).
(3) If the process vent is Group 2A or Group 2B on the basis of the TRE index value being greater than 1.0, then the owner or operator shall keep records of any process changes as defined in §65.63(f) and any recalculation of the TRE index value pursuant to §65.63(f).
(4) As a result of a process change, if a process vent that was Group 2B on any basis becomes a Group 2B process vent only on the basis of having a TRE greater than 4.0, then the owner or operator shall keep records of the TRE index value determination performed according to the sample site and TRE index value determination procedures of §65.64(b)(1) and (h) or determined through engineering assessment as specified in §65.64(i).
(e) Other Group 2A records. An owner or operator of a Group 2A process vent maintaining a TRE index value greater than 1.0 without a recovery device shall record the parameters monitored based on the approved plan as specified in §65.63(d).
§65.67 Reporting provisions.
(a) Initial compliance status report. The owner or operator shall submit as part of the Initial Compliance Status Report specified in §65.5(d) the information recorded in §65.66(a), (b), and (c), as applicable.
(b) Process change.(1) Whenever a process change, as described in §65.63(f), is made that causes a Group 2A or 2B process vent to become a Group 1 process vent or a Group 2B process vent to become a Group 2A process vent, the owner or operator shall either submit a report within 60 days after the performance test or group determination or submit a report included as part of the next periodic report. The report shall include the following information:
(i) A description of the process change;
(ii) The results of the recalculation of the flow rate, organic HAP or TOC concentration, and/or TRE index value required under §65.63(f) and recorded under §65.66(d); and
(iii) A statement that the owner or operator will comply with the provisions of §65.63 by the schedules specified in §65.63(f)(4) through (6).
(2) For process vents that become Group 1 process vents after a process change requiring a performance test to be conducted for the control device being used as specified in subpart G of this part, the owner or operator shall specify that the performance test has become necessary due to a process change. This specification shall be made in the notification to the Administrator of the intent to conduct a performance test as provided in §65.164(b)(1).
(3) Whenever a process change as described in §65.63(f) is made that changes the group status of a process vent from Group 1 to Group 2A, or from Group 1 to Group 2B, or from Group 2A to Group 2B, the owner or operator shall include a statement in the next periodic report after the process change that a process change has been made and the new group status of the process vents.
(4) The owner or operator is not required to submit a report of a process change if one of the following conditions is met:
(i) The change does not meet the definition of a process change in §65.63(f); or
(ii) For a Group 2B process vent, the vent stream flow rate is recalculated according to §65.63(f) and the recalculated value is less than 0.011 standard cubic meter per minute (0.40 standard cubic foot per minute); or
(iii) For a Group 2B process vent, the organic HAP or TOC concentration of the vent stream is recalculated according to §65.63(f), and the recalculated value is less than the applicable value in table 1 to this subpart; or
(iv) For a Group 2B process vent, the TRE index value is recalculated according to §65.63(f) and the recalculated value is greater than 4.0.
(c) Parameters for Group 2A without a recovery device. An owner or operator of a Group 2A process vent maintaining a TRE index value greater than 1.0 without using a recovery device shall report the information specified in the approved plan under §65.63(d).

Table 1 to Subpart D of Part 65 - Concentration for Group Determination
| Referencing subpart | Concentration 1 |
|---|---|
| 1 The 50 ppm HAP concentration cutoff only applies to 40 CFR part 63, subpart G sources. Process vents subject to only 40 CFR part 60, subparts RRR or NNN are eligible for the 300 ppm TOC cutoff. There is no concentration cutoff for subpart III sources. The process vent provisions of subpart DDD are not consolidated under this subpart. 2 For process vents subject to subpart G of 40 CFR part 63, the owner or operator may measure HAP or TOC concentration with regard to the low concentration exemption provisions of this part. | |
| Subpart III of Part 60 | NA. |
| Subpart NNN of Part 60 | 300 ppmv of TOC. |
| Subpart RRR of Part 60 | 300 ppmv of TOC. |
