(7) Documentation supporting the delay of repair of a valve in compliance with Sec. 264.1059(c). (8) The signature of the owner or operator (or designate) whose decision it was that repair could not be effected without a hazardous waste management unit shutdown. [[Page 397]] (9) The expected date of successful repair of the leak if a leak is not repaired within 15 calendar days. (10) The date of successful repair of the leak. (e) Design documentation and monitoring, operating, and inspection information for each closed-vent system and control device required to comply with the provisions of Sec. 264.1060 shall be recorded and kept up-to-date in the facility operating record as specified in Sec. 264.1035(c). Design documentation is specified in Sec. 264.1035 (c)(1) and (c)(2) and monitoring, operating, and in spection information in Sec. 264.1035 (c)(3)-(c)(8). (f) For a control device other than a thermal vapor incinerator, catalytic vapor incinerator, flare, boiler, process heater, condenser, or carbon adsorption system, the Regional Administrator will specify the appropriate recordkeeping requirements. (g) The following information pertaining to all equipment subject to the requirements in Sec. Sec. 264.1052 through 264.1060 shall be recorded in a log that is kept in the facility operating record: (1) A list of identification numbers for equipment (except welded fittings) subject to the requirements of this subpart. (2)(i) A list of identification numbers for equipment that the owner or operator elects to designate for no detectable emissions, as indicated by an instrument reading of less than 500 ppm above background, under the provisions of Sec. Sec. 264.1052(e), 264.1053(i), and 264.1057(f). (ii) The designation of this equipment as subject to the requirements of Sec. Sec. 264.1052(e), 264.1053(i), or 264.1057(f) shall be signed by the owner or operator.

If the owner or operator takes any action (e.g., changing the process that produced the waste) that could result in an increase in the total organic content of the waste contained in or contacted by equipment determined not to be subject to the requirements in Sec. Sec. 264.1052 through 264.1060, then a new determination is required. (l) Records of the equipment leak information required by paragraph (d) of this section and the operating information required by paragraph (e) of this section need be kept only 3 years. (m) The owner or operator of a facility with equipment that is subject to this subpart and to regulations at 40 CFR part 60, part 61, or part 63 may elect to determine compliance with this subpart either by documentation pursuant to Sec. 264.1064 of this subpart, or by documentation of compliance with the regulations at 40 CFR part 60, part 61, or part 63 pursuant to the relevant provisions of the regulations at 40 part 60, part 61, or part 63. The documentation of compliance under regulations at 40 CFR part 60, part 61, or part 63 shall be kept with or made readily available with the facility operating record.
