employed to met paragraph (D)(2) of this rule, any changes to monitoring
devices previously reported and required under paragraph (G) of this

compliance certification shall state that only coatings which comply with the
applicable VOC content limit have been used each operating day in the
semiannual reporting period, or should otherwise identify the periods of use of
coatings that did not comply, the reasons for such use of noncompliant
coatings, and the amounts and VOC contents of each such noncompliant coating
used. Use of a noncompliant coating is a separate violation for each day the
noncompliant coating is used.
(ii)
For any coating that is applied by means of a dip coater, that is subject to a
VOC content limit of paragraph (D)(1) of this rule, and that complies by the
procedures of paragraph (H)(2) of this rule, the compliance certification shall
state that only coatings which comply with the applicable VOC content limit, as
determined by the procedures of paragraph (H)(2) of this rule, have been used
each operating day in the semiannual reporting period, or should otherwise
identify the periods of use of coatings that did not comply, the reasons for
the use of such noncompliant coatings, and the amounts and VOC contents of each
such noncompliant coating used. Use of a noncompliant coating is a separate
violation for each day the noncompliant coating is used.
(iii) For any coating operation that is
equipped with a VOC emission control system to comply with paragraph (D)(3) of
this rule:
(a) The compliance certification
shall state that the three-hour block averages of the monitoring parameters
recorded pursuant to paragraph (K)(5) of this rule had complied with the
operating limits (operating parameter values) for the monitoring parameters
established under paragraph (J)(2) of this rule during of all periods of
operation of the coating operation in the semiannual reporting period; or
should otherwise identify the times and durations of all periods of
noncompliance and the reasons for noncompliance.
(b) The compliance certification shall
identify the times and durations of all periods during coating operation or
control operation when the monitoring device is not working, as recorded
pursuant to paragraph (J)(3) of this rule and paragraph (K)(5) of rule
3745-21-15 of the Administrative
Code.
(c) For any capture system
bypass line, the compliance certification shall identify the times and
durations of all periods in which the captured VOC emissions were discharged to
atmosphere instead of a control device, as recorded pursuant to paragraph
(J)(3) of this rule and paragraph (K)(5)(f) of rule
3745-21-15 of the Administrative
Code, and the reasons for the discharges to atmosphere.
(d) The compliance certification shall state
that the overall reduction and control of VOC emissions, based on the most
recent compliance test conducted in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule,
has met paragraph (D)(2) of this rule for each coating designated for control
during the semiannual reporting period, or should otherwise identify the
periods of noncompliance and the reasons for noncompliance.
(iv) For coatings subject to the
low usage exemption under paragraph (D)(3)(e) of this rule, the compliance
certification shall state that the usage of these coatings during the
semiannual reporting period did not exceed the annual usage restrictions for
the calendar year, or should otherwise identify for each noncompliance of any
annual usage restriction the reasons for the noncompliant usage and the amounts
and VOC contents of the coatings used in the noncompliant usage.
(v) For cleaning operations subject to
paragraph (E) of this rule, the compliance certification shall identify the
following for the semiannual reporting period:
(a) Any instance where a noncompliant
cleaning solvent is used for a hand wipe cleaning operation that is not
exempted under paragraph (E)(1)(b) of this rule.
(b) Any instance where a noncompliant spray
gun cleaning method is used.
(c)
Any instance where a leaking enclosed spray gun cleaner remains unrepaired and
in use for more than fifteen days.
(d) Any other instance of noncompliance with
a requirement under paragraph (E) of this rule.
(e) If the cleaning operations have been in
compliance for the semiannual reporting period, a statement that the cleaning
operations have been in compliance with the applicable requirements.
(vi) The compliance certification
shall identify and describe any corrective actions considered and implemented
for any noncompliance being reported in the compliance certification.
(vii) The compliance certification shall be
signed by the responsible official of a Title V facility, as defined in rule
3745-77-01 of the Administrative
Code or the signatory authority under rule
3745-31-02 of the Administrative
Code for a facility that is not Title V, that owns or operates the aerospace
manufacturing or rework facility.
