4. Each subsequent compliance report shall be postmarked or delivered no later than July 31 or January 31, whichever date comes first after the end of the semiannual reporting period.

5. For each iron and steel foundry that is subject to permitting regulations pursuant to ch. NR 407, and if the department has established dates for submitting semiannual reports pursuant to s. NR 407.09(1) (c) 3. a., you may submit the first and subsequent compliance reports according to the dates the department has established instead of the dates specified in subds. 1. to 4.

5. If there were no deviations from any emission limitation, operating limit, work practice standard or operation and maintenance requirement, a statement that there were no deviations from any emission limitation, work practice standard or operation and maintenance requirement during the reporting period.

6. If there were no periods during which a continuous monitoring system, including a CPMS or CEMS, was out-of-control as specified by s. NR 460.07(3) (g), a statement that there were no periods during which the CPMS or CEMS was out-of-control during the reporting period.

7. For each deviation from an emission limitation, including an operating limit, that occurs at an iron and steel foundry for which you are not using a continuous monitoring system, including a CPMS or CEMS, to comply with an emission limitation or work practice standard required in this subchapter, the information specified in subds. 1. to 4. and in this subdivision. This requirement applies to periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction.

a. The total operating time of each emissions source during the reporting period.

b. Information on the number, duration and cause of deviations, including unknown cause, as applicable, and the corrective action taken.

8. For each deviation from an emission limitation, including an operating limit, or work practice standard occurring at an iron and steel foundry where you are using a continuous monitoring system, including a CPMS or CEMS, to comply with the emission limitation or work practice standard in this subchapter, the information specified in subds. 1. to 4. and in this subdivision. This requirement applies to periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction.
