(3) As a precondition to excluding these
compounds as VOC or at any time thereafter, the enforcement authority may
require an owner or operator to provide monitoring or testing methods and
results demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the enforcement authority, the
amount of negligibly-reactive compounds in the source's emissions.
(4) For purposes of federal enforcement for a

EPA -approved SIP, in a permit issued pursuant to a program approved or
promulgated under Title V of the act , or under 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart I or
Appendix S, or under 40 CFR Parts 52 or 60. The EPA shall not be bound by any
state determination as to appropriate methods for testing or monitoring
negligibly-reactive compounds if such determination is not reflected in any of
the above provisions.
(5) The
following compound(s) are VOC for purposes of all recordkeeping, emissions
reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling and inventory requirements which
apply to VOC and shall be uniquely identified in emission reports, but are not
VOC for purposes of VOC emissions limitations or VOC content requirements:
t-butyl acetate.
(6) For the
purposes of determining compliance with California's aerosol coatings
reactivity-based regulation , (as described in the California Code of
Regulations, Title 17, Division 3, Chapter 1, Subchapter 8.5, Article 3), any
organic compound in the volatile portion of an aerosol coating is counted
towards that product's reactivity-based limit. Therefore, the compounds
identified in Subsection FFFF of
20.11.1.7 NMAC as negligibly
reactive and excluded from EPA 's definition of VOCs are to be counted towards a
product's reactivity limit for the purposes of determining compliance with
California's aerosol coatings reactivity-based regulation .
(7) For the purposes of determining
compliance with EPA 's aerosol coatings reactivity based regulation (as
described in 40 CFR Part 59 - National Volatile Organic Compound Emission
Standards for Consumer and Commercial Products) any organic compound in the
volatile portion of an aerosol coating is counted towards the product's
reactivity-based limit, as provided in 40 CFR Part 59, Subpart E. Therefore,
the compounds that are used in aerosol coating products and that are identified
in Subsection FFFF of
20.11.1.7 NMAC as negligibly
reactive and excluded from EPA 's definition of VOC are to be counted towards a
product's reactivity limit for the purposes of determining compliance with
EPA 's aerosol coatings reactivity-based national regulation , as provided in 40
CFR Part 59, Subpart E.
