The provisions of this subpart are ap plicable to the following stationary sources:
(a) Extraction plans, ceramic plants, foundries. Incinerators, and propellant plants which process beryllium ore, beryl lium. beryllium oxide, beryllium alloys, or beryllium-containing waste.
(b) Machine shops which process beryllium, beryllium oxides, or any alloy when such alloy contains more than 5 percent beryllium by weight.
61.31 Definitions.
Terms used in this subpart are de fined in the act, in subpart A oi this part, or in this section as follows:
(a) "Beryllium" means the element beryllium. Where weights or concentra tions are specified, such weights or con centrations apply, to beryllium only, excluding the weight or concentration ot any associated elements.
(b) "Extraction plant" means a fa cility chemically .-processing beryllium ore to beryllium metal, alloy, or oxide,
or performing any of the intermediate
ment of paragraph (a) of this aection. ah owner or operator mayxequeat ap proval from the Administrator to meet an ambient concentration limit on beryl lium in the vicinity ot the stationary source of 0.01 pg/m*, averaged over a 30-day period.-4,
(l) Approval of such requests may be
granted by the Administrator provided that:
<i> At least 3 years of data is avail able which in the judgment ot the Ad ministrator demonstrates that the fu ture ambient concentrations of beryllium in the vicinity of the stationary source will not exceed 0.0X *g/m*, averaged over a 30-day period. Such 3-year period shall
be the 3 years ending 30 days before the effective date of this standard.
(11) The owner or operator requests such approval in writing within 30 days after the effective date of this standard.
(ill) The owner or operator submits a report to the Adminlstrator wlthln 45
days after' the effective'date of this standard which report includes the fol lowing information:
(a) Description of sampling method Including the method and frequency of
calibration.
(b> Method of sample analysis.
(c) Averaging technique for determin ing 30-day average cm ientrations.

(b) The Administrator shall be noti fied at least 30 days prior to ah emission test so that he may at his option observe the test.
(c) Samples shall be taken over such a
period or periods as are necessary to ac
curately determine the maximum emis sions which will occur in any 24-hour
period. Where emissions depend upon the
relative frequency of operation of differ ent types of processes, operating hours,
operating capacities, or other factors, the calculation of maximum 24-hour-
period emissions will be based on that
combination of factors which Is likely to
occur during the. hibject period and
which result in the maximum emissions.
No changes in the operation Shall be made, which would potentially increase
emissions above that determined by the
steps in these processes.
