(a) The owner or operator of a facility
					 subject to this article, including those facilities that cease reporting
					 pursuant to 93401(c), must retain records and documentation necessary to
					 validate the data in the emissions report for a period of no less than five
					 years, notwithstanding other federal, state, or local recordkeeping
					 requirements, from the date that the emissions report is submitted to CARB or
					 the air district. Retained records include but are not limited to, information
					 used to quantify or report emissions data in the emissions report, underlying
					 monitoring and metering data, invoices of receipts or deliveries, sales
					 transaction data, calculation methods, protocols used, analysis results,
					 calibration records, and other relevant information.
(b) All records must be retained at the
					 facility and made available to CARB or air district staff for onsite inspection
					 at the time of inspection.

Emission Report Audits
. Copies of any records or other
					 materials maintained under the requirements of this article must be made
					 available to the Executive Officer upon request, within 30 calendar days of
					 receipt of such request to the designated representative of the owner or
					 operator of the facility subject to this article. The facility owner or
					 operator must make available appropriate records, data, and personnel for
					 either in-person on-site audits, or remotely implemented audit activities, so
					 that CARB may review and verify the completeness and accuracy of submitted
					 emissions data.
(d)
Requests for Additional Data from Abbreviated Reporters
. The
					 local air district, or CARB (in consultation with the local air district) may
					 require additional information and data from the owners and operators of a
					 facility that qualifies for abbreviated reporting. The additional data will be
					 requested if the local air district or CARB determines that the data from the
					 abbreviated report indicates a potential elevated risk to receptors due to the
					 emissions from the facility or due to the cumulative effects of emissions from
					 the facility combined with other sources. Additional data requested includes
					 the data elements under the
