					 inspected through a fixed roof inspection hatch at least once every 12 months.
(A) If the internal floating roof is not
					 resting on the surface of the volatile organic compounds (VOC) inside the
					 storage tank and is not resting on the leg supports; or liquid has accumulated
					 on the internal floating roof; or the seal is detached; or there are holes or
					 tears in the seal fabric; or there are visible gaps between the seal and the
					 wall of the storage tank, within 60 days of the inspection the owner or
					 operator shall repair the items or shall empty and degas the storage tank in

					 of Storage Tanks, Transport Vessels, and Marine Vessels).
(B) If a failure cannot be repaired within 60
					 days and if the storage tank cannot be emptied within 60 days, the owner or
					 operator may submit written requests for up to two extensions of up to 30
					 additional days each to the appropriate regional office. The owner or operator
					 shall submit a copy to any local air pollution control program with
					 jurisdiction. Each request for an extension must include a statement that
					 alternate storage capacity is unavailable and a schedule that will assure that
					 the repairs will be completed as soon as possible.

					 (VOC) concentration of no more than 20 parts per million by volume (ppmv) (on a
					 dry basis corrected to 3.0% oxygen for combustion devices):

					 temperature equal to or greater than 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit;
