(1)
			  APPLICABILITY AND DESIGNATION OF AFFECTED FACILITY.
(a) The provisions of this section apply to
			  each affected facility designated in par.
(b) that produces any of the chemicals listed
			  in sub. (8) as a product, co-product, by-product or intermediate, except as
			  provided in par. (c). (b) The affected facility is any of the following for
			  which construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after October 21,
			  1983:
1. Each air oxidation reactor not
			  discharging its vent stream into a recovery system.
2. Each combination of an air oxidation
			  reactor and the recovery system into which its vent stream is
			  discharged.
3. Each combination of
			  2 or more air oxidation reactors and the common recovery system into which
			  their vent streams are discharged.
(c) Each affected facility that has a total
			  resource effectiveness (TRE) index value greater than 4.0 is exempt from all
			  provisions of this section except for subs. (3), (5) (f), (6) (h) and (L).
Note: The intent of these standards is to minimize the
				emissions of VOC through the application of best demonstrated technology (BDT).
				The numerical emission limits in these standards are expressed in terms of
				total organic compounds (TOC), measured as TOC minus methane and ethane. This
				emission limit reflects the performance of BDT.

1.
			  Owners or operators of process vents that are subject to this section may
			  choose to comply with the provisions of 40 CFR part 65, subpart D, as in effect
			  on December 14, 2000, to satisfy the requirements of subs. (3) to (6). The
			  provisions of 40 CFR part 65, subpart D, as in effect on December 14, 2000,
			  also satisfy the criteria of par. (c). Other provisions applying to an owner or
			  operator who chooses to comply with 40 CFR part 65, subpart D, as in effect on
			  December 14, 2000, are provided in
			  40
			  CFR 65.1.
2. Owners or operators who choose to comply
			  with 40 CFR part 65, subpart D, as in effect on December 14, 2000, shall also
			  comply with ss.
			  NR 440.01,
			  440.02,

			  440.06, 440.07(1) (a) and (d),
			  440.14 and
			  440.15 for those process vents. All
			  sections or subsections from ss.
			  NR 440.01
			  to
			  440.19 not specified in this
			  subdivision do not apply to owners or operators of process vents complying with
			  40 CFR part 65, subpart D, as in effect on December 14, 2000, except that
			  provisions required to be met prior to implementing 40 CFR part 65 still apply.
			  Owners or operators who choose to comply with 40 CFR part 65, subpart D, as in
			  effect on December 14, 2000, shall comply with 40 CFR part 65, subpart
			  A.
3. Owners or operators who
			  choose to comply with 40 CFR part 65, subpart D, as in effect on December 14,
			  2000, at initial startup shall comply with subds. 1. and 2. for each vent
			  stream on and after the date on which the initial performance test is
			  completed, but not later than 60 days after achieving the maximum production
			  rate at which the affected facility will be operated, or 180 days after the
			  initial startup, whichever date comes first.
4. Each owner or operator subject to the
			  provisions of this section that chooses to comply with 40 CFR part 65, subpart
			  D, as in effect on December 14, 2000, at initial startup shall notify the
			  administrator of the specific provisions of
			  40 CFR
			  65.63(a) (1), (2) or (3)
			  with which the owner or operator has elected to comply. Notification shall be
			  submitted with the notification of initial startup required by
			  40 CFR
			  65.5(b).
