    (e) Compliance report submission requirements. Prior to March 9,
2021, you must submit semiannual compliance reports to the
Administrator as specified in Sec.  63.13. Beginning on March 9, 2021,
you must submit all subsequent semiannual compliance reports to the EPA
via the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI),
which can be accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX)
(https://cdx.epa.gov/). The EPA will make all the information submitted
through CEDRI available to the public without further notice to you. Do
not use CEDRI to submit information you claim as confidential business
information (CBI). Anything submitted using CEDRI cannot later be
claimed to be CBI. You must use the appropriate electronic report
template on the CEDRI website (https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/cedri) for this subpart. The date report
templates become available will be listed on the CEDRI website. The
report must be submitted by the deadline specified in this subpart,
regardless of the method in which the report is submitted. If you claim
some of the information required to be submitted via CEDRI is CBI,
submit a complete report, including information claimed to be CBI, to
the EPA. The report must be generated using the appropriate form on the
CEDRI website or an alternate electronic file consistent with the
extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on the CEDRI website.
Although we do not expect persons to assert a claim of CBI, if persons
wish to assert a CBI, submit the file on a compact disc, flash drive,
or other commonly used electronic storage medium and clearly mark the
medium as CBI. Mail the electronic medium to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI
Office, Attention: Group Leader, Measurement Policy Group, MD C404-02,
4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 27703. The same file with the CBI omitted
must be submitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX

as described earlier in this paragraph (e). All CBI claims must be
asserted at the time of submission. Furthermore, under CAA section
114(c) emissions data is not entitled to confidential treatment and
requires EPA to make emissions data available to the public. Thus,
emissions data will not be protected as CBI and will be made publicly
available.
    (f) Performance test results submission requirements. Within 60
days after the date of completing each performance test required by
this subpart, you must submit the results of the performance test
following the procedures specified in paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of
this section.
    (1) Data collected using test methods supported by the EPA's
Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) as listed on the EPA's ERT website
(https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/electronic-reporting-tool-ert) at the time of the test. Submit the results of the
performance test to the EPA via the CEDRI, which can be accessed
through the EPA's CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The data must be
submitted in a file format generated through the use of the EPA's ERT.
Alternatively, you may submit an electronic file consistent with the
XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT website.
    (2) Data collected using test methods that are not supported by the
EPA's ERT as listed on the EPA's ERT website at the time of the test.
The results of the performance test must be included as an attachment
in the ERT or an alternate electronic file consistent with the XML
schema listed on the EPA's ERT website. Submit the ERT generated
package or alternative file to the EPA via CEDRI.
    (3) Confidential business information. The EPA will make all the
information submitted through CEDRI available to the public without
further notice to you. Do not use CEDRI to submit information you claim
as CBI. Anything submitted using CEDRI cannot later be claimed to be
CBI. Although we do not expect persons to assert a claim of CBI, if you
claim some of the information submitted under paragraph (f)(1) or (2)
of this section is CBI, you must submit a complete file, including
information claimed to be CBI, to the EPA. The file must be generated
through the use of the EPA's ERT or an alternate electronic file
consistent with the XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT website. Submit
the file on a compact disc, flash drive, or other commonly used
electronic storage medium and clearly mark the medium as CBI. Mail the
electronic medium to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group
Leader, Measurement Policy Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd.,

to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as described in paragraph (f)(1) of this
section. All CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission.
Furthermore, under CAA section 114(c) emissions data is not entitled to
confidential treatment and requires EPA to make emissions data
available to the public. Thus, emissions data will not be protected as
CBI and will be made publicly available.
    (g) Performance evaluation results submission requirements. Within
60 days after the date of completing each continuous monitoring system
(CMS) performance evaluation (as defined in Sec.  63.2), you must
submit the results of the performance evaluation following the
procedures specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) Performance evaluations of CMS measuring relative accuracy test
audit (RATA) pollutants that are supported by the EPA's ERT as listed
on the EPA's ERT website at the time of the evaluation. Submit the
results of the performance evaluation to the EPA via CEDRI, which can
be accessed through the EPA's CDX. The data must be submitted in a file
format generated through the use of the EPA's ERT. Alternatively, you
may submit an electronic file consistent with the XML schema listed on
the EPA's ERT website.
    (2) Performance evaluations of CMS measuring RATA pollutants that
are not supported by the EPA's ERT as listed on the EPA's ERT website
at the time of the evaluation. The results of the performance
evaluation must be included as an attachment in the ERT or an alternate
electronic file consistent with the XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT
website. Submit the ERT generated package or alternative file to the
EPA via CEDRI.
    (3) Confidential business information. The EPA will make all the
information submitted through CEDRI available to the public without
further notice to you. Do not use CEDRI to submit information you claim
as CBI. Anything submitted using CEDRI cannot later be claimed to be
CBI. Although we do not expect persons to assert a claim of CBI, if you
claim some of the information submitted under paragraph (g)(1) or (2)
of this section is CBI, you must submit a complete file, including
information claimed to be CBI, to the EPA. The file must be generated
through the use of the EPA's ERT or an alternate electronic file
consistent with the XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT website. Submit
the file on a compact disc, flash drive, or other commonly used
electronic storage medium and clearly mark the medium as CBI. Mail the
electronic medium to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group
Leader, Measurement Policy Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd.,
Durham, NC 27703. The same file with the CBI omitted must be submitted
to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as described in paragraph (g)(1) of this
section. All CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission.
Furthermore, under CAA section 114(c) emissions data is not entitled to
confidential treatment and requires EPA to make emissions data
available to the public. Thus, emissions data will not be protected as
CBI and will be made publicly available.
    (h) Claims of EPA system outage. If you are required to
electronically submit a report through CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may
assert a claim of EPA system outage for failure to timely comply with
the reporting requirement. To assert a claim of EPA system outage, you
must meet the requirements outlined in paragraphs (h)(1) through (7) of
this section.
    (1) You must have been or will be precluded from accessing CEDRI
and submitting a required report within the time prescribed due to an
outage of either the EPA's CEDRI or CDX systems.
    (2) The outage must have occurred within the period of time
beginning five business days prior to the date that the submission is
due.
    (3) The outage may be planned or unplanned.
    (4) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a
delay in reporting.
    (5) You must provide to the Administrator a written description
identifying:
    (i) The date(s) and time(s) when CDX or CEDRI was accessed and the
system was unavailable;
    (ii) A rationale for attributing the delay in reporting beyond the
regulatory deadline to EPA system outage;
    (iii) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in
reporting; and
    (iv) The date by which you propose to report, or if you have
already met the reporting requirement at the time of the notification,
the date you reported.
    (6) The decision to accept the claim of EPA system outage and allow
an extension to the reporting deadline is solely within the discretion
of the Administrator.
    (7) In any circumstance, the report must be submitted
electronically as

soon as possible after the outage is resolved.
    (i) Claims of force majeure. If you are required to electronically
submit a report through CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may assert a claim
of force majeure for failure to timely comply with the reporting
requirement. To assert a claim of force majeure, you must meet the
requirements outlined in paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section.
    (1) You may submit a claim if a force majeure event is about to
occur, occurs, or has occurred or there are lingering effects from such
an event within the period of time beginning five business days prior
to the date the submission is due. For the purposes of this section, a
force majeure event is defined as an event that will be or has been
caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility,
its contractors, or any entity controlled by the affected facility that
prevents you from complying with the requirement to submit a report
electronically within the time period prescribed. Examples of such
events are acts of nature (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods),
acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond
the control of the affected facility (e.g., large scale power outage).
    (2) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a
delay in reporting.
    (3) You must provide to the Administrator:
    (i) A written description of the force majeure event;
    (ii) A rationale for attributing the delay in reporting beyond the
regulatory deadline to the force majeure event;
    (iii) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in
reporting; and
    (iv) The date by which you propose to report, or if you have
already met the reporting requirement at the time of the notification,
the date you reported.
    (4) The decision to accept the claim of force majeure and allow an
extension to the reporting deadline is solely within the discretion of
the Administrator.
    (5) In any circumstance, the reporting must occur as soon as
possible after the force majeure event occurs.

14. Section 63.7765 is amended by adding in alphabetical order the
definitions for ``Cupola shutdown'' and ``Cupola startup'' and revising
the definitions for ``Deviation'' (including the undesignated paragraph
following the definition) and ``Off blast'' to read as follows:

Sec.  63.7765   What definitions apply to this subpart?

* * * * *
    Cupola shutdown means the period beginning when the last of the
molten metal is tapped from the cupola's primary tap hole and ending
when the cupola is cooled and the cupola is either banked or the bottom
contents are removed (``bottom drop''). Cupola shutdown includes the
following steps: slag and residual metal removal from secondary tap;
cupola cooling; and cupola banking or bottom drop.
    Cupola startup means the commencement of activities needed to take
a banked cupola or a cupola that has had the bottom dropped back into
melt production. Cupola startup includes the following steps:
refractory curing, if needed; cupola bed preparation (during which the
sand bed is preheated), if needed; coke bed preparation (during which
coke is added to the cupola and lit); and initial metallics charging.
    Deviation means any instance in which an affected source or an
owner or operator of such an affected source:
    (1) Fails to meet any requirement or obligation established by this
subpart including, but not limited to, any emissions limitation
(including operating limits), work practice standard, or operation and
maintenance requirement; or
    (2) Fails to meet any term or condition that is adopted to
implement an applicable requirement in this subpart and that is
included in the operating permit for any iron and steel foundry
required to obtain such a permit.
    (3) A deviation is not always a violation. The determination of
whether a deviation constitutes a violation of the standard is up to
the discretion of the entity responsible for enforcement of the
standards.
* * * * *
    Off blast means those periods of cupola operation when the cupola
is not actively being used to produce molten metal. Off blast
conditions include

cupola startup and cupola shutdown. Off blast conditions also include
idling conditions when the blast air is turned off or down to the point
that the cupola does not produce additional molten metal.

    (c) Prior to March 9, 2021, you must submit semiannual compliance
reports to the Administrator according to the requirements in Sec.
63.13. Beginning on March 9, 2021, you must submit all subsequent
semiannual compliance reports to the EPA via the CEDRI, which can be
accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The EPA will make all the information submitted through
CEDRI available to the public without further notice to you. Do not use
CEDRI to submit information you claim as confidential business
information (CBI). Anything submitted using CEDRI cannot later be
claimed to be CBI. You must use the appropriate electronic report
template on the CEDRI website (https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/cedri) for this subpart. The date report
templates become available

will be listed on the CEDRI website. The report must be submitted by
the deadline specified in this subpart, regardless of the method in
which the report is submitted. Although we do not expect persons to
assert a claim of CBI, if persons wish to assert a CBI if you claim
some of the information required to be submitted via CEDRI is CBI,
submit a complete report, including information claimed to be CBI, to
the EPA. The report must be generated using the appropriate form on the
CEDRI website or an alternate electronic file consistent with the
extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on the CEDRI website.
Submit the file on a compact disc, flash drive, or other commonly used
electronic storage medium and clearly mark the medium as CBI. Mail the
electronic medium to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group
Leader, Measurement Policy Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd.,
Durham, NC 27703. The same file with the CBI omitted must be submitted
to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as described earlier in this paragraph
(c). All CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission.
Furthermore, under CAA section 114(c) emissions data is not entitled to
confidential treatment and requires EPA to make emissions data
available to the public. Thus, emissions data will not be protected as
CBI and will be made publicly available. The reports must include the
information specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this section
and, as applicable, paragraphs (c)(4) through (9) of this section.
    (1) Company name and address.
    (2) Statement by a responsible official, with that official's name,

system (including a CPMS or continuous emissions monitoring system
(CEMS) was inoperable or out-of-control as specified by Sec.
63.8(c)(7), a statement that there were no periods during which the
CPMS was inoperable or out-of-control during the reporting period.
    (6) For each affected source or equipment for which there was a
deviation from an emissions limitation (including an operating limit,
pollution prevention management practice, or operation and maintenance
requirement) that occurs at an iron and steel foundry during the
reporting period, the compliance report must contain the information
specified in paragraphs (c)(6)(i) through (iii) of this section. The
requirement in this paragraph (c)(6) includes periods of startup,
shutdown, and malfunction.
    (i) A list of the affected source or equipment and the total
operating time of each emissions source during the reporting period.

reporting period across all causes both in hours and as a percent of
the total source operating time during the reporting period.
    (8) Identification of which option in Sec.  63.10885(b) applies to
you. If you comply with the mercury requirements in Sec.  63.10885(b)
by using one scrap provider, contract, or shipment subject to one
compliance provision and others subject to another compliance provision
different, provide an identification of which option in Sec.
63.10885(b) applies to each scrap provider, contract, or shipment.
    (9) If you are subject to the requirements for a site-specific plan
for mercury under Sec.  63.10885(b)(1), include:
    (i) The number of mercury switches removed or the weight of mercury
recovered from the switches and properly managed, the estimated number

    (e) Within 60 days after the date of completing each performance
test required by this subpart, you must

submit the results of the performance test following the procedures
specified in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) Data collected using test methods supported by the EPA's
Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) as listed on the EPA's ERT website
(https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/electronic-reporting-tool-ert) at the time of the test. Submit the results of the
performance test to the EPA via the CEDRI, which can be accessed
through the EPA's CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The data must be
submitted in a file format generated through the use of the EPA's ERT.
Alternatively, you may submit an electronic file consistent with the
XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT website.
    (2) Data collected using test methods that are not supported by the
EPA's ERT as listed on the EPA's ERT website at the time of the test.
The results of the performance test must be included as an attachment
in the ERT or an alternate electronic file consistent with the XML
schema listed on the EPA's ERT website. Submit the ERT generated
package or alternative file to the EPA via CEDRI.
    (3) Confidential business information. The EPA will make all the
information submitted through CEDRI available to the public without
further notice to you. Do not use CEDRI to submit information you claim
as CBI. Anything submitted using CEDRI cannot later be claimed to be
CBI. Although we do not expect persons to assert a claim of CBI if you
claim some of the information submitted under paragraph (e)(1) or (2)
of this section is CBI, you must submit a complete file, including
information claimed to be CBI, to the EPA. The file must be generated
through the use of the EPA's ERT or an alternate electronic file
consistent with the XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT website. Submit
the file on a compact disc, flash drive, or other commonly used
electronic storage medium and clearly mark the medium as CBI. Mail the
electronic medium to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group
Leader, Measurement Policy Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd.,
Durham, NC 27703. The same file with the CBI omitted must be submitted
to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as described in paragraph (e)(1) of this
section. All CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission.
Furthermore, under CAA section 114(c) emissions data is not entitled to
confidential treatment and requires EPA to make emissions data
available to the public. Thus, emissions data will not be protected as
CBI and will be made publicly available.
    (f) If you are required to electronically submit a report through
CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may assert a claim of EPA system outage for
failure to timely comply with the reporting requirement. To assert a
claim of EPA system outage, you must meet the requirements outlined in
paragraphs (f)(1) through (7) of this section.
    (1) You must have been or will be precluded from accessing CEDRI
and submitting a required report within the time prescribed due to an
outage of either the EPA's CEDRI or CDX systems.
    (2) The outage must have occurred within the period of time
beginning 5 business days prior to the date that the submission is due.
    (3) The outage may be planned or unplanned.
    (4) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a
delay in reporting.
    (5) You must provide to the Administrator a written description
identifying:
    (i) The date(s) and time(s) when CDX or CEDRI was accessed and the
system was unavailable;
    (ii) A rationale for attributing the delay in reporting beyond the
regulatory deadline to EPA system outage;
    (iii) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in
reporting; and
    (iv) The date by which you propose to report, or if you have
already met the reporting requirement at the time of the notification,
the date you reported.
    (6) The decision to accept the claim of EPA system outage and allow
an extension to the reporting deadline is solely within the discretion
of the Administrator.
    (7) In any circumstance, the report must be submitted
electronically as soon as possible after the outage is resolved.
    (g) If you are required to electronically submit a report through
CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may assert a claim of force majeure for
failure to timely comply with the reporting requirement. To assert a
claim of force majeure, you must meet the requirements outlined in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this section.
    (1) You may submit a claim if a force majeure event is about to
occur, occurs, or has occurred or there are lingering effects from such
an event within the period of time beginning five business days prior
to the date the submission is due. For the purposes of this section, a
force majeure event is defined as an event that will be or has been
caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility,
its contractors, or any entity controlled by the affected facility that
prevents you from complying with the requirement to submit a report
electronically within the time period prescribed. Examples of such
events are acts of nature (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods),
acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond
the control of the affected facility (e.g., large scale power outage).
    (2) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a
delay in reporting.
    (3) You must provide to the Administrator:
    (i) A written description of the force majeure event;
    (ii) A rationale for attributing the delay in reporting beyond the
regulatory deadline to the force majeure event;
    (iii) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in
reporting; and
    (iv) The date by which you propose to report, or if you have
already met the reporting requirement at the time of the notification,
the date you reported.
