2)         The name and identification number of each coating as applied on each participating coating line;

3)         The weight of VOM per volume of each coating and the volume of each coating (minus water and any compounds which are specifically exempted form the definition of VOM) as applied each day on each participating coating line;

4)         The instrument or method by which the owner or operator will accurately measure or calculate the volume of each coating as applied each day on each participating coating line;

5)         The method by which the owner or operator will create and maintain records each day as required in subsection (b) of this Section;

6)         An example of the format in which the records required in subsection (b) of this Section will be kept;

A)        Underwent a change in operations incorporating a lower VOM coating on each applicable participating coating line after the date of January 1, 1991; or

b)         On and after a date consistent with Section 218.210(f) of this Subpart, or on and after the initial start-up date, the owner or operator of a source electing to comply with the requirements of this Subpart by means of Section 218.212 of this Subpart shall collect and record the following information on a daily basis for each participating coating line and maintain the information at the source for a period of three years:

1)         The name and identification number of each coating as applied on each participating coating line;

2)         The weight of VOM per volume and the volume of each coating (minus water and any compounds which are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM) as applied on each participating coating line on a daily basis; and

3)         The daily weighted average VOM content of all coatings as applied on each coating line as defined at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211.1230.

c)         On and after a date consistent with Section 218.210(f) of this Subpart, the owner or operator of participating coating lines shall:
