(i) The change does not meet the definition of a process change in §65.63(f); or

(ii) For a Group 2B process vent, the vent stream flow rate is recalculated according to §65.63(f) and the recalculated value is less than 0.011 standard cubic meter per minute (0.40 standard cubic foot per minute); or

(iii) For a Group 2B process vent, the organic HAP or TOC concentration of the vent stream is recalculated according to §65.63(f), and the recalculated value is less than the applicable value in table 1 to this subpart; or
