(b) Obtain a written representation from the company representative stating the toxics value(s) that the company used as its baseline(s) and agree that number to paragraph (a) of this section.

(c) Obtain and read a copy of the refinery's or importer's annual toxics reports per §§ 1A80.75(e) and 80.105 filed with EPA for the year to determine the compliance baseline and incremental volume.
