EXPLANATION
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each
volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its
revision date (in this case, July 1, 2019), consult the ``List of CFR
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be
inserted following the text.
OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information
collection request.
[[Page vi]]
Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE
Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried.
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.
``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY
The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and
not accidentally dropped due to a printing or computer error.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which
approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of
material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative
process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001,
or call 202-741-6010.
CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in
this volume.
[[Page vii]]
An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within
that volume.
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form.
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in
the daily Federal Register.
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.
REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL
There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.8980 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) and work practice standards for hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) emitted from hydrochloric acid (HCl) production. This
subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and
continuous compliance with the emission limitations and work practice
standards.
Sec. 63.8985 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate an HCl
production facility that produces a liquid HCl product at a
concentration of 30 weight percent or greater during its normal
operations and is located at, or is part of, a major source of HAP. This
does not include HCl production facilities that only produce
occasionally liquid HCl product at a concentration of 30 weight percent
or greater.
(1) An HCl production facility is the collection of unit operations
and equipment associated with the production of liquid HCl product. The
HCl production facility begins at the point where a gaseous stream
containing HCl enters the HCl production unit. The HCl production
facility includes all HCl storage tanks that contain liquid HCl product
that is produced in the HCl production unit, with the exceptions noted
in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. The HCl production facility also
includes all HCl transfer operations that load HCl product produced in
the HCl production unit into a tank truck, rail
[[Page 21]]
car, ship, or barge, along with the piping and other equipment in HCl
service used to transfer liquid HCl product from the HCl production unit
to the HCl storage tanks and/or HCl transfer operations. The HCl
production facility ends at the point that the liquid HCl product
produced in the HCl production unit is loaded into a tank truck, rail
car, ship, or barge, at the point the HCl product enters another process
on the plant site, or at the point the HCl product leaves the plant site
via pipeline.
(2) Storage tanks that are dedicated feedstock tanks for another
process and storage tanks that store HCl dedicated for use in wastewater
treatment are not considered part of an HCl production facility.
(3) A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or
group of stationary sources within a contiguous area under common
control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate
of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP
at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year.
(b) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if it
is also subject to NESHAP under one of the subparts listed in paragraphs
(b)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) 40 CFR part 63, subpart S, National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Pulp and Paper Industry.
(2) 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCC, National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Steel Pickling--HCl Process Facilities and

Standards for Closed Vent Systems, Control Devices, Recovery Devices and
Routing to a Fuel Gas System or a Process.
(5) 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG, National Emission Standards for
Pharmaceuticals Production.
(c) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if it
is located following the incineration of chlorinated waste gas streams,
waste liquids, or solid wastes, and the emissions from the HCl
production facility are subject to section 63.113(c), subpart G,
National Emission Standards for Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants from
the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry for Process Vents,
Storage Vessels, Transfer Operations, and Wastewater.
(d) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if it
produces HCl through the direct synthesis of hydrogen and chlorine and
is part of a chlor-alkali facility.
(e) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if it
is a research and development facility.
(f) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if all
of the gaseous streams containing HCl and chlorine (Cl2) from
HCl process vents, HCl storage tanks, and HCl transfer operations are
recycled or routed to another process prior to being discharged to the
atmosphere.
[68 FR 19090, Apr. 17, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 17745, Apr. 7, 2006]
Sec. 63.8990 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source at an HCl production facility.
(b) The affected source is the group of one or more HCl production
facilities at a plant site that are subject to this subpart, and all
associated wastewater operations, which contain the collection of
emission streams listed in paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of this
section.

Subpart PPPPP_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Engine Test Cells/Stands
Source: 68 FR 28785, May 27, 2003, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.9280 What is the purpose of subpart PPPPP?
This subpart PPPPP establishes national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for engine test cells/stands located
at major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. This
subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and
continuous compliance with the emission limitations contained in this
NESHAP.
Sec. 63.9285 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate an engine test
cell/stand that is located at a major source of HAP emissions.
(a) An engine test cell/stand is any apparatus used for testing
uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive) engines.
(b) An uninstalled engine is an engine that is not installed in, or
an integrated part of, the final product.
(c) A major source of HAP emissions is a plant site that emits or
has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07
megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25
tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year.
Sec. 63.9290 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source.
[[Page 39]]
(a) Affected source. An affected source is the collection of all
equipment and activities associated with engine test cells/stands used
for testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive)
engines located at a major source of HAP emissions.
(1) Existing affected source. An affected source is existing if you
commenced construction or reconstruction of the affected source on or
before May 14, 2002. A change in ownership of an existing affected
source does not make that affected source a new or reconstructed
affected source.
(2) New affected source. An affected source is new if you commenced
construction of the affected source after May 14, 2002.
(3) Reconstructed affected source. An affected source is
reconstructed if you meet the definition of reconstruction in Sec. 63.2
of subpart A of this part and reconstruction is commenced after May 14,
2002. Changes made to an existing affected source primarily for the
purpose of complying with revisions to engine testing requirements under
40 CFR parts 80, 86, 89, 90, 91, or 92 are not considered a modification
or reconstruction. In addition, passive measurement and control
instrumentation and electronics are not included as part of any affected
source reconstruction evaluation.
(b) Existing affected sources do not have to meet the requirements
of this subpart and of subpart A of this part.
(c) Any portion of a new or reconstructed affected source located at
a major source that is used exclusively for testing internal combustion
engines with rated power of less than 25 horsepower (hp) (19
kilowatts(kW)) does not have to meet the requirements of this subpart
and of subpart A of this part except for the initial notification
requirements of Sec. 63.9345(b).
(d) Any portion of a new or reconstructed affected source located at
a major source that meets any of the criteria specified in paragraphs
(d)(1) through (4) of this section does not have to meet the
requirements of this subpart and of subpart A of this part.
(1) Any portion of the affected source used exclusively for testing
combustion turbine engines.
(2) Any portion of the affected source used exclusively for testing
rocket engines.
(3) Any portion of the affected source used in research and teaching
activities at facilities that are not engaged in the development of
engines or engine test services for commercial purposes.
(4) Any portion of the affected source operated to test or evaluate
fuels (such as knock engines), transmissions, or electronics.
Sec. 63.9295 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) Affected sources. (1) If you start up your new or reconstructed

a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) to demonstrate compliance
with the emission limitations. Continuous monitoring systems must meet
the requirements in Sec. 63.9306 (CPMS) and Sec. 63.9307 (CEMS).
Sec. 63.9302 What operating limits must I meet?
(a) For any new or reconstructed affected source on which you use
add-on controls, you must meet the operating limits specified in Table 2

[68 FR 28785, May 27, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 20470, Apr. 20, 2006]
Sec. 63.9306 What are my continuous parameter monitoring system
(CPMS) installation, operation, and maintenance requirements?
(a) General. You must install, operate, and maintain each CPMS
specified in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section according to
paragraphs (a)(1) through (7) of this section. You must install,
operate, and maintain each CPMS specified in paragraph (b) of this
section according to paragraphs (a)(3) through (5) of this section.
(1) The CPMS must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation for
each successive 15-minute period. You must have a minimum of four
equally spaced successive cycles of CPMS operation in 1 hour.
(2) You must determine the average of all recorded readings for each
successive 3-hour period of the emission capture system and add-on
control device operation.
(3) You must record the results of each inspection, calibration, and
validation check of the CPMS.

necessary parts for routine repairs of the monitoring equipment.
(5) You must operate the CPMS and collect emission capture system
and add-on control device parameter data at all times that an engine
test cell/stand is operating, except during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities
(including, if applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span
adjustments).
(6) You must not use emission capture system or add-on control
device parameter data recorded during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, out-of-control periods, or required quality
assurance or control activities when calculating data averages. You must
use all the data collected during all other periods in calculating the
data averages for determining compliance with the emission capture
system and add-on control device operating limits.
(7) A monitoring malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not
reasonably preventable failure of the CPMS to provide valid data.
Monitoring failures
[[Page 41]]
that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are
not malfunctions. Any period for which the monitoring system is out-of-
control and data are not available for required calculations is a
deviation from the monitoring requirements.
(b) Capture system bypass line. You must meet the requirements of
paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section for each emission capture
system that contains bypass lines that could divert emissions away from
the add-on control device to the atmosphere.
(1) You must monitor or secure the valve or closure mechanism
controlling the bypass line in a nondiverting position in such a way
that the valve or closure mechanism cannot be opened without creating a
record that the valve was opened. The method used to monitor or secure
the valve or closure mechanism must meet one of the requirements
specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section.
(i) Flow control position indicator. Install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate according to the manufacturer's specifications a flow
control position indicator that takes a reading at least once every 15
minutes and provides a record indicating whether the emissions are
directed to the add-on control device or diverted from the add-on
control device. The time of occurrence and flow control position must be
recorded, as well as every time the flow direction is changed. The flow
control position indicator must be installed at the entrance to any
bypass line that could divert the emissions away from the add-on control
device to the atmosphere.
(ii) Car-seal or lock-and-key valve closures. Secure any bypass line
valve in the closed position with a car-seal or a lock-and-key type
configuration. You must visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism
at least once every month to ensure that the valve is maintained in the
closed position, and the emissions are not diverted away from the add-on
control device to the atmosphere.
(iii) Valve closure monitoring. Ensure that any bypass line valve is
in the closed (nondiverting) position through monitoring of valve
position at least once every 15 minutes. You must inspect the monitoring
system at least once every month to verify that the monitor will
indicate valve position.
(iv) Automatic shutdown system. Use an automatic shutdown system in
which the engine testing operation is stopped when flow is diverted by
the bypass line away from the add-on control device to the atmosphere
when an engine test cell/stand is operating. You must inspect the
automatic shutdown system at least once every month to verify that it
will detect diversions of flow and shut down the engine test cell/stand
in operation.
(2) If any bypass line is opened, you must include a description of
why the bypass line was opened and the length of time it remained open
in the semiannual compliance reports required in Sec. 63.9350.

firebox of the thermal oxidizer or in the duct immediately downstream of
the firebox before any substantial heat exchange occurs.
(2) For a catalytic oxidizer, you must install a gas temperature
monitor in the gas stream immediately before the catalyst bed, and if
you established operating limits according to Sec. 63.9324(b)(1) and
(2), also install a gas temperature monitor in the gas stream
immediately after the catalyst bed.
(i) If you establish operating limits according to Sec.
63.9324(b)(1) and (2), then you must install the gas temperature
monitors both upstream and downstream of the catalyst bed. The
temperature monitors must be in the gas stream immediately before and
after the catalyst bed to measure the temperature difference across the
bed.
(ii) If you establish operating limits according to Sec.
63.9324(b)(3) and (4), then you must install a gas temperature monitor
upstream of the catalyst bed. The temperature monitor must be in the gas
stream immediately before the catalyst bed to measure the temperature.
(3) For all thermal oxidizers and catalytic oxidizers, you must meet
the
[[Page 42]]
requirements in paragraphs (a) and (c)(3)(i) through (vii) of this
section for each gas temperature monitoring device.
(i) Locate the temperature sensor in a position that provides a
representative temperature.
(ii) Use a temperature sensor with a measurement sensitivity of 4
degrees Fahrenheit or 0.75 percent of the temperature value, whichever
is larger.

interference and chemical contaminants.
(iv) If a gas temperature chart recorder is used, it must have a
measurement sensitivity in the minor division of at least 20 degrees
Fahrenheit.
(v) Perform an electronic calibration at least semiannually
according to the procedures in the manufacturer's owner's manual.
Following the electronic calibration, you must conduct a temperature
sensor validation check in which a second or redundant temperature
sensor placed near the process temperature sensor must yield a reading
within 30 degrees Fahrenheit of the process temperature sensor reading.
(vi) Conduct calibration and validation checks anytime the sensor
exceeds the manufacturer's specified maximum operating temperature range
or install a new temperature sensor.
(vii) At least monthly, inspect components for integrity and
electrical connections for continuity, oxidation, and galvanic
corrosion.
(d) Emission capture systems. The capture system monitoring system
must comply with the applicable requirements in paragraphs (d)(1) and
(2) of this section.
(1) For each flow measurement device, you must meet the requirements
in paragraphs (a) and (d)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section.
(i) Locate a flow sensor in a position that provides a
representative flow measurement in the duct from each capture device in
the emission capture system to the add-on control device.
(ii) Reduce swirling flow or abnormal velocity distributions due to
upstream and downstream disturbances.
(iii) Conduct a flow sensor calibration check at least semiannually.
(iv) At least monthly, inspect components for integrity, electrical
connections for continuity, and mechanical connections for leakage.
(2) For each pressure drop measurement device, you must comply with
the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (d)(2)(i) through (vi) of this
section.

Sec. 63.9307 What are my continuous emissions monitoring system
installation, operation, and maintenance requirements?
(a) You must install, operate, and maintain each CEMS to monitor
carbon monoxide (CO) or total hydrocarbons (THC) and oxygen
(O2) at the outlet of the exhaust system of the engine test
cell/stand or at the outlet of the emission control device.
(b) To comply with the CO or THC percent reduction emission
limitation, you may install, operate, and maintain a CEMS to monitor CO
or THC and O2 at both the inlet and the outlet of the
emission control device.
(c) To comply with either emission limitations, the CEMS must be
installed and operated according to the requirements described in
paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) You must install, operate, and maintain each CEMS according to
the applicable Performance Specification (PS) of 40 CFR part 60,
appendix B (PS-3 or PS-4A).
(2) You must conduct a performance evaluation of each CEMS according
to
[[Page 43]]
the requirements in 40 CFR 63.8 and according to PS-3 of 40 CFR part 60,
appendix B, using Reference Method 3A or 3B for the O2 CEMS,
and according to PS-4A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B, using Reference
Method 10 or 10B for the CO CEMS. If the fuel used in the engines being
tested is natural gas, you may use ASTM D 6522-00, Standard Test Method
for Determination of Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen
Concentrations in Emissions from Natural Gas Fired Reciprocating
Engines, Combustion Turbines, Boilers, and Process Heaters Using
Portable Analyzers (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14). As an
alternative to Method 3B, you may use ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ``Flue
and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus],''
(incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14).
(3) As specified in Sec. 63.8(c)(4)(ii), each CEMS must complete a
minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data
recording) for each successive 15-minute period. You must have at least
two data points, each representing a different 15-minute period within
the same hour, to have a valid hour of data.
(4) All CEMS data must be reduced as specified in Sec. 63.8(g)(2)
and recorded as CO concentration in parts per million by volume, dry
basis (ppmvd), corrected to 15 percent O2 content.
(d) If you have CEMS that are subject to paragraph (a) or (b) of
this section, you must properly maintain and operate the monitors
continuously according to the requirements described in paragraphs
(d)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Proper maintenance. You must maintain the monitoring equipment
at all times that the engine test cell/stand is operating, including but
not limited to, maintaining necessary parts for routine repairs of the
monitoring equipment.
(2) Continued operation. You must operate your CEMS according to
paragraphs (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) You must conduct all monitoring in continuous operation at all
times that the engine test cell/stand is operating, except for, as
applicable, monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, and required
quality assurance or control activities (including, as applicable,
calibration drift checks and required zero and high-level adjustments).
Quality assurance or control activities must be performed according to
procedure 1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix F.
(ii) Data recorded during monitoring malfunctions, associated
repairs, out-of-control periods, and required quality assurance or
control activities must not be used for purposes of calculating data
averages. You must use all of the data collected from all other periods
in assessing compliance. A monitoring malfunction is any sudden,
infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring
equipment to provide valid data. Monitoring failures that are caused in
part by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. Any
period for which the monitoring system is out-of-control and data are
not available for required calculations constitutes a deviation from the
monitoring requirements.
Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.9310 By what date must I conduct the initial compliance
demonstrations?
You must conduct the initial compliance demonstrations that apply to
you in Table 3 to this subpart within 180 calendar days after the
compliance date that is specified for your new or reconstructed affected
source in Sec. 63.9295 and according to the provisions in Sec.
63.7(a)(2).
Sec. 63.9320 What procedures must I use?
(a) You must conduct each initial compliance demonstration that
applies to you in Table 3 to this subpart.
(b) You must conduct an initial performance evaluation of each
capture and control system according to Sec. Sec. 63.9321, 63.9322,
63.9323 and 63.9324, and each CEMS according to the requirements in 40
CFR 63.8 and according to the applicable Performance Specification of 40
CFR part 60, appendix B (PS-3 or PS-4A).
(c) The initial demonstration of compliance with the carbon monoxide
(CO) or total hydrocarbon (THC) concentration limitation consists of the
first 4-
[[Page 44]]
hour rolling average CO or THC concentration recorded after completion
of the CEMS performance evaluation. You must correct the CO or THC
concentration at the outlet of the engine test cell/stand or the
emission control device to a dry basis and to 15 percent O2
content according to Equation 1 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.002
Where:
Cc = concentration of CO or THC, corrected to 15 percent
oxygen, ppmvd
Cunc = total uncorrected concentration of CO or THC, ppmvd
%O2d = concentration of oxygen measured in gas stream, dry
basis, percent by volume.
(d) The initial demonstration of compliance with the CO or THC
percent reduction emission limitation consists of the first 4-hour
rolling average percent reduction in CO or THC recorded after completion
of the performance evaluation of the capture/control system and/or CEMS.
You must complete the actions described in paragraphs (d)(1) through (2)
of this section.
(1) Correct the CO or THC concentrations at the inlet and outlet of
the emission control device to a dry basis and to 15 percent
O2 content using Equation 1 of this section.
(2) Calculate the percent reduction in CO or THC using Equation 2 of
this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.003
Where:
R = percent reduction in CO or THC
Ci = corrected CO or THC concentration at inlet of the
emission control device
Co = corrected CO or THC concentration at the outlet of the
emission control device.
Sec. 63.9321 What are the general requirements for performance tests?
(a) You must conduct each performance test required by Sec. 63.9310
according to the requirements in Sec. 63.7(e)(1) and under the
conditions in this section unless you obtain a waiver of the performance
test according to the provisions in Sec. 63.7(h).
(1) Representative engine testing conditions. You must conduct the
performance test under representative operating conditions for the test
cell/stand. Operations during periods of SSM, and during periods of
nonoperation do not constitute representative conditions. You must
record the process information that is necessary to document operating
conditions during the test and explain why the conditions represent
normal operation.
(2) Representative emission capture system and add-on control device
operating conditions. You must conduct the performance test when the
emission capture system and add-on control device are operating at a
representative flow rate, and the add-on control device is operating at
a representative inlet concentration. You must record information that
is necessary to document emission capture system and add-on control
device operating conditions during the test and explain why the
conditions represent normal operation.
(b) You must conduct each performance test of an emission capture
system according to the requirements in Sec. 63.9322. You must conduct
each performance test of an add-on control device according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.9323.
Sec. 63.9322 How do I determine the emission capture system
efficiency?
You must use the procedures and test methods in this section to
determine capture efficiency as part of the performance test required by
Sec. 63.9310.
(a) Assuming 100 percent capture efficiency. You may assume the
capture system efficiency is 100 percent if both conditions in
paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section are met:
(1) The capture system meets the criteria in Method 204 of appendix
M to 40 CFR part 51 for a potential to emit (PTE) and directs all the
exhaust gases from the enclosure to an add-on control device.
(2) All engine test operations creating exhaust gases for which the
test is applicable are conducted within the capture system.
(b) Measuring capture efficiency. If the capture system does not
meet the criteria in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section, then you
must use one of the
[[Page 45]]
two protocols described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section to
measure capture efficiency. The capture efficiency measurements use
total volatile hydrocarbon (TVH) capture efficiency as a surrogate for
organic HAP capture efficiency. For the protocol in paragraph (c) of
this section, the capture efficiency measurement must consist of three
test runs. Each test run must be at least 3 hours in duration or the
length of a production run, whichever is longer, up to 8 hours. For the
purposes of this test, a production run means the time required for a
single engine test to go from the beginning to the end.
(c) Gas-to-gas protocol using a temporary total enclosure or a
building enclosure. The gas-to-gas protocol compares the mass of TVH
emissions captured by the emission capture system to the mass of TVH
emissions not captured. Use a temporary total enclosure or a building
enclosure and the procedures in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this
section to measure emission capture system efficiency using the gas-to-
gas protocol.
(1) Either use a building enclosure or construct an enclosure around
the engine test cell/stand and all areas where emissions from the engine
testing subsequently occur. The enclosure must meet the applicable
definition of a temporary total enclosure or building enclosure in
Method 204 of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51.
(2) Use Method 204B or 204C of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 to
measure the total mass, kg, of TVH emissions captured by the emission
capture system during each capture efficiency test run as measured at
the inlet to the add-on control device. To make the measurement,
substitute TVH for each occurrence of the term VOC in the methods.
(i) The sampling points for the Method 204B or 204C of appendix M to
40 CFR part 51 measurement must be upstream from the add-on control
device and must represent total emissions routed from the capture system
and entering the add-on control device.
(ii) If multiple emission streams from the capture system enter the
add-on control device without a single common duct, then the emissions
entering the add-on control device must be simultaneously measured in
each duct, and the total emissions entering the add-on control device
must be determined.
(3) Use Method 204D or 204E of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 to
measure the total mass, kg, of TVH emissions that are not captured by
the emission capture system; they are measured as they exit the
temporary total enclosure or building enclosure during each capture
efficiency test run. To make the measurement, substitute TVH for each
occurrence of the term VOC in the methods.
(i) Use Method 204D of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 if the enclosure
is a temporary total enclosure.
(ii) Use Method 204E of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 if the
enclosure is a building enclosure. During the capture efficiency
measurement, all organic compound emitting operations inside the
building enclosure, other than the engine test cell/stand operation for
which capture efficiency is being determined, must be shut down, but all
fans and blowers must be operating normally.
(4) For each capture efficiency test run, determine the percent
capture efficiency of the emission capture system using Equation 1 of
this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.004
Where:
CE = capture efficiency of the emission capture system vented to the
add-on control device, percent
TVHcaptured = total mass of TVH captured by the emission
capture system as measured at the inlet to the add-on control
device during the emission capture efficiency
[[Page 46]]
test run, kg, determined according to paragraph (c)(2) of this
section
TVHuncaptured = total mass of TVH that is not captured by the
emission capture system and that exits from the temporary
total enclosure or building enclosure during the capture
efficiency test run, kg, determined according to paragraph
(c)(3) of this section.
(5) Determine the capture efficiency the emission capture system as
the average of the capture efficiencies measured in the three test runs.
(d) Alternative capture efficiency protocol. As an alternative to
the procedure specified in paragraph (c) of this section, you may
determine capture efficiency using any other capture efficiency protocol
and test methods that satisfy the criteria of either the data quality
objective or lower control limit approach as described in appendix A to
subpart KK of this part.
Sec. 63.9323 How do I determine the add-on control device emission
destruction or removal efficiency?
You must use the procedures and test methods in this section to
determine the add-on control device emission destruction or removal
efficiency as part of the performance test required by Sec. 63.9310.
You must conduct three test runs as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(3), and
each test run must last at least 1 hour.
(a) For all types of add-on control devices, use the test methods
specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) Use Method 1 or 1A of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, as
appropriate, to select sampling sites and velocity traverse points.
(2) Use Method 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, or 2G of appendix A to 40 CFR part
60, as appropriate, to measure gas volumetric flow rate.
(3) Use Method 3, 3A, or 3B of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, as
appropriate, for gas analysis to determine dry molecular weight. The
ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 Part 10 is an acceptable alternative to Method
3B (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14).
(4) Use Method 4 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, to determine stack
gas moisture.
(5) Methods for determining gas volumetric flow rate, dry molecular
weight, and stack gas moisture must be performed, as applicable, during
each test run.
(b) Measure total gaseous organic mass emissions as carbon at the
inlet and outlet of the add-on control device simultaneously, using
either Method 25 or 25A of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, as specified in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this section. You must use the same
method for both the inlet and outlet measurements.
(1) Use Method 25 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 if the add-on
control device is an oxidizer, and you expect the total gaseous organic
concentration as carbon to be more than 50 parts per million at the
control device outlet.
(2) Use Method 25A of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 if the add-on
control device is an oxidizer, and you expect the total gaseous organic
concentration as carbon to be 50 ppm or less at the control device
outlet.
(c) For each test run, determine the total gaseous organic emissions
mass flow rates for the inlet and the outlet of the add-on control
device, using Equation 1 of this section. If there is more than one
inlet or outlet to the add-on control device, you must calculate the
total gaseous organic mass flow rate using Equation 1 of this section
for each inlet and each outlet and then total all of the inlet emissions
and total all of the outlet emissions.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.005
Where:
Mf = total gaseous organic emissions mass flow rate, kg/hour
(kg/h)
Cc = concentration of organic compounds as carbon in the vent
gas, as determined by Method 25 or Method 25A, parts per

Qsd = volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting the
add-on control device, as determined by Method 2, 2A, 2C, 2D,
2F,

or 2G, dry standard cubic meters/hour (dscm/h)
0.0416 = conversion factor for molar volume, kg-moles per cubic meter
(mol/m\3\) (@ 293 Kelvin [K] and 760 millimeters of mercury

(d) For each test run, determine the add-on control device organic
emissions destruction or removal efficiency, using Equation 2 of this
section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.006
Where:
DRE = organic emissions destruction or removal efficiency of the add-on
control device, percent
Mfi = total gaseous organic emissions mass flow rate at the
inlet(s) to the add-on control device, using Equation 1 of
this section, kg/h
Mfo = total gaseous organic emissions mass flow rate at the
outlet(s) of the add-on control device, using Equation 1 of
this section, kg/h.
(e) Determine the emission destruction or removal efficiency of the
add-on control device as the average of the efficiencies determined in
the three test runs and calculated in Equation 2 of this section.
Sec. 63.9324 How do I establish the emission capture system and
add-on control device operating limits during the performance test?
During the performance test required by Sec. 63.9310, you must
establish the operating limits required by Sec. 63.9302 according to
this section, unless you have received approval for alternative
monitoring and operating limits under Sec. 63.8(f) as specified in
Sec. 63.9302.
(a) Thermal oxidizers. If your add-on control device is a thermal
oxidizer, establish the operating limits according to paragraphs (a)(1)
and (2) of this section.
(1) During the performance test, you must monitor and record the
combustion temperature at least once every 15 minutes during each of the
three test runs. You must monitor the temperature in the firebox of the
thermal oxidizer or immediately downstream of the firebox before any
substantial heat exchange occurs.
(2) Use the data collected during the performance test to calculate
and record the average combustion temperature maintained during the
performance test. This average combustion temperature is the minimum
operating limit for your thermal oxidizer.
(b) Catalytic oxidizers. If your add-on control device is a
catalytic oxidizer, establish the operating limits according to either
paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) or paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this section.
(1) During the performance test, you must monitor and record the
temperature just before the catalyst bed and the temperature difference
across the catalyst bed at least once every 15 minutes during each of
the three test runs.
(2) Use the data collected during the performance test to calculate
and record the average temperature just before the catalyst bed and the
average temperature difference across the catalyst bed maintained during
the performance test. These are the minimum operating limits for your
catalytic oxidizer.
(3) As an alternative to monitoring the temperature difference
across the catalyst bed, you may monitor the temperature at the inlet to
the catalyst bed and implement a site-specific inspection and
maintenance plan for your catalytic oxidizer as specified in paragraph
(b)(4) of this section. During the performance test, you must monitor
and record the temperature just before the catalyst bed at least once

assembly and fuel supply lines for problems and, as necessary, adjust
the equipment to assure proper air-to-fuel mixtures.
(iii) Annual internal and monthly external visual inspection of the
catalyst bed to check for channeling, abrasion, and settling. If
problems are found, you must take corrective action consistent with the
manufacturer's recommendation and conduct a new performance test to
determine destruction efficiency according to Sec. 63.9323.
(c) Emission capture system. For each capture device that is not
part of a PTE that meets the criteria of Sec. 63.9322(a), establish an
operating limit for either the gas volumetric flow rate or duct static
pressure, as specified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section. The
operating limit for a PTE is specified in Table 3 to this subpart.
(1) During the capture efficiency determination required by Sec.
63.9310, you must monitor and record either the gas volumetric flow rate
or the duct static pressure for each separate capture device in your
emission capture system at least once every 15 minutes during each of
the three test runs at a point in the duct between the capture device
and the add-on control device inlet.
(2) Calculate and record the average gas volumetric flow rate or
duct static pressure for the three test runs for each capture device.

Subpart QQQQQ_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Friction Materials Manufacturing Facilities
Source: 67 FR 64506, Oct. 18, 2002, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.9480 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) for friction materials manufacturing facilities
that use
[[Page 63]]
a solvent-based process. This subpart also establishes requirements to
demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with all applicable
emission limitations in this subpart.
Sec. 63.9485 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a friction
materials manufacturing facility (as defined in Sec. 63.9565) that is
(or is part of) a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP)
emissions on the first compliance date that applies to you, as specified
in Sec. 63.9495. Your friction materials manufacturing facility is a
major source of HAP if it emits or has the potential to emit any single
HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any
combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per
year.
(b) The requirements in this subpart do not apply to research and
development facilities, as defined in section 112(c)(7) of the Clean Air
Act.
Sec. 63.9490 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source at your friction materials manufacturing facility.
(b) The affected source covered by this subpart is each new,
reconstructed, or existing solvent mixer (as defined in Sec. 63.9565)
at your friction materials manufacturing facility.
(c) A solvent mixer at your friction materials manufacturing
facility is new if you commence construction of the solvent mixer after
October 18, 2002. An affected source is reconstructed if it meets the
definition of ``reconstruction'' in Sec. 63.2, and reconstruction is
commenced after October 18, 2002.
(d) A solvent mixer at your friction materials manufacturing
facility is existing if it is not new or reconstructed.
Sec. 63.9495 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) If you have an existing solvent mixer, you must comply with each

(2) Each test run must last an entire batch cycle unless you develop
an emissions profile, as specified in items 8(a)(i)(4) and 17(b)(i)(4)
of Table 4 to this subpart, or you satisfy the conditions for
terminating a test run prior to the completion of a batch cycle as
specified in item 8(a)(i)(5) of Table 4 to this subpart.
(3) Each test run must be performed over a separate batch cycle
unless you satisfy the conditions for conducting both test runs over a
single batch cycle, as described in paragraphs (f)(3)(i) and (ii) of
this section.
(i) You do not produce the product that corresponds to the maximum
organic HAP processing rate for that batch process source in consecutive

(a) You must monitor and collect data according to this section.
[[Page 110]]
(b) At all times, you must maintain your monitoring systems
including, but not limited to, maintaining necessary parts for routine
repairs of the monitoring equipment.
(c) Except for, as applicable, monitoring system malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or quality control
activities, you must monitor continuously whenever your affected process
unit is operating. For purposes of calculating data averages, you must
not use data recorded during monitoring system malfunctions, associated
repairs, and required quality assurance or quality control activities.
You must use all the data collected during all other periods in
assessing compliance. A monitoring system malfunction is any sudden,
infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring system
to provide valid data. Monitoring system malfunctions include out of
control continuous monitoring systems (CMS), such as a CPMS. Any
averaging period for which you do not have valid monitoring data as a
result of a monitoring system malfunction and for which such data are
required constitutes a deviation, and you must notify the Administrator
in accordance with Sec. 63.9814(e). Monitoring system failures are
different from monitoring system malfunctions in that they are caused in
part by poor maintenance or careless operation. Any period for which
there is a monitoring system failure and data are not available for
required calculations constitutes a deviation and you must notify the
Administrator in accordance with Sec. 63.9814(e).
Sec. 63.9810 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
emission limits, operating limits, and work practice standards?
(a) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each emission

(b) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each operating
limit specified in Table 2 to this subpart that applies to you according
to the requirements specified in Table 8 to this subpart.
(c) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each work
practice standard specified in Table 3 to this subpart that applies to
you according to the requirements specified in Table 9 to this subpart.
(d) For each affected source that is equipped with an add-on APCD
that is not addressed in Table 2 to this subpart or that is using
process changes as a means of meeting the emission limits in Table 1 to
this subpart, you must demonstrate continuous compliance with each
emission limit in Table 1 to this subpart and each operating limit
established as required in Sec. 63.9800(i)(3) according to the methods
specified in your approved alternative monitoring methods request as
described in Sec. 63.9800(i)(2).
(e) You must report each instance in which you did not meet each
emission limit and each operating limit in this subpart that applies to
you. This includes periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. These
instances are deviations from the emission limitations in this subpart.
These deviations must be reported according to the requirements in Sec.
63.9814.
(1) [Reserved]
(2) Consistent with Sec. Sec. 63.6(e) and 63.7(e)(1), deviations
that occur during a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are not
violations if you demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that
you were operating in accordance with Sec. 63.6(e)(1) and your OM&M
plan. The Administrator will determine whether deviations that occur
during a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are violations,
according to the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e).

refractory products. Autoclaves also can be used as
[[Page 115]]
defumers following the impregnation process.
Bag leak detection system means an instrument that is capable of
monitoring particulate matter loadings in the exhaust of a fabric filter
in order to detect bag failures. A bag leak detection system includes,
but is not limited to, an instrument that operates on triboelectric,

relative PM loadings.
Basket means the metal container used to hold refractory shapes for
pitch impregnation during the shape preheating, impregnation, defuming,
and, if applicable, coking processes.
Batch process means a process in which a set of refractory shapes is
acted upon as a single unit according to a predetermined schedule,
during which none of the refractory shapes being processed are added or
removed. A batch process does not operate continuously.
Binder means a substance added to a granular material to give it
workability and green or dry strength.
Catalytic oxidizer means an add-on air pollution control device that
is designed specifically to destroy organic compounds in a process
exhaust gas stream by catalytic incineration. A catalytic oxidizer

Continuous process means a process that operates continuously. In a
continuous process unit, the materials or shapes that are processed are
either continuously charged (fed) to and discharged from the process
unit, or are charged and discharged at regular time intervals without
the process unit being shut down. Continuous thermal process units, such
as tunnel kilns, generally include temperature zones that are maintained
at relatively constant temperature and through which the materials or
shapes being processed are conveyed continuously or at regular time
intervals.
Curing oven means a thermal process unit that operates at a peak
temperature typically between 90[deg] and 340 [deg]C (200[deg] and 650

emit organic HAP. The maximum organic HAP processing rate is a function
of the organic HAP processing rate, process operating temperature, and
other process operating parameters that affect emissions of organic HAP.
(See also the definition of organic HAP processing rate.)
Organic HAP processing rate means the rate at which the mass of
organic HAP materials contained in refractory shapes are processed in an
affected thermal process unit. The organic HAP processing rate is a
function of the amount of organic HAP contained in the resins, binders,
and additives used in a refractory mix; the amounts of those resins,
binders, and additives in the refractory mix; and the rate at which the
refractory shapes formed from the refractory mix are processed in an
affected thermal process unit. For continuous process units, the organic
HAP processing rate is expressed in units of mass of organic HAP per
unit of time (e.g., pounds per hour). For batch process units, the
organic HAP processing rate is expressed in units of mass of organic HAP
per unit mass of refractory shapes processed during the batch process
cycle (e.g., pounds per ton).

consecutive hours over which the sum of the hourly HF mass emissions
rates is greater than the sum of the hourly HF mass emissions rates for
any other period of 3 consecutive hours during the same batch process
cycle.
Period of natural gas curtailment or supply interruption means a
period of time during which the supply of natural gas to an affected
facility is halted for reasons beyond the control of the facility. An
increase in the cost or unit price of natural gas does not constitute a
period of natural gas curtailment or supply interruption.

tar.
Pitch-bonded refractory product means a formed refractory product
that is manufactured using pitch as a bonding agent. Pitch-bonded
refractory products are manufactured by mixing pitch with magnesium

raw materials, and forming the mix into shapes. After forming, pitch-
bonded refractory products are cured in a curing oven and may be
subsequently fired in a kiln.
Pitch-impregnated refractory product means a refractory shape that
has been fired in a kiln, then impregnated with heated coal tar or

temperature, pressure) measured by the primary sensor of the CPMS.
Refractory product means nonmetallic materials containing less than
50 percent carbon by weight and having those chemical and physical
properties that make them applicable for structures, or as components of
systems, that are exposed to environments above 538 [deg]C (1000
[deg]F). This definition includes, but is not limited to: refractory
bricks, kiln furniture, crucibles, refractory ceramic fiber, and other
materials used as linings for boilers, kilns, and other processing units
and equipment where extremes of temperature, corrosion, and abrasion
would destroy other materials.
Refractory products that use organic HAP means resin-bonded
refractory products, pitch-bonded refractory products, and other
refractory products that are produced using a substance that is an
organic HAP, that releases an organic HAP during production of the
refractory product, or that contains an organic HAP, such as methanol or
ethylene glycol.

and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) as defined
in Sec. 63.10042 of this subpart. This subpart also establishes
requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with the
emission limitations.
Sec. 63.9981 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a coal-fired
EGU or an oil-fired EGU as defined in Sec. 63.10042 of this subpart.
Sec. 63.9982 What is the affected source of this subpart?
(a) This subpart applies to each individual or group of two or more
new, reconstructed, or existing affected source(s) as described in
paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section within a contiguous area and
under common control.
(1) The affected source of this subpart is the collection of all
existing coal- or oil-fired EGUs, as defined in Sec. 63.10042, within a
subcategory.
[[Page 159]]
(2) The affected source of this subpart is each new or reconstructed
coal- or oil-fired EGU as defined in Sec. 63.10042.
(b) An EGU is new if you commence construction of the coal- or oil-
fired EGU after May 3, 2011.
(c) An EGU is reconstructed if you meet the reconstruction criteria
as defined in Sec. 63.2, and if you commence reconstruction after May
3, 2011.
(d) An EGU is existing if it is not new or reconstructed. An
existing electric steam generating unit that meets the applicability
requirements after the effective date of this final rule due to a change
in process (e.g., fuel or utilization) is considered to be an existing
source under this subpart.

FR 20180, Apr. 6, 2016]
General Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.10000 What are my general requirements for complying
with this subpart?
(a) You must be in compliance with the emission limits and operating
limits in this subpart. These limits apply to you at all times except
during periods of startup and shutdown; however, for coal-fired, liquid
oil-fired, or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGUs, you are required to
meet the work practice requirements, items 3 and 4, in Table 3 to this
subpart during periods of startup or shutdown.
(b) At all times you must operate and maintain any affected source,
including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring
equipment, in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution
control practices for minimizing emissions. Determination
[[Page 161]]
of whether such operation and maintenance procedures are being used will
be based on information available to the EPA Administrator which may
include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation
and maintenance procedures, review of operation and maintenance records,
and inspection of the source.
(c)(1) For coal-fired units, IGCC units, and solid oil-derived fuel-
fired units, initial performance testing is required for all pollutants,
to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limits.
(i) For a coal-fired or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU or IGCC
EGU, you may conduct initial performance testing in accordance with
Sec. 63.10005(h), to determine whether the EGU qualifies as a low
emitting EGU (LEE) for one or more applicable emission limits, except as
otherwise provided in paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of this section:
(A) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(1)(i)(C) of this section,
you may not pursue the LEE option if your coal-fired, IGCC, or solid
oil-derived fuel-fired EGU is equipped with a main stack and a bypass
stack or bypass duct configuration that allows the effluent to bypass
any pollutant control device.
(B) You may not pursue the LEE option for Hg if your coal-fired,
solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU or IGCC EGU is new.
(C) You may pursue the LEE option provided that:
(1) Your EGU's control device bypass emissions are measured in the
bypass stack or duct or your control device bypass exhaust is routed
through the EGU main stack so that emissions are measured during the
bypass event; or
(2) Except for hours during which only clean fuel is combusted, you
bypass your EGU control device only during emergency periods for no more
than a total of 2 percent of your EGU's annual operating hours; you use
clean fuels to the maximum extent possible during an emergency period;
and you prepare and submit a report describing the emergency event, its
cause, corrective action taken, and estimates of emissions released
during the emergency event. You must include these emergency emissions
along with performance test results in assessing whether your EGU
maintains LEE status.
(ii) For a qualifying LEE for Hg emissions limits, you must conduct
a 30-day performance test using Method 30B at least once every 12
calendar months to demonstrate continued LEE status.
(iii) For a qualifying LEE of any other applicable emissions limits,
you must conduct a performance test at least once every 36 calendar
months to demonstrate continued LEE status.
(iv) If your coal-fired or solid oil derived fuel-fired EGU or IGCC
EGU does not qualify as a LEE for total non-mercury HAP metals,
individual non-mercury HAP metals, or filterable particulate matter
(PM), you must demonstrate compliance through an initial performance
test and you must monitor continuous performance through either use of a
particulate matter continuous parametric monitoring system (PM CPMS), a
PM CEMS, or, for an existing EGU, compliance performance testing
repeated quarterly.
(v) If your coal-fired or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU does not
qualify as a LEE for hydrogen chloride (HCl), you may demonstrate
initial and continuous compliance through use of an HCl CEMS, installed
and operated in accordance with Appendix B to this subpart. As an
alternative to HCl CEMS, you may demonstrate initial and continuous
compliance by conducting an initial and periodic quarterly performance
stack test for HCl. If your EGU uses wet or dry flue gas desulfurization
technology (this includes limestone injection into a fluidized bed
combustion unit), you may apply a second alternative to HCl CEMS by
installing and operating a sulfur dioxide (SO2) CEMS
installed and operated in accordance with part 75 of this chapter to
demonstrate compliance with the applicable SO2 emissions
limit.
(vi) If your coal-fired or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU does not
qualify as a LEE for Hg, you must demonstrate initial and continuous
compliance through use of a Hg CEMS or a sorbent trap monitoring system,
in accordance with appendix A to this subpart.
(A) You may choose to use separate sorbent trap monitoring systems
to comply with this subpart: One sorbent
[[Page 162]]
trap monitoring system to demonstrate compliance with the numeric
mercury emissions limit during periods other than startup or shutdown
and the other sorbent trap monitoring system to report average mercury
concentration during startup periods or shutdown periods.
(B) You may choose to use one sorbent trap monitoring system to
demonstrate compliance with the mercury emissions limit at all times
(including startup periods and shutdown periods) and to report average
mercury concentration. You must follow the startup or shutdown
requirements that follow and as given in Table 3 to this subpart for
each coal-fired, liquid oil-fired, or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU.
(2) For liquid oil-fired EGUs, except limited use liquid oil-fired
EGUs, initial performance testing is required for all pollutants, to
demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limits.
(i) For an existing liquid oil-fired unit, you may conduct the
performance testing in accordance with Sec. 63.10005(h), to determine
whether the unit qualifies as a LEE for one or more pollutants. For a
qualifying LEE for Hg emissions limits, you must conduct a 30-day
performance test using Method 30B at least once every 12 calendar months
to demonstrate continued LEE status. For a qualifying LEE of any other
applicable emissions limits, you must conduct a performance test at
least once every 36 calendar months to demonstrate continued LEE status.
(ii) If your liquid oil-fired unit does not qualify as a LEE for
total HAP metals (including mercury), individual metals (including
mercury), or filterable PM you must demonstrate compliance through an
initial performance test and you must monitor continuous performance
through either use of a PM CPMS, a PM CEMS, or, for an existing EGU,
performance testing conducted quarterly.
(iii) If your existing liquid oil-fired unit does not qualify as a
LEE for hydrogen chloride (HCl) or for hydrogen fluoride (HF), you may
demonstrate initial and continuous compliance through use of an HCl
CEMS, an HF CEMS, or an HCl and HF CEMS, installed and operated in
accordance with Appendix B to this rule. As an alternative to HCl CEMS,
HF CEMS, or HCl and HF CEMS, you may demonstrate initial and continuous
compliance through quarterly performance testing and parametric
monitoring for HCl and HF. If you choose to use quarterly testing and
parametric monitoring, then you must also develop a site-specific
monitoring plan that identifies the CMS you will use to ensure that the
operations of the EGU remains consistent with those during the
performance test. As another alternative, you may measure or obtain, and
keep records of, fuel moisture content; as long as fuel moisture does
not exceed 1.0 percent by weight, you need not conduct other HCl or HF
monitoring or testing.
(iv) If your unit qualifies as a limited-use liquid oil-fired as
defined in Sec. 63.10042, then you are not subject to the emission
limits in Tables 1 and 2, but you must comply with the performance tune-
up work practice requirements in Table 3.
(d)(1) If you demonstrate compliance with any applicable emissions
limit through use of a continuous monitoring system (CMS), where a CMS
includes a continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) as well as a
continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS), you must develop a site-
specific monitoring plan and submit this site-specific monitoring plan,
if requested, at least 60 days before your initial performance
evaluation (where applicable) of your CMS. This requirement also applies
to you if you petition the Administrator for alternative monitoring
parameters under Sec. 63.8(f). This requirement to develop and submit a
site-specific monitoring plan does not apply to affected sources with
existing monitoring plans that apply to CEMS and CPMS prepared under
appendix B to part 60 or part 75 of this chapter, and that meet the
requirements of Sec. 63.10010. Using the process described in Sec.
63.8(f)(4), you may request approval of monitoring system quality
assurance and quality control procedures alternative to those specified
in this paragraph of this section and, if approved, include those in
your site-specific monitoring plan. The monitoring plan must address the
provisions in
[[Page 163]]
paragraphs (d)(2) through (5) of this section.
(2) The site-specific monitoring plan shall include the information
specified in paragraphs (d)(5)(i) through (d)(5)(vii) of this section.
Alternatively, the requirements of paragraphs (d)(5)(i) through
(d)(5)(vii) are considered to be met for a particular CMS or sorbent
trap monitoring system if:
(i) The CMS or sorbent trap monitoring system is installed,
certified, maintained, operated, and quality-assured either according to
part 75 of this chapter, or appendix A or B to this subpart; and
(ii) The recordkeeping and reporting requirements of part 75 of this
chapter, or appendix A or B to this subpart, that pertain to the CMS are
met.
(3) If requested by the Administrator, you must submit the
monitoring plan (or relevant portion of the plan) at least 60 days
before the initial performance evaluation of a particular CMS, except
where the CMS has already undergone a performance evaluation that meets
the requirements of Sec. 63.10010 (e.g., if the CMS was previously
certified under another program).
(4) You must operate and maintain the CMS according to the site-
specific monitoring plan.
(5) The provisions of the site-specific monitoring plan must address
the following items:
(i) Installation of the CMS or sorbent trap monitoring system
sampling probe or other interface at a measurement location relative to
each affected process unit such that the measurement is representative
of control of the exhaust emissions (e.g., on or downstream of the last
control device). See Sec. 63.10010(a) for further details. For PM CPMS
installations, follow the procedures in Sec. 63.10010(h).
(ii) Performance and equipment specifications for the sample
interface, the pollutant concentration or parametric signal analyzer,
and the data collection and reduction systems.
(iii) Schedule for conducting initial and periodic performance
evaluations.
(iv) Performance evaluation procedures and acceptance criteria
(e.g., calibrations), including the quality control program in
accordance with the general requirements of Sec. 63.8(d).
(v) On-going operation and maintenance procedures, in accordance
with the general requirements of Sec. Sec. 63.8(c)(1)(ii), (c)(3), and
(c)(4)(ii).
(vi) Conditions that define a CMS that is out of control consistent
with Sec. 63.8(c)(7)(i) and for responding to out of control periods
consistent with Sec. Sec. 63.8(c)(7)(ii) and (c)(8).
(vii) On-going recordkeeping and reporting procedures, in accordance
with the general requirements of Sec. Sec. 63.10(c), (e)(1), and
(e)(2)(i), or as specifically required under this subpart.
(e) As part of your demonstration of continuous compliance, you must
perform periodic tune-ups of your EGU(s), according to Sec.
63.10021(e).
(f) Except as provided under paragraph (n) of this section, you are
subject to the requirements of this subpart for at least 6 months
following the last date you met the definition of an EGU subject to this
subpart (e.g., 6 months after a cogeneration unit provided more than one
third of its potential electrical output capacity and more than 25
megawatts electrical output to any power distributions system for sale).
You may opt to remain subject to the provisions of this subpart beyond 6
months after the last date you met the definition of an EGU subject to
this subpart, unless your unit is a solid waste incineration unit
subject to standards under CAA section 129 (e.g., 40 CFR part 60,
subpart CCCC (New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units, or subpart DDDD (Emissions
Guidelines (EG) for Existing Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subpart, an
EGU that starts combusting solid waste is immediately subject to
standards under CAA section 129 and the EGU remains subject to those
standards until the EGU no longer meets the definition of a solid waste
incineration unit consistent with the provisions of the applicable CAA
section 129 standards.
(g) Except as provided under paragraph (n) of this section, if your
unit no longer meets the definition of an EGU subject to this subpart
you must be in compliance with any newly applicable standards on the
date you are no
[[Page 164]]
longer subject to this subpart. The date you are no longer subject to
this subpart is a date selected by you, that must be at least 6 months
from the date that your unit last met the definition of an EGU subject
to this subpart or the date you begin combusting solid waste, consistent
with Sec. 63.9983(d). Your source must remain in compliance with this
subpart until the date you select to cease complying with this subpart
or the date you begin combusting solid waste, whichever is earlier.
(h)(1) If you own or operate an EGU that does not meet the
definition of an EGU subject to this subpart on April 16, 2015, and you
commence or recommence operations that cause you to meet the definition
of an EGU subject to this subpart, you are subject to the provisions of
this subpart, including, but not limited to, the emission limitations
and the monitoring requirements, as of the first day you meet the
definition of an EGU subject to this subpart. You must complete all
initial compliance demonstrations for this subpart applicable to your
EGU within 180 days after you commence or recommence operations that
cause you to meet the definition of an EGU subject to this subpart.
(2) You must provide 30 days prior notice of the date you intend to
commence or recommence operations that cause you to meet the definition
of an EGU subject to this subpart. The notification must identify:
(i) The name of the owner or operator of the EGU, the location of
the facility, the unit(s) that will commence or recommence operations
that will cause the unit(s) to meet the definition of an EGU subject to
this subpart, and the date of the notice;
(ii) The 40 CFR part 60, part 62, or part 63 subpart and subcategory

(j) All air pollution control equipment necessary for compliance
with any newly applicable emissions limits which apply as a result of
the cessation or commencement or recommencement of operations that cause
your EGU to meet the definition of an EGU subject to this subpart must
be installed and operational as of the date your source ceases to be or
becomes subject to this subpart.
(k) All monitoring systems necessary for compliance with any newly
applicable monitoring requirements which apply as a result of the
cessation or commencement or recommencement of operations that cause
your EGU to meet the definition of an EGU subject to this subpart must

natural gas or biomass after your compliance date (or, if applicable,
after your approved extended compliance date), as demonstrated by being
subject to a permit provision or physical limitation (including
retirement) that prevents you from operating in a manner that would
subject you to this subpart, you are no longer subject to this subpart,
notwithstanding the coal or oil usage in the previous calendar years.
The date on which you are no longer subject to this subpart is the date
on which you converted to natural gas or biomass firing; it is also the
date on which you must be in compliance with any newly applicable
standards.

Sec. 63.10001 [Reserved]
Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.10005 What are my initial compliance requirements and by
what date must I conduct them?
(a) General requirements. For each of your affected EGUs, you must
demonstrate initial compliance with each applicable emissions limit in
Table 1 or 2 of this subpart through performance testing. Where two
emissions limits are specified for a particular pollutant (e.g., a heat
input-based limit in lb/MMBtu and a gross output-based limit in lb/MWh),
you may demonstrate compliance with either emission limit. For a
particular compliance demonstration, you may be required to conduct one
or more of the following activities in conjunction with performance
testing: collection of data, e.g., hourly gross output data (megawatts);
establishment of operating limits according to Sec. 63.10011 and Tables
4 and 7 to this subpart; and CMS performance evaluations. In all cases,
you must demonstrate initial compliance no later than the date in
paragraph (f) of this section for tune-up work practices for existing
EGUs; the date that compliance must be demonstrated, as given in Sec.
63.9984 for other requirements for existing EGUs; and in paragraph (g)
of this section for all requirements for new EGUs.
(1) To demonstrate initial compliance with an applicable emissions
limit in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart using stack testing, the initial
performance test generally consists of three runs at specified process
operating conditions using approved methods. If you are required to
establish operating limits (see paragraph (d) of this section and Table
4 to this subpart), you must collect all applicable parametric data
during the performance test period. Also,
[[Page 166]]
if you choose to comply with an electrical output-based emission limit,
you must collect hourly electrical load data during the test period.
(2) To demonstrate initial compliance using either a CMS that
measures HAP concentrations directly (i.e., an Hg, HCl, or HF CEMS, or a
sorbent trap monitoring system) or an SO2 or PM CEMS, the
initial performance test shall consist of 30- or, for certain coal-fired
existing EGUs that use emissions averaging for Hg, 90-boiler operating
days. If the CMS is certified prior to the compliance date (or, if
applicable, the approved extended compliance date), the test shall begin
with the first operating day on or after that date, except as otherwise
provided in paragraph (b) of this section. If the CMS is not certified
prior to the compliance date, the test shall begin with the first
operating day after certification testing is successfully completed. In
all cases, the initial 30- or 90- operating day averaging period must be
completed on or before the date that compliance must be demonstrated
(i.e., 180 days after the applicable compliance date).
(i) The CMS performance test must demonstrate compliance with the
applicable Hg, HCl, HF, PM, or SO2 emissions limit in Table 1
or 2 to this subpart.
(ii) You must collect hourly data from auxiliary monitoring systems
(i.e., stack gas flow rate, CO2, O2, or moisture,
as applicable) during the performance test period, in order to convert
the pollutant concentrations to units of the standard. If you choose to
comply with a gross output-based emission limit, you must also collect
hourly gross output data during the performance test period.
(iii) For a group of affected units that are in the same
subcategory, are subject to the same emission standards, and share a
common stack, if you elect to demonstrate compliance by monitoring
emissions at the common stack, startup and shutdown emissions (if any)
that occur during the 30-(or, if applicable, 90-) boiler operating day
performance test must either be excluded from or included in the
compliance demonstration as follows:
(A) If one of the units that shares the stack either starts up or
shuts down at a time when none of the other units is operating, you must
exclude all pollutant emission rates measured during the startup or
shutdown period, unless you are using a sorbent trap monitoring system
to measure Hg emissions and have elected to include startup and shutdown
emissions in the compliance demonstrations;
(B) If all units that are currently operating are in the startup or
shutdown mode, you must exclude all pollutant emission rates measured
during the startup or shutdown period, unless you are using a sorbent
trap monitoring system to measure Hg emissions and have elected to
include startup and shutdown emissions in the compliance demonstrations;
or
(C) If any unit starts up or shuts down at a time when another unit
is operating, and the other unit is not in the startup or shutdown mode,
you must include all pollutant emission rates measured during the
startup or shutdown period in the compliance demonstrations.
(b) Performance testing requirements. If you choose to use
performance testing to demonstrate initial compliance with the
applicable emissions limits in Tables 1 and 2 to this subpart for your
EGUs, you must conduct the tests according to Sec. 63.10007 and Table 5
to this subpart. For the purposes of the initial compliance
demonstration, you may use test data and results from a performance test
conducted prior to the date on which compliance is required as specified
in Sec. 63.9984, provided that the following conditions are fully met:
(1) For a performance test based on stack test data, the test was
conducted no more than 12 calendar months prior to the date on which
compliance is required as specified in Sec. 63.9984;
(2) For a performance test based on data from a certified CEMS or
sorbent trap monitoring system, the test consists of all valid CMS data
recorded in the 30 boiler operating days immediately preceding that
date;
(3) The performance test was conducted in accordance with all
applicable requirements in Sec. 63.10007 and Table 5 to this subpart;
[[Page 167]]
(4) A record of all parameters needed to convert pollutant
concentrations to units of the emission standard (e.g., stack flow rate,
diluent gas concentrations, hourly gross outputs) is available for the
entire performance test period; and
(5) For each performance test based on stack test data, you certify,
and keep documentation demonstrating, that the EGU configuration,
control devices, and fuel(s) have remained consistent with conditions
since the prior performance test was conducted.
(6) For performance stack test data that are collected prior to the
date that compliance must be demonstrated and are used to demonstrate
initial compliance with applicable emissions limits, the interval for
subsequent stack tests begins on the date that compliance must be
demonstrated.
(c) Operating limits. In accordance with Sec. 63.10010 and Table 4
to this subpart, you may be required to establish operating limits using
PM CPMS and using site-specific monitoring for certain liquid oil-fired
units as part of your initial compliance demonstration.
(d) CMS requirements. If, for a particular emission or operating
limit, you are required to (or elect to) demonstrate initial compliance
using a continuous monitoring system, the CMS must pass a performance
evaluation prior to the initial compliance demonstration. If a CMS has
been previously certified under another state or federal program and is
continuing to meet the on-going quality-assurance (QA) requirements of
that program, then, provided that the certification and QA provisions of
that program meet the applicable requirements of Sec. Sec. 63.10010(b)
through (h), an additional performance evaluation of the CMS is not
required under this subpart.
(1) For an affected coal-fired, solid oil-derived fuel-fired, or
liquid oil-fired EGU, you may demonstrate initial compliance with the
applicable SO2, HCl, or HF emissions limit in Table 1 or 2 to
this subpart through use of an SO2, HCl, or HF CEMS installed
and operated in accordance with part 75 of this chapter or appendix B to
this subpart, as applicable. You may also demonstrate compliance with a
filterable PM emission limit in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart through use
of a PM CEMS installed, certified, and operated in accordance with Sec.
63.10010(i). Initial compliance is achieved if the arithmetic average of
30-boiler operating days of quality-assured CEMS data, expressed in
units of the standard (see Sec. 63.10007(e)), meets the applicable
SO2, PM, HCl, or HF emissions limit in Table 1 or 2 to this
subpart. Use Equation 19-19 of Method 19 in appendix A-7 to part 60 of
this chapter to calculate the 30-boiler operating day average emissions
rate. (Note: For this calculation, the term Ehj in Equation
19-19 must be in the same units of measure as the applicable HCl or HF
emission limit in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart).
(2) For affected coal-fired or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGUs
that demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limits for
total non-mercury HAP metals, individual non-mercury HAP metals, total
HAP metals, individual HAP metals, or filterable PM listed in Table 1 or
2 to this subpart using initial performance testing and continuous
monitoring with PM CPMS:
(i) You must demonstrate initial compliance no later than the
applicable date specified in Sec. 63.9984(f) for existing EGUs and in
paragraph (g) of this section for new EGUs.
(ii) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with the PM CPMS
site-specific operating limit that corresponds to the results of the
performance test demonstrating compliance with the emission limit with
which you choose to comply.
(iii) You must repeat the performance test annually for the selected
pollutant emissions limit and reassess and adjust the site-specific
operating limit in accordance with the results of the performance test.
(3) For affected EGUs that are either required to or elect to
demonstrate initial compliance with the applicable Hg emission limit in
Table 1 or 2 of this subpart using Hg CEMS or sorbent trap monitoring
systems, initial compliance must be demonstrated no later than the
applicable date specified in Sec. 63.9984(f) for existing EGUs and in
paragraph (g) of this section for new EGUs. Initial compliance is
achieved if the arithmetic average of 30- (or 90-)
[[Page 168]]
boiler operating days of quality-assured CEMS (or sorbent trap
monitoring system) data, expressed in units of the standard (see section
6.2 of appendix A to this subpart), meets the applicable Hg emission
limit in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart.
(4) For affected liquid oil-fired EGUs that demonstrate compliance
with the applicable emission limits for HCl or HF listed in Table 1 or 2
to this subpart using quarterly testing and continuous monitoring with a
CMS:
(i) You must demonstrate initial compliance no later than the
applicable date specified in Sec. 63.9984(f) for existing EGUs and in
paragraph (g) of this section for new EGUs.
(ii) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with the CMS site-
specific operating limit that corresponds to the results of the
performance test demonstrating compliance with the HCl or HF emissions
limit.
(iii) You must repeat the performance test annually for the HCl or
HF emissions limit and reassess and adjust the site-specific operating
limit in accordance with the results of the performance test.
(e) Tune-ups. All affected EGUs are subject to the work practice
standards in Table 3 of this subpart. As part of your initial compliance
demonstration, you must conduct a performance tune-up of your EGU
according to Sec. 63.10021(e).
(f) For an existing EGU without a neural network, a tune-up,
following the procedures in Sec. 63.10021(e), must occur within 6
months (180 days) after April 16, 2015. For an existing EGU with a
neural network, a tune-up must occur within 18 months (545 days) after
April 16, 2016. If a tune-up occurs prior to April 16, 2015, you must
keep records showing that the tune-up met all rule requirements.
(g) If your new or reconstructed affected source commenced
construction or reconstruction between May 3, 2011, and July 2, 2011,
you must demonstrate initial compliance with either the proposed
emission limits or the promulgated emission limits no later than 180
days after April 16, 2012 or within 180 days after startup of the
source, whichever is later, according to Sec. 63.7(a)(2)(ix).
(1) For the new or reconstructed affected source described in this
paragraph (g), if you choose to comply with the proposed emission limits
when demonstrating initial compliance, you must conduct a second
compliance demonstration for the promulgated emission limits within 3
years after April 16, 2012 or within 3 years after startup of the
affected source, whichever is later.
(2) If your new or reconstructed affected source commences
construction or reconstruction after April 16, 2012, you must
demonstrate initial compliance with the promulgated emission limits no
later than 180 days after startup of the source.
(h) Low emitting EGUs. The provisions of this paragraph (h) apply to
pollutants with emissions limits from new EGUs except Hg and to all
pollutants with emissions limits from existing EGUs. You may pursue this
compliance option unless prohibited pursuant to Sec. 63.10000(c)(1)(i).
(1) An EGU may qualify for low emitting EGU (LEE) status for Hg,
HCl, HF, filterable PM, total non-Hg HAP metals, or individual non-Hg
HAP metals (or total HAP metals or individual HAP metals, for liquid
oil-fired EGUs) if you collect performance test data that meet the
requirements of this paragraph (h), and if those data demonstrate:
(i) For all pollutants except Hg, performance test emissions results
less than 50 percent of the applicable emissions limits in Table 1 or 2
to this subpart for all required testing for 3 consecutive years; or
(ii) For Hg emissions from an existing EGU, either:
(A) Average emissions less than 10 percent of the applicable Hg
emissions limit in Table 2 to this subpart (expressed either in units of
lb/TBtu or lb/GWh); or
(B) Potential Hg mass emissions of 29.0 or fewer pounds per year and
compliance with the applicable Hg emission limit in Table 2 to this
subpart (expressed either in units of lb/TBtu or lb/GWh).
(2) For all pollutants except Hg, you must conduct all required
performance
[[Page 169]]
tests described in Sec. 63.10007 to demonstrate that a unit qualifies
for LEE status.
(i) When conducting emissions testing to demonstrate LEE status, you
must increase the minimum sample volume specified in Table 1 or 2
nominally by a factor of two.
(ii) Follow the instructions in Sec. 63.10007(e) and Table 5 to
this subpart to convert the test data to the units of the applicable
standard.
(3) For Hg, you must conduct a 30- (or 90-) boiler operating day
performance test using Method 30B in appendix A-8 to part 60 of this
chapter to determine whether a unit qualifies for LEE status. Locate the
Method 30B sampling probe tip at a point within 10 percent of the duct
area centered about the duct's centroid at a location that meets Method
1 in appendix A-1 to part 60 of this chapter and conduct at least three
nominally equal length test runs over the 30- (or 90-) boiler operating
day test period. You may use a pair of sorbent traps to sample the stack
gas for a period consistent with that given in section 5.2.1 of appendix
A to this subpart. Collect Hg emissions data continuously over the
entire test period (except when changing sorbent traps or performing
required reference method QA procedures). As an alternative to constant
rate sampling per Method 30B, you may use proportional sampling per
section 8.2.2 of Performance Specification 12 B in appendix B to part 60
of this chapter.
(i) Depending on whether you intend to assess LEE status for Hg in
terms of the lb/TBtu or lb/GWh emission limit in Table 2 to this subpart
or in terms of the annual Hg mass emissions limit of 29.0 lb/year, you
will have to collect some or all of the following data during the 30-
boiler operating day test period (see paragraph (h)(3)(iii) of this
section):
(A) Diluent gas (CO2 or O2) data, using either
Method 3A in appendix A-3 to part 60 of this chapter or a diluent gas
monitor that has been certified according to part 75 of this chapter.
(B) Stack gas flow rate data, using either Method 2, 2F, or 2G in
appendices A-1 and A-2 to part 60 of this chapter, or a flow rate
monitor that has been certified according to part 75 of this chapter.
(C) Stack gas moisture content data, using either Method 4 in
appendix A-1 to part 60 of this chapter, or a moisture monitoring system
that has been certified according to part 75 of this chapter.
Alternatively, an appropriate fuel-specific default moisture value from
Sec. 75.11(b) of this chapter may be used in the calculations or you
may petition the Administrator under Sec. 75.66 of this chapter for use
of a default moisture value for non-coal-fired units.
(D) Hourly gross output data (megawatts), from facility records.
(ii) If you use CEMS to measure CO2 (or O2)
concentration, and/or flow rate, and/or moisture, record hourly average
values of each parameter throughout the 30-boiler operating day test
period. If you opt to use EPA reference methods rather than CEMS for any
parameter, you must perform at least one representative test run on each
operating day of the test period, using the applicable reference method.
(iii) Calculate the average Hg concentration, in [micro]g/m\3\ (dry
basis), for the 30- (or 90-) boiler operating day performance test, as
the arithmetic average of all Method 30B sorbent trap results. Also
calculate, as applicable, the average values of CO2 or
O2 concentration, stack gas flow rate, stack gas moisture
content, and gross output for the test period. Then:
(A) To express the test results in units of lb/TBtu, follow the
procedures in Sec. 63.10007(e). Use the average Hg concentration and
diluent gas values in the calculations.
(B) To express the test results in units of lb/GWh, use Equations A-
3 and A-4 in section 6.2.2 of appendix A to this subpart, replacing the
hourly values ``Ch'', ``Qh'', ``Bws''
and ``(MW)h'' with the average values of these parameters
from the performance test.
(C) To calculate pounds of Hg per year, use one of the following
methods:
(1) Multiply the average lb/TBtu Hg emission rate (determined
according to paragraph (h)(3)(iii)(A) of this section) by the maximum
potential annual heat input to the unit (TBtu), which is equal to the
maximum rated unit heat input
[[Page 170]]
(TBtu/hr) times 8,760 hours. If the maximum rated heat input value is
expressed in units of MMBtu/hr, multiply it by 10 -6 to
convert it to TBtu/hr; or
(2) Multiply the average lb/GWh Hg emission rate (determined
according to paragraph (h)(3)(iii)(B) of this section) by the maximum
potential annual electricity generation (GWh), which is equal to the
maximum rated electrical output of the unit (GW) times 8,760 hours. If
the maximum rated electrical output value is expressed in units of MW,
multiply it by 10 -3 to convert it to GW; or
(3) If an EGU has a federally-enforceable permit limit on either the
annual heat input or the number of annual operating hours, you may
modify the calculations in paragraph (h)(3)(iii)(C)(1) of this section
by replacing the maximum potential annual heat input or 8,760 unit
operating hours with the permit limit on annual heat input or operating
hours (as applicable).
(4) For a group of affected units that vent to a common stack, you
may either assess LEE status for the units individually by performing a
separate emission test of each unit in the duct leading from the unit to
the common stack, or you may perform a single emission test in the
common stack. If you choose the common stack testing option, the units
in the configuration qualify for LEE status if:
(i) The emission rate measured at the common stack is less than 50
percent (10 percent for Hg) of the applicable emission limit in Table 1
or 2 to this subpart; or
(ii) For Hg from an existing EGU, the applicable Hg emission limit
in Table 2 to this subpart is met and the potential annual mass
emissions, calculated according to paragraph (h)(3)(iii) of this section
(with some modifications), are less than or equal to 29.0 pounds times
the number of units sharing the common stack. Base your calculations on
the combined heat input capacity of all units sharing the stack (i.e.,
either the combined maximum rated value or, if applicable, a lower
combined value restricted by permit conditions or operating hours).
(5) For an affected unit with a multiple stack or duct configuration
in which the exhaust stacks or ducts are downstream of all emission
control devices, you must perform a separate emission test in each stack
or duct. The unit qualifies for LEE status if:
(i) The emission rate, based on all test runs performed at all of
the stacks or ducts, is less than 50 percent (10 percent for Hg) of the
applicable emission limit in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart; or
(ii) For Hg from an existing EGU, the applicable Hg emission limit
in Table 2 to this subpart is met and the potential annual mass
emissions, calculated according to paragraph (h)(3)(iii) of this
section, are less than or equal to 29.0 pounds. Use the average Hg
emission rate from paragraph (h)(5)(i) of this section in your
calculations.
(i) Liquid-oil fuel moisture measurement. If your EGU combusts
liquid fuels, if your fuel moisture content is no greater than 1.0
percent by weight, and if you would like to demonstrate initial and
ongoing compliance with HCl and HF emissions limits, you must meet the
requirements of paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) Measure fuel moisture content of each shipment of fuel if your
fuel arrives on a batch basis; or
(2) Measure fuel moisture content daily if your fuel arrives on a
continuous basis; or
(3) Obtain and maintain a fuel moisture certification from your fuel
supplier.
(4) Use one of the following methods to determine fuel moisture
content:
(i) ASTM D95-05 (Reapproved 2010), ``Standard Test Method for Water
in Petroleum Products and Bituminous Materials by Distillation,'' or
(ii) ASTM D4006-11, ``Standard Test Method for Water in Crude Oil by
Distillation,'' including Annex A1 and Appendix A1.
(5) Use one of the following methods to obtain fuel moisture
samples:
(i) ASTM D4177-95 (Reapproved 2010), ``Standard Practice for
Automatic Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products,'' including
Annexes A1 through A6 and Appendices X1 and X2, or
(ii) ASTM D4057-06 (Reapproved 2011), ``Standard Practice for Manual
Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products,'' including Annex A1.
[[Page 171]]
(6) Should the moisture in your liquid fuel be more than 1.0 percent
by weight, you must
(i) Conduct HCl and HF emissions testing quarterly (and monitor
site-specific operating parameters as provided in Sec.
63.10000(c)(2)(iii) or
(ii) Use an HCl CEMS and/or HF CEMS.
(j) Startup and shutdown for coal-fired or solid oil derived-fired
units. You must follow the requirements given in Table 3 to this
subpart.
(k) You must submit a Notification of Compliance Status summarizing
the results of your initial compliance demonstration, as provided in
Sec. 63.10030.

Sec. 63.10006 When must I conduct subsequent performance tests
or tune-ups?
(a) For liquid oil-fired, solid oil-derived fuel-fired and coal-
fired EGUs and IGCC units using PM CPMS to monitor continuous
performance with an applicable emission limit as provided for under
Sec. 63.10000(c), you must conduct all applicable performance tests
according to Table 5 to this subpart and Sec. 63.10007 at least every
year.
(b) For affected units meeting the LEE requirements of Sec.
63.10005(h), you must repeat the performance test once every 3 years
(once every year for Hg) according to Table 5 and Sec. 63.10007. Should
subsequent emissions testing results show the unit does not meet the LEE
eligibility requirements, LEE status is lost. If this should occur:
(1) For all pollutant emission limits except for Hg, you must
conduct emissions testing quarterly, except as otherwise provided in
Sec. 63.10021(d)(1).
(2) For Hg, you must install, certify, maintain, and operate a Hg
CEMS or a sorbent trap monitoring system in accordance with appendix A
to this subpart, within 6 calendar months of losing LEE eligibility.
Until the Hg CEMS or sorbent trap monitoring system is installed,
certified, and operating, you must conduct Hg emissions testing
quarterly, except as otherwise provided in Sec. 63.10021(d)(1). You
must have 3 calendar years of testing and CEMS or sorbent trap
monitoring system data that satisfy the LEE emissions criteria to
reestablish LEE status.
(c) Except where paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section apply, or
where you install, certify, and operate a PM CEMS to demonstrate
compliance with a filterable PM emissions limit, for liquid oil-, solid
oil-derived fuel-, coal-fired and IGCC EGUs, you must conduct all
applicable periodic emissions tests for filterable PM, individual, or
total HAP metals emissions according to Table 5 to this subpart, Sec.
63.10007, and Sec. 63.10000(c), except as otherwise provided in Sec.
63.10021(d)(1).
(d) Except where paragraph (b) of this section applies, for solid
oil-derived fuel- and coal-fired EGUs that do not use either an HCl CEMS
to monitor compliance with the HCl limit or an SO2 CEMS to
monitor compliance with the alternate equivalent SO2 emission
limit, you must conduct all applicable periodic HCl emissions tests
according to Table 5 to this subpart and Sec. 63.10007 at least
quarterly, except as otherwise provided in Sec. 63.10021(d)(1).
(e) Except where paragraph (b) of this section applies, for liquid
oil-fired EGUs without HCl CEMS, HF CEMS, or HCl and HF CEMS, you must
conduct all applicable emissions tests for HCl, HF, or HCl and HF
emissions according to Table 5 to this subpart and Sec. 63.10007 at
least quarterly, except as otherwise provided in Sec. 63.10021(d)(1),
and conduct site-specific monitoring under a plan as provided for in
Sec. 63.10000(c)(2)(iii).
(f) Time between performance tests. (1) Notwithstanding the
provisions of Sec. 63.10021(d)(1), the requirements listed in
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this section, and the requirements of
paragraph (f)(3) of this section, you must complete performance tests
for your EGU as follows:
(i) At least 45 calendar days, measured from the test's end date,
must separate performance tests conducted every quarter;
(ii) For annual testing:
(A) At least 320 calendar days, measured from the test's end date,
must separate performance tests;
(B) At least 320 calendar days, measured from the test's end date,
must separate annual sorbent trap mercury
[[Page 172]]
testing for 30-boiler operating day LEE tests;
(C) At least 230 calendar days, measured from the test's end date,
must separate annual sorbent trap mercury testing for 90-boiler
operating day LEE tests; and
(iii) At least 1,050 calendar days, measured from the test's end
date, must separate performance tests conducted every 3 years.
(2) For units demonstrating compliance through quarterly emission
testing, you must conduct a performance test in the 4th quarter of a
calendar year if your EGU has skipped performance tests in the first 3
quarters of the calendar year.
(3) If your EGU misses a performance test deadline due to being
inoperative and if 168 or more boiler operating hours occur in the next
test period, you must complete an additional performance test in that
period as follows:
(i) At least 15 calendar days must separate two performance tests
conducted in the same quarter.
(ii) At least 107 calendar days must separate two performance tests
conducted in the same calendar year.
(iii) At least 350 calendar days must separate two performance tests
conducted in the same 3 year period.
(g) If you elect to demonstrate compliance using emissions averaging
under Sec. 63.10009, you must continue to conduct performance stack
tests at the appropriate frequency given in section (c) through (f) of
this section.
(h) If a performance test on a non-mercury LEE shows emissions in
excess of 50 percent of the emission limit and if you choose to reapply
for LEE status, you must conduct performance tests at the appropriate
frequency given in section (c) through (e) of this section for that
pollutant until all performance tests over a consecutive 3-year period
show compliance with the LEE criteria.
(i) If you are required to meet an applicable tune-up work practice
standard, you must conduct a performance tune-up according to Sec.
63.10021(e).
(1) For EGUs not employing neural network combustion optimization
during normal operation, each performance tune-up specified in Sec.
63.10021(e) must be no more than 36 calendar months after the previous
performance tune-up.
(2) For EGUs employing neural network combustion optimization
systems during normal operation, each performance tune-up specified in
Sec. 63.10021(e) must be no more than 48 calendar months after the
previous performance tune-up.
[77 FR 9464, Feb. 16, 2012, as amended at 77 FR 23403, Apr. 19, 2012; 78
FR 24085, Apr. 24, 2013; 81 FR 20182, Apr. 6, 2016]
Sec. 63.10007 What methods and other procedures must I use for
the performance tests?
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, you must conduct
all required performance tests according to Sec. 63.7(d), (e), (f), and
(h). You must also develop a site-specific test plan according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.7(c).
(1) If you use CEMS (Hg, HCl, SO2, or other) to determine
compliance with a 30- (or, if applicable, 90-) boiler operating day
rolling average emission limit, you must collect quality- assured CEMS
data for all unit operating conditions, including startup and shutdown
(see Sec. 63.10011(g) and Table 3 to this subpart), except as otherwise
provided in Sec. 63.10020(b). Emission rates determined during startup
periods and shutdown periods (as defined in Sec. 63.10042) are not to
be included in the compliance determinations, except as otherwise
provided in Sec. Sec. 63.10000(c)(1)(vi)(B) and 63.10005(a)(2)(iii).
(2) If you conduct performance testing with test methods in lieu of
continuous monitoring, operate the unit at maximum normal operating load
conditions during each periodic (e.g., quarterly) performance test.
Maximum normal operating load will be generally between 90 and 110
percent of design capacity but should be representative of site specific
normal operations during each test run.
(3) For establishing operating limits with particulate matter
continuous parametric monitoring system (PM CPMS) to demonstrate
compliance with a PM or non Hg metals emissions limit, operate the unit
at maximum normal operating load conditions during the performance test
period. Maximum normal operating load will be
[[Page 173]]
generally between 90 and 110 percent of design capacity but should be
representative of site specific normal operations during each test run.
(b) You must conduct each performance test (including traditional 3-
run stack tests, 30-boiler operating day tests based on CEMS data (or
sorbent trap monitoring system data), and 30-boiler operating day Hg
emission tests for LEE qualification) according to the requirements in
Table 5 to this subpart.
(c) If you choose the filterable PM method to comply with the PM
emission limit and demonstrate continuous performance using a PM CPMS as
provided for in Sec. 63.10000(c), you must also establish an operating
limit according to Sec. 63.10011(b), Sec. 63.10023, and Tables 4 and 6
to this subpart. Should you desire to have operating limits that
correspond to loads other than maximum normal operating load, you must
conduct testing at those other loads to determine the additional
operating limits.
(d) Except for a 30-boiler operating day performance test based on
CEMS (or sorbent trap monitoring system) data, where the concept of test
runs does not apply, you must conduct a minimum of three separate test
runs for each performance test, as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(3). Each
test run must comply with the minimum applicable sampling time or volume
specified in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart. Sections 63.10005(d) and (h),
respectively, provide special instructions for conducting performance
tests based on CEMS or sorbent trap monitoring systems, and for
conducting emission tests for LEE qualification.
(e) To use the results of performance testing to determine
compliance with the applicable emission limits in Table 1 or 2 to this
subpart, proceed as follows:
(1) Except for a 30-boiler operating day performance test based on
CEMS (or sorbent trap monitoring system) data, if measurement results
for any pollutant are reported as below the method detection level
(e.g., laboratory analytical results for one or more sample components
are below the method defined analytical detection level), you must use
the method detection level as the measured emissions level for that
pollutant in calculating compliance. The measured result for a multiple
component analysis (e.g., analytical values for multiple Method 29
fractions both for individual HAP metals and for total HAP metals) may
include a combination of method detection level data and analytical data
reported above the method detection level.
(2) If the limits are expressed in lb/MMBtu or lb/TBtu, you must use
the F-factor methodology and equations in sections 12.2 and 12.3 of EPA
Method 19 in appendix A-7 to part 60 of this chapter. In cases where an
appropriate F-factor is not listed in Table 19-2 of Method 19, you may
use F-factors from Table 1 in section 3.3.5 of appendix F to part 75 of
this chapter, or F-factors derived using the procedures in section 3.3.6
of appendix to part 75 of this chapter. Use the following factors to
convert the pollutant concentrations measured during the initial
performance tests to units of lb/scf, for use in the applicable Method
19 equations:
(i) Multiply SO2 ppm by 1.66 x 10-7;
(ii) Multiply HCl ppm by 9.43 x 10-8;
(iii) Multiply HF ppm by 5.18 x 10-8;
(iv) Multiply HAP metals concentrations (mg/dscm) by 6.24 x
10-8; and
(v) Multiply Hg concentrations ([micro]g/scm) by 6.24 x
10-11.
(3) To determine compliance with emission limits expressed in lb/MWh
or lb/GWh, you must first calculate the pollutant mass emission rate
during the performance test, in units of lb/h. For Hg, if a CEMS or
sorbent trap monitoring system is used, use Equation A-2 or A-3 in
appendix A to this subpart (as applicable). In all other cases, use an
equation that has the general form of Equation A-2 or A-3, replacing the
value of K with 1.66 x 10-7 lb/scf-ppm for SO2,
9.43 x 10-8 lb/scf-ppm for HCl (if an HCl CEMS is used), 5.18
x 10-8 lb/scf-ppm for HF (if an HF CEMS is used), or 6.24 x
10-8 lb-scm/mg-scf for HAP metals and for HCl and HF (when
performance stack testing is used), and defining Ch as the
average SO2, HCl, or HF concentration in ppm, or the average
HAP metals concentration in mg/dscm. This calculation requires stack gas
volumetric flow rate (scfh) and (in some cases) moisture content data
(see
[[Page 174]]
Sec. Sec. 63.10005(h)(3) and 63.10010). Then, if the applicable
emission limit is in units of lb/GWh, use Equation A-4 in appendix A to
this subpart to calculate the pollutant emission rate in lb/GWh. In this
calculation, define (M)h as the calculated pollutant mass
emission rate for the performance test (lb/h), and define
(MW)h as the average electrical load during the performance
test (megawatts). If the applicable emission limit is in lb/MWh rather
than lb/GWh, omit the 10\3\ term from Equation A-4 to determine the
pollutant emission rate in lb/MWh.
(f) If you elect to (or are required to) use CEMS to continuously
monitor Hg, HCl, HF, SO2, or PM emissions (or, if applicable,
sorbent trap monitoring systems to continuously collect Hg emissions
data), the following default values are available for use in the
emission rate calculations during startup periods or shutdown periods
(as defined in Sec. 63.10042). For the purposes of this subpart, these
default values are not considered to be substitute data.
(1) Diluent cap values. If you use CEMS (or, if applicable, sorbent
trap monitoring systems) to comply with a heat input-based emission rate
limit, you may use the following diluent cap values for a startup or
shutdown hour in which the measured CO2 concentration is
below the cap value or the measured O2 concentration is above
the cap value:
(i) For an IGCC EGU, you may use 1% for CO2 or 19% for
O2.
(ii) For all other EGUs, you may use 5% for CO2 or 14%
for O2.
(2) Default gross output. If you use CEMS to continuously monitor
Hg, HCl, HF, SO2, or PM emissions (or, if applicable, sorbent
trap monitoring systems to continuously collect Hg emissions data), the
following default value is available for use in the emission rate
calculations during startup periods or shutdown periods (as defined in
Sec. 63.10042). For the purposes of this subpart, this default value is
not considered to be substitute data. For a startup or shutdown hour in
which there is heat input to an affected EGU but zero gross output, you
must calculate the pollutant emission rate using a value equivalent to
5% of the maximum sustainable gross output, expressed in megawatts, as
defined in section 6.5.2.1(a)(1) of appendix A to part 75 of this
chapter. This default gross output is either the nameplate capacity of
the EGU or the highest gross output observed in at least four
representative quarters of EGU operation. For a monitored common stack,
the default gross output is used only when all EGUs are operating (i.e.,
combusting fuel) are in startup or shutdown mode, and have zero
electrical generation. Under those conditions, a default gross output
equal to 5% of the combined maximum sustainable gross output of the EGUs
that are operating but have a total of zero gross output must be used to
calculate the hourly gross output-based pollutant emissions rate.
(g) Upon request, you shall make available to the EPA Administrator
such records as may be necessary to determine whether the performance
tests have been done according to the requirements of this section.

Sec. 63.10008 [Reserved]
Sec. 63.10009 May I use emissions averaging to comply with
this subpart?
(a) General eligibility. (1) You may use emissions averaging as
described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section as an alternative to
meeting the requirements of Sec. 63.9991 for filterable PM,
SO2, HF, HCl, non-Hg HAP metals, or Hg on an EGU-specific
basis if:
(i) You have more than one existing EGU in the same subcategory
located at one or more contiguous properties, belonging to a single
major industrial grouping, which are under common control of the same
person (or persons under common control); and
(ii) You use CEMS (or sorbent trap monitoring systems for
determining Hg emissions) or quarterly emissions testing for
demonstrating compliance.
(2) You may demonstrate compliance by emissions averaging among the
existing EGUs in the same subcategory, if your averaged Hg emissions for
EGUs in the ``unit designed for coal =8,300 Btu/lb''
subcategory are equal to or less than 1.2 lb/TBtu or 1.3E-2 lb/GWh
[[Page 175]]
on a 30-boiler operating day basis or if your averaged emissions of
individual, other pollutants from other subcategories of such EGUs are
equal to or less than the applicable emissions limit in Table 2 to this
subpart, according to the procedures in this section. Note that except
for the alternate Hg emissions limit from EGUs in the ``unit designed
for coal =8,300 Btu/lb'' subcategory, the averaging time for
emissions averaging for pollutants is 30 days (rolling daily) using data
from CEMS or a combination of data from CEMS and manual performance
(LEE) testing. The averaging time for emissions averaging for the
alternate Hg limit (equal to or less than 1.0 lb/TBtu or 1.1E-2 lb/GWh)
from EGUs in the ``unit designed for coal =8,300 Btu/lb''
subcategory is 90-boiler operating days (rolling daily) using data from
CEMS, sorbent trap monitoring, or a combination of monitoring data and
data from manual performance (LEE) testing. For the purposes of this
paragraph, 30- (or 90-) group boiler operating days is defined as a
period during which at least one unit in the emissions averaging group
operates on each of the 30 or 90 days. You must calculate the weighted
average emissions rate for the group in accordance with the procedures
in this paragraph using the data from all units in the group including
any that operate fewer than 30 (or 90) days during the preceding 30 (or
90) group boiler days.
(i) You may choose to have your EGU emissions averaging group meet
either the heat input basis (MMBtu or TBtu, as appropriate for the
pollutant) or gross output basis (MWh or GWh, as appropriate for the
pollutant).
(ii) You may not mix bases within your EGU emissions averaging
group.
(iii) You may use emissions averaging for affected units in
different subcategories if the units vent to the atmosphere through a
common stack (see paragraph (m) of this section).
(b) Equations. Use the following equations when performing
calculations for your EGU emissions averaging group:

(c) Separate stack requirements. For a group of two or more existing
EGUs in the same subcategory that each vent to a separate stack, you may
average filterable PM, SO2, HF, HCl, non-Hg HAP metals, or Hg
emissions to demonstrate compliance with the limits in Table 2 to this
subpart if you satisfy the requirements in paragraphs (d) through (j) of
this section.
(d) For each existing EGU in the averaging group:
(1) The emissions rate achieved during the initial performance test
for the HAP being averaged must not exceed the emissions level that was
being achieved 180 days after April 16, 2015, or the date on which
emissions testing done to support your emissions averaging plan is
complete (if the Administrator does not require submission and approval
of your emissions averaging plan), or the date that you begin emissions
averaging, whichever is earlier; or
(2) The control technology employed during the initial performance
test must not be less than the design efficiency of the emissions
control technology employed 180 days after April 16, 2015 or the date
that you begin emissions averaging, whichever is earlier.
(e) The weighted-average emissions rate from the existing EGUs
participating in the emissions averaging option must be in compliance
with the limits in Table 2 to this subpart at all times following the
date that you begin emissions averaging.
(f) Emissions averaging group eligibility demonstration. You must
demonstrate the ability for the EGUs included in the emissions averaging
group to demonstrate initial compliance according to paragraph (f)(1) or
(2) of this section using the maximum rated heat input or gross output
over a 30- (or 90-) boiler operating day period of each EGU and the
results of the initial performance tests. For this demonstration and
prior to preparing your emissions averaging plan, you must conduct
required emissions monitoring for 30- (or 90-) days of boiler operation
and any required manual performance testing to calculate maximum
weighted average emissions rate in accordance with this section. If,
before the start of your initial compliance demonstration, the
Administrator becomes aware that you intend to use emissions averaging
for that demonstration, or if your initial Notification of Compliance
[[Page 178]]
Status (NOCS) indicates that you intend to implement emissions averaging
at a future date, the Administrator may require you to submit your
proposed emissions averaging plan and supporting data for approval. If
the Administrator requires approval of your plan, you may not begin
using emissions averaging until the Administrator approves your plan.
(1) You must use Equation 1a in paragraph (b) of this section to
demonstrate that the maximum weighted average emissions rates of
filterable PM, HF, SO2, HCl, non-Hg HAP metals, or Hg
emissions from the existing units participating in the emissions
averaging option do not exceed the emissions limits in Table 2 to this
subpart.
(2) If you are not capable of monitoring heat input or gross output,
and the EGU generates steam for purposes other than generating
electricity, you may use Equation 1b of paragraph (b) of this section as
an alternative to using Equation 1a of paragraph (b) of this section to
demonstrate that the maximum weighted average emissions rates of
filterable PM, HF, SO2, HCl, non-Hg HAP metals, or Hg
emissions from the existing units participating in the emissions
averaging group do not exceed the emission limits in Table 2 to this
subpart.
(g) You must determine the weighted average emissions rate in units
of the applicable emissions limit on a 30 group boiler operating day
rolling average basis (or, if applicable, on a 90 group boiler operating
day rolling average basis for Hg) according to paragraphs (g)(1) and (2)
of this section. The first averaging period ends on the 30th (or, if
applicable, 90th for the alternate Hg emission limit) group boiler
operating day after the date that you begin emissions averaging.
(1) You must use Equation 2a or 3a of paragraph (b) of this section
to calculate the weighted average emissions rate using the actual heat
input or gross output for each existing unit participating in the
emissions averaging option.
(2) If you are not capable of monitoring heat input or gross output,
you may use Equation 2b or 3b of paragraph (b) of this section as an
alternative to using Equation 2a of paragraph (b) of this section to
calculate the average weighted emission rate using the actual steam
generation from the units participating in the emissions averaging
option.
(h) CEMS (or sorbent trap monitoring) use. If an EGU in your
emissions averaging group uses CEMS (or a sorbent trap monitor for Hg
emissions) to demonstrate compliance, you must use those data to
determine the 30 (or 90) group boiler operating day rolling average
emissions rate.
(i) Emissions testing. If you use manual emissions testing to
demonstrate compliance for one or more EGUs in your emissions averaging
group, you must use the results from the most recent performance test to
determine the 30 (or 90) day rolling average. You may use CEMS or
sorbent trap data in combination with data from the most recent manual
performance test in calculating the 30 (or 90) group boiler operating
day rolling average emissions rate.
(j) Emissions averaging plan. You must develop an implementation
plan for emissions averaging according to the following procedures and
requirements in paragraphs (j)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) You must include the information contained in paragraphs
(j)(1)(i) through (v) of this section in your implementation plan for
all the emissions units included in an emissions averaging:
(i) The identification of all existing EGUs in the emissions
averaging group, including for each either the applicable HAP emission
level or the control technology installed as of 180 days after February
16, 2015, or the date on which you complete the emissions measurements
used to support your emissions averaging plan (if the Administrator does
not require submission and approval of your emissions averaging plan),
or the date that you begin emissions averaging, whichever is earlier;
and the date on which you are requesting emissions averaging to
commence;
(ii) The process weighting parameter (heat input, gross output, or
steam generated) that will be monitored for each averaging group;
[[Page 179]]
(iii) The specific control technology or pollution prevention
measure to be used for each emission EGU in the averaging group and the
date of its installation or application. If the pollution prevention
measure reduces or eliminates emissions from multiple EGUs, you must
identify each EGU;
(iv) The means of measurement (e.g., CEMS, sorbent trap monitoring,
manual performance test) of filterable PM, SO2, HF, HCl,
individual or total non-Hg HAP metals, or Hg emissions in accordance
with the requirements in Sec. 63.10007 and to be used in the emissions
averaging calculations; and
(v) A demonstration that emissions averaging can produce compliance
with each of the applicable emission limit(s) in accordance with
paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
(2) If, as described in paragraph (f) of this section, the
Administrator requests you to submit the averaging plan for review and
approval, you must receive approval before initiating emissions
averaging.
(i) The Administrator shall use following criteria in reviewing and
approving or disapproving the plan:
(A) Whether the content of the plan includes all of the information
specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this section; and
(B) Whether the plan presents information sufficient to determine
that compliance will be achieved and maintained.
(ii) The Administrator shall not approve an emissions averaging
implementation plan containing any of the following provisions:
(A) Any averaging between emissions of different pollutants or
between units located at different facilities; or
(B) The inclusion of any emissions unit other than an existing unit
in the same subcategory.
(k) Common stack requirements. For a group of two or more existing
affected units, each of which vents through a single common stack, you
may average emissions to demonstrate compliance with the limits in Table
2 to this subpart if you satisfy the requirements in paragraph (l) or
(m) of this section.
(l) For a group of two or more existing units in the same
subcategory and which vent through a common emissions control system to
a common stack that does not receive emissions from units in other
subcategories or categories, you may treat such averaging group as a
single existing unit for purposes of this subpart and comply with the
requirements of this subpart as if the group were a single unit.
(m) For all other groups of units subject to paragraph (k) of this
section, you may elect to conduct manual performance tests according to
procedures specified in Sec. 63.10007 in the common stack. If emissions
from affected units included in the emissions averaging and from other
units not included in the emissions averaging (e.g., in a different
subcategory) or other nonaffected units all vent to the common stack,
you must shut down the units not included in the emissions averaging and
the nonaffected units or vent their emissions to a different stack
during the performance test. Alternatively, you may conduct a
performance test of the combined emissions in the common stack with all
units operating and show that the combined emissions meet the most
stringent emissions limit. You may also use a CEMS or sorbent trap
monitoring to apply this latter alternative to demonstrate that the
combined emissions comply with the most stringent emissions limit on a
continuous basis.
(n) Combination requirements. The common stack of a group of two or
more existing EGUs in the same subcategory subject to paragraph (k) of
this section may be treated as a single stack for purposes of paragraph
(c) of this section and included in an emissions averaging group subject
to paragraph (c) of this section.

FR 24085, Apr. 24, 2013; 81 FR 20183, Apr. 6, 2016]
Sec. 63.10010 What are my monitoring, installation, operation,
and maintenance requirements?
(a) Flue gases from the affected units under this subpart exhaust to
the atmosphere through a variety of different configurations, including
but not limited to individual stacks, a common stack configuration or a
main stack plus a bypass stack. For the CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap
monitoring
[[Page 180]]
systems used to provide data under this subpart, the continuous
monitoring system installation requirements for these exhaust
configurations are as follows:
(1) Single unit-single stack configurations. For an affected unit
that exhausts to the atmosphere through a single, dedicated stack, you
shall either install the required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap
monitoring systems in the stack or at a location in the ductwork
downstream of all emissions control devices, where the pollutant and
diluents concentrations are representative of the emissions that exit to
the atmosphere.
(2) Unit utilizing common stack with other affected unit(s). When an
affected unit utilizes a common stack with one or more other affected
units, but no non-affected units, you shall either:
(i) Install the required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring
systems in the duct leading to the common stack from each unit; or
(ii) Install the required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring
systems in the common stack.
(3) Unit(s) utilizing common stack with non-affected unit(s). (i)
When one or more affected units shares a common stack with one or more
non-affected units, you shall either:
(A) Install the required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring
systems in the ducts leading to the common stack from each affected
unit; or
(B) Install the required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring
systems described in this section in the common stack and attribute all
of the emissions measured at the common stack to the affected unit(s).
(ii) If you choose the common stack monitoring option:
(A) For each hour in which valid data are obtained for all
parameters, you must calculate the pollutant emission rate and
(B) You must assign the calculated pollutant emission rate to each
unit that shares the common stack.
(4) Unit with a main stack and a bypass stack that exhausts to the
atmosphere independent of the main stack. If the exhaust configuration
of an affected unit consists of a main stack and a bypass stack, you
shall install CEMS on both the main stack and the bypass stack. If it is
not feasible to certify and quality-assure the data from a monitoring
system on the bypass stack, you shall:
(i) Route the exhaust from the bypass through the main stack and its
monitoring so that bypass emissions are measured; or
(ii) Install a CEMS only on the main stack and count hours that the
bypass stack is in use as hours of deviation from the monitoring
requirements.
(5) Unit with a common control device with multiple stack or duct
configuration. If the flue gases from an affected unit, which is
configured such that emissions are controlled with a common control
device or series of control devices, are discharged to the atmosphere
through more than one stack or are fed into a single stack through two
or more ducts, you may:
(i) Install required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring
systems in each of the multiple stacks;
(ii) Install required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring
systems in each of the ducts that feed into the stack;
(iii) Install required CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring
systems in one of the multiple stacks or ducts and monitor the flows and
dilution rates in all multiple stacks or ducts in order to determine
total exhaust gas flow rate and pollutant mass emissions rate in
accordance with the applicable limit; or
(iv) In the case of multiple ducts feeding into a single stack,
install CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring systems in the single
stack as described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(6) Unit with multiple parallel control devices with multiple
stacks. If the flue gases from an affected unit, which is configured
such that emissions are controlled with multiple parallel control
devices or multiple series of control devices are discharged to the
atmosphere through more than one stack, you shall install the required
CEMS, PM CPMS, and sorbent trap monitoring systems described in each of
the multiple stacks. You shall calculate hourly flow-weighted average
pollutant emission rates for the unit as follows:
[[Page 181]]
(i) Calculate the pollutant emission rate at each stack or duct for
each hour in which valid data are obtained for all parameters;
(ii) Multiply each calculated hourly pollutant emission rate at each
stack or duct by the corresponding hourly stack gas flow rate at that
stack or duct;
(iii) Sum the products determined under paragraph (a)(6)(ii) of this
section; and
(iv) Divide the result obtained in paragraph (a)(6)(iii) of this
section by the total hourly stack gas flow rate for the unit, summed
across all of the stacks or ducts.
(b) If you use an oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide
(CO2) CEMS to convert measured pollutant concentrations to
the units of the applicable emissions limit, the O2 or
CO2 concentrations shall be monitored at a location that
represents emissions to the atmosphere, i.e., at the outlet of the EGU,
downstream of all emission control devices. You must install, certify,
maintain, and operate the CEMS according to part 75 of this chapter. Use
only quality-assured O2 or CO2 data in the
emissions calculations; do not use part 75 substitute data values.
(c) If you are required to use a stack gas flow rate monitor, either
for routine operation of a sorbent trap monitoring system or to convert
pollutant concentrations to units of an electrical output-based emission
standard in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart, you must install, certify,
operate, and maintain the monitoring system and conduct on-going
quality-assurance testing of the system according to part 75 of this
chapter. Use only unadjusted, quality-assured flow rate data in the
emissions calculations. Do not apply bias adjustment factors to the flow
rate data and do not use substitute flow rate data in the calculations.
(d) If you are required to make corrections for stack gas moisture
content when converting pollutant concentrations to the units of an
emission standard in Table 1 of 2 to this subpart, you must install,
certify, operate, and maintain a moisture monitoring system in
accordance with part 75 of this chapter. Alternatively, for coal-fired
units, you may use appropriate fuel-specific default moisture values
from Sec. 75.11(b) of this chapter to estimate the moisture content of
the stack gas or you may petition the Administrator under Sec. 75.66 of
this chapter for use of a default moisture value for non-coal-fired
units. If you install and operate a moisture monitoring system, do not
use substitute moisture data in the emissions calculations.
(e) If you use an HCl and/or HF CEMS, you must install, certify,
operate, maintain, and quality-assure the data from the monitoring
system in accordance with appendix B to this subpart. Calculate and
record a 30-boiler operating day rolling average HCl or HF emission rate
in the units of the standard, updated after each new boiler operating
day. Each 30-boiler operating day rolling average emission rate is the
average of all the valid hourly HCl or HF emission rates in the
preceding 30 boiler operating days (see section 9.4 of appendix B to
this subpart).
(f)(1) If you use an SO2 CEMS, you must install the
monitor at the outlet of the EGU, downstream of all emission control
devices, and you must certify, operate, and maintain the CEMS according
to part 75 of this chapter.
(2) For on-going QA, the SO2 CEMS must meet the
applicable daily, quarterly, and semiannual or annual requirements in
sections 2.1 through 2.3 of appendix B to part 75 of this chapter, with
the following addition: You must perform the linearity checks required
in section 2.2 of appendix B to part 75 of this chapter if the
SO2 CEMS has a span value of 30 ppm or less.
(3) Calculate and record a 30-boiler operating day rolling average
SO2 emission rate in the units of the standard, updated after
each new boiler operating day. Each 30-boiler operating day rolling
average emission rate is the average of all of the valid hourly
SO2 emission rates in the 30 boiler operating day period.
(4) Use only unadjusted, quality-assured SO2
concentration values in the emissions calculations; do not apply bias
adjustment factors to the part 75 SO2 data and do not use
part 75 substitute data values. For startup or shutdown hours (as
defined in Sec. 63.10042) the default gross output and the diluent cap
are available for use in the
[[Page 182]]
hourly SO2 emission rate calculations, as described in Sec.
63.10007(f). Use a flag to identify each startup or shutdown hour and
report a special code if the diluent cap or default gross output is used
to calculate the SO2 emission rate for any of these hours.
(g) If you use a Hg CEMS or a sorbent trap monitoring system, you
must install, certify, operate, maintain and quality-assure the data
from the monitoring system in accordance with appendix A to this
subpart. You must calculate and record a 30- (or, if alternate emissions
averaging is used, 90-) boiler operating day rolling average Hg emission
rate, in units of the standard, updated after each new boiler operating
day. Each 30- (or, if alternate emissions averaging is used, 90-) boiler
operating day rolling average emission rate, calculated according to
section 6.2 of appendix A to the subpart, is the average of all of the
valid hourly Hg emission rates in the preceding 30- (or, if alternate
emissions averaging is used, a 90-) boiler operating days. Section
7.1.4.3 of appendix A to this subpart explains how to reduce sorbent
trap monitoring system data to an hourly basis.

(a) You must demonstrate initial compliance with each emissions
limit that applies to you by conducting performance testing.
(b) If you are subject to an operating limit in Table 4 to this
subpart, you demonstrate initial compliance with HAP metals or
filterable PM emission limit(s) through performance stack tests and you
elect to use a PM CPMS to demonstrate continuous performance, or if, for
a liquid oil-fired EGU, and you use quarterly stack testing for HCl and
HF plus site-specific parameter monitoring to demonstrate continuous
performance, you must also establish a site-specific operating limit, in
accordance with Sec. 63.10007 and Table 6 to this subpart. You may use
only the parametric data recorded during successful performance tests
(i.e., tests that demonstrate compliance with the applicable emissions
limits) to establish an operating limit.
(c)(1) If you use CEMS or sorbent trap monitoring systems to measure
a HAP (e.g., Hg or HCl) directly, the initial performance test, shall
consist of a 30-boiler operating day (or, for certain coal-fired,
existing EGUs that use emissions averaging for Hg, a 90-boiler operating
day) rolling average emissions rate obtained with a certified CEMS or
sorbent trap system, expressed in units of the standard. If the
monitoring system is certified prior to the applicable compliance date,
the initial averaging period shall either begin with: The first boiler
operating day on or after the compliance date; or 30 (or, if applicable,
90) boiler operating days prior to that date, as described in Sec.
63.10005(b). In all cases, the initial 30- or 90-boiler operating day
averaging period must be completed on or before the date that compliance
must be demonstrated, in accordance with Sec. 63.9984(f). Initial
compliance is demonstrated if the results of the performance test meet
the applicable emission limit in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart.
(2) For an EGU that uses a CEMS to measure SO2 or PM
emissions for initial compliance, the initial performance test shall
consist of a 30-boiler operating day average emission rate obtained with
certified CEMS, expressed in units of the standard. If the monitoring
system is certified prior to the applicable compliance date, the initial
averaging period shall either begin with: The first boiler operating day
on or after the compliance date; or 30 boiler operating days prior to
that date, as described in Sec. 63.10005(b). In all cases, the initial
30- boiler operating day averaging period must be completed on or before
the date that compliance must be demonstrated, in accordance with Sec.
63.9984(f). Initial compliance is demonstrated if the results of the
performance test meet the applicable SO2 or PM emission limit
in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart.
(d) For candidate LEE units, use the results of the performance
testing described in Sec. 63.10005(h) to determine initial compliance
with the applicable
[[Page 186]]
emission limit(s) in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart and to determine
whether the unit qualifies for LEE status.
(e) You must submit a Notification of Compliance Status containing
the results of the initial compliance demonstration, in accordance with
Sec. 63.10030(e).
(f)(1) You must determine the fuel whose combustion produces the
least uncontrolled emissions, i.e., the cleanest fuel, either natural
gas or distillate oil, that is available on site or accessible nearby
for use during periods of startup or shutdown.
(2) Your cleanest fuel, either natural gas or distillate oil, for
use during periods of startup or shutdown determination may take safety
considerations into account.
(g) You must follow the startup or shutdown requirements as
established in Table 3 to this subpart for each coal-fired, liquid oil-
fired, or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU.

emission rates, and record data during startup periods or shutdown
periods.
(3) You must report the information as required in Sec. 63.10031.
(4) If you choose to use paragraph (2) of the definition of
``startup'' in Sec. 63.10042 and you find that you are unable to safely
engage and operate your particulate matter (PM) control(s) within 1 hour
of first firing of coal, residual oil, or solid oil-derived fuel, you
may choose to rely on paragraph (1) of definition of ``startup'' in
Sec. 63.10042 or you may submit a request to use an alternative non-
opacity emissions standard, as described below.
(i) As mentioned in Sec. 63.6(g)(1), your request will be published
in the Federal Register for notice and comment rulemaking. Until
promulgation in the Federal Register of the final alternative non-
opacity emission standard, you shall comply with paragraph (1) of the
definition of ``startup'' in Sec. 63.10042. You shall not implement the
alternative non-opacity emissions standard until promulgation in the
Federal Register of the final alternative non-opacity emission standard.
(ii) Your request need not address the items contained in Sec.
63.6(g)(2).
(iii) Your request shall provide evidence of a documented
manufacturer-identified safety issue.
(iv) Your request shall provide information to document that the PM
control device is adequately designed and sized to meet the PM emission
limit applicable to the EGU.
(v) In addition, your request shall contain documentation that:
(A) Your EGU is using clean fuels to the maximum extent possible,
taking into account considerations such as not compromising boiler or
control device integrity, to bring your EGU and PM control device up to
the temperature necessary to alleviate or prevent the identified safety
issues prior to the combustion of primary fuel in your EGU;

emission limitations, operating limits, and work practice standards?
(a) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each emissions
limit, operating limit, and work practice standard in Tables 1 through 4
to this subpart that applies to you, according to the monitoring
specified in Tables 6 and 7 to this subpart and paragraphs (b) through
(g) of this section.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Sec. 63.10020(c), if you use a
CEMS to measure SO2, PM, HCl, HF, or Hg emissions, or using a
sorbent trap monitoring system to measure Hg emissions, you must
demonstrate continuous compliance by using all quality-assured hourly
data recorded by the CEMS (or sorbent trap monitoring system) and the
other required monitoring systems (e.g., flow rate, CO2,
O2, or moisture systems) to calculate the arithmetic average
emissions rate in units of the standard on a continuous 30-boiler
operating day (or, if alternate emissions averaging is used for Hg, 90-
boiler operating day) rolling average basis, updated at the end of each
new boiler operating day. Use Equation 8 to determine the 30- (or, if
applicable, 90-) boiler operating day rolling average.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR19AP12.002
Where:
Heri is the hourly emissions rate for hour i and n is the
number of hourly emissions rate values collected over 30- (or,
if applicable, 90-) boiler operating days.
(c) If you use a PM CPMS data to measure compliance with an
operating limit in Table 4 to this subpart, you must record the PM CPMS
output data for all periods when the process is operating and the PM
CPMS is not out-of-control. You must demonstrate continuous compliance
by using all quality-assured hourly average data collected by the PM
CPMS for all operating hours to calculate the arithmetic average
operating parameter in units of the operating limit (e.g., milliamps, PM
concentration, raw data signal) on a 30 operating day rolling average
basis, updated at the end of each new boiler operating day. Use Equation
9 to determine the 30 boiler operating day average.

pollution control device (APCD);
(ii) If the inspection of the APCD identifies the cause of the
exceedance,
[[Page 189]]
take corrective action as soon as possible, and return the PM CPMS
measurement to within the established value; and
(iii) Within 45 days of the exceedance or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify or re-establish the CPMS operating limit. You are not required
to conduct any additional testing for any exceedances that occur between
the time of the original exceedance and the PM emissions compliance test
required under this paragraph.
(2) PM CPMS exceedances of the operating limit for an EGU subject to
the emissions limits in Table 1 of this subpart leading to more than
four required performance tests in a 12-month period (rolling monthly)
constitute a separate violation of this subpart.

compliance with the site-specific monitoring requirements in Table 7 to
this subpart pertaining to HCl and HF emissions from a liquid oil-fired
EGU to ensure compliance with the HCl and HF emission limits in Tables 1
and 2 to this subpart, in accordance with the requirements of Sec.
63.10000(c)(2)(iii). The monitoring must meet the general operating
requirements provided in Sec. 63.10020.
(e) Conduct periodic performance tune-ups of your EGU(s), as
specified in paragraphs (e)(1) through (9) of this section. For your
first tune-up, you may perform the burner inspection any time prior to
the tune-up or you may delay the first burner inspection until the next
scheduled EGU outage provided you meet the requirements of Sec.
63.10005. Subsequently, you must perform an inspection of the burner at
least once every 36 calendar months unless your EGU employs neural
network combustion optimization during normal operations in which case
you must perform an inspection of the burner and combustion controls at
least once every 48 calendar months. If your EGU is offline when a
deadline to perform the tune-up passes, you shall perform the tune-up
work practice requirements within 30 days after the re-start of the
affected unit.
(1) As applicable, inspect the burner and combustion controls, and
clean or replace any components of the burner or combustion controls as
necessary upon initiation of the work practice program and at least once
every required inspection period. Repair of a burner or combustion
control component requiring special order parts may be scheduled as
follows:
(i) Burner or combustion control component parts needing replacement
that affect the ability to optimize NOX and CO must be
installed within 3 calendar months after the burner inspection,
(ii) Burner or combustion control component parts that do not affect
the ability to optimize NOX and CO may be installed on a
schedule determined by the operator;
(2) As applicable, inspect the flame pattern and make any
adjustments to the burner or combustion controls necessary to optimize
the flame pattern. The adjustment should be consistent with the
manufacturer's specifications, if available, or in accordance with best
combustion engineering practice for that burner type;
(3) As applicable, observe the damper operations as a function of
mill and/or cyclone loadings, cyclone and pulverizer coal feeder
loadings, or other pulverizer and coal mill performance parameters,
making adjustments and effecting repair to dampers, controls, mills,
pulverizers, cyclones, and sensors;
(4) As applicable, evaluate windbox pressures and air proportions,
making adjustments and effecting repair to
[[Page 190]]
dampers, actuators, controls, and sensors;
(5) Inspect the system controlling the air-to-fuel ratio and ensure
that it is correctly calibrated and functioning properly. Such
inspection may include calibrating excess O2 probes and/or
sensors, adjusting overfire air systems, changing software parameters,
and calibrating associated actuators and dampers to ensure that the
systems are operated as designed. Any component out of calibration, in
or near failure, or in a state that is likely to negate combustion
optimization efforts prior to the next tune-up, should be corrected or
repaired as necessary;
(6) Optimize combustion to minimize generation of CO and
NOX. This optimization should be consistent with the
manufacturer's specifications, if available, or best combustion
engineering practice for the applicable burner type. NOX
optimization includes burners, overfire air controls, concentric firing
system improvements, neural network or combustion efficiency software,
control systems calibrations, adjusting combustion zone temperature
profiles, and add-on controls such as SCR and SNCR; CO optimization
includes burners, overfire air controls, concentric firing system
improvements, neural network or combustion efficiency software, control
systems calibrations, and adjusting combustion zone temperature
profiles;
(7) While operating at full load or the predominantly operated load,
measure the concentration in the effluent stream of CO and
NOX in ppm, by volume, and oxygen in volume percent, before
and after the tune-up adjustments are made (measurements may be either
on a dry or wet basis, as long as it is the same basis before and after
the adjustments are made). You may use portable CO, NOX and
O2 monitors for this measurement. EGU's employing neural
network optimization systems need only provide a single pre- and post-
tune-up value rather than continual values before and after each
optimization adjustment made by the system;
(8) Maintain on-site and submit, if requested by the Administrator,
an annual report containing the information in paragraphs (e)(1) through
(e)(9) of this section including:
(i) The concentrations of CO and NOX in the effluent
stream in ppm by volume, and oxygen in volume percent, measured before
and after an adjustment of the EGU combustion systems;
(ii) A description of any corrective actions taken as a part of the
combustion adjustment; and
(iii) The type(s) and amount(s) of fuel used over the 12 calendar
months prior to an adjustment, but only if the unit was physically and
legally capable of using more than one type of fuel during that period;
and
(9) Report the dates of the initial and subsequent tune-ups in hard
copy, as specified in Sec. 63.10031(f)(5), through June 30, 2020. On or
after July 1, 2020, report the date of all tune-ups electronically, in
accordance with Sec. 63.10031(f). The tune-up report date is the date
when tune-up requirements in paragraphs (e)(6) and (7) of this section
are completed.
(f) You must submit the reports required under Sec. 63.10031 and,
if applicable, the reports required under appendices A and B to this
subpart. The electronic reports required by appendices A and B to this
subpart must be sent to the Administrator electronically in a format
prescribed by the Administrator, as provided in Sec. 63.10031. CEMS
data (except for PM CEMS and any approved alternative monitoring using a
HAP metals CEMS) shall be submitted using EPA's Emissions Collection and
Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) Client Tool. Other data, including PM
CEMS data, HAP metals CEMS data, and CEMS performance test detail
reports, shall be submitted in the file format generated through use of
EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool, the Compliance and Emissions Data
Reporting Interface, or alternate electronic file format, all as
provided for under Sec. 63.10031.
(g) You must report each instance in which you did not meet an
applicable emissions limit or operating limit in Tables 1 through 4 to
this subpart or failed to conduct a required tune-up. These instances
are deviations from the requirements of this subpart. These deviations
must be reported according to Sec. 63.10031.
[[Page 191]]
(h) You must follow the startup or shutdown requirements as given in
Table 3 to this subpart for each coal-fired, liquid oil-fired, or solid
oil-derived fuel-fired EGU.
(1) You may use the diluent cap and default gross output values, as
described in Sec. 63.10007(f), during startup periods or shutdown
periods.
(2) You must operate all CMS, collect data, calculate pollutant
emission rates, and record data during startup periods or shutdown
periods.
(3) You must report the information as required in Sec. 63.10031.
(4) You may choose to submit an alternative non-opacity emission
standard, in accordance with the requirements contained in Sec.
63.10011(g)(4). Until promulgation in the Federal Register of the final
alternative non-opacity emission standard, you shall comply with
paragraph (1) of the definition of ``startup'' in Sec. 63.10042.
(i) You must provide reports as specified in Sec. 63.10031
concerning activities and periods of startup and shutdown.

Sec. 63.10022 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance under
the emissions averaging provision?
(a) Following the compliance date, the owner or operator must
demonstrate compliance with this subpart on a continuous basis by
meeting the requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this
section.
(1) For each 30- (or 90-) day rolling average period, demonstrate
compliance with the average weighted emissions limit for the existing
units participating in the emissions averaging option as determined in
Sec. 63.10009(f) and (g);
(2) For each existing unit participating in the emissions averaging
option that is equipped with PM CPMS, maintain the average parameter
value at or below the operating limit established during the most recent
performance test;
(3) For each existing unit participating in the emissions averaging
option venting to a common stack configuration containing affected units
from other subcategories, maintain the appropriate operating limit for
each unit as specified in Table 4 to this subpart that applies.
(4) For each existing EGU participating in the emissions averaging
option, operate in accordance with the startup or shutdown work practice
requirements given in Table 3 to this subpart.
(b) Any instance where the owner or operator fails to comply with
the continuous monitoring requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3)
of this section is a deviation.

FR 68791, Nov. 19, 2014]
Sec. 63.10023 How do I establish my PM CPMS operating limit
and determine compliance with it?
(a) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the filterable PM,
individual non-mercury HAP metals, or total non-mercury HAP metals limit
(or for liquid oil-fired units, individual HAP metals or total HAP
metals limit, including Hg) in Table 1 or 2, record all hourly average
output values (e.g., milliamps, stack concentration, or other raw data
signal) from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the test runs
(e.g., nine 1-hour average PM CPMS output values for three 3-hour test
runs).
(b) Determine your operating limit as provided in paragraph (b)(1)
or (b)(2) of this section. You must verify an existing or establish a
new operating limit after each repeated performance test.
(1) [Reserved]
(2) Determine your operating limit as follows:
(i) If your PM performance test demonstrates your PM emissions do
not exceed 75 percent of your emissions limit, you will use the average
PM CPMS value recorded during the PM compliance test, the milliamp
equivalent of zero output from your PM CPMS, and the average PM result
of your compliance test to establish your operating limit. Calculate the
operating limit by establishing a relationship of PM CPMS signal to PM
concentration
[[Page 192]]
using the PM CPMS instrument zero, the average PM CPMS values
corresponding to the three compliance test runs, and the average PM
concentration from the Method 5 compliance test with the procedures in
(b)(2)(i)(A) through (D) of this section.
(A) Determine your PM CPMS instrument zero output with one of the
following procedures.
(1) Zero point data for in-situ instruments should be obtained by
removing the instrument from the stack and monitoring ambient air on a
test bench.
(2) Zero point data for extractive instruments should be obtained by
removing the extractive probe from the stack and drawing in clean
ambient air.
(3) The zero point can also can be obtained by performing manual
reference method measurements when the flue gas is free of PM emissions
or contains very low PM concentrations (e.g., when your process is not
operating, but the fans are operating or your source is combusting only
natural gas) and plotting these with the compliance data to find the
zero intercept.
(4) If none of the steps in paragraphs (A)(1) through (3) of this
section are possible, you must use a zero output value provided by the
manufacturer.
(B) Determine your PM CPMS instrument average (x) in milliamps, and
the average of your corresponding three PM compliance test runs (y),
using equation 10.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR24AP13.010
Where:
Xi = the PM CPMS data points for run i of the performance
test,
Yi = the PM emissions value (in lb/MWh) for run i of the
performance test, and
n = the number of data points.
(C) With your PM CPMS instrument zero expressed in milliamps, your
three run average PM CPMS milliamp value, and your three run average PM
emissions value (in lb/MWh) from your compliance runs, determine a
relationship of PM lb/MWh per milliamp with equation 11.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR24AP13.011
Where:
R = the relative PM lb/MWh per milliamp for your PM CPMS,
y = the three run average PM lb/MWh,
yx = the three run average milliamp output from your PM CPMS, and
z = the milliamp equivalent of your instrument zero determined from
(b)(2)(i)(A) of this section.
(D) Determine your source specific 30-day rolling average operating
limit using the PM lb/MWh per milliamp value from equation 11 in
equation 12, below. This sets your operating limit at the PM CPMS output
value corresponding to 75 percent of your emission limit.
[[Page 193]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR24AP13.012
Where:
OL = the operating limit for your PM CPMS on a 30-day rolling
average, in milliamps,
L = your source PM emissions limit in lb/MWh,
z = your instrument zero in milliamps, determined from (b)(2)(i)(A) of
this section, and
R = the relative PM lb/MWh per milliamp for your PM CPMS, from equation
11.
(ii) If your PM compliance test demonstrates your PM emissions
exceed 75 percent of your emissions limit, you will use the average PM
CPMS value recorded during the PM compliance test demonstrating
compliance with the PM limit to establish your operating limit.
(A) Determine your operating limit by averaging the PM CPMS milliamp
output corresponding to your three PM performance test runs that
demonstrate compliance with the emission limit using equation 13.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR24AP13.013
Where:
Xi = the PM CPMS data points for all runs i,
n = the number of data points, and
Oh = your site specific operating limit, in milliamps.
(iii) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4-20 milliamp output and the
establishment of its relationship to manual reference method
measurements must be determined in units of milliamps.
(iv) Your PM CPMS operating range must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level equivalent to two times your
allowable emission limit. If your PM CPMS is an auto-ranging instrument
capable of multiple scales, the primary range of the instrument must be
capable of reading PM concentration from zero to a level equivalent to
two times your allowable emission limit.
(v) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values from the PM CPMS for the periods
corresponding to the compliance test runs.
(vi) For PM performance test reports used to set a PM CPMS operating
limit, the electronic submission of the test report must also include
the make and model of the PM CPMS instrument, serial number of the
instrument, analytical principle of the instrument (e.g. beta
attenuation), span of the instruments primary analytical range, milliamp
value equivalent to the instrument zero output, technique by which this
zero value was determined, and the average milliamp signal corresponding
to each PM compliance test run.
(c) You must operate and maintain your process and control equipment
such that the 30 operating day average PM CPMS output does not exceed
the operating limit determined in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section.

Fossil fuel-fired means an electric utility steam generating unit
(EGU) that is capable of producing more than 25 MW of electrical output
from the combustion of fossil fuels. To be ``capable of combusting''
fossil fuels, an EGU would need to have these fuels allowed in its
operating permit and have the appropriate fuel handling facilities on-
site or otherwise available (e.g., coal handling equipment, including
coal storage area, belts and conveyers, pulverizers, etc.; oil storage
facilities). In addition, fossil fuel-fired means any EGU that fired
fossil fuels for more than 10.0 percent of the average annual heat input
during the 3 previous calendar years after the compliance date for your
facility in Sec. 63.9984 or for more than 15.0 percent of the annual
heat input during any one of those calendar years. EGU owners and
operators must estimate coal, oil, and natural gas usage for the first 3
calendar years after the applicable compliance date and they are solely

work performed by the stationary combustion turbines. For a unit
generating only electricity, the gross useful work performed is the
gross electrical output from the unit's turbine/generator sets. For a
cogeneration unit, the gross useful work performed is the gross
electrical output, including any such electricity used in the power
production process (which process includes, but is not limited to, any
on-site processing or treatment of fuel combusted at the unit and any
on-site emission controls), or mechanical output plus 75 percent of the
useful thermal output measured relative to ISO conditions that is not
used to generate additional electrical or mechanical output or to
enhance the performance of the unit (i.e., steam delivered to an
industrial process).
Heat input means heat derived from combustion of fuel in an EGU
(synthetic gas for an IGCC) and does not include the heat input from
preheated combustion air, recirculated flue gases, or exhaust gases from
other sources such as gas turbines, internal combustion engines, etc.

gas usage for the first 3 calendar years after the applicable compliance
date and they are solely responsible for assuring compliance with this
final rule or other applicable standard based on their fuel usage
projections. No solid coal or solid oil-derived fuel is directly burned
in the unit during operation. After the first 3 years of compliance,
EGUs are required to evaluate applicability based on coal or oil usage
from the three previous calendars years on an annual rolling basis.

formations beneath the Earth's surface that maintains a gaseous state at
standard atmospheric temperature and pressure under ordinary conditions.
Natural gas contains 20.0 grains or less of total sulfur per 100
standard cubic feet. Additionally, natural gas must either be composed
of at least 70 percent methane by volume or have a gross calorific value
between 950 and 1,100 Btu per standard cubic foot. Natural gas does not
include the following gaseous fuels: landfill gas, digester gas,

input during the 3 previous calendar years after the compliance date for
your facility in Sec. 63.9984 or for more than 15.0 percent of the
annual heat input during any one of those calendar years. EGU owners and
operators must estimate coal, oil, and natural gas usage for the first 3
calendar years after the applicable compliance date and they are solely
responsible for assuring compliance with this final rule or other
applicable standard based on their fuel usage projections. After the
first 3 years of compliance, EGUs are required to evaluate applicability
based on coal or oil usage from the three previous calendars years on an
annual rolling basis.
Particulate matter or PM means any finely divided solid material as
measured by the test methods specified under this subpart, or an
alternative method.
Pulverized coal (PC) boiler means an EGU in which pulverized coal is
introduced into an air stream that carries the coal to the combustion
chamber of the EGU where it is fired in suspension.

as defined by ASTM Method D396-10, ``Standard Specification for Fuel
Oils'' (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14).
Responsible official means responsible official as defined in 40 CFR
70.2.
Shutdown means the period in which cessation of operation of an EGU
is initiated for any purpose. Shutdown begins when the EGU no longer
generates electricity or makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or
steam) for industrial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes or when
no coal, liquid oil, syngas, or solid oil-derived fuel is being fired in
the EGU, whichever is earlier. Shutdown ends when the EGU no longer
generates electricity or makes useful thermal energy (such as steam or
heat) for industrial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes, and no
fuel is being fired in the EGU. Any fraction of an hour in which
shutdown occurs constitutes a full hour of shutdown.
Startup means:
(1) Either the first-ever firing of fuel in a boiler for the purpose
of producing electricity, or the firing of fuel in a boiler after a
shutdown event for any purpose. Startup ends when any of the steam from
the boiler is used to generate electricity for sale over the grid or for
any other purpose (including on-site use). Any fraction of an hour in
which startup occurs constitutes a full hour of startup; or
(2) The period in which operation of an EGU is initiated for any
purpose. Startup begins with either the firing of any fuel in an EGU for
the purpose of producing electricity or useful thermal energy (such as
heat or steam) for industrial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes
(other than the first-ever firing of fuel in a boiler following
construction of the boiler) or for any other purpose after a shutdown
event. Startup ends 4 hours after the EGU generates electricity that is
sold or used for any other purpose (including on site use), or 4 hours
after the EGU makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for
industrial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes (16 U.S.C.
796(18)(A) and 18 CFR 292.202(c)), whichever is earlier. Any fraction of
an hour in which startup occurs constitutes a full hour of startup.
Stationary combustion turbine means all equipment, including but not
limited to the turbine, the fuel, air, lubrication and exhaust gas
systems, control systems (except emissions control equipment), and any
ancillary components and sub-components comprising any simple cycle
stationary combustion turbine, any regenerative/recuperative cycle
stationary combustion turbine, the combustion turbine portion of any
stationary cogeneration cycle combustion system, or the combustion
turbine portion of any stationary combined cycle steam/electric
generating system. Stationary means that the
[[Page 207]]
combustion turbine is not self propelled or intended to be propelled
while performing its function. Stationary combustion turbines do not
include turbines located at a research or laboratory facility, if
research is conducted on the turbine itself and the turbine is not being
used to power other applications at the research or laboratory facility.
Steam generating unit means any furnace, boiler, or other device
used for combusting fuel for the purpose of producing steam (including
fossil-fuel-fired steam generators associated with integrated
gasification combined cycle gas turbines; nuclear steam generators are
not included).
Stoker means a unit consisting of a mechanically operated fuel
feeding mechanism, a stationary or moving grate to support the burning
of fuel and admit undergrate air to the fuel, an overfire air system to
complete combustion, and an ash discharge system. There are two general
types of stokers: underfeed and overfeed. Overfeed stokers include mass
feed and spreader stokers.
Subbituminous coal means coal that is classified as subbituminous A,
B, or C according to ASTM Method D388-05, ``Standard Classification of
Coals by Rank'' (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14).

any coal-fired EGU that is not a coal-fired EGU in the ``unit designed
for low rank virgin coal'' subcategory.
Unit designed for low rank virgin coal subcategory means any coal-
fired EGU that is designed to burn and that is burning nonagglomerating
virgin coal having a calorific value (moist, mineral matter-free basis)
of less than 19,305 kJ/kg (8,300 Btu/lb) that is constructed and
operates at or near the mine that produces such coal.
Unit designed to burn solid oil-derived fuel subcategory means any
oil-fired EGU that burns solid oil-derived fuel.
Voluntary consensus standards or VCS mean technical standards (e.g.,
materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, business
practices) developed or adopted by one or more voluntary consensus
bodies. The EPA/OAQPS has by precedent only used VCS that are written in
English. Examples of VCS bodies are: American Society of Testing and
Materials (ASTM), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME),
International Standards Organization (ISO), Standards Australia (AS),
British Standards (BS), Canadian Standards (CSA), European Standard (EN
or CEN) and German Engineering Standards (VDI). The types of standards
that are not considered VCS are standards developed by: the U.S. states,
e.g., California (CARB) and Texas (TCEQ); industry groups, such as
American Petroleum Institute (API), Gas Processors Association (GPA),
and Gas Research Institute (GRI); and other branches of the U.S.
government, e.g., Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of
Transportation (DOT). This does not preclude EPA from using standards
developed by groups that are not VCS bodies within an EPA rule. When
this occurs, EPA has done searches and reviews for VCS equivalent to
these non-VCS methods.
Wet flue gas desulfurization technology, or wet FGD, or wet scrubber
means any add-on air pollution control device that is located downstream
of the steam generating unit that mixes an aqueous stream or slurry with
the exhaust gases from an EGU to control emissions of PM and/or to
absorb and neutralize acid gases, such as SO2 and HCl.
Work practice standard means any design, equipment, work practice,
or operational standard, or combination thereof, which is promulgated
pursuant to CAA section 112(h).

Sec. Table 3 to Subpart UUUUU of Part 63--Work Practice Standards
As stated in Sec. Sec. 63.9991, you must comply with the following
applicable work practice standards:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your EGU is . . . You must meet the following . . .
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. An existing EGU................ Conduct a tune-up of the EGU burner
and combustion controls at least
each 36 calendar months, or each 48
calendar months if neural network
combustion optimization software is
employed, as specified in Sec.
63.10021(e).
2. A new or reconstructed EGU..... Conduct a tune-up of the EGU burner
and combustion controls at least
each 36 calendar months, or each 48
calendar months if neural network
combustion optimization software is
employed, as specified in Sec.
63.10021(e).
3. A coal-fired, liquid oil-fired a. You have the option of complying
(excluding limited-use liquid oil- using either of the following work
fired subcategory units), or practice standards:
solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU (1) If you choose to comply using
during startup. paragraph (1) of the definition of
``startup'' in Sec. 63.10042, you
must operate all CMS during
startup. Startup means either the
first-ever firing of fuel in a
boiler for the purpose of producing
electricity, or the firing of fuel
in a boiler after a shutdown event
for any purpose. Startup ends when
any of the steam from the boiler is
used to generate electricity for
sale over the grid or for any other
purpose (including on site use).
For startup of a unit, you must use
clean fuels as defined in Sec.
63.10042 for ignition. Once you
convert to firing coal, residual
oil, or solid oil-derived fuel, you
must engage all of the applicable
control technologies except dry
scrubber and SCR. You must start
your dry scrubber and SCR systems,
if present, appropriately to comply
with relevant standards applicable
during normal operation. You must
comply with all applicable
emissions limits at all times
except for periods that meet the
applicable definitions of startup
and shutdown in this subpart. You
must keep records during startup
periods. You must provide reports
concerning activities and startup
periods, as specified in Sec.
63.10011(g) and Sec. 63.10021(h)
and (i).
(2) If you choose to comply using
paragraph (2) of the definition
of ``startup'' in Sec.
63.10042, you must operate all
CMS during startup. You must
also collect appropriate data,
and you must calculate the
pollutant emission rate for each
hour of startup.
For startup of an EGU, you must
use one or a combination of the
clean fuels defined in Sec.
63.10042 to the maximum extent
possible, taking into account
considerations such as boiler or
control device integrity,
throughout the startup period.
You must have sufficient clean
fuel capacity to engage and
operate your PM control device
within one hour of adding coal,
residual oil, or solid oil-
derived fuel to the unit. You
must meet the startup period
work practice requirements as
identified in Sec.
63.10020(e).
Once you start firing coal,
residual oil, or solid oil-
derived fuel, you must vent
emissions to the main stack(s).
You must comply with the
applicable emission limits
beginning with the hour after
startup ends. You must engage
and operate your particulate
matter control(s) within 1 hour
of first firing of coal,
residual oil, or solid oil-
derived fuel.
You must start all other
applicable control devices as
expeditiously as possible,
considering safety and
manufacturer/supplier
recommendations, but, in any
case, when necessary to comply
with other standards made
applicable to the EGU by a
permit limit or a rule other
than this Subpart that require
operation of the control
devices.
b. Relative to the syngas not
fired in the combustion turbine
of an IGCC EGU during startup,
you must either: (1) Flare the
syngas, or (2) route the syngas
to duct burners, which may need
to be installed, and route the
flue gas from the duct burners
to the heat recovery steam
generator.
c. If you choose to use just one
set of sorbent traps to
demonstrate compliance with the
applicable Hg emission limit,
you must comply with the limit
at all times; otherwise, you
must comply with the applicable
emission limit at all times
except for startup and shutdown
periods.
d. You must collect monitoring
data during startup periods, as
specified in Sec. 63.10020(a)
and (e). You must keep records
during startup periods, as
provided in Sec. Sec.
63.10032 and 63.10021(h). You
must provide reports concerning
activities and startup periods,
as specified in Sec. Sec.
63.10011(g), 63.10021(i), and
63.10031.
4. A coal-fired, liquid oil-fired You must operate all CMS during
(excluding limited-use liquid oil- shutdown. You must also collect
fired subcategory units), or appropriate data, and you must
solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU calculate the pollutant emission
during shutdown. rate for each hour of shutdown for
those pollutants for which a CMS is
used.
While firing coal, residual oil, or
solid oil-derived fuel during
shutdown, you must vent emissions
to the main stack(s) and operate
all applicable control devices and
continue to operate those control
devices after the cessation of
coal, residual oil, or solid oil-
derived fuel being fed into the EGU
and for as long as possible
thereafter considering operational
and safety concerns. In any case,
you must operate your controls when
necessary to comply with other
standards made applicable to the
EGU by a permit limit or a rule
other than this Subpart and that
require operation of the control
devices.
If, in addition to the fuel used
prior to initiation of shutdown,
another fuel must be used to
support the shutdown process,
that additional fuel must be one
or a combination of the clean
fuels defined in Sec. 63.10042
and must be used to the maximum
extent possible, taking into
account considerations such as
not compromising boiler or
control device integrity.
Relative to the syngas not fired
in the combustion turbine of an
IGCC EGU during shutdown, you
must either: (1) Flare the
syngas, or (2) route the syngas
to duct burners, which may need
to be installed, and route the
flue gas from the duct burners
to the heat recovery steam
generator.
[[Page 216]]
You must comply with all
applicable emission limits at
all times except during startup
periods and shutdown periods at
which time you must meet this
work practice. You must collect
monitoring data during shutdown
periods, as specified in Sec.
63.10020(a). You must keep
records during shutdown periods,
as provided in Sec. Sec.
63.10032 and 63.10021(h). Any
fraction of an hour in which
shutdown occurs constitutes a
full hour of shutdown. You must
provide reports concerning
activities and shutdown periods,
as specified in Sec. Sec.
63.10011(g), 63.10021(i), and
63.10031.
