**ACTION:** Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY:** The EPA is proposing amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The proposed amendments include alternative testing options for certain large spark ignition (generally natural gas-fueled) stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines, management practices for a subset of existing spark ignition stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines in sparsely populated areas and alternative monitoring and compliance options for the same engines in populated areas. ThePage 2 of 197 EPA is also proposing to include a limited temporary allowance for existing stationary emergency area source engines to be used for peak shaving and non-emergency demand response. In addition, the EPA is proposing to increase the hours that stationary emergency engines may be used for emergency demand response. Theproposed amendments also correct minor mistakes in the preexisting regulations.

**I. General Information** A. Executive Summary 1. Purpose of the Regulatory Action The purpose of this action is to propose amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This proposal was developed to address certain issues that have been raised by different stakeholders through lawsuits, several petitions for reconsideration of the 2010 RICE NESHAP amendments and other communications. This proposal also provides

clarifications and corrects minor mistakes in the current RICE NESHAP and revises the new source performance standards (NSPS)Page 7 of 197 for stationary engines, 40 CFR part 60, subparts IIII and JJJJ, for consistency with the RICE NESHAP. This action is conducted under the authority of section 112 of the CAA, “Hazardous Air Pollutants,” (HAP) which requires the

EPA to establish NESHAP for the control of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from both new and existing sources in regulated source categories. 2. Summary of the Major Provisions of the Regulatory Action After promulgation of the 2010 RICE NESHAP amendments, the EPA received several petitions for reconsideration, legal challenges, and other communications raising issues of practical implementability, and certain factual information that had not been brought to the EPA’s attention during the rulemaking. The

EPA has considered this information and believes that amendments to the rule to address certain of these issues are appropriate. Therefore, the EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ, NESHAP for Stationary RICE. The current regulation applies to owners and operators of existing and new stationary RICE at major and area sources of HAP emissions. The applicability of the rule remains the same and is not changed by this proposal. The EPA is also proposing to amend the NSPS for stationary engines to conform with certain of the amendments proposed for

the NESHAP.Page 8 of 197 The EPA proposes to add an alternative compliance demonstration option for stationary 4-stroke rich burn (4SRB) spark ignition (SI) engines subject to a 76 percent or more formaldehyde reduction. Owners and operators of 4SRB engines would be permitted to demonstrate compliance with the 76 percent formaldehyde reduction emission standard by testing total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions and showing that the engine is achieving at least a 30 percent reduction of THC emissions. The alternative compliance option would provide a less expensive and less complex, but equally effective, method for demonstrating compliance than testing for formaldehyde. Certain stationary RICE are maintained in order to be able to respond to emergency power needs. The EPA proposes to allow owners and operators of such stationary emergency RICE to operate their engines as part of an emergency demand response program within the 100 hours per year that is already permitted for maintenance and testing of the engines. The 100 hours per year allowance would ensure that a sufficient number of hours are permitted for engines to meet independent system operator (ISO) and regional transmission organization (RTO) tariffs and other requirements for participating in various emergency demand response programs and would assist in stabilizing the grid, preventing electrical blackouts and supporting local electric system reliability. A temporary limited allowance that willPage 9 of 197 expire on April 16, 2017, is being proposed for stationary emergency engines located at area sources of HAP emissions to be used for up to 50 hours per year for any non-emergency purpose, including peak shaving. The 50 hours is part of the 100 hours per year total allowance for all types of emergency engine operation (except during emergencies where no other power is available, which is not restricted by the rule). The temporary allowance for peak shaving would give sources time to address reliability issues and develop solutions to reliability issues while facilities are coming into compliance with the National

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From Coal and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units, which were promulgated on February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9304). The EPA proposes management practices for owners and operators of existing stationary 4-stroke SI engines above 500 horsepower (HP) that are area sources of HAP emissions and where the engines are remote from human activity. A remote area is defined as either a Department of Transportation (DOT) Class 1 pipeline location 1 , or, if the facility is not on a pipeline, if within a 0.25 mile radius of the facility there are 5 or less buildings intended for human occupancy. The EPA proposes that these sources be subject to management practices rather than

1 A Class 1 location is defined as an offshore area or any class location unit that has 10 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy.Page 10 of 197 aftertreatment-forcing standards and associated testing and monitoring. This would address reasonable concerns with accessibility, infrastructure, and staffing that stem from the remoteness of the engines and higher costs that would be associated with compliance with the existing requirements. The EPA proposes that existing stationary 4-stroke SI engines above 500 HP at area sources that are in populated areas (defined as DOT pipeline Class 2 through Class 4 areas, or if not on a pipeline, if within a 0.25 mile radius of the facility there are more than 5 buildings intended for human occupancy) be subjectto an equipment standard that requires the installation of HAPreducing aftertreatment. Sources would be required to test their engines to demonstrate compliance initially, perform catalyst activity check-ups, and either monitor the catalyst inlet temperature continuously or employ high temperature shutdown devices to protect the catalyst. To address how certain existing compression ignition (CI) engines are currently regulated, the EPA proposes to specify that any existing certified CI engine above 300 HP at an area

source of HAP emissions that was certified to meet the Tier 3 engine standards and was installed before June 12, 2006, is in compliance with the NESHAP. This provision would create regulatory consistency between the same engines installed before and after June 12, 2006.Page 11 of 197 The EPA is proposing amendments to the requirements for existing stationary Tier 1 and Tier 2 certified CI engines located at area sources that are subject to state and locally enforceable requirements requiring replacement of the engine by January 1, 2018. This is meant to deal with a specific concern regarding the interaction of the NESHAP with certain rules for agricultural engines in the San Joaquin Valley in California. The EPA is proposing to allow these engines to meet management practices under the RICE NESHAP for a period of 2 years until May 3, 2015. This provision would deal with the issue of owners and operators having to install controls on their engines in order to meet the RICE NESHAP, and then having to replace their engines shortly thereafter due to state and local rules specifying the replacement of engines. Owners and operators will have two additional years to replace their engines without having to install controls, but will be required to use management practices during that period. The last major change the EPA proposes to make is to

broaden the definition of remote area sources of Alaska in the RICE NESHAP. Currently, remote areas are those that are not on the Federal Aid Highway System (FAHS). This change would permit existing stationary CI engines at other remote area sources in Alaska to meet management practices as opposed to emission standards likely necessitating aftertreatment. These remotePage 12 of 197 areas have the same challenges as areas not on the FAHS, and complying with the current rule would similarly be prohibitively costly and potentially infeasible. In addition to area sources located in areas of Alaska that are not accessible by the FAHS being defined as remote and subject to management practices, the EPA also proposes that any stationary RICE in Alaska meeting all of the following conditions be subject to management practices: (1) The only connection to the FAHS is through the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS), or the stationary RICE operation is within an isolated grid in Alaska that is not connected to the statewide electrical grid referred to as the Alaska Railbelt Grid, and (2) At least 10 percent of the power generated by the stationary RICE on an annual basis is used for residential purposes, and (3) The generating capacity of the area source is less than 12 megawatts, or the stationary RICE is used exclusively for backup power for renewable energy and is used less than 500 hrs per year on a 10 year rolling average.

3. Costs and Benefits These proposed amendments would reduce the capital and annual costs of the original 2010 amendments by $287 million and $139 million, respectively. The EPA estimates that with thePage 13 of 197 proposed amendments, the capital cost of the rule is $840 million and the annual cost is $490 million ($2010). These proposed amendments would also result in decreases to the reductions estimated in 2013 from the original 2010 RICE

NESHAP amendments. The estimated reductions in 2013 from the 2010 RICE NESHAP rulemaking with these proposed amendments are 2,800 tons per year (tpy) of HAP, 36,000 tpy of carbon monoxide (CO), 2,800 tpy of particulate matter (PM), 9,600 tpy of nitrogen oxide (NOx), and 36,000 tpy of volatile organic compounds (VOC).

The EPA estimates the monetized co-benefits in 2013 of the original 2010 RICE NESHAP amendments with these proposed amendments incorporated to be $830 million to $2,100 million (2010 dollars) at a 3-percent discount rate and $740 million to $1,800 million (2010 dollars) at a 7-percent discount rate.

Summary of Proposed Amendments** This action proposes amendments to the NESHAP for RICE in 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. This action also proposes amendments to the NSPS for stationary engines in 40 CFR part 60, subparts IIII and JJJJ. The NESHAP for stationary RICE to regulate emissions of HAP was developed in several stages. The EPA initially addressed stationary RICE greater than 500 HP located at major sources of HAP emissions in 2004 (69 FR 33473). The EPA addressed new stationary RICE less than or equal to 500 HP located at major sources and new stationary RICE located at area sources in 2008 (73 FR 3568). Most recently, requirements for existing stationary RICE less than or equal to 500 HP located at major sources and existing stationary RICE located atPage 17 of 197 area sources were finalized in 2010 (75 FR 9648 and 75 FR 51570). The EPA is proposing to address a number of issues that have been raised by different stakeholders through lawsuits, several petitions for reconsideration of the 2010 RICE NESHAP amendments, and other communications. The EPA is also proposing to revise 40 CFR part 60, subparts IIII and JJJJ for consistency

with the RICE NESHAP and to make minor corrections and clarifications. The following sections present the issues that the EPA is addressing in this action, background information as to why these issues are causing concern among affected stakeholders, and how the EPA proposes to resolve the issues.

A. Total Hydrocarbon Compliance Demonstration Option 1. Background Currently, SI 4SRB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP located at major sources and existing SI 4SRB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP located at area sources have the option of meeting either a formaldehyde percent reduction or a formaldehyde concentration standard. Formaldehyde was established in the original 2004 RICE NESHAP as an appropriate surrogate for HAP emissions from 4SRB engines based on industry test data available at that time. Based on testing of stationary lean burn engines conducted at Colorado State University (CSU), the EPA was able to establish CO as a surrogate for HAP for leanPage 18 of 197 burn engines. Rich burn engines were not tested at CSU and the

data the EPA had available at the time that were used to set the standards for rich burn engines did not support the same relationship between CO and HAP reductions for rich burn engines. Therefore, the EPA was unable to establish CO as a surrogate for HAP emissions for rich burn engines and the emission standard for rich burn engines was specified in terms of formaldehyde, the hazardous air pollutant emitted in the largest quantity from stationary engines. The EPA has previously acknowledged that it is significantly more expensive and difficult to test for formaldehyde than for CO, but has been unable in the past to support including the same flexibility for rich burn engines as is currently in the rule for lean burn engines with the option to meet the standards in terms of either formaldehyde or CO. For these reasons and expecting that new data for rich burn engines may become available in the future for the EPA to review and reassess possible surrogates for HAP, the EPA requested comment on this issue when proposing NESHAP for stationary existing engines less than or equal to 500 HP at major sources and all stationary existing engines at area sources in 2009 (74 FR 9698). Specifically, the EPA solicited comment on whether it would be appropriate to include an alternative standard in terms of VOC and asked that commenters submit data supporting thePage 19 of 197 relationship between HAP and VOC. Comments the EPA received back on the proposed rule asked that the formaldehyde standards for rich burn engines be replaced with emission standards for THC. The EPA determined at the time that it was not appropriate to adopt an alternative standard in terms of THC (or VOC) for rich burn engines and discussed the reasons why in the 2010 responses

to comments. 2 Compliance with the formaldehyde standard in the rule is, therefore, currently demonstrated by initial and continuous performance testing for formaldehyde. On October 19, 2010, engine manufacturer Dresser-Waukesha submitted a petition for reconsideration of the formaldehyde requirements. The EPA granted the petition for reconsideration on January 5, 2011. (In addition, on November 3, 2010, the Engine Manufacturers Association submitted a petition for judicial review of these requirements.) In the petition for reconsideration, Dresser-Waukesha argued that formaldehyde is difficult and costly to measure. The petition requested that the HAP surrogate for 4SRB engines should be THC rather than formaldehyde. Dresser-Waukesha submitted data from testing it

Response to Public Comments on Proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Existing Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines Located at Area Sources of Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions or Have a Site Rating Less Than or Equal to 500 Brake HP Located at Major Sources of Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions. August 10, 2010. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708-0557.Page 20 of 197 conducted illustrating that THC reduction across the catalyst is an appropriate surrogate for HAP reduction across the catalyst. 3 According to the petitioner, testing for THC is easier and less costly and would substantially reduce the burden of the rule for owners and operators of these engines. Testing for formaldehyde emissions could cost more than double that of testing for THC

emissions and on a nationwide basis the EPA estimates that replacing formaldehyde testing with THC testing would result in substantial compliance cost savings annually while achieving the

same reduction in HAP emissions.The EPA has reviewed the data submitted by DresserWaukesha. The data provided indicate that a strong relationship exists between percentage reductions of THC and percentage reductions of formaldehyde (the surrogate for HAP emissions in the NESHAP) on rich burn engines using non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR). Data analyzed by the EPA indicate that if the NSCR is reducing THC by at least 30 percent from 4SRB engines, formaldehyde emissions are guaranteed to be reduced by at least 76 percent, which is the percentage reduction required for the relevant engines. Indeed, the percentage reduction of formaldehyde is invariably well above the 76 percent level, and is usually above 90 percent. Therefore, the EPA agrees with the

3 Letter from Dresser-Waukesha to Melanie King. Follow-up toNovember 18, 2010 Teleconference. December 6, 2010. EPA-HQ-OAR2008-0708-0662.Page 21 of 197 petitioner that for SI 4SRB engines using NSCR and meeting the NESHAP by showing a percentage reduction of HAP, it would be appropriate to allow sources to demonstrate compliance with the NESHAP by showing a THC reduction of at least 30 percent. Including an optional THC compliance demonstration option would reduce the cost of compliance significantly while continuing to

achieve the same level of HAP emission reduction because the emission standards would remain the same. Consequently, the EPA is proposing amendments to allow owners and operators of certain stationary 4SRB engines (i.e., the ones currently subject to a formaldehyde percent reduction requirement) to show compliance with an optional THC compliance demonstration option. The specific amendments the EPA is proposing are presented below.

2. Proposed Amendments The EPA is proposing to add an alternative method of demonstrating compliance with the NESHAP for stationary 4SRB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP that are located at major sources of HAP emissions and for existing stationary 4SRB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP that are located at

area sources of HAP emissions that choose to meet the formaldehyde percent reduction requirement of 76 percent or

more. Based on the arguments and evidence presented in the petition discussed above, the EPA is proposing to add aPage 22 of 197 compliance demonstration option for stationary 4SRB engines meeting a 76 percent or more formaldehyde reduction. The compliance demonstration option would be an alternative to the existing method of demonstrating compliance with the formaldehyde percent reduction standard, which is to test engines for formaldehyde. The alternative for owners and operators of 4SRB engines meeting a 76 percent or more formaldehyde reduction would be to test their engines for THC showing that the engine is achieving at least a 30 percent

reduction of THC emissions. Under the proposed amendments, existing and new stationary 4SRB engines greater than 500 HP and located at major sources would still be required to reduce formaldehyde emissions by 76 percent or more or limit the concentration of formaldehyde in the stationary RICE exhaust to 350 parts per billion by volume, dry basis or less at 15 percent oxygen (O 2 ). However, owners and operators choosing to meet the formaldehyde concentration limit would not have the THC demonstration compliance option, because EPA could not verify a clear relationship between concentrations of THC and concentrations of formaldehyde in exhaust from these SI 4SRB engines. For the reasons discussed in section II.C.1 of this preamble, the EPA is proposing that existing stationary 4SRB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP located at area sources located in populated areas be subject to an equipmentPage 23 of 197 standard and required to install a catalyst. These engines would be subject to testing to demonstrate initially and on an ongoing basis that the catalyst is reducing CO by 75 percent or more, or alternatively that THC emissions are being reduced by 30 percent

or more. Owners and operators of existing stationary 4SRB engines less than or equal to 500 HP who are required to limit the concentration of formaldehyde in the stationary RICE exhaust to 10.3 parts per million by volume, dry basis (ppmvd) or less at 15 percent O 2 do not have the option to demonstrate compliance using THC and must continue to demonstrate compliance by testing for formaldehyde following the methods and procedures specified

in the rule. Owners and operators opting to use the THC compliance demonstration method must demonstrate compliance by showing that the average reduction of THC is equal to or greater than 30 percent. Owners and operators of 4SRB stationary RICE complying with the requirement to reduce formaldehyde emissions and demonstrating compliance by using the THC compliance demonstration option must conduct performance testing using Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A – Determination of Total Gaseous Organic Concentration Using a Flame Ionization Analyzer. Measurements of THC at the inlet and the outlet of the NSCR must be on a dry basis and corrected to 15 percent O 2 orPage 24 of 197 equivalent carbon dioxide content. To correct to 15 percent O 2 , dry basis, owners and operators must measure oxygen using Method 3, 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, or ASTM Method D6522- 00 (2005) and measure moisture using Method 4 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, or Test Method 320 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A, or ASTM D6348-03. Because owners and operators are complying with a percent reduction requirement, the method used must be suitable for the entire range of emissions since pre and post-catalyst emissions must be measured. Method 25A is capable of measuring emissions down to 5 ppmv and is, therefore, an appropriate method for measuring THC emissions for compliance demonstration purposes. The EPA is allowing sources the option to meet a minimum THC percent reduction of 30 percent by using Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A to demonstrate compliance with the formaldehyde percent reduction in 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. B. Emergency Demand Response/Peak Shaving 1. Background This action also proposes to amend provisions in the RICE NESHAP that currently allow owners and operators to operate stationary emergency engines for up to 15 hours per year as part of a demand response program if the RTO or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator have determined there are emergency conditions that could lead to a potential electrical blackout, such as unusually low frequency, equipment overload,Page 25 of 197 capacity or energy deficiency, or unacceptable voltage level. The final rule did not allow emergency engines to be used for purposes of peak shaving or other non-emergency purposes as part of a financial arrangement. These provisions were included in the RICE NESHAP when requirements for existing stationary CI engines were finalized on March 3, 2010 (75 FR 9648). Following the completion of that portion of the rule, the EPA received three main petitions for reconsideration. One petition was from CPower, Inc., EnergyConnect, Inc., EnerNOC, Inc., and Innoventive Power, LLC. (EnerNOC et al.)(EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708- 0404). Another petition was received from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DE DNREC) (EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708-0400). The third petition was from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) (OAR-2008-0708-0580). In addition to these main petitions the

EPA received a substantial number of letters from others in the electric generation industry. The petition from EnerNOC, et al., asked that EPA increase the period of time permitted for emergency demand response operation in the rule to 60 hours per year, or the minimum number of hours required by the emergency demand response program. By contrast, the DE DNREC petition asked EPA to reconsider the emergency demand response provision because of

the adverse effects that it believes would result from increasedPage 26 of 197 emissions from these engines. The petition from NRECA requested that the EPA eliminate the restriction on the use of stationary emergency engines for demand response purposes. The EPA granted the petitions from EnerNOC, et al., DE DNREC and NRECA, and issued a notice on December 7, 2010 (75 FR 75937), requesting comments on whether to amend the 15 hours per year limitation on the operation of stationary emergency RICE participating in emergency demand response programs.

The EPA received more than 120 comments from a number of different entities including various state agencies, utilities, electric cooperatives and industry organizations. Many commenters expressed that 15 hours per year is not sufficient to meet current emergency demand response requirements for participation. For example, several emergency demand response programs have ISO tariff requirements greater than 15 hours per year, including the Electric Reliability Council of Texas emergency demand response program, which has a tariff requirement of 24 hours per year; the Pennsylvania Jersey Maryland (“PJM”) Interconnection, known as the Emergency Load Response Program, which has a tariff requirement of 60 hours per year; and the ISO New England (“ISO-NE”), which forecasts that backup resources would be expected for 55 hours over a 12-month period. Tariff requirements are developed to specify the mandatory time load resources (engines) must be willing and ablePage 27 of 197 to operate if the units are enrolled in the program. Conversely, some commenters urged the EPA to allow stationary emergency engines to only operate during true emergencies or when voltage or frequency varies beyond specified parameters. Based on the EPA’s review of the petitions and comments that the EPA has received, the EPA has found it appropriate to propose to amend the current rule to increase the allowance for stationary emergency engine participation in emergency demand response programs to up to 100 hours per year, which would be included as part of the pre-existing allowance of 100 hours for owners of emergency engines to test and maintain their emergency engines. The EPA believes that the emergency demand response programs that exist across the country are important programs that protect the reliability and stability of the national electric service grid. Allowing stationary emergency engines to operate as part of emergency demand response programs can help prevent grid failure or blackouts, by allowing these engines to be used in circumstances of grid instability prior to the occurrence of blackouts. Preventing stationary emergency engines from being able to qualify and participate in emergency demand response programs without having to apply aftertreatment could force owners and operators to leave their engines out of these programs, which will impair the ability of ISOs and RTOs to use these relatively small, quick-starting and reliable sources ofPage 28 of 197 energy to protect the reliability of their systems. The EPA does not wish to potentially jeopardize electrical reliability or create a disincentive for stationary emergency engines to participate in these programs. The circumstances during which the EPA would allow stationary emergency engines to operate for emergency demand response purposes include periods during which the regional transmission authority or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has declared an Energy Emergency Alert Level 2 (EEA Level 2) as defined in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Reliability Standard EOP-002-3, Capacity and Energy Emergency, plus during periods where there is a deviation of voltage or frequency of 5 percent or more below standard voltage or frequency. During EEA Level 2 alerts there is insufficient energy supply and a true potential for electrical blackouts. System operators must call on all available resources during EEA Level 2 alerts in order to stabilize the grid to prevent failure. Therefore, this situation is a good indicator of severe instability on the system. Consistent normal voltage provided by the utility is often called power quality and is an important factor in local electric system reliability. Reliability of the system requires electricity being provided at a normal expected voltage. The

American National Standards Institute standard C84.1-1989 defines the maximum allowable voltage sag at below 5 percent. OnPage 29 of 197 the local distribution level local voltage levels are therefore important and a 5 percent or more change in the normal voltage or frequency is substantial and an indication that additional resources are needed to ensure local distribution system reliability. This situation would be indicative of severe instability on the system. Emergency demand response programs rely on agreements under which owners of engine agree to make their engines available to be called upon for a specific number of hours per year, as required by the relevant ISO or RTO tariff, under specified circumstances considered to indicate emergencies. In order to be enrolled in an emergency demand response program, participants must qualify their engines and must be able to use their emergency engines for the number of hours the program requires. Engines are not generally called upon for the maximum hours required by the tariffs. However, even though the engine may not be called at all or may run for fewer hours than the program requires it to be available in a particular year, the engine

must still be available for those theoretical number of hours in order to join the program. Demand response contracts require more hours than the 15 hours per year that is currently in the regulations, and the commenters state that the 15 hours per year is not a sufficient amount of time to ensure the reliability of the program; some programs require up to 60 hours per year, asPage 30 of 197 discussed earlier in this preamble. For these reasons, the EPA believes it is appropriate to allow additional hours for emergency demand response operation in order for such programs to be accessible to stationary emergency engines. Consequently, the EPA is proposing amendments to the rule to increase the limitation on emergency demand response operation to 100 hours per year for stationary emergency engines. It is expected that owners and operators of stationary emergency engines that seek to qualify their units as demand resources would with the proposed increase to 100 hours per year be able to meet the operational and qualification requirements of the different ISOs and RTOs in the country. As stated, stationary emergency engines that participate in demand response programs may not be called upon at all, but must nonetheless be available to operate for the required amount stipulated by the specific program. The purpose of the limited allowance for emergency demand response is to respond to emergencies, and the EPA is persuaded by the information that has been submitted that 15 hours per year is an insufficient amount of time to allow for emergency demand response needs, given past experience. The EPA believes 100 hours per year is sufficient to cover any potential demand response operation as well as the required maintenance and testing that is also included within the 100 hours of operation.Page 31 of 197 The EPA has previously determined that stationary emergency engines typically operate well below 50 hours per year and more commonly about 1 to 2 hours per month. A survey conducted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) indicated the average yearly operation for emergency diesel engines was 31 hours over a period of 3 years. The majority of those hours were for the purpose of maintenance and testing; less than 5 hours was for interruptible service contracts, and the remaining amount for emergency/standby operation (EPA-HQ-OAR-2005-0029-0011). Data from demand response programs in ISO-NE and PJM territories show that backup generation was dispatched for less than 30 hours during the summers of 2008, 2009 and 2010. 4 However, again, emergency units must be available to operate more than that in most cases to qualify for demand response programs. For instance, PJM requires a minimum ISO tariff of 60 hours per year of engine availability for program participation. Consequently, in order to ensure that a sufficient amount of operating time is available for maintenance and readiness testing, and for demand response operation, the EPA is proposing 100 hours of operation. A number of commenters requested that an allowance of 100 hours per year be allowed in order to provide adequate hours consistent with minimum required

June 27, 2011.Page 32 of 197 hours that customers must be available to operate and to address local distribution system emergencies. For instance, in Hawaii, the emergency demand response program operated by the Hawaiian Electric Company requires that emergency engines be able to operate for 100 hours per year in the event of an emergency in order to participate in the program. In order to provide a

sufficient amount of time to cover annual maintenance and testing, which is typically more than 20 hours per year according to the survey conducted by CARB (see EPA-HQ-OAR-2005- 0029-0011), plus to cover hours necessary for qualifying for emergency demand response programs or local distribution system emergencies, EPA believes an allowance of 100 hours per year would be appropriate for these activities. Taking into account that there may be situations where annual maintenance and testing could exceed the typical 1 to 2 hours per month and accounting for other emergency demand response programs that require more than 60 hours per year for program participation (e.g., the Hawaiian Electric Company), the EPA believes that 100 hours per year is appropriate for emergency demand response plus maintenance and testing. The proposed amendment to the rule would mean that stationary emergency engines could operate for a total of 100 hours per year for emergency demand response operation as part of the 100 hours already permitted for maintenance and readinessPage 33 of 197 testing while maintaining their status as emergency units, rather than non-emergency units, and continue to meet the requirements that apply to emergency engines. On the issue of peak shaving and non-emergency demand response, the EPA is proposing to include a temporary limited allowance for peak shaving and other types of non-emergency use as part of a financial arrangement for existing stationary emergency engines at area sources of HAP, if the peak shaving is done as part of a peak shaving (or load management) program with the local distribution system operator. The power generated under this allowance can only be used at the facility or towards the local system. The EPA has determined that it is appropriate to include the option for existing stationary emergency engines at area sources to operate for a small number (50) of hours per year for any non-emergency reason and not be penalized or considered a non-emergency engine and subsequently required to install aftertreatment that could be prohibitively costly for these sources in the near term. The EPA is proposing that the 50-hour allowance for peak shaving for emergency engines at area sources be allowed for a limited period of time, but then removed after April 16, 2017. The peak shaving would also be limited to operation as part of a peak shaving (load management program) with the local distribution system operator. Owners would stillPage 34 of 197have the pre-existing 50 hours per year allowance for nonemergency operation after April 16, 2017, but those 50 hours could no longer be used for peak shaving. The temporary allowance for peak shaving would give sources an additional resource for maintaining reliability while facilities are coming into compliance with the NESHAP From Coal and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (77 FR 9304). While the EPA does not expect the NESHAP From Coal and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units to cause regional reliability problems, this limited allowance would allow the owners and operators of these engines more flexibility to run reliability critical units in order to minimize potential grid-related interruptions as coal- and oil-fired baseload power plants may be temporarily shut down to install emission controls to comply with the NESHAP From Coal and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units. Including this allowance is important for small electric cooperatives and other entities located at area sources that use these engines to maintain voltage and electric reliability. Many rural electric cooperatives enter agreements with owners of small emergency engines and rely on the engines to reduce demand on the central power supply during periods of high demand, which reduces the cost of power during periods of high demand for the members of the cooperative. Commenters promoting the continued use of peak shaving programs said that maintaining the cost ofPage 35 of 197 power as low as possible is important across the country, but is particularly of significant importance to rural electric cooperatives that, according to the commenter, service customers in the most economically depressed areas of the country, where options are the most limited. The commenters argued that if small emergency engines would no longer be permitted to operate for peak shaving purposes without having to be reclassified as non-emergency engines and subsequently subject to costly emissions controls, owners could no longer afford to participate in such programs. Cooperatives argued that this would lead to increased costs that would ultimately be passed along to the customers. Commenters also maintained that keeping peak shaving programs would not lead to additional public health risks or emissions because the operation for peak shaving is minimal. If peak shaving is not allowed under the rule, commenters said that this would lead to an increase in central power station capacity and possibly more transmission and distribution line capacity to accommodate the increase in demand resulting from eliminating small emergency engines from being used. This could lead to a larger impact on the environment and public health than allowing a small number of hours for peak shaving purposes. Certain small and remote facilities also rely on financial programs to generate additional income in order to maintain their engines and stay in operation. The additional funds can be essential forPage 36 of 197 many smaller facilities and operations. Providing a limited allowance for peak shaving and non-emergency demand response could generate sufficient income to prevent small facilities and owners from ceasing operation where these engines are in service. In order to further limit the operation of these engines to small, remote facilities, the EPA is proposing that the power generated under this allowance can only be used at the facility or towards the local system. In addition, while the EPA is proposing this allowance until the end of April 16, 2017, the EPA does not believe it is appropriate to continue the program beyond that time. Generators receive considerable compensation for their availability in peak shaving programs and the EPA believes that it is not appropriate to allow these engines to continue receiving compensation for this non-emergency use beyond 2017 without having to reduce their emissions. The generators must by that time decide whether to restrict their use to emergency or limited non-compensated non-emergency use or to reduce the emissions from their engines. The EPA also encourages engine owners and operators, as well as larger system planners, to consider the use of alternative peak shaving options, such as load curtailments, lower emitting distributed generation, combined heat and power, and reduced line losses on the electricity grid.Page 37 of 197 The previous estimate of emissions from stationary emergency engines is not expected to change due to this proposed limited allowance. To estimate emissions from stationary emergency engines, the EPA has previously estimated that emergency engines would on average operate for 50 hours per year. There is a wide range in how much these engines operate (some well below 50 hours per year), but on average and to be conservative, the EPA believes that 50 hours per year is still representative and consequently the environmental impact the EPA has calculated previously remains appropriate. In consideration of all these issues, the EPA is proposing amendments to the rule to provide a limited allowance for peak shaving for existing stationary emergency engines at area sources of HAP. The specific amendments the EPA is proposing are discussed below. 2. Proposed Amendments a. Emergency Demand Response. Based on the discussion in section II.B.1 of this preamble, the EPA is proposing to revise the current provisions for stationary engines used for emergency demand response operation. The provisions the EPA is proposing to amend are in §§63.6640(f) and 63.6675 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. Currently, §63.6640(f)(1)(iii) allows a maximum of 15 hours per year to be spent towards demand response operation under certain qualifying conditions. Also, §63.6640(f)(1)(ii) currently includes an allowance of 100 hours per year forPage 38 of 197 purposes of maintenance checks and readiness testing. The EPA is proposing that owners and operators of stationary emergency RICE be permitted to operate their engines as part of an emergency demand response program within the 100 hours per year that is permitted for maintenance and testing in §63.6640(f)(1)(ii). Owners and operators of stationary emergency engines can operate for emergency demand response during periods in which the regional transmission authority or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has declared an EEA Level 2 as defined in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Reliability Standard EOP-002-3, Capacity and Energy Emergency and during periods where there is a deviation of voltage or frequency of 5 percent or greater below standard voltage or frequency. The hours spent for emergency demand response operation are added to the hours spent for maintenance and testing purposes and counted towards the 100 hours per year. If the total time spent for demand response operation and maintenance and testing exceeds 100 hours per year the engine will not be considered an emergency engine under this subpart and will need to meet all requirements for non-emergency engines. The EPA is recognizing that these engines may be called to operate not only by the regional transmission operator or equivalent to maintain the reliability of the bulk power system,Page 39 of 197 but also by the local transmission and distribution system operators to support the local power systems. For stationary emergency engines above 500 HP that were installed prior to June 12, 2006, there is currently no emergency demand response allowance and there is no time limit on the use of emergency engines for routine testing and maintenance in §63.6640(f)(2)(ii). Those engines were not the focus of the 2010 RICE NESHAP amendments; therefore, the EPA did not make any changes to the requirements for those engines as part of the 2010 amendments. For consistency, the EPA is now also proposing that owners and operators of stationary emergency engines installed prior to June 12, 2006, be permitted to operate their engines as part of a demand response program as well for a total of 100 hours per year, including time spent for maintenance and testing. The EPA is also proposing to amend the NSPS for stationary CI and SI engines in 40 CFR part 60, subparts IIII and JJJJ, respectively, to provide the same allowance for stationary emergency engines for emergency demand response operation as for engines subject to the RICE NESHAP. The NSPS regulations currently do not include such an allowance for emergency demand response operation. For the reasons discussed in section II.B of this preamble as to why the EPA finds it appropriate to allow stationary emergency engines to participate in emergency demandPage 40 of 197 response programs and remain being considered emergency units, and for consistency across engine regulations, the EPA is proposing to add an emergency demand response allowance under the NSPS regulations. Consequently, the EPA is proposing to revise the existing language in §§60.4211(f) and 60.4219 of 40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII, and §§60.4243(d) and 60.4248 of 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ, to specify that emergency engines may participate in demand response programs for up to 100 hours per year, including hours spent towards maintenance and testing of the emergency engines. b. Peak Shaving and other Non-emergency Use as Part of a Financial Arrangement. In addition to the changes the EPA is proposing related to emergency demand response operation, the EPA is also including a further provision for owners and operators of existing stationary emergency RICE located at area

sources for the reasons discussed in section II.B.1 of this preamble. Paragraph §63.6640(f) currently allows owners and operators of emergency stationary RICE to operate their engine for 50 hours per year in non-emergency situations. As currently written, the 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an electric grid or otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity; except that owners and operators of certain emergency enginesPage 41 of 197 may operate the engine for a maximum of 15 hours per year as part of an emergency demand response program. As discussed, the 15 hours per year allowance for emergency engines to participate in emergency demand response programs is being increased to 100 hours per year, but will also include hours spent towards maintaining and conducting readiness testing of the emergency engines. However, additionally, the EPA is also proposing that stationary emergency engines located at area sources be permitted to apply the 50 hours per year that is currently allowed under §63.6640(f) for non-emergency operation towards any non-emergency operation, including operation as part of a financial agreement with another entity. The peak shaving allowance would expire in 2017. The EPA is specifying that the power can only be used at the facility or towards the local system, and the engine can only be operated for peak shaving as part of a program with the local distribution system operator. The EPA is also clarifying that an engine that exceeds the calendar year limitations on non-emergency operation, including emergency demand response or peak shaving, will be considered anon-emergency engine and subject to the requirements for nonemergency engines for the remaining life of the engine. C. Non-Emergency Stationary SI RICE Greater than 500 HP Located

at Area Sources 1. BackgroundPage 42 of 197 The EPA is also proposing to amend the requirements that apply to existing stationary non-emergency 4 stroke SI RICE greater than 500 HP located at area sources of HAP emissions, which are generally natural gas fired engines. Currently, the RICE NESHAP requires owners and operators of such engines to 1) either meet a CO concentration limit of 47 parts ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 or reduce emissions of CO by 93 percent or more, if the engines are 4SLB; and 2) to meet a formaldehyde concentration limit of 2.7 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 or reduce formaldehyde emissions by 76 percent or more, if the engines are 4SRB. In both cases, the EPA expects that the standards would be met using aftertreatment; oxidation catalysts for 4SLB engines and NSCR for 4SRB engines. In addition to these emission requirements, owners and operators of existing stationary 4- stroke engines greater than 500 HP at area sources are also subject to monitoring, testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. After the final requirements for existing stationary SI engines greater than 500 HP at area sources were published on August 20, 2010 (75 FR 51570), the EPA received petitions from Exterran (EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708-0581), the American Petroleum Institute (EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708-0582), the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708-0584), and the Gas Processors Association (EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708-0587)Page 43 of 197 requesting that the EPA reconsider the requirements of the final rule. The petitioners expressed many similar concerns. As relevant to this rulemaking, petitioners stated that the EPA did not take into account the difference in population density and subsequently did not consider the difference in health impacts in remote versus more heavily populated locations. In the petitioners’ opinion, there should be less concern about engines that are located farther away from people; the petitioners believed that the EPA has substantial latitude in requiring less stringent standards for owners and operators of stationary engines in remote areas.

While the EPA does not share all of the views of the petitioners regarding the difference between engines based on their location, the EPA does believe that it is reasonable to create a subcategory of existing stationary SI 4SLB and 4SRB engines above 500 HP located in areas remote from human activity. Engines located in remote areas that are not close to significant human activity may be difficult to access, may not have electricity or communications, and may be unmanned most of the time. The costs of the emission controls, testing, and continuous monitoring requirements may be unreasonable when compared to the HAP emission reductions that would be achieved, considering that the engines are in sparsely populated areas. The EPA believes that establishing a subcategory for SI enginesPage 44 of 197 at area sources of HAP located in sparsely populated areas accomplishes the agency’s goals and is adequate in protecting public health. The EPA is proposing to subcategorize sparsely populated engines using the existing DOT pipeline classification system. This system classifies locations based on their distance to pipelines covered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration safety regulations. The DOT system defines a class location unit as an onshore area that extends 220 yards or 200 meters on either side of the centerline of any continuous 1- mile (1.6 kilometers) length of pipeline. The DOT approach further classifies pipeline locations into Class 1 through Class 4 locations based on the number of buildings intended for human occupancy. A Class 1 location is defined as an offshore area or any class location unit that has 10 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy. Stakeholders from the oil and gas industryhave indicated to the EPA that the DOT system is wellestablished and there would be substantial overlap between engines affected by the rule and covered by the DOT pipeline classification system. Incorporating this approach would also

create harmonization between the EPA and DOT and would reduce the implementation and enforcement burden for states. Implementation for affected sources would also be less burdensome because the system is already in place and used byPage 45 of 197 industry and covers the majority of these engines. Stakeholders have indicated they are required to review the class location status of pipeline segments annually. The EPA believes this approach is reasonable for defining the subcategory of remote engines for those engines that are associated with DOT-regulated pipelines. For those engines not associated with pipelines, the EPA is using similar criteria. An engine would be considered to be in sparsely populated areas if within 0.25 mile radius of the engine there are 5 or fewer buildings intended for human

occupancy. The EPA is proposing management practices as generally available control technologies for existing stationary SI 4SLB and 4SRB area source non-emergency engines located in sparsely populated areas. Given the remote location of the engines from human activity, the EPA believes that it is appropriate not to include requirements that would necessitate aftertreatment and extensive testing and monitoring. The EPA has previously estimated that the costs of oxidation catalyst for existing 4SLB and 4SRB engines above 500 HP at area sources are $310 and $150 million, for capital and annual costs, respectively. The capital and annual costs of the RICE NESHAP for existing 4SLB and 4SRB engines above 500 HP at area sources would be $30 million and $12 million, respectively, if these proposed amendments are incorporated into the rule. Creating a subcategory of thesePage 46 of 197 engines for the ones located in sparsely populated areas and not mandating emission controls would significantly reduce the cost of the rule for such engines.For existing stationary SI 4SLB and 4SRB area source nonemergency engines that are located in populated areas, the EPA is proposing an equipment standard that requires the installation and operation of a catalyst that will have to be tested initially and annually to ensure that the catalyst is working properly and reducing emissions as required. In addition, these units will be required to have devices to shut down the engine if the catalyst is exposed to dangerous temperatures or have continuous monitoring equipment installed to record catalyst inlet temperatures. The EPA is proposing shorter test duration and less rigorous methods than currently required while still ensuring that HAP reductions remain at expected levels for these engines located in populated areas. The specific amendments the EPA is proposing are discussed

below. 2. Proposed Amendments Owners and operators of engines in sparsely populated areas would have to conduct a review of the surrounding area every 12 months to determine if the nearby population has changed. If the engine no longer meets the criteria for a sparsely populated area the owner and operator must within 1Page 47 of 197 year comply with the emission standards specified below for populated areas. Owners and operators of existing stationary 4SLB and 4SRB greater than 500 HP at area sources that are in sparsely populated areas as described above would be required to perform the following:

 Change oil and filter every 1,440 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first;

 Inspect spark plugs every 1,440 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as necessary;

and

 Inspect all hoses and belts every 1,440 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as

necessary. Sources have the option to use an oil analysis program as described in §63.6625(i) of the rule in order to extend the specified oil change requirement. The oil analysis must be performed at the same frequency specified for changing the oil in Table 2d of the rule. The analysis program must at a minimum analyze the following three parameters: Total Acid Number, viscosity, and percent water content. The condemning limits for these parameters are as follows: Total Acid Number increases by more than 3.0 milligrams of potassium hydroxide per gram from Total Acid Number of the oil when new; viscosity of the oil has changed by more than 20 percent from the viscosity of the oilPage 48 of 197 when new; or percent water content (by volume) is greater than 0.5. If all of these condemning limits are not exceeded, the engine owner or operator is not required to change the oil. If any of the limits are exceeded, the engine owner or operator must change the oil within 2 days of receiving the results of the analysis; if the engine is not in operation when the results of the analysis are received, the engine owner or operator must change the oil within 2 days or before commencing operation, whichever is later. The owner or operator must keep records of the parameters that are analyzed as part of the program, the results of the analysis, and the oil changes for the engine. The analysis program must be part of the maintenance plan for the engine. Owners and operators of existing stationary 4SLB and 4SRB area source engines above 500 HP in sparsely populated areas would also have to operate and maintain the stationary RICE and aftertreatment control device (if any) according to the manufacturer's emission-related written instructions or develop their own maintenance plan which must provide to the extent practicable for the maintenance and operation of the engine in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing emissions. For engines in populated areas, i.e., existing stationary 4SLB and 4SRB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP at areaPage 49 of 197 sources that are located on DOT Class 2 through Class 4 pipeline segments or, for engines not associated with pipelines, that do not meet the 0.25 mile radius with 5 or less buildings criteria, the EPA is proposing to adopt an equipment standard requiring the installation of a catalyst to reduce HAP emissions. Owners and operators of existing area source 4SLB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP in populated areas would be required to install an oxidation catalyst. Owners and operators of existing area source 4SRB non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP in populated areas would be required to install NSCR. Owners and operators must conduct an initial test to demonstrate that the engine achieves at least a 93 percent reduction in CO emissions or a CO concentration level of 47 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 , if the engine is a 4SLB engine. Similarly, owners and operators must conduct an initial performance test to demonstrate that the engine achieves at least a 75 percent CO reduction or a 30 percent THC reduction, if the engine is a 4SRB engine. The

initial test must consist of three test runs. Each test run must be of at least 15 minute duration, except that each test run conducted using the proposed appendix A to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ must consist of one measurement cycle as defined by the method and include at least 2 minutes of test data phase measurement. To measure CO, emission sources must use the CO methods already specified in subpart ZZZZ, or the proposedPage 50 of 197 appendix A to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. The THC testing must be conducted using EPA Method 25A. The owner or operator of both engine types must also use a high temperature shutdown device that detects if the catalyst inlet temperature is too high, or, alternatively, the owner or operator can monitor the catalyst inlet temperature continuously and maintain the temperature within the range specified in the rule. For 4SLB engines the catalyst inlet temperature must remain at or above 450°F and at or below 1,350°F. For 4SRB engines the temperature range must be greater than or equal to 750°F and less than or equal to 1,250°F at the catalyst inlet. Owners and operators must in addition to the initial performance test conduct annual checks of the catalyst to ensure proper catalyst activity. The annual check of the catalyst must at a minimum consist of one 15-minute run using the methods discussed above, except that each test run conducted using the proposed appendix A to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ must consist of one measurement cycle as defined by the method and include at least 2 minutes of test data phase measurement. Owners and operators of 4SLB engines must demonstrate during the catalyst activity test that the catalyst achieves at least a 93 percent reduction in CO emissions or that the engine exhaust CO emissions are no more than 47 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 . Owners and operators of 4SRB engines must demonstrate that their catalystPage 51 of 197 is reducing CO emissions by 75 percent or more, or alternatively, that THC emissions are being reduced by at least 30 percent during the catalyst activity check. If the emissions from the engine do not exceed the levels required for the initial test or annual checks of the catalyst, then the catalyst is considered to be working properly. If the emissions exceed the specified pollutant levels in the rule, the exceedance(s) is/are not considered a violation, but the owner or operator would be required to shut down the engine and take appropriate corrective action (e.g., repairs, clean or replace the catalyst, as appropriate). A follow-up test must be conducted within 7 days of the engine being started up again to demonstrate that the emission levels are being met. If the retest shows that the emissions continue to exceed the specified levels, the stationary RICE must again be shut down as soon as safely possible, and the engine may not operate, except for purposes of start-up and testing, until the owner/operator demonstrates through testing that the emissions do not exceed the levels specified. D. Stationary Agricultural RICE in San Joaquin Valley In the 2010 amendments to the RICE NESHAP, the EPA required existing non-emergency CI engines above 300 HP to meet a standard of either 70 percent reduction of CO emissions or 49 ppmvd CO, for engines between 300 and 500 HP, or 23 ppmvd CO forPage 52 of 197 engines above 500 HP. The requirements also included testing and monitoring provisions. As with all requirements for existing engines in that rule, owners and operators were required to meet the requirements within 3 years of the effective date of the regulations (May 3, 2013). Since the finalization of the rule for existing stationary CI engines, stakeholders from the agricultural industry in the San Joaquin Valley area of California have expressed concern regarding the effect of certain of these requirements on engines in the San Joaquin Valley. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (APCD) has indicated that there are 17 stationary CI engines at area sources in San Joaquin Valley certified to the Tier 3 standards in 40 CFR part 89 that were installed between January 1 and June 12, 2006. Under the NESHAP, stationary CI engines at area sources are existing if construction of the engine commenced prior to June 12, 2006. These 17 Tier 3 engines in the San Joaquin Valley, which were built to meet stringent emission standards, would not be able to comply with the applicable RICE NESHAP emission standards for existing engines without further testing and monitoring, and possible retrofit with further controls, due to differences in the emission standards and testing protocols in the RICE NESHAP versus the Tier 3 standards in 40 CFR part 89. However, an identical engine certified to the Tier 3 standards (or Tier 2Page 53 of 197 standards for engines above 560 kilowatts (kW)) in 40 CFR part 89 that was installed after June 12, 2006, would not have to be retrofit in order to comply with the NESHAP. Stationary CI engines installed after June 12, 2006, at area sources of HAP are required to comply with the NSPS for stationary CI engines, which requires engines to be certified to the standards in 40 CFR parts 89, 94, 1039, and 1042, as applicable. Thus, a 2006 model year stationary CI engine installed after June 12, 2006, that is certified to the applicable standards would meet the requirements of the NESHAP without further controls or testing. While the EPA does not know if other certified Tier 3 engines besides these 17 engines in the San Joaquin Valley were installed prior to June 12, 2006, EPA believes the same rationale should apply to any such engine. The EPA believes that the Tier 3 standards (Tier 2 for engines above 560 kW) are technologically stringent regulations and believes it is unnecessary to require further regulation of engines meeting these standards. Engines meeting the Tier 3 standards typically employed emission control technologies such as combustion optimization and better fuel control to meet the Tier 3 standards. In order to address the concerns raised by the engine owners in the San Joaquin Valley, the EPA is proposing changes to amend the requirements for any certified Tier 3 (Tier 2 for engines above 560 kW) stationary CI engine located at anPage 54 of 197 area source and installed before June 12, 2006. The EPA is proposing amendments to specify that any existing certified Tier 3 (Tier 2 for engines above 560 kW) CI engine that was installed before June 12, 2006, is in compliance with the NESHAP. This amendment would include any existing stationary Tier 3 (Tier 2 for engines above 560 kW) certified CI engine located at an area

source of HAP emissions. Another concern brought to the EPA’s attention by the San Joaquin Valley agricultural industry is that due to state and local requirements in the San Joaquin Valley, many of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 stationary CI engines that are regulated as existing sources under the NESHAP must be replaced in the next few years, only a short time after the emission standards for existing engines must be met. Specifically, the San Joaquin Valley APCD rule for internal combustion engines (Rule 4702) requires Tier 1 and Tier 2 certified engines to meet Tier 4 standards by January 1, 2015, or 12 years after the installation date, but no later than June 1, 2018. The concern is that owners and operators of these engines would have to install aftertreatment by 2013 to meet the emission standards of the RICE NESHAP and then only a few years later be required to replace their engines per San Joaquin Valley APCD Rule 4702. The San Joaquin Valley APCD has identified 49 Tier 1 engines and 360 Tier 2 engines that are scheduled to be replaced under the local rule. The EPA has notPage 55 of 197 identified any engines outside the San Joaquin Valley APCD area that are in the same or similar situation (i.e., required to be replaced shortly after the compliance date for existing engines), but the EPA does not preclude the possibility that there are such engines in other areas, and requests comment and information on other areas that may have similar concerns. The EPA does not think it is appropriate to require emission controls on a stationary CI engine that is going to be retired only a short time after the rule goes into effect. Stationary CI engines would have to comply with this rule by May 3, 2013, and owners of engines above 300 HP are expected to have to install aftertreatment on their engines in order to meet the

emission standards. The EPA estimates that the one-time cost to equip a 500 HP stationary CI engine with the controls necessary

to meet the emission standards under this rule is close to $14,000 and more than $3,000 on a yearly basis, not accounting for additional costs associated with monitoring, testing, recordkeeping and reporting. These engines (equipped with aftertreatment) could end up being in operation for less than 2 years or at most only 5 years before having to be replaced with a certified Tier 4 engine, as required by San Joaquin Valley District Rule 4702. It would not be reasonable to require the engine owner to invest in costly controls and monitoringPage 56 of 197 equipment for an engine that will be replaced shortly after the

installation of the controls. Consequently, the EPA is proposing amendments to existing stationary CI engines located at area sources of HAP emissions to address this concern. The EPA is proposing to amend the requirements for existing stationary Tier 1 and Tier 2 certified CI engines located at area sources that are greater than 300 HP that are subject to a state or local rule that requires the engine to be replaced. The EPA is proposing to allow these engines to meet management practices for a period of 2 years starting with the applicable May 3, 2013, compliance date. The EPA believes a period of 2 years is appropriate and provides owners enough time to replace their engines without mandating a possibly cost prohibitive requirement to change all of the engines in a short amount of time, while still requiring that replacement of the engine or a retrofit of the engine occur relatively quickly after the owner would have to comply with the NESHAP. The EPA is proposing that these engines be subject to management practices until May 3, 2015, after which time the CO emission standards discussed above (and that are in Table 2d of the rule) apply. The management practices include requirements for when to inspect and replace the engine oil and filter, air cleaner, hoses and belts. The complete details of which management practices are required are shown in Table 2d of thePage 57 of 197 rule. Owners and operators of these existing stationary CI engines located at area sources of HAP emissions that intend to meet management practices rather than the emission limits prior to May 3, 2015, must submit a notification by March 3, 2013, stating that they intend to use this provision and identifying the state or local regulation that the engine is subject to.

E. Remote Areas of Alaska 1. Background The RICE NESHAP currently specifies less stringent requirements for existing non-emergency CI engines at area

sources located in remote areas of Alaska. Remote areas are defined as those not accessible by the FAHS. The FAHS includes areas with year-round ferry service that are not on the contiguous road system. Under the current regulation, stationary non-emergency CI engines at area sources in areas of Alaska that are not accessible by the FAHS are subject to management practices as opposed to numerical emission standards. Following the publication of the final rule in 2010, the EPA received requests to expand the definition of remote areas

of Alaska. Stakeholders asserted that facilities in areas that are accessible by the FAHS but are not connected to the Alaska Railbelt grid face the same challenges as those in areas not accessible by the FAHS. The Alaska Railbelt Grid refers to the service areas of the six regulated public utilities that extendPage 58 of 197 from Fairbanks to Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula. These utilities are the Golden Valley Electric Association, Chugach Electric Association, Matanuska Electric Association, Homer Electric Association, Anchorage Municipal Light & Power, and the City of Seward Electric System. According to the stakeholders, one reason for broadening the definition of remote areas in Alaska is high energy costs, which provide a natural incentive to run CI engines as little as possible. The cost of energy is utilities’ greatest concern in Alaska. Also, the stakeholders

indicated that extreme weather conditions in certain areas of Alaska is another reason for including additional areas in the

definition of remote areas of Alaska. The climate issue is unique to remote areas of Alaska that experience some of the most extreme temperatures in the country. Heavy snowfall and high winds are not uncommon in several areas that are accessible by the FAHS. For instance, Copper Valley Electric Association (CVEA) is a utility accessible by the FAHS, but it includes areas that face the same challenges as other communities not accessible by the FAHS. The utility operates on an isolated grid and relies on diesel power generation. In one of CVEA’s territories, Valdez, Alaska, CVEA indicated that this area experiences brutal conditions and stated that Valdez is considered to have the greatest snowfall (326 inches per winter) in any city of the United States. Also, winds at more than 100Page 59 of 197 miles per hour are not uncommon for Valdez, Alaska, according to CVEA. Temperatures between 40 and 50 below zero are also not abnormal, which emphasizes the extreme reliance on power, CVEA asserted. Travel times and accessibility are issues on a regular basis, but can be additionally exacerbated due to severe weather, which in some cases may lead to avalanches and road closings. In particular, even if a site is on the FAHS, in the event of poor weather conditions and road closings, there are in many cases no alternate roads to travel on. Further, access to specific isolated sites can also be problematic in particular remote areas of Alaska and the problems are unique to Alaska because of the infrastructure and environment. For example, communities made the case that sources along the AMHS that are only accessible by the AMHS should be treated the same way as communities not accessible by the FAHS. The AMHS primarily serves passengers and vehicles, and is not intended for transporting goods. Therefore, the same methods used to bring in goods to communities not on the FAHS are the same as those Alaskan villages served only by the AMHS. Goods are typically brought in to remote communities by barge and this is another example of a scenario that is unique to Alaska. Other arguments for expanding the definition of remote areas of Alaska beyond those not accessible by the FAHS include very low population density in many other remote areas although accessible by thePage 60 of 197 FAHS, and the fact that many of these areas are not connected to the electric grid and rely on back up diesel generation to support fluctuating renewable energy systems. The energy supply system is another area that is particularly different in Alaska compared to the rest of the country where the majority of customers are connected to the grid. Therefore, for the reasons discussed, the EPA is proposing expansion of the remote area source category. This proposal is supported by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and communities with

whom the EPA has discussed this issue. 2. Proposed Amendments The EPA is proposing to expand the current definition of remote areas of Alaska to extend beyond areas that are not accessible by the FAHS. Specifically, the EPA is proposing that areas of Alaska that are accessible by the FAHS and that meet all of the following criteria are also considered remote and subject to management practices under the rule:

 The stationary CI engine is located in an area not connected to the Alaska Railbelt Grid,

 At least 10 percent of the power generated by the engine per year is used for residential purposes, and

 The system capacity is less than 12 megawatts, or the engine is used exclusively for backup power for renewablePage 61 of 197 energy and is used less than 500 hours per year on a 10- year rolling average. The EPA is proposing limiting the remote classification to engines that are used at least partially for residential purposes, where the impact of higher energy costs is of greatest

concern. The classification is further limited to sources that are used infrequently as backup for renewable power, or that are at smaller capacity facilities, which are generally in more sparsely populated areas.

F. Miscellaneous Corrections and Revisions The EPA is making some minor corrections to the stationary engine rules to address miscellaneous issues. The EPA is making

some minor revisions in the rules to correct mistakes in the current rules or to clarify the rules. The revisions are as

follows:

 Revising Tables 1b and 2b of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ to correct language requiring the pressure drop to be at plus or minus 10 percent 100 percent load for all engines. The engines that were regulated in 2010 are not subject to the load requirements and therefore the EPA is correcting

these tables to make this clear.

 Adding a footnote to Table 1b of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ stating that sources can petition the AdministratorPage 62 of 197 for a different temperature range consistent with Table 2b

of the rule.

 Correcting rows 8 and 10 in Table 2d of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ to indicate that the requirements apply to non-emergency, non-black start stationary RICE greater than 500 HP that are 4SLB and 4SRB that operate more than 24 hours per year, as intended in the original rule.

 Revising the language in §63.6625(b) of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ that states “...in paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of this section” to “in paragraphs (b)(1) through (6)

of this section.”

 Changing Tables 2c and 2d of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ, where it currently specifies to inspect air cleaner, to also specify that it must be replaced as necessary.

 Revising §63.6620(b) of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ to indicate that testing must be conducted within plus or minus 10 percent of 100 percent load for stationary RICE greater than 500 HP located at a major source (except existing non-emergency CI stationary RICE greater than 500 HP located at a major source) that are subject to testing.

 Specifying that, as was intended in the rule adding these requirements, the operating limitations (pressure drop andPage 63 of 197 catalyst inlet temperature) in Tables 1b and 2b of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ do not have to be met during startup.

 For consistency, and as provided in the original RICE NESHAP for other stationary RICE, clarifying in 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ that the existing stationary RICE regulated in 2010 (i.e., engines constructed before June 12, 2006 that are less than or equal to 500 HP located at major sources or engines located at area sources) must burn landfill or digester gas equivalent to 10 percent or more of the gross heat input on an annual basis in order to qualify as a landfill or digester gas engine under the

rule.

 Clarifying §60.4207(b) of 40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII to specify that owners and operators of stationary CI engines less than 30 liters per cylinder that are subject to the subpart that use diesel fuel must use diesel fuel that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 80.510(b), except owners and operators may use up any diesel fuel acquired prior to October 1, 2010, that does not meet the requirements of 40 CFR 80.510(b) for nonroad diesel fuel.

 Adding appendix A to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ, which includes procedures that can be used for measuring CO emissions from existing stationary 4SLB and 4SRB stationary

RICE above 500 HP located at area sources of HAP that arePage 64 of 197 complying with the emission limits in Table 2d of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ.

 Reinstating the footnotes for Table 2 of 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ. The footnotes were inadvertently removed when the rule was amended on June 28, 2011 (76 FR 37954).

 Adding “part 60” in Table 4 of the NESHAP, in row 2 where it refers to 40 CFR appendix A.

 Clarifying in §63.6625(a) of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ that a continuous emission monitoring system is only required to be installed at the outlet of the control device for engines that are complying with the requirement

to limit the concentration of CO.

 Clarifying that, as was intended in the rule adding these requirements, all of the standards for stationary SI RICE in §60.4231(b) of 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ are for stationary SI RICE that use gasoline.

 Clarifying that, as was intended in the rule adding these requirements, all of the standards for stationary SI RICE in §60.4231(c) of 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ are for stationary SI RICE that are rich burn engines that use LPG.

 Clarifying that, as was intended in the rule adding these requirements, all of the standards for stationary SI RICE in §60.4231(d) of 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ are forPage 65 of 197 stationary SI RICE that are not gasoline engines or rich burn engines that use LPG. G. Compliance Date The EPA has received questions regarding whether the compliance dates for engines impacted by the 2010 amendments and this proposed reconsideration will be extended. Affected sources that may be impacted by this action have expressed concern about having sufficient time to comply with the rule by the compliance date, which is May 3, 2013, for existing stationary CI RICE and October 19, 2013, for existing stationary SI RICE. Sources impacted by this reconsideration are particularly concerned with compliance in the event that the EPA does not finalize changes that are substantially similar to the changes being proposed in this action. The EPA does not intend to extend the May 3, 2013, and October 19, 2013, compliance dates, because there are many engines that must meet those compliance dates that are not impacted by this reconsideration. However, the EPA notes that sources that are affected by the reconsideration and that may need additional time to install controls to comply with the applicable requirements can request up to an additional year to install controls, as specified in 40 CFR 63.6(i). **III. Summary of Environmental, Energy and Economic Impacts**

A. What are the air quality impacts?Page 66 of 197 The EPA estimates that the rule with the proposed amendments incorporated will reduce emissions from existing stationary RICE as shown in Table 1 of this preamble. The emissions reductions the EPA previously estimated for the 2010 amendments to the RICE NESHAP are shown for comparison. Reductions are shown for the year 2013, which is the first year the final RICE NESHAP will be implemented for existing stationary RICE. **Table 1. Summary of Reductions for Existing Stationary RICE**

The EPA estimates that more than 900,000 stationary CI engines will be subject to the rule in total, but only a small number of stationary CI engines are affected by the proposed amendments in this action. It is estimated that approximately 330,000 stationary SI engines will be subject to the rule in total; however, only a subset of stationary SI engines are affected by the proposed amendments in this action. The decrease in estimated reductions for SI engines is primarily due toPage 67 of 197 proposed amendments to the requirements for existing 4SRB and 4SLB SI engines larger than 500 HP at area sources of HAP that are in remote areas. Those engines were required by the 2010 rule to meet emission limits that were expected to require the installation of aftertreatment to reduce emissions; under these proposed amendments, those engines are required to meet management practices that would not require the installation of aftertreatment. Further information regarding the estimated

reductions of this final rule can be found in the memorandum titled, “RICE NESHAP Reconsideration Amendments - Cost andEnvironmental Impacts,” which is available in the docket (EPAHQ-OAR-2008-0708). The EPA did not estimate any reductions associated with the minor changes to the NSPS for stationary CI and SI engines. B. What are the cost impacts? The proposed amendments are expected to reduce the overall cost of the original 2010 RICE NESHAP amendments. The EPA estimates that with these proposed amendments incorporated the cost of the rule for existing stationary RICE will be as shown in Table 2 of this preamble. The costs the EPA previously

estimated for the 2010 amendments to the RICE NESHAP are shown for comparison. **Table 2. Summary of Cost Impacts for Existing Stationary RICE Engine**  **2 010 Final Rule with these** Page 68 of 197 **2 010 Final Rule**  **P roposed Amendments** 

**T otal Annual Cost**  **SI** $253 million ($2009) $115 million ($2010) **CI** $373 million ($2008) $373 million ($2010) **T otal Capital Cost**  **SI** $383 million ($2009) $103 million ($2010) **CI** $744 million ($2008) $740 million ($2010) Further information regarding the estimated cost impacts of the proposed amendments, including the cost of the proposed amendments in 2010 dollars, can be found in the memorandum titled, “RICE NESHAP Reconsideration Amendments - Cost andEnvironmental Impacts,” which is available in the docket (EPAHQ-OAR-2008-0708). The EPA did not estimate costs associated with the changes to the NSPS for stationary CI and SI engines. The changes to the NSPS are minor and are not expected to impact

the costs of those rules.

C. What are the benefits? Emission controls installed to meet the requirements of these rules will generate benefits by reducing emissions of HAP as well as criteria pollutants and their precursors, including CO, NOx and VOC. NOx and VOC are precursors to PM 2.5 (particles smaller than 2.5 microns) and ozone. The criteria pollutant

benefits are considered co-benefits for these rules. For these rules, we were only able to quantify the health co-benefits associated with reduced exposure to PM 2.5 from emission reductions of NOx and directly emitted PM 2.5 .Page 69 of 197 The EPA previously estimated that the monetized co-benefits in 2013 of the stationary CI NESHAP would be $940 million to $2,300 million (2008 dollars) at a 3-percent discount rate and $850 million to $2,100 million (2008 dollars) at a 7-percent

discount rate. 5 For stationary SI engines, EPA previously estimated that the monetized co-benefits in 2013 would be $510 million to $1,200 million (2009 dollars) at a 3-percent discount rate) and $460 million to $1,100 million (2009 dollars) at a 7- percent discount rate. 6 The proposed amendments are expected to reduce the overall emission reductions of the rules. In addition to revising the anticipated emission reductions, we have also updated the methodology used to calculate the co-benefits to be consistent with methods used in more recent rulemakings, which is summarized below and discussed in more detail in the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA). We estimate the monetized co-benefits of the proposed amendments of the CI NESHAP in 2013 to be $770 million to $1,900 million (2010 dollars) at a 3-percent discount

For SI engines, we estimate the monetized co-benefits of the proposed amendments in 2013 to be $62 million to $150 million (2010 dollars) at a 3-percent discount rate and $55 million to $140 million (2010 dollars) at a 7-percent

discount rate. Using alternate relationships between PM 2.5 and premature mortality supplied by experts, higher and lower co-benefits estimates are plausible, but most of the expert-based estimates

fall between these two estimates. 7 A summary of the monetized cobenefits estimates for CI and SI engines at discount rates of 3 percent and 7 percent is in Table 3 of this preamble. Table 3. Summary of the Monetized PM 2.5 Co-Benefits for Proposed Amendments to the NESHAP for Stationary CI and SI Engines (millions of 2010 dollars) a

a All estimates are for the analysis year (2013) and are rounded to two significant figures so numbers may not sum across rows. The total monetized co-benefits reflect the human health benefits associated with reducing exposure to PM 2.5 through reductions of PM 2.5 precursors, such as NO X and directly emitted

7 Roman, et al. , 2008. Expert Judgment Assessment of the Mortality Impact of Changes in Ambient Fine Particulate Matter in the U.S. , Environ. Sci. Technol., 42, 7, 2268 – 2274.Page 71 of 197

PM 2.5 . It is important to note that the monetized co-benefits do not include reduced health effects from exposure to HAP, direct exposure to NO 2 , exposure to ozone, ecosystem effects or visibility impairment. b PM co-benefits are shown as a range from Pope, et al. (2002) to Laden, et al. (2006). These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because the scientific evidence is not yet sufficient to allow differentiation of effects estimates by particle type. These co-benefits estimates represent the total monetized human health benefits for populations exposed to less PM 2.5 in 2013 from controls installed to reduce air pollutants in order

to meet these rules. To estimate human health co-benefits of these rules, the EPA used benefit-per-ton factors to quantify the changes in PM 2.5 -related health impacts and monetized benefits based on changes in directly emitted PM 2.5 and NOx emissions. These benefit-per-ton factors were derived using the general approach and methodology laid out in Fann, Fulcher, and Hubbell (2009). 8 This approach uses a model to convert emissions

of PM 2.5 precursors into changes in ambient PM 2.5 levels and another model to estimate the changes in human health associated with that change in air quality, which are then divided by the emission reductions to create the benefit-per-ton estimates. However, for these rules, we utilized source apportionment air quality modeling of emissions in the “Non-EGU Point other”

8 Fann, N., C.M. Fulcher, B.J. Hubbell. 2009. The influence of location, source, and emission type in estimates of the human health benefits of reducing a ton of air pollution . Air Qual Atmos Health (2009) 2:169–176.Page 72 of 197 category because we do not have modeling specifically for stationary engines. 9 We apply these national benefit-per-ton estimates calculated for this sector separately for directly

emitted PM 2.5 and NOx and multiply them by the corresponding emission reductions. The sector-specific modeling does not provide estimates of the PM 2.5 -related benefits associated with reducing VOC emissions, but these unquantified benefits are generally small compared to other PM 2.5 precursors. More information regarding the derivation of the benefit-per-ton estimates for this category is available in the technical support document, which is available in the docket. These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because the scientific evidence is not yet sufficient to allow differentiation of effects estimates by particle type. The main PM 2.5 precursors affected by these rules are directly emitted PM 2.5 and NO X . Even though we assume that allfine particles have equivalent health effects, the benefit-perton estimates vary between precursors depending on the location and magnitude of their impact on PM 2.5 levels, which drive population exposure. For example, directly emitted PM 2.5 has a lower benefit-per-ton estimate than direct PM 2.5 because it does

. Research Triangle Park, NC.Page 73 of 197 not form as much PM 2.5 ; thus, the exposure would be lower, and

the monetized health benefits would be lower. It is important to note that the magnitude of the PM 2.5 cobenefits is largely driven by the concentration response function for premature mortality. Experts have advised the EPA to consider a variety of assumptions, including estimates based both on empirical (epidemiological) studies and judgments elicited from scientific experts, to characterize the uncertainty in the relationship between PM 2.5 concentrations and premature mortality. We cite two key empirical studies, one based on the American Cancer Society cohort study 10 and the extended Six Cities cohort study. 11 In the RIA for this proposed amendments rule, which is available in the docket, we also include benefits estimates derived from the expert judgments and other assumptions.

The EPA strives to use the best available science to support our benefits analyses. We recognize that interpretation of the science regarding air pollution and health is dynamic and evolving. After reviewing the scientific literature, we have determined that the no-threshold model is the most appropriate

10 Pope, et al. , 2002. Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution

. Journal of the American Medical Association 287:1132-1141. 11 Laden, et al. , 2006. Reduction in Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality . American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine 173: 667-672.Page 74 of 197 model for assessing the mortality benefits associated with reducing PM 2.5 exposure. Consistent with this finding, we have conformed the previous threshold sensitivity analysis to the current state of the PM science by incorporating a new “Lowest Measured Level” (LML) assessment in the RIA accompanying these rules. While an LML assessment provides some insight into the level of uncertainty in the estimated PM mortality benefits, the

EPA does not view the LML as a threshold and continues to quantify PM-related mortality impacts using a full range of modeled air quality concentrations.

Most of the estimated PM-related co-benefits for these rules would accrue to populations exposed to higher levels of

PM 2.5 . For this analysis, policy-specific air quality data are not available due to time or resource limitations, and thus, we are unable to estimate the percentage of premature mortality associated with this specific rule’s emission reductions at each

PM 2.5 level. As a surrogate measure of mortality impacts, we provide the percentage of the population exposed at each PM 2.5 level using the source apportionment modeling used to calculate the benefit-per-ton estimates for this sector. Using the Pope,

et al. (2002) study, 77 percent of the population is exposed to

annual mean PM 2.5 levels at or above the LML of 7.5 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m 3 ). Using the Laden, et al. (2006) study, 25 percent of the population is exposed above the LML of 10 μg/m 3

.Page 75 of 197 It is important to emphasize that we have high confidence in

PM 2.5 -related effects down to the lowest LML of the major cohort studies. This fact is important, because, as we model avoided premature deaths among populations exposed to levels of PM 2.5 , we have lower confidence in levels below the LML for each study. Every benefit analysis examining the potential effects of a change in environmental protection requirements is limited, to some extent, by data gaps, model capabilities (such as geographic coverage) and uncertainties in the underlying scientific and economic studies used to configure the benefit and cost models. Despite these uncertainties, we believe the benefit analysis for these rules provides a reasonable indication of the expected health benefits of the rulemaking under a set of reasonable assumptions. This analysis does not include the type of detailed uncertainty assessment found in the

2006 PM 2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) RIA because we lack the necessary air quality input and monitoring data to run the benefits model. In addition, we have not conducted air quality modeling for these rules, and using a benefit-per-ton approach adds another important source of uncertainty to the benefits estimates. The 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS benefits analysis 12 provides an indication of the sensitivity of

12 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2006. Proposed amendments Regulatory Impact Analysis: PM 2.5 NAAQS . Prepared byPage 76 of 197 our results to various assumptions.

It should be noted that the monetized co-benefits estimates provided above do not include benefits from several important benefit categories, including exposure to HAP, NOx, ozone exposure, as well as ecosystem effects and visibility impairment. Although we do not have sufficient information or modeling available to provide monetized estimates for these proposed amendments, we include a qualitative assessment of these unquantified benefits in the RIA for these proposed

amendments. For more information on the benefits analysis, please refer to the RIA for these proposed amendments, which is available in

the docket. D. What are the non-air health, environmental and energy impacts? The EPA does not anticipate any significant non-air health, environmental or energy impacts as a result of these proposed

amendments. **IV. Solicitation of Public Comments and Participation** The EPA seeks full public participation in arriving at its final decisions, and strongly encourages comments on all aspects of this proposed rule from all interested parties. Whenever

.Page 77 of 197 applicable, full supporting data and detailed analysis should be

submitted to allow the EPA to make maximum use of the comments. The agency invites all parties to coordinate their data collection activities with the EPA to facilitate mutually

beneficial and cost-effective data submissions. A redline/strikeout version of the complete NESHAP for stationary RICE, which shows the changes that are being proposed in this action, is available from the rulemaking docket. The EPA is seeking specific comment on the proposal to temporarily allow stationary emergency engines located at area sources to apply the 50 hours per year that is currently allowed under §63.6640(f) for non-emergency operation towards any typeof non-emergency operation, including peak shaving and nonemergency demand response if the peak shaving is done as part of a peak shaving (load management) program with the local distribution system operator. The EPA is proposing that the allowance be removed after April 16, 2017. The EPA recognizes that the electricity grid achieves demand response and grid stability with and without the use of emergency stationary RICE. Alternative approaches include reductions or shifts in energy use, electricity storage, distribution automation, microgrids, natural gas-fired combustion turbines, and grid-connected distributed generation, including non-emergency engines and combined heat and power.Page 78 of 197 Many of these approaches can provide additional benefits, such as additional energy efficiency, lower costs, shorter electricity outage times, and better integration of renewable energy generation into the electricity grid. Several studies project a significant future potential for using less energy in homes, buildings, and industry during times of peak electricity demand. The EPA seeks comment on how these investments may affect the number of hours which emergency stationary RICE are needed in the future to address electricity peak shaving and grid stability. The EPA is also specifically seeking comment on the proposed criteria for expanding the current definition of remote areas of Alaska beyond areas that are not accessible by the FAHS. The EPA requests comment on whether the proposed system capacity limitation of 12 megawatts and the alternative 500 hour cap on annual usage (based on a 10-year rolling average) are the appropriate criteria for distinguishing the areas of Alaska that, while accessible by the FAHS, have the same unique challenges as the areas that are not accessible by the FAHS. The EPA is also seeking information related to irrigation pump engine sizes. During the 2010 rulemaking, the EPA relied upon several sources to determine the potential number of irrigation engines that may be impacted by the rule. Using these sources, the EPA estimated that the vast majority of thePage 79 of 197 existing irrigation engines were less than or equal to 300 HP. The EPA received several comments confirming this estimation. The EPA seeks comprehensive, nationwide information on the size of existing irrigation engines to either confirm or refute our understanding of existing irrigation engine sizes; this information will assist EPA in assessing the impacts of the 2010 rule on existing irrigation engines. **V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews** A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory

Review Under section 3(f)(1) of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is an “economically significant regulatory action” because it is likely to have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. Accordingly, the EPA submitted this action to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011), and any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket for this action. In addition, the EPA prepared a RIA of the potential costs and benefits

associated with this action. A summary of the monetized benefits, compliance costs and net benefits for the proposed amendments to the stationary CIPage 80 of 197 engines NESHAP at discount rates of 3 percent and 7 percent is in Table 4 of this preamble. The summary for stationary SI engines is included in Table 5 of this preamble. Table 4. Summary of the Monetized Benefits, Compliance Costs and Net benefits for the Proposed Amendments to the Stationary CI Engine NESHAP in 2013 (millions of 2010 dollars) a 3-Percent Discount Rate 7-Percent Discount Rate Total Monetized Benefits b $770 to $1,900 $690 to $1,700 Total Compliance Costs c $373 $373 Net Benefits $400 to $1,500 $320 to $1,300

Non-Monetized Benefits Health effects from exposure to HAP Health effects from direct exposure to NO 2 and ozone Health effects from PM 2 .5 exposure from VOC Ecosystem effects Visibility impairment

a All estimates are for the implementation year (2013) and are rounded to two significant figures. b The total monetized co-benefits reflect the human health benefits associated with reducing exposure to PM 2.5 through reductions of PM 2.5 precursors, such as NO X and directly emitted PM 2.5 . Co-benefits are shown as a range from Pope, et al. (2002) to Laden, et al. (2006). These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because the scientific evidence is not yet sufficient to allow differentiation of effects estimates by particle type.

c The engineering compliance costs are annualized using a 7- percent discount rate. Table 5.

c The engineering compliance costs are annualized using a 7- percent discount rate. For more information on the cost-benefit analysis, please refer to the RIA for these proposed amendments, which is

available in the docket. B. Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not impose any new information collection burden. This action does not impose an information collection burden because the agency is not requiring any additional recordkeeping, reporting, notification or other requirements in these proposed amendments. The changes being proposed in this action do not affect information collection, but include revisions to emission standards and other minor issues. However, the OMB has previously approved the information collectionPage 82 of 197 requirements contained in the existing regulations under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0548. The OMB control numbers for the EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined by the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. The companies owning facilities with affected RICE can be grouped into small and large categories using SBA general sizePage 83 of 197 standard definitions. Size standards are based on industry classification codes (i.e., North American Industrial Classification System, or NAICS) that each company uses to identify the industry or industries in which they operate. The SBA defines a small business in terms of the maximum employment, annual sales, or annual energy-generating capacity (for electricity generating units—EGUs) of the owning entity. These thresholds vary by industry and are evaluated based on the primary industry classification of the affected companies. In cases where companies are classified by multiple NAICS codes, the most conservative SBA definition (i.e., the NAICS code with the highest employee or revenue size standard) was used. As mentioned earlier in this preamble, facilities across several industries use affected CI and SI stationary RICE; therefore, a number of size standards are utilized in this analysis. For the 15 industries identified at the 6-digit NAICS code represented in this analysis, the employment size standard (where it applies) varies from 500 to 1,000 employees. The annual sales standard (where it applies) is as low as 0.75 million dollars and as high as 33.5 million dollars. In addition, for the electric power generation industry, the small business size standard is an ultimate parent entity defined ashaving a total electric output of 4 million megawatt-hours (MWhr) in the previous fiscal year. The specific SBA size standardPage 84 of 197 is identified for each affected industry within the industry profile to support this economic analysis. After considering the economic impacts of this proposed rule on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This certification is based on the economic impact of

this action to all affected small entities across all industries affected. The percentage of small entities impacted by this proposal having annualized costs of greater than 1 percent of their sales is less than 2 percent according to the small entity analysis. We conclude that there is no significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for this rule. For more information on the small entity impacts associated with the rule, please refer to the Economic Impact and Small Business Analyses in the public docket. These analyses can be found in the RIA for each of the rules affected by this action. Although the proposed reconsideration rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, EPA nonetheless tried to reduce the impact of the rule on small entities. When developing the revised standards, EPA took special steps to ensure that the burdens imposed on small entities were minimal. EPA conducted several meetings with industry trade associations to discuss regulatory options and the corresponding burden on industry, such as recordkeeping andPage 85 of 197 reporting. In addition, as mentioned earlier in this preamble, EPA proposes to reduce regulatory requirements for a variety of

area sources affected under each of the RICE rules with amendments to the final RICE rules promulgated in 2010. We continue to be interested in the potential impacts of this proposed rule on small entities and welcome comments on issues related to such impacts.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 This rule does not contain a federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more for state, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector in any one year. The EPA is proposing management practices for certain existing engines located at area sources and is proposing amendments that will provide owners and operators with alternative and less expensive compliance demonstration methods. As a result of these proposed changes, the EPA anticipates a

substantial reduction in the cost burden associated with this rule. Thus, this rule is not subject to the requirements of

sections 202 or 205 of UMRA. This rule is also not subject to the requirements of section 203 of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The changes being proposed in this action by the agency will mostly affect stationary engine owners and operatorsPage 86 of 197 and will not affect small governments. The proposed amendments

will lead to a reduction in the cost burden.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132. This proposed action primarily affects private industry, and does not impose significant economic costs on state or local governments. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this action. In the spirit of Executive Order 13132 and consistent with the EPA policy to promote communications between the EPA and state and local governments, the EPA specifically solicits comment on this proposed action from state and local officials.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with

Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). It will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the federal government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does notPage 87 of 197 apply to this action. The EPA specifically solicits additional comment on this proposed action from tribal officials.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health and Safety Risks

The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying only to those regulatory actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is based solely on technology performance. H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use This action is not a “significant energy action” as defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)), because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. This action reduces the burden of the rule on owners and operators of stationary engines by providing less burdensome compliance demonstration methods to owners and operators and greater flexibility in the operation of emergency engines. As a result of these proposed changes, the EPA anticipates a substantial reduction in the cost burden

associated with this rule. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement ActPage 88 of 197 Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (“NTTAA”), Public Law No. 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. This proposed rulemaking involves technical standards. The EPA proposes to use EPA Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. While the agency identified two voluntary consensus standards as being potentially applicable, we do not propose to use it in this rulemaking. The two candidate voluntary consensus standards, ISO 14965:2000(E) and EN 12619 (1999), identified would not be practical due to lack of equivalency, documentation, validation data and other important technical and policy considerations. The search and review results have been documented and are placed in the docket for the proposed rule. EPA welcomes comments on this aspect of the proposed rulemaking and, specifically, invites the public to identifyPage 89 of 197 potentially-applicable voluntary consensus standards and to explain why such standards should be used in this regulation.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 (February 16, 1994)) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies and activities on minority populations and low-income populations in the United

States.

The EPA has concluded that it is not feasible to determine whether there would be disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low income or indigenous populations from the reconsideration of this final rule, as the EPA does not have specific information about the location of the stationary RICE affected by this rule. Although the EPA does not have specific engine location information, to the extent this rule achieves fewer reductions than the original rule, the decrease in reductions is primarily occurring in very remote areas that are sparsely populated.Page 90 of 197National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines; New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Internal Combustion Engines Page 91 of 197 **List of Subjects** 40 CFR part 60 Administrative practice and procedure, Air pollution control, Incorporation by reference, Intergovernmental relations, Reporting and recordkeeping. 40 CFR part 63 Administrative practice and procedure, Air pollution control, Hazardous substances, Incorporation by reference, Intergovernmental relations, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

For the reasons stated in the preamble, title 40, chapter I of the Code of Federal Regulations is amended as follows: **PART 60—[AMENDED]** 1. The authority citation for part 60 continues to read as

follows: Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq

. **Subpart IIII—[amended]** 1. Section 60.4207 is amended by revising paragraph (b) to

read as follows: §60.4207 What fuel requirements must I meet if I am an owner or operator of a stationary CI internal combustion engine subject to this subpart?

* * * * * (b) Beginning October 1, 2010, owners and operators of stationary CI ICE subject to this subpart with a displacement of less than 30 liters per cylinder that use diesel fuel must use diesel fuel that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 80.510(b) for nonroad diesel fuel, except that any existing diesel fuel purchased (or otherwise obtained) prior to October 1, 2010, may be used until depleted.

* * * * * 2. Section 60.4211 is amended by revising paragraph (f) to

read as follows:Page 93 of 197

§60.4211 What are my compliance requirements if I am an owner or operator of a stationary CI internal combustion engine?

* * * * * (f) If you own or operate an emergency stationary ICE, you must operate the emergency stationary ICE according to the requirements in paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this section. In order for the engine to be considered an emergency stationary ICE under this subpart, any operation other than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, emergency demand response, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as described in paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this section, is prohibited. If you do not operate the engine according to the requirements in paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this section, the engine will not be considered an emergency engine under this subpart and must meet all requirements for non-emergency engines. An engine that exceeds the calendar year limitations on non-emergency operation will be considered a non-emergency engine and subject to the requirements for non-emergency engines for the remaining life of the engine. (1) There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary ICE in emergency situations. (2) You may operate your emergency stationary ICE for any combination of the purposes specified in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section for a maximum of 100 hours perPage 94 of 197

calendar year. Any operation for non-emergency situations as allowed by paragraph (f)(3) of this section counts as part of the 100 hours per calendar year allowed by this paragraph (f)(2). (i) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by federal, state or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, the regional transmission authority or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator, or the insurance company associated with the engine. The owner or operator may petition the Administrator for approval of

additional hours to be used for maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that federal, state, or local standards require maintenance and testing of emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per calendar year. (ii) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for emergency demand response for periods in which the regional transmission authority or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has declared an Energy Emergency Alert Level 2 (EEA Level 2) as defined in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Reliability Standard EOP-002-3, Capacity and Energy Emergencies.Page 95 of 197

(iii) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for periods where there is a deviation of voltage or frequency of 5 percent or greater below standard voltage or frequency. (3) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for up to 50 hours per calendar year in non-emergency situations. The 50 hours of operation in non-emergency situations are counted as part of the 100 hours per calendar year for maintenance and testing and emergency demand response provided in paragraph (f)(2) of this section. The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving or non-emergency demand response, or to otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity.

* * * * * 3. Section 60.4219 is amended by revising the definition of “Emergency stationary internal combustion engine” to read as

follows: §60.4219 What definitions apply to this subpart?

* * * * * Emergency stationary internal combustion engine means any stationary reciprocating internal combustion engine that meets all of the criteria in paragraphs (1) through (3) of this definition. All emergency stationary ICE must comply with the requirements specified in §60.4211(f) in order to be considered emergency stationary ICE. If the engine does not comply with thePage 96 of 197

requirements specified in §60.4211(f), then it is not considered to be an emergency stationary ICE under this subpart. (1) The stationary ICE is operated to provide electrical power or mechanical work during an emergency situation. Examples include stationary ICE used to produce power for critical networks or equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when electric power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own power production) is interrupted, or stationary ICE used to pump water in the case of fire or flood, etc. (2) The stationary ICE is operated under limited circumstances for situations not included in paragraph (1) of this definition, as specified in §60.4211(f). (3) The stationary ICE operates as part of a financial arrangement with another entity in situations not included in paragraph (1) of this definition only as allowed in §60.4211(f)(2)(ii) or (iii).

* * * * * **Subpart JJJJ—[amended]** 4. Section 60.4231 is amended by revising paragraphs (b) through (d) to read as follows:

Stationary SI internal combustion engine manufacturers may certify their stationary SI ICE with a maximum engine power less than or equal to 30 KW (40 HP) with a total displacement less than or equal to 1,000 cc that are rich burn engines that use LPG to the certification emission standards and other requirements for new nonroad SI engines in 40 CFR part 90.Page 99 of 197

(d) Stationary SI internal combustion engine manufacturers who choose to certify their stationary SI ICE with a maximum engine power greater than 19 KW (25 HP) and less than 75 KW (100 HP) (except gasoline and rich burn engines that use LPG and emergency stationary ICE with a maximum engine power greater than 25 HP and less than 130 HP) under the voluntary manufacturer certification program described in this subpart must certify those engines to the certification emission standards for new nonroad SI engines in 40 CFR part 1048. Stationary SI internal combustion engine manufacturers who choose to certify their emergency stationary SI ICE greater than 25 HP and less than 130 HP (except gasoline and rich burn engines that use LPG), must certify those engines to the Phase 1 emission standards in 40 CFR 90.103, applicable to class II engines, for new nonroad SI engines in 40 CFR part 90. Stationary SI internal combustion engine manufacturers may certify their stationary SI ICE with a maximum engine power less than or equal to 30 KW (40 HP) with a total displacement less than or equal to 1,000 cc (except gasoline and rich burn engines that use LPG) to the certification emission standards for new nonroad SI engines in 40 CFR part 90. For stationary SI ICE with a maximum engine power greater than 19 KW (25 HP) and less than 75 KW (100 HP) (except gasoline and rich burn engines that use LPG and emergency stationary ICE with a maximum engine powerPage 100 of 197

greater than 25 HP and less than 130 HP) manufactured prior to January 1, 2011, manufacturers may choose to certify these engines to the standards in Table 1 to this subpart applicable to engines with a maximum engine power greater than or equal to

100 HP and less than 500 HP.

* * * * * 5. Section 60.4243 is amended by revising paragraph (d) to

read as follows: §60.4243 What are my compliance requirements if I am an owner or operator of a stationary SI internal combustion engine?

* * * * * (d) If you own or operate an emergency stationary ICE, you must operate the emergency stationary ICE according to the requirements in paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of this section. In order for the engine to be considered an emergency stationary ICE under this subpart, any operation other than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, emergency demand response, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as described in paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of this section, is prohibited. If you do not operate the engine according to the requirements in paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of this section, the engine will not be considered an emergency engine under this subpart and must meet all requirements for non-emergency engines. An engine that exceeds the calendar year limitations onPage 101 of 197

non-emergency operation will be considered a non-emergency engine and subject to the requirements for non-emergency engines for the remaining life of the engine. (1) There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary ICE in emergency situations. (2) You may operate your emergency stationary ICE for any combination of the purposes specified in paragraphs (d)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section for a maximum of 100 hours per calendar year. Any operation for non-emergency situations as allowed by paragraph (d)(3) of this section counts as part of the 100 hours per calendar year allowed by this paragraph (d)(2). (i) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by federal, state or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, the regional transmission authority or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator, or the insurance company associated with the engine. The owner or operator may petition the Administrator for approval of

additional hours to be used for maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that federal, state, or local standards require maintenance and testing of emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per calendar year.Page 102 of 197

(ii) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for emergency demand response for periods in which the regional transmission authority or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has declared an Energy Emergency Alert Level 2 (EEA Level 2) as defined in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Reliability Standard EOP-002-3, Capacity and Energy Emergencies. (iii) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for periods where there is a deviation of voltage or frequency of 5 percent or greater below standard voltage or frequency. (3) Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for up to 50 hours per calendar year in non-emergency situations. The 50 hours of operation in non-emergency situations are counted as part of the 100 hours per calendar year for maintenance and testing and emergency demand response provided in paragraph (d)(2) of this section. The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving or non-emergency demand response, or to otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity.

* * * * * 6. Section 60.4248 is amended by revising the definition of “Emergency stationary internal combustion engine” to read as

follows: §60.4248 What definitions apply to this subpart?Page 103 of 197

* * * * * Emergency stationary internal combustion engine means any stationary reciprocating internal combustion engine that meets all of the criteria in paragraphs (1) through (3) of this definition. All emergency stationary ICE must comply with the requirements specified in §60.4243(d) in order to be considered emergency stationary ICE. If the engine does not comply with the requirements specified in §60.4243(d), then it is not considered to be an emergency stationary ICE under this subpart. (1) The stationary ICE is operated to provide electrical power or mechanical work during an emergency situation. Examples include stationary ICE used to produce power for critical networks or equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when electric power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own power production) is interrupted, or stationary ICE used to pump water in the case of fire or flood, etc. (2) The stationary ICE is operated under limited circumstances for situations not included in paragraph (1) of this definition, as specified in §60.4243(d). (3) The stationary ICE operates as part of a financial arrangement with another entity in situations not included in paragraph (1) of this definition only as allowed in §60.4243(d)(2)(ii) or (iii).Page 104 of 197

* * * * * (e)(1) You must use Equation 1 of this section to

determine compliance with the percent reduction requirement:

Where:

C i = concentration of CO, THC, or formaldehyde at the control device inlet, C o = concentration of CO, THC, or formaldehyde at the control device outlet, and R = percent reduction of CO, THC, or formaldehyde emissions.

(2) You must normalize the carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbons (THC), or formaldehyde concentrations at the inlet and outlet of the control device to a dry basis and to 15 percent oxygen, or an equivalent percent carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). If pollutant concentrations are to be corrected to 15 percent oxygen and CO 2 concentration is measured in lieu of oxygen concentration measurement, a CO 2 correction factor is needed.

Calculate the CO 2 correction factor as described in paragraphs (e)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section. C i - C o C i x 100 = R ( Eq . 1)Page 119 of 197

(i) Calculate the fuel-specific F o value for the fuel burned during the test using values obtained from Method 19,

Section 5.2, and the following equation:

Where:

F o = Fuel factor based on the ratio of oxygen volume to the ultimate CO 2 volume produced by the fuel at zero percent excess air. 0.209 = Fraction of air that is oxygen, percent/100. F d = Ratio of the volume of dry effluent gas to the gross calorific value of the fuel from Method 19, dsm 3 /J (dscf/10 6 Btu). F c = Ratio of the volume of CO 2 produced to the gross calorific value of the fuel from Method 19, dsm 3 /J (dscf/10 6 Btu) (ii) Calculate the CO 2 correction factor for correcting

measurement data to 15 percent oxygen, as follows: Where:

X co2 = CO 2 correction factor, percent. 5.9 = 20.9 percent O 2 - 15 percent O 2 , the defined O 2 correction value, percent. (iii) Calculate the CO, THC, and formaldehyde gas concentrations adjusted to 15 percent O 2 using CO 2 as follows: F o = 0.209 F d F c ( Eq . 2)

X CO2 = 5.9 F o ( Eq . 3)

C adj = C d X CO2 % CO 2 ( Eq . 4)Page 120 of 197

Where:

%CO 2 = Measured CO 2 concentration measured, dry basis, percent.

* * * * * (f) If you own or operate an emergency stationary RICE, you must operate the emergency stationary RICE according to the requirements in paragraphs (f)(1) through (4) of this section. In order for the engine to be considered an emergency stationary RICE under this subpart, any operation other than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, emergency demand response, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year,Page 127 of 197

as described in paragraphs (f)(1) through (4) of this section, is prohibited. If you do not operate the engine according to the requirements in paragraphs (f)(1) through (4) of this section, the engine will not be considered an emergency engine under this subpart and must meet all requirements for non-emergency engines. An engine that exceeds the calendar year limitations on non-emergency operation will be considered a non-emergency engine and subject to the requirements for non-emergency engines for the remaining life of the engine. (1) There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary RICE in emergency situations. (2) You may operate your emergency stationary RICE for any combination of the purposes specified in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section for a maximum of 100 hours per calendar year. Any operation for non-emergency situations as allowed by paragraphs (f)(3) and (4) of this section counts as part of the 100 hours per calendar year allowed by this paragraph (f)(2). (i) Emergency stationary RICE may be operated for maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by federal, state or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, the regional transmission authority or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator, or the insurance company associated with the engine.

Section 63.6675 is amended by: a. Adding in alphabetical order the definition of Alaska Railbelt Grid; b. Revising the definition of Emergency stationary RICE ;

and c. Adding in alphabetical order the definition of Remote stationary RICE to read as follows. §63.6675 What definitions apply to this subpart?

Alaska Railbelt Grid means the service areas of the six regulated public utilities that extend from Fairbanks to Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula. These utilities are Golden Valley Electric Association; Chugach Electric Association;Page 131 of 197

Matanuska Electric Association; Homer Electric Association; Anchorage Municipal Light & Power; and the City of Seward Electric System.

* * * * * Emergency stationary RICE means any stationary reciprocating internal combustion engine that meets all of the criteria in paragraphs (1) through (3) of this definition. All emergency stationary RICE must comply with the requirements specified in §63.6640(f) in order to be considered emergency stationary RICE. If the engine does not comply with the requirements specified in §63.6640(f), then it is not considered to be an emergency stationary RICE under this subpart. (1) The stationary RICE is operated to provide electrical power or mechanical work during an emergency situation. Examples include stationary RICE used to produce power for critical networks or equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when electric power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own power production) is interrupted, or stationary RICE used to pump water in the case of fire or flood, etc. (2) The stationary RICE is operated under limited circumstances for situations not included in paragraph (1) of this definition, as specified in §63.6640(f).Page 132 of 197

(3) The stationary RICE operates as part of a financial arrangement with another entity in situations not included in paragraph (1) of this definition only as allowed in §63.6640(f)(2)(ii) or (iii) and §63.6640(f)(4)(i).

* * * * * Remote stationary RICE means stationary RICE meeting any of the following criteria: (1) Stationary RICE located in an offshore area that is beyond the line of ordinary low water along that portion of the

coast of the United States that is in direct contact with the open seas and beyond the line marking the seaward limit of

inland waters. (2) Stationary RICE located on a pipeline segment that meets both of the criteria in paragraphs (2)(i) and (ii) of this

definition. (i) A pipeline segment with 10 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy within 220 yards (200 meters) on either side of the centerline of any continuous 1-mile (1.6 kilometers) length of pipeline. Each separate dwelling unit in a multiple dwelling unit building is counted as a separate building intended for human occupancy. (ii) The pipeline segment does not lie within 100 yards (91 meters) of either a building or a small, well-defined outside area (such as a playground, recreation area, outdoor theater, orPage 133 of 197

other place of public assembly) that is occupied by 20 or more persons on at least 5 days a week for 10 weeks in any 12-month period. The days and weeks need not be consecutive. The building or area is considered occupied for a full day if it is occupied for any portion of the day. (iii) For purposes of this paragraph (2), the term pipeline segment means all parts of those physical facilities through which gas moves in transportation, including but not limited to pipe, valves, and other appurtenance attached to pipe, compressor units, metering stations, regulator stations, delivery stations, holders, and fabricated assemblies. Stationary RICE located within 50 yards (46 m) of the pipeline segment providing power for equipment on a pipeline segment are part of the pipeline segment. Transportation of gas means the gathering, transmission, or distribution of gas by pipeline, or the storage of gas. A building is intended for human occupancy if its primary use is for a purpose involving the presence of

humans. (3) Stationary RICE that are not located on pipelines and that have 5 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy within a 0.25 mile radius around the engine.

31. Appendix A to Subpart ZZZZ of Part 63 is added to read

as follows:Page 179 of 197

**Appendix A Protocol for Using an Electrochemical Analyzer to Determine**  **Oxygen and Carbon Monoxide Concentrations from Certain Engines**

1.0 Scope and Application. What is this Protocol? This protocol is a procedure for using portable electrochemical (EC) cells for measuring carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O 2 )

concentrations in controlled and uncontrolled emissions from existing stationary 4-stroke lean burn and 4-stroke rich burn reciprocating internal combustion engines as specified in the applicable rule. 1.1 Analytes. What does this protocol determine? This protocol measures the engine exhaust gas concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O 2 ). **Analyte C**  **AS No. S**  **ensitivity** Carbon monoxide (CO) 630-08-0 Minimum detectable limit should be 2

percent of the nominal range or 1 ppm, whichever is less restrictive. Oxygen (O 2 ) 7782-44-7

1.2 Applicability. When is this protocol acceptable? This protocol is applicable to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. Because of inherent cross sensitivities of EC cells, you must not apply this protocol to other emissions sources without specific instruction to that effect. 1.3 Data Quality Objectives. How good must my collected data be?Page 180 of 197

Refer to Section 13 to verify and document acceptable analyzer performance. 1.4 Range. What is the targeted analytical range for this protocol? The measurement system and EC cell design(s) conforming to this protocol will determine the analytical range for each gas component. The nominal ranges are defined by choosing up-scale calibration gas concentrations near the maximum anticipated flue gas concentrations for CO and O 2 , or no more than twice the permitted CO level. 1.5 Sensitivity. What minimum detectable limit will this protocol yield for a particular gas component? The minimum detectable limit depends on the nominal range and resolution of the specific EC cell used, and the signal to noise ratio of the measurement system. The minimum detectable limit should be 2 percent of the nominal range or 1 ppm, whichever is

less restrictive. 2.0 Summary of Protocol In this protocol, a gas sample is extracted from an engine exhaust system and then conveyed to a portable EC analyzer for

measurement of CO and O 2 gas concentrations. This method provides measurement system performance specifications and sampling protocols to ensure reliable data. You may use additions to, or modifications of vendor supplied measurement systems (e.g.,Page 181 of 197

heated or unheated sample lines, thermocouples, flow meters, selective gas scrubbers, etc.) to meet the design specifications of this protocol. Do not make changes to the measurement system from the as-verified configuration (Section 3.12).

3.0 Definitions 3.1 Measurement System . The total equipment required for the

measurement of CO and O 2 concentrations. The measurement system consists of the following major subsystems:

3.1.1 Data Recorder . A strip chart recorder, computer or digital recorder for logging measurement data from the analyzer output. You may record measurement data from the digital data display manually or electronically. 3.1.2 Electrochemical (EC) Cell . A device, similar to a fuel cell, used to sense the presence of a specific analyte and generate an electrical current output proportional to the analyte concentration.

3.1.3 Interference Gas Scrubber . A device used to remove or neutralize chemical compounds that may interfere with the selective operation of an EC cell. 3.1.4 Moisture Removal System . Any device used to reduce the concentration of moisture in the sample stream so as to protect the EC cells from the damaging effects of condensation and to minimize errors in measurements caused by the scrubbing of soluble gases.Page 182 of 197

3.1.5 Sample Interface . The portion of the system used for one or more of the following: sample acquisition; sample transport; sample conditioning or protection of the EC cell from any degrading effects of the engine exhaust effluent; removal of particulate matter and condensed moisture. 3.2 Nominal Range . The range of analyte concentrations over which each EC cell is operated (normally 25 percent to 150 percent of up-scale calibration gas value). Several nominal ranges can be used for any given cell so long as the calibration and repeatability checks for that range remain within specifications.

3.3 Calibration Gas . A vendor certified concentration of a specific analyte in an appropriate balance gas.

3.4 Zero Calibration Error . The analyte concentration output exhibited by the EC cell in response to zero-level calibration

gas. 3.5 Up-Scale Calibration Error . The mean of the difference between the analyte concentration exhibited by the EC cell and the certified concentration of the up-scale calibration gas.

3.6 Interference Check . A procedure for quantifying analytical interference from components in the engine exhaust gas other than the targeted analytes. 3.7 Repeatability Check . A protocol for demonstrating that an EC cell operated over a given nominal analyte concentration rangePage 183 of 197

provides a stable and consistent response and is not significantly affected by repeated exposure to that gas. 3.8 Sample Flow Rate . The flow rate of the gas sample as it passes through the EC cell. In some situations, EC cells can experience drift with changes in flow rate. The flow rate must be monitored and documented during all phases of a sampling run. 3.9 Sampling Run . A timed three-phase event whereby an EC cell’s response rises and plateaus in a sample conditioning phase, remains relatively constant during a measurement data phase, then declines during a refresh phase. The sample conditioning phase exposes the EC cell to the gas sample for a length of time sufficient to reach a constant response. The measurement data phase is the time interval during which gas sample measurements can be made that meet the acceptance criteria of this protocol. The refresh phase then purges the EC cells with CO-free air. The refresh phase replenishes requisite O 2 and moisture in the electrolyte reserve and provides a mechanism to de-gas or desorb any interference gas scrubbers or filters so as to enable a stable CO EC cell response. There are four primary types of sampling runs: pre- sampling calibrations; stack gas sampling; post-sampling calibration checks; and measurement system repeatability checks. Stack gas sampling runs can be chained together for extended evaluations, providing all other procedural specifications are met.Page 184 of 197

3.10 Sampling Day . A time not to exceed twelve hours from the time of the pre-sampling calibration to the post-sampling calibration check. During this time, stack gas sampling runs can be repeated without repeated recalibrations, providing all other sampling specifications have been met. 3.11 Pre-Sampling Calibration/Post-Sampling Calibration Check. The protocols executed at the beginning and end of each sampling day to bracket measurement readings with controlled performance

checks. 3.12 Performance-Established Configuration . The EC cell and sampling system configuration that existed at the time that it initially met the performance requirements of this protocol.

4.0 Interferences. When present in sufficient concentrations, NO and NO 2 are two gas species that have been reported to interfere with CO

concentration measurements. In the likelihood of this occurrence, it is the protocol user’s responsibility to employ and properly maintain an appropriate CO EC cell filter or scrubber for removal of these gases, as described in Section

6.2.12. 5.0 Safety. [Reserved] 6.0 Equipment and Supplies. 6.1 What equipment do I need for the measurement system?Page 185 of 197

The system must maintain the gas sample at conditions that will prevent moisture condensation in the sample transport lines, both before and as the sample gas contacts the EC cells. The essential components of the measurement system are described

below. 6.2 Measurement System Components. 6.2.1 Sample Probe . A single extraction-point probe constructed of glass, stainless steel or other non-reactive material, and of length sufficient to reach any designated sampling point. The sample probe must be designed to prevent plugging due to condensation or particulate matter. 6.2.2 Sample Line . Non-reactive tubing to transport the effluent from the sample probe to the EC cell. 6.2.3 Calibration Assembly (optional) . A three-way valve assembly or equivalent to introduce calibration gases at ambient pressure at the exit end of the sample probe during calibration checks. The assembly must be designed such that only stack gas or calibration gas flows in the sample line and all gases flow through any gas path filters. 6.2.4 Particulate Filter (optional) . Filters before the inlet of the EC cell to prevent accumulation of particulate material in the measurement system and extend the useful life of the components. All filters must be fabricated of materials that are non-reactive to the gas mixtures being sampled.Page 186 of 197

6.2.5 Sample Pump . A leak-free pump to provide undiluted sample gas to the system at a flow rate sufficient to minimize the response time of the measurement system. If located upstream of the EC cells, the pump must be constructed of a material that is non-reactive to the gas mixtures being sampled. 6.2.8 Sample Flow Rate Monitoring . An adjustable rotameter or equivalent device used to adjust and maintain the sample flow rate through the analyzer as prescribed. 6.2.9 Sample Gas Manifold (optional) . A manifold to divert a portion of the sample gas stream to the analyzer and the remainder to a by-pass discharge vent. The sample gas manifold may also include provisions for introducing calibration gases directly to the analyzer. The manifold must be constructed of a material that is non-reactive to the gas mixtures being sampled.

6.2.10 EC cell . A device containing one or more EC cells to

determine the CO and O 2 concentrations in the sample gas stream. The EC cell(s) must meet the applicable performance specifications of Section 13 of this protocol.

6.2.11 Data Recorder . A strip chart recorder, computer or digital recorder to make a record of analyzer output data. The data recorder resolution (i.e., readability) must be no greater than 1 ppm for CO; 0.1 percent for O 2 ; and one degree (either o C

or o F) for temperature. Alternatively, you may use a digital orPage 187 of 197

analog meter having the same resolution to observe and manually record the analyzer responses.

6.2.12 Interference Gas Filter or Scrubber . A device to remove interfering compounds upstream of the CO EC cell. Specificinterference gas filters or scrubbers used in the performanceestablished configuration of the analyzer must continue to be

used. Such a filter or scrubber must have a means to determine when the removal agent is exhausted. Periodically replace or replenish it in accordance with the manufacturer’s

recommendations. 6.2.13 EC Cell Temperature Device . A temperature measurement device (e.g., thermocouple, thermistor or equivalent) to monitor EC cell temperature. The temperature may be monitored within or at the surface of a cell, or in close proximity to the cells so as to indicate the operating temperature of the cells. Do not operate the analyzer outside the manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range. 7.0 Reagents and Standards. What calibration gases are needed?

7.1 Calibration Gases . CO calibration gases for the EC cell must be CO in nitrogen or CO in a mixture of nitrogen and O 2. Use CO calibration gases with labeled concentration values certified by the manufacturer to be within ± 5 percent of the label value. Dry ambient air (20.9 percent O 2 ) is acceptable for calibrationPage 188 of 197

of the O 2 cell. If needed, any lower percentage O 2 calibration gas must be a mixture of O 2 in nitrogen.

7.1.1 Up-Scale CO Calibration Gas Concentration. Choose one or more up-scale gas concentrations such that the average of the stack gas measurements for each stack gas sampling run are between 25 and 150 percent of those concentrations. Alternatively, choose an up-scale gas that does not exceed twice the concentration of the applicable outletstandard. If a measured gas value exceeds 150 percent of the upscale CO calibration gas value at any time during the stack gas sampling run, the run must be discarded and repeated.

7.1.2 Up-Scale O 2 Calibration Gas Concentration.

Select an O 2 gas concentration such that the difference between the gas concentration and the average stack gas measurement or reading for each sample run is less than 15 percent O 2 . When the average exhaust gas O 2 readings are above 6 percent, you may use dry ambient air (20.9 percent O 2 ) for the up-scale O 2 calibration

gas.

7.1.3 Zero Gas . Use an inert gas that contains less than 0.25 percent of the up-scale CO calibration gas concentration. You may use dry air that is free from ambient CO and other combustion gas products (e.g., CO 2 ). 8.0 Sample Collection and Analysis 8.1 Selection of Sampling Sites

**.**Page 189 of 197

8.1.1 Control Device Inlet. Select a sampling site sufficiently downstream of the engine so that the combustion gases should be well mixed. Use a single sampling extraction point near the center of the duct (e.g., within the 10 percent centroidal area), unless instructed otherwise.

8.1.2 Exhaust Gas Outlet. Select a sampling site located at least two stack diameters downstream of any disturbance (e.g.,turbocharger exhaust, crossover junction or recirculation takeoff) and at least one-half stack diameter upstream of the gas discharge to the atmosphere. Use a single sampling extraction point near the center of the duct (e.g., within the 10 percent centroidal area), unless instructed otherwise. 8.2 Stack Gas Collection and Analysis

**.** Prior to the first stack gas sampling run, conduct that the pre-sampling calibration in accordance with Section 10.1. Use Figure 1 to record all data. Zero the analyzer with zero gas. Confirm and record that the scrubber media color is correct and not exhausted. Then position the probe at the sampling point and begin the sampling run at the same flow rate used during the up-scale calibration. Record the start time. Record all EC cell output responses, the EC cell temperature, and the flow rate during the “sample conditioning phase” once per minute until constant readings are obtained. Then begin the “measurement data phase” and record readings every 15 seconds for at least two minutes (or eight readings),Page 190 of 197

or as otherwise required to achieve two continuous minutes of data that meet the specification given in Section 13.1. Finally, perform the “refresh phase” by introducing dry air, free from CO and other combustion gases, until several minute-to-minute readings of consistent value have been obtained. For each run use the “measurement data phase” readings to calculate the average stack gas CO and O 2 concentrations. 8.3 EC Cell Temperature

**.** During each stack gas sampling run, measure and record the temperature of the EC cells. The temperature during each run must not vary more than ± 10°F. The overall EC cell temperature variation must be less than ± 20°F from the pre-sampling calibration to the final post-sampling

calibration check.

8.4 EC Cell Flow Rate. Maintain t he EC cell sample flow rate so that it does not vary by more than ± 10 percent throughout the pre-sampling calibration, stack gas sampling and post-sampling calibration check. Alternatively, the EC cell sample flow rate can be maintained within a tolerance range that does not affect the gas concentration readings by more than ± 3 percent, as instructed by the EC cell manufacturer. 9.0 Quality Control (Reserved)

10.0 Calibration and Standardization 10.1 Pre-Sampling Calibration

**.** Conduct the following protocol once for each nominal range to be used on each EC cell beforePage 191 of 197

performing a stack gas sampling run on each field sampling day. Repeat the calibration if you replace an EC cell before completing all of the sampling runs. There is no prescribed order for calibration of the EC cells; however, each cell must complete the measurement data phase during calibration. Assemble the measurement system by following the manufacturer's recommended protocols including for preparing and preconditioning the EC cell. Assure the measurement system has no leaks and verify the gas scrubbing agent is not depleted. Use Figure 1 to record all data.

10.1.1 Zero Calibration. For both the O 2 and CO cells, introduce zero gas to the measurement system (e.g., at the calibration assembly) and record the concentration reading every minute until readings are constant for at least two consecutive minutes. Include the time, EC cell temperature, and sample flow rate. Repeat the steps in this section at least once to verify the zero calibration for each component gas.

10.1.2 Zero Calibration Tolerance

**.** For each zero gas introduction, the zero level output must be less than or equal to ± 3 percent of the up-scale gas value or ± 1 ppm, whichever is less restrictive, for the CO channel and less than or equal to ± 0.3 percent O 2 for the O 2 channel. 10.1.3 Up-Scale Calibration. Individually introduce each calibration gas to the measurement system (e.g., at thePage 192 of 197

calibration assembly) and record the start time. Record all EC cell output responses, the EC cell temperature, and the flow rate during this “sample conditioning phase” once per minute until readings are constant for at least two minutes. Then begin the “measurement data phase” and record readings every 15 seconds for a total of two minutes, or as otherwise required. Finally, perform the “refresh phase” by introducing dry air, free from CO and other combustion gases, until readings are constant for at least two consecutive minutes. Then repeat the steps in this section at least once to verify the calibration for each component gas. Introduce all gases to flow through the entire sample handling system (i.e., at the exit end of the sampling probe or the calibration assembly). 10.1.4 Up-Scale Calibration Error

**.** The mean of the difference of the “measurement data phase” readings from the reported standard gas value must be less than or equal to ± 5 percent or ± 1 ppm for CO or ± 0.5 percent O 2 , whichever is less restrictive, respectively. The maximum allowable deviation from the mean measured value of any single "measurement data phase" reading must be less than or equal to ± 2 percent or ± 1 ppm for CO or ± 0.5 percent O 2 , whichever is less restrictive, respectively. 10.2 Post-Sampling Calibration Check . Conduct a stack gas postsampling calibration check after the stack gas sampling run or

set of runs and within 12 hours of the initial calibration.Page 193 of 197

Conduct up-scale and zero calibration checks using the protocol in Section 10.1. Make no changes to the sampling system or EC cell calibration until all post-sampling calibration checks have been recorded. If either the zero or up-scale calibration error exceeds the respective specification in Sections 10.1.2 and 10.1.4 then all measurement data collected since the previous

successful calibrations are invalid and re-calibration and resampling are required. If the sampling system is disassembled or the EC cell calibration is adjusted, repeat the calibration check before conducting the next analyzer sampling run. 11.0 Analytical Procedure The analytical procedure is fully discussed in Section 8. 12.0 Calculations and Data Analysis

Determine the CO and O 2 concentrations for each stack gas sampling run by calculating the mean gas concentrations of the data recorded during the “measurement data phase”.

13.0 Protocol Performance Use the following protocols to verify consistent analyzer performance during each field sampling day.

13.1 Measurement Data Phase Performance Check . Calculate the mean of the readings from the “measurement data phase”. The

maximum allowable deviation from the mean for each of the individual readings is ± 2 percent, or ± 1 ppm, whichever is

less restrictive. Record the mean value and maximum deviationPage 194 of 197

for each gas monitored. Data must conform to Section 10.1.4. The EC cell temperature and EC cell flow rate must conform to the specifications in Section 8.3 and 8.4 respectively. Example: A measurement data phase is invalid if the maximum deviation of any single reading comprising that mean is greater than ± 2 percent or ± 1 ppm (the default criteria). For example, if the mean = 30 ppm, single readings of below 29 ppm and above 31 ppm are disallowed).

13.2 Interference Check

**.** Before the initial use of the EC cell and interference gas scrubber in the field, and semi-annually thereafter, challenge the interference gas scrubber with an NO 2 gas standard that is generally recognized as representative of diesel-fueled engine NO 2 emission values. Record the response displayed by the CO EC cell and other pertinent data on Figure 1

or a similar form. 13.2.1 Interference Response

**.** The CO interference response should be less than or equal to ± 5 percent of the up-scale CO calibration gas concentration. 13.3 Repeatability Check

**.** Conduct the following check once for each nominal range that is to be used on the CO EC cell within five days prior to each field sampling program. If a field sampling program lasts longer than five days, repeat this check every five days. Immediately repeat the check if the EC cell is replaced or if the EC cell is exposed to gas concentrationsPage 195 of 197

greater than 150 percent of the highest up-scale gas

concentration. 13.3.1 Repeatability Check Procedure . Perform a complete EC cell sampling run (all three phases) by introducing the CO calibration gas to the measurement system and record the response. Follow Section 10.1.3. Use Figure 1 to record all data. Repeat the run three times for a total of four complete runs. During the four repeatability check runs, do not adjust the system except where necessary to achieve the correct calibration gas flow rate at the analyzer. 13.3.2 Repeatability Check Calculations

**.** Determine the highest and lowest average “measurement data phase” CO concentrations from the four repeatability check runs and record the results on Figure 1 or a similar form. The absolute value of the difference between the maximum and minimum average values recorded must not vary more than ± 3 percent or ± 1 ppm of the up-scale gas value,

whichever is less restrictive. 14.0 Pollution Prevention (Reserved) 15.0 Waste Management (Reserved) 16.0 Alternative Procedures (Reserved)
