The owner or operator must maintain the corresponding records required under §98.3(g) for each of the three consecutive years and retain such records for three years following the year that reporting was discontinued. The owner or operator must resume reporting if annual emissions in any future calendar year increase to 25,000 metric tons CO 2 e per year or more. (3) If the operations of a facility or supplier are changed such that all applicable GHG
- emitting processes and operations listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this section cease to operate, then the owner or operator is exempt from reporting in the years following the year in which cessation of suchPage 10 of 168

operations occurs, provided that the owner or operator submits a notification to the Administrator that announces the cessation of reporting and certifies to the closure of all GHG
- emitting processes and operations no later than March 31 of the yea r following such changes . This paragraph (i)( 3 ) does not apply to seasonal or other temporary cessation of operations. This paragraph (i)(3) does not apply to facilities with municipal solid waste landfills or industrial waste landfills, or to underground coal mines.

(4) Notwithstanding paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this section, upon request by the owner or operator, the Administrator may provide reasonable extensions of the 45
- day period for submission of the revised report or information under paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this section. If the Administrator receives a request for extension of the 45
- day period, by e
-mail to an address prescribed by the Administrator prior to the expiration of the 45
- day period, the extension request is deemed to be automatically granted for 30 days. The Administrator may grant an additional extension beyond the automatic 30
- day extension if the owner or operator submits a request for an additional extension and the request is received by the Administrator at least 5 business days prior to the expiration of the automatic 30
- day extension , provided the request demonstrates that it is not practicable to submit a revised report or information under paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) with in 75 days . The Administrator will approve the extension request if the request demonstrates to the Administrator’s satisfaction that it is not practicable to collect and process the data needed to resolve potential reporting errors identified pursuant to paragraphs (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this section within 75 days . (5) The owner or operator shall retain documentation for 3 years to support any revision made to an annual GHG report.Page 31 of 168

(i) Calibration accuracy requirements . The owner or operator of a facility or supplier that is subject to the requirements of this part must meet the applicable flow meter calibration and accuracy requirements of this paragraph (i). The accuracy specifications in this paragraph (i) do not apply where either the use of company records (as defined in §98.6) or the use of “best available information” is specified in an applicable subpart of this part to quantify fuel usage and/or other parameters. Further, the provisions of this paragraph (i) do no t apply to stationary fuel combustion units that use the methodologies in part 75 of this chapter to calculate CO 2 mass emissions. (1) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (i)(4) through (i)(6) of this section, flow meters that measure liquid and gas eous fuel feed rates, process stream flow rates, or feedstock flow rates and provide data for the GHG emissions calculations shall be calibrated prior to April 1, 2010 using the procedures specified in this paragraph (i) when such calibration is specified in a relevant subpart of this part. Each of these flow meters shall meet the applicable accuracy specification in paragraph (i)(2) or (i)(3) of this section. All other measurement devices ( e.g. , weighing devices) that are required by a relevant subpart of this part, and that are used to provide data for the GHG emissions calculations, shall alsoPage 32 of 168

be calibrated prior to April 1, 2010; however, the accuracy specifications in paragraphs (i)(2) and (i)(3) of this section do not apply to these devices. Rather, ea ch of these measurement devices shall be calibrated to meet the accuracy requirement specified for the device in the applicable subpart of this part, or, in the absence of such accuracy requirement, the device must be calibrated to an accuracy within the appropriate error range for the specific measurement technology, based on an applicable operating standard, including but not limited to manufacturer's specifications and industry standards. The procedures and methods used to quality
- assure the data from ea ch measurement device shall be documented in the written monitoring plan, pursuant to paragraph (g)(5)(i)(C) of this section. (i) All flow meters and other measurement devices that are subject to the provisions of this paragraph (i) must be calibrated acco rding to one of the following: You may use the manufacturer's recommended procedures; an appropriate industry consensus standard method; or a method specified in a relevant subpart of this part. The calibration method(s) used shall be documented in the mon itoring plan required under paragraph (g) of this section. (ii) For facilities and suppliers that become subject to this part after April 1, 2010, all flow meters and other measurement devices (if any) that are required by the relevantPage 33 of 168

subpart(s) of this part to provide data for the GHG emissions calculations shall be installed no later than the date on which data collection is required to begin using the measurement device, and the initial calibration(s) required by this paragraph (i) (if any) shall be per formed no later than that date. (iii) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (i)(4) through (i)(6) of this section, subsequent recalibrations of the flow meters and other measurement devices subject to the requirements of this paragraph (i) shall be pe rformed at one of the following frequencies: (A) You may use the frequency specified in each applicable subpart of this part. (B) You may use the frequency recommended by the manufacturer or by an industry consensus standard practice, if no recalibration f requency is specified in an applicable subpart. (2) Perform all flow meter calibration at measurement points that are representative of the normal operating range of the meter. Except for the orifice, nozzle, and venturi flow meters described in paragraph (i)(3) of this section, calculate the calibration error at each measurement point using Equation A

– 2 of this section. The terms “R” and “A” in Equation A

– 2 must be expressed in consistent units of measure ( e.g. ,Page 34 of 168

gallons/minute, ft 3 /min). The calibration e rror at each measurement point shall not exceed 5.0 percent of the reference value.

Where:
CE = Calibration error (%). R = Reference value. A = Flow meter response to the reference value. (3) For orifice, nozzle, and venturi flow meters, the initial qua lity assurance consists of in
- situ calibration of the differential pressure (delta
- P), total pressure, and temperature transmitters. (i) Calibrate each transmitter at a zero point and at least one upscale point. Fixed reference points, such as the freezing point of water, may be used for temperature transmitter calibrations. Calculate the calibration error of each transmitter at each measurement point, using Equation A

– 3 of this subpart. The terms “R,” “A,” and “FS” in Equation A

– 3 of this subpart must be i n consistent units of measure ( e.g. , milliamperes, inches of water, psi, degrees). For each transmitter, the CE value at each measurement point shall not exceed 2.0 percent of full
- scale. Alternatively, the results are acceptable if the sum of the calculat ed CE values for the threePage 35 of 168

transmitters at each calibration level ( i.e. , at the zero level and at each upscale level) does not exceed 6.0 percent.

Where:
CE = Calibration error (%). R = Reference value. A = Transmitter response to the reference value. FS = Full
- scale value of the transmitter. (ii) In cases where there are only two transmitters ( i.e. , differential pressure and either temperature or total pressure) in the immediate vicinity of the flow meter's primary element ( e.g. , the orifice plate), or when there is only a differential pressure transmitter in close proximity to the primary element, calibration of these existing transmitters to a CE of 2.0 percent or less at each measurement point is still required, in accordance with paragraph (i)(3)(i) o f this section; alternatively, when two transmitters are calibrated, the results are acceptable if the sum of the CE values for the two transmitters at each calibration level does not exceed 4.0 percent. However, note that installation and calibration of a n additional transmitter (or transmitters) at the flow monitor location to measure temperature or total pressure or both is not required in these cases. Instead, you may use assumed values for temperature and/or total pressure, based on measurements ofPage 36 of 168

the se parameters at a remote location (or locations), provided that the following conditions are met: (A) You must demonstrate that measurements at the remote location(s) can, when appropriate correction factors are applied, reliably and accurately represent the actual temperature or total pressure at the flow meter under all expected ambient conditions. (B) You must make all temperature and/or total pressure measurements in the demonstration described in paragraph (i)(3)(ii)(A) of this section with calibrated gauges, sensors, transmitters, or other appropriate measurement devices. At a minimum, calibrate each of these devices to an accuracy within the appropriate error range for the specific measurement technology, according to one of the following. You may ca librate using a manufacturer's specification or an industry consensus standard. (C) You must document the methods used for the demonstration described in paragraph (i)(3)(ii)(A) of this section in the written GHG Monitoring Plan under paragraph (g)(5)(i)(C ) of this section. You must also include the data from the demonstration, the mathematical correlation(s) between the remote readings and actual flow meter conditions derived from the data, and any supporting engineering calculations inPage 37 of 168

the GHG Monitoring Plan. You must maintain all of this information in a format suitable for auditing and inspection. (D) You must use the mathematical correlation(s) derived from the demonstration described in paragraph (i)(3)(ii)(A) of this section to convert the remote temperature or the total pressure readings, or both, to the actual temperature or total pressure at the flow meter, or both, on a daily basis. You shall then use the actual temperature and total pressure values to correct the measured flow rates to standard c onditions. (E) You shall periodically check the correlation(s) between the remote and actual readings (at least once a year), and make any necessary adjustments to the mathematical relationship(s). (4) Fuel billing meters are exempted from the calibration requirements of this section and from the GHG Monitoring Plan and recordkeeping provisions of paragraphs (g)(5)(i)(C), (g)(6), and (g)(7) of this section, provided that the fuel supplier and any unit combusting the fuel do not have any common owners and
are not owned by subsidiaries or affiliates of the same company. Meters used exclusively to measure the flow rates of fuels that are used for unit startup are also exempted from the calibration requirements of this section. (5) For a flow meter that has been previously calibrated in accordance with paragraph (i)(1) of this section, an additional calibration is not required by the date specified in paragraphPage 38 of 168

(i)(1) of this section if, as of that date, the previous calibration is still active ( i.e. , the device is not yet due for recalibration because the time interval between successive calibrations has not elapsed). In this case, the deadline for the successive calibrations of the flow meter shall be set according to one of the following. You may use either the manufacturer's recommended calibration schedule or you may use the industry consensus calibration schedule. (6) For units and processes that operate continuously with infrequent outages, it may not be possible to meet the April 1, 2010 deadline for the in itial calibration of a flow meter or other measurement device without disrupting normal process operation. In such cases, the owner or operator may postpone the initial calibration until the next scheduled maintenance outage. The best available information from company records may be used in the interim. The subsequent required recalibrations of the flow meters may be similarly postponed. Such postponements shall be documented in the monitoring plan that is required under paragraph (g)(5) of this section. ( 7) If the results of an initial calibration or a recalibration fail to meet the required accuracy specification, data from the flow meter shall be considered invalid, beginning with the hour of the failed calibration and continuing until a successful calib ration is completed. You shall follow thePage 39 of 168

missing data provisions provided in the relevant missing data sections during the period of data invalidation. (j) Measurement device installation

— (1) General . If an owner or operator required to report under subp art P, subpart X or subpart Y of this part has process equipment or units that operate continuously and it is not possible to install a required flow meter or other measurement device by April 1, 2010, (or by any later date in 2010 approved by the Administ rator as part of an extension of best available monitoring methods per paragraph (d) of this section) without process equipment or unit shutdown, or through a hot tap, the owner or operator may request an extension from the Administrator to delay installing the measurement device until the next scheduled process equipment or unit shutdown. If approval for such an extension is granted by the Administrator, the owner or operator must use best available monitoring methods during the extension period. (2) Reque sts for extension of the use of best available monitoring methods for measurement device installation . The owner or operator must first provide the Administrator an initial notification of the intent to submit an extension request for use of best available monitoring methods beyond December 31, 2010 (or an earlier date approved by EPA) in cases where measurement device installation would require a processPage 40 of 168

equipment or unit shutdown, or could only be done through a hot tap. The owner or operator must follow
- up this initial notification with the complete extension request containing the information specified in paragraph (j)(4) of this section. (3) Timing of request . (i) The initial notice of intent must be submitted no later than January 1, 2011, or by the end of the approved use of best available monitoring methods extension in 2010, whichever is earlier. The completed extension request must be submitted to the Administrator no later than February 15, 2011. (ii) Any subsequent extensions to the original reque st must be submitted to the Administrator within 4 weeks of the owner or operator identifying the need to extend the request, but in any event no later than 4 weeks before the date for the planned process equipment or unit shutdown that was provided in the original or most recently approved request. (4) Content of the request . Requests must contain the following information: (i) Specific measurement device for which the request is being made and the location where each measurement device will be installed. (ii) Identification of the specific rule requirements (by rule subpart, section, and paragraph numbers) requiring the measurement device.Page 41 of 168

(iii) A description of the reasons why the needed equipment could not be installed before April 1, 2010, or by the exp iration date for the use of best available monitoring methods, in cases where an extension has been granted under §98.3(d). (iv) Supporting documentation showing that it is not practicable to isolate the process equipment or unit and install the measurement device without a full shutdown or a hot tap, and that there was no opportunity during 2010 to install the device. Include the date of the three most recent shutdowns for each relevant process equipment or unit, the frequency of shutdowns for each relevant process equipment or unit, and the date of the next planned process equipment or unit shutdown. (v) Include a description of the proposed best available monitoring method for estimating GHG emissions during the time prior to installation of the meter. (5 ) Approval criteria . The owner or operator must demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that it is not reasonably feasible to install the measurement device before April 1, 2010 (or by the expiration date for the use of best available monitoring me thods, in cases where an extension has been granted under paragraph (d) of this section) without a process equipment or unit shutdown, or through a hot tap, and that the proposed method for estimating GHG emissions during thePage 42 of 168

time before which the measurement device will be installed is appropriate. The Administrator will not initially approve the use of the proposed best available monitoring method past December 31, 2013. (6) Measurement device installation deadline . Any owner or operator that submits both a timely initial notice of intent and a timely completed extension request under paragraph (j)(3) of this section to extend use of best available monitoring methods for measurement device installation must install all such devices by July 1, 2011 unless the extension request under this paragraph (j) is approved by the Administrator before July 1, 2011. (7) One time extension past December 31, 2013 . If an owner or operator determines that a scheduled process equipment or unit shutdown will not occur by December 31, 2013, the owner or operator may re - apply to use best available monitoring methods for one additional time period, not to extend beyond December 31, 2015. To extend use of best available monitoring methods past December 31, 2013, the owner or opera tor must submit a new extension request by June 1, 2013 that contains the information required in paragraph (j)(4) of this section. The owner or operator must demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that it continues to not be reasonably feasible t o install the measurement device before December 31, 2013 without a processPage 43 of 168

equipment or unit shutdown, or that installation of the measurement device could only be done through a hot tap, and that the proposed method for estimating GHG emissions during the time before which the measurement device will be installed is appropriate. An owner or operator that submits a request under this paragraph to extend use of best available monitoring methods for measurement device installation must install all such devices by December 31, 2013, unless the extension request under this paragraph is approved by the Administrator.
