(d)(1) Within 60 days after the date of completing each 

performance test (see §60.8) as required by this subpart, you 

must submit the results of the performance tests conducted to 

demonstrate compliance under this subpart you must submit the 

results of the performance tests conducted to demonstrate 

compliance under this subpart to the EPA's WebFIRE database by 

using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface 

(CEDRI) that is accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange 

(CDX) (http://www.epa.gov/cdx). Performance test data must be 

submitted in the file format generated through use of the EPA's 

Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) 

(seehttp://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/index.html). Only data 

collected using test methods on the ERT Web site are subject to 

this requirement for submitting reports electronically to 

WebFIRE. Owners or operators who claim that some of the 

information being submitted for performance tests is 

confidential business information (CBI) must submit a complete 

ERT file including information claimed to be CBI on a compact 

disk, flash drive or other commonly used electronic storage 

media to the EPA. The electronic media must be clearly marked as 

CBI and mailed to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: 

WebFIRE Administrator, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC

the discretion of the delegated authority, you must also submit 

these reports, including the CBI, to the delegated authority in 

the format specified by the delegated authority. For any 

performance test conducted using test methods that are not 

listed on the ERT Web site, you must submit the results of the 

performance test to the Administrator at the appropriate address 

listed in §63.13.

(2) Within 60 days after the date of completing each CEMS 

performance evaluation test as defined in §63.2, you must submit 

relative accuracy test audit (RATA) data to the EPA's CDX by 

using CEDRI in accordance with paragraph (d)(1) of this section. 

Only RATA pollutants that can be documented with the ERT (as 

listed on the ERT Web site) are subject to this requirement. For 

any performance evaluations with no corresponding RATA 

pollutants listed on the ERT Web site, you must submit the 

results of the performance evaluation to the Administrator at 

the appropriate address listed in §63.13.

(3) For PM performance test reports used to set a PM CPMS 

operating limit, the electronic submission of the test report 

must also include the make and model of the PM CPMS instrument, 

serial number of the instrument, analytical principle of the 

instrument (e.g. beta attenuation), span of the instruments

instrument zero output, technique by which this zero value was 

determined, and the average milliamp signals corresponding to 

each PM compliance test run.

(4) All reports required by this subpart not subject to the 

requirements in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section must 

be sent to the Administrator at the appropriate address listed 

in §63.13. The Administrator or the delegated authority may 

request a report in any form suitable for the specific case 

(e.g., by commonly used electronic media such as Excel 

spreadsheet, on CD or hard copy). The Administrator retains the 

right to require submittal of reports subject to paragraph 

(d)(1) and (2) of this section in paper format.

14. Section 60.65 is amended by:

a. Revising paragraphs (a) through (c); and 

b. Adding paragraphs (d) and (e). 

The revisions and additions read as follows: 

§60.65 Recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

(a) Each owner or operator required to install a CPMS or 

CEMS under sections §60.63(c) through (e) shall submit reports 

of excess emissions. The content of these reports must comply 

with the requirements §60.7(c), and the reports must be 

submitted following the procedure specified in §60.7(c). 
Draft (Do Not Cite or Quote) -Compare of NSPS Electronic Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Amendments with Existing Regulation Text – January 15, 2015

Notwithstanding the provisions of §60.7(c), such reports shall 

be submitted semiannually.

(b) Each owner or operator of facilities subject to the 

provisions of §60.63(c) through (e) shall submit semiannual 

reports of the malfunction information required to be recorded 

by §60.7(b). These reports shall be submitted following the 

procedure specified in §60.7(c) and shall include the frequency, 

duration, and cause of any incident resulting in deenergization 

of any device controlling kiln emissions or in the venting of 

emissions directly to the atmosphere. 

(c) The requirements of this section remain in force until 

and unless the Agency, in delegating enforcement authority to a 

State under section 111(c) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7411, 

approves reporting requirements or an alternative means of 

compliance surveillance adopted by such States. In that event, 

affected sources within the State will be relieved of the 

obligation to comply with this section, provided that they 

comply with the requirements established by the State. 

Electronic reporting to the EPA cannot be waived, and as such, 

the provisions of this paragraph do not relieve owners or 

operators of affected facilities of the requirement to submit 

the electronic reports required in this section to the EPA.
