(Lognormal or Ties default to 

lognormal distribution using 

Bhaumik and Gibbons approach 

for lognormal distributions. Normal 

distributions use proposed UPL 

approach.)

Represents the variability selected as the MACT floor emission limit for the subcategory.

Represents the variability selected is less stringent than the MACT floor for existing units from the same subcategory.

Non-continental data in blue underline is represented by #6 Oil data.

(a) The TSM8 values were not selected for light, heavy, and non-continental liquid but the calculations are shown here for reference.
