/R Incorporated Providing Environmental Technical Support Since 1989

FROM: Joanne O’Loughlin, EC/R Incorporated

DATE: December 11, 2014

SUBJECT: Support for the Proposed Revisions for the Electronic Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Requirements for New Source Performance Standards

I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to revise the part 60 General 

Provisions(40 CFR part 60, subpart A) and various other new source performance standards 

(NSPS) subparts in part 60 of chapter 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The 

proposed revisions require affected facilities to submit specified reports to the EPA electronically 

and to allow affected facilities to maintain electronic records of these reports. The reports 

required to be submitted electronically by the proposal include summary reports, excess

emissions reports, performance test reports, performance evaluation reports and other similar 

reports required in part 60. The purpose of this memorandum is to document the basis for the 

proposed revisions. Section II presents a summary of the proposed revisions, including tables that 

list the affected and unaffected subparts in 

part 60. An Attachment to the memorandum includes an overview of the proposed revisions, as 

well as two tables that itemize the proposed revisions by subpart for the General Provisions and 

the other affected subparts. 

II. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED REVISIONS

The proposed revisions would require owners, operators or responsible officials to submit 

specified reports required under 40 CFR part 60 electronically to the EPA’s Central Data 

Exchange (CDX) (http://www.epa.gov/cdx/), rather than submitting them in paper format. The 

EPA's CDX is the point of entry for electronic environmental data submissions to the EPA. The

proposed revisions would not require the submission of any information that is not already 

required to be submitted under the current NSPS that are proposed to be revised by this rule nor 

would the proposed revisions increase the frequency of reporting. The proposed revisions would 

not change how facilities submit reports to their state, local or tribal air agency (air agencies) or 

how the air agencies interact with the affected facilities.

The proposed revisions focus on the submission of electronic reports to the EPA that provide 

direct measures of air emissions data. These reports are used by the EPA and other stakeholders 

to evaluate the emissions and performance of affected facilities. The EPA has also limited the 

scope of reports to those for which the reporting platform could be developed by the time the rule

is finalized. In the future, the EPA may propose to expand the number and type of air emissions 

reports collected electronically.

The General Provisions’ reporting and recordkeeping requirements apply to all NSPS without 

change unless a particular NSPS supplements or revises some or all of them to address source 

category specific needs. As such, the majority of NSPS are affected by this rulemaking either 

(1) because the specified General Provisions requirements apply or (2) because they are being 

individually amended in the proposed revisions. There are, however, some NSPS that are not 

being amended under the proposed revisions. For example, NSPS that do not require the 

submission of any of the air emissions data reports that are subject to the proposed electronic 

reporting are excluded from this rulemaking. In addition, there are also a few NSPS that were not 

amended under the proposed revisions because electronic reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements are being addressed under separate rulemakings. 

In addition to the NSPS, 40 CFR 60 includes several subparts that contain requirements for state 

emission guidelines. Unlike NSPS, which are federal regulations that apply directly to new, 

modified or reconstructed affected facilities, emission guidelines do not directly regulate affected 

facilities. Instead, emission guidelines establish requirements for state plans, which are the 

vehicle by which states implement the emission guidelines.1 Because air agencies have already 

submitted implementation plans for the majority of the emission guidelines, the EPA determined 

that it would be overly burdensome to require air agencies to revise and resubmit implementation 

plans solely to address electronic reporting. The EPA plans to address the emission guidelines 

individually in the future, when the emission guidelines are opened for revision or when a new 

emission guideline is proposed. 

Table 1 lists the subparts in 40 CFR part 60 that are affected by this rulemaking. The NSPS listed 

in Table 1 that rely solely on the part 60 General Provisions are not being specifically amended 

but are affected by the proposed revisions due to the proposed revisions to the General 

Provisions. Table 2 lists the subparts in part 60 that are unaffected or excluded by the proposed 

revisions and the rationale for why they are unaffected or excluded.

The Attachment to the memorandum includes an overview of the proposed revisions and two

tables that itemize the proposed revisions by subpart. Table A-1 presents a summary of the 

proposed revisions to the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A). Table A-2 presents a 

summary of the proposed revisions and type of revision made to other part 60 subparts.

Summary of Proposed Revisions to 40 CFR Part 60 for the Electronic 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for New Source 

Performance Standards Rule 

Overview

The proposed revisions would require an affected facility to submit certain reports required under 40 

CFR part 60 electronically to the EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) (http://www.epa.gov/cdx/), 

rather than submitting them in paper format. The proposed revisions would not require the 

submission of any information that is not already required to be submitted under the current new 

source performance standards (NSPS) proposed to be revised nor would the proposed revisions

change the way in which reports are submitted to an affected facilities’ relevant air agency. While the 

NSPS require several different types of reports, the proposed revisions focus on reports that provide 

direct measures of air emissions data such as summary reports, excess emission reports, performance 

test reports and performance evaluation reports. 

The proposed revisions include revisions to the part 60 General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

A). The part 60 General Provisions’ reporting and recordkeeping requirements apply to all NSPS 

without change unless a particular NSPS supplements or revises some or all of the requirements to 

address source category specific needs. Following is a brief summary of the reports codified in the 

part 60 General Provisions that are included in the proposed revisions:

 Summary reports and/or excess emissions and monitoring systems performance reports (EERSR) are required by section 60.7(c) of the General Provisions when an owner or operator is 

required to install a continuous monitoring system (CMS). The summary report form may be 

submitted in lieu of the excess emissions report when the downtime and excess emissions 

durations are sufficiently low, meeting thresholds defined in 40 CFR 60.7(d). Section 60.7(d) 

of the General Provisions specifies the content required in a summary report, which consists 

of basic excess emissions data (excess emissions duration and causes) and CMS performance 

data (CMS downtime duration and causes) in summary form. 

 The EER-SR are required by section 60.7(c) of the General Provisions if an owner or operator 

is required to install a CMS and (1) the total duration of excess emissions for the reporting 

period is 1 percent or greater of the total operating time for the reporting period or (2) the total 

CMS downtime for the reporting period is 5 percent or greater of the total operating time for 

the reporting period. Section 60.7(c) specifies the content required, which consists of detailed 

excess emissions data (magnitude of excess emissions; identification of periods of excess 

emissions that occur during startups, shutdowns and malfunctions; cause of any malfunction 

and the corrective action taken or preventive measures adopted) and CMS performance data 

(date and time identifying each period when the CMS was inoperative except for zero and 

span checks and the nature of the system repairs or adjustments). 

 Performance test (PT) reports required by section 60.8(a) of the General Provisions must be 

submitted after an owner or operator conducts a required performance test to demonstrate 

compliance with the emissions standard(s) and/or to establish control device operating 

parameters.

 Performance evaluation (PE) reports (also referred to as relative accuracy test audit [RATA] 

reports) required by section 60.13(c) of the General Provisions must be submitted after an 
December 11, 2014

A-3

owner or operator conducts a required performance evaluation of a CMS to demonstrate the 

accuracy of the CMS.

In addition to amending the General Provisions to add electronic reporting requirements for EER-SR, 

PT and PE, general changes were made to the General Provisions to accommodate electronic 

reporting. These changes include:

 Allowing reports electronically submitted to the EPA’s CDX to be maintained in electronic 

format.

 Revising terminology to acknowledge electronic submission of reports (e.g., “electronically 

submit” as opposed to “postmark”; deleting requirement for a “written report”).

 Excluding the requirement to send reports to the EPA Regional Office for reports submitted to 

the EPA’s CDX.

 Clarifying that Federal electronic reporting requirements cannot be exempted in delegation 

agreements.

Table A-1 presents a summary of the proposed revisions to the General Provisions.

In addition to the General Provisions, the other part 60 subparts were reviewed and revised to 

accommodate the inclusion of electronic reporting and recordkeeping requirements. In addition to PT, 

PE and EER-SR, many of the NSPS require the submission of air emissions data reports that are 

similar to the EER-SR required under the part 60 General Provisions. Although similar in purpose 

and required content, they are called by different names (e.g., annual reports, semiannual reports). 

Thus, in preparing the proposed revisions, each NSPS was reviewed to identify these analogous 

reports and revisions were made to require electronic submittal of these analogous reports. Listed 

below (A through I) are the types of evaluations and revisions made to the NSPS (other than the 

General Provisions) in order to accommodate the inclusion of electronic reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. Table A-2 presents a summary of the proposed revisions to the NSPS.

A. Revised subparts to require the electronic submission of performance test (PT) and/or

performance evaluation (PE) reports.

1. Determine if subpart requires a PT. 

a. If the subpart does not require a PT, no revision is needed. 

b. If the subpart requires a PT and is silent regarding reporting the results of the PT, then 

the GP apply to the subpart. Under this scenario, no revisions are necessary.

c. If the subpart requires a PT and specifies that the results of the PT must be reported, 

but the subpart does not cite the GP reporting requirements, then the subpart is revised 

to clarify that the results of the PT are to be submitted electronically (for PT conducted 

using test methods listed on the EPA’s Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) website) to 

the EPA's CDX by either cross-referencing the requirements of §60.8(j) of the GP or 

adding electronic reporting requirements language that parallels the requirements of 

§60.8(j).

d. Where electronic reporting requirements already exist in a subpart, the subpart is either 

revised to include updated language or the existing language is removed and the 

requirements of §60.8(j) are cross-referenced.
December 11, 2014

A-4

2. Determine if subpart requires a PE. 

a. If the subpart does not require a PE, no revision is needed.

b. If the subpart requires a PE and is silent regarding reporting the results of the PE, then 

the GP apply to the subpart. Under this scenario, no revisions are necessary.

c. If the subpart requires a PE and specifies that the results of the PE must be reported, 

but the subpart does not cite the GP reporting requirements, then the subpart is revised 

to clarify that the results of PE are to be submitted electronically (for PE with RATA 

pollutants listed on the EPA’s ERT website) to the EPA's CDX by either crossreferencing §60.13(c)(2) of the GP or adding electronic reporting requirements 

language that parallels the requirements of §60.13(c)(2).

d. Where electronic reporting requirements already exist in a subpart, the subpart is either 

revised to include updated language or the existing language is removed and the 

requirements of §60.13(c)(2) are cross-referenced.

B. Revised subparts to require the electronic submission of excess emissions and monitoring systems

performance reports and summary reports (EER-SR).

1. Determine if subpart requires an EER-SR. 

a. If the subpart does not require an EER-SR, no revision is needed.

b. If the subpart requires an EER-SR and is silent regarding reporting of EER-SR, the GP 

apply to the subpart. Under this scenario, no revisions are needed.

c. If the subpart requires an EER-SR, but the subpart does not cite the GP reporting 

requirements, the subpart is revised to clarify that the EER-SR is to be submitted 

electronically to the EPA's CDX by either cross-referencing the requirements of 

§60.7(c) of the GP or adding electronic reporting submission requirements language 

that parallels the requirements of §60.7(c).

d. Where electronic reporting requirements already exist in a subpart, the subpart is either 

revised to include updated language or the existing language is removed and the 

requirements of §60.7(c) are cross-referenced.

C. Revised subparts to require the electronic submission of subpart-specific reports analogous to 

EER-SR required in the GP.

3

1. Determine if subpart requires reports analogous to the EER-SR reports. 

a. If the subpart does not require a report analogous to EER-SR, no revision is needed.

b. If the subpart requires a report analogous to EER-SR, the subpart is revised to clarify 

that the analogous report is to be submitted electronically to the EPA's CDX by either 

cross-referencing the requirements of §60.7(c) of the GP or adding electronic reporting 

submission requirements language that parallels the requirements of §60.7(c).

 

3 Unique electronic forms will be developed for such reports.
December 11, 2014

A-5

c. Where electronic reporting requirements already exist in a subpart, the subpart is either 

revised to include updated language or the existing language is removed and the 

requirements of §60.7(c) are cross-referenced.

D. Revised subparts to make language consistent with the proposed electronic reporting 

requirements. 

1. Many of the NSPS currently reflect paper reporting requirements. 

2. Revised language inconsistent with e-reporting when it refers to reports or notifications 

subject to the proposed revisions (e.g., removed language that requires that reports be 

“postmarked” or “written”). 

E. Revised subparts to provide that reports electronically submitted to the EPA’s CDX may be 

maintained in electronic format. 

1. Most NSPS require the retention of copies of reports after submission. Historically, these 

copies have been required to be in hard copy form.

2. Revised language to allow that copies of reports submitted electronically via the EPA’s CDX 

may be maintained in electronic format. 

F. Revised subparts to indicate that approval of alternatives to electronic reporting is an authority 

retained by the Administrator.

1. Some NSPS specify that reporting requirements remain in force until and unless the EPA, in 

delegating enforcement authority to a state, approves reporting requirements or an alternative 

means of compliance. Revised this language to state that electronic reporting to the EPA 

cannot be waived.

2. Some NSPS list specific authorities that shall be retained by the Administrator and not 

transferred/delegated to a state. Revised affected NSPS to indicate that approval of an 

alternative to any electronic reporting to the EPA is an authority retained by the Administrator.

G. Revised to exclude air emissions data not prioritized for reporting to the EPA electronically at this 

time.

1. Specific air emissions reports may require air emissions data that the EPA is not requiring

electronically at this time.

2. Revised language to exclude data that the EPA has not prioritized for electronic reporting at 

this time. 

H. Revised summary and or other similar semiannual or annual air emission reports to exclude the 

need to submit PT/PE results where they are already required to be submitted to the EPA’s CDX.

1. Some NSPS require owners and operators of affected facilities to submit the results of their

PT/PE with their summary or other similar semiannual or annual air emission reports. 
December 11, 2014

A-6

2. Revised language so that, where PT/PE results are already submitted electronically to the 

EPA, the applicable air emission report would only require identifying information (e.g., the 

process unit and pollutant tested) and the date of the applicable PT/PE.
