AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing 

this action to correct and clarify certain 

text of the final action titled ‘‘National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants From Coal- and Oil-Fired 

Electric Utility Steam Generating Units 

and Standards of Performance for 

Fossil-Fuel-Fired Electric Utility, 

Industrial-Commercial-Institutional, and 

Small Industrial-CommercialInstitutional Steam Generating Units,’’ 

which was published in the Federal 

Register of Thursday, February 16, 

2012. We are also proposing to remove 

rule provisions establishing an 

affirmative defense for malfunction 

events in light of a recent court decision 

on the issue. 

DATES: Comments. Comments must be 

received on or before April 3, 2015. 

Public Hearing. If anyone contacts the 

EPA requesting a public hearing by 

February 23, 2015, the EPA will hold a 

public hearing on March 4, 2015 from 

1 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) to 5 p.m. 

(Eastern Standard Time) at the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

building located at 109 T.W. Alexander 

Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 

27711. If the EPA holds a public 

hearing, the EPA will keep the record of 

the hearing open for 30 days after 

completion of the hearing to provide an 

opportunity for submission of rebuttal 

and supplementary information.

I. Technical Corrections 

The final Clean Air Act (CAA) rules 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9303), 

establish national emission standards 

for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) 

from coal- and oil-fired electric utility 

steam generating units (EGUs), referred 

to as ‘‘the Mercury and Air Toxics 

Standards’’ or ‘‘MATS,’’ and new source 

performance standards (NSPS) for fossilfuel-fired electric utility, industrialcommercial-institutional, and small 

industrial-commercial-institutional 

steam generating units, referred to as the 

Utility NSPS. 

In this document, the EPA proposes to 

correct certain regulatory text. The 

proposed corrections can be categorized 

generally as follows: (a) Resolution of 

conflicts between preamble and 

regulatory text, (b) corrections that we 

stated we would make in response to 

comments that were inadvertently not 

made, and (c) clarification of language 

in regulatory text. Below, we identify 

each proposed technical correction to 

the regulatory text as found in the Code 

of Federal Regulations (i.e., 40 CFR). 

The EPA is soliciting comments on all 

of these proposed corrections. 

1. Section 60.49Da(f) is revised to 

amend the procedures for calculating 

compliance with the NSPS daily average 

particulate matter (PM) emission limit 

for affected facilities using PM 

continuous emission monitoring 

systems (CEMS) and that commenced 

construction, modification, or 

reconstruction before May 4, 2011. Even 

though it was not included in the 

proposal, in an effort to clarify certain 

language in 40 CFR 60.48Da(f), we 

amended the procedure for calculating 

compliance with the daily average PM 

limit for affected facilities for which 

construction, modification, or 

reconstruction commenced before May 

4, 2011, using PM CEMS (78 FR 24073; 

April 24, 2013). The amendments 

removed the provision that for operating 

days with less than 18 hours of PM 

CEMS data, the data for that day would 

be rolled into the following operating 

day(s) until 18 hours of data are 

available. The intent of the original 

language was to assure that compliance 

with the daily PM emission rate was not 

determined with significantly less than 

24 hours of data, but that all emissions 

data would still be used. The intent of 

the revised data was to eliminate the 

requirement to roll emissions data 

recorded on days without sufficient data 

to determine a daily average to the 

following operating day, but that a 

minimum of 18 hours would still be 

required to determine compliance with 

the daily PM standard. Industry 

requested reconsideration stating that 

they did not have an opportunity to 

comment on the issue, and that the 

revised calculation procedures could in 

fact require compliance determinations 

with significantly less than 24 hours of 

data. The proposed revisions would 

undo those changes and return the 

calculation procedures to the approach 

used prior to April 24, 2013. 

Specifically, for operating days with less 

than 18 hours of PM CEMS data, that 

data would be rolled into the following 

operating day(s) until over 18 hours of 

data are available to determine 

compliance with the operating day 

standard. We are soliciting comment on 

whether the intent of the current 

calculation procedures should be 

maintained (i.e., data collected on days 

with less than 18 hours of data would 

not be used to determine compliance 

with the PM standard and would also 

not be rolled into the following 

operating day(s)). If the current 

approach is maintained, the regulatory 

language would be revised to avoid 

situations where compliance 

calculations would be made with less 

than 18 hours of data. 

2. Section 63.9983(a) is revised to 

clarify that MATS does not apply to 

either major or area source combustion 

turbines, except for integrated 

gasification combined cycle (IGCC) 

units. In the final MATS rule, 40 CFR 

63.9983(a) exempted from MATS ‘‘any 

unit designated as a stationary 

combustion turbine, except an 

integrated gasification combined cycle 

(IGCC) unit, covered by 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart YYYY.’’ Because area source 

stationary combustion turbines are not 

subject to subpart YYYY, which is 

applicable to stationary combustion 

turbines located at major sources, the 

Agency received questions concerning 

the applicability of MATS to the area

www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/boiler/boilerpg.html. The 

prepublication version will be replaced with the 

Federal Register document when the proposal is 

published. 

2To the extent these EGUs bypassed their control 

devices without measuring emissions, the hours of 

bypass operation would need to be reported as 

hours of monitoring deviation and subject to 

potential enforcement action. 

source units in that category. The EPA 

intended by the exemption to exempt all 

stationary source combustion turbines 

other than IGCC units from the 

requirements of MATS, because the EPA 

does not interpret the statute to include 

those units within the definition of EGU 

in CAA section 112(a)(8). The proposed 

revisions to the regulations will clarify 

the EPA’s interpretation and intent and 

prevent future confusion concerning the 

applicability of the MATS rule to 

stationary combustion turbines located 

at area sources. 

3. Section 63.9983(b) and (c) is 

revised consistent with the definitional 

changes discussed below. The 

definitional changes are being proposed 

so that sources will know the time 

period to consider when determining 

whether their coal or oil utilization 

triggers applicability of the MATS rule. 

As explained below, the change is 

particularly important in the first 3 

years after the compliance date when 

sources will be required to estimate coal 

and oil utilization in their EGUs to 

determine applicability of the MATS 

rule. 

4. Section 63.9983(e) is added to 

clarify CAA section 112 applicability to 

the units that meet the definition of a 

natural gas-fired EGU in MATS, and, 

because they combust greater than 10 

percent biomass, also meet the 

definition of a biomass-fired boiler in 

the Industrial Boiler NESHAP (40 CFR 

part 63, subpart DDDDD). These 

overlapping definitions led to confusion 

in the regulated community about 

whether such units are natural gas-fired 

EGUS pursuant to MATS or biomassfired boilers subject to the Industrial 

Boiler NESHAP. We are revising the 

MATS rule to make clear that such units 

are biomass-fired boilers subject to the 

industrial boiler NESHAP. Similar 

revisions to the applicability provisions 

of the Industrial Boiler NESHAP have 

been proposed.1

5. Section 63.9991(c)(1) and (2) is 

being revised to clarify the conditions 

that are required in order to use the 

alternate sulfur dioxide (SO2) limit. 

6. Sections 63.10000(c)(1)(i)(A) and 

63.10005(h) are revised to clarify the 

provisions of units designated as being 

low emitting EGUs (LEE) when an acid 

gas scrubber and a bypass stack are 

present. 

7. Section 63.10000(c)(1)(i)(C) is 

added to allow EGUs the ability to seek 

LEE status if their bypass stacks vent 

through stacks that are able to measure 

emissions. In addition, the proposed 

language would allow EGUs with LEE 

status the ability to bypass emissions 

control devices during emergency 

periods provided certain fuel and time 

restrictions, along with notification 

requirements, occur. 

The final MATS rule did not allow 

EGUs whose emissions control devices 

had bypasses to seek LEE status. Owners 

and operators of EGUs whose emissions 

control devices had no bypass stacks, 

but instead routed bypass emissions 

through main stacks equipped with 

emissions measurement capability, 

requested that we allow their EGUs to 

seek LEE status provided emissions 

were measured during bypass events. 

We believe that EGU owners or 

operators that have the ability to 

measure and report emissions during 

bypass events should be able to seek 

LEE status as long as bypass emissions 

are included in the calculations 

required to demonstrate the LEE status 

eligibility. For this reason, we are 

proposing to allow this option. 

Also, a number of EGU owners or 

operators requested that we allow EGUs 

with LEE status the ability to bypass 

their emissions control devices in 

emergency conditions, provided that the 

EGUs were combusting clean fuels and 

that the bypass periods were of short 

duration.2 We reviewed the requests 

and believe that control device bypass 

operation for up to 2 percent of EGU 

operating hours while combusting clean 

fuel during emergency periods is 

reasonable, provided a report detailing 

the emergency event, its cause, the 

corrective action taken to alleviate the 

emergency event, and estimates of the 

emissions released during the 

emergency event are provided. In 

addition, an EGU owner or operator 

must include these emergency 

emissions along with performance test 

results in assessing whether its EGU 

maintains LEE status. We seek comment 

on the adequacy of the restrictions 

associated with bypass conditions 

regarding maintaining LEE status. 

8. Section 63.10000(c)(2)(iii) is 

revised to state that EGU owners or 

operators who choose to use quarterly 

testing and parametric monitoring for 

hydrogen fluoride (HF) or hydrogen 

chloride (HCl) compliance must include 

the continuous monitoring systems 

(CMS) that will be used in their sitespecific monitoring plans to comply 

with the monitoring requirements. 

9. Section 63.10000(m) is added to 

clarify that EGU owners or operators 

who choose to meet the work practice 

standards contained in paragraph (2) of 

the definition of startup may verify, 

instead of certify, monitoring systems 

used to generate data to meet the work 

practice standards. Moreover, this 

addition clarifies that those monitoring 

systems may be installed, verified, 

operated, maintained, and quality 

assured using manufacturer’s 

specifications. 

10. Section 63.10001 is revised to 

remove the affirmative defense 

provisions as explained in Section II 

below. The section is reserved. 

11. Section 63.10005(a) is revised to 

clarify that different compliance 

demonstrations may require different 

and additional types of data collection 

and to clarify the date by which 

compliance must be demonstrated for 

existing EGUs. 

12. Section 63.10005(a)(2) is revised 

to clarify the date by which compliance 

must be demonstrated for EGUs using 

CMS or sorbent trap monitoring 

systems. 

13. Section 63.10005(a)(2)(i) is revised 

to clarify applicability of the provision 

to both the 30- and 90-boiler operating 

day performance testing requirements. 

14. Section 63.10005(b)(1) is revised 

to clarify the time period allowed for 

existing EGUs to use stack test data 

collected prior to the applicable 

compliance date. 

15. Section 63.10005(b)(6) is added to 

clarify the date EGUs must begin 

conducting required stack tests when 

stack test data collected prior to the 

applicable compliance date are 

submitted to satisfy the initial 

performance test requirement. 

16. Section 63.10005(d)(3) and 

(d)(4)(i) is revised to more clearly state 

when compliance must be 

demonstrated. 

17. Section 63.10005(f) is revised to 

clarify when sources must complete the 

initial boiler tune-up after the 

compliance date, and the timing for 

subsequent tune-ups when a tune-up 

conducted prior to the compliance date 

is used to satisfy the initial tune-up 

requirement. 

18. Section 63.10005(h)(3) is revised 

to clarify that the alternate 30- and 90- 

day averaging provisions are both 

applicable to mercury (Hg) emission 

limits, and to clarify the sampling probe 

location. 

19. Section 63.10005(i)(4) is revised to 

delete paragraphs (iii) and (iv). The 

identified test methods contain 

requirements for fuel sampling, not 

determining fuel moisture content, as 

required in the provision.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Proposed Rules 8445 

20. Section 63.10006(f) is revised to 

specify EGU operational status with 

respect to performance testing; to 

identify the requirements—including 

make-up testing and reporting—if the 

performance testing schedule is missed 

apart from using existing skip 

procedures; and to identify intervals 

between performance tests. The final 

MATS rule had no provision that 

allowed an EGU owner or operator to 

skip a required performance test if its 

EGU was otherwise not operating; we 

did not believe the rule needed to be 

explicit in stating that EGUs need not be 

turned on solely to conduct 

performance testing. However, we have 

received questions regarding this 

circumstance. We believe it is 

appropriate to allow an EGU owner or 

operator the ability to skip a required 

performance test if its EGU is not 

otherwise operating, and are proposing 

this in this action. The final MATS rule 

had no provisions regarding make-up 

testing and reporting should a regularly 

scheduled performance test be missed 

for reasons other than the existing skip 

procedures. We believe it is appropriate 

to specify a schedule for required makeup testing and reporting, and are 

proposing such a schedule in this 

action. The final MATS rule specified 

the time periods between performance 

tests, but EGU owners or operators 

expressed concerns about being able to 

adhere to such a schedule. We believe 

their concerns about having too tight a 

timeline for retesting to occur and our 

concern about having a sufficient 

interval of time between tests such that 

the results better reflect characteristics 

of different periods can be addressed by 

specifying a minimum interval of time 

between subsequent performance tests, 

which we are proposing in this action. 

We welcome comments as to the need 

for, as well as efficacy of, these 

proposed revisions, as well as on these 

proposed intervals. 

21. Section 63.10009(a)(2) and (a)(2)(i) 

is revised to clarify that the 90-boiler 

operating day averaging period is 

available as an option for Hg emissions 

from non-low rank virgin coal-fired 

EGUs (i.e., EGUs in the subcategory 

‘‘unit designed for coal ≥8,300 Btu/lb’’). 

In the final MATS (77 FR 9303 at 9385), 

we had indicated that we were 

providing the 90-boiler operating day 

averaging period as an alternative 

compliance approach (to the standard 

30-boiler operating day averaging 

period) for Hg emissions from EGUs in 

that subcategory. However, the 

regulatory text in 40 CFR 63.10009(a)(2) 

did not clearly reflect this option. 

The term ‘‘gross electric output’’ is 

also corrected to ‘‘gross output’’ which 

is the term defined in 40 CFR 63.10042. 

22. Section 63.10009(b)(1) is revised 

to clarify group eligibility equations 1a 

and 1b. These equations were developed 

to provide EGU owners or operators a 

quick method for determining if their 

emissions averaging group could meet 

the emissions limit when operated at 

the maximum rated heat input and, in 

some cases, steam production. 

Commenters reported difficulty in using 

the equations in the final rule, so the 

equations have been revised so that 

individual EGU characteristics, whether 

from CEMS or stack testing results, are 

easier to input. We request comment on 

the proposed revisions concerning their 

usefulness in calculating the maximum 

potential emissions rate from an 

emissions averaging group. The term 

‘‘gross electric output’’ is also corrected 

to ‘‘gross output’’ which is the term 

defined in 40 CFR 63.10042. 

23. Section 63.10009(b)(2) and (3) is 

revised to correct the term ‘‘gross 

electric output’’ to ‘‘gross output’’ which 

is the term defined in 40 CFR 63.10042. 

24. Section 63.10009(f) is revised to 

clarify the conditions for determining 

the ability of the emissions averaging 

group to meet the emissions limit and 

to clarify use of the alternate Hg 

emission limit. Instead of relying on the 

maximum normal operating load of each 

EGU in determining the ability of the 

emissions averaging group to 

demonstrate initial compliance, as was 

contained in the final MATS rule, we 

are proposing in this action to use the 

maximum possible heat input or gross 

output of each EGU in determining the 

ability of the emission averaging group 

to demonstrate initial compliance. In 

addition, instead of calculating the 

maximum weighted average emissions 

rate, as used in the final MATS rule, we 

are proposing in this action to calculate 

the initial weighted average emissions 

rate. Finally, instead of specifying just 

one date for submitting an emissions 

averaging plan, as was done in the final 

MATS rule, we are proposing in this 

action to allow an EGU owner or 

operator the flexibility to choose other 

dates to begin using an emissions 

averaging plan by allowing the 

submission of an emissions averaging 

plan at least 120 days before the date on 

which emissions averaging is to begin. 

We believe these changes will provide 

additional flexibility without 

undermining the enforceability of the 

final standards. 

25. Section 63.10009(f)(2), (g)(1), 

(g)(2), and (j)(1)(ii) is revised to correct 

the term ‘‘gross electric output’’ to 

‘‘gross output’’ which is the term 

defined in 40 CFR 63.10042. 

26. Section 63.10010(a)(4) is revised 

to add a requirement to route exhaust 

gases that bypass emissions control 

devices through stacks that contain 

monitoring so that emissions can be 

measured and to clarify that hours that 

a bypass stack is in use are to be 

counted as hours of deviation from 

monitoring requirements. 

27. Section 63.10010(f)(3) is revised to 

clarify that 30-boiler operating day 

rolling averages are to be based only on 

valid hourly SO2 emission rates. 

28. Section 63.10010(h)(6)(i) and (ii), 

(i)(5)(A) and (B), and (j)(4)(i)(A) and (B) 

is revised to clarify that data collected 

during certain periods are not to be 

included in compliance assessments but 

such periods are to be included in 

annual deviation reports. The final 

MATS rule established that all data 

collected with PM CPMS, PM CEMS, 

and HAP metals CEMS during all boiler 

operating hours were to be used in 

assessing compliance except those data 

collected during monitoring system 

malfunctions, repairs associated with 

monitoring system malfunctions, 

required quality assurance or quality 

control activities, or monitoring out-ofcontrol periods. In addition, the final 

MATS rule sections combined the 

requirement to report the periods when 

data collected during these operating 

periods as deviations into one long 

sentence. In this action, we are 

proposing to separate these 

requirements into two sentences to ease 

readability. 

29. Section 63.10010(l)(i) is revised to 

replace the incorrect reference to 

§ 63.7(e) with the correct reference to 

§ 63.8(d)(2). 

30. Section 63.10010(l) and (l)(4) is 

revised to clarify that EGU owners or 

operators who choose to meet the work 

practice standards contained in 

paragraph (2) of the definition of startup 

may verify, instead of certify, 

monitoring systems used to generate 

data to meet the work practice 

standards. Moreover, this revision 

clarifies that those monitoring systems 

may be installed, verified, operated, 

maintained, and quality assured using 

manufacturer’s specifications. 

31. Section 63.10011(b) is revised to 

remove the incorrect reference to Table 

4 and to replace the incorrect reference 

to Table 7 with the correct reference to 

Table 6. 

32. Section 63.10011(c)(1) and (2) is 

revised to clarify the date by which 

compliance must be demonstrated by 

EGUs that use CEMS or sorbent trap 

monitoring systems. In addition, 

§ 63.10011(c)(1) is revised to clarify that

3See the description of the ‘‘third approach’’ at 

79 FR 24708 (April 24, 2013). 

the alternate Hg emission limit may be 

used. 

33. Section 63.10011(e) is revised to 

replace ‘‘according to’’ with ‘‘in 

accordance with.’’ 

34. Section 63.10011(g)(4)(v)(A) and 

Table 3 are revised to clarify our intent 

regarding clean fuel use ‘‘to the 

maximum extent possible.’’ Our goal in 

the work practice is to minimize HAP 

emissions during startup and shutdown 

periods, and that goal can be 

accomplished by minimizing primary 

fuel use and maximizing clean fuel use 

because of the inherently low HAP 

content of the defined ‘‘clean fuels.’’ As 

stated in the preamble to the final 

startup and shutdown reconsideration 

rule, EGUs that chose to comply with 

the alternative work practice will be 

required to have sufficient clean fuel 

capacity to startup and warm the facility 

to the point where the primary PM 

controls can be brought on line at the 

same time as, or within 1 hour of, the 

addition of the primary fuel to the EGU. 

79 FR 68777 at 68779, November 19, 

2014. We recognize that the clean fuel 

requirement may require sources to 

increase clean fuel capacity, modify the 

startup burners, and/or take additional 

actions to comply with the final rule. 79 

FR 68777 at 68779, November 19, 2014. 

Thus, we expect clean fuels to be 

combusted in at least the amount 

needed to bring the emissions control 

devices to operational levels necessary 

to comply with the numeric standards at 

the end of startup. We do not expect 

clean fuel use to the extent that it 

compromises the integrity of the boiler 

or its control devices; neither do we 

expect clean fuel to be combusted in 

excess of the amount needed to bring 

the emissions control devices to 

expected operational levels. We have 

determined that it is appropriate to 

slightly revise the language in the 

November 19, 2014, final rule. 79 FR 

68777. The proposed revision would 

change the language from ‘‘to the 

maximum extent possible’’ to ‘‘to the 

maximum extent practicable, taking into 

account boiler or control device 

integrity.’’ 

35. Section 63.10020(e) is revised to 

clarify that it applies only to those EGU 

owners or operators who choose to meet 

the work practice standards contained 

in paragraph (2) of the definition of 

startup. In addition, the undefined term 

‘‘electrical load’’ has been replaced with 

the defined term ‘‘gross output’’ and the 

incorrect terms ‘‘liquid to fuel ratio’’ 

and ‘‘the differential pressure of the 

liquid’’ in § 63.10020(e)(3)(i)(E) have 

been replaced with the correct terms 

‘‘liquid to flue gas ratio’’ and ‘‘the 

pressure drop across the scrubber.’’ 

Finally, in order to clarify our intent 

that existing instrumentation or 

engineering calculations can be used to 

provide flow information, 

§ 63.10020(e)(3)(i)(A) and (B) is revised 

to remove the term ‘‘rate’’ and to 

acknowledge the use of existing 

combustion air flow monitors or 

combustion equations. 

36. Section 63.10021(d)(3) is revised 

to clarify the type of monitoring that is 

to be used to demonstrate compliance. 

37. Section 63.10021(e) is revised to 

clarify the condition that allows delay of 

burner inspections for initial boiler 

tune-ups. 

38. Section 63.10021(e)(9)(i) and (ii) is 

revised to clarify the dates that tune-ups 

must be reported. 

39. Section 63.10023(b) and Table 6 

are revised to clarify that all EGUs using 

PM continuous parametric monitoring 

systems (CPMS) for compliance 

purposes are to follow the same 

procedure for determining the operating 

limit. The final rule allowed existing 

EGUs to determine the operating limit 

based on the highest 1-hour average PM 

CPMS value recorded during a 

performance test, even if that average 

time was associated with a test run in 

excess of the numeric standards, while 

new EGUs were required to use a 

scaling factor or the average PM CPMS 

value recorded during the PM 

compliance test demonstrating 

compliance with the PM limit to 

establish the operating limit.3 We 

believe all EGUs should use a consistent 

set of procedures for both new and 

existing EGUs for establishing an 

operating PM limit, so we are proposing 

in this action to revise the procedures 

for existing EGUs. The procedures for 

existing EGUs, contained in 

§ 63.10023(b)(1) are reserved, and 

§ 63.10023(b)(2) and Table 6 are revised 

so that all EGUs are to follow the 

operating limit development procedures 

for new EGUs (i.e., use a scaling factor 

or the average PM CPMS value recorded 

during the PM compliance test 

demonstrating compliance with the PM 

limit to establish the operating limit). 

40. Section 63.10030(e)(1) is revised 

to replace the phrase ‘‘identification of 

which subcategory the source is in’’ 

with ‘‘identification of the subcategory 

of the source.’’ 

41. Section 63.10030(e)(7)(i) is revised 

to clarify that the date of each stack test 

conducted for purposes of 

demonstrating LEE eligibility is to be 

provided. The final rule establishes that 

each test for pollutants other than Hg 

conducted over a 3-year period must 

meet the LEE emission limit in order for 

an EGU to be eligible for LEE status. 

42. Section 63.10030(e)(7)(iii) is 

added to establish the procedures by 

which an EGU owner or operator may 

switch between mass per heat input and 

mass per gross output emission limits. 

The EPA has received questions about 

how frequently an existing EGU could 

alternate between the two compliance 

formats. Although we did not envision 

that an owner or operator of an existing 

EGU would want to change the basis of 

the EGU’s emission limits, we believe it 

is reasonable to allow such action 

provided certain conditions, including 

performance testing demonstrating 

compliance with the new format, 

submission of a written request to 

change formats, and receipt of 

permission from the Administrator to 

change formats, are met. We request 

comment on these procedures, as well 

as on the concept of switching emission 

limits, particularly during performance 

averaging periods. 

43. Section 63.10030(e)(8)(i) is revised 

to clarify that it applies only to those 

EGU owners or operators who choose to 

meet the work practice standards 

contained in paragraph (2) of the 

definition of startup. Moreover, the 

provisions requiring a description of PM 

control device efficiencies and PM 

emission rates are revised to clarify that 

such efficiencies and emission rates are 

those of periods other than startup and 

shutdown periods. As the uncontrolled 

emission rates can be calculated from 

control device efficiencies and 

corresponding emission rates, the 

provisions requiring reporting of 

uncontrolled emission rates have been 

removed. 

In addition, as current EGU 

characteristics are most relevant for 

compliance with the MATS rule, the 

requirements concerning identification 

of intermediate changes to the EGU 

design have been removed. In order to 

reduce redundant reporting, the rule has 

been revised to require no additional 

identification if no changes to the EGU’s 

design characteristics have occurred. 

Finally, § 63.10030(e)(8)(ii)(A) has 

been revised to remove the requirement 

for use of an independent professional 

engineer. Consistent with the discussion 

contained in 71 FR 16869 (April 4, 

2006), we believe that a professional 

engineer, regardless of whether they are 

independent, is able to give a fair 

technical review because of the 

programs established by the state 

licensing boards, which serve to enforce 

objectivity from each registrant. We 

believe that the revision will allow 

EGUs to reduce burden without 

compromising environmental safety by 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS3
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Proposed Rules 8447 

using in-house expertise. Professional 

engineers employed by an EGU should 

be more familiar with its design and 

operational characteristics and should 

be in a position to expedite collection 

and submission of required information. 

44. Section 63.10030(f) is revised to 

add notification requirements for EGUs 

that move in and out of MATS 

applicability. 

45. Section 63.10031(c)(4) is revised 

to clarify the reporting requirements for 

EGU tune-ups. 

46. Section 63.10031(c)(5) is revised 

to clarify that it applies only to those 

EGU owners or operators who choose to 

meet the work practice standards 

contained in paragraph (2) of the 

definition of startup. 

47. Section 63.10031(c)(6) is revised 

to add emergency bypass reporting for 

EGUs with LEE status. 

48. Section 63.10031(f)(5) is revised to 

state that the Administrator retains the 

right to require submittal of reports 

subject to paragraph (f)(4), as well as 

paragraphs (f)(1) through (3). 

49. Section 63.10032(f) is revised to 

clarify that the requirements of 

§ 63.10032(f)(1) apply only to those EGU 

owners or operators who choose to meet 

the work practice standards contained 

in paragraph (1) of the definition of 

startup, while the requirements of 

§ 63.10032(f)(2) apply only to those EGU 

owners or operators who choose to meet 

the work practice standards contained 

in paragraph (2) of the definition of 

startup. 

50. The definitions of ‘‘Coal-fired 

electric utility steam generating unit,’’ 

‘‘Coal refuse,’’ ‘‘Fossil fuel-fired,’’ 

‘‘Integrated gasification combined cycle 

electric utility steam generating unit or 

IGCC,’’ ‘‘Limited-use liquid oil-fired 

subcategory,’’ ‘‘Natural gas-fired electric 

utility steam generating unit,’’ and ‘‘Oilfired electric utility steam generating 

unit’’ in § 63.10042 are revised to clarify 

the period of time to be included in 

determining the source’s applicability to 

the MATS. 

During the comment period on the 

proposed MATS rule, industry noted 

that many EGUs would convert to 

natural gas or other non-fossil fuel prior 

to the compliance date and those 

sources would remain subject to MATS 

because the proposed rule required 

sources to determine applicability based 

on the 3 calendar years prior to the 

compliance date. See, e.g., 40 CFR 

63.10042 (definition of ‘‘fossil fuelfired’’). The EPA agreed that this was 

not the EPA’s intent and in the final 

MATS rule revised several definitions, 

including the definition of fossil fuelfired, that required sources to evaluate 

usage after the applicable compliance 

date. 

The EPA inadvertently created 

confusion in its attempt to address 

industry concerns in the final MATS 

rule. The confusion is best illustrated by 

an analysis of the proposed and final 

definitions of ‘‘fossil fuel-fired.’’ The 

EPA’s proposed definition stated, in 

part, that ‘‘[i]n addition, fossil fuel-fired 

means any EGU that fired fossil fuel for 

more than 10.0 percent of the average 

annual heat input during the previous 3 

calendar years or for more than 15.0 

percent of the annual heat input during 

any one of those calendar year.’’ See 76 

FR 24975 at 25123 (emphasis added). 

The intent in this definition was to 

require sources to look at the usage from 

the 3 previous years to determine if the 

average or the single year usage from 

those 3 years exceeded either of the 

thresholds. 

To address the commenters’ concern, 

the EPA revised the definition of ‘‘fossil 

fuel-fired’’ in the final rule to state, in 

part, that ‘‘[i]n addition, fossil fuel-fired 

means any EGU that fired fossil fuels for 

more than 10.0 percent of the average 

annual year input during any 3 

consecutive calendar years or for more 

than 15.0 percent of the annual heat 

input during any one calendar year after 

the applicable compliance date.’’ 40 

CFR 63.10042 (emphasis added). This 

definition creates at least two potential 

compliance issues: (1) It creates 

confusion as to how sources are to 

determine MATS applicability during 

the first 3 years after the applicable 

compliance date; and (2) it subjects 

sources to MATS in perpetuity if the 

usage thresholds are ever exceeded after 

the compliance date—‘‘any 3 

consecutive calendar years’’ or ‘‘any one 

calendar year’’ ‘‘after the applicable 

compliance date.’’ 

The proposed revisions to the 

definitions address both issues. 

Concerning applicability in the first 3 

years after the applicable compliance 

date, this proposed rule states that 

sources must project their coal and oil 

usage for the first 3 years to determine 

whether the EGU will exceed either the 

10.0 or 15.0 percent threshold. The 

EPA’s understanding is that sources 

know with sufficient specificity the 

fuels they will use in advance, and 

requiring sources to project their usage 

accommodates industry concerns that 

the sources that are converting to 

natural gas or biomass prior to the 

compliance date not be subject to 

MATS. The EPA is also proposing that 

sources that permanently convert to 

natural gas or biomass after the 

compliance date are no longer subject to 

MATS, notwithstanding the coal or oil 

usage the previous 3 calendar years. 

The EPA is also proposing to revise 

the definitions to make clear that after 

the first 3 years of compliance, EGUs are 

required to evaluate applicability based 

on coal or oil usage from the 3 previous 

calendar years on an annual rolling 

basis, consistent with the definition of 

‘‘fossil fuel-fired’’ proposed in the 

MATS rule. This proposed change will 

prevent EGUs from being subject to 

MATS in perpetuity if they exceed the 

10 or 15 percent threshold at any time 

after the compliance date. 

A definition of ‘‘neural network’’ is 

also being added because the term is 

used in 40 CFR 63.10005(f), 63.10006(i), 

and 63.10021(e) and Table 3 to subpart 

UUUUU of Part 63 but is not defined. 

51. Table 1 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised to correct the term ‘‘gross 

electric output’’ to ‘‘gross output’’ which 

is the term defined in 40 CFR 63.10042 

in footnotes 1, 4, and 5. 

52. Table 2 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised to correct the term ‘‘gross 

electric output’’ to ‘‘gross output’’ which 

is the term defined in 40 CFR 63.10042 

in footnote 2. Provision 1(c) (the Hg 

limit for EGUs in the subcategory ‘‘unit 

designed for coal ≥8,300 Btu/lb’’) is also 

revised to clarify the applicability of the 

alternate 90-boiler operating day 

compliance option. 

53. Table 3 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised as described earlier to 

clarify the term ‘‘maximum extent 

possible.’’ 

In addition, we have received 

questions concerning the interpretation 

of the definition of startup, particularly 

the language defining the end of startup. 

Industry has inquired whether the 

triggering action is either the generation 

of electricity or of steam for any useful 

purpose under both definitions of 

startup. The EPA does interpret the end 

of startup in a consistent manner as 

between the two definitions. 

Specifically, we interpret the phrase 

‘‘. . . when any of the steam from the 

boiler is used . . . for any other 

purpose,’’ contained in paragraph (1) of 

the definition of startup, to have the 

same meaning as the phrase ‘‘for 

industrial, commercial, heating, or 

cooling purposes (other than the firstever firing of fuel in a boiler following 

construction of the boiler,’’ as provided 

in paragraph (2) of the definition of 

startup. EGUs trigger the end of startup 

whenever they use either electricity or 

steam for any useful purpose either on 

or offsite. 

54. Table 4 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised to clarify that existing as 

well as new EGUs using PM CPMS 

share the same procedures for 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS3
8448 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

developing operating limits (i.e., those 

that are based on the higher of a 

parameter scaled from all values 

obtained during an individual emissions 

test to 75 percent of the emissions limit 

or the average parameter value obtained 

from all runs of an individual emission 

test as the operating limit provided that 

the result of the individual emissions 

test met the emissions limit 

requirements). 

55. Table 5 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised to state that when using 

Method 5, you are to report the average 

of the final 2 filter weighings, and to 

clarify that when using Method 29, you 

are to report the metals matrix spike and 

recovery levels. These provisions are 

needed for the required electronic 

reporting. 

56. Table 6 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised to clarify that existing, as 

well as new, EGUs using PM CPMS 

share the same procedures for 

developing operating limits (i.e., those 

that are based on the higher of a 

parameter scaled from all values 

obtained during an individual emissions 

test to 75 percent of the emissions limit 

or the average parameter value obtained 

from all runs of an individual emission 

test as the operating limit provided that 

the result of the individual emissions 

test met the emissions limit). 

57. Table 8 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised to clarify that compliance 

reports are to include information 

required by § 63.10031(c)(5) and (6). 

58. Table 9 to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 is revised to correct an inadvertent 

omission of 30-day notification 

requirements of § 63.9. 

59. Paragraphs 4.1.1.3 and 5.1.2.3 and 

Tables A–1 and A–2 to Appendix A to 

subpart UUUUU of Part 63 are revised 

to adjust Hg CEMS language regarding 

converters. Research has shown that all 

Hg CEMS need weekly single-level 

system integrity checks. 

60. Paragraph 7.1.2.5 to Appendix A 

to subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is added 

to require that owners or operators flag 

EGUs that are part of emission averaging 

groups. 

61. Paragraph 3.2.1.2.1 of Appendix A 

to subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised 

to specifically indicate that Hg gas 

generators and cylinders are allowed. 

62. Paragraphs 4.1.1.1, Table A–1, 

Table A–2, 5.1.2.1, and 4.1.1.3 of 

Appendix A to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 are revised to exclude use of 

oxidized Hg gas standards for daily 

calibration of Hg CEMS. 

63. Paragraph 5.1.2.3 of Appendix A 

to subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised 

to make the weekly single level system 

integrity check mandatory. 

64. Paragraphs 4.1.1.5.2, Table A–1, 

Table A–2, and 4.1.1.5 of Appendix A 

to subpart UUUUU of Part 63 are 

revised to provide an alternative relative 

accuracy test audit (RATA) procedure 

for EGUs with low emissions that is 

related specifically to the emission 

standard. 

65. Paragraph 5.2.1 of Appendix A to 

subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised to 

correct the number of days for sorbent 

trap use from 14 to 15. 

66. Paragraph 6.2.2.3 of Appendix A 

to subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised 

to clarify that the 90-day alternative Hg 

standard may be used and that electrical 

output is gross output. 

67. Paragraph 7.1.2.6 of Appendix A 

to subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is added 

to clarify that EGU owners or operators 

are to keep records of their EGUs that 

constitute emissions averaging groups. 

68. Paragraphs 2.1, 2.3, 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 

3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 5, 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 of 

Appendix B to subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 are revised to clarify that use of 

Performance Specification (PS) 18, a 

proposed technology-neutral PS for HCl 

CEMS which will soon be promulgated, 

will be allowed. Consistent with our 

statements in the final rule, we expect 

that PS 18 will likely be promulgated in 

advance of the rule’s compliance date. 

An EGU owner or operator who wishes 

to use proposed PS 18, along with 

quality assurance (QA) procedure 6, 

prior to their promulgation dates is 

welcome to submit an alternative 

monitoring request in accordance with 

the requirements of § 63.8(f) for use of 

proposed PS 18 and QA Procedure 6 to 

us. 

69. Paragraph 5.4 of Appendix B to 

subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is added as 

part of the renumbering due to the 

addition of PS 18. 

70. Paragraph 8 of Appendix B to 

subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised to 

accommodate use of PS 18. 

71. Paragraphs 10.1.8, 10.1.8.1, 

10.1.8.1.1, and 10.1.8.1.2 of Appendix B 

to Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 are 

revised as part of the renumbering due 

to the addition of PS 18. 

72. Paragraph 10.1.8.1.3 of Appendix 

B to Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is 

revised to clarify that records of relative 

accuracy audits (RAAs) are also 

required. 

73. Paragraphs 10.1.8.2, 10.1.8.1.2.1, 

and 10.1.8.1.2.2 of Appendix B to 

Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 are revised 

to clarify the quarterly gas audit 

recordkeeping requirements for PS 15 

and the quarterly data accuracy 

assessments for PS 18 (which are 

reserved). 

74. Paragraph 11.4 of Appendix B to 

Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised to 

replace the incorrect abbreviation ‘‘i.e.’’ 

with ‘‘e.g.’’ 

75. Paragraph 11.4.2 of Appendix B to 

Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised to 

specify the requirements of the daily 

beam intensity checks for EGUs using 

PS 18. 

76. Paragraphs 11.4.2.1, 11.4.2.2, 

11.4.2.3, 11.4.2.4, 11.4.2.5, 11.4.2.6, 

11.4.2.7, 11.4.2.8, 11.4.2.9, 11.4.2.10, 

11.4.2.11, 11.4.2.12, and 11.4.2.13 of 

Appendix B to Subpart UUUUU of Part 

63 are revised to hold the requirements 

of the daily beam intensity checks for 

PS 18 (which are reserved). 

77. Paragraph 11.4.3 of Appendix B to 

Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is revised to 

reflect the reporting requirements for PS 

15. 

78. Paragraphs 11.4.3.1, 11.4.3.2, 

11.4.3.3, 11.4.3.4, 11.4.3.5, 11.4.3.6, 

11.4.3.7, 11.4.3.8, 11.4.3.9, 11.4.3.10, 

11.4.3.11, 11.4.3.12, and 11.4.3.13 of 

Appendix B to Subpart UUUUU of Part

11.4.5.1, 11.4.6, 11.4.6.1 of Appendix B 

to Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 are added 

to reserve the reporting requirements for 

quarterly gas audit information and for 

quarterly dynamic spiking for PS 18. 

81. Paragraph 11.4.7 of Appendix B to 

Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 is added to 

include reporting requirements for

II. Affirmative Defense for Violation of 

Emission Standards During 

Malfunction 

In several prior CAA section 112 and 

CAA section 129 rules, including this 

rule, the EPA included an affirmative 

defense to civil penalties for violations 

caused by malfunctions in an effort to 

create a system that incorporates some 

flexibility, recognizing that there is a 

tension, inherent in many types of air 

regulation, to ensure adequate 

compliance while simultaneously 

recognizing that despite the most 

diligent of efforts, emission standards 

may be violated under circumstances 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS3
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Proposed Rules 8449 

entirely beyond the control of the 

source. Although the EPA recognized 

that its case-by-case enforcement 

discretion provides sufficient flexibility 

in these circumstances, it included the 

affirmative defense to provide a more 

formalized approach and more 

regulatory clarity. See Weyerhaeuser Co. 

v. Costle, 590 F.2d 1011, 1057–58 (D.C. 

Cir. 1978) (holding that an informal 

case-by-case enforcement discretion 

approach is adequate); but see Marathon 

Oil Co. v. EPA, 564 F.2d 1253, 1272–73 

(9th Cir. 1977) (requiring a more 

formalized approach to consideration of 

‘‘upsets beyond the control of the permit 

holder.’’). Under the EPA’s regulatory 

affirmative defense provisions, if a 

source could demonstrate in a judicial 

or administrative proceeding that it had 

met the requirements of the affirmative 

defense in the regulation, civil penalties 

would not be assessed. Recently, the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit vacated an 

affirmative defense in one of the EPA’s 

CAA section 112 regulations. NRDC v. 

EPA, 749 F.3d 1055 (D.C. Cir., 2014) 

(vacating affirmative defense provisions 

in CAA section 112 rule establishing 

emission standards for Portland cement 

kilns). The court found that the EPA 

lacked authority to establish an 

affirmative defense for private civil suits 

and held that under the CAA, the 

authority to determine civil penalty 

amounts in such cases lies exclusively 

with the courts, not the EPA. 

Specifically, the court found: ‘‘As the 

language of the statute makes clear, the 

courts determine, on a case-by-case 

basis, whether civil penalties are 

‘appropriate.’ ’’ See NRDC, 749 F.3d at 

1063 (‘‘[U]nder this statute, deciding 

whether penalties are ‘appropriate’ . . . 

is a job for the courts, not EPA.’’). 

In light of NRDC, the EPA is 

proposing to remove the regulatory 

affirmative defense provision in the 

current rule. As explained above, if a 

source is unable to comply with 

emissions standards as a result of a 

malfunction, the EPA may use its caseby-case enforcement discretion to 

provide flexibility, as appropriate. 

Further, as the D.C. Circuit recognized, 

in an EPA or citizen enforcement action, 

the court has the discretion to consider 

any defense raised and determine 

whether penalties are appropriate. Cf. 

NRDC, at 1064 (arguments that violation 

were caused by unavoidable technology 

failure can be made to the courts in 

future civil cases when the issue arises). 

The same is true for the presiding officer 

in EPA administrative enforcement 

actions. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Additional information about these 

statutes and Executive Orders can be 

found at http://www2.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders. 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action is not a significant 

regulatory action and was, therefore, not 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

This action does not impose any new 

information collection burden. This 

action clarifies but does not change the 

information collection requirements 

previously finalized and, as a result, 

does not impose any additional burden 

on industry. The OMB has previously 

approved the information collection 

requirements contained in the existing 

regulations (see 77 FR 9303, February 

16, 2012) under the provisions of the 

PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has 

assigned OMB control number 2060– 

0567. The OMB control numbers for the 

EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

I certify that this action will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The EPA has determined that none of 

the small entities will experience a 

significant impact because the action 

imposes no additional regulatory 

requirements on owners or operators of 

affected sources. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain an 

unfunded mandate as described in 2 

U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. The action imposes no 

enforceable duty on any state, local, or 

tribal governments or the private sector. 

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. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13175. This action does not 

significantly or uniquely affect the 

communities of tribal governments. 

Thus, Executive Order 13175, does not 

apply to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045 as applying only to those 

regulatory actions that concern 

environmental health or safety risks that 

the EPA has reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it does not concern an 

environmental health risk or safety risk. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211 because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

This rulemaking does not involve 

technical standards. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

The EPA believes the human health or 

environmental risk addressed by this 

action will not have potential 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on minority, low-income or indigenous 

populations. The corrections do not 

involve special consideration of 

environmental justice-related issues as 

required by Executive Order 12898, and 

an evaluation was not necessary for this 

action. 

The EPA’s compliance with the above 

statutes and Executive Orders for the 

underlying rule is discussed in the 

February 16, 2012, Federal Register 

document containing ‘‘National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air

For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the EPA proposes to correct 

and amend 40 CFR parts 60 and 63 to 

read as follows: 

PART 60—STANDARDS OF 

PERFORMANCE FOR NEW 

STATIONARY SOURCES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 60 

continues to read as follows: 

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

■ 2. Section 60.48Da is amended by 

revising paragraph (f) to read as follows: 

§ 60.48Da Compliance provisions. 

* * * * * 

(f) For affected facilities for which 

construction, modification, or 

reconstruction commenced before May 

4, 2011, compliance with the applicable 

daily average PM emissions limit is 

determined by calculating the 

arithmetic average of all hourly 

emission rates each boiler operating 

day, except for data obtained during 

startup, shutdown, or malfunction 

periods. Daily averages are only 

calculated for boiler operating days that 

have non-out-of-control data for at least 

18 hours of unit operation during which 

the standard applies. Instead, all of the 

non-out-of-control hourly emission rates 

of the operating day(s) not meeting the 

minimum 18 hours non-out-of-control 

data daily average requirement are 

averaged with all of the non-out-ofcontrol hourly emission rates of the next 

boiler operating day with 18 hours or 

more of non-out-of-control PM CEMS 

data to determine compliance. For 

affected facilities for which construction 

or reconstruction commenced after May 

3, 2011 that elect to demonstrate 

compliance using PM CEMS, 

compliance with the applicable PM 

emissions limit in § 60.42Da is 

determined on a 30-boiler operating day 

rolling average basis by calculating the 

arithmetic average of all hourly PM 

emission rates for the 30 successive 

boiler operating days, except for data 

obtained during periods of startup and 

shutdown.

POLLUTANTS FOR SOURCE 

CATEGORIES 

■ 3. The authority citation for part 63 

continues to read as follows: 

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

■ 4. Section 63.9983 is amended by: 

■ a. Revising the section heading and 

paragraphs (a), (b), and (c); and 

■ Adding paragraph (e). 

The revisions and addition read as 

follows: 

§ 63.9983 Are any fossil fuel-fired electric 

generating units not subject to this 

subpart? 

* * * * * 

(a) Any unit designated as a major 

source stationary combustion turbine 

subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY 

and any unit designated as an area 

source stationary combustion turbine, 

other than an integrated gasification 

combined cycle (IGCC) unit. 

(b) Any electric utility steam 

generating unit that is not a coal- or oilfired EGU and that meets the definition 

of a natural gas-fired EGU in § 63.10042. 

(c) Any electric utility steam 

generating unit that has the capability of 

combusting more than 25 MW of coal or 

oil but does not meet the definition of 

a coal- or oil-fired EGU because it did 

not fire sufficient coal or oil to satisfy 

the average annual heat input 

requirement set forth in the definitions 

for coal-fired and oil-fired EGUs in 

§ 63.10042. Heat input means heat 

derived from combustion of fuel in an 

EGU and does not include the heat 

derived from preheated combustion air, 

recirculated flue gases or exhaust gases 

from other sources (such as stationary 

gas turbines, internal combustion 

engines, and industrial boilers). 

* * * * * 

(e) Any electric utility steam 

generating unit that meets the definition 

of a natural gas-fired EGU under this 

subpart and that fires at least 10 percent 

biomass is an industrial boiler subject to 

standards established under 40 CFR part 

63, subpart DDDDD, if it otherwise 

meets the applicability provisions in 

that rule. 

■ 5. Section 63.9991 is amended by 

revising paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) to read 

as follows: 

§ 63.9991 What emission limitations, work 

practice standards, and operating limits 

must I meet? 

* * * * * 

(c) * * * 

(1) Has a system using wet or dry flue 

gas desulfurization technology and an 

SO2 continuous emissions monitoring 

system (CEMS) installed on the EGU; 

and 

(2) At all times, you operate the wet 

or dry flue gas desulfurization 

technology and the SO2 CEMS installed 

on the EGU consistent with 

§ 63.10000(b). 

■ 6. Section 63.10000 is amended by: 

■ a. Revising paragraph (c)(1)(i); 

■ b. Revising paragraph (c)(2)(iii); and 

■ c. Adding paragraph (m). 

The revisions and additions read as 

follows: 

§ 63.10000 What are my general 

requirements for complying with this 

subpart? 

* * * * * 

(c)(1) * * * 

(i) For a coal-fired or solid oil-derived 

fuel-fired EGU or IGCC EGU, you may 

conduct initial performance testing in 

accordance with § 63.10005(h), to 

determine whether the EGU qualifies as 

a low emitting EGU (LEE) for one or 

more applicable emission limits, except: 

(A) You may not pursue the LEE 

option if your coal-fired, IGCC, or solid 

oil-derived fuel-fired EGU is equipped 

with a main stack and a bypass stack 

exhaust configuration that allows the 

EGU to bypass any pollutant control 

device. 

(B) You may not pursue the LEE 

option for Hg if your coal-fired, solid 

oil-derived fuel-fired EGU or IGCC EGU 

is new. 

(C) Notwithstanding paragraph 

(c)(1)(i)(A) of this section, you may 

pursue the LEE option provided: 

(1) Your control device bypass stack 

is routed through the EGU main stack so 

that emissions are measured during the 

bypass event; or 

(2) You bypass your EGU control 

device only during emergency periods 

for no more than a total of 2 percent of 

your EGU’s annual operating hours; you 

use clean fuels to the maximum extent 

practicable during an emergency period; 

and you prepare and submit a report 

describing the emergency event, its 

cause, corrective action taken, and 

estimates of emissions released during 

the emergency event. You must include 

these emergency emissions along with 

performance test results in assessing 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS3
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Proposed Rules 8451 

whether your EGU maintains LEE 

status. 

* * * * * 

(2) * * * 

(iii) If your existing liquid oil-fired 

unit does not qualify as a LEE for 

hydrogen chloride (HCl) or for hydrogen 

fluoride (HF), you may demonstrate 

initial and continuous compliance 

through use of an HCl CEMS, an HF 

CEMS, or an HCl and HF CEMS, 

installed and operated in accordance 

with Appendix B to this rule. As an 

alternative to HCl CEMS, HF CEMS, or 

HCl and HF CEMS, you may 

demonstrate initial and continuous 

compliance through quarterly 

performance testing and parametric 

monitoring for HCl and HF. If you 

choose to use quarterly testing and 

parametric monitoring, then you must 

also develop a site-specific monitoring 

plan that identifies the CMS you will 

use to ensure that the operations of the 

EGU remains consistent with those 

during the performance test. As another 

alternative, you may measure or obtain, 

and keep records of, fuel moisture 

content; as long as fuel moisture does 

not exceed 1.0 percent by weight, you 

need not conduct other HCl or HF 

monitoring or testing. 

* * * * * 

(m) Should you choose to rely on 

paragraph (2) of the definition of 

‘‘startup’’ in § 63.10042 for your EGU, 

on or before the date your EGU is 

subject to this subpart, you must install, 

verify, operate, maintain, and quality 

assure each monitoring system 

necessary for demonstrating compliance 

with the work practice standards for PM 

or non-mercury HAP metals controls 

during startup periods and shutdown 

periods required to comply with 

§ 63.10020(e). 

(1) You may rely on monitoring 

system specifications or instructions or 

manufacturer’s specifications when 

installing, verifying, operating, 

maintaining, and quality assuring each 

monitoring system. 

(2) You must collect, record, report, 

and maintain data obtained from these 

monitoring systems during startup 

periods and shutdown periods. 

§ 63.10001 [Removed and reserved] 

■ 7. Section 63.10001 is removed and 

reserved. 

■ 8. Section 63.10005 is amended by: 

■ a. Revising paragraphs (a) 

introductory text, (a)(2) introductory 

text and (a)(2)(i); 

■ b. Revising paragraph (b)(1); 

■ c. Adding paragraph (b)(6); 

■ d. Revising paragraphs (d)(3), (d)(4)(i); 

■ f. Revising paragraph (f); 

■ g. Revising paragraph (h) introductory 

text, and (h)(3) introductory text; 

■ h. Removing paragraphs (i)(4)(iii) and 

(iv). 

The revisions and additions read as 

follows: 

§ 63.10005 What are my initial compliance 

requirements and by what date must I 

conduct them? 

(a) General requirements. For each of 

your affected EGUs, you must 

demonstrate initial compliance with 

each applicable emissions limit in Table 

1 or 2 of this subpart through 

performance testing. Where two 

emissions limits are specified for a 

particular pollutant (e.g., a heat inputbased limit in lb/MMBtu and an 

electrical output-based limit in lb/

MWh), you may demonstrate 

compliance with either emission limit. 

For a particular compliance 

demonstration, you may be required to 

conduct one or more of the following 

activities in conjunction with 

performance testing: collection of data, 

e.g., hourly electrical load data 

(megawatts); establishment of operating 

limits according to § 63.10011 and 

Tables 4 and 7 to this subpart; and CMS 

performance evaluations. In all cases, 

you must demonstrate initial 

compliance no later than the date in 

paragraph (f) of this section for tune-up 

work practices for existing EGUs; the 

date that compliance must be 

demonstrated, as given in § 63.9984 for 

other requirements for existing EGUs; 

and in paragraph (g) of this section for 

all requirements for new EGUs. 

(1) * * * 

(2) To demonstrate initial compliance 

using either a CMS that measures HAP 

concentrations directly (i.e., an Hg, HCl, 

or HF CEMS, or a sorbent trap 

monitoring system) or an SO2 or PM 

CEMS, the initial performance test may 

occur on or before the first averaging 

period (30- or, for certain coal-fired 

existing EGUs that use emissions 

averaging for Hg, 90-boiler operating 

days) after the date that compliance 

with this subpart is required but must 

occur such that the averaging period is 

completed on or before the date that 

compliance must be demonstrated. 

(i) The CMS performance test must 

demonstrate compliance with the 

applicable Hg, HCl, HF, PM, or SO2

emissions limit in Table 1 or 2 to this 

subpart. 

* * * * * 

(b) * * * 

(1) For a performance test of an 

existing EGU based on stack test data, 

the test was conducted between 180 and 

365 calendar days prior to the date that 

compliance must be demonstrated as 

specified in § 63.9984. 

* * * * * 

(6) If the performance test data that 

are collected prior to the date that 

compliance must be demonstrated are 

used to demonstrate initial compliance 

with applicable emissions limits, the 

interval for subsequent stack tests 

begins on the date that compliance must 

be demonstrated. 

* * * * * 

(d) * * * 

(3) For affected EGUs that are either 

required to or elect to demonstrate 

initial compliance with the applicable 

Hg emission limit in Table 1 or 2 of this 

subpart using Hg CEMS or sorbent trap 

monitoring systems, initial compliance 

must be demonstrated no later than the 

applicable date specified in § 63.9984(f) 

for existing EGUs and in paragraph (g) 

of this section for new EGUs. Initial 

compliance is achieved if the arithmetic 

average of 30- (or 90-) boiler operating 

days of quality-assured CEMS (or 

sorbent trap monitoring system) data, 

expressed in units of the standard (see 

section 6.2 of appendix A to this 

subpart), meets the applicable Hg 

emission limit in Table 1 or 2 to this 

subpart. 

(4) * * * 

(i) You must demonstrate initial 

compliance no later than the applicable 

date specified in § 63.9984(f) for existing 

EGUs and in paragraph (g) of this 

section for new EGUs. 

* * * * * 

(f) For an existing EGU without a 

neural network, a tune-up must occur 

on or before 180 days after April 16, 

2015. For an existing EGU with a neural 

network, a tune-up must occur on or 

before 180 days after April 16, 2016. If 

a tune-up occurs prior to April 16, 2015, 

you must keep records showing that the 

operating conditions remain the same 

and that the tune-up met all rule 

requirements. 

* * * * * 

(h) Low emitting EGUs. The 

provisions of this paragraph (h) apply to 

pollutants with emissions limits from 

new EGUs except Hg and to all 

pollutants with emissions limits from 

existing EGUs. You may pursue this 

compliance option unless prohibited 

pursuant to § 63.10000(c)(1)(i). 

* * * * * 

(3) For Hg, you must conduct a 30- (or 

90-) boiler operating day performance 

test using Method 30B in appendix A– 

8 to part 60 of this chapter to determine 

whether a unit qualifies for LEE status. 

Locate the Method 30B sampling probe 

tip at a point within 10 percent of the 

duct area centered about the duct’s 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS3
8452 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

centroid at a location that meets Method 

1 in appendix A–1 to part 60 of this 

chapter and conduct at least three 

nominally equal length test runs over 

the 30-boiler operating day test period. 

Collect Hg emissions data continuously 

over the entire test period (except when 

changing sorbent traps or performing 

required reference method QA 

procedures). As an alternative to 

constant rate sampling per Method 30B, 

you may use proportional sampling per 

section 8.2.2 of Performance 

Specification 12 B in appendix B to part 

60 of this chapter. 

* * * * * 

■ 9. Section 63.10006 is amended by 

revising paragraph (f) to read as follows: 

§ 63.10006 When must I conduct 

subsequent performance tests or tune-ups? 

* * * * * 

(f) Time between performance tests. 

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of 

§ 63.10021(d)(1), the requirements listed 

in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this section, 

and the requirements of paragraph (f)(3) 

of this section, you must complete 

performance tests for your EGU as 

follows: 

(i) At least 45 calendar days must 

separate performance tests conducted 

every quarter; 

(ii) At least 370 calendar days must 

separate performance tests conducted 

every year; and 

(iii) At least 1,050 calendar days must 

separate performance tests conducted 

every 3 years. 

(2) Although you are not required to 

operate your EGU solely in order to 

conduct a performance test, you must 

conduct a performance test in the 4th 

quarter of a calendar year if your EGU 

has skipped performance tests in the 3 

quarters of the calendar year. 

(3) If your EGU misses a performance 

test deadline due to being inoperative 

and if you have at least 168 boiler 

operating hours in the next test period, 

you must complete an additional 

performance test in that period as 

follows: 

(i) At least 15 calendar days must 

separate two performance tests 

conducted in the same quarter. 

(ii) At least 107 calendar days must 

separate two performance tests 

conducted in the same calendar year. 

(iii) At least 350 calendar days must 

separate two performance tests 

conducted in the same 3 year period. 

* * * * * 

■ 10. Section 63.10009 is amended by: 

■ a. Revising paragraphs (a)(2) 

introductory text and (a)(2)(i); 

■ b. Revising paragraphs (b)(1) through 

(3); 

■ c. Revising paragraphs (f) introductory 

text and paragraph (f)(2); 

■ d. Revising paragraphs (g)(1) and (2); 

and 

■ e. Revising paragraph (j)(1)(ii). 

The revisions read as follows: 

§ 63.10009 May I use emissions averaging 

to comply with this subpart? 

(a) * * * 

(2) You may demonstrate compliance 

by emissions averaging among the 

existing EGUs in the same subcategory, 

if your averaged Hg emissions for EGUs 

in the ‘‘unit designed for coal ≥8,300

averaging for Hg, a 90-boiler operating 

day) rolling average emissions rate 

obtained with certified CEMS, 

expressed in units of the standard, may 

occur on or before the first averaging 

period after the date that compliance 

with the subpart is required but must

request will be published in the Federal 

Register for notice and comment 

rulemaking. Until promulgation in the 

Federal Register of the final alternative 

non-opacity emission standard, you 

shall comply with paragraph (1) of the 

definition of ‘‘startup’’ in § 63.10042. 

You shall not implement the alternative 

non-opacity emissions standard until 

promulgation in the Federal Register of 

the final alternative non-opacity 

emission standard.

definition of ‘‘Neural network or neural 

net’’; and 

■ c. Revising the definition of ‘‘Oil-fired 

electric utility steam generating unit.’’ 

The revisions and additions read as 

follows: 

§ 63.10042 What definitions apply to this 

subpart? 

* * * * * 

Coal-fired electric utility steam 

generating unit means an electric utility 

steam generating unit meeting the 

definition of ‘‘fossil fuel-fired’’ that 

burns coal for more than 10.0 percent of 

the average annual heat input during the 

3 previous calendar years after the 

compliance date for your facility in 

§ 63.9984 or for more than 15.0 percent 

of the annual heat input during any one 

of those calendar years. EGU owners 

and operators must estimate coal, oil, 

and natural gas usage for the first 3 

calendar years after the applicable 

compliance date and they are solely 

responsible for assuring compliance 

with this final rule or other applicable 

standard based on their fuel usage 

projections. 

Coal refuse means waste products of 

coal mining, physical coal cleaning, and 

coal preparation operations (e.g. culm, 

gob, etc.) containing coal, matrix 

material, clay, and other organic and 

inorganic material. 

* * * * * 

Fossil fuel-fired means an electric 

utility steam generating unit (EGU) that 

is capable of combusting more than 25 

MW of fossil fuels. To be ‘‘capable of 

combusting’’ fossil fuels, an EGU would 

need to have these fuels allowed in its 

operating permit and have the 

appropriate fuel handling facilities onsite or otherwise available (e.g., coal 

handling equipment, including coal 

storage area, belts and conveyers, 

pulverizers, etc.; oil storage facilities). In 

addition, fossil fuel-fired means any 

EGU that fired fossil fuels for more than 

10.0 percent of the average annual heat 

input during the 3 previous calendar 

years after the compliance date for your 

facility in § 63.9984 or for more than 

15.0 percent of the annual heat input 

during any one of those calendar years. 

EGU owners and operators must 

estimate coal, oil, and natural gas usage 

for the first 3 calendar years after the 

applicable compliance date and they are 

solely responsible for assuring 

compliance with this final rule or other 

applicable standard based on their fuel 

usage projections. 

* * * * * 

Integrated gasification combined 

cycle electric utility steam generating 

unit or IGCC means an electric utility 

steam generating unit meeting the 

definition of ‘‘fossil fuel-fired’’ that 

burns a synthetic gas derived from coal 

and/or solid oil-derived fuel for more 

than 10.0 percent of the average annual 

heat input during the 3 previous 

calendar years after the compliance date 

for your facility in § 63.9984 or for more 

than 15.0 percent of the annual heat 

input during any one of those calendar 

years in a combined-cycle gas turbine. 

EGU owners and operators must 

estimate coal, oil, and natural gas usage 

for the first 3 calendar years after the 

applicable compliance date and they are 

solely responsible for assuring 

compliance with this final rule or other 

applicable standard based on their fuel 

usage projections. No solid coal or solid 

oil-derived fuel is directly burned in the 

unit during operation. 

* * * * * 

Limited-use liquid oil-fired 

subcategory means an oil-fired electric 

utility steam generating unit with an 

annual capacity factor when burning oil 

of less than 8 percent of its maximum 

or nameplate heat input, whichever is 

greater, averaged over a 24-month block 

contiguous period commencing April 

16, 2015. 

* * * * * 

Natural gas-fired electric utility steam 

generating unit means an electric utility 

steam generating unit meeting the 

definition of ‘‘fossil fuel-fired’’ that is 

not a coal-fired, oil-fired, or IGCC 

electric utility steam generating unit and 

that burns natural gas for more than 10.0 

percent of the average annual heat input 

during the 3 previous calendar years 

after the compliance date for your 

facility in § 63.9984 or for more than 

15.0 percent of the annual heat input 

during any one of those calendar years. 

EGU owners and operators must 

estimate coal, oil, and natural gas usage 

for the first 3 calendar years after the 

applicable compliance date and they are 

solely responsible for assuring 

compliance with this final rule or other 

applicable standard based on their fuel 

usage projections. 

* * * * * 

Neural network or neural net for 

purposes of this rule means an 

automated boiler optimization system. 

A neural network typically has the 

ability to process data from many inputs 

to develop, remember, update, and 

enable algorithms for efficient boiler 

operation. 

* * * * * 

Oil-fired electric utility steam 

generating unit means an electric utility 

steam generating unit meeting the 

definition of ‘‘fossil fuel-fired’’ that is 

not a coal-fired electric utility steam 

generating unit and that burns oil for 

more than 10.0 percent of the average 

annual heat input during the 3 previous 

calendar years after the compliance date 

for your facility in § 63.9984 or for more 

than 15.0 percent of the annual heat 

input during any one of those calendar 

years.

■ 22. Revise Table 3 to subpart UUUUU 

of part 63 to read as follows: 

TABLE 3 TO SUBPART UUUUU OF PART 63—WORK PRACTICE STANDARDS

[As stated in § 63.9991, you must comply with the following applicable work practice standards:] 

If your EGU is . . . You must meet the following . . . 

1. An existing EGU ...... Conduct a tune-up of the EGU burner and combustion controls at least each 36 calendar months, or each 48 calendar 

months if neural network combustion optimization software is employed, as specified in § 63.10021(e). 

2. A new or reconstructed EGU.Conduct a tune-up of the EGU burner and combustion controls at least each 36 calendar months, or each 48 calendar 

months if neural network combustion optimization software is employed, as specified in § 63.10021(e). 

3. A coal-fired, liquid 

oil-fired (excluding 

limited-use liquid oilfired subcategory 

units), or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU 

during startup.

You have the option of complying using either of the following work practice standards: 

(1) If you choose to comply using paragraph (1) of the definition of ‘‘startup’’ in § 63.10042, you must operate all 

CMS during startup. Startup means either the first-ever firing of fuel in a boiler for the purpose of producing 

electricity, or the firing of fuel in a boiler after a shutdown event for any purpose. Startup ends when any of the 

steam from the boiler is used to generate electricity for sale over the grid or for any other purpose (including on 

site use). For startup of a unit, you must use clean fuels as defined in § 63.10042 for ignition. Once you convert 

to firing coal, residual oil, or solid oil-derived fuel, you must engage all of the applicable control technologies except dry scrubber and SCR. You must start your dry scrubber and SCR systems, if present, appropriately to 

comply with relevant standards applicable during normal operation. You must comply with all applicable emissions limits at all times except for periods that meet the applicable definitions of startup and shutdown in this 

subpart. You must keep records during startup periods. You must provide reports concerning activities and 

startup periods, as specified in § 63.10011(g) and § 63.10021(h) and (i). 

(2) If you choose to comply using paragraph (2) of the definition of ‘‘startup’’ in § 63.10042, you must operate all 

CMS during startup. You must also collect appropriate data, and you must calculate the pollutant emission rate 

for each hour of startup. 

For startup of an EGU, you must use one or a combination of the clean fuels defined in § 63.10042 to the maximum 

extent practicable, taking into account considerations such as boiler or control device integrity, throughout the startup period. You must have sufficient clean fuel capacity to engage and operate your PM control device within one 

hour of adding coal, residual oil, or solid oil-derived fuel to the unit. You must meet the startup period work practice 

requirements as identified in § 63.10020(e). 

Once you start firing coal, residual oil, or solid oil-derived fuel, you must vent emissions to the main stack(s). You must 

comply with the applicable emission limits within 4 hours of start of electricity generation. You must engage and operate your particulate matter control(s) within 1 hour of first firing of coal, residual oil, or solid oil-derived fuel. 

You must start all other applicable control devices as expeditiously as possible, considering safety and manufacturer/

supplier recommendations, but, in any case, when necessary to comply with other standards made applicable to the 

EGU by a permit limit or a rule other than this Subpart that require operation of the control devices.

TABLE 3 TO SUBPART UUUUU OF PART 63—WORK PRACTICE STANDARDS—Continued 

[As stated in § 63.9991, you must comply with the following applicable work practice standards:] 

If your EGU is . . . You must meet the following . . . 

Relative to the syngas not fired in the combustion turbine of an IGCC EGU during startup, you must either: (1) Flare 

the syngas, or (2) route the syngas to duct burners, which may need to be installed, and route the flue gas from the 

duct burners to the heat recovery steam generator. 

You must collect monitoring data during startup periods, as specified in § 63.10020(a) and (e). You must keep records 

during startup periods, as provided in §§ 63.10032 and 63.10021(h). Any fraction of an hour in which startup occurs 

constitutes a full hour of startup. You must provide reports concerning activities and startup periods, as specified in 

§§ 63.10011(g), 63.10021(i), and 63.10031. 

4. A coal-fired, liquid 

oil-fired (excluding 

limited-use liquid oilfired subcategory 

units), or solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGU 

during shutdown.

You must operate all CMS during shutdown. You must also collect appropriate data, and you must calculate the pollutant emission rate for each hour of shutdown. 

While firing coal, residual oil, or solid oil-derived fuel during shutdown, you must vent emissions to the main stack(s) 

and operate all applicable control devices and continue to operate those control devices after the cessation of coal, 

residual oil, or solid oil-derived fuel being fed into the EGU and for as long as possible thereafter considering operational and safety concerns. In any case, you must operate your controls when necessary to comply with other 

standards made applicable to the EGU by a permit limit or a rule other than this Subpart and that require operation 

of the control devices. 

If, in addition to the fuel used prior to initiation of shutdown, another fuel must be used to support the shutdown process, that additional fuel must be one or a combination of the clean fuels defined in § 63.10042 and must be used to 

the maximum extent practicable. 

Relative to the syngas not fired in the combustion turbine of an IGCC EGU during shutdown, you must either: (1) Flare 

the syngas, or (2) route the syngas to duct burners, which may need to be installed, and route the flue gas from the 

duct burners to the heat recovery steam generator. 

You must comply with all applicable emission limits at all times except during startup periods and shutdown periods at 

which time you must meet this work practice. You must collect monitoring data during shutdown periods, as specified in § 63.10020(a). You must keep records during shutdown periods, as provided in §§ 63.10032 and 63.10021(h). 

Any fraction of an hour in which shutdown occurs constitutes a full hour of shutdown. You must provide reports concerning activities and shutdown periods, as specified in §§ 63.10011(g), 63.10021(i), and 63.10031.

3.2.1.2.1 NIST Traceability. Only NISTcertified or NIST-traceable calibration gas 

standards and reagents (as defined in 

paragraphs 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 of this appendix), 

and including, but not limited to, Hg gas 

generators and Hg gas cylinders, shall be 

used for the tests and procedures required 

under this subpart. Calibration gases with 

known concentrations of Hg0 and HgCl2 are 

required. Special reagents and equipment 

may be needed to prepare the Hg0 and HgCl2

gas standards (e.g., NIST-traceable solutions 

of HgCl2 and gas generators equipped with 

mass flow controllers). 

* * * * * 

4. Certification and Recertification 

Requirements 

* * * * * 

4.1.1.1 7-Day Calibration Error Test. 

Perform the 7-day calibration error test on 7 

consecutive source operating days, using a 

zero-level gas and either a high-level or a 

mid-level calibration gas standard (as defined 

in sections 3.1.8, 3.1.10, and 3.1.11 of this 

appendix). Use a NIST-traceable elemental 

Hg gas standard (as defined in section 3.1.4 

of this appendix) for the test. If moisture and/ 

or chlorine is added to the calibration gas, 

the dilution effect of the moisture and/or 

chlorine addition on the calibration gas 

concentration must be accounted for in an 

appropriate manner. Operate the Hg CEMS in 

its normal sampling mode during the test. 

The calibrations should be approximately 24 

hours apart, unless the 7-day test is 

performed over non-consecutive calendar 

days. On each day of the test, inject the zerolevel and upscale gases in sequence and 

record the analyzer responses. Pass the 

calibration gas through all filters, scrubbers, 

conditioners, and other monitor components 

used during normal sampling, and through as 

much of the sampling probe as is practical. 

Do not make any manual adjustments to the 

monitor (i.e., resetting the calibration) until 

after taking measurements at both the zero 

and upscale concentration levels. If 

automatic adjustments are made following 

both injections, conduct the calibration error 

test such that the magnitude of the 

adjustments can be determined, and use only 

the unadjusted analyzer responses in the 

calculations. Calculate the calibration error 

(CE) on each day of the test, as described in 

Table A–1 of this appendix. The CE on each 

day of the test must either meet the main 

performance specification or the alternative 

specification in Table A–1 of this appendix. 

* * * * * 

4.1.1.3 Three-Level System Integrity 

Check. Perform the 3-level system integrity 

check using low, mid, and high-level 

calibration gas concentrations generated by a 

NIST-traceable source of oxidized Hg. Follow 

the same basic procedure as for the linearity 

check. If moisture and/or chlorine is added 

to the calibration gas, the dilution effect of 

the moisture and/or chlorine addition on the 

calibration gas concentration must be 

accounted for in an appropriate manner. 

Calculate the system integrity error (SIE), as 

described in Table A–1 of this appendix. The 

SIE must either meet the main performance 

specification or the alternative specification 

in Table A–1 of this appendix. 

* * * * * 

4.1.1.5 Relative Accuracy Test Audit 

(RATA). Perform the RATA of the Hg CEMS 

at normal load. Acceptable Hg reference 

methods for the RATA include ASTM 

D6784–02 (Reapproved 2008), ‘‘Standard 

Test Method for Elemental, Oxidized, 

Particle-Bound and Total Mercury in Flue 

Gas Generated from Coal-Fired Stationary 

Sources (Ontario Hydro Method)’’ 

(incorporated by reference, see § 63.14) and 

Methods 29, 30A, and 30B in appendix A– 

8 to part 60 of this chapter. When Method 29 

or ASTM D6784–02 is used, paired sampling 

trains are required and the filterable portion 

of the sample need not be included when 

making comparisons to the Hg CEMS results 

for purposes of a RATA. To validate a 

Method 29 or ASTM D6784–02 test run, 

calculate the relative deviation (RD) using 

Equation A–1 of this section, and assess the 

results as follows to validate the run. The RD 

must not exceed 10 percent, when the 

average Hg concentration is greater than 1.0 

mg/dscm. If the RD specification is met, the 

results of the two samples shall be averaged 

arithmetically. 

Where: 

RD = Relative Deviation between the Hg 

concentrations of samples ‘‘a’’ and ‘‘b’’ 

(percent), 

Ca = Hg concentration of Hg sample ‘‘a’’ (mg/ 

dscm), and 

Cb = Hg concentration of Hg sample ‘‘b’’ (mg/ 

dscm). 

* * * * * 

4.1.1.5.2 Calculation of RATA Results. 

Calculate the relative accuracy (RA) of the 

monitoring system, on a mg/scm basis, as 

described in section 12 of Performance 

Specification (PS) 2 in Appendix B to part 60 

of this chapter (see Equations 2–3 through 2– 

6 of PS2) including the option to substitute 

the emission limit value (in this case the 

equivalent concentration) in the denominator 

of Equation 2–6 in place of the average RM 

value when the average emissions for the test 

are less than 50 percent of the applicable 

emissions limit. For purposes of calculating 

the relative accuracy, ensure that the 

reference method and monitoring system 

data are on a consistent basis, either wet or 

dry. The CEMS must either meet the main 

performance specification or the alternative 

specification in Table A–1 of this appendix.

Appendix B to Subpart UUUUU of Part 

63—HCL and HF Monitoring Provisions 

* * * * * 

2. Monitoring of HCL and/or HF Emissions 

* * * * * 

2.1 Monitoring System Installation 

Requirements. Install HCl and/or HF CEMS 

and any additional monitoring systems 

needed to convert pollutant concentrations to 

units of the applicable emissions limit in 

accordance with Performance Specification 

15 (PS 15) of appendix B to part 60 of this 

chapter for extractive Fourier Transform 

Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) continuous 

emissions monitoring systems and 

§ 63.10010(a) or Performance Specification 

18 (PS 18) of appendix B to part 60 of this 

chapter for HCl CEMS and § 63.10010(a). 

* * * * * 

2.3 FTIR Monitoring System Equipment, 

Supplies, Definitions, and General 

Operation. The following provisions apply: 

2.3.1 PS 15, Sections 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 

and 10.0 of appendix B to part 60 of this 

chapter, or 

2.3.2 PS 18, Sections 3.0, 6.0, and 11.0 of 

appendix B to part 60 of this chapter. 

3. Initial Certification Procedures 

* * * * * 

3.1 If you choose to follow Performance 

Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B to part 

60 of this chapter, then your HCl and/or HF 

CEMS must be certified according to PS 15 

using the procedures for gas auditing and 

comparison to a reference method (RM) as 

specified in sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 below. 

* * * * * 

3.2 If you choose to follow Performance 

Specification 18 (PS 18) of appendix B to part 

60 of this chapter, then your HCl and/or HF 

CEMS must be certified according to PS 18, 

sections 7.0, 8.0, 11.0, 12.0, and 13.0. 

3.3 Any additional stack gas flow rate, 

diluent gas, and moisture monitoring 

system(s) needed to express pollutant 

concentrations in units of the applicable 

emissions limit must be certified according to 

part 75 of this chapter. 

* * * * * 

5. On-Going Quality Assurance 

Requirements 

On-going QA test requirements for HCl and 

HF CEMS must be implemented as follows: 

5.1 If you choose to follow Performance 

Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B to part 

60 of this chapter, then the quality assurance/ 

quality control procedures of PS 15 shall 

apply as set forth in sections 5.1.1 through 

5.1.3 and 5.3.2 of this appendix. 

* * * * * 

5.2 If you choose to follow Performance 

Specification PS 18 of appendix B to part 60 

of this chapter, then the quality assurance/

quality control procedures of Procedure 6 of 

40 CFR part 60, appendix F shall apply. 

5.3 Stack gas flow rate, diluent gas, and 

moisture monitoring systems must meet the 

applicable on-going QA test requirements of 

part 75 of this chapter. 

* * * * * 

5.4 Data Validation. 

5.4.1 Out-of-Control Periods. An HCl or 

HF CEMS that is used to provide data under 

this appendix is considered to be out-ofcontrol, and data from the CEMS may not be 

reported as quality-assured, when any 

acceptance criteria for a required QA test is 

not met. The HCl or HF CEMS is also 

considered to be out-of-control when a 

required QA test is not performed on 

schedule or within an allotted grace period. 

To end an out-of-control period, the QA test 

that was either failed or not done on time 

must be performed and passed. Out-ofcontrol periods are counted as hours of 

monitoring system downtime. 

5.4.2 Grace Periods. For the purposes of 

this appendix, a ‘‘grace period’’ is defined as 

a specified number of unit or stack operating 

hours after the deadline for a required 

quality-assurance test of a continuous 

monitor has passed, in which the test may be 

performed and passed without loss of data. 

5.4.2.1 For the flow rate, diluent gas, and 

moisture monitoring systems described in 

section 5.3 of this appendix, a 168 unit or 

stack operating hour grace period is available 

for quarterly linearity checks, and a 720 unit 

or stack operating hour grace period is 

available for RATAs, as provided, 

respectively, in sections 2.2.4 and 2.3.3 of 

appendix B to part 75 of this chapter. 

5.4.2.2 For the purposes of this appendix, 

if the deadline for a required gas audit/data 

accuracy assessment or RATA of an HCl or 

HF CEMS cannot be met due to 

circumstances beyond the control of the 

owner or operator: 

5.4.2.2.1 A 168 unit or stack operating 

hour grace period is available in which to 

perform the gas audit/data accuracy 

assessment; or 

5.4.2.2.2 A 720 unit or stack operating 

hour grace period is available in which to 

perform the RATA. 

5.4.2.3 If a required QA test is performed 

during a grace period, the deadline for the 

next test shall be determined as follows: 

5.4.2.3.1 For a gas audit or RATA of the 

monitoring systems required under in section 

5.3 of this appendix, determine the deadline 

for the next gas audit or RATA (as applicable) 

in accordance with section 2.2.4(b) or 

2.3.3(d) of appendix B to part 75 of this 

chapter; treat a gas audit in the same manner 

as a linearity check. 

5.4.2.3.2 For the gas audit/data accuracy 

assessment of an HCl or HF CEMS, the grace 

period test only satisfies the audit 

requirement for the calendar quarter in 

which the test was originally due. If the 

calendar quarter in which the grace period 

audit is performed is a QA operating quarter, 

an additional gas audit/data accuracy 

assessment is required for that quarter. 

5.4.2.3.3 For the RATA of an HCl or HF 

CEMS, the next RATA is due within three 

QA operating quarters after the calendar 

quarter in which the grace period test is 

performed. 

5.4.3 Conditional Data Validation. For 

recertification and diagnostic testing of the 

monitoring systems that are used to provide 

data under this appendix, and for the 

required QA tests when non-redundant 

backup monitoring systems or temporary 

like-kind replacement analyzers are brought 

into service, the conditional data validation 

provisions in § 75.20(b)(3)(ii) through (ix) of 

this chapter may be used to avoid or 

minimize data loss. The allotted window of 

time to complete calibration tests and RATAs 

shall be as specified in § 75.20(b)(3)(iv) of 

this chapter; the allotted window of time to 

complete a gas audit or data accuracy 

assessment shall be the same as for a linearity 

check (i.e., 168 unit or stack operating hours).

8. QA/QC Program Requirements 

The owner or operator shall develop and 

implement a quality assurance/quality 

control (QA/QC) program for the HCl and/or 

HF CEMS that are used to provide data under 

this subpart. At a minimum, the program 

shall include a written plan that describes in 

detail (or that refers to separate documents 

containing) complete, step-by-step 

procedures and operations for the most 

important QA/QC activities. Electronic 

storage of the QA/QC plan is permissible, 

provided that the information can be made 

available in hard copy to auditors and 

inspectors. The QA/QC program 

requirements for the other monitoring 

systems described in paragraph 5.3 of this 

appendix are specified in section 1 of 

appendix B to part 75 of this chapter.

paragraph 10.1.8.1.2.1 of this appendix and 

for quarterly data accuracy assessments 

under PS 18 of appendix B to part 60 of this 

chapter follow paragraph 10.1.8.1.2.2 of this 

appendix. 

10.1.8.1.2.1 Record the date and time of 

each spiked and unspiked sample, the audit 

gas reference values and uncertainties. Keep 

records of all calculations and data analyses 

required under sections 9.1 and 12.1 of P S 

15 of appendix B to part 60 of this chapter, 

and the results of those calculations and 

analyses.
