Yes. This is the specific language:

(f) If you own or operate an existing emergency stationary RICE with a site

rating of

less than or equal to 500 brake HP located at a major source of HAP emissions

or an

existing emergency stationary RICE located at an area source of HAP

emissions, you must

install a non-resettable hour meter if one is not already installed.

I don't see a problem with clarifying the preamble. The requirement is

already in the existing rule, see 63.6625(f).

Thanks - many of us misinterpreted the proposal too - as you can see. I think

we'll suggest that the preamble be more specific on this point.

I don't find the requirement to install an hour meter anywhere - is that

because it's in other existing RICE language governing emergency engines?

For non-emergency engines, hour meters are not required. That language in the

preamble is just an example of one way that they might keep track of the hours

of operation for recording the maintenance, but they could use other ways.

There is no requirement in the rule for non-emergency engines to have an hour

meter.

|Hour Meters - Doesn't this require hour meters on SI nonemergency engines?

Preamble Excerpt

|

>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------|

“Owners and operators of existing stationary SI RICE located at major sources

that are subject to work practices and existing stationary SI RICE located at

area sources that are subject to management practices are required to keep

records that show that the work or management practices that are required are

being met. These records must include, at a minimum: oil and filter change

dates and corresponding hour on the hour meter; inspection and replacement

dates for spark plugs, hoses, and belts; and records of other emission-related

repairs and maintenance performed.”

But hour meters are not required “as a minimum”?
