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.

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?

Preamble ExcerptFor 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.

“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”?
