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”?
