This subpart establishes emission standards and compliance schedules for the control of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a steam generating unit, IGCC, or a stationary combustion turbine that commences construction after January 8, 2014 or commences modification or reconstruction after June 18, 2014. An affected steam generating unit, IGCC, or stationary combustion turbine shall, for the purposes of this subpart, be referred to as an affected EGU.
(d) Stationary combustion turbines subject to a heat input-based standard in table 2 of this subpart that are only permitted to burn one or more uniform fuels, as described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section, are only subject to the monitoring requirements in paragraph (d)(1). All other stationary combustion turbines subject to a heat input based standard in table 2 are subject to the requirements in paragraph (d)(2) of this section.
(1) Stationary combustion turbines that are only permitted to burn fuels with a consistent chemical composition (i.e., uniform fuels) that result in a consistent emission rate of 160 lb CO2/MMBtu or less are not subject to any monitoring or reporting requirements under this subpart. These fuels include, but are not limited to, natural gas, methane, butane, butylene, ethane, ethylene, propane, naphtha, propylene, jet fuel kerosene, No. 1 fuel oil, No. 2 fuel oil, and biodiesel. Stationary combustion turbines qualifying under this paragraph are only required to maintain purchase records for permitted fuels.
(2) Stationary combustion turbines permitted to burn fuels that do not have a consistent chemical composition or that do not have an emission rate of 160 lb CO2/MMBtu or less (e.g., non-uniform fuels such as residual oil and non-jet fuel kerosene) must follow the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements necessary to complete the heat input-based calculations under this subpart.
Combustion turbines qualifying under §60.5520(d)(1) are not subject to any requirements in this section other than the requirement to maintain fuel purchase records for permitted fuel(s). For all other affected sources, compliance with the applicable CO2 emission standard of this subpart shall be determined on a 12-operating-month rolling average basis. See table 1 or 2 of this subpart for the applicable CO2 emission standards.
(2) Consistent with §60.5520(d)(2), if your affected stationary combustion turbine is subject to an input-based CO2 emissions standard, you must determine the total heat input in million Btus (MMBtu) from natural gas (HTIPng) and the total heat input from all other fuels combined (HTIPo) using one of the methods under §60.5535(d)(2). You must then use the following equation to determine the applicable emissions standard during the compliance period:
(1) For an affected EGU that commences commercial operation (as defined in §72.2 of this chapter) on or after October 23, 2015, the first month of the initial compliance period shall be the first operating month (as defined in §60.5580) after the calendar month in which emissions reporting is required to begin under:
(i) Section 63.5555(c)(3)(i), for units subject to the Acid Rain Program; or
(ii) Section 63.5555(c)(3)(ii)(A), for units that are not in the Acid Rain Program.
(2) For an affected EGU that has commenced COMMERCIAL operation (as defined in §72.2 of this chapter) prior to October 23, 2015:
(i) If the date on which emissions reporting is required to begin under §75.64(a) of this chapter has passed prior to October 23, 2015, emissions reporting shall begin according to §63.5555(c)(3)(i) (for Acid Rain program units), or according to §63.5555(c)(3)(ii)(B) (for units that are not subject to the Acid Rain Program). The first month of the initial compliance period shall be the first operating month (as defined in §60.5580) after the calendar month in which the rule becomes effective; or
(ii) If the date on which emissions reporting is required to begin under §75.64(a) of this chapter occurs on or after October 23, 2015, then the first month of the initial compliance period shall be the first operating month (as defined in §60.5580) after the calendar month in which emissions reporting is required to begin under §63.5555(c)(3)(ii)(A).
(3) For a modified or reconstructed EGU that becomes subject to this subpart, the first month of the initial compliance period shall be the first operating month (as defined in §60.5580) after the calendar month in which emissions reporting is required to begin under §63.5555(c)(3)(iii).
(a) You must prepare and submit the notifications specified in §§60.7(a)(1) and (3) and 60.19, as applicable to your affected EGU(s) (see table 3 of this subpart).
(b) You must prepare and submit notifications specified in §75.61 of this chapter, as applicable, to your affected EGUs.
(1) For affected EGUs that are required by §60.5525 to conduct initial and on-going compliance determinations on a 12-operating-month rolling average basis, you must submit electronic quarterly reports as follows. After you have accumulated the first 12-operating months for the affected EGU, you must submit a report for the calendar quarter that includes the twelfth operating month no later than 30 days after the end of that quarter. Thereafter, you must submit a report for each subsequent calendar quarter, no later than 30 days after the end of the quarter.
(i) Each rolling average CO2 mass emissions rate for which the last (twelfth) operating month in a 12-operating-month compliance period falls within the calendar quarter. You must calculate each average CO2 mass emissions rate for the compliance period according to the procedures in §60.5540. You must report the dates (month and year) of the first and twelfth operating months in each compliance period for which you performed a CO2 mass emissions rate calculation. If there are no compliance periods that end in the quarter, you must include a statement to that effect;
(iv) The percentage of valid operating hours in each 12-operating-month compliance period described in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section (i.e., the total number of valid operating hours (as defined in §60.5540(a)(1)) in that period divided by the total number of operating hours in that period, multiplied by 100 percent);
(v) Consistent with §60.5520, the CO2 emissions standard (as identified in table 1 or 2 of this part) with which your affected EGU must comply; and
(vi) Consistent with §60.5520, an indication whether or not the hourly gross or net energy output (Pgross/net) values used in the compliance determinations are based solely upon gross electrical load.
(i) Consistent with §60.5520, gross energy output or net energy output sold to an electric grid, as applicable to the units of your emission standard, over the four quarters of the calendar year; and
(c)(1) For affected EGUs under this subpart that are also subject to the Acid Rain Program, you must meet all applicable reporting requirements and submit reports as required under subpart G of part 75 of this chapter.
(3)(i) For all newly-constructed affected EGUs under this subpart that are also subject to the Acid Rain Program, you must begin submitting the quarterly electronic emissions reports described in paragraph (c)(1) of this section in accordance with §75.64(a) of this chapter, i.e., beginning with data recorded on and after the earlier of:
(A) The date of provisional certification, as defined in §75.20(a)(3) of this chapter; or
(B) 180 days after the date on which the EGU commences commercial operation (as defined in §72.2 of this chapter).
(A) The date on which reporting is required to begin under §75.64(a) of this chapter, if that date occurs on or after October 23, 2015; or
(B) October 23, 2015, if the date on which reporting would ordinarily be required to begin under §75.64(a) of this chapter has passed prior to October 23, 2015.
(4) If any required monitoring system has not been provisionally certified by the applicable date on which emissions data reporting is required to begin under paragraph (c)(3) of this section, the maximum (or in some cases, minimum) potential value for the parameter measured by the monitoring system shall be reported until the required certification testing is successfully completed, in accordance with §75.4(j) of this chapter, §75.37(b) of this chapter, or section 2.4 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter (as applicable). Operating hours in which CO2 mass emission rates are calculated using maximum potential values are not “valid operating hours” (as defined in §60.5540(a)(1)), and shall not be used in the compliance determinations under §60.5540.
(1) The person appointed as the Designated Representative (DR) under §72.20 of this chapter; or
(2) The person appointed as the Alternate Designated Representative (ADR) under §72.22 of this chapter; or
(3) A person (or persons) authorized by the DR or ADR under §72.26 of this chapter to make the required submissions.
(g) Any person may request the Administrator to issue a waiver of the requirement that captured CO2 from an affected EGU be transferred to a facility reporting under 40 CFR part 98, subpart RR. To receive a waiver, the applicant must demonstrate to the Administrator that its technology will store captured CO2 as effectively as geologic sequestration, and that the proposed technology will not cause or contribute to an unreasonable risk to public health, welfare, or safety. In making this determination, the Administrator shall consider (among other factors) operating history of the technology, whether the technology will increase emissions or other releases of any pollutant other than CO2, and permanence of the CO2 storage. The Administrator may test the system itself, or require the applicant to perform any tests considered by the Administrator to be necessary to show the technology's effectiveness, safety, and ability to store captured CO2 without release. The Administrator may grant conditional approval of a technology, with the approval conditioned on monitoring and reporting of operations. The Administrator may also withdraw approval of the waiver on evidence of releases of CO2 or other pollutants. The Administrator will provide notice to the public of any application under this provision and provide public notice of any proposed action on a petition before the Administrator takes final action.
(a) You must maintain records of the information you used to demonstrate compliance with this subpart as specified in §60.7(b) and (f).
(b)(1) For affected EGUs subject to the Acid Rain Program, you must follow the applicable recordkeeping requirements and maintain records as required under subpart F of part 75 of this chapter.
(2) For affected EGUs that are not subject to the Acid Rain Program, you must also follow the recordkeeping requirements and maintain records as required under subpart F of part 75 of this chapter, to the extent that those records provide applicable data for the compliance determinations required under this subpart. Regardless of the prior sentence, at a minimum, the following records must be kept, as applicable to the types of continuous monitoring systems used to demonstrate compliance under this subpart:
(i) Monitoring plan records under §75.53(g) and (h) of this chapter;
(ii) Operating parameter records under §75.57(b)(1) through (4) of this chapter;
