Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Any
				owner or operator of a source (emission reduction source) with one or more
				emission units meeting the requirements of Section
				217.805
				of this Subpart and seeking to make quantifiable, verifiable and federally
				enforceable voluntary reductions of NOx emissions during
				the control period from one or more emission units (emission reduction units)
				must comply with the following requirements:
1) Submit a NOx
				emission reduction proposal that meets the requirements of Section
				217.835
				of this Subpart;
2) Request an
				emission cap on NOx emissions from all
				NOx emission units at the emission reduction source that
				are not otherwise subject to Subparts U or W of this Part, and that are the
				same type of emission unit as the emission reduction unit (e.g., if the
				emission reduction unit is a boiler, combined cycle system or turbine, then the
				emission cap must include all boilers, combined cycle systems or turbines that
				are not otherwise subject to Subparts U or W of this Part, or if the emission
				unit is a cement kiln, then the emission cap must include all cement kilns),
				provided, however, the owner or operator of the source may submit a
				demonstration in accordance with Section
				217.835
				of this Subpart that any like-kind emission unit or units should not be
				included in the NOx emission cap;
3) Demonstrate how the
				NOx emission cap required by subsection (a)(2) of this
				Section is to be determined, in accordance with Sections
				217.820
				and
				217.845
				of this Subpart, which cap reflects the NOx emission
				reduction specified in the proposal;
4) Permit requirements:
A) Obtain a permit, or an amendment to an
				existing permit, for the source, with federally enforceable conditions
				containing the commitments in the NOx emission reduction
				proposal and the emissions cap by the later of May 1, 2003, or the date on
				which the reduction in NOx emissions will commence and
				operate the source in compliance with such permit; or
B) For each emission unit that will be
				generating voluntary NOx emissions by ceasing operation,
				withdrawing the applicable permit, or requesting a revision to the permit to
				reflect the shut down of the emission reduction unit, by the later of May 1,
				2003, or the date specified in the NOx reduction
				proposal.
5) Submit an
				emissions baseline determination for each unit subject to the
				NOx emission cap in accordance with the requirements of
				Section
				217.820
				of this Subpart.
6) Monitoring
				requirements:
A) To the extent applicable,
				each emission reduction unit at the source shall comply with the monitoring
				requirements of Section
				217.850 of
				this Subpart.
B) The emissions
				measurements recorded and reported in accordance with Sections
				217.850 and
				217.855 of this Subpart
				shall be used to determine compliance by the emission reduction unit with the
				emissions limitation set forth in the NOx emission
				reduction proposal and the federally enforceable permit conditions required
				pursuant to subsection (a)(4) of this Section.
C) The emissions measurements recorded and
				reported in accordance with Sections
				217.850 and
				217.855 of this Subpart
				shall be used to determine compliance by the emission reduction source with the
				emissions cap set forth in the NOx emission reduction
				proposal and the federally enforceable permit condition required pursuant to
				subsection (a)(4) of this Section.
