Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 1, July 1, 2024
RELATES TO: KRS Chapter 224, 40 C.F.R. Part 60 , Subpart D, Da,
				Db, Dc, Part 63, Sub-parts DDDDD, UUUUU, JJJJJJ
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY:
				KRS
				224.10-100(5) requires the
				cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations for the prevention, abatement,
				and control of air pollution. This administrative regulation establishes
				requirements for the control of emissions from existing indirect heat
				exchangers.
Section 1. Definitions. As
			 used in this administrative regulation, all terms not defined in this section
			 shall have the meaning given them in
			 401 KAR
			 50:010 and
			 401 KAR
			 50:025.
(1) "Affected
			 facility" means an indirect heat exchanger having a heat input capacity of more
			 than one (1) MMBTU/hr.
(2)
			 "Classification date" means:
(a) August 17,
			 1971, for affected facilities with a capacity of more than 250 MMBTU/hr heat
			 input; or
(b) April 9, 1972, for
			 affected facilities with a capacity of 250 MMBTU/hr heat input or
			 less.
(3) "Fuel" means
			 any material combusted for the purpose of creating useful heat.
(4) "GCV" means gross calorific
			 value.
(5) "Indirect heat
			 exchanger" means a piece of equipment, apparatus, or contrivance used for the
			 combustion of fuel in which the energy produced is transferred to its point of
			 usage through a medium that does not come in contact with or add to the
			 products of combustion.
(6)
			 "Shutdown period" means:
(a) For a source
			 subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 63 , Subpart DDDDD, UUUUU, or JJJJJJ, the period
			 defined as "shutdown" in:
1.
											40 C.F.R.
			 63.7575;
2.
											40 C.F.R.
			 63.10042; or
3.
											40 C.F.R.

(b) For a source not subject to 40 C.F.R.
			 Part 63 , Subpart DDDDD, UUUUU, or JJJJJJ, the period:
1. Beginning when whichever occurs first:
a. The affected facility no longer supplies
			 useful thermal energy for heating, cooling, process purposes, or generation of
			 electricity; or
b. Fuel is not being
			 combusted in the affected facility; and
2. Ending when:
a. The affected facility no longer supplies
			 useful thermal energy for heating, cooling, process purposes, or generation of
			 electricity; and
b. Fuel is not
			 being combusted in the affected facility.
(7) "Startup period" means:
(a) For a source subject to 40 C.F.R. Part
			 63, Subpart DDDDD, UUUUU, or JJJJJJ, the period defined as "startup" in:
1.
											40 C.F.R.
			 63.7575;
2.
											40 C.F.R.
			 63.10042; or

			 63.11237; or
(b) For a source not subject to 40 C.F.R.
			 Part 63 , Subpart DDDDD, UUUUU, or JJJJJJ, the period:
1. Beginning with either:
a. The combustion of any fuel in an affected
			 facility for the purpose of supplying useful thermal energy for heating,
			 cooling, process purposes, or generation of electricity; or
b. The combustion of fuel in an affected
			 facility for any purpose after a shutdown event; and
2. Ending after the longest
			 manufacturer-recommended time required to engage all control devices utilized
			 by the affected facility applicable to the pollutant, not to exceed (4) four
			 hours after any of the useful thermal energy from the affected facility is
			 supplied for any purpose.
(8) "Useful thermal energy" means energy that
			 meets the minimum operating temperature, flow, or pressure required by any
			 energy use system that uses energy provided by the affected facility.
