				3745-110-03
				of the Administrative Code shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable
				emissions limit(s) limitations in accordance with one of the following:
(A) Installing a permanent continuous
			 emissions monitoring system for NOx and, if neccessary, a diluent (carbon
			 dioxide or oxygen) that is employed to ensure ongoing compliance with an
			 applicable emissions limitation. The permanent continuous emissions monitoring
			 system shall meet the requirements of performance specification 2 and
			 performance specification 3, 40 CFR Part 60 , Appendix B and quality assurance
			 procedures contained in 40 CFR Part 60 , Appendix F or 40 CFR Part 75
			 .
(B) Perform emission tests in
			 accordance with USEPA method 7, 7a, 7c, 7d, or 7e, and any additional approved
			 USEPA methods as applicable. The owner or operator shall obtain any additional
			 test data (such as flow rates, oxygen concentrations, moisture contents, etc.),
			 continuous diluent monitoring data (carbon dioxide or oxygen), or source fuel
			 usage or horsepower data, concurrent with the compliance demonstration in order
			 to convert the emission test results or monitoring data to the units of the
			 applicable emissions limitation. Compliance demonstrations shall be performed
			 that are representative of the normal operating modes, including fuel types or
			 fuel blends employed and shall exclude periods of startup, shutdown,
			 malfunction, and low load operating conditions as follows:
