			 unit" and "continuous emission monitoring system" (or "CEMS") in 40 CFR Part 75
			 shall be replaced by the terms "NOx budget unit" and "continuous emission
			 monitoring system" (or "CEMS"), respectively, as defined in paragraph (B) of

			 commercial operation, provided that this date is during a control period; (If
			 this date does not occur during a control period, the applicable deadline is
			 May first immediately following this date.)
(d) For the owner or operator of a NOx budget
			 unit under paragraph (C)(1)(b) of rule

				75.70(g), from the date and
				hour that the unit starts operating until the date and hour on which the
				continuous emission monitoring system, excepted monitoring system under 40 CFR

			 without having obtained prior written approval in accordance with paragraph (F)
			 or (H) of this rule.
(b) No owner or operator of a NOx budget unit
			 shall operate the unit so as to discharge, or allow to be discharged, NOx
			 emissions to the atmosphere without accounting for all such emissions in
			 accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs
			 (A) to (G) of this rule and 40 CFR Part 75 except as provided for in
			 40
			 CFR 75.74.
(c) No owner or operator of a NOx budget unit
			 shall disrupt the continuous emission monitoring system, any portion thereof,
			 or any other approved emission monitoring method, and thereby avoid monitoring
			 and recording NOx mass emissions discharged into the atmosphere, except for
			 periods of recertification or periods when calibration, quality assurance
			 testing, or maintenance is performed in accordance with the applicable
			 provisions of paragraphs (A) to (G) of this rule
			 and 40 CFR Part 75 except as provided for in
			 40
			 CFR 75.74.
(d) No owner or operator of a NOx budget unit
			 shall retire or permanently discontinue use of the continuous emission
			 monitoring system, any component thereof, or any other approved emission
			 monitoring system, except under any one of the following circumstances:

			 covered by an exemption under paragraph (C)(2) of rule
			 3745-14-01
			 of the Administrative Code that is in effect.

			 emissions from the unit with another certified monitoring system approved by
			 the director, in accordance with the applicable provisions of
			 paragraphs (A) to (G) of this rule and 40 CFR
			 Part 75, for use at that unit that provides emission data for the same
			 pollutant or parameter as the retired or discontinued monitoring
			 system.
(iii) The designated
			 representative submits notification of the date of certification testing of a
			 replacement monitoring system for the retired or discontinued monitoring system
			 in accordance with paragraph (B)(2)(b) of this rule.
(iv)
											When operating
