Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Quality assurance requirements.
Whenever a monitoring system
						  fails to meet the quality assurance and quality control requirements or data
						  validation requirements of 40 CFR Part 75 (relating to continuous emission
						  monitoring), data shall be substituted using the applicable procedures in 40
						  CFR Part 75 , Subpart D (relating to missing data substitution procedures) or
						  Appendix D (relating to optional SO2 emissions data
						  protocol for gas-fired and oil-fired units).
(b)
Audit decertification.
Whenever both an audit of a monitoring system and a review of the initial
						  certification or recertification application reveal that any monitoring system
						  should not have been certified or recertified because it did not meet a
						  particular performance specification or other requirement under §
													145.372 (relating to initial
						  certification and recertification procedures) or the applicable provisions of
						  40 CFR Part 75 , both at the time of the initial certification or
						  recertification application submission and at the time of the audit, the
						  Department will issue a notice of disapproval of the certification status of
						  the monitoring system. For the purposes of this paragraph, an audit shall be
						  either a field audit or an audit of any information submitted to the Department
						  or the Administrator. By issuing the notice of disapproval, the Department
						  revokes prospectively the certification status of the monitoring system. The
						  data measured and recorded by the monitoring system will not be considered
						  valid quality-assured data from the date of issuance of the notification of the
						  revoked certification status until the date and time that the owner or operator
						  completes subsequently approved initial certification or recertification tests
						  for the monitoring system. The owner or operator shall follow the initial
						  certification or recertification procedures in §
													145.372 for each disapproved
						  monitoring system.
