(a)
Quality assurance requirements
. Whenever a monitoring system
						  fails to meet the quality assurance or data validation requirements of 40 CFR
						  Part 75 (relating to quality assurance and quality control procedures), data
						  shall be substituted using the applicable procedures in 40 CFR Part 75 Subpart
						  D, Appendix D or Appendix E (relating to missing data substitution procedures;
						  optional SO2 emissions data protocol for gas-fired and
						  oil-fired units; and optional NOx emissions estimation
						  protocal for gas-fired peaking units and oil-fired peaking 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 system or
						  component should not have been certified or recertified because it did not meet
						  a particular performance specification or other requirement under §
													145.71 (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 system or component. For the purposes of this subsection, 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 system or component. The
						  data measured and recorded by the system or component 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.
						  The owner or operator shall follow the initial certification or recertification
						  procedures in §
													145.71 for each disapproved
						  system.
