			  compliance with the opacity standard as provided under s.
			  NR
			  440.11(5) (f), the owner or operator
			  shall conduct a performance evaluation of the COMS as specified in Performance

			  NR
			  440.17, before the performance test required under s.
			  NR 440.08 is
			  conducted. Otherwise, the owner or operator of an affected facility shall
			  conduct a performance evaluation of the COMS or continuous emission monitoring
			  system (CEMS) during any performance test required under s. NR. 440.08 or
			  within 30 days thereafter in accordance with the applicable performance
			  specification in Appendix B, 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s.
			  NR
			  440.17. The owner or operator of an affected facility

			  NR
			  440.11(5) (f) shall furnish the
			  department 2 or, upon request, more copies of a written report of the results

			  conducted.
(b) Except as provided
			  in par. (a), the owner or operator of an affected facility shall furnish the
			  department within 60 days of completion 2 or, upon request, more copies of a
