			  methods listed in this section and in ss.
			  NR
			  439.07 to
			  439.095 to determine compliance with
			  emission limitations, unless an alternative or equivalent method is approved,

			  alternative, equivalent or other specific method approved or required by the
			  department for an ozone precursor shall be submitted to, and will not become
			  effective for federal purposes until approved by, the administrator or designee
			  as a source-specific revision to the department's state implementation plan for
			  ozone. The test methods shall include quality control and quality assurance
			  procedures and the data reporting format which are specified and approved by
			  the department for collection, analysis, processing and reporting of compliance
			  monitoring data. Notwithstanding the compliance determination methods which the
			  owner or operator of a source is authorized to use under this chapter, the
			  department may use any relevant information or appropriate method to determine
			  a source's compliance with applicable emission limitations.
(1) NONFUGITIVE PARTICULATE EMISSIONS. The
			owner or operator of a source shall use Method 5, 5A, 5B, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5G, 5H,
			5I, or 17 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.

			NR
			484.04(9), to determine compliance
			with a nonfugitive particulate emission limitation.
(1m) NONFUGITIVE PM10

			or 201A in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix M, incorporated by reference in s.
			NR
			484.04(9), to determine compliance
			with a nonfugitive PM 10 particulate emission limitation.
(2) SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS. The owner or
			operator of a source shall use one or more of the following methods to
			determine compliance with a sulfur dioxide emission limitation:
(a) Perform compliance emission testing
			following Method 6, 6A, 6B, 6C, or 8 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A,
			incorporated by reference in s.
			NR
			484.04(13).
(b) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate
			a continuous emission monitor that meets the applicable performance
			specifications in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix B or, for affected units, the
			performance specifications in 40 CFR part 75, Appendices A to I, incorporated
			by reference in s.
			NR
			484.04(21) and (27). The owner or
			operator of the source shall submit a quality control and quality assurance
