I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
The revisions promulgated in this final rule apply to industries
that are subject to the current provisions of 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 51, 60, 61, and 63. We did not list all of the
specific affected industries or their North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes herein since there are many
affected sources in numerous NAICS categories. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult either the air permitting authority for the entity or
your EPA Regional representative as listed in 40 CFR 63.13.
B. What action is the Agency taking?
We are promulgating corrections and updates to regulations for
source testing of emissions. More specifically, we are correcting
typographical and technical errors, updating testing procedures, and
adding alternative equipment and methods the Agency has deemed
acceptable to use.
C. Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), judicial review
of this final rule is available by filing a petition for review in the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by
December 7, 2020. Under section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA, only an
objection to this final rule that was raised with reasonable
specificity during the period for public comment can be raised during
judicial review. Moreover, under section 307(b)(2) of the CAA, the
requirements that are the
[[Page 63395]]
subject of this final rule may not be challenged later in civil or
criminal proceedings brought by the EPA to enforce these requirements.
II. Background
The EPA catalogs errors, corrections, and approved alternatives to
test methods, performance specifications, and associated regulations in
40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61, and 63 and updates and revises these
provisions periodically. The most recent revisions to testing
regulations for air emission sources were proposed in the Federal
Register on December 13, 2019 (84 FR 68069). The public comment period
ended February 11, 2020, and 18 comment letters were received from the
public; 13 of the comment letters were relevant, and the other 5
comment letters were considered beyond the scope of the proposed rule.
This final rule was developed based on public comments that the agency
received on the proposed rulemaking.
III. Incorporation by Reference
Consistent with the proposal, EPA has incorporated by reference
various consensus standards. Specifically, the EPA has incorporated
ASTM D 2369-10, which covers volatile organic content of coatings, in
Method 24. In addition, in response to comments the EPA has
incorporated ASTM D5623-16 and ASTM D7039-15a in subpart KKKK of part
60, which involves procedures for determining the sulfur content of
liquid fuels. These standards were developed and adopted by ASTM
International and may be obtained from http://www.astm.org or from the
ASTM at 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA
19428-2959.
The EPA has incorporated by reference SW-846 Method 6010D and SW-
846 Method 6020B in Method 12. Method 6010D covers inductively coupled
plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) analysis, and Method
6020B covers inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
analysis. These methods may be obtained from https://www.epa.gov or
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue
NW, Washington, DE 20460.
The EPA has incorporated by reference Gas Processors Association
(GPA) 2140 and GPA 2261 in subpart KKKK of part 60, which involve
procedures for determining the sulfur content of gaseous fuels. The EPA
also incorporated by reference GPA 2166 and GPA 2174 in subpart KKKK of
part 60, which involve procedures for obtaining samples from gaseous
and liquid fuels, respectively. These GPA standards were developed and
adopted by the Gas Processors Association and may be obtained from
https://gpamidstream.org/ or from the Gas Processors Association, 6526
East 60th Street, Tulsa, OK 74145.
The EPA has incorporated by reference International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) 10715 in subpart KKKK of part 60. This
standard involves procedures for obtaining samples from gaseous fuels.
This standard was developed by the International Organization for
Standardization and may be obtained from https://www.iso.org/home.html
or from the IHS Inc., 15 Inverness Way East, Englewood, CO 80112.
The EPA incorporated by reference American Petroleum Institute
(API) Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 14--Natural
Gas Fluids Measurement, Section 1--Collecting and Handling of Natural
Gas Samples for Custody Transfer (MPMS 14.1) in subpart KKKK of part
60. This standard involves procedures for manually obtaining sampling
from gaseous fuels. This standard was developed by the American
Petroleum Institute and may be obtained from https://api.org/ or from
the American Petroleum Institute, 1220 L Street NW, Washington, DC
20005.
ASTM D4057-5 (Reapproved 2000), ASTM D4177-95 (Reapproved 2000),
ASTM D5287-97 (Reapproved 2002), ASTM D6348-03, ASTM D6784-02
(Reapproved 2008), and ASME PTC 19.10-1981 were previously approved for
incorporation by reference, and no changes were proposed.
The EPA updated the ASTM standards referenced in Method 311, but
these standards are not incorporated by reference. The EPA did not
update the ASTM standards referenced in Performance Standard 18, which
are not incorporated by reference.
IV. Summary of Amendments
A. Method 201A of Appendix M of Part 51
Consistent with our proposal, in Method 201A, section 1.2, the
erroneous gas filtration temperature limit of 30 [deg]C is revised to
29.4 [deg]C. In section 1.6, the erroneous word ``recommended'' is
corrected to ``required.'' Section 6.2.1(d) is revised to allow
polystyrene petri dishes as an alternative to polyethylene due to the
lack of commercially available polyethylene petri dishes. The
polystyrene petri dishes offer similar chemical resistivity to acids
and inorganics as polyethene and have been shown to transfer extreme
low residual gravimetric mass to filters when used in ambient air
applications. In section 8.6.6, the erroneous stack temperature of
10 [deg]C is revised to 28 [deg]C. In section
17.0, the erroneous caption for Figure 7 is corrected from ``Minimum
Number of Traverse Points for Preliminary Method 4 Traverse'' to
``Maximum Number of Required Traverse Points,'' and the erroneous y-
axis label is corrected from ``Minimum Number of Traverse Points'' to
``Maximum Number of Traverse Points.''
B. General Provisions (Subpart A) of Part 60
Consistent with our proposal, in the General Provisions, 40 CFR
60.17(h) is revised to add ASTM D2369-10 to the list of incorporations
by reference and to re-number the remaining consensus standards that
are incorporated by reference in alpha-numeric order.
In 40 CFR 60.17(j) is revised to add SW-846-6010D and SW-846-6020B
to the list of incorporations by reference and to re-number the
remaining standards that are incorporated by reference in alpha-numeric
order.
In 40 CFR 60.17(k) is revised to add GPA Standards 2166-17 and
2174-14 to the list of incorporations by reference and to re-number the
remaining GPA standards that are incorporated by reference in alpha-
numeric order.
In 40 CFR 60.17(l) is revised to add ISO 10715:1997 to the list of
incorporations by reference.
C. Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters (Subpart
AAA) of Part 60
In 40 CFR 60.534(h), the language is amended based on comments
received in response to an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(ANPRM), for Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters,
New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces (83 FR 61585,
November 30, 2018). Several commenters stated that the final clause of
these existing paragraphs would create loopholes that allow
manufacturers and test labs to withhold critical testing data. The EPA
recognizes that this provision was not intended to create an avenue for
omissions and is clarifying these communications and their reporting.
D. Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That
Commenced Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification After July 17,
2014 (Subpart XXX) of Part 60
In 40 CFR 60.766(a)(3), the text for calibration of temperature
measurement is revised to provide clarity and
[[Page 63396]]
improve the consistency of implementation, as proposed.
E. Standards of Performance for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units (Subpart CCCC) of Part 60
Consistent with our proposal, Subpart CCCC of Part 60 is revised to
clarify that (1) initial and annual performance testing for particulate
matter (PM) for waste-burning kilns and energy recovery units (ERU) is
to be conducted using Method 5 or Method 29 of Appendix A of Part 60;
(2) the required particulate matter continuous parameter monitoring
system (PM CPMS) is used to demonstrate continuing compliance with the
PM emission limit; and (3) heat input information must be reported for
each ERU. The current language in 40 CFR 60.2110(i), (i)(1)(iii) and
60.2145(b), when read together, make it clear that for purposes of
demonstrating compliance with the PM emission limit, there must be
initial testing and subsequently, annually and for ongoing continuous
demonstration of compliance, that data from the compliant performance
test in turn must be used to set an operating limit for the PM CPMS.
Paragraphs 60.2110(i)(1) and 60.2145(j) are revised to clarify that
the PM CPMS coupled with an operating limit is used for continuing
compliance demonstration with the PM emission limit. Paragraphs
60.2110(i)(1)(iii) and (i)(2) are revised to include Method 29 as an
alternative to Method 5 to measure PM in determining compliance with
the PM emission limit. Paragraph 60.2145(j) is also revised to add PM
to the list of pollutants for which performance tests are conducted
annually. Paragraph (p) is added to 40 CFR 60.2210 to require that
annual reports include the annual heat input and average annual heat
input rate of all fuels being burned in ERUs in order to verify which
subcategory of ERU applies.
The required annual performance test timeframe is changed from
``between 11 and 13 calendar months following the previous performance
test'' to ``no later than 13 calendar months following the previous
performance test'' in paragraphs 60.2145(y)(3) and 60.2150. The current
2-month testing range can present operational and testing challenges
for facilities that have multiple commercial and industrial solid waste
incineration (CISWI) units. In addition, this revision is consistent
with other rules, such as the National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants from Hazardous Waste Combustors, that maybe applicable
to CISWI units.
Tables 6 (Emission Limitations for Energy Recovery Units) and 7
(Emission Limitations for Waste-Burning Kilns) are revised to clarify
the performance test method for PM. The fourth column of the
``Particulate matter (filterable)'' row of Table 6 is revised to remove
the requirement to use a PM CPMS as the performance test method for
large ERU. The fourth column of the ``Particulate matter (filterable)''
row of Table 7 is revised to remove the requirement to use a PM CPMS
and to instead specify Methods 5 and 29 as alternatives for measuring
PM to determine compliance with the PM limit. The third column of the
``Particulate matter (filterable)'' row of Table 7 is changed from a
30-day rolling average to specify a 3-run average with a minimum sample
volume of 2 dry standard cubic meters (dscm) per run.
F. Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (Subpart DDDD) of Part 60
Consistent with our proposal, subpart DDDD of part 60 is revised to
clarify that (1) initial and annual performance testing for PM for
waste-burning kilns and ERU is to be conducted using Method 5 or Method
29 of Appendix A of part 60; (2) the required PM CPMS is used to
demonstrate continuing compliance with the PM emission limit; and (3)
heat input information must be reported for ERU. The current language
in 40 CFR 60.2675(i) and (i)(1)(iii) and 60.2710(b), when read
together, makes it clear that for purposes of demonstrating compliance
for PM, performance testing must be used initially and then annually
while for purposes of ongoing continuous demonstration of compliance,
data from the compliant performance test is in turn to be used to set
an operating limit for the PM CPMS.
Paragraphs 60.2675(i)(1) and 60.2710(j) are revised to clarify that
the PM CPMS is used for continuing compliance demonstration with the PM
emission limit. Paragraph 60.2710(j) is also revised to clarify that PM
performance tests are conducted annually and 40 CFR 60.2675(i)(1)(iii)
and (i)(2) are revised to include Method 29 as an alternative to Method
5 to measure PM in determining compliance with the PM emission limit.
Also, the required annual performance test timeframe is changed
from ``between 11 and 13 calendar months following the previous
performance test'' to ``no later than 13 calendar months following the
previous performance test'' in 40 CFR 60.2710(y)(3) and 60.2715. The
current 2-month testing range can present operational and testing
challenges for facilities that have multiple CISWI units. Additionally,
we note that this revision is consistent with other rules, such as the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Hazardous
Waste Combustors that might be applicable to CISWI units.
Tables 7 (Emission Limitations for Energy Recovery Units) and 8
(Emission Limitations That Apply to Waste-Burning Kilns) are revised to
clarify the performance test method for PM. The fourth column of the
``Particulate matter filterable'' row of Table 7 is revised to remove
the requirement to use a PM CPMS as the performance test method for
large ERU. The fourth column of the ``Particulate matter filterable''
row of Table 8 is revised to specify Methods 5 and 29 as alternatives
for measuring PM to determine compliance with the PM emission limit.
The third column of the ``Particulate matter filterable'' row of Table
8 is changed from a 30-day rolling average to specify a 3-run average
with a minimum sample volume of 1 dscm per run.
G. Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines (Subpart JJJJ) of Part 60
In Table 2 of subpart JJJJ, text is added to clarify that when
stack gas flowrate measurements are necessary, they must be made at the
same time as pollutant concentration measurements unless the option in
Method 1A is applicable and is being used. This revision is consistent
with our proposal.
H. Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines (Subpart
KKKK) of Part 60
As explained at proposal, in 2006, the EPA promulgated the
combustion turbine criteria pollutant NSPS, subpart KKKK of 40 CFR part
60 (71 FR 38482, July 6, 2006). This rule, which includes a sulfur
dioxide (SO2) emissions standard for all fuels, such as
natural gas, also made provisions to minimize the compliance burden for
owners/operators of combustion turbines burning natural gas and/or low
sulfur distillate oil. At the time, the Agency recognized that any
SO2 testing requirements for owners/operators of combustion
turbines burning natural gas would result in compliance costs without
any associated environmental benefit.
As explained at proposal, the initial and subsequent performance
tests required in 40 CFR 60.4415 may be satisfied by fuel analyses
performed by the facility, a contractor, the fuel vendor, or any other
qualified agency as
[[Page 63397]]
described in 40 CFR 60.4415(a)(1). However, the allowed fuel sample and
sulfur content measurement methods are not typically used by fuel
vendors and, as a result, tariff sheets cannot be used without approval
of an alternate method. We further explained that owner/operators of
the combustion turbines were now conducting sampling and testing using
a limited number of test methods, which is a burden that was not
intended in the original rulemaking.
To align the rule requirements with the original intent of subpart
KKKK, the EPA proposed and solicited comment on additional sampling and
sulfur content measurement methods in order to provide flexibility to
the regulatory community for purposes of satisfying the SO2
performance testing requirements. Commenters supported both test
methods the EPA specifically proposed and test methods the EPA
solicited comments on as additional compliance options. Commenters also
stated that the EPA should align the performance testing requirements
in 40 CFR 60.4415 with the monitoring requirements in 40 CFR 60.4365
and allow the use of a fuel tariff sheet or contract to satisfy the
performance testing requirements. Commenters further requested that the
EPA should allow for the use of the fuel sampling procedures specified
in section 2.3.1.4 or 2.3.2.4 of appendix D to part 75 to demonstrate
compliance with the SO2 performance testing requirements.
The EPA did not receive any comments opposing the proposed amendments.
In this action, 40 CFR 60.4415(a) is amended, as proposed, to
include GPA 2166 and ISO 10715 for manual sampling of gaseous fuels and
GPA 2174 for manual sampling of liquid fuels. In addition, in response
to comments supporting the EPA's solicitation for comment on additional
test methods, 40 CFR 60.4415(a) is amended to include API MPMS 14.1 for
manual sampling of gaseous fuels. In response to comments supporting
the EPA's solicitation for comment for determining the sulfur content
of liquid fuels, 40 CFR 60.4415(a) is amended to include ASTM D5623 and
ASTM D7039. In response to comments supporting the EPA's solicitation
for comment for determining the sulfur content of gaseous fuels, 40 CFR
60.4415(a) is amended to include GPA 2140 and GPA 2261. The EPA has
determined that these additional test methods will provide additional
flexibility to the regulated community without any emissions increase.
In addition, in response to comments, the EPA is amending 40 CFR
60.4415(a) to allow for the use of a purchase contract, tariff sheet,
or transportation contract for the fuel as an option for demonstrating
compliance with the SO2 performance testing requirements.
Also, in response to comments, 40 CFR 60.4415(a) is amended to allow
for the use of the fuel sampling procedures specified in section
2.3.1.4 or 2.3.2.4 of appendix D to part 75 to demonstrate compliance
with the SO2 performance testing requirements. These
amendments will align the performance testing requirements with the
monitoring requirements in 40 CFR 60.4365 and are consistent with the
original intent, including the estimated regulatory burden, of the
rule. Therefore, the EPA considers these options sufficient to
demonstrate compliance with subpart KKKK. The Agency notes that this
approach is consistent with the SO2 performance testing
requirements in other NSPS (e.g., 40 CFR 60.49b(r) in subpart Db).
I. Standard of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New
Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces (Subpart QQQQ) of
Part 60
In subpart QQQQ, in 40 CFR 60.5476(i), the language is amended
based on comments received in response to an ANPRM for Standards of
Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic
Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces (83 FR 61585, November 30, 2018).
Several commenters stated that the final clause of these existing
paragraphs would create loopholes that would likely allow manufacturers
and test labs to withhold critical testing data. The EPA recognizes
that this provision was not intended to create an avenue for omissions
and has now clarified these communications and their reporting.
J. Method 4 of Appendix A-3 of Part 60
In Method 4, the erroneous leak check procedures in section 8.1.3
are corrected. In response to comments, section 8.1.3.2.1 is revised to
remove the erroneous probe nozzle language, and section 8.1.3.2.2 is
revised to remove the erroneous reference to section 8.1.3.2.1. The
erroneous section 8.1.4.2 is corrected, and in the table in section
9.1, the erroneous reference to section 8.1.1.4 is replaced with
section 8.1.3.2.2.
Method 4 is revised to standardize the constants between Methods 4
and 5, and more significant digits are added to constants to remove
rounding and truncation errors. Also, the option for volumetric
determination of the liquid content is deleted to remove the
unnecessary density conversion. We believe most method users have moved
to gravimetric measurement of the liquid contents in order to reduce
testing costs and increase the accuracy of liquid measurement.
Revisions occur in various sections (2.1, 6.1.5, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1.1,
12.1.2, 12.1.3, 12.2.1, and 12.2.2) and Figures 4-4 and 4-5. Also, in
response to comments, the language in section 8.1.2.1 is revised to be
consistent with our decision to disallow the option for volumetric
moisture measurement.
K. Method 5 of Appendix A-3 of Part 60
In Method 5, sections 6.2.4 and 8.1.2 are revised to allow
polystyrene petri dishes as an alternative to polyethylene due to the
lack of commercially available polyethylene petri dishes. The
polystyrene petri dishes offer similar chemical resistivity to acids
and inorganics as polyethene and have been shown to transfer extreme
low residual gravimetric mass to the filters when used in ambient air
applications.
Method 5 is also revised to standardize the constants between
Methods 4 and 5, and more significant digits are added to constants to
remove rounding and truncation errors. Also, the option for volumetric
determination of the liquid content is deleted to remove the
unnecessary density conversion. We believe most method users have moved
to gravimetric measurement of the liquid contents to lower the cost and
increase the accuracy of the liquid measurement. Revisions occur in
various sections (6.1.1.8, 6.2.5, 8.1.2.1, 8.7.6.4, 12.1, 12.3, 12.4,
12.11.1, 12.11.2, 16.1.1.4, and 16.2.3.3) and in Figure 5-6. All these
revisions are consistent with the proposal.
L. Method 7C of Appendix A-4 of Part 60
In Method 7C, in section 7.2.11, the erroneous chemical compound,
sodium sulfite is corrected to sodium nitrite, as proposed.
M. Method 7E of Appendix A-4 of Part 60
In Method 7E, section 8.5 is revised to ensure that the specified
bias and calibration error checks are performed consistently. The
results of the post-run system bias and calibration error checks are
used to validate the run, as well as to correct the results of each
individual test run for bias found in the sampling system. The more
frequently these checks are performed, the more accurate the bias
adjusted data will be. All these revisions are consistent with the
proposal.
[[Page 63398]]
N. Method 12 of Appendix A-5 of Part 60
In Method 12, sections 7.1.2, 8.7.1.6, 8.7.3.1, and 8.7.3.6 are
revised to remove references regarding the use of silicone grease,
which is no longer allowed when conducting Method 5, and section 12.3
is revised to correctly refer to the title of section 12.4 of Method 5.
Sections 8.7.3.3 and 12.1 are revised based on a public comment to
be consistent with the revision to eliminate the option for volumetric
determination of the liquid content of impingers in Method 5. The
language in section 8.7.3.3 is revised, and ``[rho]w =
Density of water, 0.9982 g/ml (0.002201 lb/ml)'' is removed from
section 12.1.
Section 16.1 allows measurements of PM emissions in conjunction
with the lead measurement but does not currently provide enough detail
to ensure proper PM measurement. Revisions to section 16.1 provide
testers with necessary procedures to execute PM and lead emissions
measurements using one sampling train.
Sections 16.3, 16.4.1, 16.4.2, 16.5, 16.5.1, and 16.5.2 are revised
to specify appropriate EPA analytical methods, as well as supporting
quality assurance procedures, as part of allowed alternatives for the
use of inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-
AES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for
sample analysis. Section 16.0 currently allows three alternatives to
the atomic absorption analysis otherwise required in Method 12;
specifically, ICP-AES in section 16.4, ICP-MS in section 16.5, and cold
vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS) in section 16.6.
Regarding options to use ICP-AES and ICP-MS for analysis of lead,
sections 16.4 and 16.5 currently do not include either specifics for
applying these candidate analytical techniques, or procedures for
assessing data quality. The revisions provide the needed specificity by
referencing existing EPA methods for ICP-AES and ICP-MS along with
supporting quality assurance requirements. The option to use CVAFS to
measure lead (section 16.6) is removed since CVAFS for lead is not
generally available and there is no existing EPA method for conducting
it. These revisions are consistent with the proposal.
O. Method 16B of Appendix A-6 of Part 60
In Method 16B, in section 2.1, the erroneous phrase ``an integrated
gas sample'' is corrected to ``a gas sample.'' In sections 6.1 and 8.2,
the reference to section 8.4.1 is changed to 8.3.1 since section 8.4.1
is renumbered to 8.3.1. The text in section 8.3, ``Analysis. Inject
aliquots of the sample into the GC/FPD analyzer for analysis. Determine
the concentration of SO2 directly from the calibration
curves or from the equation for the least-squares line.'' is moved to
section 11.1 to be consistent with EPA test method formatting. Sections
8.4, 8.4.1, and 8.4.2 are renumbered to 8.3, 8.3.1, and 8.3.2,
respectively, since the text in section 8.3 is moved to section 11.1.
In section 11.1, the sentence ``Sample collection and analysis are
concurrent for this method (see section 8.3).'' is deleted. Section
11.2 is added so that a uniform set of analysis results would be
obtained over the test period. These revisions are consistent with the
proposal.
P. Method 16C of Appendix A-6 of Part 60
In Method 16C, in section 13.1, ``gas concentration'' is replaced
with ``span'' for clarity, as proposed.
Q. Method 24 of Appendix A-7 of Part 60
In Method 24, section 6.2, ASTM D 2369-10, which is the most recent
version of ASTM D 2369, is added as proposed.
R. Method 25C of Appendix A-7 of Part 60
We proposed to change the correction of non-methane organic
compounds (NMOC) within the method. Currently, NMOC is to be corrected
by using either nitrogen or oxygen content. The correction is through
use of nitrogen unless the nitrogen content exceeds a threshold of 20
percent. When the nitrogen threshold is above 20 percent, the
correction is through use of oxygen. We considered multiple options for
revisions, based on data provided by industry. These options and data
are available in the docket for this rulemaking, docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-
2018-0815. The revisions to the correction that we considered are for
when only oxygen is used as a NMOC correction, setting a rainfall
threshold in lieu of a nitrogen percent threshold, and requiring a
methane measurement and using methane only as the correction. We
provided amendatory text for each option in docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-
0815. Based on comments we received on proposed options, we are
finalizing Option 3 with revisions to the ambient air ratio quality
assurance to alleviate the sampling issues in arid areas. Therefore,
sections 8.4.2, 9.1, 12.5, 12.5.1, and 12.5.2 are revised.
S. Method 26 of Appendix A-8 of Part 60
In Method 26, in section 8.1.2, the misspelled word
``undereporting'' in the next to the last sentence is corrected to
``under reporting,'' as proposed.
T. Method 26A of Appendix A-8 of Part 60
In Method 26A, section 6.1.3, a reference to section 6.1.1.7 of
Method 5 is added to make the filter temperature sensor placement
consistent with the requirements in Method 5. Also, in section 6.1.3,
the requirement that the filter temperature sensor must be encased in
glass or Teflon is added because of the reactive nature of the halogen
acids. In section 8.1.5, the misspelled word ``undereporting'' is
corrected to ``under reporting.'' These revisions are consistent with
the proposal.
U. Performance Specification 4B of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 4B, the response time in section 4.5
is changed from ``must not exceed 2 minutes'' to ``must not exceed 240
seconds'' to be consistent with the response time in Performance
Specification 4A, as proposed.
V. Performance Specification 5 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 5, section 5.0, the erroneous term
``users manual'' is replaced with ``user's manual,'' and in the note in
section 8.1, the sentence ``For Method 16B, you must analyze a minimum
of three aliquots spaced evenly over the test period.'' is added to
provide consistency with the number of aliquots analyzed in Method 16B,
which may be used as the reference method. This revision is consistent
with the proposal. In addition, the typo, ``space'' in the first
sentence in the note in section 8.1 is corrected to ``spaced''.
W. Performance Specification 6 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 6, section 13.1 is revised to clarify
that the calibration drift test period for the analyzers associated
with the measurement of flow rate should be the same as that for the
pollutant analyzer that is part of the continuous emission rate
monitoring system (CERMS), as proposed. Section 13.2 is revised for
clarity and to be consistent with the requirements in Performance
Specification 2, as proposed, and the erroneous reference to
Performance Specification 1 is corrected to Performance Specification 2
in response
[[Page 63399]]
to a public comment we received on the proposal.
X. Performance Specification 8 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 8, a new section 8.3 is added to
require that an instrument drift check be performed as described in
Performance Specification 2, and the existing sections 8.3, 8.4, and
8.5 are re-numbered as 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6, respectively. These revisions
are consistent with the proposal.
Y. Performance Specification 9 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 9, the quality control and performance
audit sections are clarified. In section 7.2, a requirement that
performance audit gas must be an independent certified gas cylinder or
cylinder mixture certified by the supplier to be accurate to two
percent of the tagged value supplied with the cylinder is added.
In section 8.3, an incorrect reference concerning quality control
requirements that pertain to the 7-day drift test is clarified and
corrected, and an incorrect reference to the error calculation equation
is corrected. In section 8.4, a requirement to ensure that performance
audit samples challenge the entire sampling system including the sample
transport lines is added, and quality control requirements that must be
met for performance audit tests are specified by adding references to
sections 13.3 and 13.4.
In section 10.1, the erroneous word ``initial'' is deleted from the
title, ``Initial Multi-Point Calibration,'' and the quality control
requirements that must be met for multi-point calibrations are
specified by referencing sections 13.1 and 13.2 in addition to 13.3.
Sections 10.1 and 10.2 are clarified such that calibrations may be
performed at the instrument rather than through the entire sampling
system. The inadvertently omitted word, ``by'' is inserted in the
sentence in section 10.2 that reads, ``The average instrument response
shall not vary more than 10 percent from the certified concentration
value of the cylinder for each analyte.''
In section 13.1, language is clarified to ensure that every time a
triplicate injection is performed, the calibration error must be less
than or equal to 10 percent of the calibration gas value. In section
13.2, language is clarified to specify that the linear regression
correlation coefficient must be determined to evaluate the calibration
curve for instrument response every time the continuous emission
monitoring system (CEMS) response is evaluated over multiple
concentration levels. Section 13.4 is added to describe the quality
control requirements for the initial and periodic performance audit
test sample. These revisions are consistent with the proposal.
Z. Performance Specification 18 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 18, section 2.3 is revised to clarify
that Method 321 is only applicable to Portland cement plants. Also, in
section 11.9.1, the reference to Method 321 is deleted because Method
321 is specific to Portland cement plants, and it is already specified
in the applicable regulations. These revisions are consistent with the
proposal.
AA. Procedure 1 of Appendix F of Part 60
In Procedure 1, section 5.2.3(2), the criteria for cylinder gas
audits (CGAs) as applicable to diluent monitors is specified for
clarity, as proposed.
BB. Appendix B to Part 61--Test Methods
In the index to Appendix B to Part 61, the inadvertently omitted
Method 114--Test Methods for Measuring Radionuclide Emissions from
Stationary Sources and Method 115--Monitoring for Radon-222 Emissions
are added in response to a comment on the proposed rulemaking.
CC. Method 107 of Appendix B of Part 61
In Method 107, the erroneous Equation 107-3 is corrected by adding
the omitted plus (+) sign, as proposed.
DD. General Provisions (Subpart A) of Part 63
In the General Provisions of Part 63, in 40 CFR 63.2, consistent
with the proposal, the definition of alternative test method is revised
to exclude ``that is not a test method in this chapter and'' because
this clarifies that use of methods other than those required by a
specific subpart requires the alternative test method review and
approval process.
EE. Portland Cement Manufacturing (Subpart LLL) of Part 63
In subpart LLL, the units of measurement in Equations 12, 13, 17,
18, and 19 are revised to add clarity and consistency. Equations 12 and
13 are corrected so that the operating limit units of measurement is
calculated correctly. The calculation of the operating limit is
established by a relationship of the total hydrocarbons (THC) CEMS
signal to the organic HAPs compliance concentration. As explained at
proposal, in Table 1 in Part 63, Subpart LLL, the THC and organic HAP
emissions limits units are in ppmvd corrected to 7 percent oxygen.
Therefore, the average organic HAP values in equation 12 need to be in
ppmvd, corrected to 7 percent oxygen, instead of ppmvw. The THC CEMS
monitor units of measure are ppmvw, as propane and the variables are
updated to reflect this. The variables in Equations 13 and 19 reference
variables in Equations 12 and 18, respectively. Those variables are
updated for consistency between the equations.
The units of measurement in Equation 17 should be the monitoring
system's units of measure. It is possible for those systems to be on
either a wet or a dry basis. Currently, the equation is only on a wet
basis, even though it should be on the basis of the monitor (wet or
dry). The changes to the units of measure from ppmvw to ppmv takes
either possibility into account. For Equations 17 and 18, the operating
limit units of measure are changed to the units of the CEMS monitor,
ppmv. These revisions are consistent with the proposal.
FF. Method 301 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 301, section 11.1.3, the erroneous SD in Equation 301-13
is replaced with SDd, consistent with the proposal.
GG. Method 308 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 308, section 12.4, erroneous Equation 308-3 is corrected,
and in section 12.5, erroneous Equation 308-5 is corrected, consistent
with the proposal.
HH. Method 311 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 311, in sections 1.1 and 17, the ASTM is updated.
Specifically, in section 1.1, ASTM D4747-87 is updated to D4747-02, and
ASTM D4827-93 is updated to D4827-03. Also, in section 1.1, Provisional
Standard Test Method, PS 9-94 is replaced with D5910-05. In section 17,
ASTM D4457-85 is updated to ASTM D4457-02, and ASTM D4827-93 is updated
to ASTM D4827-03. These updates are consistent with the proposal.
II. Method 315 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 315, in Figure 315-1, an omission is corrected by adding
a ``not to exceed'' blank criteria for filters used in this test
procedure. The blank criteria were derived from evaluation of blank and
spiked filters used to prepare Method 315 audit samples. We set the
allowable blank correction for filters
[[Page 63400]]
based on the greater of two criteria. The first criterion requires the
blank to be at least 10 times the measured filter blanks from the audit
study. The second criterion requires the blank to be at least 5 times
the resolution of the analytical balance required in Method 315. The
``not to exceed'' value is, therefore, based on the second criterion
(balance resolution) because it is the higher of the two criteria.
These revisions are consistent with the proposal.
JJ. Method 316 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 316, section 1.0, the erroneous positive exponents are
corrected to negative exponents. Also, the title of section 1.0,
``Introduction,'' is changed to ``Scope and Application'' to be
consistent with the Environmental Monitoring Management Council (EMMC)
format for test methods. These revisions are consistent with the
proposal.
KK. Method 323 of Appendix A of Part 63
In the title of Method 323, the misspelled word ``Derivitization''
is corrected to ``Derivatization,'' and in section 2.0, the misspelled
word ``colorietrically'' is corrected to ``colorimetrically.'' These
revisions are consistent with the proposal.
V. Public Comments on the Proposed Rule
Eighteen comment letters were received from the public on the
proposed rulemaking; 13 of the comment letters were relevant, and the
other five comment letters are considered beyond the scope of the
proposed rulemaking. The public comments and the agency's responses are
summarized in the Response to Comments document located in the docket
for this rule. See the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action and was,
therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.
B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs
This action is considered an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory
action. This final rule provides meaningful burden reduction by
updating and clarifying test methods and performance specifications,
thereby improving data quality and by providing source testers
flexibility by incorporating approved alternative procedures.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose any information collection burden under
the PRA. The revisions make corrections and updates to existing testing
methodology and clarify testing requirements.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This action will not impose emission
measurement requirements beyond those specified in the current
regulations, nor does it change any emission standard. We have,
therefore, concluded that this action will have no net regulatory
burden for all directly regulated small entities.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local or tribal governments or the private sector.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action simply corrects and updates existing
testing regulations. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental
health risk or safety risk.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action involves technical standards. The EPA used ASTM D 2369
in Method 24. The ASTM D 2369 standard covers volatile content of
coatings. The EPA used (but is not incorporating by reference) ASTM D
4457, ASTM D 4827, and ASTM D 5910 in Method 311. These ASTM standards
cover procedures to identify and quantify hazardous air pollutants in
paints and coatings. The EPA used ASTM D 5623 and ASTM D 7039 in
subpart KKKK of Part 60. The ASTM D 5623 standard covers the
determination of sulfur compounds in light petroleum liquids, and the
ASTM D 7039 standard covers the determination of sulfur in gasoline and
diesel fuel. The ASTM standards were developed and adopted by the
American Society for Testing and Materials and may be obtained from
http://www.astm.org or from the ASTM at 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box
C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.
The EPA used SW-846-6010D and SW-846-6020B in Method 12. Method SW-
846-6010D covers inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission
spectrometry (ICP-AES) analysis, and Method SW-846-6020B covers
inductively coupled plasma-mass
[[Page 63401]]
spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis. These standards were developed and
adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency and may be obtained from
http://www.epa.gov or from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency at
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20460.
The EPA used API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter
14--Natural Gas Fluids Measurement (Section 1) in Subpart KKKK of Part
60. This API standard involves the collecting and handling of natural
gas samples for custody transfer. This API standard was developed and
adopted by the American Petroleum Institute and may be obtained from
https://www.api.org/ or from the American Petroleum Institute at 1220 L
Street NW, Washington, DC 20005.
The EPA used GPA 2166 in Subpart KKKK of Part 60, which involves
procedures for obtaining samples from gaseous fuels. The EPA used GPA
2174 in Subpart KKKK of Part 60, which involves procedures for
obtaining samples from liquid fuels. The EPA used GPA 2140 in subpart
KKKK of Part 60, which involves liquefied petroleum gas specifications
and test methods. The EPA used GPA 2261 in subpart KKKK of Part 60,
which is a procedure for analyzing natural gas and similar gaseous
mixtures. These GPA standards were developed and adopted by the GPA
Midstream Association and may be obtained from https://www.gpamidstream.org/ or from the GPA Midstream Association, Sixty
Sixty American Plaza, Suite 700, Tulsa, OK 74135.
The EPA used ISO 10715 in subpart KKKK of Part 60. This standard
involves procedures for obtaining samples from gaseous fuels. This
standard was developed by the International Organization for
Standardization and may be obtained from https://www.iso.org/home.html
or from the ISH Inc., 15 Inverness Way East, Englewood, CO 80112.
Multiple ASTM and GPA standards were previously approved on July 6,
2006, and are already included in the regulatory text. Therefore, the
current the IBR is unchanged in this rule for the following methods:
ASTM D129-00, ASTM D1072-90 (Reapproved 1999); ASTM D1266-98
(Reapproved 2003)[egr],1; ASTM D1552-03, ASTM D2622-05, ASTM D3246-05,
ASTM D4057-95 (Reapproved 2000), ASTM D4084-05, ASTM D4177-95
(Reapproved 2000); ASTM D4294-03, ASTM D4468-85 (Reapproved 2000); ASTM
D4810-88 (Reapproved 1999); ASTM D5287-97 (Reapproved 2002); ASTM
D5453-05, ASTM D6228-98 (Reapproved 2003); ASTM D6667-04, and GPA 2377-
86.
K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes that this action is not subject to Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because it does not establish an
environmental health or safety standard. This action is a technical
correction to previously promulgated regulatory actions and does not
have an impact on human health or the environment.
L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each house of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

2. In appendix M to part 51, in Method 201A, revise sections ``1.2'',
``1.6'', ``6.2.1(d)'', and ``8.6.6'' and ``Figure 7'' to read as
follows:
Appendix M to Part 51--Recommended Test Methods for State
Implementation Plans
* * * * *
Method 201A--Determination of PM10 and PM2.5
Emissions From Stationary Sources (Constant Sampling Rate Procedure)
* * * * *
1.2 Applicability. This method addresses the equipment,
preparation, and analysis necessary to measure filterable PM. You
can use this method to measure filterable PM from stationary sources
only. Filterable PM is collected in stack with this method (i.e.,
the method measures materials that are solid or liquid at stack
conditions). If the gas filtration temperature exceeds 29.4 [deg]C
(85 [deg]F), then you may use the procedures in this method to
measure only filterable PM (material that does not pass through a
filter or a cyclone/filter combination). If the gas filtration
temperature exceeds 29.4 [deg]C (85 [deg]F), and you must measure
both the filterable and condensable (material that condenses after
passing through a filter) components of total primary (direct) PM
emissions to the atmosphere, then you must combine the procedures in
this method with the procedures in Method 202 of appendix M to this
part for measuring condensable PM. However, if the gas filtration
temperature never exceeds 29.4 [deg]C (85 [deg]F), then use of
Method 202 of appendix M to this part is not required to measure
total primary PM.
* * * * *
1.6 Conditions. You can use this method to obtain particle
sizing at 10 micrometers and or 2.5 micrometers if you sample within
80 and 120 percent of isokinetic flow. You can also use this method
to obtain total filterable particulate if you sample within 90 to
110 percent of isokinetic flow, the number of sampling points is the
same as required by Method 5 of appendix A-3 to part 60 or Method 17
of appendix A-6 to part 60, and the filter temperature is within an
acceptable range for these methods. For Method 5, the acceptable
range for the filter temperature is generally 120 [deg]C (248
[deg]F) unless a higher or lower temperature is specified. The
acceptable range varies depending on the source, control technology
and applicable rule or permit condition. To satisfy Method 5
criteria, you may need to remove the in-stack filter and use an out-
of-stack filter and recover the PM in the probe between the
PM2.5 particle sizer and the filter. In addition, to
satisfy Method 5 and Method 17 criteria, you may need to sample from
more than 12 traverse points. Be aware that this method determines
in-stack PM10 and PM2.5 filterable emissions
by sampling from a required maximum of 12 sample points, at a
constant flow rate through the train (the constant flow is necessary
to maintain the size cuts of the cyclones), and with a filter that
is at the stack temperature. In contrast, Method 5 or Method 17
trains are operated isokinetically with varying flow rates through
the train. Method 5 and Method 17 require sampling from as many as
24 sample points. Method 5 uses an out-of-stack filter that is
maintained at a constant temperature of 120 [deg]C (248 [deg]F).
Further, to use this method in place of Method 5 or Method 17, you
must extend the sampling time so that you collect the minimum mass
necessary for weighing each portion of this sampling train. Also, if
you are using this method as an alternative to a test method
specified in a regulatory
[[Page 63402]]
requirement (e.g., a requirement to conduct a compliance or
performance test), then you must receive approval from the authority
that established the regulatory requirement before you conduct the
test.
* * * * *
6.2.1 * * *
(d) Petri dishes. For filter samples; glass, polystyrene, or
polyethylene, unless otherwise specified by the Administrator.
* * * * *
8.6.6 Sampling Head. You must preheat the combined sampling head
to the stack temperature of the gas stream at the test location
(28 [deg]C, 50 [deg]F). This will heat the
sampling head and prevent moisture from condensing from the sample
gas stream.

compliance with the standards and requirements for certification?
* * * * *
(h) The approved test laboratory must allow the manufacturer, the
manufacturer's approved third-party certifier, the EPA and delegated
state regulatory agencies to observe certification testing. However,
manufacturers must not involve themselves in the conduct of the test
after the pretest burn has begun. Communications between the
manufacturer and laboratory or third-party certifier personnel
regarding operation of the wood heater must be limited to written
communications transmitted prior to the first pretest burn of the
certification test series. During certification tests, the manufacturer
may communicate with the third-party certifier, and only in writing, to
notify them that the manufacturer has observed a deviation from proper
test procedures by the laboratory. All communications must be included
in the test documentation required to be submitted pursuant to Sec.
60.533(b)(5) and must be consistent with instructions provided in the
owner's manual required under Sec. 60.536(g).

7. Amend Sec. 60.2110 by revising paragraphs (i) introductory text,
(i)(1), and (i)(2) introductory text to read as follows:
Sec. 60.2110 What operating limits must I meet and by when?
* * * * *
(i) If you use a PM CPMS to demonstrate continuing compliance, you
must establish your PM CPMS operating limit and determine compliance
with it according to paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section:
(1) Determine your operating limit as the average PM CPMS output
value recorded during the performance test or at a PM CPMS output value
corresponding to 75 percent of the emission limit if your PM
performance test demonstrates compliance below 75 percent of the
emission limit. You must verify an existing or establish a new
operating limit after each repeated performance test. You must repeat
the performance test annually and reassess and adjust the site-specific
operating limit in accordance with the results of the performance test:
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4-20 milliamp output, or digital
equivalent, and the establishment of its relationship to manual
reference
[[Page 63404]]
method measurements must be determined in units of milliamps;
(ii) Your PM CPMS operating range must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level equivalent to at least two times
your allowable emission limit. If your PM CPMS is an auto-ranging
instrument capable of multiple scales, the primary range of the
instrument must be capable of reading PM concentration from zero to a
level equivalent to two times your allowable emission limit; and
(iii) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values, or their digital equivalent,
from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the compliance test
runs (e.g., average all your PM CPMS output values for three
corresponding Method 5 or Method 29 test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM performance test runs are below
75 percent of your PM emissions limit, you must calculate an operating
limit by establishing a relationship of PM CPMS signal to PM
concentration using the PM CPMS instrument zero, the average PM CPMS
output values corresponding to the three compliance test runs, and the
average PM concentration from the Method 5 or Method 29 performance
test with the procedures in (i)(1) through (5) of this section:

8. Amend Sec. 60.2145 by revising paragraphs (j) introductory text and
(y)(3) to read as follows:
Sec. 60.2145 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
emission limitations and the operating limits?
* * * * *
(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must conduct an annual performance
test for particulate matter, cadmium, lead, carbon monoxide, dioxins/
furans and hydrogen chloride as listed in Table 7 of this subpart,
unless you choose to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance
using CEMS, as allowed in paragraph (u) of this section. If you do not
use an acid gas wet scrubber or dry scrubber, you must determine
compliance with the hydrogen chloride emissions limit using a HCl CEMS
according to the requirements in paragraph (j)(1) of this section. You
must determine compliance with the mercury emissions limit using a
mercury CEMS or an integrated sorbent trap monitoring system according
to paragraph (j)(2) of this section. You must determine compliance with
nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide using CEMS. You must determine
continuing compliance with the particulate matter emissions limit using
a PM CPMS according to paragraph (x) of this section.
* * * * *
(y) * * *
(3) For purposes of determining the combined emissions from kilns
equipped with an alkali bypass or that exhaust kiln gases to a coal
mill that exhausts through a separate stack, instead of installing a
CEMS or PM CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or in-line coal mill stack,
the results of the initial and subsequent performance test can be used
to demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit. A
performance test must be conducted on an annual basis (no later than 13
calendar months following the previous performance test).

10. Amend Sec. 60.2210 by revising the introductory text and adding
paragraph (p) to read as follows:
Sec. 60.2210 What information must I include in my annual report?
The annual report required under Sec. 60.2205 must include the
items listed in paragraphs (a) through (p) of this section. If you have
a deviation from the operating limits or the emission limitations, you
must also submit deviation reports as specified in Sec. Sec. 60.2215,
60.2220, and 60.2225:

Sec. 60.4415 How do I conduct the initial and subsequent performance
tests for sulfur?
(a) You must conduct an initial performance test, as required in
Sec. 60.8. Subsequent SO2 performance tests shall be
conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following
the previous performance test). There are four methodologies that you
may use to conduct the performance tests.
(1) The use of a current, valid purchase contract, tariff sheet, or
transportation contract for the fuel specifying the maximum total
sulfur content of all fuels combusted in the affected facility.
Alternately, the fuel sampling data specified in section 2.3.1.4 or
2.3.2.4 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter may be used.
(2) Periodically determine the sulfur content of the fuel combusted
in the turbine, a representative fuel sample may be collected either by
an automatic sampling system or manually. For automatic sampling,
follow ASTM D5287 (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17) for
gaseous fuels or ASTM D4177 (incorporated by reference, see Sec.
60.17) for liquid fuels. For manual sampling of gaseous fuels, follow
API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 14, Section 1,
GPA 2166, or ISO 10715 (all incorporated by reference, see Sec.
60.17). For manual sampling of liquid fuels, follow GPA 2174 or the
procedures for manual pipeline sampling in section 14 of ASTM D4057
(both incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17). The fuel analyses of
this section may be performed either by you, a service contractor
retained by you, the fuel vendor, or any other qualified agency.
Analyze the samples for the total sulfur content of the fuel using:
(i) For liquid fuels, ASTM D129, or alternatively D1266, D1552,
D2622, D4294, D5453, D5623, or D7039 (all incorporated by reference,

manufacturer and laboratory or third-party certifier personnel
regarding operation of the central heater must be limited to written
communications transmitted prior to the first pretest burn of the
certification test series. During certification tests, the manufacturer
may communicate with the third-party certifier, and only in writing to
notify them that the manufacturer has observed a deviation from proper
test procedures by the laboratory. All communications must be included
in the test documentation required to be submitted pursuant to Sec.

8.1.3 Leak-Check Procedures.
8.1.3.1 Leak Check of Metering System Shown in Figure 4-1. That
portion of the sampling train from the pump to the orifice meter
should be leak-checked prior to initial use and after each shipment.
Leakage after the pump will result in less volume being recorded
than is actually sampled. The following procedure is suggested (see
Figure 5-2 of Method 5): Close the main valve on the meter box.
Insert a one-hole rubber stopper with rubber tubing attached into
the orifice exhaust pipe. Disconnect and vent the low side of the
orifice manometer. Close off the low side orifice tap. Pressurize
the system to 13 to 18 cm (5 to 7 in.) water column by blowing into
the rubber tubing. Pinch off the tubing and observe the manometer
for one minute. A loss of pressure on the manometer indicates a leak
in the meter box; leaks, if present, must be corrected.
8.1.3.2 Pretest Leak Check. A pretest leak check of the sampling
train is recommended, but not required. If the pretest leak check is
conducted, the following procedure should be used.
8.1.3.2.1 After the sampling train has been assembled, turn on
and set the filter and probe heating systems to the desired
operating temperatures. Allow time for the temperatures to
stabilize.
8.1.3.2.2 Leak-check the train by first plugging the inlet to
the filter holder and pulling a 380 mm (15 in.) Hg vacuum. Then
connect the probe to the train, and leak-check at approximately 25
mm (1 in.) Hg vacuum; alternatively, the probe may be leak-checked
with the rest of the sampling train, in one step, at 380 mm (15 in.)
Hg vacuum. Leakage rates in excess of 4 percent of the average
sampling rate or 0.00057 m\3\/min (0.020 cfm), whichever is less,
are unacceptable.
8.1.3.2.3 Start the pump with the bypass valve fully open and
the coarse adjust valve completely closed. Partially open the coarse
adjust valve, and slowly close the bypass valve until the desired
vacuum is reached. Do not reverse the direction of the bypass valve,
as this will cause water to back up into the filter holder. If the
desired vacuum is exceeded, either leak-check at this higher vacuum,
or end the leak check and start over.
8.1.3.2.4 When the leak check is completed, first slowly remove
the plug from the inlet to the probe, filter holder, and immediately
turn off the vacuum pump. This prevents the water in the impingers
from being forced backward into the filter holder and the silica gel
from being entrained backward into the third impinger.
8.1.3.3 Leak Checks During Sample Run. If, during the sampling
run, a component (e.g., filter assembly or impinger) change becomes
necessary, a leak check shall be conducted immediately before the
change is made. The leak check shall be done according to the
procedure outlined in section 8.1.3.2 above, except that it shall be
done at a vacuum equal to or greater than the maximum value recorded
up to that point in the test. If the leakage rate is found to be no
greater than 0.00057 m\3\/min (0.020 cfm) or 4 percent of the
average sampling rate (whichever is less), the results are
acceptable, and no correction will need to be applied to the total
volume of dry gas metered; if, however, a higher leakage rate is
obtained, either record the leakage rate and plan to correct the
sample volume as shown in section 12.3 of Method 5, or void the
sample run.
Note: Immediately after component changes, leak checks are
optional. If such leak checks are done, the procedure outlined in
section 8.1.3.2 above should be used.
8.1.3.4 Post-Test Leak Check. A leak check of the sampling train
is mandatory at the conclusion of each sampling run. The leak check
shall be performed in accordance with the procedures outlined in
section 8.1.3.2, except that it shall be conducted at a vacuum equal
to or greater than the maximum value reached during the sampling
run. If the leakage rate is found to be no greater than 0.00057 m\3\
min (0.020 cfm) or 4 percent of the average sampling rate (whichever
is less), the results are acceptable, and no correction need be
applied to the total volume of dry gas metered. If, however, a
higher leakage rate is obtained, either record the leakage rate and
correct the sample volume as shown in section 12.3 of Method 5 or
void the sampling run.
* * * * *
8.1.4.2 At the end of the sample run, close the coarse adjust
valve, remove the probe and nozzle from the stack, turn off the
pump, record the final DGM meter reading, and conduct a post-test
leak check, as outlined in section 8.1.3.4.

Method 5--Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions From Stationary
Sources
* * * * *
6.1.1.8 Condenser. The following system shall be used to
determine the stack gas moisture content: Four impingers connected
in series with leak-free ground glass fittings or any similar leak-
free noncontaminating fittings. The first, third, and fourth
impingers shall be of the Greenburg-Smith design, modified by
replacing the tip with a 1.3 cm (\1/2\ in.) ID glass tube extending
to about 1.3 cm (\1/2\ in.) from the bottom of the flask. The second
impinger shall be of the Greenburg-Smith design with the standard
tip. Modifications (e.g., using flexible connections between the
impingers, using materials other than glass, or using flexible
vacuum lines to connect the filter holder to the condenser) may be
used, subject to the approval of the Administrator. The first and
second impingers shall contain known quantities of water (Section
8.3.1), the third shall be empty, and the fourth shall contain a
known weight of silica gel, or equivalent desiccant. A temperature
sensor, capable of measuring temperature to within 1 [deg]C (2
[deg]F) shall be placed at the outlet of the fourth impinger for
monitoring purposes. Alternatively, any system that cools the sample
gas stream and allows measurement of the water condensed and
moisture leaving the condenser, each to within 0.5 g may be used,
subject to the approval of the Administrator. An acceptable
technique involves the measurement of condensed water either
gravimetrically and the determination of the moisture leaving the
condenser by: (1) Monitoring the temperature and pressure at the
exit of the condenser and using Dalton's law of partial pressures;
or (2) passing the sample gas stream through a tared silica gel (or
equivalent desiccant) trap with exit gases kept below 20 [deg]C (68
[deg]F) and determining the weight gain. If means other than silica
gel are used to determine the amount of moisture leaving the
condenser, it is recommended that silica gel (or equivalent) still
be used between the condenser system and pump to prevent moisture
condensation in the pump and metering devices and to avoid the need
to make corrections for moisture in the metered volume.
Note: If a determination of the PM collected in the impingers is
desired in addition to moisture content, the impinger system
described above shall be used, without modification. Individual
States or control agencies requiring this information shall be
contacted as to the sample recovery and analysis of the impinger
contents.
* * * * *
6.2.4 Petri dishes. For filter samples; glass, polystyrene, or
polyethylene, unless otherwise specified by the Administrator.
6.2.5 Balance. To measure condensed water to within 0.5 g at a
minimum.
* * * * *
8.1.2 Check filters visually against light for irregularities,
flaws, or pinhole leaks. Label filters of the proper diameter on the
back side near the edge using numbering machine ink. As an
alternative, label the shipping containers (glass, polystyrene or
polyethylene petri dishes), and keep each filter in its identified
container at all times except during sampling.
* * * * *
8.7.6.4 Impinger Water. Treat the impingers as follows: Make a
notation of any color or film in the liquid catch. Measure the
liquid that is in the first three impingers by weighing it to within
0.5 g at a minimum by using a balance. Record the weight of liquid
present. This information is required to calculate the moisture
content of the effluent gas. Discard the liquid after measuring and
recording the weight, unless analysis of the impinger catch is
required (see Note, section 6.1.1.8). If a different type of
condenser is used, measure the amount of moisture condensed
gravimetrically.

8.5 Post-Run System Bias Check and Drift Assessment.
How do I confirm that each sample I collect is valid? After each
run, repeat the system bias check or 2-point system calibration
error check (for dilution systems) to validate the run. Do not make
adjustments to the measurement system (other than to maintain the
target sampling rate or dilution ratio) between the end of the run
and the completion of the post-run system bias or system calibration
error check. Note that for all post-run system bias or 2-point
system calibration error checks, you may inject the low-level gas
first and the upscale gas last, or vice-versa. If conducting a
relative accuracy test or relative accuracy test audit, consisting
of nine runs or more, you may risk sampling for up to three runs
before performing the post-run bias or system calibration error
check provided you pass this test at the conclusion of the group of
three runs. A failed post-run bias or system calibration error check
in this case will invalidate all runs subsequent to the last passed
check. When conducting a performance or compliance test, you must
perform a post-run system bias or system calibration error check
after each individual test run.

8.2 Sample Collection. Before any source sampling is performed,
conduct a system performance check as detailed in section 8.3.1 to
validate the sampling train components and procedures. Although this
test is optional, it would significantly reduce the possibility of
rejecting tests as a result of failing the post-test performance
check. At the completion of the pretest system performance check,
insert the sampling probe into the test port making certain that no
dilution air enters the stack though the port. Condition the entire
system with sample for a minimum of 15 minutes before beginning
analysis. If the sample is diluted, determine the dilution factor as
in section 10.4 of Method 15.

8.1.2 Adjust the probe temperature and the temperature of the
filter and the stopcock (i.e., the heated area in Figure 26-1) to a
temperature sufficient to prevent water condensation. This
temperature must be maintained between 120 and 134 [deg]C (248 and
273 [deg]F). The temperature should be monitored throughout a
sampling run to ensure that the desired temperature is maintained.
It is important to maintain a temperature around the probe and
filter in this range since it is extremely difficult to purge acid
gases off these components. (These components are not quantitatively
recovered and, hence, any collection of acid gases on these
components would result in potential under reporting of these
emissions. The applicable subparts may specify alternative higher
temperatures.)

8.1.5 Sampling Train Operation. Follow the general procedure
given in Method 5, Section 8.5. It is important to maintain a
temperature around the probe, filter (and cyclone, if used) between
120 and 134 [deg]C (248 and 273 [deg]F) since it is extremely
difficult to purge acid gases off these components. (These
components are not quantitatively recovered and hence any collection
of acid gases on these components would result in potential under
reporting these emissions. The applicable subparts may specify
alternative higher temperatures.) For each run, record the data
required on a data sheet such as the one shown in Method 5, Figure
5-3. If the condensate impinger becomes too full, it may be emptied,
recharged with 50 ml of 0.1 N H2SO4, and replaced during the sample
run. The condensate emptied must be saved and included in the
measurement of the volume of moisture collected and
[[Page 63417]]
included in the sample for analysis. The additional 50 ml of
absorbing reagent must also be considered in calculating the
moisture. Before the sampling train integrity is compromised by
removing the impinger, conduct a leak-check as described in Method
5, section 8.4.2.

13.1 Calibration Drift. Since the CERMS includes analyzers for
several measurements, the CD shall be determined separately for each
analyzer in terms of its specific measurement. The calibration for
each analyzer associated with the measurement of flow rate shall not
drift or deviate from each reference value of flow rate by more than
3 percent of the respective high-level reference value over the CD
test period (e.g., seven-day) associated with the pollutant
analyzer. The CD specification for each analyzer for which other PSs
have been established (e.g., PS 2 for SO2 and
NOX), shall be the same as in the applicable PS.
13.2 CERMS Relative Accuracy. Calculate the CERMS Relative
Accuracy using Eq. 2-6 of section 12 of Performance Specification 2.
The RA of the CERMS shall be no greater than 20 percent of the mean
value of the RM's test data in terms of the units of the emission
standard, or in cases where the average emissions for the test are
less than 50 percent of the applicable standard, substitute the
emission standard value in the denominator of Eq. 2-6 in place of
the RM.

7.2 Performance Audit Gas. Performance Audit Gas is an
independent cylinder gas or cylinder gas mixture. A certified EPA
audit gas shall be used, when possible. A gas mixture containing all
the target compounds within the calibration range and certified by
EPA's Traceability Protocol for Assay and Certification of Gaseous
Calibration Standards may be used when EPA performance audit
materials are not available. If a certified EPA audit gas or a
traceability protocol gas is not available, use a gas manufacturer
standard accurate to 2 percent.
* * * * *
8.3 Seven (7)-Day Calibration Error (CE) Test Period. At the
beginning of each 24-hour period, set the initial instrument set
points by conducting a multi-point calibration for each compound.
The multi-point calibration shall meet the requirements in sections
13.1, 13.2, and 13.3. Throughout the 24-hour period, sample and
analyze the stack gas at the sampling intervals prescribed in the
regulation or permit. At the end of the 24-hour period, inject the
calibration gases at three concentrations for each compound in
triplicate and determine the average instrument response. Determine
the CE for each pollutant at each concentration using Equation 9-2.
Each CE shall be <=10 percent. Repeat this procedure six more times
for a total of 7 consecutive days.
8.4 Performance Audit Test Periods. Conduct the performance
audit once during the initial 7-day CE test and quarterly
thereafter. Performance Audit Tests must be conducted through the
entire sampling and analyzer system. Sample and analyze the EPA
audit gas(es) (or the gas mixture) three times. Calculate the
average instrument response. Results from the performance audit test
must meet the requirements in sections 13.3 and 13.4.
* * * * *
10.1 Multi-Point Calibration. After initial startup of the GC,
after routine maintenance or repair, or at least once per month,
conduct a multi-point calibration of the GC for each target analyte.
Calibration is performed at the instrument independent of the sample
transport system. The multi-point calibration for each analyte shall
meet the requirements in sections 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3.
* * * * *
10.2 Daily Calibration. Once every 24 hours, analyze the mid-
level calibration standard for each analyte in triplicate.
Calibration is performed at the instrument independent of the sample
transport system. Calculate the average instrument response for each
analyte. The average instrument response shall not vary by more than
10 percent from the certified concentration value of the cylinder
for each analyte. If the difference between the analyzer response
and the cylinder concentration for any target compound is greater
than 10 percent, immediately inspect the instrument making any
necessary adjustments, and conduct an initial multi-point
calibration as described in section 10.1.
* * * * *
13.1 Calibration Error (CE). The CEMS must allow the
determination of CE at all three calibration levels. The average
CEMS calibration response must not differ by more than 10 percent of
calibration gas value at each level after each 24-hour period and
after any triplicate calibration response check.
13.2 Calibration Precision and Linearity. For each triplicate
injection at each concentration level for each target analyte, any
one injection shall not deviate more than 5 percent from the average
concentration measured at that level. When the CEMS response is
evaluated over three concentration levels, the linear regression
curve for each organic compound shall be determined using Equation
9-1 and must have an r\2\ >=0.995.
* * * * *
13.4 Performance Audit Test Error. Determine the error for each
average
[[Page 63418]]
pollutant measurement using the Equation 9-2 in section 12.3. Each
error shall be less than or equal to 10 percent of the cylinder gas
certified value. Report the audit results including the average
measured concentration, the error and the certified cylinder
concentration of each pollutant as part of the reporting
requirements in the appropriate regulation or permit.

* * * * *
1.1 Applicability. This method is applicable for determination
of most compounds designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency as volatile hazardous air pollutants (HAP's) (See Reference
1) that are contained in paints and coatings. Styrene, ethyl
acrylate, and methyl methacrylate can be measured by ASTM D 4827-03.
Formaldehyde can be measured by ASTM D 5910-05 or ASTM D 1979-91.
Toluene diisocyanate can be measured in urethane prepolymers by ASTM
D 3432-89. Method 311 applies only to those volatile HAP's which are
added to the coating when it is manufactured, not to those that may
form as the coating cures (reaction products or cure volatiles). A
separate or modified test procedure must be used to measure these
reaction products or cure volatiles in order to determine the total
volatile HAP emissions from a coating. Cure volatiles are a
significant component of the total HAP content of some coatings. The
term ``coating'' used in this method shall be understood to mean
paints and coatings.
