             Subpart D--Missing Data Substitution Procedures
 
Sec. 75.33  Standard missing data procedures for SO2, 
NOX and flow rate.

    (a) Following initial certification of the required SO2, 
NOX, and flow rate monitoring system(s) at a particular unit 
or stack location (i.e., the date and time at which quality-assured data 
begins to be recorded by CEMS(s) at that location) and upon completion 
of the first 720 quality-assured monitor operating hours (for 
SO2) or the first 2,160 quality-assured monitor operating 
hours (for flow, NOX emission rate, or NOX 
concentration), the owner or operator shall provide substitute data 
required under this subpart according to the procedures in paragraphs 
(b) and (c) of this section and depicted in Table 1 (SO2) and 
Table 2 of this section (NOX, flow). The owner or operator 
may either implement the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this 
section on a non-fuel-specific basis, or may, as described in paragraphs 
(b)(5), (b)(6), (c)(7) and (c)(8) of this section, provide fuel-specific 
substitute data values. Notwithstanding these requirements, if three 
years (26,280 clock hours) have elapsed since the date and hour of 
initial certification, and fewer than 720 (or 2,160, as applicable) 
quality-assured monitor operating hours have been recorded, the owner or 
operator shall begin using the missing data procedures of this section. 
The owner or operator of a unit shall substitute for missing data using 
quality-assured monitor operating hours of data from no earlier than 
three years (26,280 clock hours) prior to the date and time of the 
missing data period.
    (b) SO2 concentration data. For each hour of missing 
SO2 concentration data,

[[Page 265]]

    (1) Whenever the monitor data availability is equal to or greater 
than 95.0 percent, the owner or operator shall calculate substitute data 
by means of the automated data acquisition and handling system for each 
hour of each missing data period according to the following procedures:
    (i) For a missing data period less than or equal to 24 hours, 
substitute the average of the hourly SO2 concentrations 
recorded by an SO2 pollutant concentration monitor for the 
hour before and the hour after the missing data period.
    (ii) For a missing data period greater than 24 hours, substitute the 
greater of:
    (A) The 90th percentile hourly SO2 concentration recorded 
by an SO2 pollutant concentration monitor during the previous 
720 quality-assured monitor operating hours; or
    (B) The average of the hourly SO2 concentrations recorded 
by an SO2 pollutant concentration monitor for the hour before 
and the hour after the missing data period.
    (2) Whenever the monitor data availability is at least 90.0 percent 
but less than 95.0 percent, the owner or operator shall calculate 
substitute data by means of the automated data acquisition and handling 
system for each hour of each missing data period according to the 
following procedures:
    (i) For a missing data period of less than or equal to 8 hours, 
substitute the average of the hourly SO2 concentrations 
recorded by an SO2 pollutant concentration monitor for the 
hour before and the hour after the missing data period.
    (ii) For a missing data period of more than 8 hours, substitute the 
greater of:
    (A) the 95th percentile hourly SO2 concentration recorded 
by an SO2 pollutant concentration monitor during the previous 
720 quality-assured monitor operating hours; or
    (B) The average of the hourly SO2 concentrations recorded 
by an SO2 pollutant concentration monitor for the hour before 
and the hour after the missing data period.
    (3) Whenever the monitor data availability is at least 80.0 percent 
but less than 90.0 percent, the owner or operator shall substitute for 
each missing data period the maximum hourly SO2 concentration 
recorded by an SO2 pollutant concentration monitor during the 
previous 720 quality-assured monitor operating hours.
    (4) Whenever the monitor data availability is less than 80.0 
percent, the owner or operator shall substitute for each missing data 
period the maximum potential SO2 concentration, as defined in 
section 2.1.1.1 of appendix A to this part.
    (5) For units that combust more than one type of fuel, the owner or 
operator may opt to implement the missing data routines in paragraphs 
(b)(1) through (b)(4) of this section on a fuel-specific basis. If this 
option is selected, the owner or operator shall document this in the 
monitoring plan required under Sec. 75.53.
    (6) Use the following guidelines to implement paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (b)(4) of this section on a fuel-specific basis:
    (i) Separate the historical, quality-assured SO2 
concentration data according to the type of fuel combusted;
    (ii) For units that co-fire different types of fuel, either group 
the co-fired hours with the historical data for the fuel with the 
highest SO2 emission rate (e.g., if diesel oil and pipeline 
natural gas are co-fired, count co-fired hours as oil-burning hours), or 
separate the co-fired hours from the single-fuel hours;
    (iii) For the purposes of providing substitute data under paragraph 
(b)(4) of this section, determine a separate, fuel-specific maximum 
potential SO2 concentration (MPC) value for each type of fuel 
combusted in the unit, in a manner consistent with section 2.1.1.1 of 
appendix A to this part. For fuel that qualifies as pipeline natural gas 
or natural gas (as defined in Sec. 72.2 of this chapter), the owner or 
operator shall, for the purposes of determining the MPC, either 
determine the maximum total sulfur content and minimum gross calorific 
value (GCV) of the gas by fuel sampling and analysis or shall use a 
default total sulfur content of 0.05 percent by weight (dry basis) and a 
default GCV value of 950 Btu/scf. For co-firing, the MPC value shall be 
based on the fuel with the highest SO2 emission rate. The 
exact methodology used to determine each fuel-specific MPC

[[Page 266]]

value shall be documented in the monitoring plan for the unit or stack; 
and
    (iv) For missing data periods that require 720-hour (or, if 
applicable, 3-year) lookbacks, use historical data for the type of fuel 
combusted during each hour of the missing data period to determine the 
appropriate substitute data value for that hour. For co-fired missing 
data hours, if the historical data are separated into single-fuel and 
co-fired hours, use co-fired data to provide the substitute data values. 
Otherwise, use data for the fuel with the highest SO2 
emission rate to provide substitute data values for co-fired missing 
data hours.
    (7) Table 1 summarizes the provisions of paragraphs (b)(1) through 
(b)(6) of this section.
    (c) Volumetric flow rate, NOX emission rate and NOX 
concentration data. Use the procedures in this paragraph to provide 
substitute NOX and flow rate data for all affected units for 
which load-based ranges have been defined in accordance with section 2 
of appendix C to this part. For units that do not produce electrical or 
thermal output (i.e., non-load-based units), use the procedures in this 
paragraph only to provide substitute data for volumetric flow rate, and 
only if operational bins have been defined for the unit, as described in 
section 3 of appendix C to this part. Otherwise, use the applicable 
missing data procedures in paragraph (d) or (e) of this section for non-
load-based units. For each hour of missing volumetric flow rate data, 
NOX emission rate data, or NOX concentration data 
used to determine NOX mass emissions:
    (1) Whenever the monitor data availability is equal to or greater 
than 95.0 percent, the owner or operator shall calculate substitute data 
by means of the automated data acquisition and handling system for each 
hour of each missing data period according to the following procedures:
    (i) For a missing data period less than or equal to 24 hours, 
substitute, as applicable, for each missing hour, the arithmetic average 
of the flow rates or NOX emission rates or NOX 
concentrations recorded by a monitoring system during the previous 2,160 
quality-assured monitor operating hours at the corresponding unit load 
range or operational bin, as determined using the procedure in appendix 
C to this part.
    (ii) For a missing data period greater than 24 hours, substitute, as 
applicable, for each missing hour, the greater of:
    (A) The 90th percentile hourly flow rate or the 90th percentile 
NOX emission rate or the 90th percentile NOX 
concentration recorded by a monitoring system during the previous 2,160 
quality-assured monitor operating hours at the corresponding unit load 
range or operational bin, as determined using the procedure in appendix 
C to this part; or
    (B) The average of the recorded hourly flow rates, NOX 
emission rates or NOX concentrations recorded by a monitoring 
system for the hour before and the hour after the missing data period.
    (2) Whenever the monitor data availability is at least 90.0 percent 
but less than 95.0 percent, the owner or operator shall calculate 
substitute data by means of the automated data acquisition and handling 
system for each hour of each missing data period according to the 
following procedures:
    (i) For a missing data period of less than or equal to 8 hours, 
substitute, as applicable, the arithmetic average hourly flow rate or 
NOX emission rate or NOX concentration recorded by 
a monitoring system during the previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor 
operating hours at the corresponding unit load range or operational bin, 
as determined using the procedure in appendix C to this part.
    (ii) For a missing data period greater than 8 hours, substitute, as 
applicable, for each missing hour, the greater of:
    (A) The 95th percentile hourly flow rate or the 95th percentile 
NOX emission rate or the 95th percentile NOX 
concentration recorded by a monitoring system during the previous 2,160 
quality-assured monitor operating hours at the corresponding unit load 
range or operational bin, as determined using the procedure in appendix 
C to this part; or
    (B) The average of the hourly flow rates, NOX emission 
rates or NOX concentrations recorded by a monitoring system 
for the hour before and the hour after the missing data period.
    (3) Whenever the monitor data availability is at least 80.0 percent 
but less

[[Page 267]]

than 90.0 percent, the owner or operator shall, by means of the 
automated data acquisition and handling system, substitute, as 
applicable, for each hour of each missing data period, the maximum 
hourly flow rate or the maximum hourly NOX emission rate or 
the maximum hourly NOX concentration recorded during the 
previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor operating hours at the 
corresponding unit load range or operational bin, as determined using 
the procedure in appendix C to this part.
    (4) Whenever the monitor data availability is less than 80.0 
percent, the owner or operator shall substitute, as applicable, for each 
hour of each missing data period, the maximum potential flow rate, as 
defined in section 2.1.4.1 of appendix A to this part, or the maximum 
NOX emission rate, as defined in section 2.1.2.1 of appendix 
A to this part, or the maximum potential NOX concentration, 
as defined in section 2.1.2.1 of appendix A to this part. In addition, 
when non-load-based operational bins are used, the owner or operator 
shall substitute the maximum potential flow rate for any hour in the 
missing data period in which essential operating or parametric data are 
unavailable and the operational bin cannot be determined.
    (5) This paragraph, (c)(5), does not apply to non-load-based, 
affected units using operational bins. Whenever no prior quality-assured 
flow rate data, NOX concentration data or NOX 
emission rate data exist for the corresponding load range, the owner or 
operator shall substitute, as applicable, for each hour of missing data, 
the maximum hourly flow rate or the maximum hourly NOX 
concentration or maximum hourly NOX emission rate at the next 
higher level load range for which quality-assured data are available.
    (6) Whenever no prior quality-assured flow rate data, NOX 
concentration data or NOX emission rate data exist at either 
the corresponding load range (or a higher load range) or at the 
corresponding operational bin, the owner or operator shall substitute, 
as applicable, either the maximum potential NOX emission rate 
or the maximum potential NOX concentration, as defined in 
section 2.1.2.1 of appendix A to this part or the maximum potential flow 
rate, as defined in section 2.1.4.1 of appendix A to this part.
    (7) This paragraph (c)(7) does not apply to affected units using 
non-load-based operational bins. For units that combust more than one 
type of fuel, the owner or operator may opt to implement the missing 
data routines in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this section on a 
fuel-specific basis. If this option is selected, the owner or operator 
shall document this in the monitoring plan required under Sec. 75.53.
    (8) This paragraph, (c)(8), does not apply to affected units using 
non-load-based operational bins. Use the following guidelines to 
implement paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this section on a fuel-
specific basis:
    (i) Separate the historical, quality-assured NOX emission 
rate, NOX concentration, or flow rate data according to the 
type of fuel combusted;
    (ii) For units that co-fire different types of fuel, either group 
the co-fired hours with the historical data for the fuel with the 
highest NOX emission rate, NOX concentration or 
flow rate, or separate the co-fired hours from the single-fuel hours;
    (iii) For the purposes of providing substitute data under paragraph 
(c)(4) of this section, a separate, fuel-specific maximum potential 
concentration (MPC), maximum potential NOX emission rate 
(MER), or maximum potential flow rate (MPF) value (as applicable) shall 
be determined for each type of fuel combusted in the unit, in a manner 
consistent with Sec. 72.2 of this chapter and with section 2.1.2.1 or 
2.1.4.1 of appendix A to this part. For co-firing, the MPC, MER or MPF 
value shall be based on the fuel with the highest emission rate or flow 
rate (as applicable). The exact methodology used to determine each fuel-
specific MPC, MER or MPF value shall be documented in the monitoring 
plan for the unit or stack.
    (iv) For missing data periods that require 2,160-hour (or, if 
applicable, 3-year) lookbacks, use historical data for the type of fuel 
combusted during each hour of the missing data period to determine the 
appropriate substitute data value for that hour. For co-fired

[[Page 268]]

missing data hours, if the historical data are separated into single-
fuel and co-fired hours, use co-fired data to provide the substitute 
data values. Otherwise, use data for the fuel with the highest 
NOX emission rate, NOX concentration or flow rate 
(as applicable) to provide substitute data values for co-fired missing 
data hours. Tables 1 and 2 follow.

\1\ Where a unit with add-on NOX emission controls can demonstrate that the controls are operating properly, as
  provided in Sec.  75.34, the unit may, upon approval, use the maximum controlled emission rate from the
  previous 720 operating hours. Alternatively, units with add-on controls that report NOX mass emissions on a
  year-round basis under subpart H of this part may use separate ozone season and non-ozone season databases to
  provide substitute data values, as described in Sec.  75.34(a)(2).
\2\ During unit operating hours.

    (9) The load-based provisions of paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(8) of 
this section are summarized in Table 2 of this section. The non-load-
based provisions for volumetric flow rate, found in paragraphs (c)(1) 
through (c)(4), and (c)(6) of this section, are presented in Table 4 of 
this section.
    (d) Non-load-based NO X emission rate and NOX 
concentration data. Use the procedures in this paragraph to provide 
substitute NOX data for affected units that do not produce 
electrical output (in megawatts) or thermal output (in klb/hr of steam). 
For each hour of missing NOX emission rate data, or 
NOX concentration data used to determine NOX mass 
emissions:
    (1) Whenever the monitor data availability is equal to or greater 
than 95.0 percent, the owner or operator shall calculate substitute data 
by means of the automated data acquisition and handling system for each 
hour of each missing data period according to the following procedures:
    (i) For a missing data period less than or equal to 24 hours, 
substitute, as applicable, for each missing hour, the arithmetic average 
of the NOX emission rates or NOX concentrations 
recorded by a monitoring system in a 2,160 hour lookback period. The 
lookback period may be comprised of either:
    (A) The previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor operating hours, or
    (B) The previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor operating hours at 
the corresponding operational bin, if operational bins, as defined in 
section 3 of appendix C to this part, are used.
    (ii) For a missing data period greater than 24 hours, substitute, 
for each missing hour, the 90th percentile NOX emission rate 
or the 90th percentile NOX concentration recorded by a 
monitoring system during the previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor 
operating hours (or during the previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor 
operating hours at the corresponding operational bin, if operational 
bins are used).
    (2) Whenever the monitor data availability is at least 90.0 percent 
but less than 95.0 percent, the owner or operator shall calculate 
substitute data by means of the automated data acquisition and handling 
system for each hour of each missing data period according to the 
following procedures:
    (i) For a missing data period of less than or equal to eight hours, 
substitute, as applicable, the arithmetic average of the hourly 
NOX emission rates or NOX concentrations recorded 
by a monitoring system during the previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor 
operating hours (or during the previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor 
operating hours at the corresponding operational bin, if operational 
bins are used).
    (ii) For a missing data period greater than eight hours, substitute, 
for each missing hour, the 95th percentile hourly flow rate or the 95th 
percentile NOX emission rate or the 95th percentile 
NOX concentration recorded by a monitoring system during the 
previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor operating hours (or during the 
previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor operating hours at the 
corresponding operational bin, if operational bins are used).
    (3) Whenever the monitor data availability is at least 80.0 percent 
but less than 90.0 percent, the owner or operator shall, by means of the 
automated data acquisition and handling system, substitute, as 
applicable, for each hour of each missing data period, the maximum 
hourly NOX emission rate or the maximum hourly NOX 
concentration recorded during the previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor 
operating hours (or during the previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor 
operating hours at the corresponding operational bin, if operational 
bins are used).
    (4) Whenever the monitor data availability is less than 80.0 
percent, the owner or operator shall substitute, as applicable, for each 
hour of each missing data period, the maximum NOX emission 
rate, as defined in Sec. 72.2 of this chapter, or the maximum potential

[[Page 270]]

NOX concentration, as defined in section 2.1.2.1 of appendix 
A to this part. In addition, when operational bins are used, the owner 
or operator shall substitute (as applicable) the maximum potential 
NOX emission rate or the maximum potential NOX 
concentration for any hour in the missing data period in which essential 
operating or parametric data are unavailable and the operational bin 
cannot be determined.
    (5) If operational bins are used and no prior quality-assured 
NOX concentration data or NOX emission rate data 
exist for the corresponding operational bin, the owner or operator shall 
substitute, as applicable, either the maximum potential NOX 
emission rate, as defined in Sec. 72.2 of this chapter, or the maximum 
potential NOX concentration, as defined in section 2.1.2.1 of 
appendix A to this part.
    (6) Table 3 of this section summarizes the provisions of paragraphs 
(d)(1) through (d)(5) of this section.
    (e) Non-load-based volumetric flow rate data. (1) If operational 
bins, as defined in section 3 of appendix C to this part, are used for a 
unit that does not produce electrical or thermal output, use the missing 
data procedures in paragraph (c) of this section to provide substitute 
volumetric flow rate data for the unit.
    (2) If operational bins are not used, modify the procedures in 
paragraph (c) of this section as follows:
    (i) In paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(3), the words ``previous 2,160 
quality-assured monitor operating hours'' shall apply rather than 
``previous 2,160 quality-assured monitor operating hours at the 
corresponding unit load range or operational bin, as determined using 
the procedure in appendix C to this part;''
    (ii) The last sentence in paragraph (c)(4) does not apply;
    (iii) Paragraphs (c)(5), (c)(7), and (c)(8) are not applicable; and
    (iv) In paragraph (c)(6), the words, ``for either the corresponding 
load range (or a higher load range) or at the corresponding operational 
bin'' do not apply.
    (3) Table 4 of this section summarizes the provisions of paragraphs 
(e)(1) and (e)(2) of this section. Tables 3 and 4 follow:
