                    Subpart G--Reporting Requirements
 
Sec. 75.63  Initial certification or recertification application.

    (a) Submission. The designated representative for an affected unit 
or a combustion source shall submit applications and reports as follows:
    (1) Initial certifications. (i) For CEM systems or excepted 
monitoring systems under appendix D or E to this part, within 45 days 
after completing all initial certification tests, submit:
    (A) To the Administrator, the electronic information required by 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section and a hardcopy certification 
application form (EPA form 7610-14). Except for subpart E applications 
for alternative monitoring systems or unless specifically requested by 
the Administrator, do not submit a hardcopy of the test data and results 
to the Administrator.
    (B) To the applicable EPA Regional Office and the appropriate State 
and/or local air pollution control agency, the hardcopy information 
required by paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
    (ii) For units for which the owner or operator is applying for 
certification approval of the optional excepted methodology under 
Sec. 75.19 for low mass emissions units, submit, no later than 45 days 
prior to commencing use of the methodology:
    (A) To the Administrator, the electronic information required by 
Sec. 75.53(f)(5)(i) and paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, and a 
hardcopy cover letter identifying the submittal as a low mass emissions 
unit certification application; and
    (B) To the applicable EPA Regional Office and appropriate State and/
or local air pollution control agency, the hardcopy information required 
by Sec. 75.19(a)(2) and Sec. 75.53(f)(5)(ii), the hardcopy results of 
any appendix E (of this part) tests or any CEMS data analysis used to 
derive a fuel-and-unit-specific default NOX emission rate.
    (2) Recertifications and diagnostic testing. (i) Within 45 days 
after completing all recertification tests under Sec. 75.20(b), submit 
to the Administrator the electronic information required by paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section and a hardcopy certification application form 
(EPA form 7610-14). Except for subpart E applications for alternative

monitoring systems or unless specifically requested by the 
Administrator, do not submit a hardcopy of the test data and results to 
the Administrator.
    (ii) Within 45 days after completing all recertification tests under 
Sec. 75.20(b), submit the hardcopy information required by paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section to the applicable EPA Regional Office and the 
appropriate State and/or local air pollution control agency. The 
applicable EPA Regional Office or appropriate State or local air 
pollution control agency may waive the requirement to provide hardcopy 
recertification test and data results. The applicable EPA Regional 
Office or the appropriate State or local air pollution control agency 
may also discontinue the waiver and reinstate the requirement of this 
paragraph to provide a hardcopy report of the recertification test data 
and results.
    (iii) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and 
(a)(2)(ii) of this section, for an event for which the Administrator 
determines that only diagnostic tests (see Sec. 75.20(b)) are required 
rather than recertification testing, no hardcopy submittal is required; 
however, the results of all diagnostic test(s) shall be submitted in the 
electronic quarterly report required under Sec. 75.64. For DAHS (missing 
data and formula) verifications, neither a hardcopy nor an electronic 
submittal of any kind is required; the owner or operator shall keep 
these test results on-site in a format suitable for inspection.
    (b) Contents. Each application for initial certification or 
recertification shall contain the following information, as applicable:
    (1) Electronic. (i) A complete, up-to-date version of the electronic 
portion of the monitoring plan, according to Sec. 75.53(e) and (f), in 
the format specified in Sec. 75.62(c).
    (ii) The results of the test(s) required by Sec. 75.20, including 
the type of test conducted, testing date, information required by 
Sec. 75.59, and the results of any failed tests that affect data 
validation.
    (2) Hardcopy. (i) Any changed portions of the hardcopy monitoring 
plan information required under Sec. 75.53(e) and (f). Electronic 
submittal of all monitoring plan information, including the hardcopy 
portions, is permissible, provided that a paper copy can be furnished 
upon request.
    (ii) The results of the test(s) required by Sec. 75.20, including 
the type of test conducted, testing date, information required by 
Sec. 75.59(a)(9), and the results of any failed tests that affect data 
validation.
    (iii) Certification or recertification application form (EPA form 
7610-14).
    (iv) Designated representative signature.
    (c) Format. The electronic portion of each certification or 
recertification application shall be submitted in a format to be 
specified by the Administrator. The hardcopy test results shall be 
submitted in a format suitable for review and shall include the 
information in Sec. 75.59(a)(9).
