TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
PART 75--CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORING--Table of Contents
Subpart G--Reporting Requirements
Sec. 75.64 Quarterly reports.
(a) Electronic submission. The designated representative for an
affected unit shall electronically report the data and information in
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section to the Administrator
quarterly, beginning with the data from the earlier of the calendar
quarter corresponding to the date of provisional certification; or the
calendar quarter corresponding to the relevant deadline for initial
certification in Sec. 75.4(a), (b), or (c). The initial quarterly report
shall contain hourly data beginning with the hour of provisional
certification or the hour corresponding to the relevant certification
deadline, whichever is earlier. For an affected unit subject to
Sec. 75.4(d) that is shutdown on the relevant compliance date in
Sec. 75.4(a) or has been placed in long-term cold storage, the owner or
operator shall submit quarterly reports for the unit beginning with the
data from the quarter in which the unit recommences commercial operation
(where the initial quarterly report contains hourly data beginning with
the first hour of recommenced commercial operation of the unit). For any
provisionally-certified monitoring system, Sec. 75.20(a)(3) shall apply
for initial certifications, and
[[Page 313]]
Sec. 75.20(b)(5) shall apply for recertifications. Each electronic
report must be submitted to the Administrator within 30 days following
the end of each calendar quarter. Each electronic report shall include
the date of report generation for the information provided in paragraphs
(a)(2) through (a)(11) of this section, and shall also include for each
affected unit (or group of units using a common stack):
(1) Facility information:
(i) Identification, including:
(A) Facility/ORISPL number;
(B) Calendar quarter and year for the data contained in the report;
and
(C) Version of the electronic data reporting format used for the
report.
(ii) Location, including:
(A) Plant name and facility ID;
(B) EPA AIRS facility system ID;
(C) State facility ID;
(D) Source category/type;
(E) Primary SIC code;
(F) State postal abbreviation;
(G) County code; and
(H) Latitude and longitude.
(2) The information and hourly data required in Sec. 75.53 and
Secs. 75.57 through 75.59, excluding the following:
(i) Descriptions of adjustments, corrective action, and maintenance;
(ii) Information which is incompatible with electronic reporting
(e.g., field data sheets, lab analyses, quality control plan);
(iii) Opacity data listed in or Sec. 75.57(f), and in
Sec. 75.59(a)(8);
(iv) For units with SO2 or NOX add-on emission
controls that do not elect to use the approved site-specific parametric
monitoring procedures for calculation of substitute data, the
information in Sec. 75.58(b)(3);
(v) [Reserved]
(vi) Information required by Sec. 75.57(h) concerning the causes of
any missing data periods and the actions taken to cure such causes;
(vii) Hardcopy monitoring plan information required by Sec. 75.53
and hardcopy test data and results required by Sec. 75.59;
(viii) Records of flow monitor and moisture monitoring system
polynomial equations, coefficients, or ``K'' factors required by
Sec. 75.59(a)(5)(vi) or Sec. 75.59(a)(5)(vii);
(ix) Daily fuel sampling information required by Sec. 75.58(c)(3)(i)
for units using assumed values under appendix D;
(x) Information required by Secs. 75.59(b)(1)(vi), (vii), (viii),
(ix), and (xiii), and (b)(2)(iii) and (iv) concerning fuel flowmeter
accuracy tests and transmitter/transducer accuracy tests;
(xi) Stratification test results required as part of the RATA
supplementary records under Sec. 75.59(a)(7);
(xii) Data and results of RATAs that are aborted or invalidated due
to problems with the reference method or operational problems with the
unit and data and results of linearity checks that are aborted or
invalidated due to problems unrelated to monitor performance; and
(xiv) Supplementary RATA information required under
Sec. 75.59(a)(7)(i) through Sec. 75.59(a)(7)(v), except that: the data
under Sec. 75.59(a)(7)(ii)(A) through (T) and the data under
Sec. 75.59(a)(7)(iii)(A) through (M) shall, as applicable, be reported
for flow RATAs in which angular compensation (measurement of pitch and/
or yaw angles) is used and for flow RATAs in which a site-specific wall
effects adjustment factor is determined by direct measurement; and the
data under Sec. 75.59(a)(7)(ii)(T) shall be reported for all flow RATAs
in which a default wall effects adjustment factor is applied.
(3) Tons (rounded to the nearest tenth) of SO2 emitted
during the quarter and cumulative SO2 emissions for the
calendar year.
(4) Average NOX emission rate (lb/mmBtu, rounded to the
nearest thousandth ) during the quarter and cumulative NOX
emission rate for the calendar year.
(5) Tons of CO2 emitted during quarter and cumulative
CO2 emissions for calendar year.
(6) Total heat input (mmBtu) for quarter and cumulative heat input
for calendar year.
(7) Unit or stack or common pipe header operating hours for quarter
and cumulative unit or stack or common pipe header operating hours for
calendar year.
(8) [Reserved]
(9) For low mass emissions units for which the owner or operator is
using the optional low mass emissions methodology in Sec. 75.19(c) to
calculate NOX
[[Page 314]]
mass emissions, the designated representative must also report tons
(rounded to the nearest tenth) of NOX emitted during the
quarter and cumulative NOX mass emissions for the calendar
year.
(10) For low mass emissions units using the optional long term fuel
flow methodology under Sec. 75.19(c), for each quarter report the long
term fuel flow for each fuel according to Sec. 75.59.
(11) For units using the optional fuel flow to load procedure in
section 2.1.7 of appendix D to this part, report both the fuel flow-to-
load baseline data and the results of the fuel flow-to-load test each
quarter.
(b) The designated representative shall affirm that the component/
system identification codes and formulas in the quarterly electronic
reports, submitted to the Administrator pursuant to Sec. 75.53,
represent current operating conditions.
(c) Compliance certification. The designated representative shall
submit a certification in support of each quarterly emissions monitoring
report based on reasonable inquiry of those persons with primary
responsibility for ensuring that all of the unit's emissions are
correctly and fully monitored. The certification shall indicate whether
the monitoring data submitted were recorded in accordance with the
applicable requirements of this part including the quality control and
quality assurance procedures and specifications of this part and its
appendices, and any such requirements, procedures and specifications of
an applicable excepted or approved alternative monitoring method. For a
unit with add-on emission controls, the designated representative shall
also include a certification, for all hours where data are substituted
following the provisions of Sec. 75.34(a)(1), that the add-on emission
