Sec. 76.14  Monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting.

    (a) A petition for an alternative emission limitation demonstration 
period under Sec. 76.10(d) shall include the following information:
    (1) In accordance with Sec. 76.10(d)(4), the following information:
    (i) Documentation that the owner or operator solicited bids for a 
NOX emission control system designed for application to the 
specific boiler and designed to achieve the applicable emission 
limitation in Sec. 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7 on

[[Page 457]]

an annual average basis. This documentation must include a copy of all 
bid specifications.
    (ii) A copy of the performance guarantee submitted by the vendor of 
the installed NOX emission control system to the owner or 
operator showing that such system was designed to meet the applicable 
emission limitation in Sec. 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7 on an annual average 
basis.
    (iii) Documentation describing the operational and combustion 
conditions that are the basis of the performance guarantee.
    (iv) Certification by the primary vendor of the NOX 
emission control system that such equipment and associated auxiliary 
equipment was properly installed according to the modifications and 
procedures specified by the vendor.
    (v) Certification by the designated representative that the owner(s) 
or operator installed technology that meets the requirements of 
Sec. 76.10(a)(2).
    (2) In accordance with Sec. 76.10(d)(9), the following information:
    (i) The operating conditions of the NOX emission control 
system including load range, O2 range, coal volatile matter 
range, and, for tangentially fired boilers, distribution of combustion 
air within the NOX emission control system;
    (ii) Certification by the designated representative that the 
owner(s) or operator have achieved and are following the operating 
conditions, boiler modifications, and upgrades that formed the basis for 
the system design and performance guarantee;
    (iii) Any planned equipment modifications and upgrades for the 
purpose of achieving the maximum NOX reduction performance of 
the NOX emission control system that were not included in the 
design specifications and performance guarantee, but that were achieved 
prior to submission of this application and are being followed;
    (iv) A list of any modifications or replacements of equipment that 
are to be done prior to the completion of the demonstration period for 
the purpose of reducing emissions of NOX; and
    (v) The parametric testing that will be conducted to determine the 
reason or reasons for the failure of the unit to achieve the applicable 
emission limitation and to verify the proper operation of the installed 
NOX emission control system during the demonstration period. 
The tests shall include tests in Sec. 76.15, which may be modified as 
follows:
    (A) The owner or operator of the unit may add tests to those listed 
in Sec. 76.15, if such additions provide data relevant to the failure of 
the installed NOX emission control system to meet the 
applicable emissions limitation in Sec. 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7; or
    (B) The owner or operator of the unit may remove tests listed in 
Sec. 76.15 that are shown, to the satisfaction of the permitting 
authority, not to be relevant to NOX emissions from the 
affected unit; and
    (C) In the event the performance guarantee or the NOX 
emission control system specifications require additional tests not 
listed in Sec. 76.15, or specify operating conditions not verified by 
tests listed in Sec. 76.15, the owner or operator of the unit shall 
include such additional tests.
    (3) In accordance with Sec. 76.10(d)(10), the following information 
for the operating period:
    (i) The average NOX emission rate (in lb/mmBtu) of the 
specific unit;
    (ii) The highest hourly NOX emission rate (in lb/mmBtu) 
of the specific unit;
    (iii) Hourly NOX emission rate (in lb/mmBtu), calculated 
in accordance with part 75 of this chapter;
    (iv) Total heat input (in mmBtu) for the unit for each hour of 
operation, calculated in accordance with the requirements of part 75 of 
this chapter; and
    (v) Total integrated hourly gross unit load (in MWge).
    (b) A petition for an alternative emission limitation shall include 
the following information in accordance with Sec. 76.10(e)(6).
    (1) Total heat input (in mmBtu) for the unit for each hour of 
operation, calculated in accordance with the requirements of part 75 of 
this chapter;
    (2) Hourly NOX emission rate (in lb/mmBtu), calculated in 
accordance with the requirements of part 75 of this chapter; and
    (3) Total integrated hourly gross unit load (MWge).
    (c) Reporting of the costs of low NOX burner technology 
applied to Group 1,

[[Page 458]]

Phase I boilers. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section, the designated representative of a Phase I unit with a Group 1 
boiler that has installed or is installing any form of low 
NOX burner technology shall submit to the Administrator a 
report containing the capital cost, operating cost, and baseline and 
post-retrofit emission data specified in appendix B to this part. If any 
of the required equipment, cost, and schedule information are not 
available (e.g., the retrofit project is still underway), the designated 
representative shall include in the report detailed cost estimates and 
other projected or estimated data in lieu of the information that is not 
available.
    (2) The report under paragraph (c)(1) of this section is not 
required with regard to the following types of Group 1, Phase I units:
    (i) Units employing no new NOX emission control system 
after November 15, 1990;
    (ii) Units employing modifications to boiler operating parameters 
(e.g., burners out of service or fuel switching) without low 
NOX burners or other emission reduction equipment for 
reducing NOX emissions;
    (iii) Units with wall-fired boilers employing only overfire air and 
units with tangentially fired boilers employing only separated overfire 
air; or
    (iv) Units beginning installation of a new NOX emission 
control system after August 11, 1995.
    (3) The report under paragraph (c)(1) of this section shall be 
submitted to the Administrator by:
    (i) 120 days after completion of the low NOX burner 
technology retrofit project; or
    (ii) May 23, 1995, if the project was completed on or before January 
23, 1995.
