II. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
The proposed amendments apply to
industries that are subject to the current
provisions of 40 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?
This action proposes corrections and
revisions to source test methods,
performance specifications (PS), and
associated regulations. The corrections
and revisions consist primarily of
typographical errors, updates to testing
procedures, and the addition of
alternative equipment and methods the
Agency has deemed acceptable to use.
III. Background
The EPA catalogs errors and
corrections, as well as necessary
revisions to test methods, performance
specifications, and associated
regulations in 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61,
and 63 and periodically updates and
revises these provisions. The most
recent updates and revisions were
promulgated on November 14, 2018 (83
FR 56713). This proposed rule addresses
necessary corrections and revisions
identified subsequent to that final
action, many of which were brought to
our attention by regulated sources and
end-users, such as environmental
consultants and compliance
professionals. These revisions will
improve the quality of data obtained
and give source testers the flexibility to
use newly-approved alternative
procedures.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
The EPA proposes to incorporate by
reference one ASTM International
standard. Specifically, the EPA proposes
to incorporate ASTM D 2369–10, which
covers volatile organic content of
coatings, in Method 24. This standard
was developed and adopted by ASTM
International and may be obtained from
https://www.astm.org or from the ASTM
at 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700,
West Conshohocken, PA 19428–2959.
The EPA proposes to incorporate by
reference SW–846 Method 6010D and
SW–846 Method 6020B in Method 12.
Method 6010D covers inductively
E:\FR\FM\13DEP1.SGM
13DEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2019 / Proposed Rules
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, DC 20460.
The EPA proposes to incorporate by
reference Gas Processors Association
(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 proposes to incorporate 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.
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 are proposed.
The EPA proposes to update the
ASTM standards referenced in Method
311, but these standards are not
incorporated by reference. The EPA is
not proposing to update the ASTM
standards referenced in Performance
Standard 18, which are not incorporated
by reference.

V. Summary of Proposed Amendments
The following amendments are being
proposed.
A. Method 201A of Appendix M of Part
51
In Method 201A, section 1.2, the
erroneous gas filtration temperature
limit of 30 °C would be revised to
29.4 °C. In section 1.6, the erroneous
word ‘‘recommended’’ would be
corrected to ‘‘required.’’ Section 6.2.1(d)
would be 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 °C
would be revised to ±28 °C. In section
17.0, the erroneous caption for Figure 7
would be corrected from ‘‘Minimum
Number of Traverse Points for
Preliminary Method 4 Traverse’’ to
‘‘Maximum Number of Required
Traverse Points,’’ and the erroneous yaxis label would be corrected from
‘‘Minimum Number of Traverse Points’’
to ‘‘Maximum Number of Traverse
Points.’’
B. General Provisions (Subpart A) of
Part 60
In the General Provisions of part 60,
§ 60.17(h) would be revised to add
ASTM D2369–10 to the list of
incorporations by reference and to renumber the remaining consensus
standards that are incorporated by
reference in alpha-numeric order.
In part 60, § 60.17(j) would be 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 alphanumeric order.
In part 60, § 60.17(k) would be 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 alphanumeric order.
In part 60, § 60.17(l) would be 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 § 60.534(h), the language would be
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, so we
are proposing language to clarify 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 § 60.766(a)(3), the text for
calibration of temperature measurement
would be revised to provide clarity and
improve the consistency of
implementation.
E. Standards of Performance for
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units (Subpart CCCC) of
Part 60
Subpart CCCC of part 60 would be
revised to clarify that (1) initial and
annual performance testing for
particulate matter (PM) for wasteburning 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
§§ 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. Tables 6 and 7, however,
presently specify PM CPMS as the
performance test method for
determining compliance.
Paragraphs 60.2110(i)(1) and
60.2145(j) would be 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) would be
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)
would also be revised to add PM to the
list of pollutants for which performance
tests are conducted annually. Paragraph
(p) would be added to § 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 would be 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
two-month testing range can present
operational and testing challenges for
facilities that have multiple commercial
and industrial solid waste incineration
(CISWI) units, and this revision would
be consistent with other rules, such as
the National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants from
Hazardous Waste Combustors, to which
CISWI units may be subject.
Table 6 (Emission Limitations for
Energy Recovery Units) and Table 7
(Emission Limitations for WasteBurning Kilns) would be revised to
clarify the performance test method for
PM. The fourth column of the
‘‘Particulate matter (filterable)’’ row of
Table 6 would be 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 would
be 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 would be changed from a 30day rolling average to specify a 3-run
average with a minimum sample
volume of 2 dry standard cubic meter
(dscm) per run.
F. Emission Guidelines and Compliance
Times for Commercial and Industrial
Solid Waste Incineration Units (Subpart
DDDD) of Part 60
Subpart DDDD of part 60 would be
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
§§ 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
and for purposes of ongoing continuous
demonstration of compliance, data from
the compliant performance test is in
turn used to set an operating limit for
the PM CPMS. Tables 7 and 8, however,
presently specify PM CPMS as the
performance test method for
determining compliance.
Paragraphs 60.2675(i)(1) and
60.2710(j) would be revised to clarify
that the PM CPMS is used for
continuing compliance demonstration
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
with the PM emission limit. Paragraph
60.2710(j) would be also revised to
clarify that PM performance tests are
conducted annually and
§§ 60.2675(i)(1)(iii) and (i)(2) would be
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 would be
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 §§ 60.2710(y)(3)
and 60.2715. The current two-month
testing range can present operational
and testing challenges for facilities that
have multiple CISWI units, and this
revision would be consistent with other
rules, such as the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
from Hazardous Waste Combustors, to
which CISWI units may be subject.
Table 7 (Emission Limitations for
Energy Recovery Units) and Table 8
(Emission Limitations That Apply to
Waste-Burning Kilns) would be revised
to clarify the performance test method
for PM. The fourth column of the
‘‘Particulate matter filterable’’ row of
Table 7 would be 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 would
be revised to specify Methods 5 and 29
as alternatives for measuring PM to

emission limit. The third column of the
‘‘Particulate matter filterable’’ row of
Table 8 would be 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 would
be 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.
H. Standards of Performance for
Stationary Combustion Turbines
(Subpart KKKK) of Part 60
In 2006, 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,
including natural gas, also made
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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 currently written, the initial and
subsequent performance tests required
in § 60.4415 may be satisfied by fuel
analyses performed by the facility, a
contractor, the fuel vendor, or any other
qualified agency as described in
§ 60.4415(a)(1). However, the fuel
sample must be collected using ASTM
D5287 (Standard Practice for Automatic
Sampling of Gaseous Fuels). This
method is not typically used by owner/
operators of natural gas pipelines and,
as a result, tariff sheets cannot be used
without approval of the alternate
method. This is creating a situation
where the owner/operators of the
combustion turbines must do their own
sampling and testing, a burden that was
not intended in the original rulemaking.
To align the rule requirements with
the original intent of subpart KKKK, the
EPA is proposing to include additional
sampling methods in order for tariff
sheets to be used to satisfy the SO2
performance testing requirements.
Specifically, § 60.4415(a)(1) would be
amended to include GPA 2166 and ISO
10715 for manual sampling of gaseous
fuels. In addition, manual sampling
method GPA 2174 would be added for
liquid fuels. The EPA is soliciting
comment regarding whether additional
sampling methods should also be
included and whether additional test
methods should be included in
§§ 60.4360 and 60.4415. Specifically, for
sampling, EPA is soliciting comment on
including 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, 7th Edition, August 2017. For
determining the sulfur content of liquid
fuels, EPA is soliciting comment on
adding ASTM D5623–94 (2014)
(Standard Test Method for Sulfur
Compounds in Light Petroleum Liquids
by Gas Chromatography and Sulfur
Selective Detection) and ASTM D7039–
15a (Standard Test Method for Sulfur in
Gasoline and Diesel Fuel by
Monochromatic Wavelength Dispersive
X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry). For
determining the sulfur content of
gaseous fuels, EPA is soliciting
comment on adding GPA D2140–17
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas Specifications
E:\FR\FM\13DEP1.SGM
13DEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2019 / Proposed Rules
and Test Methods) and GPA 2261–19
(Analysis for Natural Gas and Similar
Gaseous Mixtures by Gas
Chromatography).
These amendments would also be
consistent with the burden reduction
proposed by the EPA in 2012 (77 FR
52554, August 29, 2012). In that
proposal, the EPA proposed
amendments to subpart KKKK that
would eliminate the SO2 emissions limit
for owner/operators of combustion
turbines burning natural gas and/or low
sulfur distillate and add additional
sampling and test methods for owners/
operators of combustion turbines
burning other fuels. (The EPA has not
taken final action on that proposal.)
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 § 60.5476(i), the
language would be 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 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, so we
are proposing language to clarify these
communications and their reporting.

Also, the option for volumetric
determination of the liquid content
would be 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 would occur in
various sections (2.1, 6.1.5, 11.1, 11.2,

K. Method 5 of Appendix A–3 of Part 60
In Method 5, sections 6.2.4 and 8.1.2
would be 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 would also be revised to
standardize the constants between
Methods 4 and 5, and more significant
digits would be added to constants to
remove rounding and truncation errors.
Also, the option for volumetric
determination of the liquid content
would be 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 would occur in
various sections (6.1.1.8, 6.2.5, 8.7.6.4,
12.1, 12.3, 12.4, 12.11.1, 12.11.2,

In Method 7C, in section 7.2.11, the
erroneous chemical compound, sodium
sulfite would be corrected to sodium
nitrite.
M. Method 7E of Appendix A–4 of Part
60
In Method 7E, section 8.5 would be
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.
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 would be revised to
remove references regarding the use of
silicone grease, which is no longer
allowed when conducting Method 5,
and section 12.3 would be revised to
correctly refer to the title of section 12.4
of Method 5.
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; the
PO 00000
Frm 00014

proposed revisions to section 16.1
would provide testers with the
necessary procedures to execute the 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 would be revised to
specify appropriate EPA analytical
methods, as well as supporting quality
assurance procedures, as part of the
allowed alternatives to use 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. In regard to the
options to use ICP–AES and ICP–MS for
analysis of lead, sections 16.4 and 16.5
currently do not include any specifics
for applying these candidate analytical
techniques, nor any procedures for
assessing data quality. The proposed
revisions would 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) would be
removed since CVAFS for lead is not
generally available, and there is no
existing EPA method for conducting it.
O. Method 16B of Appendix A–6 of Part
60
In Method 16B, in section 2.1, the
erroneous phrase ‘‘an integrated gas
sample’’ would be corrected to ‘‘a gas
sample.’’ In sections 6.1 and 8.2, the
reference to section 8.4.1 would be
changed to 8.3.1 since section 8.4.1
would be 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.’’ would be
moved to section 11.1 to be consistent
with EPA test method formatting.
Sections 8.4, 8.4.1, and 8.4.2 would be
renumbered to 8.3, 8.3.1, and 8.3.2,
respectively since the text in section 8.3
would be moved to section 11.1. In
section 11.1, the sentence ‘‘Sample
collection and analysis are concurrent
for this method (see section 8.3).’’
would be deleted. Section 11.2 would
be added so that a uniform set of
analysis results would be obtained over
the test period.

We are proposing to change the
correction of non-methane organic
compounds (NMOC) within the method.
Currently, we require the NMOC to be
corrected by nitrogen or oxygen content.
The correction is done by nitrogen
unless the nitrogen content exceeds a
threshold of 20 percent. When the
nitrogen threshold is above 20 percent,
the correction is done by oxygen. We are
considering multiple options for
revisions, which are outlined in greater
detail in docket ID EPA–HQ–OAR–
2018–0815, based on data provided by
industry also provided in docket ID
EPA–HQ–OAR–2018–0815. The
revisions to the correction that we are
considering 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 have
provided amendatory text for each
option in docket ID EPA–HQ–OAR–
2018–0815.

the sentence ‘‘For Method 16B, you
must analyze a minimum of three
aliquots spaced evenly over the test

consistency with the number of aliquots
analyzed in Method 16B, which may be
used as the reference method.
W. Performance Specification 6 of
Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 6,
section 13.1 would be 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).
Section 13.2 would be revised for clarity
and to be consistent with the
requirements in Performance
Specification 2.
X. Performance Specification 8 of
Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 8, a new
section 8.3 would be added to require
that an instrument drift check be

respectively.
Y. Performance Specification 9 of
Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 9, the
quality control and performance audit
sections would be clarified. In section

mixture certified by the supplier to be
accurate to two percent of the tagged
value supplied with the cylinder would
be added.
In section 8.3, an incorrect reference
concerning quality control requirements
that pertain to the 7-day drift test would
be clarified and corrected, and an
incorrect reference to the error
calculation equation would be
corrected. In section 8.4, a requirement
to ensure that performance audit
samples challenge the entire sampling
system including the sample transport
lines would be added, and quality
control requirements that must be met

for performance audit tests would be
specified by adding references to
sections 13.3 and 13.4.
In section 10.1, the erroneous word
‘‘initial’’ would be deleted from the title,
‘‘Initial Multi-Point Calibration,’’ and
the quality control requirements that
must be met for multi-point calibrations
would be specified by referencing
sections 13.1 and 13.2 in addition to
13.3. Sections 10.1 and 10.2 would be
clarified such that calibrations may be
performed at the instrument rather than
through the entire sampling system.
In section 13.1, language would be
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 would
be 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
would be added to describe the quality
control requirements for the initial and
periodic performance audit test sample.
Z. Performance Specification 18 of

is specific to Portland cement plants,
and it is already specified in the
applicable regulations.

In the General Provisions of part 63,
in § 63.2, the definition of alternative
test method would be revised to exclude
‘‘that is not a test method in this chapter

DD. Portland Cement Manufacturing
(Subpart LLL) of Part 63
In subpart LLL, the units of measure
in Equations 12, 13, 17, 18, and 19
would be revised to add clarity and
consistency. Equations 12 and 13 need
to be corrected so that the operating
limit units of measure 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
illustrated 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 would be
updated to reflect this. The variables in
equations 13 and 19 reference variables
in equations 12 and 18, respectively.
Those variables would be updated for
consistency between the equations.
The units of measure 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 would be changed to the units
of the CEMS monitor, ppmv.

HH. Method 315 of Appendix A of Part
63
In Method 315, in Figure 315–1, an
omission would be corrected by adding
a ‘‘not to exceed’’ blank criteria for
filters used in this test procedure. The
blank criteria was derived from
evaluation of blank and spiked filters
used to prepare Method 315 audit
samples. We would set the allowable
blank correction for filters 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 would, therefore, be
based on the second criterion (balance
resolution) because it is the higher of
the two criteria.
II. Method 316 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 316, section 1.0, the

to provide meaningful burden reduction
by updating and clarifying methods and
performance specifications, thereby
improving data quality, and also by
providing source testers flexibility by

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an
information collection burden under the
PRA. The amendments being proposed
in this action to the test methods,
performance specifications, and testing

minor updates to existing testing
methodology. In addition, the proposed
amendments clarify performance 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
proposed rule 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

The EPA believes that this action is
not subject to Executive Order 12898 (59

does not establish an environmental
health or safety standard. This action
would correct and update existing

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 °C (85 °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 °C (85 °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 °C (85 °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 °C (248 °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 instack 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
E:\FR\FM\13DEP1.SGM
13DEP1
68077
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-ofstack filter that is maintained at a
constant temperature of 120 °C (248 °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 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.

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 °C, ±50 °F). This
will heat the sampling head and prevent
moisture from condensing from the
sample gas stream.

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
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 emission 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)

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

instead of installing a CEMS or PM
CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or inline 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

§§ 60.2145 and 60.2165. As prescribed in § 60.2145(u), if you use a CEMS or integrated sorbent trap monitoring system to demonstrate compliance with an emissions limit, your averaging time is a 30-day rolling average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission concentrations.
3 Alkali bypass and in-line coal mill stacks are subject to performance testing only, as specified in § 60.2145(y)(3). They are not subject to the CEMS, integrated
sorbent trap monitoring system, or CPMS requirements that otherwise may apply to the main kiln exhaust.

(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) During the initial performance test
or any such subsequent performance
test that demonstrates compliance with

the PM limit, record all hourly average
output values (milliamps, or the digital
signal equivalent) from the PM CPMS
for the periods corresponding to the test
runs (e.g., three 1-hour average PM
CPMS output values for three 1-hour
test runs):
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4–
20 milliamp output, or the digital signal
equivalent, and the establishment of its
relationship to manual reference
method measurements must be

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2019 / Proposed Rules
determined in units of milliamps or
digital bits;
(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 the
three corresponding Method 5 or
Method 29 p.m. test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM
performance test runs are below 75
percent of your PM emission 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:

■ 13. Amend § 60.2710 by revising
paragraphs (j) and (y)(3) to read as
follows:
§ 60.2710 How do I demonstrate
continuous compliance with the amended
emission limitations and the operating
limits?
*
*
*
*
*
(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must
conduct an annual performance test for
the pollutants (except mercury and
hydrogen chloride if no acid gas wet
scrubber or dry scrubber is used) listed
in table 8 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
68081
system according to paragraph (j)(2) of
this section. You must determine
continuing compliance with particulate
matter 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 inline 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).
■ 14. Revise § 60.2715 to read as
follows:
§ 60.2715 By what date must I conduct the
annual performance test?
You must conduct annual
performance tests no later than 13
calendar months following the previous
performance test.

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. If
a Viton A O-ring or other leak-free
connection is used in assembling the
probe nozzle to the probe liner, leakcheck the train at the sampling site by
plugging the nozzle and pulling a 380
mm (15 in.) Hg vacuum.
Note: A lower vacuum may be used,
provided that it is not exceeded during
the test.
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 (see note in section 8.1.3.2.1).
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 m3/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
68085
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
m3/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 m3
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.

6.1.1.8 Condenser. The following
system shall be used to determine the
stack gas moisture content: Four
impingers connected in series with leakfree 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 °C
(2 °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

Jkt 250001
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 °C (68 °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

2.1 A gas sample is extracted from the
stack. The SO2 is removed selectively
from the sample using a citrate buffer
solution. The TRS compounds are then
thermally oxidized to SO2 and analyzed

*
*
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.

prevent water condensation. This
temperature must be maintained
between 120 and 134 °C (248 and 273
°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

Follow the general procedure given in

maintain a temperature around the
probe, filter (and cyclone, if used)
between 120 and 134 °C (248 and
273 °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
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.

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 section
13.1, 13.2, and 13.3. Throughout the 24hour 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

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 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

I. Background
A. General
The EPA is proposing to approve the
portions of the State of New Jersey’s
Infrastructure SIP submission, dated
October 17, 2014, which address the
Clean Air Act (CAA) section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements
pertaining to interstate transport of
pollution with respect to the 2006 PM10,
2008 lead, 2010 NO2, and 2011 CO
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS).

On September 21, 2006 (71 FR 61144
(October 17, 2006)), the EPA retained 1
the primary and secondary 24-hour
PM10 standard of 150 micrograms per
cubic meter of air (mg/m3), as an average
over a 24-hour period, not to be
exceeded more than once per year on
average over a 3-year period, that was
initially promulgated on June 2, 1987
(52 FR 24634 (July 1, 1987)).
On October 15, 2008 (73 FR 66964
(November 12, 2008)), the EPA
promulgated a revised primary and
secondary NAAQS for lead. The 2008
lead NAAQS level is 0.15 mg/m3, and
the averaging time is a rolling 3-month
period with a maximum (not-to-beexceeded) form to be evaluated over a 3year period.
On January 22, 2010 (75 FR 6474
(February 9, 2010)), the EPA
promulgated a new 1-hour primary
NAAQS for NO2 at a level of 100 parts
per billion (ppb), based on a 3-year
average of the 98th percentile of the
yearly distribution of 1-hour daily
maximum concentrations.
On August 12, 2011 (76 FR 54294
(August 31, 2011)), the EPA retained the
existing primary standard for CO of 9
ppm as an 8-hour average, and 35 ppm
as a 1-hour standard average, neither to
be exceeded more than once per year.
The EPA initially established a NAAQS
for CO on April 30, 1971 (36 FR 8186).
B. EPA’s Infrastructure Requirements
Whenever EPA promulgates a new or
revised NAAQS, CAA section 110(a)(1)
requires states to make SIP submissions
to provide for the implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of the
NAAQS. This particular type of SIP
submission is commonly referred to as
an ‘‘infrastructure SIP.’’ These
submissions must meet the various
requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2),
as applicable. Due to ambiguity in some
of the language of CAA section
110(a)(2), the EPA believes that it is
appropriate to interpret these provisions
in the specific context of acting on
infrastructure SIP submissions. The EPA
has previously provided comprehensive
guidance on the application of these
provisions through a guidance
document for infrastructure SIP
submissions and through regional
actions on infrastructure submissions.2
1 The PM
10 standard was also retained on
December 14, 2012 (78 FR 3086 (January 15, 2013)),
but that is not being addressed in this action.
2 EPA explains and elaborates on these
ambiguities and its approach to address them in its
September 13, 2013 Infrastructure SIP Guidance
(available at https://www3.epa.gov/airquality/
urbanair/sipstatus/docs/Guidance_on_

II. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
The proposed amendments apply to industries that are subject to the
current provisions of 40 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?
This action proposes corrections and revisions to source test
methods, performance specifications (PS), and associated regulations.
The corrections and revisions consist primarily of typographical
errors, updates to testing procedures, and the addition of alternative
equipment and methods the Agency has deemed acceptable to use.
III. Background
The EPA catalogs errors and corrections, as well as necessary
revisions to test methods, performance specifications, and associated
regulations in 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61, and 63 and periodically updates
and revises these provisions. The most recent updates and revisions
were promulgated on November 14, 2018 (83 FR 56713). This proposed rule
addresses necessary corrections and revisions identified subsequent to
that final action, many of which were brought to our attention by
regulated sources and end-users, such as environmental consultants and
compliance professionals. These revisions will improve the quality of
data obtained and give source testers the flexibility to use newly-
approved alternative procedures.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
The EPA proposes to incorporate by reference one ASTM International
standard. Specifically, the EPA proposes to incorporate ASTM D 2369-10,
which covers volatile organic content of coatings, in Method 24. This
standard was developed and adopted by ASTM International and may be
obtained from https://www.astm.org or from the ASTM at 100 Barr Harbor
Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.
The EPA proposes to incorporate by reference SW-846 Method 6010D
and SW-846 Method 6020B in Method 12. Method 6010D covers inductively
[[Page 68071]]
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, DC 20460.
The EPA proposes to incorporate by reference Gas Processors
Association (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 proposes to incorporate 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.
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 are proposed.
The EPA proposes to update the ASTM standards referenced in Method
311, but these standards are not incorporated by reference. The EPA is
not proposing to update the ASTM standards referenced in Performance
Standard 18, which are not incorporated by reference.
V. Summary of Proposed Amendments
The following amendments are being proposed.
A. Method 201A of Appendix M of Part 51
In Method 201A, section 1.2, the erroneous gas filtration
temperature limit of 30 [deg]C would be revised to 29.4 [deg]C. In
section 1.6, the erroneous word ``recommended'' would be corrected to
``required.'' Section 6.2.1(d) would be 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
would be revised to 28 [deg]C. In section 17.0, the
erroneous caption for Figure 7 would be 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
would be corrected from ``Minimum Number of Traverse Points'' to
``Maximum Number of Traverse Points.''
B. General Provisions (Subpart A) of Part 60
In the General Provisions of part 60, Sec. 60.17(h) would be
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 part 60, Sec. 60.17(j) would be 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 part 60, Sec. 60.17(k) would be 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 part 60, Sec. 60.17(l) would be 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 Sec. 60.534(h), the language would be 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, so we are proposing language to clarify 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 Sec. 60.766(a)(3), the text for calibration of temperature
measurement would be revised to provide clarity and improve the
consistency of implementation.
E. Standards of Performance for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units (Subpart CCCC) of Part 60
Subpart CCCC of part 60 would be 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 Sec. Sec. 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. Tables 6 and 7,
however, presently specify PM CPMS as the performance test method for
determining compliance.
Paragraphs 60.2110(i)(1) and 60.2145(j) would be 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) would be 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) would also be revised to
add PM to the list of pollutants for which performance tests are
conducted annually. Paragraph (p) would be added to Sec. 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 would be changed
from ``between 11 and 13 calendar months following the previous
performance test'' to ``no later than 13 calendar
[[Page 68072]]
months following the previous performance test'' in paragraphs
60.2145(y)(3) and 60.2150. The current two-month testing range can
present operational and testing challenges for facilities that have
multiple commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI)
units, and this revision would be consistent with other rules, such as
the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from
Hazardous Waste Combustors, to which CISWI units may be subject.
Table 6 (Emission Limitations for Energy Recovery Units) and Table
7 (Emission Limitations for Waste-Burning Kilns) would be revised to
clarify the performance test method for PM. The fourth column of the
``Particulate matter (filterable)'' row of Table 6 would be 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 would be 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 would be changed from a 30-day rolling average to specify a
3-run average with a minimum sample volume of 2 dry standard cubic
meter (dscm) per run.
F. Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (Subpart DDDD) of Part 60
Subpart DDDD of part 60 would be 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 Sec. Sec. 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 and for purposes of ongoing
continuous demonstration of compliance, data from the compliant
performance test is in turn used to set an operating limit for the PM
CPMS. Tables 7 and 8, however, presently specify PM CPMS as the
performance test method for determining compliance.
Paragraphs 60.2675(i)(1) and 60.2710(j) would be revised to clarify
that the PM CPMS is used for continuing compliance demonstration with
the PM emission limit. Paragraph 60.2710(j) would be also revised to
clarify that PM performance tests are conducted annually and Sec. Sec.
60.2675(i)(1)(iii) and (i)(2) would be 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 would be
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 Sec. Sec. 60.2710(y)(3) and 60.2715.
The current two-month testing range can present operational and testing
challenges for facilities that have multiple CISWI units, and this
revision would be consistent with other rules, such as the National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Hazardous Waste
Combustors, to which CISWI units may be subject.
Table 7 (Emission Limitations for Energy Recovery Units) and Table
8 (Emission Limitations That Apply to Waste-Burning Kilns) would be
revised to clarify the performance test method for PM. The fourth
column of the ``Particulate matter filterable'' row of Table 7 would be
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 would be 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 would be 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 would be 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.
H. Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines (Subpart
KKKK) of Part 60
In 2006, 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, including 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 currently written, the initial and subsequent performance tests
required in Sec. 60.4415 may be satisfied by fuel analyses performed
by the facility, a contractor, the fuel vendor, or any other qualified
agency as described in Sec. 60.4415(a)(1). However, the fuel sample
must be collected using ASTM D5287 (Standard Practice for Automatic
Sampling of Gaseous Fuels). This method is not typically used by owner/
operators of natural gas pipelines and, as a result, tariff sheets
cannot be used without approval of the alternate method. This is
creating a situation where the owner/operators of the combustion
turbines must do their own sampling and testing, a burden that was not
intended in the original rulemaking.
To align the rule requirements with the original intent of subpart
KKKK, the EPA is proposing to include additional sampling methods in
order for tariff sheets to be used to satisfy the SO2
performance testing requirements. Specifically, Sec. 60.4415(a)(1)
would be amended to include GPA 2166 and ISO 10715 for manual sampling
of gaseous fuels. In addition, manual sampling method GPA 2174 would be
added for liquid fuels. The EPA is soliciting comment regarding whether
additional sampling methods should also be included and whether
additional test methods should be included in Sec. Sec. 60.4360 and
60.4415. Specifically, for sampling, EPA is soliciting comment on
including 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, 7th Edition, August 2017. For determining the sulfur content
of liquid fuels, EPA is soliciting comment on adding ASTM D5623-94
(2014) (Standard Test Method for Sulfur Compounds in Light Petroleum
Liquids by Gas Chromatography and Sulfur Selective Detection) and ASTM
D7039-15a (Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Gasoline and Diesel Fuel
by Monochromatic Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence
Spectrometry). For determining the sulfur content of gaseous fuels, EPA
is soliciting comment on adding GPA D2140-17 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Specifications
[[Page 68073]]
and Test Methods) and GPA 2261-19 (Analysis for Natural Gas and Similar
Gaseous Mixtures by Gas Chromatography).
These amendments would also be consistent with the burden reduction
proposed by the EPA in 2012 (77 FR 52554, August 29, 2012). In that
proposal, the EPA proposed amendments to subpart KKKK that would
eliminate the SO2 emissions limit for owner/operators of
combustion turbines burning natural gas and/or low sulfur distillate
and add additional sampling and test methods for owners/operators of
combustion turbines burning other fuels. (The EPA has not taken final
action on that proposal.)
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 Sec. 60.5476(i), the language would be 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 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, so we are
proposing language to clarify 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
would be corrected; the erroneous section 8.1.4.2 would be corrected;
and in the table in section 9.1, the erroneous reference to section
8.1.1.4 would be replaced with section 8.1.3.2.2.
Method 4 would be revised to standardize the constants between
Methods 4 and 5, and more significant digits would be added to
constants to remove rounding and truncation errors. Also, the option
for volumetric determination of the liquid content would be 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
would 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.
K. Method 5 of Appendix A-3 of Part 60
In Method 5, sections 6.2.4 and 8.1.2 would be 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 would also be revised to standardize the constants between
Methods 4 and 5, and more significant digits would be added to
constants to remove rounding and truncation errors. Also, the option
for volumetric determination of the liquid content would be 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
would occur in various sections (6.1.1.8, 6.2.5, 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.
L. Method 7C of Appendix A-4 of Part 60
In Method 7C, in section 7.2.11, the erroneous chemical compound,
sodium sulfite would be corrected to sodium nitrite.
M. Method 7E of Appendix A-4 of Part 60
In Method 7E, section 8.5 would be 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.
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 would
be revised to remove references regarding the use of silicone grease,
which is no longer allowed when conducting Method 5, and section 12.3
would be revised to correctly refer to the title of section 12.4 of
Method 5.
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; the proposed revisions to section 16.1
would provide testers with the necessary procedures to execute the 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 would be
revised to specify appropriate EPA analytical methods, as well as
supporting quality assurance procedures, as part of the allowed
alternatives to use 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. In regard to the options to use ICP-AES and ICP-MS for
analysis of lead, sections 16.4 and 16.5 currently do not include any
specifics for applying these candidate analytical techniques, nor any
procedures for assessing data quality. The proposed revisions would
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)
would be removed since CVAFS for lead is not generally available, and
there is no existing EPA method for conducting it.
O. Method 16B of Appendix A-6 of Part 60
In Method 16B, in section 2.1, the erroneous phrase ``an integrated
gas sample'' would be corrected to ``a gas sample.'' In sections 6.1
and 8.2, the reference to section 8.4.1 would be changed to 8.3.1 since
section 8.4.1 would be 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.'' would be moved to section 11.1 to be consistent with EPA test
method formatting. Sections 8.4, 8.4.1, and 8.4.2 would be renumbered
to 8.3, 8.3.1, and 8.3.2, respectively since the text in section 8.3
would be moved to section 11.1. In section 11.1, the sentence ``Sample
collection and analysis are concurrent for this method (see section
8.3).'' would be deleted. Section 11.2 would be added so that a uniform
set of analysis results would be obtained over the test period.
[[Page 68074]]
P. Method 16C of Appendix A-6 of Part 60
In Method 16C, in section 13.1, ``gas concentration'' would be
replaced with ``span'' for clarity.
Q. Method 24 of Appendix A-7 of Part 60
In Method 24, section 6.2, the most recent version of ASTM D 2369
(ASTM D 2369-10) would be added.
R. Method 25C of Appendix A-7 of Part 60
We are proposing to change the correction of non-methane organic
compounds (NMOC) within the method. Currently, we require the NMOC to
be corrected by nitrogen or oxygen content. The correction is done by
nitrogen unless the nitrogen content exceeds a threshold of 20 percent.
When the nitrogen threshold is above 20 percent, the correction is done
by oxygen. We are considering multiple options for revisions, which are
outlined in greater detail in docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0815, based on
data provided by industry also provided in docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-
0815. The revisions to the correction that we are considering 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 have
provided amendatory text for each option in docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-
0815.
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 would be corrected
to ``under reporting.''
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 would be 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 would be added because of the reactive nature of the
halogen acids. In section 8.1.5, the misspelled word ``undereporting''
would be corrected to ``under reporting.''
U. Performance Specification 4B of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 4B, the response time in section 4.5
would be changed from ``must not exceed 2 minutes'' to ``must not
exceed 240 seconds'' to be consistent with the response time in
Performance Specification 4A.
V. Performance Specification 5 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 5, section 5.0, the erroneous term
``users manual'' would be 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.'' would
be added to provide consistency with the number of aliquots analyzed in
Method 16B, which may be used as the reference method.
W. Performance Specification 6 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 6, section 13.1 would be 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). Section 13.2 would be revised for clarity
and to be consistent with the requirements in Performance Specification
2.
X. Performance Specification 8 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 8, a new section 8.3 would be 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 would be re-numbered as 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6, respectively.
Y. Performance Specification 9 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 9, the quality control and performance
audit sections would be 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 would be added.
In section 8.3, an incorrect reference concerning quality control
requirements that pertain to the 7-day drift test would be clarified
and corrected, and an incorrect reference to the error calculation
equation would be corrected. In section 8.4, a requirement to ensure
that performance audit samples challenge the entire sampling system
including the sample transport lines would be added, and quality
control requirements that must be met for performance audit tests would
be specified by adding references to sections 13.3 and 13.4.
In section 10.1, the erroneous word ``initial'' would be deleted
from the title, ``Initial Multi-Point Calibration,'' and the quality
control requirements that must be met for multi-point calibrations
would be specified by referencing sections 13.1 and 13.2 in addition to
13.3. Sections 10.1 and 10.2 would be clarified such that calibrations
may be performed at the instrument rather than through the entire
sampling system.
In section 13.1, language would be 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 would be 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 would be added to describe the
quality control requirements for the initial and periodic performance
audit test sample.
Z. Performance Specification 18 of Appendix B of Part 60
In Performance Specification 18, section 2.3 would be revised to
clarify that Method 321 is only applicable to Portland cement plants.
Also, in section 11.9.1, the reference to Method 321 would be deleted
because Method 321 is specific to Portland cement plants, and it is
already specified in the applicable regulations.
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 would be specified for
clarity.
BB. Method 107 of Appendix B of Part 61
In Method 107, the erroneous equation 107-3 would be corrected by
adding the omitted plus (+) sign.
CC. General Provisions (Subpart A) of Part 63
In the General Provisions of part 63, in Sec. 63.2, the definition
of alternative test method would be revised to exclude ``that is not a
test method in this chapter and'' because doing so clarifies that to
use methods other than those required by a specific subpart requires
the alternative test method review and approval process.
[[Page 68075]]
Section 63.14(h) would be revised to add ASTM D 4457, ASTM D 4747,
ASTM D 4827, and ASTM D 5910 to the list of incorporations by reference
and to re-number the remaining consensus standards that are
incorporated by reference in alpha-numeric order.
DD. Portland Cement Manufacturing (Subpart LLL) of Part 63
In subpart LLL, the units of measure in Equations 12, 13, 17, 18,
and 19 would be revised to add clarity and consistency. Equations 12
and 13 need to be corrected so that the operating limit units of
measure 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 illustrated 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 would be
updated to reflect this. The variables in equations 13 and 19 reference
variables in equations 12 and 18, respectively. Those variables would
be updated for consistency between the equations.
The units of measure 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 would be changed to the units of the CEMS
monitor, ppmv.
EE. Method 301 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 301, section 11.1.3, the erroneous SD in equation 301-13
would be replaced with SDd.
FF. Method 308 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 308, section 12.4, erroneous equation 308-3 would be
corrected, and in section 12.5, erroneous equation 308-5 would be
corrected.
GG. Method 311 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 311, in sections 1.1 and 17, the ASTM would be updated.
Specifically, in section 1.1, ASTM D4747-87 would be updated to D4747-
02, and ASTM D4827-93 would be updated to D4827-03. Also, in section
1.1, Provisional Standard Test Method, PS 9-94 would be replaced with
D5910-05. In section 17, ASTM D4457-85 would be updated to ASTM D4457-
02, and ASTM D4827-93 would be updated to ASTM D4827-03.
HH. Method 315 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 315, in Figure 315-1, an omission would be corrected by
adding a ``not to exceed'' blank criteria for filters used in this test
procedure. The blank criteria was derived from evaluation of blank and
spiked filters used to prepare Method 315 audit samples. We would set
the allowable blank correction for filters 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 would, therefore, be based on the second criterion (balance
resolution) because it is the higher of the two criteria.
II. Method 316 of Appendix A of Part 63
In Method 316, section 1.0, the erroneous positive exponents would
be corrected to negative exponents. Also, the title of section 1.0,
``Introduction,'' would be changed to ``Scope and Application'' to be
consistent with the Environmental Monitoring Management Council (EMMC)
format for test methods.
JJ. Method 323 of Appendix A of Part 63
In the title of Method 323, the misspelled word ``Derivitization''
would be corrected to ``Derivatization,'' and in section 2.0, the
misspelled word ``colorietrically'' would be corrected to
``colorimetrically.''
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at https://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 expected to be an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory
action. This proposed rule is expected to provide meaningful burden
reduction by updating and clarifying methods and performance
specifications, thereby improving data quality, and also by providing
source testers flexibility by incorporating approved alternative
procedures.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. The amendments being proposed in this action to the test
methods, performance specifications, and testing regulations only make
corrections and minor updates to existing testing methodology. In
addition, the proposed amendments clarify performance 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 proposed rule 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.
[[Page 68076]]
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 would correct and update 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 and 1 CFR Part 51
This action involves technical standards. The EPA proposes to use
ASTM D 2369 in Method 24. The ASTM D 2369 standard covers volatile
content of coatings. The EPA proposes to use ASTM D 4457, ASTM D 4747,
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 ASTM standards were developed and adopted by the
American Society for Testing and Materials and may be obtained from
https://www.astm.org or from the ASTM at 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box
C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.
The EPA proposes to use 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 proposes to use 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.
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 would correct and
update existing testing regulations.

2. Revise sections 1.2, 1.6, 6.2.1(d), and 8.6.6 and Figure 7 in Method
201A of appendix M to part 51 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
[[Page 68077]]
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 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.

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

7. Amend Sec. 60.2110 by revising the introductory text to paragraph
(i) and paragraphs (i)(1) and (2) 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 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 emission 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 the introductory text to paragraph
(j) and paragraph (y)(3) to read as follows:
Sec. 60.2145 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
emission limitations and the operating limits?
* * * * *
[[Page 68079]]
(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).
* * * * *
0
9. Revise Sec. 60.2150 to read as follows:
Sec. 60.2150 By what date must I conduct the annual performance test?
You must conduct annual performance tests no later than 13 calendar
months following the previous performance test.
0
10. Amend Sec. 60.2210 by revising the introductory paragraph 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:
* * * * *
(p) For energy recovery units, include the annual heat input and
average annual heat input rate of all fuels being burned in the unit to
verify which subcategory of energy recovery unit applies.

\1\ All emission limitations are measured at 7 percent oxygen (except for CEMS and integrated sorbent trap
monitoring system data during startup and shutdown), dry basis at standard conditions. For dioxins/furans, you
must meet either the Total Mass Basis limit or the toxic equivalency basis limit.
\2\ In lieu of performance testing, you may use a CEMS or, for mercury, an integrated sorbent trap monitoring
system, to demonstrate initial and continuing compliance with an emissions limit, as long as you comply with
the CEMS or integrated sorbent trap monitoring system requirements applicable to the specific pollutant in
Sec. Sec. 60.2145 and 60.2165. As prescribed in Sec. 60.2145(u), if you use a CEMS or integrated sorbent
trap monitoring system to demonstrate compliance with an emissions limit, your averaging time is a 30-day
rolling average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission concentrations.
\3\ Alkali bypass and in-line coal mill stacks are subject to performance testing only, as specified in Sec.
60.2145(y)(3). They are not subject to the CEMS, integrated sorbent trap monitoring system, or CPMS
requirements that otherwise may apply to the main kiln exhaust.

12. Amend Sec. 60.2675 by revising the introductory text to paragraph
(i) and paragraphs (i)(1) and (2) to read as follows:
Sec. 60.2675 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) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
all hourly average output values (milliamps, or the digital signal
equivalent) from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the test
runs (e.g., three 1-hour average PM CPMS output values for three 1-hour
test runs):
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4-20 milliamp output, or the
digital signal equivalent, and the establishment of its relationship to
manual reference method measurements must be
[[Page 68081]]
determined in units of milliamps or digital bits;
(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 the three
corresponding Method 5 or Method 29 p.m. test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM performance test runs are below
75 percent of your PM emission 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:

as follows:
Sec. 60.2710 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
amended emission limitations and the operating limits?
* * * * *
(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must conduct an annual performance
test for the pollutants (except mercury and hydrogen chloride if no
acid gas wet scrubber or dry scrubber is used) listed in table 8 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
continuing compliance with particulate matter 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).

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. If a Viton
A O-ring or other leak-free connection is used in assembling the probe
nozzle to the probe liner, leak-check the train at the sampling site by
plugging the nozzle and pulling a 380 mm (15 in.) Hg vacuum.
Note: A lower vacuum may be used, provided that it is not exceeded
during the test.
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 (see note in
section 8.1.3.2.1). 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.

polyethylene, unless otherwise specified by the Administrator.

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
[[Page 68088]]

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.

The TRS compounds are then thermally oxidized to SO2 and
analyzed as SO2 by gas chromatography (GC) using flame
photometric detection (FPD).

6.1 Sample Collection. The sampling train is shown in Figure 16B-1.
Modifications to the apparatus are accepted provided the system
performance check in Section 8.3.1 is met.
* * * * *
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.
* * * * *
11.1 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.
11.2 Perform analysis of a minimum of three aliquots or one every
15 minutes, whichever is greater, spaced evenly over the test period.

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.)

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 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 1. 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
[[Page 68092]]
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 section 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 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 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 or ASTM D 4747-02.
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
[[Page 68095]]
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.
