Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
Following the date on which the initial performance test is completed, as required by Section 229.142 of this Part, each owner or operator of an HMIWI, as applicable, shall conduct an annual performance test to determine compliance with the applicable PM, CO and HCl emission limits specified in Section 229.125 or 229.126 of this Part, using the applicable test procedures and methods specified in Section 229.140 of this Part.
a) Annual performance test schedules are as follows:
