(a) Except as provided in subsection (c), the
owner and operator of an air contamination source subject to a
NO

RACT requirement or RACT emission limitation, or both, listed in §
129.97 (relating to presumptive
RACT requirements, RACT emission limitations and petition for alternative
compliance schedule) shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable RACT
requirement or RACT emission limitation by performing the following monitoring
or testing procedures:
(1) For an air
contamination source with a CEMS, monitoring and testing in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 139, Subchapter C (relating to requirements for source
monitoring for stationary sources) using a 30-day rolling average, except
municipal waste combustors.
(i) A 30-day
rolling average emission rate for an air contamination source that is a
combustion unit shall be expressed in pounds per million Btu and calculated in
accordance with the following procedure:
(A)
Sum the total pounds of pollutant emitted from the combustion unit for the
current operating day and the previous 29 operating days.
(B) Sum the total heat input to the
combustion unit in million Btu for the current operating day and the previous
29 operating days.
(C) Divide the
total number of pounds of pollutant emitted by the combustion unit for the 30
operating days by the total heat input to the combustion unit for the 30
operating days.
(ii) A
30-day rolling average emission rate for each applicable RACT emission
limitation shall be calculated for an affected air contamination source for
each consecutive operating day.
(iii) Each 30-day rolling average emission
rate for an affected air contamination source must include the emissions that
occur during the entire operating day, including emissions from start-ups,
shutdowns and malfunctions.
(2) For a Portland cement kiln with a CEMS,
monitoring of clinker production rates in accordance with
40 CFR
63.1350(d) (relating to
monitoring requirements).
(3) For a
municipal waste combustor with a CEMS, monitoring and testing in accordance
with the requirements in Chapter 139, Subchapter C, using a daily
average.
(4) For an air
contamination source without a CEMS, monitoring and testing in accordance with
a Department-approved emissions source test that meets the requirements of
Chapter 139, Subchapter A (relating to sampling and testing methods and
procedures). The source test shall be conducted one time in each 5-year
calendar period.
(b)
Except as provided in §
129.97(k) and
§
129.99(i)
(relating to alternative RACT proposal and petition for alternative compliance
schedule), the owner and operator of an air contamination source subject to
subsection (a) shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable RACT
requirement or RACT emission limitation in accordance with the procedures in
subsection (a) not later than:
(1) January 1,
2017, for a source subject to §
129.96(a)
(relating to applicability).
(2)
January 1, 2017, or 1 year after the date that the source meets the definition
of a major NOx emitting facility or major VOC emitting
facility, whichever is later, for a source subject to §
129.96(b).
(c) An owner
or operator of an air contamination source subject to this section,
§§
129.96 and
129.97 and §
129.98 (relating to facility-wide
or system-wide NO
x emissions averaging plan general
requirements) may request a waiver from the requirement to demonstrate
compliance with the applicable emission limitation listed in §
129.97 if the following
requirements are met:
(1) The request for a
waiver is submitted, in writing, to the Department not later than:
(i) October 24, 2016, for a source subject to
§ 129.96(a).
(ii) October 24,
2016, or 6 months after the date that the source meets the definition of a
major NOx emitting facility or major VOC emitting
facility, whichever is later, for a source subject to §
129.96(b).
(2) The
request for a waiver demonstrates that a Department-approved emissions source
test was performed in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 139,
Subchapter A, on or after:
(i) April 23,
2015, for a source subject to § 129.96(a).
(ii) April 23, 2015, or within 12 months
prior to the date that the source meets the definition of a major
NOx emitting facility or major VOC emitting facility,
whichever is later, for a source subject to § 129.96(b).
(3) The request for a waiver
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department that the test results show
that the source's rate of emissions is in compliance with the source's
applicable NOx emission limitation or VOC emission
limitation.
(4) The Department
approves, in writing, the request for a waiver.
(d) The owner and operator of an air
contamination source subject to this section and §§
129.96-
129.99 shall keep records to
demonstrate compliance with §§
129.96-
129.99 in the following manner:
(1) The records must include sufficient data
and calculations to demonstrate that the requirements of §§
129.96-129.99 are met.
(2) Data or
information required to determine compliance shall be recorded and maintained
in a time frame consistent with the averaging period of the
requirement.

contamination source's potential to emit shall maintain records that
demonstrate to the Department or appropriate approved local air pollution
control agency that the air contamination source is not subject to the
specified emission rate threshold.
(f) Beginning with the compliance date
specified in §
129.97(a), the
