in the Dallas-Fort Worth eight-hour ozone nonattainment area, no person
shall allow the discharge into the atmosphere nitrogen oxides (NOX ) emissions in excess of 0.12 pounds per million
British thermal units (lb/MMBtu) for wood-fired boilers, in accordance

(3) stationary gas turbines:
(A) with a horsepower (hp) rating of less than 10,000
hp, 0.55 lb/MMBtu; and
(B) with a hp rating of 10,000 hp or greater, 0.15
lb/MMBtu.
(c) NOX averaging time.
The emission specifications of subsections (a) and (b) of this section
apply:
(1) if the unit is operated with a NOX continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS)
or predictive emissions monitoring system (PEMS) under §117.440
of this title (relating to Continuous Demonstration of Compliance),
either as:
(A) a rolling 30-day average, in the units of the applicable
standard;
(B) a block one-hour average, in the units of the applicable
standard, or alternatively;
(C) a block one-hour average, in pounds per hour, for
boilers and process heaters, calculated as the product of the boiler's
or process heater's maximum rated capacity and its applicable specification
in lb/MMBtu; and
(2) if the unit is not operated with a NOX CEMS or PEMS under §117.440 of this
title, a block one-hour average, in the units of the applicable standard.
Alternatively for boilers and process heaters, the emission specification
may be applied in pounds per hour, as specified in paragraph (1)(C)
of this subsection.
(d) Related emissions. No person shall allow the discharge
into the atmosphere from any unit subject to NOX emission
specifications in subsection (a) or (b) of this section, emissions
in excess of the following, except as provided in §117.425 of
this title (relating to Alternative Case Specific Specifications)
or paragraph (3) of this subsection.
(1) Carbon monoxide (CO) emissions must not exceed
400 ppmv at 3.0% O2, dry basis (or alternatively,
3.0 g/hp-hr for stationary internal combustion engines; or 775 ppmv
at 7.0% O2, dry basis for wood fuel-fired
boilers or process heaters):
(A) on a rolling 24-hour averaging period, for units
equipped with CEMS or PEMS for CO; and
(B) on a block one-hour averaging period, for units
not equipped with CEMS or PEMS for CO.
(2) For units that inject urea or ammonia into the
exhaust stream for NOX control, ammonia
emissions must not exceed 10 ppmv at 3.0% O2,
dry, for boilers and process heaters; 15% O2,
dry, for stationary gas turbines and gas-fired lean-burn engines;
and 3.0% O2, dry, for all other units,
based on:
(A) a block one-hour averaging period for units not
equipped with a CEMS or PEMS for ammonia; and
(B) a rolling 24-hour averaging period for units equipped
with CEMS or PEMS for ammonia.
(3) The correction of CO emissions to 3.0% O2, dry basis, in paragraph (1) of this subsection
does not apply to boilers and process heaters operating at less than
10% of maximum load and with stack O2 in
excess of 15% (i.e., hot-standby mode).
(e) Compliance flexibility.
(1) An owner or operator may use any of the following
alternative methods to comply with the NOX emission
specifications of this section:
(A) §117.423 of this title (relating to Source
Cap); or
(B) §117.9800 of this title (relating to Use of
Emission Credits for Compliance).
(2) Section 117.425 of this title is not an applicable
method of compliance with the NOX emission
specifications of this section.
(3) An owner or operator may petition the executive
director for an alternative to the CO or ammonia specifications of
this section in accordance with §117.425 of this title.
(f) Prohibition of circumvention.
(1) The maximum rated capacity used to determine the
applicability of the emission specifications in this section and the
initial compliance demonstration, monitoring, testing requirements,
and final control plan in §§117.435, 117.440, and 117.452
of this title (relating to Initial Demonstration of Compliance; Continuous
Demonstration of Compliance; and Final Control Plan Procedures for
Reasonably Available Control Technology) must be the greater of the
following:
(A) the maximum rated capacity as of December 31, 2012;
(B) the maximum rated capacity after December 31, 2012;
or
(C) the maximum rated capacity authorized by a permit
issued under Chapter 116 of this title (relating to Control of Air
Pollution by Permits for New Construction or Modification) after December
31, 2012.
(2) A unit's classification is determined by the most
specific classification applicable to the unit as of December 31,
2012. For example, a unit that is classified as a stationary gas-fired
engine as of December 31, 2012, but subsequently is authorized to
operate as a dual-fuel engine, is classified as a stationary gas-fired
engine for the purposes of this chapter.
(3) A source that met the definition of major source
on December 31, 2012, is always classified as a major source for purposes
of this chapter. A source that did not meet the definition of major
source (i.e., was a minor source, or did not yet exist) on December
31, 2012, but becomes a major source at any time after December 31,
2012, is from that time forward always classified as a major source
for purposes of this chapter.
