(a) Emission specifications for the Mass Emission Cap
and Trade Program. The nitrogen oxides (NOX )
emission rate values used to determine allocations for Chapter 101,
Subchapter H, Division 3 of this title (relating to Mass Emissions
Cap and Trade Program) must be the lower of any applicable permit
limit in a permit issued before January 2, 2001; any permit issued
on or after January 2, 2001, that the owner or operator submitted
an application determined to be administratively complete by the executive
director before January 2, 2001; any limit in a permit by rule under
which construction commenced by January 2, 2001; or the following
emission specifications:
(1) gas-fired boilers:
(A) with a maximum rated capacity equal to or greater
than 100 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr), 0.020
pounds per million British thermal units (lb/MMBtu);
(B) with a maximum rated capacity equal to or greater
than 40 MMBtu/hr, but less than 100 MMBtu/hr, 0.030 lb/MMBtu; and
(C) with a maximum rated capacity less than 40 MMBtu/hr,
0.036 lb/MMBtu (or alternatively, 30 parts per million by volume (ppmv)
NOX , at 3.0% oxygen (O
2 ), dry basis);
(2) fluid catalytic cracking units (including carbon
monoxide (CO) boilers, CO furnaces, and catalyst regenerator vents),
one of the following:
(A) 40 ppmv NOX at 0.0%
O2 , dry basis;
(B) a 90% NOX reduction
of the exhaust concentration used to calculate the June - August 1997
daily NOX emissions. To ensure that this
emission specification will result in a real 90% reduction in actual
emissions, a consistent methodology must be used to calculate the
90% reduction; or
(C) alternatively, for units that did not use a continuous
emissions monitoring system (CEMS) or predictive emissions monitoring
system (PEMS) to determine the June - August 1997 exhaust concentration,
the owner or operator may:
(i) install and certify a NOX CEMS
or PEMS as specified in §117.340(f) or (g) of this title (relating
to Continuous Demonstration of Compliance) no later than June 30,
2001;
(ii) establish the baseline NOX emission
level to be the third quarter 2001 data from the CEMS or PEMS;
(iii) provide this baseline data to the executive director
no later than October 31, 2001; and
(iv) achieve a 90% NOX reduction
of the exhaust concentration established in this baseline;
(3) boilers and industrial furnaces (BIF units) that
were regulated as existing facilities in 40 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 266, Subpart H (as was in effect on June 9, 1993):
(A) with a maximum rated capacity equal to or greater
than 100 MMBtu/hr, 0.015 lb/MMBtu; and
(B) with a maximum rated capacity less than 100 MMBtu/hr:
(i) 0.030 lb/MMBtu; or
(ii) an 80% reduction from the emission factor used
to calculate the June - August 1997 daily NOX emissions.
To ensure that this emission specification will result in a real 80%
reduction in actual emissions, a consistent methodology must be used
to calculate the 80% reduction;
(4) coke-fired boilers, 0.057 lb/MMBtu;
(5) wood fuel-fired boilers, 0.060 lb/MMBtu;
(6) rice hull-fired boilers, 0.089 lb/MMBtu;
(7) liquid-fired boilers, 2.0 pounds per 1,000 gallons
of liquid burned;
(8) process heaters:

than 40 MMBtu/hr, 0.025 lb/MMBtu; and
(ii) with a maximum rated capacity less 40 MMBtu/hr,
0.036 lb/MMBtu (or alternatively, 30 ppmv NOX ,
at 3.0% O2 , dry basis); and
(B) pyrolysis reactors, 0.036 lb/MMBtu;
(9) stationary, reciprocating internal combustion engines:

31, 2000, 5.83 g/hp-hr; and
(ii) with initial start of operation after December
31, 2000, 0.50 g/hp-hr; and

into service before October 1, 2001, that have not been modified,
reconstructed, or relocated on or after October 1, 2001, the lower
of 11.0 g/hp-hr or the emission rate established by testing, monitoring,
manufacturer's guarantee, or manufacturer's other data. For the purposes
of this subparagraph, the terms "modification" and "reconstruction"
