Worth, El Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, compliance with §115.131(a), §115.132(a),
and §115.137 of this title (relating to Emission Specifications;
Control Requirements; and Exemptions) shall be determined by applying
the following test methods, as appropriate:
(1) Test Methods 1-4 (40 Code of Federal Regulations
60, Appendix A) for determining flow rate, as necessary;
(2) Test Method 18 (40 Code of Federal Regulations
60, Appendix A) for determining gaseous organic compound emissions
by gas chromatography;
(3) Test Method 25 (40 Code of Federal Regulations
60, Appendix A) for determining total gaseous nonmethane organic emissions
as carbon;
(4) Test Methods 25A or 25B (40 Code of Federal Regulations
60, Appendix A) for determining total gaseous organic concentrations
using flame ionization or nondispersive infrared analysis;
(5) determination of true vapor pressure at actual
storage temperature using American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM)
Test Methods D323-89, D2879, D4953, D5190, or D5191; using API Publication
2517, Third Edition, 1989 or standard reference texts to convert from
Reid vapor pressure to true vapor pressure, where applicable; or
(6) minor modifications to these test methods approved
by the executive director.
(b) For Gregg, Nueces, and Victoria Counties, compliance
with §115.131(b), §115.132(b), and §115.137(b) of this
