  (1) assign to each affected unit the maximum NO X emission rate, expressed in units of pounds per million British thermal units heat input on:

    (A) a rolling 24-hour average and rolling 30-day average for gaseous fuel firing; and

    (B) a rolling 24-hour average for oil or coal firing;

  (2) submit a list to the executive director for approval of:

    (A) the maximum allowable NOX emission rates identified in paragraph (1) of this subsection; and

    (B) the maximum rated capacity for each unit;

  (3) submit calculations used to calculate the system-wide average in accordance with §117.1215(e) of this title; and

  (4) maintain a copy of the approved list of emission limits for verification of continued compliance with the requirements of §117.1215 of this title.

(c) The report must be submitted by the applicable date specified for final control plans in §117.9120 of this title (relating to Compliance Schedule for Houston-Galveston-Brazoria Ozone Nonattainment Area Utility Electric Generation Sources). The plan must be updated with any emission compliance measurements submitted for units using continuous emissions monitoring system or predictive emissions monitoring system and complying with an emission limit on a rolling 30-day average, according to the applicable schedule given in §117.9120 of this title.
