RULE §117.310Emission Specifications for Attainment Demonstration

    (B) a deduction in allowances equal to the increase in NOX emissions at the non-ESAD unit is made as specified in §101.354 of this title (relating to Allowance Deductions);

  (4) a source that met the definition of major source on December 31, 2000, 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, 2000, but at any time after December 31, 2000, becomes a major source, is from that time forward always classified as a major source for purposes of this chapter; and

  (5) the availability under subsection (a)(17) of this section of an emission specification for units with an annual capacity factor of 0.0383 or less is based on the unit's status on December 31, 2000. Reduced operation after December 31, 2000, cannot be used to qualify for a more lenient emission specification under subsection (a)(17) of this section than would otherwise apply to the unit.

(f) Operating restrictions. No person shall start or operate any stationary diesel or dual-fuel engine for testing or maintenance between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and noon, except:

  (1) for specific manufacturer's recommended testing requiring a run of over 18 consecutive hours;

  (2) to verify reliability of emergency equipment (e.g., emergency generators or pumps) immediately after unforeseen repairs. Routine maintenance such as an oil change is not considered to be an unforeseen repair; or

  (3) firewater pumps for emergency response training conducted in the months of April through October.
