| (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 (O2), 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: (A) other than pyrolysis reactors: (i) with a maximum rated capacity equal to or greater 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: (A) gas-fired rich-burn engines: (i) fired on landfill gas, 0.60 grams per horsepower-hour (g/hp-hr); and (ii) all others, 0.50 g/hp-hr; (B) gas-fired lean-burn engines, except as specified in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph: (i) fired on landfill gas, 0.60 g/hp-hr; and (ii) all others, 0.50 g/hp-hr; (C) dual-fuel engines: (i) with initial start of operation on or before December 31, 2000, 5.83 g/hp-hr; and (ii) with initial start of operation after December 31, 2000, 0.50 g/hp-hr; and (D) diesel engines, excluding dual-fuel engines, placed 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.
