The American Petroleum Institute appreciates EPA finalizing this rule as it provides needed flexibility while remaining true to the core mission of the Agency.The limited, temporary revisions to Part 75 quality assurance requirements provide an appropriate balance of data quality considerations, public health concerns, and environmental protection,

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the emissions reporting regulations applicable to sources that monitor and report emissions under the Acid Rain Program, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), and/or the NOX SIP Call. The amendments provide that, in periods of national emergency, if an affected unit fails to complete a required quality-assurance, certification or recertification, fuel analysis, or emission rate test by the applicable deadline under the regulations for reasons related to the emergency and the unit’s actual monitored data would be considered valid if not for the delayed test, the unit may temporarily continue to report actual monitored data instead of substitute data.
